The Eyes of Death Book 1 - The Taru

Chapter 17

** Present day during breakfast **

"So what do you remember Dear?"

"My weapons, who I was back when they were created and how to use them. It just got back to me."

"So how do they work?"

"Not sure I should do that here with everyone watching" I wanted to try them alone first, just to make sure I wasn't just crazy.

Francine looked at me and smiled "Besides, its our honeymoon after all".She squeezed my hand and took a bite from an apple.

We finished our meal together in silence and went for a walk outside.

I really liked walking in nature "This place is incredible, I love it."

Francine was looking at me with a big stupid smile since we got out for our walk. "What is it Fran? You keep looking at me with this stupid grin on your face."

She pointed upwards "Look up, notice something strange?"

I looked up, and at first didn't know what to look for, the sky was blue, the sun full and rising.... Then it hit me, I was outside and nothing was happening "I am not burning??? How did that happen?"

She seemed to be as stunned as I was "not sure, but you are handling it like a pro. You are even making a few jealous back in the house. She pointed towards the house where more then a few vampires where eyeing us jealously behind almost closed curtains.

"How did I do this?"

"I suspect it's got something to do with your memories."

Then it hit me "WHY did you try to take me outside, I could have died."

She just smiled "Call it a hunch! That and you didn't even think twice about getting out when we did it."

"I hate you!"

"No you don't, you are smiling." She was right, I was.

We walked for a while and I noticed that our guards were nowhere to be found. "Say where are the guards, I can't see them or even sense them anywhere."

Francine was alert instantly "You're right they are gone. I can't find them telepathically. This is bad. She looked around us and I could feel she was scanning with all her senses.

"I can feel presences all around us." I said.

*switch to mental communications btw* she replied mentally.

*Ok! No problem. How many are they*

*I can count ten maybe more. Also I think the guards are unconscious, I can't smell death anywhere*

*Good at least there is that good news*

I concentrated, I needed to find them myself. At first I couldn't locate anyone, but then I remembered Mike's instructions and focused on all my senses. Suddenly I could feel a few minds, one left, one in front. I concentrated on them and used their senses to had to mine.

Suddenly parts of forest started mapping itself in my mind, permitting me to find three more agents, linking to them I soon had enough info to map the entire place. A total of twelve templars were around us, though I could feel that someone else was here and very well hidden. I could not even read who it was from the minds I connected to. I forwarded the info to Francine who instantly linked to my little collective.

*Do you know who or where that last guy is?* I asked her

*Not sure myself, but they seem to be watching us, wonder why they don't attack*
