MORGAN'S POV
A couple of days past, and the results came in. Of course Mother and Father were... Mother and Father. But Mo... Mrs. Rowlands (this is still hard to get used to) went ballistic.
"Look at all we have given you!" She yelled. I began to feel guilty. "And what have you given us?" Mary K. gasped. "You could have given us love, but instead you seek out your birth parents!"
"She gave us a family! She's my sister! Weather she, or you, says it or not!" Mary K. said, near tears. Mom turned to glare at her.
"Mary Kathleen! That's enough!" Mary K. gave me one final look, then bowed her head and walked out of the room.
"Um..." I said. Mom turned back to me. Her face was almost red.
"Go. Go out." She was pointing out the door. She didn't really mean that... did she? I searched Mom's face.
"I mean it Morgan! Get out! Now!" I walked outside. Dad slowly closed the door and I caught a glimpse of Mom collapsing into his arms. Of course my car was sitting there. I got in and poured on speed. I hoped Hunter was home.
It was 7:00, after dinnertime, but I hadn't eaten anything, and I knew Hunter was a late eater. I walked up the steps to his house, trying to compose myself incase Mr. Niall opened the door.
"Morgan?" Hunter asked, surprised,. He knew that I usually wasn't allowed out this late on school nights. But it didn't matter. If he let me, I was staying all night. Or at least until Mom cooled down.
And I won't lie to you. I actually almost hoped that she didn't cool down until tomorrow morning. I wanted to spend the night with Hunter more than anything.
"Um, could I come in?"
"Of course." He smiled as he shut the door. "Food is ready." He kissed me.
"Mmm. My favorite." I smiled back.
"Where's your Dad?" I didn't see him anywhere.
"Out with Sky. They went to England to pick up Alwyn. She's coming for her 17th birthday."
"That's great!"
"Yeah." Hunter gave me a mischievous smile. "They won't be back for a couple of days." I smiled as I wriggled out of his arms.
"Food. Where is this food you spoke of?" Hunter laughed.
"The spaghetti is in there." He gestured toward the kitchen. He looked at me. "Sit down. I'll bring it in."
We started eating.
"So why are you here?" Hunter popped the question. Uh-oh. I frowned and played with my spaghetti. I wondered what he would say to the real story.
"Could we leave that until later?" I asked. Hunter flinched, then looked at me, surprised.
"What happened the last time you said that?" He teased. I blushed, remembering Canada. (A/N If you don't get this, I meant what happened before Hunter went to Canada where they almost did it, and Morgan said that. Go look it up if you must. But finish this chapter first!) I shyly smiled at him.
"Do you want to try it again?" Hunter smiled seductively. He leaned in close.
Okay, lets pause here, I thought. Review of facts. My Mom kicked me out of the house, Sky and Daniel were out all night and tomorrow morning, too. And now Hunter was asking me to...
"Morgan?" Hunter kissed my neck and took my hand. Of course, I thought foggily. This is a great idea.
"Yes..." Hunter gave me this gorgeous smile, then picked me up and began carrying me up the stairs.
"Hunter!" I said, uncharacteristically giggling. "Put me down!" Hunter stopped, kissed me, and then kept going. He went to his room, and dropped me on his bed.
"Now," He said. "I have you exactly where I want you." I shivered at his tone.
CIARAN'S POV
I woke up with a headache. Maeve was not there.
I walked outside the house and looked down the street. The seeker's house was not far from here. I bet Morgan was there. I walked along the pathway, ignoring most of what was around me.
I could not, of course, ignore the big black cloud that had started to follow me. I finally turned to it. It was a taibhs. I worked with them, I should know.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want revenge." Ok... that helps.
"On who?"
"Your daughter and her family." Great. Did that mean Maeve and me too?
"Meaning me."
"No. Her family that will come. With Hunter." Seeker. So they actually will have children.... Hmmm, nasty thought.
"Why do you want revenge?"
"You'll see! I'll get it! My Kyle and me! We'll get it!"
"Who's Kyle?" The taibhs took form of a human for a second, before fading away. Well that was an odd experience, I thought as I began walking again. But I will not tell Morgan about it. It will do her no good.
Because that seeker and her better not be having a family any time soon.
I reached the seekers house and felt a huge wave of emotion. I knew Morgan was here.
I knocked on the door. No one answered, and I heard muffled voices from inside. I heard someone come down the stairs and cast their senses. The door swung open.
"Ciaran." Hunter said. I scanned him. He didn't look ruffled, and his hair was not messy. Good sign.
"Yes. I figured Morgan would be here."
"Yes. She's..."
"Right here." Morgan said. She didn't look bad either. Except for the slight up tilt of her shirt. Hmmm.
"Ah, Morgan. I need to talk to you."
"About?" Hunter looked at the both of us. He told us to sit down in the living room and he brought tea. When we were settled down, I started.
"Morgan, do you know of the Riordan amulet?"
"Yes."
"Good. Well, in order for you to receive it, you need to do a number of things. A) You need to actually be our child. B) You must be under 18."
"My Birthday is soon." Morgan said. Hunter sat up straighter. I knew what he was thinking. I had heard him before. He was going to propose to her then. "November 26th. That's in a week."
"Right. So we need to work on readopting you."
"You guys also have to get remarried." I couldn't help smiling. Married. To Maeve, at last.
"That too. I think the ceremony should be on your birthday. Maeve agreed."
"Okay." Morgan said shortly. In a flash I caught what she was thinking. 'I hope this birthday will be better then last year's birthday.'
"What happened on your last birthday?" Morgan flinched and looked up at me. Hunter looked at the floor and rubbed a disappearing scar on his neck.
"How did you know...?"
"A simple spell. I'll teach it to you later, if you want. What happened?" The phone rang. Mrs. Rowlands. What did she want? Morgan looked at Hunter, eyes wide. He gave her hand a little squeeze and picked up the phone.
Interestingly, I noticed that before he picked it up, he muttered a little glamour spell. Now he sounded like his father. Dirty little trick, but it seemed like it worked.
HUNTER'S POV
"Hello?" I sounded like Da now, that glamour spell had worked.
"Hunter? Is that you? I need to speak to Morgan." Mrs. Rowlands sounded angry and upset and worried. When Morgan had told me what really happened, I told her that she should go back, that they would be worried. I was right... sort of.
"No, this is not Hunter. This is his Father, Daniel Niall. Hunter left last night to go to England with his cousin and will not be back for a couple of days."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry. Goodbye." I hung up the phone. Morgan smiled at me.
"You do realize," She said. "That now, if I go back, you're going to have to pretend your not there?"
"Well, yeah, now that you mention it.... Ah bloody hell." Morgan laughed.
Ciaran gave us a half smile. I don't know if he is capable of giving a real smile. MORGAN'S POV When Ciaran finally left it was decided that he and Maeve would be married a day before my birthday, and that I would get the amulet on my birthday. I sat down on the couch, and Hunter gathered me in his arms. We just lay like that, Hunter slowly rocking me back and forth. "Morgan," He said quietly, "You need to go back." "I know." I willed the tears to go away, "But I can't." "Morgan..." He seemed at a loss as to what to say. I knew Hunter didn't mind having me here, but he wanted me to mend things with my family. "Soon." I said. "I'll go soon." "The longer you leave it, the bigger it gets." I looked up at him, and he smiled. "I'll make a deal with you," He said. "If you go back and talk to you family, then I'll let you have a replay of last night." I laughed. "You have a deal. Lets shake on it." "Ok. Now go." I slowly got up. When I did reach the door, Hunter kissed me.
"You can do this Morgan." "I'll make another deal with you." I said. Hunter's eyebrows rose. "Yes?" "You have to have your car- with the engine on- sitting outside my house for at least 10 minutes, just incase I need to make a quick get away." Hunter considered it, and then sighed. "I don't like it, but it's a deal." ~ Now go and review. I'm typing the next chapter, so that should be up soon. The endof this story is nearing! Please stick with me till the end! I know this was short, but she's gonna talk to her parents soon! And then Hunties gonna propose soon! That'll be good! Also... I have some other stories I'm gonna post soon. Please read those!!!
