A/n: Sorry bout that ending, I know it was evil but that the life is. . . a
kick in the balls (even the majority – most even likely everybody who reads
sweep fics are female. . .) Anyway, away from the babbling. . . *rolls eyes
at self & decides to randomly swizzle on chair trying desperately not to
fall off* moving forward with the chapter. . . which I am sure will answer
a lot of your questions, I know this has been done before but ah well, I'm
trying to make it as different and as good a possible!

"Hunter?" I gasped.
An older, frail looking man opened the door of Justine's cottage, it was Hunter, he looked withdrawn and tired and at the same time he looked embarrassed, when he looked up and gazed into my eyes for a second his eye's brightened.
"Morgan?" he rasped
I didn't hold back the tears that begun pouring from my eyes.
"Ah Ciaran, Morgan just on time"
I looked over Hunter's shoulder to see Justine Corceaux with a huge smile on her face. I turned and saw my fathers face grow red, his jaw and teeth clenched; I turned my eyes back onto Hunter, our eyes locked onto to each other and we didn't turn away.
"Justine, I need to speak with you a moment" Ciaran growled,
She smiled, "Of course, all of you come on in!" she sing songed as if every thing was normal, which made me grow angry, it was then after I basked in seeing Hunter's presence I realised that she stole him away from me.
Ciaran and Justine disappeared into the kitchen; I resumed my gaze back upon Hunter.
"OH Goddess, its, its really you" he choked lifting a shaky hand and touching my cheek.
I felt his fingers tremble, he was so frail, he had only aged 5 years, "Oh, Hunter, what has she done to you?" I whispered
He looked down, "She, she has my true name" he murmured, "I couldn't do anything but what she says"
I clenched my hands into tight fists, I went into the house and stood outside the closed kitchen door where I listened to my father arguing with Justine, quickly masking myself so they wouldn't sense me.
"What the hell do you think you were doing Justine!" he yelled
"Revenge . . . look it up"
"Not only did you bring my daughter face to face with her mùirn beatha dàns again but she will turn against me now! You idiot! I can't have that! I need her on my side!"
"Shut it Ciaran, Hunter was supposed to be with me, so I made him come with me, and I want his whore to suffer like I did!"
"What about the witch that was bad mouthing me?" my father yelled
"There is no witch! I made it up so you'd bring Morgan here so I show her what she'd missed all these years, and then I'll hurt her all over again!"
What the hell did that mean? I wondered.
"You fool, you really think you could take on Morgan, she's the most powerful witch this world has known,"
"But if she witnesses her beloved Hunter die for real, it would crush her and she would be vulnerable."
"Morgan doesn't work like that, she acts upon rage, not sorrow, she will mutilate you! You've not thought this through Justine, besides I thought you liked Hunter, and now you just going to kill him?" my da rambled
"Yes its true I felt an attraction to him, but he became useless, now he's all weak, he's no fun anymore so I got bored of him, I thought it would be an opportunity to bring Morgan and kill her for making him like that, if he'd just came with me in the first place none of this would have happened!" she said.
That was it, I had heard enough of her ridiculous crap, I threw open the door.
"You stole him from me" I growled, "it wont be I who suffers it will be you! Kiss this bitch!" I screamed at her and murmured a spell in Gaelic, which made her collapse on the floor, her eyes rolled back in her head and she died, it was that simple. . . what had happened was, the spell I said burned her insides.
"That's my girl" Ciaran smiled, "Come on let's go home,"
I looked back at Hunter who was standing in the hallway, he look a little bit better now Justine was gone.
"Da, I need to talk with Hunter," he looked at me
"No, either you choose him, or you choose me, I cannot allow this again"
Tears yet again clouded my eyes, "You're giving me an ultimatum?" I asked, my father nodded.
Hunter took my hand and squeezed it, "Your choice Morgan" he said with a horse voice, "Your choice"
I thought back to when I had shape shifted with my father all those years ago and how I had chose good over evil, could I do it again? I had been through a lot since then, I'd changed, my heart cried out and I remember how it felt to feel so in love, suddenly my common sense came back to me as well as all the guilt over the things I had done in the past 5 years, the dark waves, the blood rituals, more shape shifting and so much more dark things.
I sobbed, "Oh Goddess, what have I done?"
"Morgan?" Ciaran said.
I let go of Hunter's hand, walked up to my father and kissed him on the cheek.
"I love you," I said, "But Hunter belongs in my heart, he is half of who I am, I can't let him go again, you must understand?"
Ciaran let out a low grumble noise, he's pissed I thought. "No Morgan, I cannot, we all make our own choices, unfortunately, I hate to do this, but after what I know of you, you are too much of a threat to be opposing me, I'm sorry child" he then muttered the teleportation spell and left the room.
I turned back to face Hunter, "Oh Goddess" I sobbed, our lips met and we joined into a passionate kiss, the 5 year separation had taken its toll
"Hunter? What did she do to you?" I gasped
"Never mind me, why were you with Ciaran? How did he do that? We stripped his powers"
I begun to sob more, I was so embarrassed at what I had done, we sat down on Justine's couch and I told him everything that had happened to me from the moment he disappeared, to just now.
"I'm so ashamed Hunter, the things I've done, it was like I was beyond thinking straight and I just wanted somebody to lead me, it was like I was just watching a movie and was waiting for it to end"
He didn't say anything instead he pulled me to him, I rested my head on his chest as he ran his fingers through my hair, "I'm so proud of you," he said.
I looked up, "What? But the things I've done. . ." "Shh" he said putting his finger on my lips, "It wasn't your fault, you came back from it, and I know it must have been hard to just leave your father like that"
I nodded and rested my head on Hunter again, "I missed you so much" I whispered.
"I missed you too, especially after what I have been through here"
"Hunter? What has she done to you?" I asked again
"I'm sorry Morgan, I couldn't help anything I did, she had total control over me, I hated every moment of it,"
Suddenly I understood, I was repulsed, how could someone do this to another person? She forced him to sleep with her, kiss her, touch her.
"How I wished it was you Morgan," I saw him trying to hold back the tears, "I did everything for her, I was basically a slave, but I was being controlled like a puppet on a string"
I held him and kissed him tenderly on the lips, "No strings attached" I said, he nodded, "Freely and willingly," he whispered into my ear.
We then made love, it was beautiful and magickal, we came together finally after all these years.
"We have to go back you know" Hunter said after our reuniting.
I nodded, "Bu how can I face them. . ." again he put his fingers to my lips, "We'll deal together, how can I face them, they think I'm dead" he smiled.
"What about Ciaran?" I asked
"You have his true name" he smiled, "we can stop him like we did before"
I nodded, "Let's take Justine's car, we'll drive back to Widow's Vale" Hunter said.
"I don't ever want to be apart from you again," I sobbed
"We won't, nothing will ever break us apart again, I'll never leave you"
