CHAPTER NINE

It turned out that coordinating the fortifications around the farm not only gave me a sense of purpose, but gave me a sense of power as well. Finally, I was actually doing something to help against the Warrens. I no longer felt helpless, and I no longer wanted to flee. In fact, I now felt silly and cowardly for ever having wanted to. Also, the further along I got with the fortifications, the more certain I became that the Warrens would never defeat us Watchers. That was another thing, too. I could now finally say us Watchers without feeling like something of a fraud because I wasn’t a vampire. It felt good and only added to my increasing sense of power.

Coordinating the fortifications around the farm wasn’t an easy task, though. For one thing, it took anywhere from eight to fourteen hours of my time daily, which required Mel and Carol to give me significant help with childcare. Mark also helped with Chrissy, even though he was incredibly busy at his legal practice.

As far as Hayden, he tried to share in childcare duties as much as he possibly could, although that wasn’t much. He was not only leading spying missions daily to try to keep an eye on the Warrens and figure out their plans, he was also leading numerous guard patrols around the farm property day and night.

There was also the matter of keeping an eye on the Warrens whenever any of them went into Sweetwater or other neighboring towns. And when he wasn’t doing all these things, he was thinking about them and making further plans, determined to never let the Warrens surprise us with an attack and hurt anyone on the farm.

Not only were Hayden and I both incredibly busy, we were both very physically taxed, too. My new job maybe shouldn’t have been physically taxing, because I was simply supposed to be coordinating fence-building and defense efforts, but it was anyway because I often couldn’t help myself from joining in the actual construction of the fortifications as well. I certainly didn’t know much about construction of fences, but I soon learned, often digging holes for posts, pouring cement, and helping to install braces that would help fortify the fencing from being overturned.

My new job also required a fair amount of thinking and strategy, requiring me to use my brain in much different ways than I usually did at the creamery. Before overseeing installation of a new length of fencing, I had to first work with Hayden to determine exactly where we wanted the break in the fencing to be, because this would of course determine where the Warrens would enter the farm when they attacked.

However, after a time, I stopped consulting Hayden, confident that I was getting the hang of determining where fence breaks should be myself. This seemed just fine with him and even seemed to be something of a relief to him, because it was just one less thing he had to think about every day.
