A/N: Havent really been in the writing mood lately. Im trying to finish something up for a friends baby, and i start school again on Monday. ~~(yes i found that button)~~ is witch messages. * are still italics. Enjoy.

A shrill scream woke me up from my, for once, peaceful slumber. My eyes shot open, and I stumbled to get untangled from the blanket. I groped my way up the stairs, not used of being awakened like this. I found my way to Hunters room, through my incredibly tired eyes.
"Phoenix, shh. It's okay."I sat down next to the screaming body. She looked at me and stopped screaming. "Do you remember anything that happened last night?"
She shook her head, bottom lip trembling lightly. "Where am I?"
"Your at my house, in America" I explained.
"I thought that was a dream." She stood on the bed, and walked into my open arms. "Do I get to stay with you for a while? I missed you."
"Yea, you do sweetie," I pushed her bangs aside. "But you need to call your mom, so let's go." I let her down, and we walked back downstairs. I picked up the cordless and dialed her number, then handed her the phone. I let her into the kitchen, and helped her up into a chair.
"Hi mommy." Phoenix said happily. I smiled, and a note attached to the fridge caught my eye.

***Morgan,
Went to Red Kill. I thought you needed your rest, and I couldn't let
myself wake you. I'll be back before noon.
Love Hunter***

I smiled, pouring some milk into a bowl of cereal for Phoenix. I had
no idea how old this cereal was, seeing as I doubt Hunter had ever ate it. I plopped the bowl in front of Phoenix. Her eyes grew wide. She handed me the phone, and started digging in. "Your as bad as Lynx," I muttered.
"Morgan."
"Yea, sorry. Just admiring your daughters ability to make food disappear."
"What?!" Kieran yelped.
"Oh, no, no. She's eating. No magick."
Kieran sighed, "Don't do that to me. So, when the time comes, how are we going to get her home?"
I bit my lip. Either I would have to go back there, or someone from there would have to fly here. "I don't know Kieran, but we'll figure it all out. Hunter went to visit our friend...I think, this morning, so maybe he'll have some news."
"Ok."
"By the way, congrats on your baby." I said quietly, turning away from Phoenix. I wasn't to sure if she knew yet.
"Thanks," she laughed shakily.
"Bye mommy." Phoenix said loudly. I said bye to Kieran for the second time that morning, and hung up. Phoenix shoved the last bit of cereal into her mouth, then dropped her spoon onto the table. I stared at her, then grimaced when she let out a very un-lady like burp.
"Phoenix!" I exclaimed. She covered her mouth with both her tiny hands, and started to giggle like mad. I watched her in mild amusement till she stopped and finally excused herself. "Well, I guess we'll wait for Hunter to come home, then go see if my mom has any of my old clothes for you." Just then, Dagda strutted into the kitchen.
"Ooo, kitty." Phoenix turned, and crawled off the chair, then chased Dagda out of the kitchen. I shook my head, then dropped it into my hands. I melded my splayed fingers, into my hair, and rubbed slightly. I had a nasty headache. I lifted my head minutes later, and rolled my neck. Phoenix came back in the room, having trouble keeping my hefty cat off the ground.
"What's the kitty's name?" She growled when Dagda finally managed to squirm out of her arms, and found his way to his empty food dish. He sat by his dish, wagging his tail back and forth, until I got up, and found the cat food.
"Dagda." I told her finally, dumping the food into his dish. "Alright, why don't you go brush your hair, and I'll call Hunter."
"Okay." She turned around, and ran up the stairs., without me even telling her where the bathroom was. I shook my head a few seconds later when I heard the toilet flush. I sat back down at the kitchen table and prepared myself for a headache build up. ~Hunter~ Ok, not to bad.
Until ~Morgan? Ok, now it was ouch. I fought the pain and managed to send him back a ~where are you?~ I guess it wasn't the sending of the message that hurt, it was the receiving. ~I'll be home in about two minutes.~ And I left it at that. With my brain now throbbing, I stumbled up stairs to change. I dug through my suitcase, making a mental note to not only find clothes for Phoenix, but myself. I had just pulled my shirt over my head, when Phoenix came in, a comb in hand. As always when she did this back home, she wanted her hair braided. I quickly plaited it, and snapped it secure with the band I had left on Hunter's desk. I looked out the window, just as he pulled up to the curb.
"Okay, let's go." I told her. She ran ahead of me, and skipped downstairs. I came out of the room, just in time to see the little klutz side down the last step. She stood unfazed, then started laughing, when Hunter came in and gave her an odd look. She continued to giggle as she started chasing Dagda around again. I made my way down stairs, and stood by Hunter.
"Burst of energy, she is." He uttered.
"Find anything out?" I looked at him seriously. He leaned his forehead against mine, and closed his eyes. "What? What's wrong?"
"Blast of a headache." He growled. I closed my eyes and kissed him lightly. My head too, was still throbbing. He pulled back and smiled. "I did find something."
"How she got here?" I asked.
"How she's going to go back." He corrected. "We need both covens to have a circle, at the same time. Phoenix will stand in the middle of ours, in her own circle. At the time we're sending her, they will receive her. It's like a transfer of molecules."
The way he left the sentence made me wonder. "But?"
"It's risky. Words need to be said at the exact time."
"What about a lapis luzuli?" I suggested. "Wouldn't that connect everyone in the circle?" Hunter's eyes widened. He kissed me again.
"Brilliant." He kissed me again, and again, until we heard Phoenix squeal. I laughed and let my forehead drop to his shoulder. "Well that was loud."
"That's what I was woken up to." I told him, poking his other shoulder. "We better go see if mom has any clothes for her. Then we should go buy something for Bree and Robbie."
"I already did. It's in the car." I lifted my head off his shoulder and smiled. "Well, I was in the area and..."
"The big, tough, ex-seeker, is getting soft. What'd you buy?"
"Just some clothes, and other little things." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Let's get going." I smirked, and followed him to the door.
"Phoenix. Let's go." I yelled. She came running. Her one bare foot making a louder smack sound on the hard wood floor.
"I don't have shoes," she said. Hunter bent down to her level. "Piggy ride?" Hunter nodded. I shook my head smiling as we left.
"Car seat. She doesn't have a..." I looked in the back seat of Hunter's car. "Car seat." He was on the other side, about to put her in. I waited until she was strapped in and the door was closed, not taking my eyes off Hunter. "Playing dad." I raised my eyebrow. He shrugged. "Your good at it."
"Maybe someday soon, I'll actually be one." He replied cheekily, before jumping in the car. "Where first?"
"I called mom. Her lunch break is in an hour, so we should go see Bree first." I glanced in the mirror. "Wait. Phoenix needs to get dressed."
Hunter cleared his throat, and started on the road to the hospital. "I bought her some clothes while I was out to. The shoes, I don't know if they'll fit or not."
I stared at him in awe. "You're so cute." A couple minutes later, Hunter parked the car, and the three of us lugged in the stuff Hunter had bought.
"Knock, knock." I pushed the door open further than it already was. Bree was flicking channels on the tv, and Robbie was slumped in the chair next to her bed, sleeping. Bree looked over and smiled.
"Finally. I was wondering when you...were..coming, holy crap Morgan." She exclaimed, when she saw our full hands. Turns out, Hunter hadn't only bought clothes, but teddy bears and so much more.
"Don't holy crap me, holy crap Hunter. He didn't even wake me up to go." I chuckled. Bree stared at Hunter in awe, then hit Robbie. He groggily woke up, mumbling something incoherent. He looked at Bree, who was pointing to us. His eyes widened.
"You two spawned off a red-haired three year old without telling us? It hurts." He joked. Phoenix popped her head out from behind my leg shyly. "Ah wow, you brought gifts of guilt."
"Shut up Robbie," Bree laughed. We moved the stuff in, and dropped all the gifts on the ground, by the foot of the bed.
By the time we left, we had all had a chance to hold Hallie and Samara. Robbie had taken us to see Anika, with whom Phoenix had grown a quick attachment to. After, we went back in to see Bree for a few minutes, then decided to leave.
"Hey mom." I hugged her, then moved quickly so Hunter and Phoenix could get in.
"Hi sweetie." She paused when she seen Hunter carrying Phoenix. "Who's this?"
"Remember the night I told you all about Lilith, and the family that I had been staying with? Well, this is the youngest member of the Tierk family. Phoenix." Hunter put her down, but she immediately stood by his feet, and wouldn't move.
"Well, aren't you cute." Mom smiled. I had helped her change into the clothes that Hunter bought her while we were at the hospital. She now stood in a blue overall dress, with a white shirt under it. Phoenix smiled slowly. "I'm Morgan's mom."
"That's why we came. You don't by any chance have any of mine, or Mary k's baby clothes do you?" Mom looked away from Phoenix, and at me again.
"I think I put the boxes in the garage. Let's go check."
"Uh..I need to go raid my closet. Hunter, take Phoenix and go with mom?" He nodded, and lifted Phoenix from the ground again. Unfortunately, the shoes he had bought were too big. While they went outside I went to my room.
When I came out of the house, mom's car was gone, and Hunter was loading a box into the car. My arm's were full of jeans, corduroys, shirts, and camisoles.
"Where'd mom go?" I asked, tossing my clothes in with the box.
"Lured her away." Both Hunter and I spun. "As much as I would have loved to torture her, it just wouldn't be fun anymore. I'm way to strong to piss with mortals now."
"Who the hell are you?" Hunter growled. His hands were balled into fists.
"Oh, that hurts, blondie, it really does. You know me all to well."
"Anna." I whimpered slightly.
She threw her arms out dramatically, "in the flesh." She looked like any other person. Tall, slim woman, with dazzling brown hair. She looked a lot like me, but so much different. Hunter's fist opened, shooting a ball of witch fire at her. She yawned, and flicked her fingers, causing the ball to hit a tree nearby.
"Back off, boyfriend." She warned, "I'm not here for you. Just passing on a message...from me." She looked at me, smirking. "You should have listened to that dream of yours girl. Those Tierks, put up quite a fight. Couldn't hack it in the end. So much devastation, pain, suffering...on their part."
"You sent a dark wave on them?" I demanded. She cackled loudly.
"Oh no dear. Worse. I sent me on them." Then the sky opened up, and swallowed her. Hunter face was a mix of fear, anger and hate.
"She...I...Tierks...oh goddess!" I fell limp, and hit the ground with my knees. I was about to start crying, but something held the tears down. In my head, a rhyme was repeating itself, over and over again. I started to repeat them aloud, ever so quietly at first, until all my pent up emotions exploded, and I was yelling. The fear, the hate, the worry, the sadness, the happy, the excitement, everything left my body. I couldn't begin to fathom what I was saying, doing, or feeling.
Then it hit me. My feet left the ground, and everything spun. I landed with a thud.
"Oh my god."
