The night air was chilling against Annie's bare fingers.  She welcomed the feeling of the cool night since the day had been rather hot.  After watching Alec work at the library for so many hours, the stale air and rotting old books had really started to bother her.  She watched from the rooftops, keeping herself invisible to the mortal world.  She casually hopped from roof to roof of the college buildings as she watched Alec walk across the campus as he routinely did after work.<br/>Though she was his watcher, she didn't pry into his thoughts.  She could do it if she wanted to, but it always felt rather wrong to her.  He had a right to his privacy, just like all people did.  She also chose to have a magic barrier placed around his dorm room so he would be safe while he was asleep.  With the barrier, his room was a sanctuary against monsters and none of the creatures were allowed to enter unless she permitted it.<br/><br/>She did always wonder what went on in his head though.  She would follow him as he did his usual routines, and he would never see her.  And since she chose to be polite and stay out of his thoughts, she found her job rather boring.  Nothing had attacked him in the last year so she usually just walked around at Alec's side.  She yawned, more as a joke to herself; after all, Watchers did not require sleep in order to function. As she kept an eye on him, noticing the usual dark circles rimming his eyes.<br/><br/>["Those nightmares are still bothering you, huh?"]<br/><br/>No one could hear her speak since she wasn't visible on the mortal plain. But expressing her thoughts out loud, even if no one could hear them, made her feel a bit better.  She  hadn't interacted with any other Watchers for some time now. It had been about 1,460 days since she had spoken to another being.  It didn't bother her anymore honestly, but...on occasion she did get a little lonely.<br/><br/>Then a whisper came to her.  One she hadn't heard for a while.  It was a strange sensation that ran up her spine, signaling that a creature was nearby and on the prowl.<br/><br/>["Shit..."]<br/><br/>She thought as she hopped off the roof easily and started walking by Alec; she was still invisible to him.<br/><br/>{'He needs to pick up the pace....theirs a level 3 demon coming...'} she thought.<br/><br/>The biggest rule for a Watcher was to never interfere with the lives of the chosen.  They had to keep their lives utterly normal and never let them know about the monsters that wanted to kill them.<br/><br/>She drew one of her weapons, a long sword that had a blade that shone sky blue.<br/><br/>{'We still have a little ways to go...we need to move faster...'} She thought.<br/><br/>Revealing herself wasn't forbidden, but it was a last resort.  She could tell the monster was rather large too, something that would definately kill him in an instant if he didn't get running.<br/><br/>She put her sword away, in order to appear normal and took a few steps back before releasing her seal.  She made herself visible to the mortal world and started to walk up to Alec.  She was wearing a pink tank top with a black hoodie and blue skinny jeans to fit into society.<br/><br/>She walked besides Alec, "excuse me?  Sir?  I need you to come with me.  Now." she said with a serious look on her face.
