Hunter's POV
The sound of a petrified scream sliced through my dreams, a familiar well-known voice. A rush of pure, undiluted fear raced through me as I realised who the owner was.
I sat bolt upright in my seat expecting to see a member of Amyranth pounce out of the shadows, but nothing of the sort greeted me. I was vaguely aware of Eoife slamming down on the brakes, making the car screech to a loud stop, but it seemed like it was in another world nothing to do with me. My attention was focused on one thing, Morgan.
It almost broke my heart to see her so scared, her eyes diluted with hysteria, the silent tears trickling down her cheeks leaving behind it, a small trail. Her delicate hands rubbed raw, as she ground them into her trousers over and over again.
I cautiously reached out toward her, uncertain on how to act, what to do, or even what had got her so upset. The only thing I knew was that Morgan, my one love, was terrified and I had to do something about it. That was the only thought that flitted through my still half-asleep mind as I reached out to take her hand before she succeeded in rubbing a hole in her jeans.
I noted with shock that her hands were shuddering violently in my own, as I grabbed them. "Morgan.? Love, what's the matter?" I whispered, the worry evident in my voice. I barely managed to contain my gasp of shock as she collapsed onto me.
Eoife swerved round in her seat, after she was satisfied that the car wasn't going to roll into some non-descript ditch and kill us all. I looked at her as she turned, my concerned eyes meeting her confused ones as I shook my head lightly. Eoife nodded cautiously in return, understanding my unspoken message that I would be better to comfort the panicked woman.
I finally returned my attention to the brown haired quivering mass in my arms, and was quite surprised to find that she had extracted her petite hands from my own. They now clutched onto the front of my shirt, as if she would be dragged away if she let go. Her tears creating dark wet patches on my boring greying T-shirt.
None of this seemed to register, as I pondered the best way to go about dissolving the situation. My mind had gone blank though, I couldn't summon a single intelligible word to say to make it all better - it was all locked away in a box far from reach with no key to open it with.
So I acted on instinct, I pulled her closer to me one arm automatically snaking round her slim waist, the other reaching out to stroke her shaking head. Then, joy of joys, words returned to me as I buried my face into her silky hair, "Shh. S'okay. Everything's alright."
I continued whispering words of comfort in her ear, in the hopes of calming her. It worked. Thank the Goddess, I don't know what I would have done if I had had to see her like that for one more second. It's depressing to think how many times I've seen this strong and determined woman break down in tears. Each time, I can feel the need to hurt whoever's done this to her building up.
Finally, though, the quivering began to slow and the sobs became less and less frequent. So, I decided to risk another question.
"Morgan, what is it? Are you ok?" I waited as Morgan gathered herself, taking deep breaths to steady her breathing, finally she gathered the courage to look up at me.
Her confidence quivered slightly. I offered a smile to encourage her to continue but it went unnoticed as she began.
"A dream -", she started.
At the magic word 'dream', I sat up straight in my seat as memories from our last 'adventure' came rushing back - followed closely by panic. "A dream?" I interrupted, "Is Cal - I mean Selene, back?"
"No.", Morgan continued, punishing my eagerness to blame all that goes wrong on my half-brother and his less-than-nice side of the family with a half-hearted glare. "I think, I think it's something different. I had one on the plane as well, but I kinda forgot to mention it."
Inwardly I cringed - will she ever learn to trust me enough to tell me whenever something happens? No matter how stupid it seems? Outwardly, my face creased into the beginnings of a frown as I opened my mouth to complain. Morgan sensed my irritation and swiftly jumped in before I could speak, quickly retelling what she had seen as of yet. "So, what do you think mean?" She happily concluded at the end of her speech.
By the end I, and I'd think I speak Eoife here as well (who had been listening from the front seat), was thoroughly confused. We sat in silence, as we contemplated their meaning.
"Well.", started Eoife, "We're nearly at Dùbhlan Cuan, we can ask the witches there. It could be a premonition - they're especially good at deciphering those, it could be a big help. It'd take about 40 more minutes to get there, maybe 30 if we're lucky.."
I nodded, after all they were highly experienced and famed for their knowledge in many different areas. It would make sense to hand the situation over to them. But, I couldn't help feeling wary - as if, they shouldn't be trusted with this. For once I quelled instincts - neither Eoife nor Morgan seemed to find it to be a bad idea. S I agreed, "Right"
Just as we were all getting settled back into our seats, I heard Morgan mutter "Oh, great. A brilliant first impression I'll make. I'm all puffy-eyed and red nosed..."
