Chapter 22: 4. Jackly Eisner
Another month has passed by. It's time again for Sheri to go out. Sheri didn't bother exploring the forest
due to the unknown beast. Her mission is to stay alive, so she doesn't go and wander unless like right
now she needs to hunt and gather some vegetables. If staying in the cave makes her alive then let her
be a coward.
On the other hand, the whole months she's not slacking of getting her body strong. She never idles due
to the world she's in is dangerous.
While thinking of her situation. She prepares everything as usual and went cautiously outside the cave. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
After gathering some fruits and plants, she set up again another trap. She climbs above the tree waiting
for her trap to catch something.
While waiting, she heard below a roar. She looked down and immediately hides between the branches.
A leopard and a tiger can be seen they, hiss and growl toward each other. The leopard was protecting
the one he or she hunts and the tiger wants it.
"Give or you're dead." the tiger said while growling.
"No, I hunt it first, go and look for your own food," growl the leopard.
Sheri saw and was amazed at how big those creatures were. Both were 3 times larger than the
ordinary animal.
Sheri was trying to listen, and she finds it odd that they were talking in an unfamiliar language. While
looking down the Tiger starts to be very aggressive toward the leopard.
"So be it then." The tiger growls. He instantly jumped toward the leopard and start targeting the neck of
the leopard. The leopard was also trying to defend herself. After a fierce battle, the leopard was injured,
and the tiger gets the price. The tiger went away with the prey leaving the injured leopard behind.
Sheri was sweating and her heart is pounding very loud while looking at the two fights. It was a fierce
battle and very dangerous.
The moment the leopard was injured and falls on the ground, she shifted to human-like and become a
woman. She has long white hair and a white tail with black spots. Sheri was surprised to witness the
transformation. But something is odd why is that the female leopard stomach is big and it was in
tremendous pain. Sheri can see blood is oozing in her neck. She was at first hesitant to go down but
when she saw how the woman struggles to stand up and tried to move but at the same time cannot get
up. She took pity and jump down.
Sheri knows an injured leopard can't harm her. So she jumped down from the tree. The injured leopard
looked at her, and on the verge of crying. Sheri can see her pain and it seems she's losing her life
anytime soon.
"Help me, my baby please save my baby." the leopard was asking Sheri. The leopard didn't growl nor
get angry when she saw Sheri walking toward her. She can smell that the woman who approached her
is not dangerous.
Sheri doesn't understand what she is saying but looking at her, it seems she's trying to give birth.
"Please help." The leopard woman pants while talking.
With instinct, Sheri approached the female leopard and went to see between her legs. A small head is
coming out.
"Damn" Sheri curses and was in a panic.
She brings out her first aid kit and some clean blanket and some water. She doesn't care if the leopard
recognizes it or not, it's important that the life of both of the mother and the child must be saved. All the
consequence in Sheri's mind to help the unknown creature were thrown away.
The female leopard was groaning in agony while giving a push. She aggressively pushed and a baby
leopard came out. Sheri immediately catches the baby, cut the umbilical cord, and wraps it with a thick
blanket, and again she pushed. Sheri caught another baby, cut the umbilical cord again, and wraps it
with a blanket. The female leopard was sweating and panting slowly. While Sheri has no time to think.
Sheri was amazed that the body she's in has a profound knowledge when helping a woman to give
birth. While cleaning the babies in Sheri's'hand the Leopard softly speak.
"Please take good care of my baby." The female leopard in between terrible pains begs Sheri.
Sheri looked at the two human leopards babies who are crying and looked at the female leopard. Sheri
can't understand what she's saying, but she moved fast. Sheri knows she has to give the first aid to the
mother.
She secures the two babies near to their mother and promptly does the first aid toward the female
leopard. She gives her the dextrose to replenish the water she lost and directly gives her a sleeping
shot to alleviate the pain. She sutures her wound in her neck. It's a little deep the cut, but with the help
of the advanced medical instrument she has, she was able to stop the bleeding. She wrapped the neck
with gauze and after handling the female leopard she starts cleaning the two babies. The two cubs
were crying, and she doesn't know what to do. The mother is injured she can't give them milk.
While sweating, she hears a rasping cough nearby. Sheri knows that's a leopard rasping cough is
calling for its mate. She left the two cubs on their mother's side wrapped in a thick blanket. Before
leaving, she injects an antibiotic into the female leopard to not have any infection. Due to her injury and
medicine. The leopard woman sleep. Sheri also hurriedly put down the babies next to their mother, and
then she climbed back toward the tree.
She doesn't know if the medicine will have an effect on her, but she's crossing her finger.
After a few minutes, a big leopard found the female leopard and immediately transformed into a man.
Follow by another 4 big leopards, and they all transformed into men. The other leopard who came first
looked at the female leopard and gradually approached it. Sheri can see the anxiousness of the man.
On the tree, Sheri was sweating while looking at those 5 burly men. They are all tall and robust. They
are taller than the ones she saw a while ago. The female leopard is already big when she transformed
but the men are much bigger than the female leopard. Sheri was thinking no matter how good she is at
fighting she can't fight them all.
"Aurora" his almost choking voice while approaching the female leopard. He was so anxious his mate
was injured. He placed his finger in her nose and a wash of relief came toward him. The rest of the
men were silent. When the two cubs start crying, all of them were on panic the big white hair man pick
them up and hold the two cubs, gently rocking them.
" Shh, little ones your mother is ok. Delo, we better go." The white hair guy said toward the man who is
kneeling beside the woman. Delo agrees, his mate is weak and it's risky especially if a tiger sees them.
He slowly carried the woman and all of them went away.
Sheri was relieved when the group of leopards is gone. Sheri was still dazed when she saw them. It
was a big difference in seeing them.
Sheri observed all that happened and didn't come out for a while. She didn't understand what they
were saying, but she figures it out they were the family of the female leopard. She descended the tree
after a few minutes and walked where she hid her trap. She was happy to see 4 grown rabbits inside.
She carried them and walk back toward the cave. 10 meters away from the cave she stops and makes
sure to remove her clothes and change into a different one. She gathers a grass nearby pound them
with a stone and smears them all over her body. No matter what she doesn't want they will find out
where she at.
