Anyway I'm rolling on with the chapter now . . .
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh God, Oh God, Oh God! I screamed to myself.
"Cal, give it up" my dad cried.
Cal! Oh goddess, Cal did all this . . . but how? He was dead, killed by his own mother in her mad pursuit of power.
Suddenly a figure stepped out of the shadows, he looked young maybe 19 or 20, had golden brown eyes, he was very good looking, this was dad's half brother? They were so different? Why was he so young though?
"So Cal, how did you do it?" my dad asked in a bored tone, "I mean you've not come back with a proper body, I can't read you as a human, I can only vaguely sense your soul, I'm surprised you have one, and you haven't aged a bit"
"How could you do this to us?" I blurted before I knew what I was doing
~*~ Moira! Stay back ~*~ my father messaged me
"You somehow come back on some ridiculous revenge mission and stole my mother away from me when I was two weeks old! You're sick!"
Cal through back his head and laughed, "I see a lot of your mothers strength in you"
"Drop dead!" I yelled
Again he laughed, "I've already done that, not that it stopped me"
"And it took you 20 years to finally seek your revenge?" my dad said
"No Giomanach" he said using my fathers coven name, "It's been at work for the last 15 years, you've been hurting and pining for Morgan since the day she went down in that plane, I must say that was a good touch, no one survived that crash when I created a tornado to send it off course and crashing down into the Atlantic, Morgan only survived coz I pulled her through a bith dearc and brought her here"
I felt sick, this is how he did it, "Everyday I asked her to join with me and I would let her out of here so we can start a new life together, but every time she refused because of the poison you fed her about me!"
My dad stood tall with a small grin on his face, "I didn't do anything to make her hate you Cal, you did that yourself when you tried to kill her!"
I saw his nostrils flare; he had nothing to say to that, "She should be with me, we belong together, we're mùirn beatha dàns!" he said
"No Cal" my mother rose to her feet, "I may have loved you once, well at least I thought I did, I was 17, new to Wicca and knew no better, but I never trusted you, never. I belong with Hunter, he is my heart, my soul, he is who I want, not you, never in a million years will it be you" she spat
Cal looked like he had just been slapped.
"So Cal, how did you come back? I'm dying to know" my mother asked
He grinned and looked at Tim, "Ask him," he said
We all turned to face Tim, No! Please god, no! Not Tim, I silently pleaded, "Tim?" I asked him with salty tears rolling down my cheeks
"My mother DIED because of you're bastard father!" he spat, "he stripped her of her powers and left her weak, and died giving birth to me!"
"So you helped by doing the same thing to me? You grew up without knowing your mother . . . so I had to as well?"
"What did you do?" my dad growled
"Dad created a bith dearc to find my mother, but couldn't, instead he found Cal, he was just as pissed with you as he was so my dad offered him a deal in that he'll bring him back if he would help get revenge on you, he used a spell to bring a soul back from the spirit world, and Cal said the best way to attack someone is by attacking their heart, so they took Morgan and left her here, I was raised to help my father and Cal, I wanted to get close to Moira so it will screw you up even more, my father was supposed to bring you here, but he failed, I'm sure by now he will be in custody of the New Charter, so I made it my duty to bring you here myself, it was easy to get you to believe me, anything for your precious Morgan"
I silently sobbed, no, how could he?
"I'm sorry Moira, it's been fun, but your not my type, I cast a spell to make you think I was your mùirn beatha dàns, I bet it will wear off soon, and I was controlling the Tath Meànma, not you"
Normally I would have snapped back but I was too hurt to bother.
"See not only had I destroyed you and Morgan, Giomanach, I screwed up your daughter too," he laughed; I wanted to hurt him, really hurt him.
My dad started chanting in a low Gaelic language, Cal just laughed, "Wow, Giomanach, if I wasn't dead that probably would have hurt me, probably"
I don't know what, but a spell came to my head and I was debating on whether to say it or not while wondering where I got it from? Could it be Ciaran?
"Just because you've died, it doesn't mean I can't kill you again," my father growled
"Niath geroc hasath croac il ne ang de aigh amasch nil torac!" I yelled
Cal froze solid then began to glow an unearthly white, instantly I knew what it did, the glow around him disappeared and he had suddenly aged to how he should be now, I had made him human again.
He regained himself and I threw a large bolt of witch fire at him, as powerful as I could muster up.
He went flying and collided with the wall of the cave with an 'oof'
"How did that happen?" Tim asked
"Not so invincible any more are ya?" I smiled, please with myself
My father put Tim under a binding spell and messaged to me that he messaged the Charter where we were and that they were coming to take Tim, and that they messaged back saying they took Tim's father, but we had to take care of Cal.
"Cal, just give up, my mother doesn't love you, your not wanted," I told him
"You just don't get it do you? It's not your mother I care about anymore; it's your father I want, I want to him suffer, loose all the people he loves and then keep him alive long enough to bare the weight of his loss on his shoulders"
"So basically you're still sore because my mom chose your half brother over you, even though you tried to kill her and then say 'I thought it was for the best'"
Again I managed to hit a sore spot.
"Not just that, because of Hunter, my father ran out on my mother and I,"
"No its was because of your mother that da ran out on you, not me" my father corrected him.
But it became clear that Cal was beyond reasoning, he was out for revenge no matter what.
~*~ Moira stop, I can't protect you! ~*~ I heard my father say in my head, it was taking him a lot to keep the binding spell on Tim.
~*~ Somehow I don't think I need your protection ~*~ I sent
"Scárth menam locrac bith nerc an alleigh!" Cal yelled, the spell knocked me to my knees in a binding spell
"MOIRA!" My mother cried
I could feel my mother try to help me break out of it but it wasn't working, she had been here too long. I felt Sky's strength join with me and some from my father, I was then able to break through the spell, I rose to my feet and grinned when I saw the shocked expression on Cal's face
"You know I think since you've been dead you're powers haven't been so good Sgáth, my 15 year old daughter has managed to break through one of your binding spells" dad laughed
"Same could be said for you" Cal laughed when Tim broke free of his hold I turned to face Tim and I said the same spell I used on his father, he went flying backwards and froze mid air, I wanted to cry but couldn't, instead I picked up a rock from the floor and threw it at him, Tim shattered into pieces, Cal wasn't the only one beyond reasoning.
"Well, she has a capacity for the dark side" Cal smiled
"You think!" I swivelled to face Cal and froze him also, but somehow (unknowing how) I unfroze his head.
"So Cal, what do you think of my dark side now?" I shouted, as I used a rock to shatter his arm.
He yelled in pain, "You think this is torture?" you're already dead!" I screamed as I threw another rock shattering his other arm which let loose another shrill scream from him.
"Moira?" I heard my father say, her rested his hands on my shoulders; he does it a lot, but when he does it it's like he sends his warmth and love into me, but this time it didn't work, I finally broke into tears I turned around and clung to my father crying against him.
"Why? Why me? Why us?" I sobbed
My mother put her arms around us too so we were in a big group hug.
After we pulled apart from one another, we all turned to look at Cal who was still armless in his frozen state.
"So what do we do with him?" Sky asked
"I finish what Moira started," my mother said, she bent down and picked up a rock.
"Morgan! Please! Don't do this . . . you don't want to do this! I love you" Cal pleaded
"Whatever, you should have thought about that before you kidnapped me for 15 years" she threw the rock with all the strength she could and he shattered before us.
Suddenly the tunnels all moved around until it was just one long on leading outside, we could just see the light from the end and the front of the helicopter.
"He had an illusion spell on this place," Sky said repeating what we were all thinking.
It was then we heard the noise of another helicopter coming, "That'll be the Charter," my dad said.
"Can we get out of here please?" I said not waiting for them to catch up with me.
