A/N: Guess i'll post before i go fail my math final. See the joy in my
words. Anyways, enjoy!
"No!" I sat up. The room was pitch black, except the full moon's light seeping through the window. I wasn't on the couch anymore, but in bed with Hunter again. Hunter lifted his head and opened his eyes in time to see me bolt from the room. I picked up the phone, and dialed the Tierks. No answer. I pushed off, then talk and re-dialed.
"Morgan," Hunter whispered hoarsely. "What are you doing?"
"Hello?"
"Lynx! Are you okay? What's going on over there?" I said into the phone. Hunter was leaning on his door, watching me in the dark.
"No I'm not okay. It's seven thirty in the morning Morgan, and you woke me up. That and you sound crazy."
"Listen to me Lynx, I had this dream. Anna, she's coming after you guys." Hunter walked up to me, and stole the phone.
"Lynx, it's Hunter."
"Oi, people. Sleep, it's a good thing." I heard Lynx grumble.
"Okay. Bye Lynx." Hunter held the phone up out of my reach, when I lunged for it.
"Give me that. I need to call them back." I stretched my arm, but it was no use. I let my arm fall to my side. "What's going on? I need you to talk to me." He looked down at me, his green eyes calming me a little. "Come on, let's go back to our room. Don't want to wake Sky." He led me back into our room, setting the phone and his desk, and we sat on the bed facing each other. I went over every single thing that happened in my dream, from the people to the color of the walls. "What does it mean?"
Hunters jaw was set. "It means we're going to pay Alyce a visit, and get her to make you some tisane." I leaned further away from him.
"You're not serious? What if these dreams are prophetic? I can't just let them be stopped." I shouted. I got off the bed, and started pacing. "I cant just stop dreaming these things if they're going to come true. Wouldn't it be a major help, if I seen it before it happened."
"Morgan,"
"What good is dulling down a gift I was given?"
"Morgan,"
"I need to keep everyone out of danger,"
"Morgan,"
"What?!"
"Shut up!" Sky yelled from down the hall. I stopped moving and dropped to the floor, banging my head on the wall, my eyes went blank.
***Hayley and Xander bounced into their parent's room.
"Phoenix is gone!" The both yelped. Luke jumped out of bed instantly dashing out of the room.
"What do you mean she's gone?" Kieran asked them. Hayley started bawling.
"Hayley said she was there, then poof, gone." Xander explained. Kieran frowned, biting her lip. She pulled Hayley and Xander close to herself, and rocked back and forth.
"She's not downstairs, or in Morgan's room." Luke gushed.
"Where you awake when she..went poof, Hayley?" Kieran looked at her daughter, who nodded. "Was she asleep?"
"I think so. She rolled over, said Morgan, and then she was gone."***
I grunted, as I felt Hunter lift me off the ground. "Are you okay?"
"Phoenix.," I mumbled. Suddenly, both Hunter and I were dropped to the ground, a ball of weigh scaring us both, when it landed on me. Sky burst in the room, ready to yell, but stopped.
"What the hell is going on in here? And who the hell is that?" She looked at us. I was half sitting on Hunter, who was layed out flat on the ground. I looked on my lap, where my eyes met a very familiar red-haired girl.
"Phoenix!" I stared at her wide-eyed, as she started to wail. She turned around, and looked at me. Her scream turned into a squeal as she threw her small arms around my neck.
Sky groaned, rubbing her temples, "can I go back to bed?"
"I'm sorry Sky." I winced. She nodded, yawned, and went back to her room.
"Can we not sit on me please." Hunter said, while attempting to sit up. I let Phoenix get to her feet, then stood, and helped Hunter stand. We both turned to Phoenix. She was standing innocently, one foot covered in a bunny sock, her other foot bare. Her blue pajamas were rumpled, along with her hair.
She tilted her head, "Morgan you came home." I picked her up and sat her on the bed, then crouched down in front of her.
"Sweetie, your at my house." I said quietly. "Do you know how you got here?"
She shook her head slowly, and looked at Hunter. "You stop her." Hunter raised an eyebrow, and hunkered down beside me.
"What?" He asked her.
"How did I get here?" She looked around the room. Her eyes finally rested on me. "I had a dream about you. You were scared, and hurt, and I wanted to help you." I looked at Hunter.
"And you just woke up here?" He asked gently. She scratched her head, and nodded. "Why don't you lay down Phoenix, and I'm going to talk to Morgan, okay?" Phoenix turned around and crawled into the middle of the bed. It looked like it was about to eat her, it was so big. She was delighted with the bed, and bouncing when we walked into the hall.
"Maybe we should go into the bathroom?" I whispered. I did not want to wake Sky again. That, I had just learned, was a dangerous thing to do. Hunter nodded, and we went in.
I sat down on the toilet seat, while he stayed standing. "Could she..could anyone just do that? Fall from the roof out of no where?"
"Did she fall, or just pop?" Hunter was truly confused, and that didn't happen often. "All I know is she landed, and made a human pile of people."
I smirked. "Actually I think she popped, and fell." I looked up, thinking, then shook my head. "That's besides the point, have you ever heard of anyone being able to do this?"
"I've heard myths, but nothing set in stone. I can guarantee it wasn't a three year old, if someone ever did it."
"Maybe's its her." I said quietly. "Couldn't I like, ask her questions only Phoenix would know? Do a tath meanma on her?"
"You can try." Hunter sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. We went back to his room, and found Phoenix sound asleep, curled in a tiny ball, hugging a pillow that was damn near the same size as her. She rolled over onto her stomach, sticking her bum in the air, like always, before rolling back on her side, pillow clutched tightly to her body.
I touched Hunter's arm smiling. "It's her." He took my hand, and we stood there watching her sleep. "I should phone Kieran."
"Okay." Hunter breathed. I picked the phone up from off his desk, and headed downstairs. The phone rang and rang. I sent a witch message to Kieran, telling her to pick the phone up.
"Morgan? Phoenix is gone. We cant find her." Kieran cried.
"Kieran, she's fine. She's here."
"Oh thank the goddess." I waited. "What?! How did she get there?" I knew that was coming. Kieran always was a little...slow. It took her a few extra seconds to respond.
"See, that we don't exactly know. She kinda..popped outta no where." I said weakly.
"How are we going to get her back here? We don't have any money for her to be flying back, and I wouldnt want her to anyways."
"She can stay here with us for a
while."
"Well, what about clothes?"
"I can buy her some." I offered. "Maybe my mom still has some clothes from when I was little."
"This makes no sense." Kieran grumbled.
"I know. Don't worry about her too much though. She's safe." I hope.
"Yea. Okay."
"Hunter and I will go to our friends shop, read through her books. Try and find an explanation." I assured her.
"Can I talk to her?"
"She's asleep. Do you want me to wake her?"
"Oh, no then. Can u get her to call me later?"
"Will do. Bye Kieran, we'll figure this out." We gave our last bye's and hung up. I sat on the couch, staring out the window into the darkness. I knew Phoenix had immense powers, she proved that when she busted threw my shield. But could she, a three year old, who had never even attended a circle in her short life, be able to do these all these amazing things? Could a normal witch do any of these things?
I don't know how long I stared out the window thinking, but it was starting to get a little lighter outside, when I had finally felt my eyelids drop. I vaguely took note of Hunter coming downstairs, and covering the two of us with a blanket, before sleep had fully taken over my body.
