Chapter 3- The Circle
Hunter and I went and sat in the chair in front of the fire while we waited for Sky to arrive. She had called Hunter and told him that she was going to be a little late, she had some things to pick up before she came over.
While we waited for Sky, Hunter and I just sat their staring in to the fire.
If you hadn't known any better you would have thought that our circle was some sort of couples retreat. Practically everyone in Kithic was dating or just "seeing" some one else from Kithic. There was Robbie and Bree. Simon and Jenna. Matt and a newer member Tristine. Even Alisa had a new boi. She was dating another of our two new members, Gioven. I could have swore that it was a match made by the goddess herself, although they are anyway. He too was a blood witch, from the Rowanwands.
Tore from my train of thought, I heard Sky come in she was carrying some red and white roses. With out a word she went in to the circle room. I thought this was a bit strange o well, but so was Sky. A few minutes later Sky poked her head out and gave a nod to Hunter.
"Well" said Hunter, in his English accent that made me completely melt.
"Since everyone is here and ready, let's get started"
We all followed him to the circle room. There what looked like hundreds of candles lit and the red and white roses were here and there, some in vases and others' petals had been spread out on the floor. He drew a circle with chalk, we all stepped and then he closed it behind us. He purified the circle with salt, then set out the elements a bowl of sand for earth, a candle for fire, incense for air, and water. I was pretty used to the workings of casting a circle, since I have been to a few (understatement). Everything was as usual, except for a little wooden box carved with two hands holding a heart topped with a crown, that had been set aside.
He continued called on the watchtowers and asked the god and goddess to bless the circle. We all held hands, and started walking desil around the circle. Hunter and Sky started the power chant as we repeated. I started to feel the energy rise as we almost ran around the circle. We lifted our hands and I was washed in the calming loving embrace of the energy. My thoughts cleared. I felt the power all around me. I loved this part of circle. This is when I felt most at home. But there was something different about it. The energy felt slightly different. I couldn't exacly figure out what was different.
I opened my eyes and Hunter was right across the circle from me. I saw Hunter's aura was glowing red. We slowed down our circle and where all seated. I was ready for this weeks "lesson" When Hunter stood and came over to me. He put out his hand, gesturing for me to take it. So I did. He pulled me up helping me to my feet. The others moved over to fill the gaps left by Hunter and I. This must have been the ritual Hunter had mentioned. He then led me to the center of the circle. Took the chalk an drew a smaller circle with in the one he had cast, inside he drew a pentagram. He took the strange wooden box and placed it in the middle of the circle a top the pentagram.
"Please sit my love" he said now seeming very serious and solemn.
We sat in the smaller circle. It was just big enough for the two of us to fit. I felt the warmth coming from him, his love for me. I was on one side of the box while he was on the other. With a slight nod of Hunter's head the other members of the coven stood and circled around us, held hands, then stood and started to chant something strange, but calming and beautiful that I had never heard before.
He opened the carved wooden box. From inside came a glowing light. Althought it was bright Hunter did not squent, just looked directly in to it.
"Close your eyes" he said as he took my hand. I felt the warmth of Hunters hand holding mine ,it sent a shiver up my spine.
*Don't worry my love, I promise there is nothing to fear* I heard his words ring lightly in my head. Then for a moment i could feel him just staring at me. I could fell waves or excitement coming off Hunter, but he collected himself and started to speak.
" My love, from the moment i saw you I knew you were special. I couldn't tell what it was. Since that day I have discovered what it was that I felt at that first moment. It was love. My love for you has grown everyday that we have know each other, till now I feel it has no end."
His words hit me at the very core warming every last bit of my soul. Filling me with love till i thought i might explode.
"I take thee hand and place the promise of love. You, my Murin Beatha Dan, will you have me always and us be as one under the goddess's loving grace."
My heart was pounding in my chest. My breathing was shallow and quickened.
"With the token, this claddath I give you all of me. Please my love, open your eyes."
When I opened my eyes Hunter held before me a ring. By now the coven had stopped chanting but continued circling us.
"The hands are here to represent our lasting friendship ,
The heart is here to represent my undieing love for you.
The crown is raised above , to represent my loyalty to you and only you throughout our lives.
Worn on the right hand with the heart turned outwards, the world will know that your heart has not yet been won.
Worn on the right hand with the heart turned inwards, it shows that friendship and love is being considered. Please love will you choose how you shall wear it. "
O my goddess he was proposing to me. I couldn't believe it.
I looked at it. It was a silver band that was connected with two hands. With a crown on top and in the middle was a beautiful what looked like, red emerald.
"Heart inwards" I was barely able to squeak out, holding back tears of joy.
He placed the ring on my right hand with the heart turned inward. Hunter's eyes gleamed. With this I had accepted his proposal. The rest of the coven suddenly stopped raised there clasped hands to the sky and said one more phrase in Gaelic. With that tiny pieces of Magick began to fall from the air. I realized it was stars. The goddess herself had given her blessing.
Hunter stood lifting me in the air, twirling me around. Goddess I loved him so much and now we were engaged. This is what I had been wanting my whole life but just hadn't realized it till now.
The rest of the coven stopped their chanting and came over to congratulate us.
"Umm, Hunter can you set me down now?" I asked.
He still held me up in his strong arms.
"Never my love. I will never let go of you!" He said with a smile as wide as it could ever be across his face. With that he set me down.
Bree came over and grabbed me and hugged me.
"I can't believe it. My best friend my soul sister is engaged." She said.
"Did you know about this?" I asked her. With a smirk she nodded.
"We all knew." She said. Hunter has been planning this for months."
I was still in complete, wonderful shock.
* * * * * * * *
After everyone had left Hunter and I just sat there in front of the fire. Bree caught a ride home with Robbie since she knew hunter and I needed a little alone time. All I could think of and picture was how soon, for the rest of our lives we would be able to sit like this every night. We would never have to leave each other's side.
A/N: Told you this was a big chapter for them. What did you think. I hope you liked it. Was it long enough to long. I'm the writer need the info. lol any ways i will stop babbleing and let you go. Please review and I will give you another chapter.
Blessed Be
