A/n: My sincerest apologies for the delay in posting – lack of internet and been real busy etc big nightmare, I've found away around it temporarily now so hopefully I can get all my fics up to date again. Anyway here's the next chapter of Twisted Reality. Please submit those wonderful reviews and Enjoy!
Several days later Morgan and Hunter arrived in Taunton, Somerset. The town Hunter grew up in.
They took a taxi to the apartment they were now renting all set up for them by the council
"Does anything seem familiar?" Morgan asked,
The majority of Hunter's memory had returned but some parts were still foggy
"Yeah," Hunter said, taking in all the sights, "It's changed a bit,"
Morgan smiled, "Yeah it has a little, I lived here for about 8 months once, well not here but the next town to here"
Hunter stopped and looked around as if something was coming back to him
"Hunter? What is it?" his concerned girlfriend asked
"I don't know… I think, this way." He said vaguely changing direction, he walked quickly and Morgan struggled to keep up
"Hunter?" she asked, "What is it? Are you Okay?!"
Finally about five minutes later he stopped in front of a modest house with a red door
"This is where I used to live before my parents…"
Morgan placed an arm around Hunter to offer him support,
"There are still traces of my dads craft around the house, its not very clear but it's there"
"I see it," Morgan said
Hunter turned and looked at the houses on the other side of the road, "If that's my old house that must mean…" again he trailed off and walked across the road Morgan following behind
"That's it," he stopped at another house with a blue door,
"Who's house is this?" Morgan asked
"My uncle Beck's" Hunter said
This house had fresh spells placed around it for protection and peace, definitely his uncle Beck's work, Hunter didn't know how he knew but he just knew, like looking at a daisy and thinking 'daisy'
He opened the gate and walked towards the front door, he knocked lightly and shortly a young girl of about 16 opened the door with light blonde hair
"Hi," she smiled, "Can I help you?" she asked and took a bite of the apple she held in her hand
"Gwen!" Hunter smiled and he pulled his cousin into a hug
"Sorry do I know you?" she asked once he released her
"Gwen, it's me, Hunter!"
"Goddess" she breathed and dropped her apple, "It's like looking at a ghost, we thought you were dead,"
"Did uncle Beck tell you that?" Hunter said, Gwen nodded, "Well he wiped my memories and shipped me off to America" he explained
"What? Why would he do that?" she asked
"Because Beck knows best," he said rather bitterly
"Hunter," Morgan said softly touching his arm signalling him to calm down
"Are they home?" he asked his long lost cousin
"Yeah, mum and dad, are in the circle room with Sky, Cara, Faith and Aurora having a circle," she explained
"Why aren't you down there with them?" Hunter asked
"I just got in from my piano lesson," she explained, "Oh Goddess I'm sorry, I'm being rude, please come in, it's freezing out there. Sorry I'm still in shock, I mean you're alive! I can't believe it"
"I know" Hunter said, he and Morgan followed her into the kitchen
"Tea?" Gwen offered
"Please," Hunter nodded
"That would be wonderful, thank you," Morgan said
"Sorry in all this mess I didn't take your name" Gwen apologised,
"I'm Morgan," she smiled at her,
"Nice to meet you Morgan, I'm Gwen, Hunter's little cousin, are you his girlfriend?"
Morgan nodded, "Yes, I am" she smiled again
She stood waiting for the kettle to boil, "They should be finished soon," Gwen said trying to fill the silence, "So if you're alive does that mean Linden and Alwyn…?"
Hunter shook his head, "I'm sorry Gwen, no, they're not"
Gwen nodded mournfully, she reminded Hunter so much of his sister Alwyn and again missed his lost siblings with a powerful ache
"Here we are," Gwen said a few moments later producing two cups of camomile and rose hip tea
Then the three of them turned their head to the door that led down to the basement – the circle room as the door opened.
The first to appear from the door stopped dead in his tracks
"Giomanach?" his voice cracked
"Hello Beck,"
