"Alright, so...Mini Niall and Mini Morgan are from the future.
They're here to stop someone from setting free an evil spirit, which we
know nothing about." I glanced in my rearview mirror. Killian was looking
around for confirmation. The 'mini bits,' as Killian will eventually call
Moira and Maille, nodded. "And now you want me to call Iona and Kyle, and
get them to come help us?" the mini bits nodded again. "And you want
Niall...Hunter, to call and get Sky and Alwyn down here?" This time Hunter
nodded. "And now, we are going to a Wiccan store, to chat with the owner,
and read all her books?"
"Yes Killian." I said, pulling in front of Practical Magick. We piled out of my car, and clattered into the store, the bell ringing.
"Alyce?" called out Hunter. He disappeared behind the counter. The new store was quite a lot bigger than the older one. "Come on, Killian, help me find some books." Killian nodded, and followed me through the store.
Almost an hour later, we had seven books, five borrowed, two bought, and were in Hunter's living room again. Surprisingly, Killian was a great help. He stayed focused the whole time.
"Here," I watched Moira trace her finger down a page in one of the books Hunter had bought. "The Dragon Spirit takes many years to conjure, even for the most powerful of witches. It takes more years to contain and control, and more years yet to send it out. The spirit inhabits the sender's body, until it is ready to be released. When released, the spirit finds it's victim, and takes over their body, soon pushing the spirit out of the original owner's body. Once the Dragon Spirit successfully drives out the soul, it eats..." Moira stopped and made a disgusted face, and pushed the book to Hunter, so he could finish reading it.
"It eats the person's insides, drinks all the blood, then exits the body, leaving it in a hidden place to rot." Hunter finished. Moira and Maille looked completely stiff. Killian was trying to hold his face straight, and I, personally, was trying to keep my stomach in tact.
"We need to stop this!" Maille yelled, jumping to her feet. She took off up stairs.
"Maille!" Moira jumped and followed her sister. I looked over and Hunter. He shrugged helplessly. *I'll go get them. Keep looking*
"Moira? Maille?" I called quietly.
"Moira, I let them die. I let that thing drink their blood, and eat their organs! Why didn't I try harder!?" Maille sobbed. I stood quietly out of site, listening from the doorway. I glanced around the corner. They were sitting on Hunter's bed, Moira hugging Maille tightly.
"We are going to change all that, Mail, and it wasn't your fault. They aren't going die. We wont let them." I could hear Moira lightly patting Maille's back.
"Moira?" Maille sat backwards, getting out of Moira's grip. Moira made a slight sound in her throat. "What if mom doesn't want me later. She knew about you, and they told you the story. They wanted and knew about you. They didn't know about me."
"Maille!" Moira and I said at the same time. I jumped into the door way. My daughter screamed. I ducked as a ball of blue witch fire flew at my head. "HEY!"
"Oh my god, mom! I'm sorry!" Maille wailed. She rushed over and sunk to the floor beside me. Tears spilled down her pale cheeks. I wrapped my arms around her, and rocked slightly. Hunter came rushing in the room, Killian on his heels.
"What's going on?" Hunter asked. *Leave it. I need to talk to Maille. Take Moira and Killian downstairs. Keep looking for a way to stop the Dragon Spirit.* I messaged to Hunter. He nodded.
"Comon' Moira." He mumbled quietly. Moira nodded, and left with the guys.
I led Maille over to Hunter's bed again, and knelled in front of her. "Maille," I pried her hands from her face. Her eyes red, and puffy. "Why wouldn't I want you in the future?" Our eyes were magnetic, locked on each other. Hazel to green.
"I let you die. It will be my fault if you die in the future."
"No it won't be." I said, patting her leg. She jumped up, nearly knocking me over. She stared pacing the room. I sat on the bed, and watched her, until I started getting dizzy.
"M-maille," I blinked a couple of times then continued. "Sit down, your making me dizzy." She sat on the floor, then put her head in her hands.
"See, in the future.." She paused then started up again, "Moira and I came here from the same day, the same hour, after you were killed. We used the Roirdan power spell, and sent ourselves back. It WILL be my fault that you and dad die. When the Dragon Spirit came, it ripped in two and went into you and dad. Moira and I, we had the power to stop it. I couldn't move though. I was frozen in my spot. Moira kept yelling at me, to get my act together, because she had already called up Niall and Roirdan ancestors, now I needed to say the power chant with her. I couldn't. I didn't move when your souls left you. The spirit killed you right in front of us. Finally, Moira punched me," she shrugged her zipper sweater off, and showed me a nice greenish yellow bruise forming. "We made a spell on the spot, and came back. So don't tell me it wont be my fault." She yelled finishing. I was taken back.
"Maille..what's your middle name?" I gave her a weak look. *Macayle* she sent. "Maille Macayle Niall! The important thing is, you came back."
"Roirdan Niall." I heard her mumbled. *Maille Macayle Roirdan Niall!* I laughed out loud, gaining a little chuckle from my blonde girl. "Come on, lets go raid Hunter's cupboards. Im hungry." As if on cue, both of our stomachs growled.
We walked down the stairs, laughing. *Everything ok?* Hunter asked me. I nodded.
"Got anything good food, Dad?" Maille asked. He nodded and pointed to the kitchen. "Go on Sweets, I need to talk to..Dad." I said sweetly. I nodded my head to the hallway. Killian walked into the kitchen.
"Maille, watch your uncle, I don't trust him with my things." Hunter called, not braking eye contact with me.
"Moira go help your sister." I instructed. Moira looked at us, made a face, then bolted to the kitchen. Hunter and I walked up the stairs, and into his room, closing the door.
"Hunter..did...you...call...Sky...and...Alwyn?" I asked between kisses.
"Uh huh." He replied, kissing my neck. I pushed him back. He glared at me for a second.
"Nuh uh buddy. You heard Moira earlier. Nineteen years from now. She's only seventeen." Hunter laughed loudly.
"What did you need to talk to me about."
"Where everyone is going to stay. There's going to be..."I stopped and counted in my head. "Nine of us, all together. I know you don't like Killian, and I don't want to pin you with him, Iona and Kyle. Moira and Maille will stay here, and Sky and Alwyn..."
"Morgan. Morgan, stop thinking so much. We'll figure it out. Right now, we only have three people. Not including us. We'll figure it out." He stroked my hair. We both lay on his bed, thinking.
"Maille blames herself." I told him.
"For what?"
"Us dying in the future. She said it was her fault. She seems to think we aren't going to want her." Hunter raised himself onto his elbow looking down on me.
"Come on. I want to make sure I still have a kitchen and dishes."
Please review! I have a few chaps already typed..i just need some reviews..PLEASE
"Yes Killian." I said, pulling in front of Practical Magick. We piled out of my car, and clattered into the store, the bell ringing.
