CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I don’t hesitate. I follow their phase trails and find myself standing in a clearing within a dense forest. The moon is full and high in the sky, illuminating the scene before me.

When I get there, I see Uncle Malcolm fighting off five cloaked Watchers. The fighting is almost too fast for my eyes to follow. They seem to be using a combination of just plain brutality and phasing in an attempt to get the upper hand on one another. Uncle Malcolm seems to be trying his best to break through their lines to reach something behind them. I look over and see what it is he’s after.

Mae.

Mae is being held by one of the Watcher’s children who are already transformed by the rise of the moon into a werewolf. The wolf stands tall, well over six feet high, on its backward legs as the other four werewolves around him cower off to the side away from him and Mae. Mae is watching Uncle Malcolm fight and crying hysterically. I’m not completely sure if she’s crying because Uncle Malcolm is fighting or because she’s scared. But, the wolf holding her doesn’t seem to have any intentions of harming her, at least not yet. I assume it won’t do anything to her until it’s given the order to by its father.

I can’t just phase over to her because I’m somewhere I’ve never been before. I have to make it through the line of Watchers to reach my sister, which seems to be the same dilemma Uncle Malcolm is facing.

I pray the fight Uncle Malcolm is putting up is enough of a distraction to allow me to pass by unnoticed and get to Mae.

As I try to sneak by, two of the Watchers abandon the fight with Uncle Malcolm to suddenly phase into my path, forcing me to stop dead in my tracks.

“Get out of my way!” I tell them. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

Neither man says a word. One phases in front of me and the other behind. Both lunge at me at the same time. My hands burst into blue flames, and I grab each of them by an arm, easily breaking their appendages at the elbows until their arms are bent completely backward and they cry out in pain.

“Leave now,” I tell them both through clenched teeth, barely able to hold back the rage I feel towards them, “or I swear to God I will destroy you.”

Both Watchers phase over to their children and grab them before they phase away from the fight.

Seeing what I did causes one of the three Watchers Uncle Malcolm is still fighting to phase over to the wolf holding Mae.

“Give the child to me!” the Watcher orders.

I immediately assume the wolf holding Mae must be this Watcher’s child.

I watch this interaction between the Watcher and his child because I know Uncle Malcolm has his fight well under control when I see two heads roll off to the side and the corresponding bodies crumple to the ground at his feet.
