Eve’s Home – Morning
Eve went to sleep fitfully that night, thoughts of Adam a persistent, unwelcome guest in the quiet of her mind. She tried very hard not to think of him, to push his massive, infuriating presence from her thoughts, but it was like trying to hold back the tide. Talking with him, interacting with him, having a companion intelligent enough for her to converse with—it had meant more to her than she’d realized until the moment it was gone. The sudden, jarring silence he left behind was a new kind of pain.
And losing that connection so soon after making it ... It would have been one thing if he had simply died. Even though Adam thought she was soft, she had seen plenty of death during her time in the jungle. It was a familiar, sad ache, the simple, brutal finality of this world. But this was different. He simply hated her, and that was a wound far more acute.
She considered going to find him. She was a skilled tracker; she had to be, following the herds to the best feeding grounds and avoiding the territories of the great predators. But then she imagined his reaction. He would be angry. Even if she offered a sincere apology, he would likely still be angry, his pride a wall she couldn’t begin to scale. Of course, a part of her raged that he was the one who should apologize to her, especially after what he’d said about letting her die. The words echoed in the hollow of her heart, a cruel, cold curse.
But as she lay in the dark, the anger receded, replaced by a weary clarity. In his mind, he was the injured party. She had hit him when he never intended her any harm. She realized now that he wasn’t trying to hurt her with his words. He was just expressing his worldview, not necessarily condemning her for her own. He wasn’t trying to be mean. It was just the way he was. She decided that if she ever saw him again, she would at least apologize for hitting him, but beyond that, he would get nothing from her. Not even a ‘thank you’ for saving her life, which he clearly only did because he wanted something from her.
She didn’t know exactly what it was he wanted, but he obviously wanted something, or else he wouldn’t have followed her around so long. Then again, maybe he wanted the same thing from her that she wanted from him the first moment she saw him. Companionship. But a deeper sort of companionship than what she shared with her pets. Something that went far deeper ... something that made her body swell with a strange, aching pleasure whenever she looked over his powerful form.
She shook her head, trying to dislodge the thought. Knowing him, he’d call such desires silly and mock her for being an overly emotional fool again. Adam had made it clear that he had no desire for friendship. Even that pet sabretooth tiger of his was more of a hunting partner than a friend. With that ... that irritating, stubborn man, everything was transactional. It was so different from her own way of thinking. It was infuriating and fascinating, and she wished she could just forget the whole thing and move on with her life.
As the first grey light of dawn began to seep through the canopy, filtering through the glowing fungi and casting long, shifting shadows, Eve sat up in her moss bed, stretching languidly.
Her body was heavy with a sleepless night, her mind a theater of their fight, replaying every interaction on an endless loop. She remembered his primal strength when he tore those dinosaurs apart, the shocking power it took to split that rock in half. She remembered the wild fall of his long, thick, red hair, the smooth, handsome planes of his face, his piercing red eyes. Why, she wondered with a fresh wave of frustration, did a creature that aggravating have to have eyes so beautiful?
Her friends soon showed up, Nutty and Squeaky and Tiny, their chittering a desperate plea for attention as they scurried around her. She played with them idly, stroking their soft fur, their whiskers tickling her fingers, but she couldn’t muster much enthusiasm for them today. Their simple, uncomplicated affection felt hollow.
Eve decided that there was nothing for it. So, she had finally met another member of her species, and he was a violent, bad-tempered brute who wanted nothing to do with her. She supposed the only thing she could do was go about her business, to fall back into the rhythms of her solitary life. Eve got up, shaking the damp morning air from her limbs as she set out for her day, the familiar tasks of survival awaiting her like a welcome, empty friend.
Later That Morning...
Eve went about her normal routine, her movements a practiced, silent ballet in the waking jungle. The air was thick and humid, carrying the sweet, fermenting scent of ripe fruit and the loamy perfume of the damp earth. She gathered her breakfast, moving from vine to bush, her eyes scanning for the vibrant colors of berries and the swollen shapes of fruits she knew to be safe. Through careful trial and error—errors that had nearly cost her her life—and by watching the cautious patterns of smaller animals, she had built a mental library of the jungle’s pantry. She knew which plants offered sustenance, which were merely fibrous and tasteless, and which were a quick, agonizing death.
She remembered one horrific mistake with a cluster of glossy, purple berries. They had looked so inviting, so plump and juicy. Within minutes of eating them, her stomach had twisted into a fiery, knotted mass. A cold sweat had broken out over her skin, and the world had begun to spin, the vibrant greens and browns of the jungle melting into a nauseating swirl. She had collapsed, her body wracked with tremors, a sharp, metallic taste flooding her mouth. Every muscle had screamed, and a profound weakness had settled over her, a heavy blanket that made her wish for the swift finality of a predator’s jaws rather than this slow, self-inflicted poisoning. Thankfully, just like the gashes on her skin, the sickness had eventually receded, her body purging the toxins with the same relentless efficiency it healed its wounds.
As the day wore on, the sun climbing higher and baking the canopy, Eve’s sharp senses began to pick up a disturbance. It was a subtle change at first, a wrongness in the usual rhythm of the jungle. The chirping of birds had ceased. The chatter of monkeys was absent. A low, deep, guttural rumbling vibrated through the soles of her feet, a sound of immense weight and coordinated movement.
She immediately dropped into a stealthy stance, her body going fluid and silent. She melted into the underbrush, her movements so practiced she barely rustled a leaf, her eyes and ears straining to identify the threat.
With an effortless, flowing grace, she scaled the thick trunk of a nearby ironwood tree, her fingers and toes finding invisible holds in the bark. From her perch, concealed by a canopy of broad, waxy leaves, she finally saw the source of the commotion. It was a tribe of apes. They were not the small, chattering creatures she sometimes saw at a distance; these were large, burly brutes, their hides the color of storm clouds, their chests broad and corded with muscle. Each one was as big as Adam, if not bigger, their frames thick with primal power and edged with the formidable aggression of a dominant species. Their eyes, small and intelligent in a brutish way, held a cunning she recognized. They were powerful, but they lacked the cold, calculating intelligence that burned in Adam’s gaze. She wondered how they would fare against him. Considering she had seen these very apes turn and flee from a pack of Deinonychus—creatures Adam had dismantled with terrifying ease—she imagined they wouldn’t last very long in a direct confrontation.
However, she noticed with a growing unease that there were far more of them than usual. Many more. This was not just one troop; it was several, amalgamating into a single, massive force. They were increasing their numbers, a defensive tactic, she reasoned, to protect themselves against the dinosaurs who were fiercer and better-armed. There were so many of them now, a sea of hulking grey bodies moving with a single, unified purpose, that she wondered if even Adam could defeat them all.
Moving with the silent, ghostly grace that was her birthright, Eve began to retreat. She jumped from tree to tree, a phantom in the canopy, her movements perfectly timed to the rustle of the wind through the leaves, until the rumbling of the ape horde was a distant sound behind her.
After a while, figuring she was safely out of danger, she allowed herself to relax. She started snacking again on any berries she could find, the sweet, tart taste a welcome distraction. But her mind, now unoccupied, drifted back to Adam. She thought about his boast that he killed for his meals. Was that why he was so strong? Did consuming the flesh of powerful predators infuse the body with their strength? Or was it simpler than that? Was he just stronger because he was a male, and she was a female? The question gnawed at her, an intellectual puzzle amidst the swirl of her emotions.
As her thoughts deepened, she almost didn’t notice the shadow that blotted out the sun. A massive shape passed overhead, its wingspan wide enough to darken the entire clearing. She looked up just in time to see a giant pterodactyl, its leathery wings beating the air with powerful, rhythmic strokes, diving for her. Its claws, huge, black, and as sharp as obsidian daggers, were outstretched.
Eve yelped, a sound swallowed by the creature’s screeching cry, and she dropped to the branch, ducking low. It wasn’t enough. The claws still raked across her back, a line of fire that tore through her skin, leaving deep, searing cuts in their wake.
She gasped in agony, but she didn’t have time to dwell on the pain. The beast wheeled in the sky, its beak, a long, wicked spike, stabbing at her from above.
Eve bolted. She darted from tree to tree with an agility born of pure desperation, her body a blur of motion as the flying reptile gave chase. It squawked, a harsh, grating sound that echoed through the jungle, its huge, powerful wings buffeting the air with every flap, making it harder for her to keep her balance. She pushed herself to her limit, her lungs burning, her back screaming in protest.
Unfortunately, the pterodactyl was faster. It managed to get in front of her, banking sharply to cut off her escape route. She screamed, scrambling back along the branch, her eyes wild with terror. Her hand closed around something hard and round—a coconut. With a desperate cry, she hurled it at the creature. The heavy nut struck the side of its head with a solid thwack, dazing it. She threw another, and another, her frantic efforts slowing the beast as it took several hits to the head. But it was still coming. It lunged forward, its beak stabbing down and sinking deep into the meat of her shoulder.
Eve cried out, clutching the new wound as blood welled up between her fingers. The predator shook its head to clear it, then squawked in fury, coming in for the kill.
Then, out of nowhere, a rock the size of her fist nailed the beast right in the temple. There was a sickening crunch. The pterodactyl’s screech cut off abruptly. Its wings went limp, and it plummeted from the sky, hitting the forest floor with a heavy, final thud.
Eve’s heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic drumbeat of terror and disbelief. She looked around, trying to find the source of the missile that had saved her, but saw nothing. The jungle was silent once more. She looked down at the forest floor and realized the flying dinosaur was dead, its neck twisted at an unnatural angle.
Unwilling to push her luck, her body a symphony of pain, Eve jumped to the forest floor and darted away, not stopping as she headed for the safety of home.
Back in the perceived safety of her tree, Eve tended to her wounds with a familiar, practiced routine. The sharp, medicinal scent of the crushed shadow-leaf filled the small, glowing space as she worked the poultice into the gashes on her back and shoulder. She grimaced, the herbal sting a searing fire that brought tears to her eyes. Her pets, sensing her distress, squeaked in alarm, their small furry bodies a comforting, buzzing presence as they crowded around her. She gently stroked their backs with her uninjured hand, her touch a silent reassurance that she was alright.
Just as the thought of the life-saving rock returned to her mind—a mystery she was too exhausted and pained to solve—she heard a noise. It was a sound she now knew to dread: the familiar, deep-chested hooting and aggressive grunting of the apes. Her blood ran cold. Eve peeked carefully over the side of her leafy perch. Below, a scouting party of the massive brutes was moving through her tranquil grove. There were maybe a dozen of them, their forms grotesque in the dappled light.
They looked meaner and scarier than before, their eyes narrowed with predatory focus as they grunted and sniffed the air, their brute force causing a mess of her otherwise orderly corner of the jungle. They snapped branches underfoot and trampled her carefully arranged flower beds.
Then, they caught sight of a giant ground sloth sleeping nearby, a docile, harmless creature. Without hesitation, as if by unspoken command, they descended on it. There was no challenge, no posturing, only a sudden, explosion of coordinated violence. They pummeled the defenseless animal with their massive fists, the dull, wet thuds of the assault echoing up to Eve’s hiding place. It was over in moments. The sloth lay still, its body a broken, bloody mess.
Eve flinched, her stomach turning at the sheer, senseless cruelty of it. She realized with a cold certainty that she would soon be next. She looked around her small nest, her heart aching with despair. She didn’t want to abandon her home. She couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her pets. Surely the apes would kill them for sport as soon as they got hold of them. Could she take them with her? Would they even go? They had never left this part of the forest, this small, safe haven she had built for them.
Just as she was frantically considering her options, one of the apes let out a loud, sharp howl. It was pointing up, its long arm gesturing directly at her tree, getting the attention of the others. Eve’s heart sank as they turned their malevolent gazes toward her and began to approach, their knuckles dragging on the ground.
Then, a pale shape with a wild shock of red hair leaped from the foliage of some nearby trees and landed with a ground-shaking thud, barring the path of the apes. Eve gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. It was Adam. He stood to his full, imposing height, every muscle coiled and ready.
He growled, a low, guttural sound that promised unimaginable violence, his intent crystal clear. The apes hesitated at first, their confidence wavering in the face of this new, more ferocious predator. But one, larger than the rest and possessing a silver streak down its back, beat its chest with its fists, letting out a deafening roar of challenge. It barreled down on Adam, swinging its massive arms like wrecking balls.
Adam met the beast head-on. There was no art to it, only a brutal, explosive collision. He ducked under a wild swing, drove his shoulder into the ape’s chest, and his hands shot out. One gripped the ape’s throat, the other the back of its skull. With a single, wrenching heave of his inhuman strength, he twisted. The sound was a wet, cartilaginous crack that echoed through the clearing. He dropped the ape, its head lolling at an impossible angle.
Instead of being intimidated by the gruesome display, the other apes were incensed. With a collective bellow of fury, they charged Adam in a single, terrifying melee. The fight became a whirlwind of motion. Adam was a storm of destruction. He moved with a deadly economy, every motion a kill. He seized one ape by its arm, spun, and slammed it bodily into a tree, the impact splintering the trunk and shattering the ape’s spine. Another came at him from the side; Adam drove his elbow back with such force that he caved in its ribcage.
He killed two more in grotesque fashion, tearing out the throat of one with his bare hands and stomping the skull of another into pulp. But he was being swarmed. For every ape he killed, two more were on him, their powerful fists raining blows on his back and sides.
Eve flinched as she heard a sickening, wet snapping sound, followed immediately by a roar of pure agony that tore from Adam’s throat. His leg. One of the apes had managed to get a hold of it, twisting it with its combined weight. Adam collapsed to one knee, his face contorted in pain. But he was not finished. Even with a shattered leg, he was the deadliest creature in the jungle. He lunged forward, sweeping the legs out from under the ape that had crippled him, and as it fell, he was on it, his hands a blur as he pulverized its skull against the ground. He killed another, driving it back with a series of powerful blows before grabbing its head and snapping its neck with a final, brutal jerk.
The few surviving apes, seeing their numbers decimated, began to falter, their fury turning to fear. That fear became absolute panic when a low, powerful snarl echoed from the shadows. Adam’s Smilodon tiger erupted from the undergrowth, a blur of fangs and fury. It pounced on the nearest ape, its massive jaws clamping down on its throat. There was a brief, gurgling scream as the tiger’s sabre-teeth sank deep, and then it was over. The tiger shook its kill once, a gesture of absolute dominance, and the remaining apes scattered, fleeing into the jungle with pathetic, terrified cries.
Adam stood triumphant amidst the carnage, his chest heaving, his body slick with blood and sweat. He swayed for a moment, the adrenaline fading, and then collapsed from sheer exhaustion, his body hitting the forest floor with a heavy thud. His sabretooth companion looked up from its bloody meal, nudging its master’s side with its massive head and whining softly.
Eve didn’t hesitate. She leaped down from her tree, landing as gracefully as she could, and ran to the injured Adam.
As Eve approached Adam, who lay unconscious and frighteningly still on the ground, his sabretooth tiger immediately interposed itself, a living, breathing wall of muscle and fangs. A low, guttural growl vibrated in its chest, a clear warning that promised violence. Eve froze, then immediately crouched low, making herself small and unintimidating. She knew that some animals could understand intent, could smell fear and aggression, but also compassion and purpose.
She pointed a trembling finger at Adam and said in the softest, most non-threatening voice she could manage, “I need to help him.”
The sabretooth continued to growl, its lips peeled back to reveal the full, terrifying length of its canines, its fur standing on end, making it look even larger.
She persisted, her voice a soothing murmur. “Please. He’ll die if I don’t help him.”
The growl didn’t stop, but beneath the steady rumble, there was a flicker of something in its yellow eyes—a hint of understanding, a conflict between its trained protective instincts and the logic of her plea.
After a long, tense moment, it slowly backed away, its gaze still locked on her, giving her a sliver of clearance.
Eve then went to Adam’s side. The stench of blood and sweat was thick in the air. His eyes were closed, his face pale and still. His cuts, while numerous, had already stopped bleeding, their edges knitting together with the same unnatural speed as her own. That wasn’t the problem.
His healing worked like hers; superficial wounds would vanish. But broken bones ... that was another matter entirely. The bone of his left leg was sticking out at a horrible, unnatural angle, the white shard of his tibia piercing the skin, a grotesque monument to the violence he had endured. And judging by the mottled, dark bruising already forming on his abdomen, he likely had some broken ribs as well.
Eve knew she needed to treat him, but she couldn’t do it out here in the open, where the scent of so much blood would draw every scavenger and predator for miles. With a great deal of effort, especially given his large, muscular frame, she had to get him to her tree. It was a torturous ordeal. She managed to loop her arms under his armpits, her own wounded shoulder screaming in protest. He was a dead weight of sheer, dense muscle. She dug her feet into the soft earth, her legs burning with strain as she began to drag him toward the trunk. Every few feet, she had to stop, panting, her vision swimming with spots of exhaustion. She was careful, impossibly careful, to avoid jarring his broken leg, her movements awkward and agonizingly slow. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she reached the base of the tree and began the impossible task of hauling him up, branch by agonizing branch.
She collapsed onto the moss of her nest, her body screaming in exhaustion, but there was no time to rest. Steeling her nerves, she turned to his leg. The wound was angry and swollen. Taking a deep breath, she placed her hands on either side of the protruding bone. She pushed, hard, guiding the white shard back into the flesh of his leg. There was a sickening, wet crunching sound as the bone slid back into place.
He groaned fitfully, his eyelids fluttering, but he remained deep in the oblivion of unconsciousness. His other wounds seemed to be healing slowly, their progress delayed by the sheer number of injuries and the massive trauma his body had endured. So she started applying her healing herbs. She retrieved more shadow-leaf, this time chewing the fibrous leaves into a thick, dark green paste, which she then packed into the puncture wound on his leg. She did the same for the deepest cuts on his chest and back, her gentle, methodical movements a stark contrast to the savagery of his wounds.
As she worked, her pets flitted around the edges of the nest, their squeaks of curiosity a soft counterpoint to her ragged breathing. To her astonishment, Adam’s tiger, with a powerful, silent leap, climbed up into the tree to watch the proceedings. Its massive head filled the entrance to the nest, its golden eyes focused solely on its master. Nutty, Squeaky, and Tiny bolted, vanishing into the smallest crevices of the tree, their chittering silenced by terror. The tiger ignored them completely, its only concern being the still form on the moss.
As Adam rested, the rise and fall of his chest finally becoming deep and even, and Eve reasoned that she had done all she could for the moment, she looked at the great predator. “Don’t eat any of my friends,” she said, her voice low and firm. “Or I’ll pull out those big teeth of yours and shove them into your paws.”
The tiger just sat back on its haunches, regarding her with an unreadable, intelligent gaze. Then, it began to calmly and methodically lick the blood from its own paw, utterly unconcerned, as her pets cowered in their hiding spots.
Some Time Later...
The long, languid hours of the day bled into one another, a river of golden light and dappled shadow that flowed through the canopy of her tree. Within the safety of this arboreal nest, Eve remained a steadfast guardian at Adam’s side. The jungle, a chaotic symphony of life just beyond the walls of their sanctuary, seemed distant and irrelevant. The air grew heavy and still, thick with the narcotic scent of night-blooming flowers and the sweet, earthy perfume of the moss that cushioned their forms.
Her pets, initially scattered by the arrival of the great cat, eventually grew bold. First one, then another, they emerged from the deepest crevices of the hollow, their tiny, twitching noses testing the air. They crept closer, a silent procession of soft fur and innate caution, until they huddled in a warm, breathing pile in Eve’s lap. Their small, rhythmic heartbeats and the gentle chittering of their contentment were a fragile counterpoint to the deep, powerful presence of the man who lay unconscious before her.
She couldn’t help but marvel at him. In sleep, the ferocity, the infuriating arrogance, and the cold, calculating logic all fell away, leaving behind a startling beauty. His face, usually a mask of intensity and challenge, was now utterly serene. The sharp, commanding lines of his jaw were softened, the perpetual furrow in his brow smoothed out. A long, thick lock of his red hair had fallen across his forehead, and she had to physically restrain herself from reaching out to brush it aside. She studied the strong, straight bridge of his nose and the full, surprisingly generous curve of his lips, lips that were usually set in a hard line or twisted in a derisive smirk. His lashes, a dark auburn against his pale skin, were long and thick, casting faint shadows on his high cheekbones. He was a masterpiece of brutal, primal power, and in this moment, he was hers to behold.
Periodically, she would gently peel back a corner of the dark green poultice to check on his wounds. The raw, mangled flesh of his leg, where the white shard of his tibia had torn through, was now a clean, sealed line of angry red. The deep gashes on his chest and back, which had been weeping blood, were already fading, the skin knitting itself back together with the same relentless, unnatural efficiency she knew from her own body. He was finally healing the way he was supposed to, his body a furnace of regeneration, reforging itself even in stillness.
As the sun began its final descent, it painted the underside of the canopy in breathtaking hues of molten orange and soft, bruised purple. The light slanted into the nest, illuminating the swirling dust motes and setting Adam’s red hair ablaze with fiery highlights.
It was then that he began to stir. A low, guttural growl rumbled in his chest, a sound of protest from deep within a dream. His eyelids fluttered, and he lifted a hand to his head, his fingers clumsily rubbing his temple as if trying to clear it.
His Smilodon companion, who had remained a silent, sentinel statue at the nest’s entrance, immediately shifted. A low, pleasure-chuffing sound escaped its throat, and with a powerful, silent leap, it was inside the nest. The great cat lowered its massive head and began to enthusiastically lick Adam’s face, its rough, sandpaper tongue leaving wet trails across his cheek and forehead.
Eve pressed a hand to her mouth, a giggle bubbling up inside her at the sheer, heartwarming absurdity of the sight—the terrifying apex predator being fussed over like a lost cub. Adam groaned, his annoyance palpable even in his groggy state, and grumpily shoved the tiger’s head away.
“Get off,” he mumbled, his voice thick and slumberous.
The cat, its duty done and its master clearly no longer on the brink of death, gave a final, affectionate nudge before turning and leaping from the tree in a fluid, muscular bound, disappearing into the shadows below.
An overwhelming urge washed over Eve. She wanted to go to him, to wrap her arms around his neck and thank him, to pour out all the relief and gratitude she felt for him protecting her again, even though his cruel words from the night before still echoed in her memory. But she hesitated. The memory of his anger was a fresh wound, and she feared that it had not cooled. With a soft rustle of leaves, she scrambled back a little further, positioning herself behind a curtain of broad, waxy ferns, her heart thumping a nervous, frantic rhythm. She watched, holding her breath, wondering if and when he might notice her.
Adam sighed, a heavy, weary sound, and pushed himself into a sitting position. He still looked dazed, his crimson eyes slowly taking in his surroundings. He finally seemed to notice the poultices covering his torso and leg. With a look of profound disgust, he began to rip them off, his movements stiff and pained as he tore the sticky, herbal concoctions from his healing skin.
Eve forgot all about hiding. She shot forward from behind the leaves, her hands on her hips, her voice a sharp, indignant cry. “Don’t do that! I don’t know if you’re all healed yet!”
His head snapped up, his crimson eyes, now clear and sharp, instantly focusing on her. “Eve?” he said, his voice a low, raspy rumble of disbelief.
She gasped, instinctively moving back further into the concealment of the foliage as her pets, startled by her outburst, scurried to gather around her, chirping in quiet alarm.
Adam grumbled something under his breath—something that sounded suspiciously like, “Of course you’re still here”—and slowly turned his back to her.
She was right. He was still mad. For a long, tense moment, he just sat there, his broad, muscular back to her, his posture rigid, almost seeming petulant in its silent refusal to engage. Finally, his voice, flat and devoid of emotion, cut through the quiet.
“You helped me after I fell? You brought me here and tended my wounds?”
It took a moment for her to find her voice from within her hiding place. “Yes,” she said softly. “It seemed like the right thing to do.”
He kept his back to her, his shoulders tense. “You said you wouldn’t do anything to help me,” he stated. “You lied.”
