Found (The Last Watcher Series) Book One (11 page)

“
Oh Tae, This can’t happen.
I will not see you go because of me. What can I do?” I cried to
him. He knew I couldn’t do anything. All he did now was lay and
watch me as my eyes were filled with tears.

“
Oh Amabel. My love. Don’t
you worry about a thing.” He said, slowly closing his
eyes.

“
No, Tae, please no.” I
said. This couldn’t happen. I held his head in my lap, continuing
crying. I closed my eyes, putting one hand on his wound to try to
stop the bleeding. “Tae, oh how I love you. You can’t leave me
right now. I need you so much.” I said softly, continuing to cry.
All I could think about is not seeing his face every day. I
pictured us the night in his room, and it was so amazing. I didn’t
want to possibly imagine that I will never feel his touch again.
With all the energy I had within in, I pushed on his wound. I could
feel a warm vibration running though my arm. Before I could open my
eyes to see what was going on. Darkness overtook me.

I woke up with the sun in my eyes. As I
looked outside, it has never been so beautiful. Besides the snowy
background, I could see green. The trees wanted to finally flourish
from the winter. Spring time was finally coming. I looked around to
see where I was, and realized I was in Tae’s house. It beat being
back in the jail cell. Wait, how did I get to Tae’s house?

“
Tae?” I asked. Looking
around for him.

“
Amabel!” He screamed
running from the bathroom. “Oh Amabel you’re back! You’ve came back
to me!” He screamed.

“
What do you
mean?”

“
You’ve been sleeping for
weeks! I lost track of time. Your mom has come visited you every
day. She’s tried talking to you and you wouldn’t wake up. Oh how
I’ve missed you!” he screamed, running to me and hugging
me.

“
I’m happy to see you too
Tae. You’re okay? I don’t remember anything that happened. I just
passed out.”

“
I know sweetie. You saved
me. I felt warm in my chest, and I got my breath back. When I
looked up at you, you were already gone. This took so much energy
out of you that your body couldn’t take it. I can’t believe you
saved me Amabel. This is the true abilities of the last watcher.
You have so much more undiscovered ones. We will practice them soon
I promise you.”

“
What about Argem? Did I
kill him?”

“
No, I don’t think you
killed him. What you did to him was hit him without touching him.
You used any electricity in the building and hit him with it.
That’s another thing you have discovered. I’m not sure how you did
any of it. But you did. You got us out of there alive. I am so
grateful for you.

“
You are grateful for me?
Tae, you watched me all your life. I knew you were weak because
you’ve been trying to find me the whole time I turned our
connection off. But you found me Tae.
You
saved me.”

“
Oh Amabel. My love.
Everything will be okay now. No one will touch you again I promise
you that.” Tae told me. I knew now that he won’t leave my side. I
kind of liked the thought of that. “You need all the protection I
can give you.” He added.

“
Tae, I know you will. I
know.” I said. Laying back in bed trying to relax a little bit
more. “Do you know where Kierce is?” I asked.

“
He came by here a few days
ago. Apologizing for not letting me know. He told me his father
wouldn’t let him go anywhere since they already had you. He also
told me that they’re furious now, and won’t be satisfied until they
get you. Kierce is no use to them now, so for as long as he can,
he’ll try to tell us his father’s actions. As of now, they’re
building an army, and coming to get you. They don’t know how many
people are actually protecting you.”

“
They don’t know? How many
are
actually
protecting me though? Isn’t it just you, and well,
Kierce.”

“
Yes, but there may be much
more. I don’t know any of that because I have only focused on you.
No one has come to me about you before. Therefore, I’m as lost just
like you.”

“
Well, for being the last
watcher, I guess there may be people who we don’t even know looking
over me. If there are though. Why didn’t they come and save
me?”

“
I’m pretty sure they knew
you were in no danger yet. I’m assuming they’ll come if anything
big happens.”

“
Well I hope so. Because I
don’t think the three of us can just fight a whole army of hunters
off.”

“
Yes, you’re right. But we
can damn well try it.” Tae said. Knowing that next time he’ll be a
lot more prepared, as well as me.

I have stayed at Tae’s for a few more days
until I decided I needed to go home to my mother and father to tell
them I need to hide. I’m pretty sure the hunters won’t come after
them, but to be safe, they need to hide as well. I got fully
dresses with the clothes that Tae has brought to me and headed to
my see my parents. Tae of course came with me. I loved seeing the
familiar streets and houses, especially mine. I missed the coziness
and the faint smell of cinnamon.

“
Mother, father, are you
guys home?” I asked as I opened the front door.

“
Sweetie! Oh my Amabel! I’ve
been worried sick! Don’t you do that to us!”

“
Mother, we need to
talk.”

“
Yes of course, but first
get your coat off so you can eat. You look like you haven’t eaten
in weeks!” She said. She was right now. I haven’t eaten in too
long.

“
That sounds good.” I said,
as I sat down to eat some hash browns with eggs. My father’s
favorite thing to cook was definitely breakfast.

“
So what did you want to
talk to me about?” My mother asked.

“
Well, as you know. I got
kidnapped by the hunters. Tae helped me escape and now they’re
pissed. They will come for me again one day. Probably soon. I need
you guys to hide, as well as me. For now I will stay at Tae’s
house. It’s in the woods and not really known by many people. You
guys need to go out of Alaska until it’s safe.”

“
No, I’m not leaving you
Amabel!”

“
Mother, you have to! You’re
not a watcher like my real father was. You can’t protect yourself
or me. You need to leave with dad, well, Richard. You guys need to
get out of here and soon! I will contact you whenever I can to keep
you guys updated.” I told her.

“
Well, I suppose you’re
right. Please be careful, and call me all the time sweetie. I’ll
miss you.” My mother said, with tears rising in her eyes. I knew
this hurt her but it was the right thing to do. I didn’t want them
hurt or worse, killed.

“
Yes mother, I
am
right. I’m going to
grab a few more things form upstairs, as well as Tae’s and we’ll be
off. Don’t tell us where you’re going. I don’t want a chance for
any hunters to find out where you are. I don’t know the powers they
have. My luck, one of them will read minds or seek
memories.”

“
Well, okay. You go then.
Please be safe.” My mother said, getting up and coming towards me
to hug me. She held me tight few a few minutes and finally let me
go. As she did, I ran upstairs to grab a few clothes for me and Tae
and was ready to leave.

“
I’ll miss you mom.” I told
her. Now feeling her pain of me leaving.

“
I’ll miss you too sweetie,
I love you. Be safe.” She said. Hugging me once more and sending me
off on my way. I wasn’t too happy to leave my house. This was my
home. I got used to it and in a way liked it better than the one we
lived in Massachusetts. It needed to be done though.

Tae and I walked back to his house, before we
went back in. tae stopped.

“
What’s the matter Tae?” I
asked. He looked at me, took the bags out of my hand and slowly
came closer. He put me into his arms, and nothing else mattered
right now. I felt so safe in his strong arms that I didn’t want to
be anywhere else.

“
I love you Amabel.” He told
me. I looked up at him, sending the words back through my eyes. He
leaned in towards me, and kissed me passionately. “Get some more
rest. Tomorrow we will practice.” He said. I went inside the house,
and laid down comfortably on the bed. This was the first time my
mind wasn’t running with a thousand words. It was relaxed, as well
as I was. I could picture my first kiss with Kierce, and it was
nothing compared to what I had with Tae. He was so special to me, I
couldn’t bear to think I almost lost him. I wonder how I managed to
save his life. All I remember is losing him, and I started feeling
so much pain. It’s incredible thinking I did such a thing, I just
wish I knew how.

The next day came quick, and Tae was ready to
practice with me. I didn’t know how he was going to help me, but I
trusted him

“
You ready sleepy head?” He
said to me, seeing my eyes open.

“
Ehh, yeah, I guess.” I told
him.

“
Well get up, get some food
in your stomach and lets go.”

“
Where are we
going?”

“
Well we’re not going to
practice in the house. For all I know, you can destroy it with a
simple thought.” He said laughing.

“
Very funny, so where are we
going to do this anyways?”

“
I’m just thinking a little
deeper into the woods, so no one hears or sees us. I know the
perfect place.” He said. I nodded and started getting out of bed.
Before I could fully get up, Tae came over to me and threw his arms
around me.

“
Amabel, you mean so much to
me. You have no idea. You are everything I have imagined as I
watched you grow up.” He said to me. I started feeling butterflies
in my stomach. It suddenly dropped and I felt my heartbeat get
faster. “Your heart liked my words.” He said. I looked up at him
smiling. “Thank you for being in my life.”

“
You’re not the one that
needs to thank me. You are everything to be Tae. Before you came
into my life, without you…. I felt… so alone. I felt something
missing and didn’t know what.”

“
Amabel, you complete me.
You are my whole reason for living. I have never known anyone but
you and I never will. I don’t want another woman in my life. You
are my savor, and I hope one day you decide to bond with
me.”

“
Tae, I wouldn’t want it any
other way, but you know I can’t just leave Kierce like that. It
will hurt him too much. Not that I’m with him, but I just want to
make everyone happy. I don’t want my parents worrying anymore and I
don’t want Kierce hurt from me or his father. I don’t want him
trying to help me and disobeying his father. Family is everything
to me and it must be to him. I don’t want to take that away from
him Tae.” I said starting to get tears in my eyes. I felt myself
want to break down but I knew I couldn’t. I had a lot coming and I
needed to get prepared, not cry on the side. “And you. I don’t want
to hurt you if I don’t choose to bond with you. I’m so afraid of
commitment. If I bond with you, and I lose in you some way. That
will be the end of me.”

“
No, you must not talk like
that Amabel. If you do not chose to bond with me, I will forever
love you. I will never leave your side. Don’t you worry about my
feelings when you have to worry about yours. Do what’s right for
you, not others.” He said. I knew he wanted me to be happy, but I
couldn’t possibly be if I hurt anyone I loved.

“
We should go now. I’m not
that hungry.” I told him, trying to change the subject before I
completely lose control of my tears.

“
Alright, let’s go.” He
said. We walked outside, and I followed him through the woods to
where he was leading me. We walked for less than an hour and came
out to a field. It was kind of nice here. Not much snow on the
ground but grass. The sun was shining of the snow that there was
and it made the place look magical.

“
I love it here.”

“
Good, I knew you would. Now
let’s get started.

“
Okay, what’s first?” I
asked.

“
First, you need to
concentrate on trying to contact me. You need to learn how to turn
it off and on. Now, close your eyes, and think of the person you
want to contact. Which is me in this case.” He said. I did as he
said, and tried to focus on Tae’s face.
Tae, can you hear me?
I asked him in
my head. Nothing.

“
It’s not working Tae. I
tried focusing on you and you didn’t hear me.

“
Try again. It might not be
easy at first. With time, you will easily just think of me and I
will hear you. Now put all your energy to it. It won’t drain you
yet, only because it’s a small ability that you have, but you need
to try.” I did as he said, and put all of my energy towards it. All
I thought about was Tae and how I wanted to reach him.
Tae, you are all I’m thinking about right
now.
Nothing.

“
No, it’s not working. You
didn’t answer me.”

“
Keep trying. The more you
try, the easier it will get. This time, try concentrating on
talking to me in general. Try to open the communication. You might
have turned it off beforehand.” So I did as he said. I focused on
contacting him even harder. I could feel the energy going towards
him, and suddenly felt an open mind. Hoping it worked, I tried
again.
Tae, I love your touch.
I thought in my mind, hoping it didn’t work
again.
My touches are always filled with
love.
He heard me. I opened my eyes and
noticed him looking at me with a huge smile.
Well, that’s one of my confessions.
I
thought. Laughing in the back.
Very good,
now try turning it off again. Break the connection between
us.
He told me.
I’ll try.
I said, and put my energy
towards breaking the connection. I thought of how I no longer
wanted to hear him.
I don’t know if that
worked.
I heard no answer.
