A/N : I know your major confused but that's good right...or bad?
Chapter Six: Revelations.
"I have never given a lot of thought to different worlds, different timelines. Its funny since I guess no one really thinks about that kind of stuff. What if there were other different worlds; were the people are the same yet... the story is told different, maybe timelines intersect with that world and together they mix, but if there were other timelines, other worlds, would there not be a weaker of the few? Recently ways have been developed that could possibly transport one person to either their past or future, what if these ways could be manipulated? What would happen then?

There is a man standing beneath the shadows, I cannot see his face, it is turned away from me. Lightning flashes outside and it illuminates his features, he looks feral, dangerous and still. His smooth movements marks his territory, he is seeking something...what? He looks at me, looks into my soul... I can hide nothing from him. He smiles and I take a sharp intake of breath.
"You should have known it wasn't over" he says.
"What wasn't?" I ask
"Time..." he says simply and he turns to stare out the window again.
Time... "Who are you? What do you want?" I ask desperately.
"To change time... you where here for a reason.... That reason will kill you"
"Who are you?" I ask again.
"I am a friend. Something is after you, or more specifically... the child you carry in your womb, go to the past, only there you will find your answers, you must save your past-only then can you save your future"
"Save my..." I start. Why would I want to save my past, I cannot do that.
"How can I do that... the past is written- I cannot change what has happened," I say dumbfounded.
"Ah... but what is written can be erased Morgan" he said pointedly.
I don't understand, who is this man, why is he helping me?
He sighs, almost lazily.
"If what is written can be erased- then that can be re-written again right?" I asked apprehensively. I can't let anything hurt my family.
He smiled; it appeared I had caught on.
"Right..."
"I've- I've been having dreams... hallucinations maybe?" I stumbled. I don't know why I felt I trusted this man, but I did.
"There not Hallucinations- there visions of your other lives" he said like it was plainly obvious.
"Visions... visions of other lives- like past lives?" to my shame my voice sounded squeaky.
"Not quite... these are lives that have no connection to you." He walked around the seat and turned to face me.
"So that's why I saw myself in that dream.... It was me," I asked, suddenly everything was starting to make sense.
"Yes... it was you... another you, you are the strongest witch that has ever lived Morgan; naturally people are interested in that power." He said watching me very closely.
"So... I am a target?" I asked
"All of you are," he said grimly
"What others?" I asked surprised.
"There are as far as I know 4 other timelines that each have a very different and unique Morgan, they are in no way alike"
Goddess.
"In... no way alike?" he nodded "What are the other timelines of me?" I ask and he looks at me considering as if analysing ho much to tell me.
He sighed, resigned "Yours is the first, obviously, the one you have been dreaming of is one where you have grown up with Ciaran, you know no bounds, no rules, you seem to care for nothing, the others well... The other is just after Hunter dies- you remember how distraught you were, that is a timeline that would be perfect to attack you in, you are weak, you don't care weather you live or die. Also... Moira was conceived not to long beforehand. That could also be a reason they are aiming at that particular timeline. Then... 20 years ago, where you have only just discovered your heritage, that is also an opportune time to attack you, you are only just coming into your powers, you are not as experienced as you would be now, or as ruthless as you would be in others, and both those traits count for lot in their books-
"In who's book?" I cut him off but he continues like he hadn't heard me.
"Since they value that above all else" He sighed again.
"The other is one that we never would have thought of-
"Who is we?" I cut him of again but again he ignores me.
"Because we would consider it your strongest point... 40 years into the future... were you are Highpriesstess, your power has increased to incredible heights- but.... There is then the problem of your daughter..." his eyes flicked to my stomach before continuing "your youngest- she is the child you carry now" he said, my arms crossing over my flat stomach protectively, he smiled at me.
"All of these timelines are different, but they were chosen specifically by those that are out to harm you, Morgan... it is the fact that other worlds and Timelines are mixing and someone has mixed them." He said meaningfully.
"Who?" I asked, this was the question that had been nagging at me and here was perhaps the only person who could answer it.
"That... is what we don't know," he said grimly and my face fell.
"My daughter" I clutched my tummy again. "They could want her." O goddess no they can't want her. They just can't.
"I'm afraid so Morgan, they want something, but we really are not sure what it is they want"
I felt like crying "What most I do?" I asked
He looked at me with pity
"You most confront what you have spent a lifetime trying to forget"
"Great" I muttered dryly. Wait
"There's one thing I don't get though, when did they mix them, when did I become 4 different Morgan's?"
"Don't know... we presume it was at one of the timelines I have just told you about" he answered simply.
"Were are the people who have done this?" I said through clenched teeth.
"In one of the timelines... we will know soon enough which one" he said not at all comforting really.
"Wait... how are you here?" I asked looking him up and down.
He smiled a smug smile and said slyly.
"Well Morgan we obviously know how to yank some strings and get into dreams, like how we can jump into different timelines and worlds." Making me feel like an idiot.
" When you find out which timelines those nutcases are in you tell me and I will deal with them." I said with a hint of threat.
"That... was our plan," he said turning to look out the window. It was dark outside.
"Morgan..." he began hesitantly
"Yeah" I asked wearily. I had had enough revelations for one dream sequence.
"There is one person that could help you" he said his eyes never leaving my face.
"Who?" I asked eagerly.
"Maille" he stated
"Who's that?"
"Your daughter" his eyes once again flicked to my stomach.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My eyes sprang open to a darkened room but it didn't take long for my Magesight to kick in.
I felt around the bed and gently tapped Hunter awake.
I heard a grunt and then he appeared to have fallen back asleep. He wasn't the best person to wake up while he was asleep but I had to talk to him.
"Hunter?" I whispered close to his ear and he woke up staring blearily at me.
"What wrong sweetheart?" he asked worried.
"I need to talk to you," I said and his eyes widened.
"At 3 o clock in the morning?" he said with amusement and I smiled.
"Yes... please?" I pleaded.
"Of course love, come on we'll go downstairs"
"I had a dream." I told Hunter as he put some milk on the stove and he turned around worry etching fine lines in his face.
"Tell me?" he said sitting down and putting his arms around me and putting me on his lap.
I told him.
"Morgan..." he said stunned his mouth had been hanging open since the beginning.
"O sweetheart. This is horrible," he said running a hand over his unshaven chin. He did that when he was thinking something through.
"Tell me about it" I said sarcastically. "Hunter what are we going to do?" I asked "Call in help form the New Charter," he answered immediately.
"Hunter... there's something else I have to tell you" I said nervously And Hunter being hunter picked up on that and he looked up into my eyes.
"What?" he asked gently brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"I'm – well I'm pregnant," I said waiting for his reaction and for a minute he made no movement and I feared he hadn't heard me but then he smiled and said.
"I new there was a reason you were getting sick all this week," he said in amusement.
"Hey I don't find having my head in a toilet bowl for a half hour very funny, thank you" it was hard not to laugh and clout him over the head.
He smiled again.
" I know it's not the greatest time for me to get Pregnant right now... what with the attacks and everything but-"
"But nothing Morgan, we were going to have more kids anyway- just sooner than we thought" he cut me off my saying.
I ruffled his hair" I love you" I told him
"I love you to and we will do what ever it takes to protect our baby.," he said rubbing my tummy.
