The Hunter: The Life of Louise

Chapter 23

Matilda is just staring at Amon. "Who did you see?" She asked him. "An old friend from when I was human." He tells her. "Can't believe that my sister is dating a vampire. Are you cold?" She asked him. Amon just stared at her. "So your question is not the fact that I'm a vampire and I said I was with your sister which I could be lying about just to kill you, but if I was cold." Amon can't help but laugh. "It's not that funny it's a genuine question. Plus if you was going to kill me I doubt you would've gotten your ass kicked or let me loose." She states. "Lou did say that you was dipsy." He says still laughing. "Lou said I was dipsy? That I don't believe." Matilda tells him. "Fine. She said you was a fucking mong. I was trying to be nice." He says smiling and holds out his hand which she takes and goes to shake.

Amon being very old, takes her hand and kisses the back of it which makes Matilda giggle. "I was expecting colder. That monster said that your name was Benjamin. Funny vampire name." Matilda tells him. "Well I have a soul." He tells her. "Like Angel from Buffy?" She asked him quite excitedly. "Similar but I wasn't cursed with mine, I've always had one hence why I fight the good fight. How did you end up here?" He asked her. "Well I was round Brookfield and I came across the big guy, tracked him here." She tells him. "You see a monster and instead of killing it, you decided to follow it." Amon says raising one eyebrow.

"There's been girls being killed and having missing body parts, so I see a monster who looks like Frankenstein I'm going to follow to see if he has a girl." She tells him. Amon holds out his wrist and begins typing on his keyboard and a holographic image of crime scenes pop up. "Oh shit, he's trying to bring Carly back." He started, then looks at Matilda. "He wanted your virgin heart didn't he?" He says to her. "Yea. I should really just have sex with my boyfriend." She tells him.

"No. Have sex when you are ready and not before. So we know what he's doing, just need to figure out how." Amon says to her. "You mean how he's going to bring her to life?" Matilda asks him. "Yea, because he didn't know magic as I couldn't sense any on him." Amon tells her. "Well he did portal away." Matilda states. "No. Someone else did that. You said that a woman was behind you and she had black eyes. She must be the one with magic." Amon states.

Matilda just looks at him confused like he believes that any magical person could bring back the dead. "You mean a necromancer?" She asked him. "Yes but necromancy is only for the Gods of the underworld and the only human to do it is Morgan le Fay but no one has seen her for centuries." Amon tells her. Matilda types on her keyboard and drawings and articles about Morgan le Fay pop up. "I did research on the Fylde Hag as she's escaped and it turned out that her mother was Morgan le Fay." She tells him. Amons eyes widened. "Megan's awake?" He asked her.

"Did you know her?" Matilda asked him. "Not really, only by reputation. Who's her father?" Amon asked. "Pyro the immortal." She states. Amon pulls out his phone and rings Pyro. "You have some nerve ringing me after you killed my father." He says angrily. "Why you so mad? You hated your dad, I honestly thought I'd be doing you a favour." Amon states.

Pyro begins to laugh. "That you did, what can I do for you old friend?" Pyro asked him. "Your daughter Megan is awake, have you seen her?" He asked. "How long has she been awake for?" Pyro asked with concern. Amon looks at Matilda who's mouths about a year. "About a year." Amon tells him. "If my daughter has been awake for any length of time she would have visited me by now. Unless her mother has taken her." Pyro says to him. "Morgan le Fay?" Amon asked him.

Then Pyro laughed again. "You met your cousin didn't you?" Pyro laughed down the phone. "You knew what she did to him?" Amon growls down the phone. "Not just him, your whole family can never leave the grounds, never move on, having to live as ghost. She really hates you all especially you and your father." Pyro tells him. "Why would she hate us. I've never met her." He states sounding very confused. "Aww you don't remember your own grandmother?" Pyro asked him, then it seems like Amon just clicks. "Vivian Nelson is Morgan le Fay?" Amon asked him. "My aren't you clever, have fun old friend, I have a very hot blonde Hunter waiting in bed for me bye." Pyro says and hangs up.
