Chapter five: Realisations
People have asked if I ever think about my father.... If I wonder what life could have been like if he hadn't killed my mother. If he had only given me a chance. I should hate him- I know. But deep down I know he was my father, he was of my blood. When it comes down to it, he chose himself over me, his thirst for power over my love, I could never forgive him for that... but he is still my father.

The house stands on the top of a hill... alone. The wind rattles its windows and shakes the floorboards, there is so little here... it has been stripped of all life. There is something foul in the air, something of a menace and hatred.... So much hatred. Who are they? What are they? Are they close, can I see them? Damn it! Where are you? Suddenly darkness comes from the house begging me to follow... I do. I pick my way through clumps of dead grass and branches that block the house from view... they are dead. But yet the house is almost vibrating with energy, an odd shimmering energy. When I look up I see there is no one in the windows, I can feel nothing here. Then suddenly as if by some unseen signal the doors and windows blow open and the darkness comes to me again. My hair fly's out in back of me, goose bumps form on my skin. I feel sick. The house looks old, the corridors smell of some musky incense. There is evil in this house. It has been here always. Two people come charging out from one of the many rooms, I can hear screams in the distance, a call of freedom, of innocence, of pain and anguish. I have to cover my ears with the intensity of it. I have to help them. They are talking to one another in low tones... Something has happened. In a flash I realise it is Selene... oh goddess Selene belltower and my first love Cal. It can't be them there dead I say stupidly.
Cal....
"He has escaped" I hear Selene say briefly.
"Who?" Someone barked behind her. I look up and see my Father... Ciaran Macewan.
No...
"The seeker" my head jerks up and I look at the last person in the room. But I saw neither friend nor foe...
I saw myself...
Goddess what was that? Where am I? O wait I am home, in my bed, in my house.
O goddess Cal, Ciaran and Selene. No....
"Can you run that by me one more time?" Hunter repeated bewildered. Don't blame him.
I heaved a heavy sigh then answered.
"House.... Death... pain.... Panic.... Ciaran... Cal... Selene..." I say slowly
"Evil" I said and I shuddered.
Goddess help us.
"O Morgan" He says as he brings me into his loving embrace.
"Morgan..." he repeats.
"I saw myself... I'm not mad," I told Keady at her sceptical look.
"I'm not." I say again just for clarification.
"You are." she says with a slight smile.
"I am not!" I said and we both burst out laughing.
"I honestly don't find it at all funny." Hunter said dryly. And I turned to look at him coming from the back garden with Linden.
I smiled at him
"How was he?" I asked
" He was fine, missed his mummy though I think" he handed him to me with a smile.
"Aw did you miss mummy? Linden nodded and I laughed again. Hunter bent down and gave me a kiss and I could have sworn Linden made a yuck face.
"Hmmm. How are you love?" I asked him and he said
"No complaints. Did you tell Keady?" he asked me
"Just did actually" I reassured him.
"Keady what do you think is going on?" Hunter asked mildly but I knew him he was worried, far more worried than he was letting on.
"In all honesty?" Hunter and I nodded "I don't know," she admitted and my face fell.
Goddess
"I will contact the New Charter and see if they will send someone out to investigate... if they haven't done that already." She said starting to get up and automatically putting her mug in the sink. I was lost.
"Already..." I repeated bewildered.
"Yes... well what with all the dark energies that have been circling Cobh lately it will be only a matter of time"
"Time..." I repeated. Time
"God it's not fair," I whimpered into Hunter's chest and he tightened his hold on me.
"I know," he said as he rubbed my back gently. "I know,"
I snuggled in deeper glad that we had the place to ourselves. Katrina had Linden and Moira was staying over with her friends Tess and vita at Vita's house. I just hope a certain Mister Delaney isn't there... For his sake as well as Moira's.
"I love you" Hunter said softly into my hair and I raised my head carefully to look at him. The face I adored.
"I love you too" I kissed him and he moved so that we were lying down on the couch. He was on top of me and he started to kiss my neck. I felt like giggling.
"O Hunter" I breathed as he started to undo my top.
"I give everything to you Morgan... my heart... my soul... my body." He said lovingly. I held him tighter so grateful to him, to how much I loved him.
Love.... Such a little word for such a big feeling.
AUTHOR'S NOTE

Well there's going to be more surprises, flashbacks, visions and generally, more confusion * grins*
