Chapter seven: getting it together
A month later
Alisa woke up screaming. The sheets had twisted at her feet,she was almost falling out of bed. Then strong arms were wrapped around her,soothing with soft words and magick. Charlie smoothed back her hair and settled her against his chest. He could still feel her trembling,he spoke with a hint of humor,"Well,we made it through a nightmare,and the walls are still standing. Hmmmm...doing good so far,see-i'm good therapy." Alisa was still trying to fight the after-effects of the bad dream. Charlie holding her helped....alot.
Charlie had came to Widows vale to spend some time with her. He had been there three days,and still had a week and a half to go. She had lied to her dad and hilary,saying that she was at Mary K'S,so that she could spend the night with Charlie in his effeciency room. They had just been sleeping....and making out,of course. Alisa wasn't quite ready to 'go all the way',and Charlie was ok with that. Right now,holding each other was enough.
He studied her face,she wasn't in a panic any longer,but something still wasn't right,he spoke,"want to talk about it?" Alisa sat up,and put her back against the head board. She began softly:
"I was in the woods- I don't know where- and I was lost,but felt sleepy. I know it doesn't make sense,but anyway,Iwas trying to stay awake so I could get out of there,and I stumbled over something."
She was silent,and Charlie took her Hand,"Come on 'lis,Tell me."He could barly make out what she said,because she had begun to sob:
"I tripped over me....I was sleepy, Because I was dead. There was a knife in me and soo much blood."
Charlie sat up and pulled her closer.This was not Good.Was she in danger? Who would want to hurt her? He kept petting her, trying to calm her fears,as well as his own.
Hunter cast out his senses again,his hands were clasped white knuckled on the steering wheel. Linden Watched his brother from the passenger seat. Things had been calmer in the last month. After Sky had returned from her confrontation with Morgan(And Morgan had looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of peices missing),Hunter had come to the conclussion,if the peace was to be kept,he had to pull it together. Linden had noticed,while Hunter was glad he was alive,he was still somewhat cold and distant. Sky had said it was because of what Morgan had done to him(he was glad that she had knocked that girl for a loop)and just to give him time.
Tonights phone call had come as a suprise. Mary K. had called the House. Sky had intercepted the phone call,listened,and had told Hunter what she wanted. Alisa was missing. She had told Mary K. to cover for her,but hadn't told her where she'd be. Alisa's dad had called,and told Mary K.(She had told him alisa was in the shower)That he was taking Hilary and the baby to the emergency room,nothing serious yet,but she might need to meet him there later. Mary k. said she'd deliver the message,and then after debating,had called Hunter.
Hunter pulled the car into the motel and told Linden to'stay put'. Linden watched him as he walked to one of the rooms and knocked on the door.
The knock at the door caused Charlie and Alisa to jump. The dream was still fresh for both of them,and who could be at the door? Charlie rose and looked out the peep hole,he recongnized The ex-seeker that was Alisa's coven leader. Things were getting stranger. Chrlie opened the door and Hunter brushed by him,and addressed Alisa, "Get dressed.Get your things." Alisa looked at Hunter shocked, "How did you know where I ..."
Hunter Broke in,sounding as if he was out of patience,"Mary k. called,I tracked you and we need to go. Hilary's ill. I'm covering your arse,so could you hurry?" She grabbed her things and went into the bathroom to change. Charlie spoke to Hunter,"Look,something weird happened here tonight. Alisa had this dream and..." Hunter snorted. "truly I don't give a damn. If its so bloody important,call the council and contact a seeker.I have other things to worry over." Charlie was taken aback at his attitude. He wisely let it drop. Alisa came out changed,gave charlie a quick kiss,and left with Hunter.
Brigid giggled with happiness. That should stay with the little tart for a few days. She leaned back into the passenger seat,more content than she had been since the Half witch destroyed her life. She had been so depressed when she had attened the big Rowanwand gathering back in the summer. Before,she and Charlie had always gone together. Her being alone had been a good thing. She had met her new best freind,her mentor,someone who understood her. She looked over at the lady driving the car,she was almost ten years older than Brigid,but was very youthfull and pretty. Brigid reached over and took her hand,squeezing it to feel their connection.
She glanced over at the young girl. She was so trusting-and so bitter. This would be easy. When the seeker had arrived,she had been a little nervous. She would have another chance at him too. Justine smiled her reassurence at the girl and gently squeezed her had back. A grin on her face,yes,this would be easy.
A/N: MUWAHHAHAHAAA...ok whatcha think? Oh yeah,Linden will soon come into play...and where is Morgan? and Will Hunter really foul up,by being so bitter? If ya want more..R&R!
