Chapter 58: The Remarkable Partners

Gwen was groaning whenever she thinks very deeply about what she just suddenly dreamed about. It was painful which made her nose bleeds a little and Wilma sighed and gently caressed her cheeks while sending a comforting energy to calm her down. Gwen wipes the blood from her nose.

"Don't force yourself, Sabina…Slavica will feel it." Wilma reminded her about slowing down her mind from thinking too much.

"Oh, right…Celene…she might knew that huntress…" Gwen nodded and then recalled Celene.

Then there were some flashing images that came into her mind. It was a certain image of the same lady huntress crying but she collect herself and was strong for her unborn child. Then another flash happened when Gwen was taken into another place where she saw the same huntress being happy around a certain man, a vampire that was from Aspire clan.

"I think that huntress was the mother of the abomination they were calling in the vampire kingdom." Gwen suddenly concluded as soon as she saw those images from the past and then she got the feeling that Celene might have some knowledge about the particular lone huntress that she saw in her dream.

"That's big if it's true…" Nejin reacted to what he heard from Gwen's conclusion.

"I'll inform her." Jefferson was about to leave the office to inform Celene what they heard from Gwen's sudden dream.

"Wait, Jeff. We are still not sure about it and since Sabina had that input…" Mina stopped him since she wanted to make sure about things first before telling them to the person who had a connection to them.

"Sabina, you have to put that dream into consideration and make sure to handle that assigned task that I gave to the Star Elite Team, especially to you and Slavica." Mina told Gwen who nodded in understanding.

"The case around the Singarti and Ciel Nocturne were getting sensitive the two of you have to be careful in dealing with them. Plan it thoroughly." Mina seriously added as she heard what dream Gwen had that might have some connection to what she assigned them.

"I will…now, I'm starving." Gwen nodded and on cue, her stomach started complaining which made the founders to chuckled. Wilma offered her hand and excused themself since Gwen needed to feed.

When they were gone, Wilma and Gwen appeared in the hallway not far from the cafeteria. Wilma was assisting Gwen until they made it inside. She let Gwen take her food before heading to the DIP clinic where Gwen pinned her lover on its bed.

"How's Slavica?" Gwen asked as soon as she entered after a knock.

"Sleeping." Akasha was the one who answered because Alysia wasn't around the clinic.

"It seems to me that you used your awakening power to connect something in such a distance." Akasha smiled as she patted the vacant chair beside her. She let Gwen rest there and nodded at the presence of Wilma.

"Is it obvious because of the food on my tray?" Gwen chuckled as she put the tray full of food.

"Yes, but not just that…you're spirits…" She nodded and looked deeply into Gwen's energy flow radiating around her.

"Spirits?" Gwen wondered about them.

"Bloody Flame and the Polaris. They were your spirits from your ancestral and your father." Akasha smiled and patted her shoulder before she went to the medicine cabinet to get something for her.

"When you're full, here. It's a pain reliever that will help you relax and the effect will hit you quickly and it lasted for an hour." Akasha instructed like any caring doctor to their patient.

"Thanks." Gwen thanked her and start munching her food one by one but each of them was not just being eaten but inhaled.

Akasha and Wilma laughed at how huge her appetite was and never got fat. But their laughter and some chats died down when Slavica started to wake up. She began to stir in her bed and yawned. She looked around and jumped from the bed as she didn't realize that she was not pinned on the bed anymore until she was holding her lover in her arms.

"I'm okay…don't tell me you saw my dream that's you run to hold me?" Gwen smirked as she savor the moment that Slavica was holding her dearly into her arms.

"Well not just your dream but Irina's status as well. I'm glad she got you and she knew me well whenever I'm being overwhelmed by agitation. It rarely occurs though it was totally uncontrollable if not being taken care of as soon as possible." Slavica inhaled Gwen's scent before kissing her shoulder and pulling away from her hold. Gwen missed the contact already but when she saw the smirk on Slavica's lips she blushed and rolled her eyes.

'One day, my love. Let's be patient and let our love grow more.'

"I know." Gwen responded to the sudden mind link that Slavica sent privately to her.

"I understand and next time you feel that, rely on me. I will be glad to give you a hand. You're not alone on this anymore. I'm with you." She said to Slavica for Wilma and Akasha won't notice what they've exchanged privately. there.

"Thanks…" Slavica smiled and her stomach crumbles in hunger.

"Oh, here, I saved some snacks for you." Her lover handed her a saved snack to Slavica.

"Lovely, I'm a bit hungry." Slavica grinned and accepted it. She started eating while Gwen was watching her in such adoration and love.

"So, about what you've saw…" Gwen recalled while Akasha handed Slavica a cup of tea and Wilma was sitting comfortably on Akasha's desk.

"Wait, let me…at Irina's case earlier and what you saw there, it was the perimeter of the Stronghold pack. They were small packs but based on what you saw there…I'm glad you decided not to let them proceed because the dark malice around the area was a soul-taker. But it weakens at daylight, particularly at dawn." Slavica cut her lover there and started first to Irina's case which Gwen listened carefully.

"Hm, then I'm glad to let Irina and Belle deal with it tomorrow morning before the sun hits the ground." Gwen nodded.

"Well done, my love. But the question that they need to find answers, why it vanished. Why did nobody report to us? Or why that malice never left and it was covering the traces that have been left there?" Slavica might be munching her food inside her mouth but she was serious about the question she asked. Gwen found Slavica's way of eating cute but she didn't focus on it yet.

"I don't think there are some traces left behind…" Gwen informed firmly that caught their attention completely.

"Got something from it?" Akasha wondered.

"Hm, I am not sure if there's another creature who had the same ability that I can do among those rogues who attacked the pack." Gwen sighed while thinking about a certain thing and Slavica caught it.

"What ability that you are talking about, my love?" she wondered which made her lover look at her before sighing.

"The ability to erase the existence of any creature." she answered made Slavica curious.

"But you only used it to the fallen rogues…" Slavica said since she knew that Gwen only could use them against fallen rogues.

"Then it means that the stronghold pack was fallen rogues?" Akasha wondered before she glared at Wilma who was playing with her medical books by making it float. Wilma shrugged her shoulders before she smile apologetically and let those books back to where they were supposed to be resting.

"I don't think that was the case…I think the creature who can erase their existence might be not a selective one like what I can do." Gwen answered that caught Slavica's attention. She recalled something.

"Wait, Wilma, does a reaper still exist in this generation?" Slavica asked Wilma directly.

"Yes, but they were only a few and only a chosen one who had that ability. And if any reaper goes against their nature's job, they will turn into a fallen, or if not, they'll die as soon as the crime was committed." Wilma explained that Gwen already making her usual mental note from everything that she saw earlier and what they'd talked about just now.

"Hmm…I see…" she nodded which Slavica noticed.

"Sabina?" Slavica wondered.

"Slavica, I think the dark malice was from that reaper." Gwen informed her and Slavica took it into consideration since it was a possibility as well.

"Maybe you're right…one of the abilities of a reaper was camouflage aside from diversion, erase, and necromancy. But we'll be sure once we check on it." Slavica said seriously as if there was another thing that she was not disclosing to them and Gwen was respecting that.

"Shall we head there tomorrow and meet with Irina?" she asked her lover.

"Yeah, we have to…things change all of a sudden…" she nodded and finished her snack before getting up from sitting on the bed where she slept and pinned down.

"Then since you're done, let's head to our room to plan more about it." Gwen said and Slavica sensed that she caught something in her just a few seconds earlier.

"Sure thing." She agreed when Akasha reacted on their tandem.

"You two were remarkable partners, right Wilma?" Akasha smiled genuinely at their pairing. She could see the glows around them.

"Yeah, they could already think what they had to do." Wilma agreed as she was already feeling proud about what Gwen was turning into. It was a surprising but promising one.

"Thanks to my girlfriend, I could easily plan things with her input and the team loves working with her." Slavica smirked proudly and made Gwen pinch her side.

"Maybe because of my adoptive parents. So, kindly excuse us. We're going to prepare for our departure tomorrow." She was being humble and respectful as she excused themselves to their elderly.

When the couple was done and out of the perimeter of the DIP Clinic, Akasha smirked as she patted Wilma's back gently.

"You really saw something in them." Akasha commented and Wilma sighed while nodding.

"Actually, I didn't see that Gwen will have this kind of effect on Slavica. I knew they were going to be mates but I didn't see this coming…whatever the highest heaven bestow upon their relationship, it was something any magical entities or supernatural things will be a hindrance on that." but she clearly thinks to her about certain things that she didn't expect on happening between the two chosen ones.

"They're not just chosen but they were blessed." Akasha understood what she was saying and hoped that the young couple will stay together forever.

Meanwhile, in the couple's room, Gwen was already taking her shower while Slavica was preparing the things that they will bring with them. It was light as as possible. But when Gwen came out from the bathroom, she was only covering herself with a towel and partially still wet.

"Vica, can you get me my set of clothing on the bed? I forget to get it…why you're staring at me like that?" Gwen said while she looked over the mirror to get something off from her eyes when she noticed Slavica staring too much at her.

"Ahmm…nothing…okay…" Slavica stuttered as she snapped from her thoughts and grabbed Gwen's clothing on the bed.

But Gwen smirked at her reaction and just teased her lover by accidentally letting the towel drop on the floor. By then, Slavica turned and she dropped Gwen's clothing on the floor. She openly ogled the beautiful creature before her. Gwen noticed that and was about to stop but the heated gaze that Slavica openly sent her way was making her nervous all of a sudden.

"Vica…quit staring like that…" Gwen started to feel hot and bothered because she never felt like that to anyone. Not at all.

"Ahm…s-sorry…I…" Slavica shook her head as she snapped from staring and grabbed her lover's clothing again before approaching her.

"But aren't you going to touch me since I'm already teasing you?" Gwen asked as she turned around not minding being nude in front of her girlfriend with crossed arms.

"I know that you do but…here's your clothes…" Slavica sighed as she slightly giggle from it and handed Gwen's clothing.

"Love, what's stopping you from touching me when I'm seducing you like this?" she still wanted to know because if it was others they were already ended up doing it but not with Slavica.

"Sabina…Gwen, I'm always seduced by you and might be openly staring at you like this since I really want to do it with you but I won't touch you. It's not because you're not attracted or whatever you might be thinking about my reason for not touching you…but trust me when I say that I don't want to touch you out of being seduced, horny, lustful, or just wanting to have sex with you. I'd rather make love to you thoroughly and respect you in every possible way that I could give..." Slavica sincerely explained to her girlfriend her real reason for not taking advantage of the heated lust that they were feeling at the moment. Slavica must control herself because she wanted Gwen to have her first meaningful and not just for playtime or one time only.

"Vica…" Gwen was starting to cry at how much control and respect Slavica was pulling within her. It was making her love her more.

"Plus, a quickie won't do us good. We're going to crave for more if we don't savor our first together." She winked at her lover and when she was about to step away, Gwen stopped her by holding her wrist.

"But I'm ready to be one with you…" she honestly told Slavica what she was feeling at the moment. Slavica faced her once again fully and cupped her face before leaning closer but instead of kissing her lips, Saliva kissed her forehead very dearly. Then she rested her forehead against hers for a moment before looking back at her eyes.

"Then marry me." Slavica smiled with her raw voice as if she was pleading to Gwen.
