Chapter 9: Revelations.
"Michael Flynn?" Morgan gasped, "but you-you died!" Michael laughed, "Kerry's been a bad girl, she's been lying to everybody all these years, why don't you two tell me what you know of me and I'll correct you."
"Well, Kerry said that you were mùirn betha dàns and so you married, but she didn't know you were a dark woodbane. . ."
"Sorry to cut you off here, she did know, she just didn't want to admit it to herself or anyone else, she was ashamed, kind of pointless really, they all knew." Hunter and Morgan shot a glance over to Kerry who's head was hung and tears streamed from her eyes, "Do carry on" he smirked.
"You both went on your honeymoon to America to visit Maeve, and when you got back a dark wave had destroyed Belwicket, except for Ryann Duffy and Mariah Keefe - who by the way I didn't meet in the circle the other night" Morgan said recalling the night.
"Well you wouldn't because that was huge bunch of lies you told me there" Michael laughed and walked over to Kerry and patted her head, "You've just been lying to yourself and everyone else all these years haven't you," he then turned to Morgan and Hunter "Okay you can stop now, I've heard enough, I'll tell you the truth" He smiled and took a seat on the desk chair and turned it to face Morgan and Hunter.
"Okay, here's the fact's, we were both 20, we met in a bar on Saint Patrick's Day, it was the soppy love at first sight deal, we were mùirn betha dàns,"
"Were?" Hunter asked, "if you were you still should be, you can't just stop being soul mates, we should know" He took Morgan's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Whatever, anyway, her whole family knew I was a dark woodbane, but she ignored it, pretended she didn't know, I, for a while tried to turn good, and I joined Belwicket, much to their disappointment, and again to their disappointment we got married, for a wedding gift I managed to track down Maeve and we went to see her in America as a honeymoon, this was not long before she died. . ."
"She didn't die!" Morgan cut in "She was murdered"
"And by you father I hear," Michael smiled, and Morgan fell silent, "We even got to meet a 5 month old baby Morgan, they loved you so much, but they became ever so jumpy, they knew Ciaran was after them, so they kept rambling on about how they had to give you up, Kerry here offered to take you but Maeve refused she wanted her to grow up away from magicks, and away from Ireland, she was so sure that Ciaran would find you here."
Kerry started to break out of it for a second, "Morgan please forgive me!" she cried out, "Silent you" Michael shouted at her tightening the binding spell even more.
"So then what happened?" Morgan folded her arms, "what reduced you to this?"
"Well being brought up as a dark woodbane doesn't exactly make it easy to stay away from darkness, whilst in America, me and my. . . friends" Michael smiled, "went out one day and found Ciaran, we told him where Maeve was, but we didn't tell him about you my dear, he asked us to perform a dark wave ritual with him, which we did and we sent it to Ballynigel, destroying all but myself, Kerry. . ."
"Ryann Duffy" said a man coming out of the shadows
"And Mariah Keefe" said a woman who then followed him out of the shadows.
How is it that they were in here this whole time and Morgan never knew about it? She thought frantically, it seemed that neither did Hunter.
"They we're with us the whole time, they are dark woodbanes like myself, they joined Belwicket hoping to change it back into its evil roots, they sent the dark wave with myself and Ciaran, when she learned it was I who had done it, she left me and pretended to herself that I was dead, and as you may have learned yourselves now, Kerry is very good at lying to herself."
"And you're back now because. . .?" Morgan asked; "I believe you have something that I wish to use" he smiled.
~~~ The Amulet!!! ~~~ Morgan sent the witch message to Hunter, ~~~ I know, love. ~~~ He replied, ~~~ Keep hold of it; don't let them know we have it on us! ~~~ Morgan sent back.
"Can I have my amulet now please?" he asked holding out his palm, "Amulet? We don't know anything about an amulet!" Morgan yelled at him trying to be as convincing as she could, considering how good witches were at reading people, but she was also blocking anyone from reading her.
"Don't be a fool Morgan," Michael said still flashing that irritating smile across his face, "I know you have it, Kerry told me everything"
Yet again Morgan and Hunter flashed a look over at Kerry, "It's not like she had a choice about it," Ryann laughed, "Yes, we can be extremely convincing,"
Morgan imagined what they had to do to Kerry to get her to confess.
"Now the amulet if you please," Michael growled, Morgan was about to get Hunter to give him it, "We don't have it on us" Hunter said, Morgan agreed with herself that Hunter was a so much more convincing liar.
"Well where is it then?" Michael yelled? "We melted it down, just to be safe, we didn't want something as powerful as that getting into the wrong hands" Hunter gave Morgan a small squeeze on her hand again.
"YOU IDIOTS!" Michael screamed at him, "do you have any idea what you've done?"
Morgan smiled "Yes, we stopped a monster like you from using something dangerous like that amulet"
Michael, Ryann and Mariah looked beaten; they had no choice but to leave.
"You'll be so sorry for this," Michael threatened as they left the library, as soon as they'd left the house, he released his hold on Kerry, who instantly collapsed into a heap on the floor.
Morgan and Hunter ran over to her, "Kerry? Are you okay?" Morgan helped her up, "How are you feeling?"
Morgan's concern for Kerry was great for two reasons, the first being was that Kerry was her mother's cousin, her birth mother's cousin, she was family, and the second being was Morgan had been put under a binding spell before, it was a horrible experience, one she was not hoping to experience again.
"I'll be fine, just feeling a bit nauseous." Kerry replied.
"How did he know that you had the amulet?" Hunter asked
"Well, when we returned to Ballynigel, and saw. . . what it was like, he confessed everything, thinking I would forgive him and love him as I always did and maybe that because my ties with Belwicket were broken, I'd turn dark with him, but I didn't, instead I left him and went to Maeve, I told her everything, by this time she'd given you up, I stayed with her for a month, one day, she and Angus went out to look for a new home, they had brought up the money and could afford it, but 8 hours passed so I obviously started to worry. . ." the poor woman broke into tears.
"After 2 days I called the police, sent out missing people ads, then 3 days later, I got a call, police had found two corpses in a burnt down barn. . ." at this point Kerry could hardly get her words out, and she had started Morgan off, who now had tears lightly falling from the corners of her eyes. "They wanted me to go in and identify the bodies. . . they we're in so much pain Morgan, it must have been awful," Kerry then tried to get as much as she could in between sobs "I couldn't stay, in America anymore, I wanted to go back to Ireland, so I moved here in Cobh."
"But that still doesn't explain how Maeve got the amulet or how Michael knew about it," Hunter said softy.
"When Maeve still loved Ciaran before she realised he had a family, she found it in his belongings, she said something in her told her to take it from him, and then she had a string of dreams about it and about its past," Morgan and Hunter looked at each other.
"Do you have any idea what happened in these dreams?" Hunter asked,
"No," Kerry said quietly, "She didn't tell me much more, just that it was dangerous and that I should take it because if Ciaran finds out that she has it the world maybe in danger, so I had it since, kept it with me everywhere and protected it, When Michael went behind my back with Ciaran, Ciaran asked Michael to find it for him since he was close to me and I was close to Maeve, and now he knows that Ciaran is out of the picture, I'm guessing he wants it for himself"
"Okay, your shivering," Morgan said to Kerry still releasing a few tears from the story, "Hunter, help her into her room, I'm going to make her some tea" Morgan said softly, to which Hunter nodded.
When Kerry was in bed and had drunk her tea, she had fallen asleep straight away, Morgan and Hunter sat in the living room, although they had the TV on, both were too distracted and shaken up to really watch it.
"When do you think we should go home?" Hunter asked breaking the silence, Morgan sighed, "We're not out of danger yet" she said.
Chapter 9: Revelations.
