Chapter six: Is this my Life?
Linden looked at his dad and sky. Daniel looked uncomfortable,and spoke,"He just needs some time to take this in." Linden nodded,every thing he had heard about his brother had given him the impression that he was unshakeable. That guy had just looked like he was on the verge of a nerveous breakdown. Sky stood up,"I'll go check on him." Daniel nodded,still in shock from finding out his youngest son was alive.

Sky walked up the stairs,and paused in front of Hunter's door. She knocked lightly,"Come on Hunter,I know you're in there." She paused and Knocked louder-"Hunter?" Sky began to be alarmed. She tried the knob,and found it locked and spelled. She cleared her mind and began to unravel the spells on the lock. It only took a moment,that was not good. If Hunter was slipping on his most basic spellcraft-he was really messed up. She charged into the room and flipped on the light. Hunter lay in bed-out cold. She took in the scene,his face was swollen and there was dried blood on the pillow,from his lip. She sat on the bedside and softly touched his face,Hunter moaned,and moved away from her touch. Great goddess,he was a wreak. She tried to wake him,she had to get him up. Damn,he might have a concussion,she had to get him awake.

Sky said under her breath"goddess forgive me." She grabbed him by the shoulders and gave him a teeth jarring shake. Hunter came to,certain he was being attacked...again. He re-acted this time and let loose a bolt of witch-fire,sending his attacker flying backwards. Sky let out a 'omph' as she hit the foor. Hunter realized what he had done and lounged out of bed to check on his cousin. Sky gave him a wry grin,"at least you're awake now."

Hunter and sky were sitting on the bed and sky was cleaning up Hunter's battered face,as well as explaining how Linden had come to be there.
"...And so you see,after the Taibhs attacked him he was pretty close to dead. The council was impressed with the fact he could of called one at all. They decided not to tell you that he had lived.When he came out of the coma,he had amneasia.So it was all working out for them rather well. They've kept him isolated,except for training all thease years.He was in a riding accident about a week ago,and he regained his memory. He demanded to see you and Alwyn. So,they told him about your da,and off he came here. some of his memories are still fuzzy,but most of it is back."

Hunter sat there.He looked at sky and spoke,"Sky,look I got Morgan pregnant at Beltane. She had an abortion without telling me she was pregnant. when she did tell me,I acted like an ass,but then our future daughter told me to forgive her in a dream that I had. But I can't tell her anything because her parents found out and Morgan told them I abandoned her,and now they consider me the axis of all evil. I got all thease pretty colors on my face when her father attacked me. I come home and my dead-yet not dead brother is in my kitchen. Sky,is this my life? And if it is and not a horrid dream-can you blame me for just wanting to shut it out,for right now?"

Sky studied Hunter.Well that explained a lot. Right now,he needed her to protect him. Sky kissed his cheek."Go to sleep,Giomanach.I'll take care of things." Hunter nodded and lay back down. Sky closed the door,and gathered her thoughts. She would explain every thing to Uncle Daniel and Linden.Hunter didn't deserve this treatment.He tried so hard to be good to everyone. She was paying Morgan a visit. She hoped that Morgan had given her soul to the goddess,because Morgan's ass was hers.
A/N:Oh dear,it would seem someone is on the war path...and just where does Linden fit into all this?Get out your hip-waders,'cause the s***is getting deep. R&R!
