Sheba Fear: The Detective ★

Characters

Sheba, Neko and oc's

Description

This story is a story I've been trying to write since the 7th grade. I hope it turns out

good.

Sheba was always told about the Night Hunters. 

Creatures that would feast on you blood as well as your soul.

Sometimes these creatures would even turn you, if they deemed you worthy.

What happens one night when Sheba is out past curfew and is cornered by one of these

creatures? 

Does she try to run or does she fight for her very soul?

Neko  is of royal blood and looking for a mate.

He came to this backwater planet in hopes of finding her.

Neko was always told of the stories of the great hunters and huntress of the plains.

Beautiful creatures that never showed their age and that were always ready to fight.

But what happens when he corners one of these creatures?

Does he feed off her or has he finally found his mate.

Foreword

 Sheba shot her arrow with the right amount of force and hit the bear dead on. She

watched as it ran through the woods and smiled cause it was heading right where she

wanted it too. Sheba gathered her stuff and jumped out of the tree. She ran along

following the blood trail the bear had left and found it with in a few minutes. It was still

alive, but couldn't move. She tied rope to its feet and pulled it so it hung from the tree.

Sheba then placed a barrel under the bear. She smiled as she took out her knife and

said the ancient chant to thank the spirits for the food. She then cut the bears throut .

She whistled for Gypsy her horse. The horse snorked at her and Sheba laughed as she

handed her a carrot for her being her partner. She skined the bear and left the bones.

Sheba hung the skull and other bones as was tradition. She said a prayer to the gods

and then put the other items on the cart that Gypsy hauled behind her. Little did she

know as she gave Gypsy the order to move, that she was being watched by one of the

Night Creatures that she was told to always fear.

Neko watched his prey and knew the route she would take back to her village. He smile

as he heard her cuss at the heavens. He had destroyed the bridge she needed to cross.

He smirked as he watched her follow the old path around and rubbed his hands 

together as he waited for the right time to attack her. But Neko never got his chance as

soon as she saw what the time was and she yelled for Gypsy to go into a dead run. He

followed and hoped she would flip the cart, but it never happened. The one the village

called BINYO, was able to get into the village with twenty minutes to spair. She told the

gatekeep why she was running alittle late and he said he'd send some works out in the

morning to fix the bridge.

They heard someone yell,"PLEASE HOLD THE GATES!" They guy just made it through.

He said,"Thank you so much. Bless the gods that I was able to get here in time and 

wasn't forced to spend another night hiding." He took his hood off and everyone

bowed. Everyone but Sheba that was. He smiled at her.

She nodded and said,"So how may my village help you?"

The stanger smiled and said as he bowed low,"My name is Neko. I'm a high priest at the

temple of the gods over in the eastern valley. I have traveled all this way to recruit new

priest and priestess for the temple."

She looked at him and said,"Oh very well. I will take you to our temple and you may stay

as long as you need to. Just don't cause any troubles."She and Gypsy walked off, leaving

the priest to follow and he did.

He smiled and said,"My eternal thanks to you my dear. I would be honored if you told

me your name?"

She thought about it and said,"My name is Sheba Ravenhawk Fear and I've been given 

the title Binyo, by my people. My father it the leader of this village and I'm the youngest

of thirteen children." He gasped at the number and she laughed as she said,"I'm also

the only girl child to be born to my family in the last hundred years. I have nothing but

brothers and everyone of them are married and have children."

He said,"Do you yourself wish to marry and have children?"

He saw the frown on her face as she said,"When I was alittle girl of no more than 15, I 

was attacked out on my first solo hunt. When my brothers found me, I was barly alive. 

The village shaman did all he could but told my parents that I would never bear

children."

He gulped as he asked,"Did they ever find out what attacked you?" He thought to

himself,'WHAT HAVE I DONE? IF SHE IS MY TRUE MATE, SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO

HAVE CHILDREN! I WILL HAVE TO KEEP A VERY CLOSE EYE ON HER. I MAY HAVE

TO INVITE HER BACK TO THE TEMPLE WITH ME.' 

She went pale as she said,"No they never found out cause I couldn't tell them. The

creature or whatever it was, attacked me from behind. They used my body like........."

She stopped and he asked,"Are you ok?"

She gulped and leaned against Gypsy and said,"I'll be fine. It's just a flash from that 

night. Anyways the temple is down that path." Points to the right and she walks to the

left path she whispers,"WHY IN THE GODS NAMES DID I TELL HIM THAT MUCH. WHO IN

THE NAME OF THE GODS IS THIS PRIEST?" 

She walked on and didn't see the evil smile on his face. He was now in her village and

could have her at any time he wished.
