Chapter two: the Seeker
I spoke with Cal and asked him who this Hunter was. I felt him get angry but he calmed himself. Cal's father had left when he was young and had remarried. Hunter was one of his children, he was also one of the youngest seekers in the history of the council and he was coming here for a circle tonight. I put on my robe for the circle and made my way down to the circle room. Cal and Selene led me to a tall young man with white blonde hair. He turned around and looked at me with his piercing green eyes. I don't know why but I felt an automatic connection with him. "Morgan, this is Hunter Niall. Hunter this is Morgan Riordan-MacEwan." I took a step back stunned. I conformed myself and stuck out my hand. He took it. "It is nice to meet you, Hunter. I have heard a lot about you." I said casually "I have heard much about you, too, Morgan." he said in the most sexiest British accent I had ever heard. Wait, did I just think that? This guy is my enemy and all I can do is think about what he must look like underneath that robe. OMG! I just did it again. I shook the thought out of my mind. He kept staring at me and I felt like screaming take a picture it'll last longer but I didn't. Instead I sent it as a witch message to him by accident. He dropped his eyes down almost automatically. "Morgan and I are to be married." Cal said triumphantly. I looked at Hunter. I thought I saw a hurt expression on his face but he erased it. "Congratulations" was all he said. Then I noticed the tall blonde girl behind him. She cleared her throat and nudged Hunter. He looked back. " I'm sorry. This is Sky Eventide. My cousin." Hunter announced. I expected her to be his girlfriend not cousin. I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you." all of the sudden I felt a pang of hatred from her. I took my hand back shocked. I had just met the girl and she already hated me. "Let us start the circle" I heard Selene say. I took my place between Cal and Selene. Hunter stood directly opposite from me next to his cousin. We conducted our circle like any other but I couldn't take me eyes off of Hunter. Sometimes I glanced beside me to see Cal staring back and forth from me to Hunter. The circle ended and I felt Cal pull me off to the side away from the crowd. "What do you think you were doing back there?" Cal asked. I could sense he was getting angry. "Calm down. What are you talking about?" I asked. "The seeker" he murmured as if no one was to hear him. My mouth dropped in astonishment. I couldn't believe Cal would think I would do something like that to him. All of the sudden I felt like I was being watched. "Is he looking over here?" I asked. Cal looked, then nodded. "it is creepy he hasn't taken his eyes off of me." Cal looked over my shoulder. "Hush. We'll talk later. He is coming over here" Cal replied in a hushed voice. "Hello" Hunter said to us " the happy couple trying to get away from their own party" "Yes, and we would like to be alone" I said harshly. I suprised myself with my swiftness. "Sorry" Hunter said in shock," I'll leave you two alone then" he said as he walked away " Keep your eyes on him, Cal. I don't think he can be trusted" I said as I watched the seeker walk away "You read my mind" Cal said. He pulled me close and started to kiss me passionately. I did the same. Could you two wait for the honeymoon? I have people over here who want to talk to you Selene witch messaged to us. We stopped almost automatically. Both of us were out of breath. We made it over to Selene and her guests. They congratulated us on the engagement and started to ask me questions about my father and mother. I felt Cal pull on my sleeve. I looked to him and he pointed to the seeker. He left the room and tried to conceal himself. "Would you excuse me for a second?" I said to the guests . I left them to talk amongst themselves and began to follow the seeker. Be careful Cal messaged to me. I hid myself in a spell that I created. No one could see me in it, not even blood witches. I found him searching the wall close to Selene's private library. I shot out some witch fire to him. I meant to hit the wall next to him, but he moved at the last second and it hit him. He fell down and I jumped on top of him. I pulled out my anthame and put it to his throat. I was about to ask him what he was doing when I was tackled to the ground. I tumbled over and hit my shoulder on the floor and let out a scream.
