Morgan's POV
Monday at school was a boring one. I just listened to the teachers talk as I wrote in my notebook.
I was now driving to Practical Magick. I wanted to do a circle. Yesterday being with Hunter just gave me so much negative energy not from him but from someone else I don't know who. I never felt it before and I wanted it to go away.
I pulled into the parking lot and saw a note on the door. I climbed out of my car and walked to the door.
Closed until Thursday.
What! What was going on? This store is never closed on for holidays but never just on random days.
I felt Hunter behind me I turned around and pointed to the sign.
"It's closed." I said even though he could read the sign.
"Damnit!" He yelled.
"I know." I said weakly not knowing why Hunter felt so strongly about the store being closed. Then I remembered his job and David. He thought David the nicest man in the world was misusing his power.
"Do you know why this would be closed?" He asked me.
I shrugged. "No clue."
I felt someone walking our way. I looked over my shoulder to see it was Alyce another one who works at the store with David.
"Hello, Morgan, Hunter." She said to us with a smile.
I smiled back and her and so did Hunter.
"Alyce, why is the store closed until Thursday?" I asked.
"Well dear there's been some trouble."
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?"
She sighed. "Some trouble paying the bills. David's aunt who owns the store just passed away recently and we might have to sell the store." Alyce's face looked red like she was crying.
"Oh no, I'm sorry, but are you going to move to a new location?" I asked I loved this place it was a second home to me.
"We don't know what we're going to do I might just go back to teaching but I don't know what David would do. This store is all he has he's been working here ever since he's gotten out of college."
I looked over at Hunter whose face I couldn't read.
"Well dear I better go. I have to do some food shopping. I'm all out of tea!" She gave us a nice friendly smile and walked away.
I watched her go into her car and drive off. I looked up at Hunter.
"I better go." I said.
"Want to drive somewhere with me?" He asked.
I smiled. "Sure."
We walked over to his car and drove off. I knew where we were going from the direction he was driving. We were going to the woods. I never really went there often but it was the place me, Robbie, and Bree did our first circle. We did our second one in the corn field.
We reached the woods. We got out of the car and he walked up to me and took my hand.
I couldn't help but smile I could only imagine how red my face was. I never had a boyfriend before and Hunter was my first one and he was so perfect.
We walked over to a long log.
"I can't believe about Practical Magick." I said.
"I know."
I was surprised he didn't say anything about it being David.
"I didn't know he's aunt was still even alive." I said. I knew the store used to be his aunt's but I thought she died years ago.
"Morgan I know you don't believe me about David misusing his powers and everything but I just want you to put it into some consideration that he might be the reason why I'm here." Hunter said to me.
He was right I didn't believe that David would misuse his power. I mean David was one of the nicest men I knew, one of the nicest people. He couldn't be the reason why Hunter was here. I never felt anything weird around David but yesterday I did feel something in the store. It couldn't have been David.
"You don't know David like I do, Hunter, he would never do anything like that."
He looked down at me and smiled. "I know Morgan, but please just think about it did you feel anything at all in the store yesterday?"
I thought in a way I didn't want to tell him because I didn't want to prove that he might be right about the whole David thing. "Yes, but I never felt it before so it couldn't have been David." I told him.
"It still could be he might have been using dark magick yesterday or the day before so the magick was still in him."
"But this was my first time feeling it so it might have been his first time doing dark magick."
He sighed. "It doesn't really mean that it means that the dark magick was still in him."
"But I'm saying it was the first time I ever felt it."
"Do you go there all time when he's working there?" He asked.
"No, but." He cut me off.
"He could have been performing dark magick all along but you were never there to feel it. Morgan I know these things just please consider what I'm telling you."
"I will think about it but why would someone like David even need to use dark magick."
"Morgan, weren't you listening to what Alyce was telling us. David was probably using dark magick so they could keep the store you know it's hard for them the pay the rent." Now what Hunter was saying was making more sense but there was something in me that still didn't want to believe him.
We sat in silence. It felt better now not talking about dark magick. Whenever I talk about it it makes me feel scared like something is going to happen to me.
Cal's POV
It was 8 and Hunter still wasn't home. Bree called again to ask if I wanted to hang at her house, this time I said yes. I was kind of boring if you ask me, all we did was make out and watch TV.
I was now down in the living room watching this show called "America's Next Top Model" I don't know why I was watching it it's too girlie for my liking, the only thing I did like was that the host was hot.
The phone rang, before I answered it I knew it was Hunter's cousin Sky. I didn't like calling her my cousin we weren't related only her and Hunter were.
"Hello." I said into the phone.
"Cal?" Sky asked.
"Yes." We didn't like each other much.
"It Hunter there?"
"No, he should e back soon." I knew she wanted to know where he was and who he was with she was like a mother to him.
I heard her sigh over the phone and mumble something. "Well listen when he comes no matter how late it is tell him to give me a call."
"Yeah, sure."
We both rung up.
I never really knew why Sky didn't like me. She knew my about my mother and she said that she practiced dark magick. I didn't want to believe her she had to be lying to me.
I sat back down on the couch and watched TV.
I must have dozed off because when I woke up Hunter was sitting on the couch next to me.
"What the hell are you watching?" He asked.
I realized the model show was still on and I turned it off.
"I don't know." I rubbed my eyes. "Sky called she wants you to give her a call back."
"Good I was waiting for her to call back."
"Why? What's going on?" I asked.
"She might have to come and stay with us for awhile, she needs to help me out."
"Can't I help?" He always wanted Sky to help and never me I never even knew why I went with him in the first place.
"We need another blood witch." He said and I knew we were going to strip that clerk at the store of his magick.
"Isn't the women who works there a blood witch? So we'd have enough." I said.
"Yes she is but there's still not enough we need five remember?"
"Yeah, me, you, Morgan, Da, and Alyce." I said counting on my fingers.
"Da's coven won't let him do anything involving dark magick remember what happen to mum, my mum."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah."
"So she's going to be coming down."
"How do we know this guy is completely evil anyway?"
"Cal, no one is completely evil."
"Okay well how do you know this guy's is even somewhat evil?"
"Cal, I know these things why do people keep on forgetting I'm a seeker."
I rolled my eyes again Hunter thought he was so great because he was a seeker, oh wait the youngest one too.
"I thought Sky was in France anyway." I said.
"She is but she'll come down."
There wasn't anything Sky wouldn't do for Hunter and it made me sick. Everyone in this damn family cares about Hunter.
"Yeah right, I'm going to bed." I know I sounded pissed off and I didn't care I just walked up to my room not wanting to wake up and then having ot go to school.
