AN: Like I said previously in previous chapters, I do not own any of the
characters in this story. The only thing that I POSSESS *wink wink Mandi*,
is the story line itself. That is the only thing that I own.
During lunch time I sat with most of Kithic, which consisted Bree, Robbie, Matt, Ethan, Jenna, Sharon, and Raven. It was like any other day, but it changed when Hunter sent me a witch message.
"Morgan, I need to talk to you." It distracted me, and I left the room immediately.
"Hey, where are you goin'??" Bree shouted out to me. I ignored her, and kept walking.
"What is it Hunter??" I said. The thing he told me next, shocked me, but I knew it was coming. I knew I had waited long enough to hear it, and I knew all along. Selene's death was to good to be truth.
"I haven't been completely honest with you." I ran out of the school, and spotted Hunter's truck right on the road. I asked Hunter what I needed to know.
"What is it Hunter??" I asked, getting into his truck. He started it up, and drove off, not looking at me. "Hunter, look at me!!!!" I was practically screaming now. He punched the wheel, and cursed.
"Dammit!! How could I be so stupid!! The clues were right in front of me!!!" I looked at him wildly, not having any idea of what was going through his mind at the moment. "She has Selene's powers!! She possessed them from Cal!! It's so clear to me now!! That night when he escaped..." I interrupted him.
"Hunter!! Slow down!! Who are you talking about?? When did Cal escape??? What's going on!!" He pulled the truck over, and looked me in the eye.
"I wasn't telling you the truth that night." I glared at him. "When the council went over, they found both bodies, but Cal was still breathing. Selene was dead, that's true. They took Cal into their hands, and took him to their recovery room, until her could tell them what happened." I couldn't believe my ears. Hunter, whom I had trusted for all of these months, lied to me, about something that could harm me.
"What?? When did you find out??" I asked in shock. He looked at me, and I sware I saw guilt in his eyes.
"I knew all along. There's more to the story. After a few nights, when Cal had most of his strength back, he escaped, and went to see one of Selene's old coven members, Mandi MacWood." I shuddered when I heard the name. It sounded so familiar. Hunter continued, and I listened carefully. "His mother's wish was for her to receive her magickal powers after she had died. Cal was dead, yes, but Selene brought him back, so that he could be her messenger." His was done.
"But, why is it so important that Mandi got Selene's powers???" I asked curiously. I wasn't prepared for what Hunter was about to say, but I took it like a woman.
"Selene and Mandi had known about you long before you yourself had discovered your magickal powers. They had an agreement, that if one died, the other would get her powers, and come after you, to finish the job, and banish you from this world." He looked at me, with a peircing stare. His green eyes looked almost pitiful.
"Why me??" I asked. I could feel the grip of my hand get tighter around his, as he moved it around to get some feeling back into it.
"You are the daughter of the two greatest Wiccans. Maeve Riordan, and Ciaran MacEwan." I shivered, and I knew that the feeling was wrong. I had always thought that my birth parents would come into one situation or another, but this one was the worst of all. I was being stalked, so I could die.
