Hi! First of all I'd just like to thank Lea and Fearless Sweep Girl for the
really nice reviews! It made my day! So thanks!
Ok on with the story!This is Hunter's POV!
_______________________________________________________________
Oh Goddess I didn't know how happy I could be! I want to tell everybody, but most of all I want to tell Hunter. The next time he phones I'm going to tell him. I can't wait! Our own family! It's going to be perfect. -Morgan
It feels strange being back in England with Da and Alwyn, but nice, like when I was a lot younger. As soon as Da and I had returned, Da got a house sorted out, and Alwyn came to live with us from Beck and Shelagh's.
I sat down in the kitchen with a cup of tea, and smiled at Da who was reading the newspaper. Every day he was getting stronger and healthier, and it was brilliant to see the transformation from the hollow shell of a man that I had found in Canada. He was really getting himself on his feet again.
I heard Alwyn clomping out of the shower and then down the stairs. She was wearing combats and a black glittery strap top, with her headphones blaring loud rock music hanging round her neck. She sat herself at the table next to me.
"Hunter..." she began mischeivously, "will you put some poptarts in the toaster for me?" Alwyn asked with a smile.
"No, your closer." I said.
"But I'm tired!!" and she then flopped her head on the table to demonstrate.
"That'll teach you not to go out partying with Jenny untill three in the morning then won't it?" I winked at Alwyn as Da raised his eyebrows. He didn't actually know about Alwyn and Jenny's excursion.
I got up to put my cup in the sink and saw Alwyn looking hopefully at me.
"Oh the things I do for you!" I said with mock annoyance. "Morgan likes"
"Yep Morgan liks poptarts too! I know! I think if there was a Morgan quiz, I'd get every question right!" She said jokingly.
"Sorry have I been talking about her too much?" I asked.
"No, its fine! It's nice to know stuff about her!" said my little sister. "Now where are my poptarts?!!!"
She started looking through the newspaper Da had put down after I handed her her breakfast. She looked up and Da was staring at her. I knew what he was thinking. Alwyn is the spitting image of our mum, Fiona. They have the same oval face, the same red curly hair halfway down their backs and the same piercing green eyes. Alwyn, Linden and I shared those same eyes ; mum's eyes. Except she wasn't here any more, and neither was Linden.
Alwyn looked irratated, and moved over to the fridge to get some orange juice, while Da pushed his chair back and reached up for his coat.
"I'd better be off then" he said. He had started working for an old friend, Colin O'Farrel, who owned an accounting company.Da was only doing filing and secretarial work, but it was doing him good, and you could see that. Plus it helped pay the bills.
"Alright see you later Da" I said, and Alwyn just put her headphones back on. Da sighed and left.
I went and sat next to my little sister, and pulled her headphones off.
"Hey!!" she protested.
"Alwyn, ever since we got back, you've been so frosty and distant with Da. I mean what's the matter?"
"Oh I don't know! Maybe its the fact that a complete stranger lives with us, and wants us to be a "happy family", but how can we? I don't even know him!" she shouted. "And the way he looks at me..." Alwyn's voice quietened. "I'm not mum"
"I know," I said holding her hand, "But it's hard ...." My voice trailed off as my senses tingled. Morgan... I could feel her, but not see her. I almost jumped out of my seat when the phone rung.
"Morgan!" I smiled happily into the phone.
"Hi love how are you?" She asked.
"Much better for talking to you!"
"Yeah I know, I just needed to hear your voice! Um Hunter? I think"
CRAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"ALWYN?!?! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???????" I shouted.
Alwyn appeared at my side.
"Um, I got a little frustrated. I sort of took it out on the dustbin...."
"Morgan?" I said into the phone.
"Yeah are you ok? What's happened?" She sounded worried.
"It's just Alwyn, but i need to have a chat with her. Is it ok to phone you tonight?" I asked
"Sure, I have a class in 10 minutes anyway. I love you!"
"I love you too, take care. I love you." and I put the phone down.
I turned around to find Alwyn grinning at me. Apparently her anger had dissapated. I smiled back.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing! It's just nice to see how much you love her. Hopefully I'll get to meet her soon!" said Alwyn "Will I have to start getting ready to be an Aunty??"
At that comment I laughed my head off!
"Goddess I hadn't even thought about it!I think Morgan and I are a bit you to start a family! I mean I'm only 19, and Morgan's only 17! Maybe in a few years, eh?"
"Yep well you'd better, coz I can't wait to be an Aunty! Ok well I'm going out. Me and Jenny are going to Camden. Wanna come?" she asked with a smile.
I politely declined. I mean Jenny was nice enough, she was a Brightendale, and is funny and interesting, and very attractive. She's got long blonde hair and huge blue eyes, but it was common knowledge that Jenny had a bit of a crush on me, and I preferred to avoid that situation.
Alwyn left five minutes later, and even though it was only 10 in the morning I felt overcome with a wave of fatigue. I went back up to my room, stripped down to my boxers and drifted off to sleep.
**************************************************************************** *********** "He knows about me."
I looked around and saw a girl of about 8, standing in front of me. She had long, straight brown hair and green eyes.
"He's coming for me. You have to stop him." she continued
"Who's coming? What's coming? I don't understand!!" I said, frustrated.
"You will" and with that she dissappeared. ***************************************************************
I finally woke up after having that dream about three times. What time was it? 5. 5!!!!! I'd been asleep for 7 hours! What was that dream all about? I changed back into my shirt and jeans. Who was that girl? She had green eyes. She had my green eyes.But what did it mean??
I went downstairs to find Da cooking. Whatever it was it smelled great.
"What's cooking?" I asked.
"Shepherd's pie." Da replied. "I thought it was about time I started pitching in on the cooking."
"Is Alwyn in her room? I'll go get her."
"No she's not back yet" Da said.
"Well she went out with Jenny earlier. I'll call and see what time she's getting back." I suggested.
I picked up the phone and dialled Jenny's number.
"Hi?" she said cautiously.
"Hi Jenny? It's Hunter."
"Oh my god! Hunter! Wow! How are you ? Are you seeing anyone?"
"I'm fine thanks. um... can I talk to Alwyn?"
"Huh?" she exclaimed "Alwyn's not here! I haven't seen her all day!"
"But she left this morning saying that you two were going to Camden!"
"Well that's what we were supposed to be doing till she blew me off! She said she was spending the day with you!"
"Thanks, see you later!" I said and put the phone down.
I hurried up to Alwyn's room, and everything looked the same. I checked her drawers and wardrobe. Damn she'd taken her stuff!! I saw a piece of paper on her bed, with my name on it. It simply read 'Hunter, I'm sorry'
