Found (The Last Watcher Series) Book One (10 page)

“
That’s not funny. My
grandfather wouldn’t do anything to hurt me. even if I have done
the worst thing possibly done. Anyways, I overheard my father
saying that Samuele, my grandfather, has gotten ill, and has put
off any decisions until he’s well again.”

“
You mean, he’s really ill?”
I asked. How could this be.

“
Yes Amabel, what do you
mean
really
?”

“
A few days ago I was hoping
that the higher up, well, Samuele, wouldn’t come. Well, not at
least until I was gone.”

“
You’re telling me
that
you
wished
this upon him?” He looked a little frightened now.

“
No, I couldn’t possibly. I
can’t do such things since I never learned anything yet. Tae hasn’t
taught me yet, remember?”

“
Yes, but you may have done
it without knowing it. You need to reverse this! You cannot hurt my
grandfather!”

“
But he can hurt me? Thanks
Kierce. I can’t hurt your family, but they can hurt me. This is
wonderful. What love you have more me!”

“
It’s not like that Amabel.”
He said with a different reaction now. He looks like he realized
what he has said.

“
I don’t care Kierce. I
honestly don’t. I didn’t hurt your grandfather, and if I have, it
wasn’t on purpose. I just want to get out of here. You’re out there
doing whatever you please, while I’m here stuck in a dark room, in
a fucking cage. Just leave!” I yelled. Once I did, I heard someone
coming, as well as Kierce since he looked the same way. He quickly
hid in the same place as before. It was Argem, not the person I
want to see.

“
Well hello there beautiful.
Have you planned our wedding yet? He said laughing.

“
You’re sarcasm isn’t all
that great you know.” I said.

“
Who was making
jokes?”

“
What do you want from me?
What does anyone want from me?”

“
Sweetie, all I want is you.
Everyone else, wants you a hunter. It’s not so bad you
know.”

“
It may not be too bad, but
that’s not who I am. I’ll never be that. I am the last watcher, and
you will all soon regret for keeping me here without my will.” I
said determined, thinking I will gain my abilities soon.

“
Don’t get too excited.
Luthius has ways from stopping that. Shit.” He said. Apparently,
not meaning to say that. Not to me anyways.

“
It’s okay. I’ll make sure
to tell Luthius everything.” I said kind of smirking. This has been
the busiest day for me with visitors, and I wanted to take
advantage of it. For some reason, I cannot bear being
alone.

“
Very funny. So, have you
decided to love me yet?” He asked.

“
You’re kidding me right?
Why would I love you?” I asked.

“
Because I could give you
what no one can.”

“
And what exactly is
that?”

“
You’ll just have to see and
find out.” He said, once again laughing as he walked out. I don’t
care what it takes, but I will not love him or marry him. So let’s
hope he gets that out of his head soon. Now that Argem left, I
remembered Kierce was still in here. He came out from hiding,
looked at me disappointed and left. I guess he knows I have no
choice on anything as long as I’m here.

A few hours passed since
anyone has visited me. all I’ve been trying to do was contact Tae,
yet still no luck. As I was about to fall asleep again to have the
time pass. I heard someone.
Amabel, can
you hear me?
This wasn’t anyone that came
in here. It was Tae!
Oh Tae, I miss you so
much. It’s horrible here!
I said, hoping
he’s bringing good news.
Amabel, my love,
I’ve missed you too so much. I have been trying to get in your head
for so long now, but couldn’t. You must have turned it off when you
got upset at me before.
He was right. I
couldn’t control any of my abilities so I wouldn’t doubt that I did
that.
Tate, I have being trying so hard to
talk to you but I couldn’t. I couldn’t use any abilities. I still
can’t. The only thing Kierce thinks I did is make his grandfather
sick so he wouldn’t come and make any decisions about me
yet.
I told him. I tried telling him as
much as I could before all of this stop without my knowing
it.
Amabel my love, I have been trying to
feel where you are and have had no luck. You have turned off every
connection I have with you. Luckily, whatever you have just done,
worked. I will come for you. Be prepared. When I come for you
though, it may not be as quiet as I hope. So please, try to turn on
any abilities you may feel. Use them without doubting yourself, It
might help me get you out.
I was loving
hearing all this. Finally able to get out of this shithole.
Tae, has Kierce contacted you? He knows I’m here.
He visited me a few times and said he’d try to get me out, but he
hasn’t yet.
I told him. Hopefully this will
help.
Kierce knows your there? That son of
a bitch didn’t tell me a thing! His father better have him locked
up there good, because there was no reason not telling me, unless
he tried to act like a hero for you. Just wait until I get my hands
on him!
Great, I just added to the
tension.
Tae, no, please don’t be angry at
him. I told him he couldn’t do anything to make his father think he
wants to get me out. Luthius trusting him will go a long
way.
I told Tae. I knew I was right.
Well, I guess you’re right. I will get you
Amabel.
I know he will. I also know if I
didn’t turn off our connection, he would have been here
sooner.
Tae, not to say anything useless
right now, but Argem, who is Luthius’s friend I believe, well, he
told me when I change into a hunter, he will marry me.
I told him hoping he’ll also do anything to
prevent that.
Amabel, no hunter will marry
you. Not on my watch.
I knew he meant it.
And I knew he meant it towards Kierce as well.
I love you Tae McCulley.
I told him
truthfully, for the first time.
I love you
too Amabel, my love. I will see you soon.
He said. That was the end of our conversation. I didn’t know
whether he stopped talking to me, or I turned it off again. Now it
was just a matter of time before I get out of here.

It has been a couple of hours now, and no
sign of Tae. I couldn’t possibly expect him to get here so quick
though. He needed to follow his feelings toward me. I was kind of
glad I was connected with Tae in every way. I knew I loved him very
much. I also knew it was especially wrong of me for loving Kierce
too. A simple heart could not love two at once, and if so, there is
always one to love more. I did not have the answers to that though.
My feelings are mixed up with everyone’s, that all I feel is a
jumbled mess. I tried not to think about it too much, but couldn’t
help it. I didn’t want to see Tae or Kierce hurt, but if it comes
down to their safety. Both of them might end up with a broken
heart. I can’t risk everyone’s lives. Not my mothers, fathers, or
theirs. It was just not an option in my mind.

A few more hours passed, and I have lost
track of time completely. I was trying to practice my abilities,
but had nothing. I didn’t know what I was capable off, not to
mention what I was not. It was almost like looking for a boat with
no signal in the middle of the open ocean. It could be any
direction, at any coordinate. I knew one thing though. There was
definitely something I could do to any hunter, and that’s make them
ill, or maybe make them feel pain. I didn’t know exactly, but I
knew now that Kierce’s grandfather, Samuele, wasn’t sick of a
flu.

A few more hours passed by before I could
really hear any commotion outside the room. I heard walking but not
any extreme noise. I wasn’t sure if Tae was coming to bring war
here or just simply quiet. I was hoping it was the second one.
There was no way we would get out of here alive with two against a
hunter army. I hear the door screech, and someone walked in. It was
Tae. How did he just walk right in? It looks like he just came in
the front door with no problem.

“
Amabel, I’m here. We need
to move quickly.” Tae said. He was in human form, how was he going
to get me out of here? These idiots didn’t think anyone would find
you.” He said, coming closer with the keys.

“
You got the keys? Unreal,
this is way too easy.” I said.

“
Don’t get your hopes up
yet. Not until we leave here in one piece.” He said, now trying to
open the gate. He succeeded.

“
Let’s go, but be quiet.” He
added, and we left the room. It was so nice to finally get out of
that cage. I was sick of seeing everything through bars, not like
there was anything to see in there anyways. We walked through the
hallway, and through the doors of the room. Past there, it looked
like an old factory. This wasn’t anyone’s home, just a random
abandoned factory. There wasn’t much to it, and no sign of movement
anywhere. Hopefully no one will even know.

“
These bastards hid you
good. No one has been to this factory in decades. I don’t think the
owner of it is even alive.” Tae said. Surprisingly, I wasn’t
surprised
. This place was
a total shithole. As we walked through the factory, I noticed there
were no windows. We must be on the bottom floor, which explained
the cold cement I was on. We reached a set of stairs, and Tae
hesitated to go towards them, but he did, and I followed. We
reached the top, and he slowly looked around the corner before
proceeding.

“
Shit, they’re here.” He
whispered. “There wasn’t anyone here when I came. Just some hunter
that was playing with his phone. I easily sneaked by him, but now
Luthius is here with some other white haired hunter.” He
added.

“
It’s probably Argem. The
one who wants to marry me, remember.” I said.

“
Yeah, I remember.” He
scowled. I knew he was pissed at that thought, so hopefully it’ll
be easier to get out now. He wouldn’t want to come across them.
“We’re going to have to wait until they leave. I don’t think
they’ll visit you right now. They look too worried and busy
talking.” He said.

“
I guess that’s good. So how
long do you think before we get out?”

“
I don’t know Amabel, I
honestly don’t know.” He said. We waited for about an hour back
down at the main floor of the factory. No one has come down here,
so Tae decided to go check back upstairs. “Let’s go, now. This is
our chance.” He said. I was happy to hear that. I didn’t want to
leave fighting. I didn’t have strength for that, and I doubt he had
either. We walked up the stairs, and slowly headed towards the
nearest exit.

“
Now, now. Where do you
think you’re going.” Shit, it was Argem.

“
Listen hunter, back off.
We’re leaving, and you’re not stopping us.” Tae told
him.

“
Now why would I just let
you walk out of here without doing anything at all? What do you
think this is, lycan.”

“
You will back off,
now
.” Tae was now getting
more and more defensive. I could see his veins popping out more and
more. If I knew any better, he will soon change.

“
Lycan, you are no threat to
me. You are nothing. I feel pity for you that you are such a thing.
Stand back, and hand her over.”

“
I will not stand and watch
you take her away! I will not step aside for you to ruin her life.
Now watch me turn into the creature you think I am. I will do
nothing but rip your face off!” Tae was no screaming. With every
word that he spoke, he turned more and more into the lycan. His
hands were now fur with claws spread apart. His body got filled
with the black and white fur. He is getting bigger by the second,
and his clothes is now ripping. With seconds left, I knew he was no
longer the Tae I was used to. Standing on his two, now changed into
a lycan, he attacks Argem.

“
You fool. Do you think I
can’t fight a lycan? I was
made
for that.” Argem told him, laughing through his
teeth. He was now paler than before, with daggers for teeth,
fighting back Tae. They both went at each other. Argem seemed
quick, but Tae seemed a lot stronger. I couldn’t bear to watch Tae
get hurt, and that’s what it was leading to.

“
You lycan, you seem weak.
What’s the matter?” Argem said laughing. That damn hunter will hurt
Tae. I couldn’t let that happen!

“
Tae, no!” I screamed,
watching Argem dig his fist into his chest. “Tae!” I screamed
louder. With such anger in me, I looked at Argem and screamed once
more. “As the last watcher, I will not let a hunter hurt the lycan!
He has protected me all his life, and you will not take his life!”
I now started feeling a shake run through my body. I got filled
with more and more anger. I now couldn’t see as clear as before.
All that was running through my head was Tae getting hurt. My eyes
were now filled with a blur, as if I was crying. Taking a deep
breath, I got the urge to scream again. “Hunter, you will pay!” I
yelled, releases all the anger and pain I had within in, right
towards him. It was like a beam of lighting that went through my
hands, and hit Argem straight in the chest. He flew backwards, and
hit the wall. I saw him falling, hitting the floor without any
movement. What did I just do? Did I just kill him? That’s not what
I wanted to do, but I couldn’t pay attention to him. All I heard
was Tae screaming in pain. I saw him covered in blood as he slowly
turned back into the Tae I knew. I quickly ran over to him and fell
on my kneed.
