Heart Two Heart by Dyami Nukpana Read Free Book Online Page B

her and or hurt her because of what she
did to my mum when I was baby. Or two she was threatened by members
of my family and was afraid to come near me.
    Given that my eternal heart was the infamous
camazotz that supposedly preyed on skinwalkers only, I had a hard
time believing anyone or anything could frighten her. No my money
was on rejection. That made me smile since I could clear that issue
up with just a few words.
    I looked up and could tell more time had gone
by then I realised. I was betting the sun would come over the
mountains in the next few minutes. I looked down at my watch and
confirmed what my eyes had surmised. Then, I turned myself in a
slow circle one more time in the hopes of seeing my eternal heart.
She was not here and was still nowhere in sight.
    I felt a sinking sensation as I started to
believe that she wasn't coming. For some reason she either knew I
was here and didn't want to see me or something else prevented her
from coming. I took a deep breath and tried to steady my frantic
nerves.
    I had to decide to stay and get trapped in
the sun or leave now and most likely make it back to the hotel with
minimal sun damage. Returning to the hotel was my best bet. I could
get a hold of Pau and try to find Tiana another way.
    I was just about to start running back
towards Vegas when I saw the sand cloud stir. My heart stopped for
just a second as I waited to see if my eternal heart was coming. I
blinked several times to clear the sand that had stung my eyes and
was more than disappointed when I realised it was not my eternal
heart approaching.
    In fact the lone figure approaching me from
the north was clearly a large male. I took a deep sniff and
identified him as skinwalker. Before I could wonder much more
several more males appeared behind him. He was moving fast and it
appeared directly towards me. I heard a noise and slowly turned and
noticed several more people approaching me from multiple
directions. I mumbled several four letter words to myself then
prepared for what I was sure was going to be a fight.
    I wasn't sure why my eternal heart wasn't
here, but I would bet these skinwalkers expected her to be here.
They looked like they were itching for a fight and more than likely
they expected to find the camazotz not me. Up until that point in
time I’d been disappointed that Tiana had chosen not to show. Now,
however I was glad that it was just me here to face the
skinwalkers. I was definitely grateful that my Pau sent me
here.
    My inner animals starting rambling questions
at me like: What if Tiana had been here without us? How did Pau
know she was going to be here? How did the skinwalkers know she was
going to be here? Why are they after her anyway?
    These were all great questions, but ones I
had no answers for. I glanced at the skinwalker tribe that was
quickly surrounding me. At least I could look on the bright side;
chances are I will survive this battle. Hell, I might even be
invincible like other nagual around the world. Even if I not
though, I am strong and I have several animals to choose from. I
can even partially mutate if I chose. Each part of my body
representing each of my totem animals; crow, jaguar and coyote.
    I squinted up at the sky and again I sighed.
I felt bad since I was a healer not a killer but there would be at
least three bad things coming out of this. One, I would have to
kill skinwalkers that I had no real problem with and two when this
fight was over there was no doubt I was going to be sun sick. And
finally number three, I was going to have to call my mum and pop
and ask them to come out here and get me.
    "Relax; we don't want to hurt you. We came
for the camazotz. We were told not to harm you. Can you tell us
where she is?"
    I had to assume the one that was yelling
questions at me was the chief. I looked him over trying to decide
if I could talk this out with him or if it was still likely to
become a fight. I found it odd that he knew I would be here. So
much about this
