Nine years later she returns to her family and to Hunter but what awaits her back home?

"Oh Goddess, No!" He cried out, tugging at his chains, "Justine, please, let me out, she needs me"
Justine just seemed to laugh, "No Hunter, in time you will see she isn't the one for you, I am"
"No Justine, nothing will make me love you, not even Magick, you know love spells don't work, never in the way they're intended! You can't do this to me, I need her. She's having my child Justine!" he cried
Once again Justine felt the tugging of guilt on her heart and shook herself out of it, this is what she deserved, Hunter was rightfully hers, after all it's his payment for destroying her life's work.
She looked at him bound, helpless, his eyes weeping with tears and couldn't stomach the guilt no more, Hunter was hers now and he was going to stay that way! She left the room and closed the door hearing Hunter scream out obscenities at her.
Back in the cell Hunter broke down, "Morgan!" he cried, "I'm so sorry, Love, I'm sorry,"
The love of his life was in labour with his child and he needed to be there, he lifted both his chained hands to his eyes he wiped his tears, "Think, Niall, think!" he encouraged himself.
Look at me, he thought, I was once a feared seeker and now here I am, locked up by a psychopath. Pathetic Niall, Pathetic.
He looked all around the room for anything, any object that he could use for his escape, eventually his eyes locked at the flower pinned to his tail suit.
"Brilliant" he said
Cleverly manoeuvring his hands used the pin to pick the locks around his wrists and then around his ankles, his powers were still bound so all he had to do now was wait for Justine to come back, he picked up his shackles which were heavy and stood behind the door, waiting…
"Where. Is. He…?" Morgan groaned
"Morgan, I need you to concentrate on your baby right now, okay sweetie?" Georgina said, who was Morgan's midwife, "There's probably going to be some complications"
"We just need to keep breathing evenly," Mary K said and went through the breathing exercises with her
"Good Morgan, keep it up," Georgina said
"I can't" Morgan cried, "Hunter needs to be here!" she cried
"Talk to her Mary K" Georgina ordered and walked across the room to get the heart rate machine, and other equipment.
"Morgan, honey, you need to think about your baby, she's coming early so there could be problems, stress got you into this situation you have to admit the fact that Hunter won't be here, we'll get him back but only after we're done here,"
Sky walked over to Georgina, "How is she doing?" she asked her
Georgina glanced over at Morgan, "Not good, her panicking over Hunter isn't helping, if she wants it or not, I'm going to have to give her an epidural and maybe something else to reduce her stress, hopefully we can find something that won't harm the baby,"
"How long do you think we'll be at this?" Sky then asked
Georgina shrugged, "It's hard to tell, but my guess is a long time,"
Sky walked over to Morgan and kissed her forehead, "Okay Morgan I'm going to go for a bit but I'll be back soon to check on you okay?"
"Where are you going?" Morgan moaned
"I just need to get something from back at the house, okay?" Morgan nodded through her pain
Sky placed her hand on Morgan's head and felt the sweat drenched hair that made her hair clump together like rope, she murmured a small soothing spell that immediately seemed to ease her friend.
"Look after her," she told Mary K, "I'll be back soon" Mary K nodded and took her sisters hand and Rachel took her other hand
With that Sky ran out the delivery room and outside to her car. Sky wanted to cry her beloved cousin was missing and his child was being born. She pulled out her cell and tried to think of somebody who could help…
Justine laughed when she saw the name calling her cell, Sky, trying to call Maggie.
She went to the room where she had Hunter locked up and went to rub it in Hunter's face.
"What the hell?!" she gasped when walking in, Hunter was gone! She walked further into the room and then something struck the back of her head, the world went black and she fell to the floor.
Hunter stood behind her, the heavy shackles dropped to the ground next to Justine's unconscious body and he felt his Magick coming back to him. Her cell was still ringing, it was Sky!!
"Oh Goddess, Sky! Am I glad to hear from you!" Hunter breathed down the phone
"Hunter?!" Sky cried on the other end, "What the hell are you playing at?! Why are you with Maggie? You ran out on your wedding to be with her?!"
"No Sky, Maggie, she's not… Maggie… it was Justine Corceau, this whole time!" Hunter explained
"The French Canadian bitch? The one with the list of true names?" Sky asked
"Yes, she wanted to get me back so she took me away I've managed to knock her out now, I'm calling the council to get her so I've got to go!"
"Hunter where are you? I'll come get you"
"I don't know, I'm not sure, you'll have to scry for me!" he said and with that he hung up the phone and checked Justine to make sure she didn't have anything on her to escape with, he chained her up with her arms behind her back just in case and he reattached the shackles to the wall and then bound her ankles and threw the objects out the room she could use for escape, that's when he felt his cousin scrying for him, he smiled.
Using Justine's phone he dialled a familiar number he hadn't used in 10 years
"Hunter! How are you? It's been a long time, I heard you were sick!" came the familiar voice on the other end
"Hello Kennet, No time for small talk I'm afraid, I have a matter of importance to discuss with you," Hunter said
"What's wrong old chap?" his old mentor asked
"Can you remember Justine Corceau?"
"Ah yes, her re-education went very well,"
"Not well enough," Hunter said
"Whatever are you talking about?" he asked
"Well she kidnapped me, chained me up and used Magick against me, she's dangerous,"
"What happened?"
"I managed to free myself, I knocked her out and tied her up, is there anyone nearby who can take her, she needs her power stripping as soon as possible," Hunter said glaring at Justine's unconscious body with more hatred than he's ever felt in his life, even more so than what he felt for his deceased half brother Cal.
"Hunter where are you I'll send someone right away!"
"I don't know where I am you'll have to scry for her, I can't stay there's somewhere I need to be"
"Okay Hunter, we'll be right on it, thank you for calling"
With that Hunter hung up the phone and threw it against the wall shattering it to pieces and Hunter cried out in frustration.
Clearly he wasn't too far from town as he felt Sky pulling up outside
"You're making a big mistake, Hunter"
Hunter turned to see Justine coming round, "Am I?" He said raised eyebrows
"You belong with me," she pleaded her eyes were tearing up and she looked pained
"Justine, you know just as well as I that, that is not true,"
Justine sobbed, "Hunter I'm in love with you" she said
"If you really loved me, you'd leave me be, let me be happy"
Justine hung her head, "The council are coming for me aren't they" she said and then looked up to meet Hunter's eyes, he nodded, "What do you think they'll do to me?" she sniffled
"If you're lucky, just a bubble spell, it will limit your powers and not take them away completely, you'll still be able to enjoy magick and its beauty, but you will never again be able to affect another living thing"
"Hunter?!" Hunter heard his cousin calling for him,
"I'm up here!" he called back
Just then Sky appeared in the door,
"I am sorry Hunter," Justine said
Sky glared at her and then walked over to where she was chained and slapped her hard across the jaw,
"Of all the nerve" she spat at her,
Hunter came over and placed a sigil on Justine's forehead to bind her powers, "I'm sorry too" he replied sincerely, when he thought she was Maggie he honestly did care about her, but this was for the best, Maggie never really existed, and Justine was out of control she needed help
"Come on Hunter," Sky said pulling him away, "Morgan needs you, she's in labour"
"I know let's go" he said
"Wait how? How did you know?" Sky asked
"I felt it," he replied
