About The Author

Introduction

Hello, all who read this.

Her name is Maka (a Native American Sioux name meaning earth). Growing up she had loving parents. She had no brothers or sisters, but she also had an uncle who was always around. Like other children, she was read fairy tales, went to school, and had friends and hobbies. Maka went to church with her parents every Sunday. She was even in the church choir for a while. She was taught right from wrong and that there was good and evil in this world of ours. Plus, there were cults and organisations that were also good and bad that had their own rules and agendas, and it was up to the individuals to choose whether or not to join them.

Maka was soon to find out that she had always been a part of such an organisation one that dealt with the supernatural on all levels. This organisation had been around for a very long time, a very, very, very long time. We’re talking about millennia. The organisation had worked for private citizens and churches and so on for all that time.

Maka was about to find out that, when she was called, she had no choice. Her life would not be her own from then on. And to those she knew, she had vanished gone away never to be seen again. Her so called uncle was not her uncle. He was a watcher, who was there to teach, guide, and protect his charge always.

All the different martial arts and weapons she had learned to use throughout her life will come in handy. And what she’ll see and do will change her life forever.

But the question is, Will that change be for the better or worse? We will see.

Chapter 1

M aka was 17 years old when her life changed. Was it for the better or for the worse?

One day she was at home having a normal life with her parents and extended family, who loved her very much and took care of her. Maka had friends to talk to, play with, and go out with. Then one day, everything was different.

Maka was listening to some music and cleaning her room when she heard a car pull into the drive. The car door opened and then banged shut. She heard footsteps walking up the gravelled drive and then a loud knocking at the door. Maka stopped what she was doing and walked over to the window. There, in the drive, was a black SUV with tinted side windows and big wheels and hanging on the rear-view mirror was a blue dolphin with a small wooden cross. Maka knew that car. It was her uncle’s. But her parents had not said he was coming around. She wondered why he was here.

Maka walked over to the radio and turned the volume down. She thought she might be able to hear what her parents and uncle were saying. But the next thing was Maka’s dad’s voice calling her downstairs. So she turned off the radio, opened the door, and shouted, Just a minute, Dad! I just want to finish

But before she could finish the sentence, he shouted again. Come down here now! Please, Maka!

Maka had never heard that tone of voice before. It was strange and unnerving, but she did what he asked.

As Maka was walking down the stairs, she looked over the banister into the front room. She saw, standing next to her mum, her dad. Her mum was sitting in the big armchair by the fire, and her uncle Stephen was leaning against the fireplace, warming himself by the roaring log fire. The flames seemed higher than usual, and the heat was stretching out into the hall and around the house like a vapour.

Maka’s dad must have heard her coming down the stairs. He turned his head and looked at her. His face had a concerned look on it. Then he turned back and picked up some wood and gently placed it onto the fire. She heard it crackle and bang as the flames engulfed it.

Maka’s mum did not turn around, but Uncle Stephen turned and smiled and then asked her to come in and take a seat.

So she continued walking down the stairs and into the front room. She sat down to the left of her uncle and said, What’s up? What’s going on?

Maka’s uncle said, It is time.

Time for what? she asked.

Maka looked at her parents for answers or was it comfort? but there was nothing. They did not look at her.

Then her dad instead reached into the store and grabbed another piece of wood. He put it on the fire, where the heat and the flames made it crackle and bang.

Her uncle, You are being called, and you must come with me.

Maka did not want to go anywhere. She did not want to leave her parents, her home, and her life.

He smiled at her and said, It is time you know everything.

She wondered, What is he talking about?

Maka stood up to leave, and her mum grabbed her hand. It was warm because of the fire, but it was also shaking. So Maka turned her head and looked at her. Her mum’s eyes were red like she’d been crying.

Her mum held her hand tight and said, Please sit down, Maka. There are things you need to know that we have not told you that we thought we would never have to tell you.

Maka didn’t understand what she was saying, but her mum held her hand so tightly that she couldn’t leave. She sat back down, thinking, What the hell is going on here?

Once she was seated, her mum let go of her hand, looked up to her dad, and said, Nigel, I can’t stand this. I can’t stay here. I must go.

Maka’s dad, looking down into her mum’s eyes, said, I understand, Sharon.

At that point, her mum stood up from her chair and passed by her dad, briefly holding his hand. Then she walked out of the room to the bottom of the stairs and, holding a handkerchief to her eye, went up the stairs to their bedroom. She didn’t look back once.

At that point, her dad moved from the fireplace to the chair her mum had just gotten up from, sat down next to Maka, and briefly put his hand onto hers. Then he moved it away quickly.

Maka was getting very concerned. Tell me what’s going on! she shouted. What’s wrong with Mum? Why has she left?

Then Maka looked at her dad and Uncle Stephen for answers, and they looked at each other like they were using telepathy to communicate searching for answers to give her.

Uncle Stephen looked at her and said, I am not your uncle. I’m a watcher. I was assigned to you before you were born to watch over you and to make sure no harm came to you while you were growing up. I’ve also taught you skills you will need to stay alive.

What was he talking about? Was Maka’s whole life a lie? Was he next going to say her parents were not her parents? She looked at him and said, Carry on with your story, Uncle Stephen. She was thinking this was like the stories he used to tell her when she was younger. But she was to find out that neither this one nor the others were stories. They were all true.

There is good and evil in the world, and you police it of sorts, he said. You were chosen before you were born to do this, and this is why you must come with me now. It is your destiny.

What? she replied, stunned.

Uncle Stephen said, This is all I can tell you now. The rest will become clear when we get to where we’re going and where you’ll be living. But we must go now before it becomes dark and too late.

What about the things I need? Maka asked.

Uncle Stephen said, Your things will be brought to you. We must go now. Think of it as an adventure of seeing and doing new things.

She still wasn’t sure. She looked at her dad.

He said, Your mother and I don’t want you to go. We thought this day would never come, but it has. I know you will make a difference and make us proud. We will come and see you and keep in touch.

Maka could see his lip wobble a little and his eyes start to fill up. She stood up and her dad stood up too. She hugged him tightly and then said, I love you so much. See you soon.

Maka then looked to where Stephen used to be, but he had moved to the hallway nearer to the front door. He said, We must go now.

Maka let go of her dad and started to walk to where Stephen was waiting for her. But then she stopped, turned around, and said, Tell Mum I love her a lot too, and I will see you both very soon. Yes?

Maka’s dad nodded

She turned back around and said to Stephen, Let’s go while I can.

They both turned to the front door, and Stephen opened it. They both walked through it to the SUV parked in the drive. He opened the back door for her, and she got in. Then he closed the door. She put on the seat belt.

Stephen got into the driver’s side and put on his seat belt and then started the car.

Maka turned around and saw her dad standing in the doorway waving at her. She waved back at him.

But something caught her eye. She looked up and saw her mum in the window. Her mum was crying, waving, and mouthing, I love you.

At that moment, Stephen pulled out of the drive and drove down the road.

***

Maka opened her eyes. She did not know how much time had passed or what had happened. One minute, they had been driving down the road from her home, and now she was in the middle of nowhere with Stephen. The road was quiet, and at either side, trees were packed together. One might call them woods.

The sun was going down. The sky was changing colour, from blue with fluffy white clouds to red and yellow streaks. The sunset looked so beautiful.

Maka asked
