I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 24: 6. Jaclyn Eisner



She starts roasting the meat. When the meat is prepared. She begins eating like there is no one beside her.

While eating, she, glance at him, and she saw he is looking at her with his folded arms sitting like a king. Sheri felt uncomfortable just looking at him.

Sheri twitches her corner of her mouth. She's a little irritated due to his looking straight at her. Making her not to eat comfortably. After a few minutes she put her plate down and stand up.

"Ahh for heaven's sake," Sheri said went inside her side of her tent where she put her foods. She grabbed a slice of big meat and start grilling. That meat was supposed to be eaten for half a month, but she can't stand that someone is looking at her while eating.

After she roasted the meat. She went and handed to him with a plate.

"Here, eat," Sheri said. When he didn't reply Sheri rolled her eyes. She made a signal to put it on his mouth.

Hunter raised his brow, He didn't receive it, so Sheri just put in front of him on the ground. When she's done eating, she went to her usual spot and grabs her mug of hot tea and slowly drink it. After an hour she's sleepy, so she went inside her tent. Hunter on the other side followed her.

She went to her bed and wraps her self with blankets and fall asleep not caring anymore what will happen toward her. If this mission is unsuccessful, she will still be able to go back to her own world, she will just deal with the consequence later on. It doesn't matter she will make sure in those months she will double her work and face whatever she has to face. For Sheri what is the use of being afraid? One way or another she can go back to her world.

When Sheri went to sleep Hunter observed her. He was checking out her place. Everything was foreign and unfamiliar to him. He quietly touched everything that she has. The tent, her clothes that are hanging, her shoes, the knife she has, even her underwear. After adequately fulfilling his mild curiosity, He stealthily approached the sleeping area of Sheri and sits down next to her watching the way she breathes evenly. Sheri tried her best to ignore his movement and ignore that he is sitting next to her. Her body is very sensitive when it comes to movement and noises At that time she really doesn't care. She tried her best to sleep and ignore everything.

Morning came, Sheri opened her eyes carefully. She instantly remembers the leopard man. She slowly goes outside peeking and checks if he's nonetheless there. She was ecstatic to see no one outside her tent and was cheerful, thinking to move out of that place and look for another cave, but She stops from her thought and remembers her second mission.

That is to locate where the pendant is.

She has to first talk to that man and asked if they saw a pendant and made a plan on how to befriend that poker face leopard man.

She was supposed to return to her tent when on her right side of her eye. She saw the plate she used to put the big lump of meat for him to eat empty. She smugly takes the plate and went inside and starts preparing her breakfast thinking that the leopard left for good. Its a good morning for her.

After a few minutes of preparing her morning breakfast, she starts eating. While eating, she perceived a movement on her back she looked back and was frozen. Her spoon stuck in her mouth. She saw Hunter carrying a big deer in his back and laid the deer in front of her. She looked at the deer and looked at Hunter with a perplexed looked.

"Exchange for the meat yesterday," explained Hunter. Sheri was shocked when he speaks her own language. He speaks eloquently fluent English.

"You, You understand me?" shockingly she asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Hunter proudly said.

Sheri merely dropped her spoon. This was not in this pathetic story. How was it possible?" System hello can I ask something?" Sheri speaks in her concerned mind but after a few minutes, no one answers her She sighs hopelessly.

"So all those odd times you understand me?" she asked again.

"hmm" acknowledge Hunter.

She stood up from her seat and faces him while folding her arms. She tilts her head toward him. He was still taller than her. "So tell me, who are you? And what do you want from me?" Sheri asked.

Hunter was not intimidated. "My name is Hunter. I am the leader of the Leopard race that you called. The woman you saved last time was my sister. I want to thank you." Hunter mildly said. She was surprised to see indeed that leopard is also white. "How is she?" She asked.

"She is fast recovering now. Thanks to you and your weird medicine." He said gratefully and sits down next to her seat. Her eyebrow twitches. "This leopard is starting to feel comfortable in her found cave." she thought. She sits down on her seat and continues to eat while looking at the dead deer in front of her.

"If you want to thank me, you better help me, I am looking for a pendant," Sheri said and draws on the ground the style of the pendant. "It's very important to me," she said.

"Hmm, ok we will help you but you better help us also." Hunter looked at her while she's eating the exotic fruits in her bowl.

"I already helped you, at least what you can do, is help me to look for that pendant." Sheri arrogantly said.

"I can hunt for you if you want and I will make sure you are protected here," Hunter bargain while looking at her.

Sheri was silent for a few minutes. Indeed, it's very hassling to keep on hunting and who knows what she will encounter in the near future.

"All right, deal." Sheri extends her hand.

Hunter just looked at her wondering. She just waves and pulled her hand. "They don't know what a handshake. Dumbass." Sheri scolds herself.

She stands up and grasps the knife at the side and starts preparing the deer. Hunter on the other side sits and observed her. Her skill in cutting is fast and accurate. he was not surprise since she was the one who injure his second in command subordinate. His subordinate is way taller and bigger than her. While looking at how skillful she is he felt a respect toward her rising from within him. Not bad for a woman to be that strong.

After she prepared the deer. She looked at him.

"So what help do you want me to do," she asked Hunter.

"Tell me first what is your name? And, What kind are you? Where did you learn to cut meat?" He asked nonstop.

"My name Jaclyn Eisner, I am human. I don't transform and am a soldier. It's like a warrior in your world. I take down bad guys in my world," She said truthfully.

Hunter was not shocked that she is a warrior. With the way she holds her knife, it already says who she is. He didn't take the wrong guest that this woman maybe can save his race from those Tigers. The first thing Hunter thought is if this woman is the same as the other woman in the tiger race. His race will be undoubtedly saved.

"So out of nowhere you suddenly appear on our land?" Hunter further asked. He was very interested on where the two women came from. He looked at her from head to toe. She never saw the wife of the tiger king, but he bet she might be in the same race as her. His next question is if she knew someone from her race came also in the world they are at.

"I have no clue actually." Sheri hides the facts that she knows that the female lead is also transported.

Hunter look at her and cannot see that she is lying.

"So do you know how did you arrive here?" Hunter further asked.

Sheri shakes her head.

"Interesting question. I don't know actually." Sheri didn't tell about the pendant that it's the one who bought Jacklyn on the world they are in.

Hunter can sense at that time, that she doesn't want to tell the whole story. He didn't ask further. He was thinking perhaps it has to do with the pendant that she is looking for.

He stops asking and just look at her on the way she prepares the meat that was recently hunt. On his mind his thinking one day she will eventually say it.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
