A Search For The Unknown

The tour

They study and came up with different theories until it was time to meet with Thomas to get a tour of the facility and find out everything that is going on. Eric brings a bag with him with equipment to detect spirits and a notebook to write down anything important that they find and a camera for Asher to take pictures of everything that they could so that they could study the pictures for later to make sure they didn’t miss anything. Asher continued to study the information in the envelopes until Eric got a call letting them know that they could go see Thomas and that he would be waiting for them in front of the gates to the facilities.

When they got to the gate of the facility Thomas was standing there waiting for them. There was a woman with him as well. She was dressed in a nice dress shirt and dress pants.

“Hello this is Miss White she is in charge of this facility. She will be helping to give the tour of the facility and to let you know everything that has been happening and where it has been happening.”

Thomas motions his hand at the woman next to him as he says this. The woman had dark brown hair and pale skin so pale it looked like milk. Her eyes are the color of honey. She is tall but not thin. She is a convertible plump. She extended her hand out to Eric.

“ Hello my name is Jessica White, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I presume you are Eric Frank. And this is your son Asher Frank the witch.”

She looks over at Asher as she says this and gives him a grin that shows her distain for his kind. As the witch fell off her tongue with disgust. Eric throw her hand away in anger at the way she spoke toward his son.

“Do you have a problem with witch’s miss White” Eric asked with anger in his voice. This wasn’t the first time he had meet someone who looked down on witch it was common place with hunter but not with normal people. It always angers Eric when people judge Asher for being a witch and assume he is bad or evil before they even get to know him.

“ Of course I do, witches are to blame for what’s happening right now and they are usually to blame when anything bad happens in this country. I was appalled when I heard that a hunter witch was coming to solve our problem. And even disgusted when I heard that Frank had a son with a witch. How disappointed must your family be. To be honest I’m amazed”

“That's enough Miss White, you will not talk to our guest like that. These men are here to help us and if you wish to speak like that to those who offer us help then you don’t need to continue working for us. Please Leave I am too disappointed in you to even look at you right now. Go get Max and tell him he will be helping me give the tour.”

She bowed and walked away not looking at any of them as she left.

“I am extremely sorry about that, I had no idea she had such feelings toward witches, I assure you I would have never allowed her to be near Asher had I known. I am sincerely sorry. I can’t even begin to imagine how awful you must feel, Asher please accept my apologies for her behavior.”

Asher just shook his head with a little pit of sorrow in his eyes.

“It’s alright, I’m use to it a lot of people think poorly of witches. It’s common place for supernatural beings to be thought of as bad since we are different from humans. It’s why we are all still hunted even though few of us do bad things.”

Thomas walked over to Asher and pat him on the back lightly and said “ it not right nor is it far to be mistreated for being different then the ruling class. Witches are amazing people cable of so much more then humans. I hope you never let there words into your heart Asher, you are an amazing person and you work so hard to help others and to be better at your magic. You provide a service that many would be lost without and you have helped to save so many lives. I doubt people like her would feel the same if they had ever truly needed your help or had their life saved by someone like you. I personally am extremely grateful for you coming here to help us.”

Asher smiled up with Thomas with hope in his eyes. Asher’s greatest wish has always been to be accepted and loved for who he is rather then having to always hide who he is. Being a witch is a hard thing to be. The worst part is he didn’t chose to be a witch. He was born this way but on the other it was the only thing he really had from his mom. And using his magic was the only time he felt close to her. But he didn’t remember her anymore or anything about or even what magic she used. He wish he could but he couldn’t. As Asher was lost in his thoughts about his mother a man walked out to meet them.

“ Hello Franks I am max and I will be the new guide of the facility for you. If you can fallow me I will show you around the part of the facility you are allowed to see and show you where the incidents have happened.”

The man was short with a round face and dirty blond hair. He smiled under his glasses and seems happy. They all followed the man inside the facility to see all of the places they need to see and all the things.
