Chapter 21 - Jaclyn Eisner (2/2)
She brings out her first aid kit and some of the clean blanket and some water. She doesn't care if the leopard recognizes it or not, it's important the life of both of them the mother and the child.
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.
”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 toward 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 bit deep the cut but she can see with the help of the advanced 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 where 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 to the female leopard to not have any infection. 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.
A big leopard came toward 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. No matter how good she is in fighting she can't fight them all.
”Aurora” his almost chocking 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 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 found out where she at.
