Chapter Ten
Cal's POV
I walked away from the attic door with contempt. It wouldn't be long now, I thought and headed for the library and to Morgan.
I crossed through the hidden door into my late mothers extensive library. I spied Morgan on the other side of the room, laid across the walnut desk and still knocked out.
I headed forwards to speak to the four guards surrounding the table.
"You can leave now" I ordered them. "I can handle it from here."
Reluctantly they moved from their posts and headed out the door. I could tell they thought I was inadequate for such an important mission. Whatever.
I lent over her still body and whispered her name in an attempt to wake her. (AN Oh I just wanna smack him out) it seemed to go for eternity but only lasted an instant as I watched her, her eyelids fluttering, and opening to reveal her beautiful brown eyes.
"Morgan, Morgan" I said, gently shaking her shoulders. I watched as her eyes opened wide in shock as she recognised me. Well she did think I was dead after all. She gasped and scooted back only to fall off the side of the desk.
I raced around to help her up. I reached down for he hands but she pulled away and glared up at me.
"This is impossible. This can't be real" she tried to convince herself. "You were cold. You were dead."
"No Morgan. I'm here and I'm alive. I was resc-"
"I know you were rescued" she interrupted. "I saw it, all that happened. I know why you're here but you can't be."
"I am Morgan. I love you, don't you see. I saved your life. Selene would have taken your powers and killed you. I stopped her."
"You were to late. You had already tried to kill me yourself and now you're here to kill Hunter but I won't let you. Tell me where he is" she stood up, anger growing on her face.
"See that's where the problem is. I can't tell you where he is unless you agree to help me" I put my hand up, feeling her cast her sense. "And there's no pint searching for him, this house is well spelled. But if you help me, maybe his life will be spared."
"I will never help you and I will not let you hurt him. I love Hunter and I will do anything to save him," Morgan proclaimed. I glared over at her, hating Giomanach for how he changed her.
"Well I'm sorry Morgan but that will not happen. You won't save him unless you join us."
"Us?" Morgan asked, looking confused.
"Yes, us" said a voice from the door. We both looked across the room to see Ciaran MacEwan strolling towards us.
"Keep your cool Sgath. You won't be able to threaten the girl, you have to persuade her" Ciaran advised me, glancing over at Morgan with a strange expression on his face, like he was trying to recall a long lost memory.
I heard a sudden, huge crash from the upper floors that rattled the shelves in the library. Damn it no.
"Giomanach" I growled. He was trying to escape.
"Hunter" Morgan exclaimed, a smile reaching her face. I turned to Ciaran. "Stay here and watch the girl, I'll deal with the Seeker. See if you can get any information out of her, like if the council knows if we're here or not" I asked Ciaran.
He gave a small nod as I turned and headed for the stairs, ready to do away with Giomanach once and for all.
