Manhunter Revelations (15 page)

I took this time to stop, think and reflect
on all that has happened to this point. My life prior to this had
been pretty much normal. Tracking down bad guys, correction, human
bad guys and bringing them in for justice. Legends of monsters had
been just that. Legends. In fact I have not even thought of such
things since I was a young boy in school, and watched those type of
vids on the vid comm. Plus the vids were just a ploy I used to get
closer to the girls I took to see them. So the revelation that such
creatures really existed was a little too much to believe. Yet I
couldn't discount the creature I had come up against today. Next
was the realization that another race of people, correction again,
two different races of people other than humans existed. There was
no mistaking the alien beauty of the Muraii women. I or anyone else
would have to be completely dense to not see there was something
truly different about them. Taking into account the freaky powers
they have shown, I still wasn't completely convinced they were not
human. Maybe they were some type of advance human offshoot. I don't
know but I intended to look into that matter some more after the
immediate problem was dealt with. I hate to admit this, but with
all of the already mentioned weirdness, the one that bothered me
the most was the fact that my father was The King of the monsters
of legends. My mother. She was some type of Super Good Spiritual
Being. How in hell was a man supposed to deal with that. The fact
that my mother and uncle, both kept this info from me hurt. I mean
really hurt. I had, with no reservations trusted both of them
implicitly. To find out that they had both kept this info from me
just plainly hurt. It was a matter I fully intended to discuss with
my mother as soon as I could. All in all this was just a lot of
weirdness to absorb at one time, but absorb it I must if I intended
to stop this creature and survive during the process. My hunter's
instincts for no reason I could see was screaming at me that
something wasn't quite right. That usually means I am missing
something important, that I should be seeing. I guess the events of
late has thrown my instincts out of wack. I wasn't going to get any
more insight into things thinking. I needed to see and experience
the village to try and get a feel for what I was missing. I put on
my gear, including both my .40C and .44C pistols. The creature has
shown it can take a lot of damage and still remain functional. In
our next meeting I fully intended to change that.

It was around nine thirty pm when I left the
hut, and the streets were pretty much deserted. Only a few men were
seen to be moving about, and it was obvious they had a destination
in mind. There were a lot of Major Hennings men visible on patrol
around the village. They all had been fully briefed on my arrival,
so I wasn't stopped by any of the patrols. Although there were no
one on the streets except the occasional team of soldiers, with the
fairy tale streetlights lit, the village had a ghostly dreamlike
look to it. As I walked around I was simply amazed that such a
beautiful village could be conceived and built by anyone. There is
no way to fully described how beautiful every house, street, tree,
garden was. Everything blended together in such a way to take your
breath away. This creature was guilty of more than just rape and
murder. It was also guilty of destroying what had to be one of the
most beautiful places I had ever seen. It took me a few hours to
explore most of the village, but nothing revealed itself to me
outside of the forlorn empty feeling of a place of extreme beauty.
It was almost one am but I decided to check in at the pavilion hall
before I turned in for the night. When I got close, I saw the
extent of the protection around the hall. Major Hennings men was
geared with the latest in lethal firepower and detection equipment
and had double stacked the perimeter defenses around the hall. As I
approached down the main street, I was stopped by a three-man
patrol about a couple of hundred yards from the hall. I requested
to see the officer in charge at the hall. After calling my request
in, I was passed through. I passed four more patrols before I got
to the front door of the hall, where I was met by an officer.

"Mr. Conrad, I'm Lt. Forne. I was briefed on
your arrival here. How can I help you"

"I was just walking the village trying to get
a feel for the place, and decided to check in here before turning
in. Everything appears to be okay here"

"Yes it is. Since we put this plan in place
there have been no more attacks"

"I noticed the intensive patrols around the
village. What type of setup do you have inside?"

"Inside each of the buildings, small foyers
have been setup for individual family members to afford them some
privacy. There are multiple patrols inside the hallways around the
main halls of each building, with dual stationary and roving
patrols around the perimeter of all the buildings themselves"

"Wasn't the net your men had around the
village as intensive?"

"Yes it was, both inside the village and
around the perimeter. We still cannot understand how the creature
got passed our patrols. Major Hennings has explained your job
duties to us, yet do you really believe you will have more luck
tracking this creature than we have had?"

"I have a few tricks up my sleeve. We will
see if they are enough"

With that I shook the Lt.'s hand and left. As
I walked back to my hut, I mulled over the info the Lt.had given
me. Both patrol styles were the same, yet the creature had gotten
passed them when the woman were still sleeping in their own homes.
It hasn't yet been able to get inside the convention hall or other
buildings where the women were now sleeping. Why? Did it even
try?

As I approached my hut, I suddenly felt I
wasn't alone. I stopped about dozen feet from the door, looked
around me, but I saw no one. Still feeling someone else's presence
I stood still for another few minutes and tried to find where the
presence I felt was. Finally the presence started to feel familiar,
and then I figured out where it was. I slowly approached my door.
One of the unique features of the village housing is the lack of a
need to put locks on one's door. Apparently home break ins and
burglaries was an unknown occurrence here, yet they had a sheriff
with deputies. Curious. Opening my door slowly, I quickly stepped
in and to the side. I had left the lights off when I left, but the
ones to either side of my bed was on, at the lowest setting. Since
the windows had darken to where no one could see in I didn't see
the lights on from the outside. I knew I would see clearly in the
dark when I entered, and thus would see whoever was in my hut, when
they probably thought I would be night blind.

"I did not expect to be shot for wanting to
give you a night of pleasure"

When I had stepped into my room I immediately
spotted the woman reposed on my bed. Imagine a fantasy dream where
there is a totally beautiful alien woman on your bed under the most
imaginable romantic lighting, then you have some idea on what I
saw.

"So are you going to shoot me or not?"

"Sessa, what are you doing here?

"Right now I'm lying here wondering if you
want to shoot me instead of making love to me"

As a precaution, I had drawn my .40C before I
had entered my room. Now I felt very

stupid standing there with my weapon out and
a totally beautiful alien woman lying

on my bed stating she wants to make love to
me. Combine that with the already enhanced sexual attraction these
women had on human men, even after drinking the elixir, you can
well see the internal turmoil I was going through. Make love to
her? Hell yes I wanted to make love to her. All during the
afternoon while working with her on the info I requested, I was in
a state of immense sexual attraction for her, and that is a vast
understatement on how I felt. It appeared the longer I was with her
the stronger the attraction became. It got so bad, I had to
formulate an excuse to get away from her. Later while being briefed
by Major Hennings, he noticed I appeared to be under some type of
stress. When he asked me what was wrong, I asked him about the
effectiveness of the elixir.

"I thought the elixir I drunk was supposed to
reduce the attraction of the Muraii women. All during this
afternoon, I felt the attraction getting stronger by the minute. I
did notice however that you and your men appear to be unaffected.
Any idea why it isn't working on me?

Major Henning looked at me in a funny way for
a few seconds before bursting out laughing.

"I'm sorry for laughing, but I keep
forgetting this is your first time being exposed to the Muraii
women. There is nothing wrong with the elixir. The reason your
libido is working in overdrive is that Sessa wants you, and is
sending that want to you via her Eurola powers for want of a better
term. Watch out. What these women want, they always get" and with
that he burst out laughing again. The rest of the afternoon was
spent reviewing the data, and dealing with Hennings comic remarks
on the future of my health once Sessa got through with me. When I
left him for the evening he was still laughing. So you can see I
knew something was up with her, I was just not expecting such
forwardness from her.

"You have been exerting you powers on me all
day, haven't you?

"Yes and I must say I was stunned that you
were able to resist me. No human has ever been able to resist a
Muraiin woman once she has exerted her influence on him, yet you
did. I was more determined then ever to have you hence my presence
here now. I must admit I was somewhat disappointed when I arrived
and found you gone. I have been in a state of extreme emotional
distress waiting for you to return”

Man if she just knew how much she had messed
me up. I wasn't telling though. I needed to retain some dignity
here.

"Don't your people have some type of code
about fraternizing with the hired help. It can conceivably effect
the outcome of the investigation"

"I think not."

It was at this point that I decided that
enough talking had been done. I holstered my pistol, and started
removing my gear, all the time still gazing at this beauty on my
bed. I could feel all my restraints and reservations dissolving
like ice in boiling water. I was totally unaware I was removing my
clothing as I slowly approached the bed. I was also startled by her
reaction when I had removed all of my clothing. She abruptly sat up
in the bed and her eyes got very large. She appeared to be so
startled, I stopped and asked her what was wrong.

"Look at you. You have an absolutely gorgeous
physique. I have never seen anyone in such a powerful state"

Her statement caught me off guard. I glanced
down at myself, but to me I had always been in excellent shape, so
I saw nothing out of the ordinary, but then the realization hit me
that maybe I was in better shape than most men, simply because I
had been working out since I was six years old due to my uncle
insistence. All these years had given me a body that was unique
compared to other men, but was normal to me. What Sessa saw was a
body whose muscles were like coiled steel cables. There appeared to
be absolutely no fat any where on the body. The chest was deep, but
not huge, with strong powerfully built shoulders and arms where the
muscles looked like cables wound tight to bursting. The abs had a
six-pack that looked as if it could take a hit from anything and
not be dented. The legs were bundles of coiled powerful muscles,
yet the overall appearance was of a man that was slim, yet
immensely powerful. Sessa's voice when she now spoke was much
deeper and husky.

"Come to me please. I intend to fully enjoy
you"

The words were spoken like an invocation to
me because the next thing I knew I was over her and in her arms.
When we kissed, the passion was almost more than I could bear as a
hot fire erupted within me and the need to have her was unlike
anything I had ever experienced before, and it appeared I wasn't
the only one. Sessa let out such a moan of pleasure I had never
expected to hear from any woman. She gripped me so hard I was
momentarily stunned as to her strength. I don't know what happened
to the gown she had on when I entered, but as I pushed her down on
the bed, revealed to me was one of the most beautifully sensuous
womanly body I could ever imagine, alien or human. Her legs were
beautifully toned with muscles, but slim like a gymnast. Her
stomach was very toned with it's own six-pack. Her arms and
shoulders were also nicely toned with muscle, and her breasts were
medium sized but very firm. There was no doubt after seeing her
naked that she was a warrior out to kill monsters. She was built
for combat. As I slipped into her, we both cried out in animal
ecstasy and the rest of the night was a state of unimaginable
animal pleasure.

Chapter Six: Exploratory Hunt

I awoke early the next morning. I had the
previous night arranged with Major Hennings to use a MATV to
explore the area around the village. At first he was very reluctant
to let me go out alone as too many of his men and the sheriff's
deputies had been killed in the woods while tracking this creature.
I explained to him though that my methods of tracking precluded
anyone else accompanying me and since he had previous knowledge of
my tracking methods, he relented although I could see he was not
very happy about it. I showered and got dressed but before leaving
the cottage, I again looked at Sessa still sleeping on the bed and
was again struck with how unbelievably beautiful she and the other
woman of her race were. It was, to be blunt, very unnerving,
especially knowing how easily they could influence human males and
going from Yolanda's reaction to Sessa during the office meeting,
females was also at risk with Muraiin males. Resisting the powerful
urge to go back to bed and make love to her again, I donned my
weapons and gear and forced myself to leave. Across the court from
the cottage, Hennings stood leaning against a lamppost waiting for
me. As I approached him I could see he was under the immense strain
of trying not to laugh.
