A/n: No, it's still not over there's a little more to it than that =D
Please read and review! (I love you all! Mwah!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
My mother has been back a year now, She and dad have rebuilt their relationship and are thinking about renewing their marriage, mom and I have spent a lot of time together getting to know each other.
Mom's magick, thankfully, has fully returned to, it was frustrating in the beginning for her, it was so hard just to kindle a fire, something that is used to be so simple to her, but its come back to her now.
We have begun redecorating our home to put a new start on our lives together.
Its summer break so we have lots of family outings.
Mom and I were painting her bedroom while dad was out buying some new furniture for it, I put down my paint brush to admire our near complete work, it was a cream colour with a coffee coloured carpet,
"Can I have my room like a dark blue and purple?" I asked
"Wont that make your room really dark?"
"That's the basis of its appeal," I laughed
She shrugged, "I don't see why not"
I smiled and went down to make us some sandwiches, and as I was about to head back upstairs I felt a presence near the front door, obviously mom had felt it too as she was heading downstairs, it was a blood witch, a male, no one I've met before, but there was something about him . . .
I opened the door and saw a boy about my age and height; he had deep blue eyes and thick brown hair that wasn't very tidy.
"Hi" he panted,
I smiled, "Hi" I replied, he smiled back at me showing a dimple in one of his cheeks.
"Can I help you?" I asked
"Does Morgan Niall live here?" he asked, he had a beautiful Irish accent
"Yes, that's me" my mother said coming up behind me, I felt her casting her senses, trying to read the boy.
"I need your help," he said
We invited him in and when we were all sat on the couch drinking tea, when my dad came in
"Hello" he smiled at the boy, "they're delivering the furniture, it'll be here in the morning," he said turning his attention to my mom, she gave him a quick look as if to say, 'not now dear'
He came and sat beside her on the couch taking her hand in his.
"So what's your name?" I asked
"Ian Delaney," he replied, "I've come all the way from Cobh Ireland." He told us; he gazed deep into my eyes for a second like we were suspended in time.
"Achem" my mom gave a fake cough
Then Ian reluctantly switched his attention back to them, "your coven Belwicket has discovered you're still alive and need your help, my mother is the high priestess of a rival coven called Ealltuinn but I recently discovered she's been working dark magick against Belwicket because it's a good woodbane coven, so I freaked out and went to Belwicket for help and my mother has been after me ever since, Katrina Byrne the coven leader told me that you are the only one that can help us"
I glanced over at my mother who was processing this information.
"It is time I went back, I feel like my calling is to lead Belwicket, what is this Ealltuinn doing to Belwicket?" she asked
"They've been draining their energy at circles, sending black clouds during circles that suffocate them . . . that kind of stuff" he replied, "when I found out . . . I couldn't look at my mother again, I had to get out of there so I went to Katrina and I asked how I could help them, so she put me on a plane and asked me to fetch you"
My heart sank . . . what is it with evil parents and their children, something deep in me wanted to trust him so badly, but after the whole, mom/Cal/Selene thing and then with me and Tim . . . I couldn't.
I kept my eyes fixed on him and then he turned and met my gaze, "What's wrong?" he asked
"I need to trust you," I said, "but no matter how much I want to, I can't, I don't trust people so easily anymore,"
I quickly put my fingers on his temples and feed on his mind while he wasn't suspecting it so he wouldn't have time to control it, it was just me finding what I needed to know.
When I saw he was telling the truth I wanted to pull away but couldn't because there was another image, Ian and I were sat in a beautiful field with the sun shining down on us, we are smiling looking deep into each others eyes, it was blissful and serene.
Then I pulled away, "What was that?" Ian asked
"I don't know, but I needed to know the truth, I'm so glad that you are"
He smiled, "You've been through a lot, I can't blame you," he said, obviously he had received from me also.
We smiled at each other falling deep into each other's eyes, I pulled away when I realised my parents we staring at us.
"Well, I think it's time for us to move to Ireland" Morgan sighed,
I pouted, "I don't want to, I like it here, near my friends and family, near Kithic"
"I don't really want either," my mother replied, "We've made a good life here, but Belwicket needs protection, and I am the rightful leader"
I saw my dad take mom's hand and kissed her temple, "Whatever you decide I'll support," he said softly
Since mom had been back, dad had returned to normal, he was the calm, content, caring, over protective dad he used to be, and I was glad.
"What if we get Belwicket to move here, a new start in Widow's Vale will probably be what they need, maybe my mother won't bother them then" Ian suggested
My shook his head, "You mother won't work like that" he said, "if she wants the good woodbanes destroyed, she'll do it no matter where they are, besides we can't just leave her practise dark magick freely, we have to turn her into the Charter"
Ian hung his head and nodded, "I understand," he said
"But hey that's not a bad idea though" my mom said
We all looked at her, "We can ask Belwicket to come here and Kithic can join Belwicket, it can become a mixed coven,"
I nodded, "Yes, please I want to stay here"
"So do I," Ian smiled keeping his eyes on me
My mom got up and called Katrina.
When she came back into the room with a smile on her face, "She agreed, the whole coven are going to move up, they we're actually glad for the invitation because Ealltuinn shook the members up so badly they were thinking of disbanding, Ealltuinn will probably follow just to finish what they started, but its nothing we can't handle, we need to call Kithic and tell them we're becoming one with Belwicket, maybe then I can be initiated as a high priestess"
My mother had been studying for the past year to be a high priestess.
So that night we had a coven meeting including Uncle Killian and his sons who had joined Kithic when mom came back. Everyone thought it was a good idea to join Belwicket but some were disappointed that Kithic would come to an end because they've been in it since they were 17 years old, not that I could blame them.
"For a new start" my mom raised a toast holding up a glass of champagne
"A new start," everyone replied and did the traditional thing of taking a drink.
