Power Watcher by Abbie Davis (chromebook ebook reader TXT) 📖

I looked out the window as when you thought you know someone till they kick you under the bridge. For me that really did happen to me. I had been thrown under a bridge because no one wanted to be there for me. Everyone thought that I was the problem in the world. Maybe they are right.

Let me explain what is all going on. My name is Megan Elizabeth Peterson. I’m the child of lawyers Mickel and Kristen Peterson. They are well known around the world and I’m just thier kid. Now don’t get me wrong I love my parents to death but they are not the problem in my life.

I am eighteen right now and one day they just disappeared. No one knew of the great Petersons. It was like they just got erased from the world. I looked them up on Google and nothing shows my parents. So I went to live with my friend Josh who knew me well. Now there is where it went wrong.

Josh Killings was this kid who I had known my whole life and he was the one that had been there for me. His dad and my dad hated each other but were alright with the two of us being friends. Well you would have thought that I could stay with him for a while to figure out what had happen. And they did let me but they were also the only ones who knew about my family name. The only ones that knew my parents were who they were.

So I did some snooping around and found something that scared me half to death. In their basement was papers on me. The way I did everything was on the wall. The way I had acted and what I loved to do. There was a room of information on me. But that’s not what got me so scared. On a camera was my parents and they were frozen in what looked like a room in some lab.

Josh had came down at that moment and saw that I was in there. He looked at it and finally knew that his dad was using him to get to me. He drove us away and before I could do anything he knocked me out and left me somewhere. Moments later I woke up under the Mississippi bridge at on of it’s banks. I had my things but beside me was Josh Killings dead body. I had no idea what he was doing at the time but I had no idea what had happen.

I got on a plane and flew out to a little place call Monroe since we were really in Mississippi at that time and the car was in the water. I got off and went to a nearby place to see if anyone could help me out. I got lucky and this woman and man took me in. Right now is where I’m looking out the window as they took me to their house.

I was in some blue jeans, a black v-neck shirt, combat boots, and my blue hoodie jacket. I had the hood over my head with my Ipod blasting music in my ears. The woman was looking back at me as I stared off into space.

She was in her early thirties with black hair and blue eyes. She had a tannish skin tone and a bright smile. She wasn’t plump like the man was but at the same time not like a toothpick. She wore a sundress without a hat to fit her style. Her husband was around the same age with brown hair and brown eyes. He had her skin tone and was a little plump like I had said. He was in what could have been sunday school clothes.

I had a hand on my locket that my dad had gave me. It was pure gold and in the shape of a heart with a halo and horns on it. I opened it up and saw my family. We were close and I was an only child. We were smiling sweetly at the camera with the beach in the background. I was sixteen in that one. In the other one on the right side was a picture of them when I was just born. They looked so happy to have me. I missed them more than anything right now.

“You alright honey,”The woman said as I smiled.

“Yeah,”I said taking an earbud out so I could hear her better,”Just thinking about my fam.”

“A Peterson like you should be thinking of that,”The man said as I was shocked they knew who they were,”We do get who they were sweetheart. I was close to your father.”

“How do you though?”I asked not getting it in my head,”I never had met you in my life.”

“He was my best friend,”The man said pulling up to a house in the middle of nowhere Delhi,”When they went missing and the world forgot them of ever living only the ones who really knew them still do. That day your parents sent out a warning for us to kept a lookout for you.”

“Why?”I asked as we got out of the truck he drove.

“For you are special,”The woman said,”I knew your mother like they did. She was knew from the start you were special.”

I nodded as they showed me the room that was prepared for me to stay in. I went in and saw that it was like the one back at home. I ran my hand over the fur cover and felt the pelts of a black panther. I had always hated killing things but this one was fake but felt real. I had clothes there that was what I wear. There was posters of my favorite stories and the fandoms I were in. So Percy Jackson and Harry Potter were all over my walls. The walls were black like night and what I wore was based on the mode I was in.

My bed was on the wall next to a window with a tree by it. I had a desk and chair for my things. There was a tv in the room that was a flatscreen. My floor was carpeted and also a black color. The only thing out of my old room that is not here were the pictures I had taken over the year. I had them in between the posters and they covered the wall. Other than that the room was the same as my old one.

I threw my things on the bed and looked around. I had lived my life in my room and now that it is almost here with me, I can feel that safe feeling again. I looked at the tree next to the window and saw the same tree sitting pad as the one back at home.

“Mom and Dad must have been close to them,”I said smiling at the room,”Home away from home took to the extreme.”

I laughed a little bit and took out my computer as pics of me and Josh were playing on it. He was my best friend and almost my brother. I set it on the desk as I got my speakers and chargers out of my bag as well. I had a backpack and filled it with my laptop, chargers, speakers, and a few clothes and money in it. My life is made up of the tech around me.

“Mom, Dad we’re home,”I heard two male voices say from below me.

“Okay Jace and Lucius,”The woman said,”Oh and someone important is going to be staying here for a while. So be nice.”

“K mom,”They said together.

I stuck my head out of the door a little two see to boys around the same age. One had dark brown hair like his father and the same dark eyes like him as well. That one was taller than the one beside him but look younger than him. The other one had brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He had to be the older one of them both. They went into two different room about a door or so from mine. The brown haired boy was on the other side of the hallway while the taller one was on the same side as me.

I closed the door and looked back at the picture of me and Josh. Josh was my height and age. He had blonde hair and grey eyes. I said that he could have been Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. He said that would have been cool on so many levels. I miss him like crazy.

“Hey there,”I heard someone said as I jumped sky high,”You know spying is not polite.”

“I wasn’t spying,”I said turning to see them both right there,”I was looking outside my door to see who was coming my way.”

“So spying,”The older looking one said,”I’m Jace by the way.”

“I’m Lucius,”The other one said,”You must be our important guest.”

“Okay,”I said going to the bed,”I’m just trying to figure things out. So bye bye now.”

“If you want peace then just ask for it,”Jace said to me,”Come on Lucius.”

They left my room as I looked out at them. I watched them go into their rooms again and I heard the doors shut. I exhaled and went to my computer. I logged in and saw all of my favorite things pop up. I logged into one of my programs as I took out my notebook I had in my backpack. I ran my hand over it and it opened up for me.

I looked at the tablet inside as I hoped my room was sound proof. I smiled as the home page to my blog came up. I took out a bracelet and turned on the tablet like that. A face popped up as someone talked to me that way.

“Hello Megan,”The person said,”How may I help you today.”

“Mathew show me the latest crimes committed in the delhi area,”I said getting my blog ready.

“None have been active,”He said,”But in China someone had just jumped off the Great Wall.”

“Wow,”I said as he pulled it up on my laptop for me,”Do you think the readers would want to hear about that?”

“Let me run it by a few real quick,”He said as I turned on my music to blast the talk away from the others,”Yes they would. I already have ten people wanting to know more about it.”

“So let’s read and write about it then,”I said going over the words.

I’m a blogger and I write about the things people don’t want to go public. My parent think that is what good I can do for everyone. I had over I think a billion of followers or so. But I write to keep the people going on with the news of the world. I was alone in this but I had my notebook and Mathew. My notebook was something to throw people off my tracks when I am in the field. Matthew is my trusty computer networking pale. He is like Jarvis from Iron Man but mine. I made him with my dad when I was eight and my blog been going on since I was six.

You can say my life revolves around the technology I am around. I finished my blog and turned the cover back over on Mathew as Lucius walked into my room. I turned my laptop off and faced him. He was oddly the one that would have done this to me.

“Um mom wants to see you,”He said looking at me,”What were you just doing?”

“Nothing,”I said smiling and grabbing Mathew,”Where is she may I ask?”

“Kitchen,”He said as I walked out the room.

I walked down the stairs and went into the kitchen where she was. I gave her a smile as she had me sit down at a table. I watch her write something down as she was writing when I came down here. I sat
