The Hunted

Chapter 27

The light fated and I was suddenly in what looked like a old horse barn. it was dark but the moons light was seeping through the holes of the roof , there was hay and horse feed in the corner along with some horse riding saddles and bits. Everything looked so old fashioned, but not old, it looked brand new!

i was amazed I have never been back in time before..

Wait how did I even get here?

"WHO ARE YOU?"

I heard a mans voice from behind me

I turned around and saw a young man tied up securely to a wooden chair.

I could not see him very because it was dark.

But from what I could see I noticed he looked worried scared and quite confused and frankly so was I

"Who are you, and why are you tied to a chair?"

I asked the man suspiciously slowly walking closer to him

"I believe I asked first"

He said with arrogance.

You think he would watch his mouth considering that he is the one tied to a chair.

He has got balls iv got to give him that.

I don't have time for this

"what can you tell me about a young girl named faith dupint that came here not to long ago"

I interrogated him, ignoring his request of my name.

He looked at me from across the room with a curious face and said

"Why is it to your concern?"

The less he knows the better and faster this will go

"That's not of your concern!"

i snapped back at him.

" I think she might need my help so if you know anything please tell me now."

He eyed me for a moment then finely spoke

"She does need help. That's why I'm here I tried to help her but I failed. My father set me up.. Some people might even know that he did set me up.

but no one is going to go against the head hunter"

Hunter? His father is a hunter?

That makes him a hunter as well!

"I see, so she was convicted of being a witch by your father, but why aren't joining in? Your a hunter aren't you? Why are you trying to save her?"

Nicklaus POV

how does he know so much about hunters? about faith?

I know he is a witch. That was kinda obvious when he just appeared right in front of me but what does he have to do with all of this?

How is it that he is a male witch, they don't exist!?!

"I always thought all witches were evil and unholy in gods eyes .. It's what my father fed me from the minute I was born."

I explained.

"But he was wrong!

I met Faith and she was different. Nothing like that, nothing at all.

I have fallen in love with the girl and ill do anything to get her out of the mess my father is forcing her to endure.

Lex POV

So a hunter in love with a witch?

I could see the sadness on his face He was telling the truth that was for sure and I could really use the help.

"Alright ill make you a deal.

Ill free you from these bonds and help you save her if you do what I say when I say it.

Are we clear?"

I bargained.

I could tell he looked annoyed but he had to agree to the deal, i mean what other choice does he have?

He looked me up and down I could see he did not trust me at my word.

"Alright but what do you get out of it? I don't take you as the

"act of selflessness" type?"

He said with suspicion plastered on his face.

I just said

"It's a long story"

He nodded down at the ropes that were holding him to the chair.

"Does it look like I'm going anywhere?"

"Alright I'm a hunter like yourself but not from this ti....."

He cut me of so fast and said

"A hunter?!?"

He spat.

"Do you take me for a fool?

I saw you appear in here out of nowhere.

Your not a hunter, Your a male witch!

A wizard like in the fables!"

No one has ever questioned how I do the things I do.

Iv never even questioned myself,

So I can't tell him something that I don't ever understand myself.

so ill just act like I know what I am talking about.

"As I was saying I'm from the future us hunters have grown in strength and power"

He just sat here looking at me as if I where a liar.

"Let's say you are a hunter from the

future...

he started laughing then continued.

"What would any of this have to do with faith? What run out of witches to hunt in your own time?"

"She's from the future as well I ..I sent her here so she could be ahh.. Dealt with. It's what we hunters do in the future.. We find witches and send them back in time.. Back here because we know that the people here will ahh..deal with them"

"That's a really great strategy" he nodded enthusiastically

Then he snapped out of it and yelled

"No that's awful you ripped her from her home, her own timeline!"

"Look I'm sorry.. I didn't know she was "a good one" I just found out that they are not all kill crazy lunatics"

I wish I would of known this sooner I would of never sent her back if I had known!

I felt tears start rolling in my eyes

He was about to say something but stopped him self when he saw my sincere expression.

"We don't have time for this will you untie me so we can go and save her"

I sighed and began undoing the many knots.

"Sneaking one girl out of a prison won't be that hard we have a little time"

I explained.

He looked at me like he forgot to tell me something and then said

"Actually, there's 3."
