The Night Watch Waters Novel Novels & Stories

EZREAL’S POV Then I saw it. Three lines that were written darker than the rest. ‘When the Watcher sleeps. When the Bell does not ring. When thorns remember why they were grown.’ My mouth went dry. Vincent noticed immediately. “Boss, what did you see?” I swallowed. “The Bell.” Aiden’s eyes widened. “The old chapel bell.” “Which hasn’t rung since the schism,” Baron finished. “Because it cracked.” “And the Watcher,” I added, dread curling tight in my gut, “is the constellation Malrick followed. It ‘sleeps’ during the new moon.”

“Mama you know that God is watching us, he will protect my papa” I prayed hard in my mind “God protect my papa , do not let the soldiers meet him” the night was silent, peaceful and blissful. The creaking of the woods, the whistling of the night, the gentle swirl of breeze all set in motion to innovate such a moment that I would depict as “pulchritude”. How could evil exist in such a serene environment, the philosophy of life is incomprehensible, a compendium that you could never ever finish reading and can’t even understand a full written decrypted page.

Talia and Remus stood side by side, the night watch an intimate isolation that wrapped around them with the promise of the forbidden. The night was clear and still, the air a sharp, living presence that filled the space with life and the thrill of the unknown. The ship cut smoothly through the ocean, its movement a bright, rhythmic energy that filled the space with the thrill of risk and the unexpected. The darkness around them was a vivid, uncontained force, a soft, living presence that filled the space with life and the thrilling promise of the unknown.

Old legends of experiments and forbidden magic. Zoey’s face flashed in my mind, her soft smile, the small life growing inside her. My hand tightened into a fist. I could not, would not, let this threat come near her. “Double the patrols tonight,” I told Ronald quietly. “Silent rotation. No gaps, no excuses. If anything moves out there, I want to know before it breathes.” He nodded, his usual sarcasm stripped away. “Consider it done.” We reached the watchtower at the edge of our land just as a low fog began to roll in from the river. The moonlight turned it silver, eerie and beautiful, but I felt no wonder, only the crawling awareness that something unseen was already moving within it.

I’m on the dorm roof before I’m fully awake, barefoot, Hellebore Mist already humming across my back. The others are right behind me (no one needs to be told when the sky changes its mind). Above us, the bruised-twilight sky has split open in a perfect vertical line. Through it I can see the real Black Sea at midnight, black water lit from below by something ancient and angry. A single line of Deep Script burns across the water, visible even from here: COME HOME, DAUGHTER OF STORMS. Remy steps up beside me, braids loose in the wind, golden eyes reflecting the underwater glow.

I nodded and stood up from the table and went to the corridor window that looked out over the front drive and the closed gates and the dark road beyond them and stood there with my arms crossed and watched the night. The fountain was running. The estate was completely still. Somewhere forty minutes away a convoy was assembling and Dante was in one of those vehicles and the thing that had started in an alley behind Benedetti Square on a Tuesday night with a gunshot and twelve steps was finished and we were all still here and that was everything that mattered. I stayed at the window. Elena brought tea and set it on the windowsill beside me without saying anything and went back to the kitchen a

Salt? I sat up straighter as Dante turned into a quieter road, the city noise fading behind us. Ahead, dock lights glittered over dark water, casting long silver streaks across the surface. Boats rocked gently in their slips, and farther out, the black water stretched wide and endless beneath the night sky. Then I saw a yacht.

The man started to laugh a little bit until he saw my eyes. "The girl you have tried so hard to protect. She is being watched carefully. In fact I'm sure she will soon be with her precious parents soon enough." He then spit blood at me. I jumped out of the way as I grabbed the gun from my side and placed a bullet into his skull.

At night, she hears whispers in the water. On the third night, Evelyn sees a flickering light drifting down the river. She follows it—drawn by something she doesn’t understand—and finds a wooden boat with a burning lantern and an old journal inside. The pages are filled with entries from a woman named Alara who speaks of binding spells, river spirits, and a curse upon her bloodline. The last page is stained and unreadable

Every water she had drowned that evening was with a motive of quenching her thirst, still her throat went suddenly went dry after every gulp. She couldn't blink. Couldn't think. The only thing she could do was reread the words... again and again... and over again. What could it mean? What could the person know? Those were the thoughts running through her mind. That night, she didn't sleep. She stared wide-eyed, folded under her duvet, even though beads of perception were rolling down her brows from the hotness of the weather, she couldn't bring herself to let go of the duvet that seemed to be the only form of protection she had from the person.
