opening her eyes. “I’m not sure I want to leave now and it’s exactly because of what happened today.”
“I don’t understand,” Storm Kar said.
“When that creature attacked us, the, what did you call it, the Tragger, I was so scared.”
“That is to be expected,” he replied. “Traggers are savage beasts that inhabit the fringes of the Mystic Folk territory. I dread to think what would have happened if I hadn’t got to you in time.”
“I wasn’t frightened of the Tragger,” Simone said. “I was frightened of you.”
She felt him sit up. “What?”
“When you fought that beast, you were so ferocious, so powerful, it scared me,” Simone went on. “It scared me that someone else could care about me that much to risk their life like that. I thought Dean would be the only man who could love me so intensely and now I realize you do to, and that terrifies me.”
“I want only to look after you,” Storm Kar said.
She turned and faced him. “Until today, I wouldn’t have believed that, but everything has changed. I realized how much I’ve missed out on by holding onto Dean’s memory. I want to move on, and live again.”
He reached down and stroked her face. “With me?” he asked, hopeful.
“Perhaps,” she said carefully. “I don’t regret what we’ve done, but I don’t know if we can take it further. I don’t want to lose you like I did Dean. I couldn’t stand that.”
He settled down and hugged her tightly. “I’ll never leave you,” he whispered in her ear. “I understand you need time. Whatever you decide, I will always love you.”
She held him to her and pressed her face into his shoulder. At that moment, she just wanted to be in his arms. As she listened to the rain that was still falling outside, she had no idea whether she would feel the same in the cold light of day.
Chapter 7: An Act Of Sacrifice
The rains did not abate the next day. They continued for most of the week and Storm Kar had to oversee the repair and maintenance of the flood defences to protect the crops of the Mystic Folk.
During this period, he and Simone slipped into something of a blissful domestic routine. While he was away in the daytime, she would help out with chores and at Grazing Elk Woman’s request, she began teaching the children about Earth and its customs.
Now that the Mystic Folk believed that she had become Storm Kar’s mate, they were very friendly and embracing, and each night when Storm Kar returned from his duties, they made love and enjoyed each other’s company. He had softened his stern exterior and seemed genuinely happy spending time with her. He said he loved her and she believed him.
The question was: did Simone love him? She certainly enjoyed being with him and had found she connected to him on an emotional level, but she could not be truly certain she loved him, not in the way she loved Dean. Storm Kar said that he didn’t care, that just being with her was enough for him, but she felt that she was being unfair to him.
She wanted to give all of herself to him the way he had pledged himself to her, but doing that felt like a betrayal to her first true love. She feared that by accepting Storm Kar, she was erasing the memory of Dean forever.
As the time drew closer for her to make her decision on whether she stayed or returned to Earth, her mind roiled with confusion. She now loved the Vision Land, but Earth was her home, where her life was, much as it was, to turn away from it would be a massive step.
One evening though, something happened to make her mind up without question. Storm Kar had not returned from his duties at the usual time, and feeling restless, Simone decided to go look for him.
She headed to the lower chambers beneath the citadel to where Storm Kar kept his laboratory. She rarely came here as he preferred to keep his work private and Simone
