Yay, first one!

This little "one-shot" (?) will be about Morgan's reaction to Hunter's announcement that he kissed Justine, because we didn't really get to see her reaction. She literally found out, was incredibly hurt, and then Hunter brought out Rose's diary and we didn't see our fabulous couple for roughly 177 pages.

And then there was Eclipse and things seemed to be fine between them. I'm just saying that if I were in a relationship with someone I thought was my soul mate and he so much as flirted with another woman—not to mention the bitch was 24; nice little five-year age difference there, Cate Tiernan—I would do more than cry about being rejected. There would definitely be a silent treatment, maybe a break if he kissed her like Hunter kissed Justine, and I don't give a fuck that it was spelled.

It still happened.

Add that to the bullshit that was Night's Child, and I start to feel like Cate Tiernan has some issue with Morgan and Hunter just being a happy couple. Like, "oh, shit, things are going smoothly for them; let's have Morgan dream about hawks and then almost fall to her death during a dream where Cal is seducing her—that'll be great for the readers!"

I still have issues with Full Circle—sorry.

Just so you all know, I'm basing these one-shots off events from the book, not my version in Chemicals React. As always, I do not own. Sweep (or Wicca in the UK—I actually bought the UK version of book ten from Powell's and then bought the American version after learning that it had been edited for "sexually explicit content.") is the property of Penguin Group and the lovely Cate Tiernan.

"You can stop pacing now," Bree pointed out, lying back on her plushy bed and patting the space next to her. "So Hunter kissed her?"

I nodded, finally taking her suggestion and curling up next to my best friend. "Yeah. Then he proceeded to say that he was sorry and that he loves me."

"Nothing more than that, though, right?"

"I sure as hell hope not." I muttered. "He turned down sex with me before he left, so I really hope not."

"He turned down sex?" she asked, surprise coloring her voice. "Damn, that's…different?"

I laughed, in spite of myself. "I guess you could say that."

She shrugged, and I rested my head on her shoulder. "It just feels like I'm…I don't know, not good enough for him. I mean, he's had sex with other girls before, and I'm still a virgin. How am I not supposed to feel rejected?"

"Did he say why it wasn't right for you guys to be together before he left?"

"He said that it wouldn't be right because he was leaving, and he wanted to be there for me the morning after and…God, the worst part is that I'm more upset for him. His mom died before Yule and his dad came back with him. I understand that he was upset and angry and confused—"

"Yes, so that excuses the fact that he totally broke his commitment to you."

"I didn't say that," I argued, sitting up. "I've never been more angry with him before, and I feel awful about myself. But some horrible part of me understands why it happened. Do I sound crazy?"

Bree just nodded. "A little bit." She said with a smile. "So what're you going to do now?"

"I don't want to break up, because I know he loves me." I said, on the verge of tears again. "I just don't want to be around him for a while."

"What about the circle tomorrow?"

I shrugged. "Feel like skipping with me?"

"Maybe just this once." She said, wrapping her arm around my shoulders. "It could be worse."

"How so?" I mumbled.

Bree rested her head on top of mine. "He could've listened to penis—I think you'd be more hurt had it happened."

"Guess you're right."

"Oh, I know I'm right." She said matter-of-factly, and I couldn't help the little laugh that came out.
