Chapter 10: Follow her.
That Night Morgan and Hunter had fallen asleep on the couch and were woken the next morning by a less shaken up Kerry, Morgan was surprised that Hunter didn't wake up at his usual 6am, for the time was past 10.30am.
"You feeling okay?" Morgan asked Kerry, "Yeah, just woke up with a few aches and pains, nothing to worry about, How come you two fell asleep on the couch?" Kerry eyed the pair who didn't really move from their seats, they just sat up straighter, Morgan shrugged, "Just got too comfortable and fell asleep I guess"
"So how are you two? Okay I hope?" Kerry said extremely quickly, "Err, we're both fine" Hunter said glancing quickly at Morgan, who happened to do the same.
"Okay, erm. have you got any plans for today? Do you know when you're going home yet?" Again she rambled really quickly.
"No, we don't know what we're doing today, or when we're leaving" Morgan said, yet again Morgan and Hunter glanced at each other, they knew what they were thinking - what's wrong with Kerry?
"I'll just go put the kettle on, I'm dying for a cup of tea" Kerry said walking off into the kitchen, "Would you two like one?" she called "Please" Hunter and Morgan both replied, "Sugar?" she called, "Two please" Morgan called, "None for me thank you" Hunter replied.
"It's just occurred to me that I haven't kissed you in a while," Hunter smiled, to which Morgan could only grin, they leaned in and gave each other a soft meaningful kiss, which was interrupted by Kerry, "Morgan you like your tea milky don't you?" "Yes" "And Hunter you like yours quite strong, is that right?" "Yes, thank you" Hunter called.
"Is she okay?" Morgan asked Hunter quietly, "She's been acting all jumpy and wired all morning?" "I don't know" Hunter trailed of thoughtfully.
"Here we go!" Kerry smiled as she handed Morgan and Hunter a cup of tea each, "I thought you were dying for a cup of tea yourself" Hunter said noting the absence of a cup in her hand and how she was stood over them smiling.
"Oh, yes how foolish of me, I was so busy getting yours right I forgot my own!" Kerry gave a nervous laugh, and then turned back into the kitchen and Morgan and Hunter heard the sound the kettle being filled with water.
"Okay, now I'm worried" Morgan said quietly not wanting Kerry to hear her. Hunter sniffed the tea; he was a bit suspicious of her behaviour and thought she might have spelled the tea or put some random herbs in it, that shouldn't be, but after a little examination, it was clean, so was Morgan's.
When Kerry came in the living room again, and again with an absence of a cup of tea, Hunter and Morgan decided to question her.
"Are you quite alright? You've been acting all jittery this morning like you've been drinking too much coffee, or you're. . ." "High?" Morgan interrupted "Exactly" Hunter nodded.
Kerry laughed, "I'm fine," she said in a high-pitched voice.
"Kerry, please, what's going on?" Morgan asked "Nothing, I. . .promise" she answered with a definite hesitation before she said promise.
Kerry picked up her heavy cardigan that was hanging over a wooden chair in the corner of the room, which although Morgan thought was a ridiculous place to put a wooden chair, it seemed to look right in the room. Kerry put on the cardigan and headed for the front door.
"Kerry?" Hunter said, "Kerry? Where are you going?" Morgan said as she got up to follow her, "Just to Market, be back later!" she cried, as soon as she got halfway down the walk she heard Morgan's voice behind her.
"Well if you're going to Market wouldn't you need your purse?" Kerry turned and saw Morgan holding it out for her, "And your shoes for that matter," Hunter added, who stood beside Morgan.
Kerry gave a false laugh, "Oh how silly of me! I'm such a scatterbrain!" She walked past Hunter and Morgan walked into the pantry where she slipped of her slippers and put on her shoes.
"Okay then, I'll be off. . . again! Bye!" Kerry called, and then practically ran down the walk and out the gate.
Hunter and Morgan stared after her with worried but utterly bewildered expressions on their faces.
"Follow her?" Morgan asked "Follow her" Hunter confirmed.
They left the house and locked the door behind them, then ran down the street in the direction Kerry went until they could see her; they stayed quite a distance behind her so she wouldn't sense them as bad within the large crowd of the Cobh market place, but not too far back that they would loose her.
"Where is she going?" Morgan asked, to no one in particular, she just made the random comment aloud.
They saw Kerry, going through the heavy crowds of the Sunday market and walk up the sea front to a small rented cottage near the Kennedy Pier. Morgan and Hunter ducked by a big hedge when Kerry turned to look down the street to see if she had been followed, Hunter and Morgan quickly cast a see-me-not spell and carried on walking down the street, it appeared that she couldn't see them as she walked straight inside the cottage.
Hunter and Morgan cast stronger see-me-not spell on themselves, one so strong that no witch could sense them coming, a spell Hunter learnt from his days as a seeker, they then walked up to the house and looked through the windows. But all the curtains were drawn.
So they trod carefully to the back of the house where there was a back door, Hunter tried it, damn! Locked, he thought in frustration.
Morgan tugged at his arm and pointed at a doorway to the cellar. "Brilliant!" Hunter whispered as he kissed Morgan's forehead.
To their surprise it wasn't locked, they let themselves in and found themselves in a really dark, damp basement that looked as if no one had been in it for decades!
They then realised when the basement door hadn't been locked. It was locked, its just the lock was so rotten that it broke apart when Hunter pulled it open.
They shut the basement door behind them and they were engulfed by darkness, Morgan decided to impress her fiancée by murmuring a little spell that created a tiny ball of light in front of them, Hunter smiled at her, "How'd you learn that?" Hunter asked, Morgan bowed; "Courtesy of Alyce" Morgan smiled.
When she was first discovering her heritage a friend of theirs named Alyce Fernbrake had helped Morgan by performing a Tàth Meànma Brach with her, or an advanced Wiccan mind meld as Morgan called it, Morgan needed more knowledge about the craft since she was such a strong witch but had no tuition, plus she needed more protection from the darkness that craved her power. When two people do a Tàth Meànma Brach together they are practically sharing everything with one another, knowledge, thoughts, feelings, experiences past and present - everything.
Then at the same time Morgan and Hunter looked up, they heard the creaking of floorboards and the murmuring of voices.
The little ball of light flew of Morgan's palm and whizzed across the room and stopped in front of a door which leads into the house, the couple walked up to it, here, the voices were louder and clearer.
"Did you get it Kerry, that's all I'm frigging asking you?"
Hunter and Morgan both went wide-eyed as they recognised the voice as Michael's.
"Yes, but w-why do you want to use this? Its too - too dangerous." Kerry stammered
"Kerry, you love me right?" Michael said smoothly, "yes, b-but" "well if you do this for me, we'll be together again and you'll not get hurt in this, you'll be part of something great" Michael interrupted.
"Goddess, he's using emotional blackmail on her!" Morgan said almost a whisper. "That's not all" Hunter whispered back, "I think I know why we slept so late on the couch and why she was acting all jumpy"
Morgan gave him a questioning look, "Morgan she spelled us! She took the amulet from my pocket, it's not there anymore!"
"Why is she doing this, I thought she was on our side?" Morgan asked "For love," Hunter said, "She love's him so much, they're mùirn betha dàns, how could she not do something like this for him if he's blackmailing her as well, this is just a cruel play on emotions" Hunter spat.
"Well, well what do we have here?" Michael opened the door, and saw them.
Shit, Hunter thought, I was too loud, double shit, nice going Hunter! He said scolding himself.
