Found (The Last Watcher Series) Book One (14 page)

“
Wait, what. No..
I…”

“
Kierce Pence, you hate
hunted a human today.” I told him. This wasn’t me talking anymore.
I would never hurt Kierce, but me as a watcher, wanted to destroy
him.

“
Amabel, I’m sorry. How did
you know though? I didn’t kill him. It was a traveler. I just
wanted to taste human blood. My father never told me not to.
Amabel, please!”

“
Kierce, get out. Now!” tae
screamed at him.

“
Tae, I can’t. I can’t
believe I did such a thing, but I won’t leave. If she wants to kill
me, so be it. I can’t live without her love. I just can’t.” Kierce
cried out.

“
Listen, this isn’t fully
her talking. She will still love you after this. You need to leave.
She won’t be able to control herself any longer! Please go!” Tae
screamed at him. I could see Kierce looking back at me, and I knew
he was ready to go. As the last watcher, I couldn’t let that
happen. I fully got up to my feet now, and all I saw was Kierce.
Him running away will be not a choice. As I was looking at him, I
felt it within me. I felt the power of the watcher. I felt
unbeatable. With a simple thought in my mind, it was the biggest
storm of the year. I wasn’t going to use electricity though. Within
seconds, Kierce was now on the ground screaming in pain. I was
torturing him with every bad thought I had. I made a fist, and was
about to break every bone in his body with a simple thought. I knew
I was capable of it, and there wasn’t anything that could stop me.
As I stared at him being tortured, I laughed at his
pain.

“
Fucking hunter.” I said
laughing. “This is my revenge. This is for what you have done.” I
continued laughing. As I was about to put the last straw on killing
him, Tae attacked me. He wasn’t a lycan, yet a simple human who
distracted me from hurting Kierce.

“
Amabel, snap out of it! You
don’t want to kill him. This is not the hunter you need to hurt.
Come back to me my love.” I heard Tae saying to me. He was pinning
me down on the ground. I knew I could easily get Tae off of me. I
didn’t need to use strength, All I needed to do was make a simple
thought. Before I could continue, he kissed me. I felt Tae’s soft
lips against mine. I suddenly felt warmth, and love came back into
my heart. I kissed Tae back passionately, and no such thing as hate
was inside me. I suddenly realized what I have just
done.

“
Kierce!” I screamed,
stopping Tae and pushing him off me. “Oh my god, what have I done!”
I screamed, running over to Kierce. He was laying on the ground, in
terrible pain. I could feel what I have done to him, and felt
everything he did. “Oh Kierce, I’m so sorry!” I started crying
trying to hold him. He was in too much pain to even look back at
me.

“
Amabel. You are very strong
when the watcher come within you. You almost broke every bone in
his body with a simple thought. I read everything you were
thinking. You need to help him!” Tae yelled. I knew he was right.
How could I have done such a thing to someone I loved. I couldn’t
believe I didn’t feel any love when I was hurting him.

“
Kierce, oh I’m so sorry.
Kierce please stay with me. I love you, please stay with me.” I
cried to him. I wanted to heal him. I wanted to hold him and make
the pain stop. I tried collecting all the energy within me and send
it towards Kierce, but failed. He was laying there almost dead, and
I couldn’t do a thing! I tried again, and failed.

“
Tae, I can’t help him! I
can’t send my energy to him!”

“
You need to relax. You are
too worked up right now. It’s not going through for a reason. Find
it within you again, and send it to him almost with a shock.” He
told me. I did as he said. I took in a few deep breathes, and
collected all the energy I had. I put my arm on his chest where his
heart would be, and sent all the energy I could. I felt the warmth
within me once again. My vision started to blur, and I felt the
electricity running though my arms. I sent it into him with force,
until I had no more. I opened my eyes to see Kierce looking at me.
As I see him smile, my mind goes empty.

When I woke up the next day, something felt
strange. It wasn’t the usual surrounding. I didn’t only feel Kierce
and Tae being here but I felt someone else. Someone I have not met
yet, or seen. I suddenly got up, and ran out of the room. I
realized Tae didn’t wake me up today, and Kierce was probably still
hurt. I didn’t know if I healed him fully.

“
Kierce! Tae!” I screamed.
No answer. Where were they? I could feel them, but I couldn’t see
them. I checked to see if they were in the other bedroom or the
bathroom. No one. Last place to check would be outside. I stepped
outside, and got blinded by the sun. It was amazing out. So
beautiful and warm. I didn’t need my winter coat today, that’s for
sure. I looked out front and didn’t see a soul. As I went to check
in the back, I heard someone laughing. It was Tae and another
voice.

“
Oh, Amabel is awake!” Tae
said excited. He wasn’t with Kierce, but someone new. A stranger.
It was another man. He didn’t look much older than Tae. His skin
was the same as Tae’s, and mine for that matter. Tan and muscular.
His eyes were bright blue and his hair a deep burgundy color, but
very short.

“
Hello, Amabel.” The
stranger said to me. “I’m James, your brother.” My brother? No, I
didn’t have one. I was an only child. How much more could my mother
hide from me.

“
Is this true?” I looked at
Tae in confusion.

“
Yes my love. This is your
brother. You’re blood brother. Not from Richard, but your real
father.” He told me.

“
How could it be though?” I
didn’t know how to take this in. All my life I had a brother
unknowingly.

“
Amabel, my name is James
Black. I have our father’s last name. Our father… disowned me.. if
that’s the right way to put it. This happened many years ago. Right
before you were born.”

“
Why did he do such a
thing?” I asked.

“
I am a lycan, like Tae. He
did not approve of it.”

“
Approve of it? Are you
kidding me? You’re his son! Why would he need to approve you in any
way.”

“
Our father was a difficult
man.”

“
Difficult? This is absurd!”
I was furious with how my father made his choice on having a son or
not. I don’t understand how a father could do such a thing to his
own son. “How have you lived all these years?”

“
I pretty much have lived by
myself. I have met others like me. For a while, I was in a pack
with them. But soon after, stepped away, and tried to find you.
When mother used to contact me, she used to tell me about you.
Then, she suddenly stopped and I lost full contact of anyone I ever
knew. With that, I enjoyed life as much as I could, hoping one day,
I’ll at least find you.”

“
This is horrible. Oh James,
I’m so happy. I wish you were in my life all along. I needed a best
friend though out my life.”

“
I know Amabel. This wasn’t
my choice though. I do have to tell you one thing though. I at
first did not transform into a lycan for a very long time. I grew
up until now, and then stopped. I think I’ve been about twenty five
for the last five years. When I passed by a few other lycans. They
have told me the hunters are closing in all over Alaska. I than
thought of you, and how you will need my help. I’m the only one
that knows what you really are capable of.” This is great in a way.
If he knows what I can do, he can show me more.

“
Great! Will you practice
with me?” I asked him.

“
Yes, I will be more than
happy to.” He told me, laughing at my excitement. “But I need you
guys to fill me in on what has been going on so far. I’ve felt
trouble within you Amabel. I didn’t know how to find you, but
passing nearby, I caught your scent.”

“
Oh James, I’m so happy you
did.” I said, running to him with open arms. It was nice to know I
had someone so close to me here. Even though this is our first time
meeting, it sure didn’t feel like it. He took me in and held me
tight. I welcomed him with great honor.

“
I’ve missed you sweetie.”
He told me. I looked up at him and caught him smiling from ear to
ear.

“
So, fill me in now. What
has happened.” James asked. Tae and I looked at each other, and
started from the beginning. We told him all about how Kierce came
in to lure me in, and how Tae and I met. I told him in detail on
how I was kidnapped and Tae coming to save me. The most important
things, were my abilities. We explained how hard it was for me to
enhance them, and how angry I had to get to use them. James didn’t
seem surprised. What he did seem surprised about was that the
watcher came in within in me towards Kierce.

“
I could expect that
happening since he fed from a human, just not how you attacked him
since you have such love for him.” He told me. I knew that, and was
also surprised at that fact. Speaking of Kierce.

“
Where is he?” I asked
looking at Tae.

“
Since he was so weak from
your attack, he went out hunting again. He promised it would be an
animal.” Tae told me. I looked at him hoping he was right. I didn’t
want to get like that towards him again.

“
We need to practice Amabel.
Well, you do. I don’t want to at the same location since you said
you’ve practiced here before. I want to go somewhere with new
surroundings and I have the perfect place. Don’t seem amazed by
this, but I owe a mini plane. I built it since I had so much free
time, and that’s how I traveled everyone.” As he said that, he gave
us a small giggle. “You guys want to see it?” He told us. Of course
we did. We walked about half a mile into the woods, and came to his
plane. It was a white color with red stripes. It looked small
enough to fit about four people.

“
So, what do you guys think
about my master piece.” James said to us with sarcasm.

“
Absolutely stunning.” I
told him laughing. We got onto the plane and headed to where James
has planned to go. He told us it would take a few hours since the
plane didn’t have the best engine. I didn’t mind. I was looking
forward to spending some time with my brother. In a way, it was
weird thinking I had someone related to me. Someone part of my
family, yet I never knew him until today. How could I have not
known, or even felt it. In other words I guess, when someone
disowns you, you really aren’t part of the family
anymore.

It has been only about an hour since we’ve
been in the air. I loved seeing Alaska from up top. I never had the
chance to enjoy such a beautiful view. All the mountain tops
covered in snow that was glaring from the sun. The rivers that were
only half covered with ice and the trees that were flourishing
green, from the spring that was coming. It was truly amazing. I
didn’t get to enjoy it long enough though. I felt the plane
tremble. I looked out the window on the right, and saw nothing. As
I looked on to the left, I saw someone. A hunter. As the plane
started trembling more and more, I saw not only one of them, but
maybe close to five now. I could see the fear raising in my Tae’s
eyes, as well as my brothers. We knew we were going down. I didn’t
know if Luthius was involved yet, but it really didn’t matter. It
was life or death right now. The plane started going down, and the
hunters disappeared. I could hear Tae’s heartbeat racing, and my
brother’s eye started to widen. There was absolutely nothing we
could do.

“
I can’t get control of the
plane!” My brother screamed.

“
Do something!” Tae screamed
already knowing the answer.

“
Tae, I can’t. We’re going
down.” James said calmly now. Tae looked at me and came closer to
hold me tight. The comfort of his body calmed me from the fear.
Now, I only had the fear for my loved ones. It had nothing to do
with. I backed away from Tae. I now felt the familiar feeling. It
was hate, and anger for the hunters. They were going to kill us and
had no remorse. How could someone be so heartless. Why would they
kill people who have done nothing to them. Lycans don’t stop them
from anything, they only keep an eye on the watchers. It was me
they wanted, not them. Without being able to fully stand on my
feet, I fell on my knees. I opened the door of the plane and felt
the air hit my face. We were going straight down. I started to get
another familiar feeling. The feeling of a watcher. I smelled the
hunters, and their feeding of humans. They broke the watchers’ law,
my law. My body started to tremble and I felt more hate come to me.
All I wanted to do was scream and let out the fury.

“
Tae! Those blood suckers
better be prepared for war!” I screamed. I felt a force on my arms,
and tried lifting them up. It felt as if I was trying to pick up
two of my body weight. With greater force, I pushed my arms up
higher and higher. With my mind fully focused on the hunters, and
my loved ones in danger, I started controlling the plane. It slowed
down more and more as we flew down. I looked below us, and saw
land.

“
Amabel, keep going! It’s
working!” James screamed from the front.

“
I can’t hold it!” I
screamed.

“
Try!” He yelled back. I
could feel what they were feeling. The fear they had. With greater
force, I fully lifted my arms. The plane slowed down more, but it
didn’t look like we’d make it. We were too close to the ground, and
I could see every detail of the flourishing trees. With more anger
built inside me, I fully stopped the plane. With only a slight
bump, we landed.
