A/N: Sorry I have taken so long to write the next chapter. I have been really busy and have had a bit of writers block. But thanks To a review I got I am back. Thanks for telling me that I am the best writer you have read on here. I have tried really hard to be as true to the books as possible. I would want to make Cate Tiernan proud. I recently got an email from here and she loved my website. I was so excited when I heard that it makes all my dedication to sweep worth it. Anyway. On with the story. Draw the curtains cue the music.
Disclaimer: I don't own sweep sniff sniff. If i did think off all the possiblities
Chapter 9- Vengeful Soul
Hunter's POV-
Bloody Hell. He isn't going to just cool off. He is going to the power sink. I flew out the door and into my car. I tried to start my car, but in the cold it resisted.
Damn car start already. I would turn the key but nothing would happen. I reached and pulled the leaver to pop the hood. With a thunk it opened. Stepping out in to the cold, I opened the hood and examined the engine. I don't know why, it wouldn't do any good. I could stop the dark wave. I could call on the energies of nature, but I couldn't do a bloody thing with cars. I didn't know what I was looking at. Then as I gave the engine a glance over, I recognized something even myself could spot. The battery had been disconnected. Da. He did this, thinking it would stop me. I reconnected the battery and slammed the hood shut trying not to trap my fingers in with it. Slid in to the front seat and turned the key. It was stubborn at first because of the cold but eventually gave up and started with a roar, as if it was a waking beast.
I pounded the gas pedal and sped from the house. My head was spinning, a million though going through at once. No wonder he was looking so terrible. He was starting to look sunken in and hollowed out just as when I had found him in Canada. Why didn't I realize this sooner? I must be getting rusty. I have been so wrapped up in Morgan and I, planning the promise ceremony, our future. I hadn't been paying close enough attention.
Finally I reached the cemetery. O how I new this place all too well. Morgan had stopped Cal and I from killing each other here, we fought the dark wave here. I was beginning to get sick of this blasted cemetery. I saw Da's car parked in front. The boot [truck] was opened. I slammed on the brakes, causing the tires to squeal loudly, so much for the element of surprise. I flew out of my car and towards the power sink. In the distance I saw a brown lump on the frosted grass. Only when I was closer did I realize that it was Da.
"Da!" I yelled kneeling at his side. I couldn't even tell if he was alive. Placing two fingers on his wrist I felt a faint thumping of his hear pumping the blood through his veins. He was bitterly cold laying her in the open. I glance up, noticing the bith. But that wasn't all that he had done. The circle of Dragons blood. the chalice of blood. Then I found it. The book he had been absorbed in for the last two months. Dark Practices of the Under World. Again realizing that hindsight was a bitch.
Da started to stir as a closed up the bith and started to remove all evidence of the dark ritual he had performed.
"Gio.." I heard no louder than a whisper. I ran to his side.
"Da what did you do? Why did you?"
"I am sorry lad." that's all he could choke out before he passed out again. I gathered all his tools and picked him up. He wasn't even a whole man anymore. He was a hollowed shell of his true self. His cheeks were tear stained. When we reached the car I laid him out in the back seat. I said a last few concealment spells, hoping that Kennet wouldn't be able to sense anything at least for a while.
Solemnly the car stopped in front of our home. I carried Da into the house and set him on the couch. I had to wake him there was no time. I had to find out what he had done. I went directly in to the kitchen and put a pot on to boil. I watched the fire dance around under the kettle. I was ripped from my gazing by the sound or the kettle whistling. I poured the boiling water in to a mug steeping energizing herbs and spelled it to help Da recuperate. Soon as the tea was down his through Da slowly regained consciousness.
"Hunter, what.. how did I get here."
"I found you at the power sink. I saw the birth and the circle. What did you do." the memories of what had happened must have flooded back because he broke down, his face in his hands.
"I am so sorry lad. I didn't mean it."
"What didn't you mean? Start at the beginning." he just sat there silently.
"When did you start with the bith again?"
"The day before your promise ceremony."
"What, but why Da?
"I couldn't stand it anymore. Your making plans for you and Morgan. Seeing you too so happy, able to be together. I couldn't take it. I had to see her. I was jealous. The only way I figured that I could go on was with the bith. So I opened it. " He was shaking, I could bearly understand what he was saying.
"Her soul hadn't moved on yet?"
"She had stayed back for me or at least I had thought she did. Every time I said that I had an errand to run or some thing since, I lied about. I was going to the power sink."
"What do you mean you thought that Ma had stayed back for you? What were the circle and the book I found all about."? I was starting to grow impatient with him. Why wouldn't he just get to the point? Da looked up at me then put his head back down.
"I have been strengthening her soul. I wanted to bring her back. That was what the circle was about. I was completing the final part. I brought her soul back. But it wasn't her soul it was another. This whole time I thought it was your ma. But..." he paused.
"But what Da. You need to tell me. Just get to the point." I was reigning my anger. For the first time in my life I wanted to hit him.
"But... It was another's soul. It wanted revenge, revenge on you. It tricked me, used me to get out. To get to you."
"You let an angry vengeful soul out."
"It said that you separated him and his love for eternity and that you would pay the price."
I couldn't even begin to process this. Someone, some crazed spirit thinks that I took away their love and now wanted to get back at me. Then it hit me. Cal? I mean he had hated me as did I him. He thought he loved Morgan in his own twisted neurotic sort of way. But was he powerful enough to fool my Da. That's when I heard her.
*Hunter.* her messaged was muffled.
*Hunt.....* it came again just as suddenly. But was cut off.
A/N: Ok so what did you think of this chapter uh. Is it getting good yet. And yes another one of my infamous cliffhangers. I know you are all probably hating me by now. I took so long to update and them leave you like this. But why are morgan's messaged not coming through. Who did Hunter's Da let out? Is Cal back???? If you review I will post the next chapter and some of your questions will be answered..
