"Where do I begin" I sighed, grabbing a scotch from the mini bar, twisting a streak of red hair anxiously. "Where does this even start? How did I not see this? Not sense this? - Does Da even know? Ha of course he knows – Goddess! He would have known all along! Is that what…."

"Morgan you are now making sense" Mary K frowned worriedly

"Cal" I spat the name "Was my first boyfriend. The beautiful and charismatic Calhoun Blaire - and me foolish and impressionable fell for him. He introduced me to magick, to my heritage…. And he introduced me to heartache, betrayal and evil…."

"I know that already" Mk was confused "What does Cal have to do with anything…Cal's dead"

"Cal's dead" I echoed, draining the scotch in one, noticing Mary K was fiddling nervously with her lip piercing.

"What happened at the church" she pleaded

"Magick - dark magick" I began cryptically. "A spell being woven, I did what any witch would do and followed my sense, letting the Mother Goddess guide me…yet what I saw…Goddess it was impossible. But true - how can it be true" I shook my head and clasped the pentacle about my neck. "I was right about one think - tainted magick. Tainted at the power sink…. But as you know the magick is not tainted itself… it's the person who casts the spell…like I said. A tainted person. Few witches know the forbidden arts"

"Forbidden arts?"

"Shape shifting Mary K. I myself have endured it. Shape shifting, bloodletting, runes from an age I thought long past…"

"Who did you see?" MK asked slowly

"Mary K…. It was he. I was Cal MK. Calhoun Blaire. He and his mother Selene followed Amyranth for years. They are tainted beyond belief. It was Calhoun"

"NO!" she gasped unable to believe it "he's dead - Kennet confirmed it years ago…"

"I know" I concurred frantically trying to make sense of what the hell was going on. "But it was him!! He was conjuring dark magick" I said quickly "but it was incomplete - of course no one would let a mere spell crafter know the entire spell…. Not even Selene knew it…. Few people alive know it! I am one of them… for reasons I will explain later" I rambled "but I felt him, felt his magick, felt him drawing power as he tapped into the leylines…He is alive! and practising magick."

"Cal is alive" she said slowly as if trying to accept what I had just told her "but its…. It can't be can it? I mean why? How?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" I panicked, as the realisation dawned on me, and I knew I had to get a grip. "But the Goddess brought me here MK, I am the sgiurs dan, the charge of Belwicket…and I have to stop him…. if I don't…" rippling fear ran through me as I tried to speak the word all blood witches feared.

"But he tried to kill you!!! " Mary K interrupted "I mean…. you can stop him right…. Your like super powerful… Your this legacy girl right?"

I sighed and faced Mary K "If Only I could lie to myself - but that is not all I bore witness too. Cal is a true heir to darkness, never forget that! Blood was spilt at the leylines - I saw it, smelt it….the air was pulsing with runes. Runes I have only ever seen once in my life…Runes I myself have seen before, runes that when woven correctly can kill"

"I don't understand - Morgan you're scaring me!"

"I cannot stop Cal Blaire Mary K - not when he is summoning the Dark Wave"
