Found (The Last Watcher Series) Book One (26 page)

Abruptly, I felt pain that was out of this
world. In the same wound in my neck, I felt a shark stab. It was as
if I felt Argem’s teeth sink into me all over again. This time, it
went much deeper. I felt the texture almost touching my throat. Now
paralyzed on the cold floor, I felt helpless and lost. Was this my
time to go? Did the change not accept my human form as well? Or was
the watcher trying to push the toxicant away? I didn’t know, and I
didn’t care. I wanted the pain to go away, and slowly, it did.

“
Did it work?”

“
I don’t know. Is she trying
to open her eyes? I can’t tell.”

“
I don’t know Kierce. I
don’t know.” I heard tae and Kierce talk. I slowly opened my eyes,
and to my amazement. I was home.

“
What happened?” I
asked.

“
Oh Amabel. Thank god you’re
alive. Your heartbeat is so weak, almost not there.” Kierce told
me.

“
Am I.. a
hunter?”

“
No.” Tae answered me. “No.
You’re not.” He told me with a smile.

“
What happened? I felt
such..” I couldn’t finish the sentence. The horrifying pain was too
much.

“
I know. You’re okay now
though.”

“
So.. I’m human?”

“
No. You’re the last
watcher.” Tae answered me with another soft smile.

“
How could that be?” I asked
him.

“
I sucked the toxicant out
of your body. Well.. for one. Your brothers didn’t agree with your
choice. They were just as angry as I was. They attacked, again.
This time though, the hunters didn’t fight back. They just watched
me try to..” He forced himself to swallow. “They watched me try
to.. suck it back up. Suck the toxicant out of you.”

“
How did it
work?”

“
I’m not sure. I wasn’t even
sure of what I was doing. But I did it.”

“
So it’s within you
now?”

“
I don’t think so. Even if
it is though.. There will be no effect on me. I’m a lycan,
remember.”

“
I guess. So.. I went
through all that pain, and I’m human?”

“
I almost lost you Amabel. I
almost lost you.” Tae told me with sorrow in his face.

“
You didn’t though. You
saved me.” I told him with a thank you behind my voice. “But wait..
now it’s not over.
Now
it will bring a war far more horrifying than any war of human
history!” I screamed, realizing Samuele will not let this go. “They
will kill you! They will kill all of you! What if I don’t have my
abilities? What if I can’t send them away? Even if I do, what
then?” I was now full of fright.

“
Amabel, you’re being
selfish! You’re not supposed to be a hunter. Me saving you proved
that right. Can’t you see?” Tae tried telling me, but I didn’t
listen.

“
Tae, this just brought a
conflict not even I can solve.”

“
You can bond with me! We
can run away and be happy together! They will us alone. They will
not bother us.” Tae told me with confidence. I looked over at
Kierce, and he was not as happy.

“
Tae, no. They will find us.
They will kill us. If I stay a watcher, I need to protect the
humans. My full powers are out which means it’s time for me to step
up.” As I said this, I really hoped I was right.

We stayed silent for a few minutes, and I
pictured myself being a hunter. In a way, I was looking forward to
it. Now though, that was not the case. I brought up the memory of
Kierce and I, both hunters. We looked so happy and free. I dreaded
having to always look out for them. Slowly, I noticed Tae step back
from the bed I was still lying in. He saw.

“
So you have decided
already?” He asked me quietly.

“
No. But someone has.” I
told him remembering the words from my vision, telling me a hunter
I may choose.

“
No matter who you are. I
will always love you.” He spoke to me with sadness, and left the
room.
