Chapter 2
Fox
A.N. As promised people, here's chapter 2. Oh and I "figured out" how to do the formatting crap, the truth is I have NOOO idea how I did it. I hope this one turns out ok too. Moira ( should really change that spelling in my first chapter) IS 6, shes just kinda spoiled a bit so she acts a little younger, and yes I do know that, that can happen.
Disclaimer, I do not own any of these characters they belong to Cate Tiernan/Penguin Putnam.
The next morning Morgan rolled over in bed, and for once she was up before Hunter. She glanced at the clock, '7:30'.
"Oh crap," she mumbled and rolled out of bed. She tip-toed down the stairs, past Moira's room trying not to wake her. Finally she made it to the kitchen, opening the fridge she searched for a Diet Coke, and drank it, while looking out the window.
"Beautiful day isn't it?" Morgan jumped, she hadn't even heard Hunter come down the stairs.
"Yes, it is," she replied sleepily.
Morgan finished her coke, and turned to face Hunter. His blonde hair was standing on end, and his green eyes showed signs of fatigue. He ran his hand through his hair, making it stand up even more, he sighed.
"Are you alright?" Morgan asked.
"Yes love, I'm fine, in fact I'm great!" He swept Morgan into his arms and started deep into her eyes, "I love you."
"I love you too."
They both heard Moira stirring in her room, which was on the second floor, and at the other end of the house, but they could still hear her.
"Goddess she's loud," Hunter laughed.
"Yes, she is, and really I don't know where she gets it from. Thought I do believe she's just as stubborn as you Hunter."
"Oh shutup," he laughed again.
Moira appeared from the stair case, yawning, and looking slightly worried.
"Good morning dear," Hunter said motioning for her to come hug him.
"Daddy," she started, "I had a bad dream last night."
Hunter glanced at Morgan, she returned it.
"What was it about?" Hunter asked in a sweet voice.
Moira started to cry, "you and mommy left home, and died."
"Oh Moira," Morgan began, crouching beside her daughter, "we're not going to leave, or die for that matter. We're going to stay right here with you."
"Your mom is right Moira, we won't leave you."
Moira stopped crying, but she was still hyperventilating.
"Listen, Moira, we're not going to leave, everything is alright."
Morgan stood up and glanced out the window, sitting on a snowy fence post outside was an eagle. Morgan quickly ducked back down, "Moira honey, why don't you go back to bed."
Moira nodded and broke her fathers embrace and went to bed.
"Hunter," Morgan whispered, "there's an eagle on one of the fence posts, around the garden, it was there when I stood. Something tells me it's not a real eagle."
Hunter slowly got to his feet and looked out the window, Morgan was getting up too when, "crap, Morgan stay down!!!"
Hunter lunged for Morgan and knocked her to the floor. Then a huge ball of witch fire shattered to window to pieces, and charred the wall opposite them.
"What the..?!?" Morgan yelled, she was interrupted by Moira scream.
"Moira!" They yelled unison.
They rushed to Moira's room and saw Moira quivering in her bed with a charred fox on the floor.
"Moira," what happened?" Morgan asked frantically while Hunter examined the fox on the floor.
"The fox mommy, it came through the window. And the fire, it came from my hands.
"Oh, my, uhh, Moira, you killed this fox with a very special power, but that was a good thing that you did."
"Why daddy?"
"It's hard to explain honey, but somebody we'll tell you," Morgan replied.
"But right now we have to leave, tonight, we aren't safe here."
"Where are we going to go Hunter?"
"Ireland, I can call Raven and Sky, they're on vacation there. They can help us."
"But why to Ireland, couldn't we go to Canada?" Morgan asked.
"Yes, we could, but we have to see the council. Morgan pack our things, as much as we can bring on the plane. Put the rest in storage, I'll help Moira."
Morgan set off packing and by eight that night Hunter had secured tickets to Dublin, from New York for first thing in the morning. He had gotten in touch with Sky and Raven, and arrangements had been made."
