Chapter 10: Stranger
Morgan's POV-
After Hunter left I must have dosed off, cause next thing I know Mary K was poking her head in to my room. I didn't so much see her as felt her. I didn't really want to open my eyes. But I was feeling a lot better. I must have just been worked up.
"Are you feeling better?, Mom and Dad told me what happened?" there was a note of concern in her voice as she sat on the side of my bed.
"Uhh. I'm fine. I feel a lot better. I think it was just my nervous getting the best of me. I'll be ok."
"You sure your ok?" I was shocked by her tone. It woke me out of my haze.
"I'm fine. I was just all worked up about telling mom and dad about Hunter and my engagement." A smile broke through her serious expression.
"Yeah I heard about that too. I can't believe that you to are getting married. What kind of wedding are you having?" After the words left her mouth I knew she wanted to take it back.
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it yet. Hunter and I will probably have a long engagement." I really didn't know what I was going to do about the wedding. I wanted a handfasting ceremony but of course my parents would want a big church wedding. I don't have to worry about that right now.
"Morgan... have you and Hunter slept together?" Her question caught me off guard. I must have turned ten shades of red. Mary K and I haven't really "talked" in a while ever since her and her boyfriend Mark had slept together about 2 months ago. I, being a total idiot went off on her. But no I didn't tell our parents. I just had a really hard time accepting my lil sis like that. I though she was too young. But then the creep left her for some other blonde bimbo.
"Well ... yeah we have. I thought I had told you that we had?"
"I mean recently." I was kind of embarrassed at her question.
"Why do you want to know?
"Well you have been sick lately and acting kind of weird." All of a sudden it hit me; My mom asking if something was wrong, the look she gave Hunter when he tried to kiss me. Now this. They thought I was pregnant. I knew I wasn't. I would know if I was. I would feel it.
"I'm not pregnant Mary K. So don't worry. Plus after Hunter you would be the first to know." I saw a wave of relief wash over my sister's young face.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It was just that you seemed like it. I mean I know how Jaycee was acting and everything before she told me she was pregnant. I just was worried about you."
"It's ok. I am glad to know that I am loved." I sat up and grabbed Mary K and gave her a tight hug. I heard Mom and Dad calling from down stairs and Mary K left to see what they wanted.
A short while later she came back up.
"Aunt Eileen just invited us over to her house for dinner Mom and Dad want to know if you are up to coming."
"I think I'm gonna stay. I feel better but I just want to rest a little while longer."
"Ok. Do you want me to stay with you?" Mary K is such a good sister. I loved her so much.
"No that's ok. I'll be fine. Tell Aunt Eileen I said Hi and give her and Paula a hug for me."
"I will do." With that she left my room closing the door behind her. I heard the front door slam and lock. The with a roar Dad's car started up and they were off. I cast out my senses just to double check. But I felt someone or some thing. I couldn't tell what it was. It wasn't Dagda he was in my closet reeking havoc on a pair of jeans hanging up. All of a sudden I felt very strange. It was coming closer. My head started to feel fuzzy. Then everything went black.
Hunter's POV-
*Hunter.* her messaged was muffled.
*Hunt.....* it came again just as suddenly, but was cut off.
Goddess, Morgan. That's was all I could think. I was filled with a paralyzing sense of fear. She had been sick. What if she was really hurt now?
"There is something wrong with Morgan! She messaged me, called out my name. It was faint, muffled. Then it was cut off all together. Like a candle that had been snuffed." O Goddess why hadn't I though of it before.
"Da, what else haven't you told me about the spell. I mean what happens after the soul is out? I was trying to pathetically to reign my anger.
"Once the soul returns………"
"What Da? You have to tell me. Something is wrong with Morgan."
"Well once the soul return, it starts to become what it once was, it becomes human again." I couldn't control myself any more.
I burst out the door and in to my car. I pressed my foot to the floor and I was gone. I sped through all stop signs and red lights at about 80 miles per hour. All I cared about was getting to Morgan. I tried sending her messages but I never got anything back. After what seemed like an eternity I was finally there. I cast out my senses, horrified at what I felt.
I burst in to the house and straight up to Morgan's room. There she laid on her bed, pale as a ghost, her hair was soak with sweat. I ran to her side.
"My love." I reached down and carefully moved a stray hair out of her face.
"mmmm ahh" she moaned painfully at my touch. I cast out my senses to try to figure out what was wrong. But when I did her back arched in pain. Her eyes were empty. She didn't even acknowledge my presence. I had to find out what was wrong I had to help her. I placed my hand on her chest and she moaned again. I tried to send calming, healing energy to her. But just as my energy touched hers she began to convulse going into some type of seizer. I didn't know what to do. I pulled back my energy and she stopped.
"Morgan, what is wrong let me know. I want to help. I can't if you don't let me. Suddenly I felt prickles as the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
"So how does it feel?" The voice came from behind me. I spun around to see standing before me a man, or a ghost I couldn't quite tell. I felt my muscles tighten I couldn't move my arms of legs. He had bound me. But I was still able to talk
"Who are you? What have you done? Why are you after me?" He seemed to be enjoying the tears of fear anger and frustration escaping out of my eyes rolling down my cheeks.
"Oh, I'm hurt. You mean you don't remember me?" I searched his face. He did seem slightly familiar.
"No I don't. Why, should I?" I was gritting my teeth trying to calm myself. I started to work my way through the layers of his spell.
"Does the name Mumiai ring any bells?" His Italian accent sounded harsh and ugly. I knew that name.
"You mean Feeorin Mumiai?"
"So you do have a heart somewhere in there. You remember what you did? You stripped her of her powers unfairly. You had no right."
"What do you mean no right? She was wrong. She shouldn't have been messing with the weather. You don't just send a tornado to a person who pisses you off." I could barely control myself. Every time I had worked my way through one layer of the binding he placed another. How was he so powerful?
"After you stripped her of her powers she went insane with out her magick. You knew what you were doing. You knew how it would effect her."
"It wasn't my fault that she was abusing her powers. Why does this having anything to do with Morgan though? I don't have time for this. What is wrong with her?" My love laid on her bed soaked with sweat twisting, tossing with pain.
"O this has everything to do with Morgan. You took my love away for me forever. " I hated laying here helpless while my Morgan lay there sick in pain. I tried to cast out my senses, but was barly able to. Her energy was getting weaker.
Hee hee you know me and mah cliff hangers. I love them. Well review and I promise that I will post the next chapter.
