Chapter Four: A Different World.
"What!" Moira burst out indignantly
"Moira if I didn't think it was for the best I wouldn't have suggested it" I said reasonably.
"But you need me here – not thousands of miles away" she said incredulously.
"Moira the elders are good people, you would be safe with them... and it's not forever. Just until I find out what's going on." I sighed, Serves me right for trying to reason with someone as stubborn as my daughter.
"Moira. Morgan's right you need to be somewhere were you will be safe, and after what's happened; the visions, the attack on Morgan and now last night on the Coven, we can't take the chance that whoever- whatever- is doing this might come after you too" Hunter injected.
"I can handle it, I'm not a baby!" she yelled and Hunter smirked and said almost to himself.
"I least we know where she gets that from" and I resisted the urge to clout him one the head with the frying pan I was trying to clean.
"Moira the elders can protect you better than anyone, the wards of protection they can summon can keep you safe and I will not let anyone hurt my daughter" I said quietly. I had bent down by her chair and was now looking into her eyes pleading with her to go where she would be safe.
"Alright" she said resigned and she stood up "I'll go"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fire.... Fire seems so soothing to me. The flames dance and sing to their own melody. They leap out to me. I am their master. With my power I will crush them all...
"Morgan?" I turned around to see my father gazing down upon me his eyes ask a question to which I must answer.
"You still look into the fire as though it holds all the keys to life child" He sat down and rubbed a weary hand over his face.
"Perhaps they do, and perhaps... they don't"
"Do not trust so deeply in something you cannot understand." he said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
I snorted whom does he think he is talking too?
"Have you ever known me to trust anyone father?" I asked turning my gaze away from the flames to look at him.
"No... you are my daughter Morgan... how could you?" he said. His eyes watch everything all the time... like a hawk... waiting to catch it's prey out. He may be my father but he is still a vicious animal.
"Come play," he asked me.
"I am not in the mood, "I said moodily.
"But you like to play with them, don't you? Do you wish to disappoint me Daughter?"
"That depends..." I said quietly and his eyes instantly narrowed. He stood up quickly and smashed the table into the wall.
Then he leaned in close to me and spoke menacingly."For far to long you have been disobiendient"
I stood up and crossed to the fireplace I could feel my father standing behind me... fuming.
It burns. It rips. It tears
I put a hand to my temple. They are getting more frequent now. They are clawing at me. Goddess why?
"Pain.... Death.... Panic" I chant softly to myself.
My father looks at me with eyes full of confusion.
"What did you just say?" he came to me and placed a hand on either side of my face.
I pull away
"I have been getting visions dad... they are horrible...they are so vivid... they hurt so much" I said pathetically.
"You are just tired we have had a long day... but the Rowanwand coven are vanquished now.... They pose no further threat to us... not that they ever did." He said comfortingly.
"It has nothing to do with them, something is attacking me through my dreams, they get clearer every day" He looks at me odd
"I don't understand" Suddenly there was a knock on the door and my father barked
"Go away!" But they strode into the room nonetheless. It was Selene and her useless son Cal. Well in bed maybe he is useful.
"Neimhidh He has escaped" she said breathlessly and she looked form me to my father as if awaiting a reaction.
"Who?" I ask irritated.
"The seeker"

AUTHORS NOTE!
I told you it would get more confusing. That was one of the other Morgan's, a different one from another timeline. It will make sense soon after the next chapter I promise. Please review!
