The Hunted

Chapter 24

Nicklaus POV

______________________

I woke to the faint smell of eggs sizzling I opened my eyes and let them adjust to the bright morning sun

I look down at my shirt confused starting to remember that it should be covered in blood

I turn looked down and I see faith on a chair, right next to my bed she has her head resting on my bed along with her arms.

Had she been there all night?

I don't understand how anyone could look that beautiful while sleeping in that uncomfortable looking position.

Her beautiful black hair had now turned almost completely blonde.

She looked like an angel, just sleeping there, vigilant at my side.

I knew in my heart that she was one of Gods creatures, and that their is no way even an ounce of evil existed inside her.

I sat up and leaned my back against the headboard.

Just as I did faith woke violently up and jumps on top of me giving me the biggest hug possible and almost yelled

"It worked , it really worked! Im so glad your ok!"

"What worked?"

I asked, dazed and a little confused.

"Wait, you don't remember?"

She said pulling out of the hug, suddenly realizing the awkward position she had placed herself on me, she blushed deep red.

"All I remember is that I was pierced with a arrow that came out of nowhere..."

"And then you brought me here and I must have passed out , I should be hurting right now? Why I'm I not hurting?!"

I look down and lift up my shirt and put my hand where the arrow went in and there is nothing no blood no pain, no scar , nothing!!

Grateful as I was to be unharmed, it was unearthly!

"Faith what happened last night?"

I asked this time very very confused.

She looked as if she were trying to find the right words to say then she looked up at me again and said

"What do you remember happening?"

"That we were.." I stuttered as I remember that we kissed

"And then someone shot me with a crossbow and you helped me get it out with your?"

"Telekinesis" she said finishing my sentience

"And then you took me to a bed and I guess I passed out "

She looked as If she wished that I would remember more so she would not have to explain

"I healed you with my mothers power "

She said looking down at her hands

"Ann is a witch, And your mother?"

"Yes and Clare is not my sister the day she came to defend me when I was on trail was the first time I ever set eyes on her "

I found that very hard to believe because they fought like sisters

"Your mother has the power to heal and you switched your power of telekinesis so that your power of repellence would work on a hunter so you could heal me."

I answered for her.

"Its called repellence? Wait how did you know that my powers work on hunters?" She asked looking at me confused

"I don't know maybe seeing you slam my father against a tree was a big clue " I said sarcastically trying to make her smile.

Then I remembered that my father came to the barn when I was shot maybe he wanted to help me maybe he is after the person who shot me he needs to know I am ok

"My father he needs to know I am ok"

I said starting to get up off the bed but then faith pushed me back down and said

"Are you crazy? "

Then she looked at how confused I was and took my hand

"Your father was the one who shot you, he saw you with me!"

I looked at her not believing a word she was saying would he really do that to me? He was probably aiming for Faith but still would he really risk hitting me instead of her?

"I don't believe my father would do something like that" I almost yelled but then see her face go sad and she sad

"He did and I don't think going back to see him now is the best idea"

I want to see him but I need time to think about what he had done just then I felt really hungry I must have slept in till high noon.

Faiths POV

"I smell eggs " he said with a hungry looking smile

"Yes you want to go eat some"

He nodded and we walked down stars and I seen Clare sitting down on a chair looking anxiously at my mother putting the eggs on a plate.

Clare jumped up as soon as she seen Nicklaus

"Do you want me to tie him up?!" she said looking down at a rope that she already had ready!

"Why would you do that" he said looking at her pretty confused and a bit mad.

"Hmm maybe because you and your father are out to kill our kind, yeah I think that's it!"

"Clare knock it off already"

"So I can't tie him up?" She asked sounding a bit disappointed

I looked at her annoyed then I just grabbed Nicklaus hand and took him to the table and walked back to Clare and said

"He is not going anywhere"

How can you trust him?"

She said looking at him sitting there looking at my mom getting him some eggs

"Do you trust me"?

"Of corse bu...

"Good then you can trust him"

With that I walked to the table and looked at my mom, I already told her everything that happened last night she knows that I trust Nicklaus so that's good enough for her

I have never seen anyone eat as fast as Nicklaus I guess he was really hungry

"Thank you "he said to my mother then continued

"Not just for the eggs but for helping save my life I owe you ..all of you I always thought all witches were evil but now that I have seen what you have done for me I am certain that you 3 can't be. "

He said respectfully.

My mother looked at me and smiled

"I still think we should tie him up" Clare said jokingly

Just then there was a loud banging on the door and a mans voice called out

"we have you surrounded come out now witches or we will burn the place to the ground"
