Morgan

Hunter Niall. When I heard Ardent say that, I gasped. Hunter! My soul mate. Could I bear to see him again? See his face when he learned that I was going to join Amyranth? I ran upstairs, randomly picked a room and threw my suitcase down, collapsing on the bed. I began to sob. Suddenly, Hunter's voice entered my mind.

[Morgan, love, where are you? You're close. Are you alright?] His witch message was anxious, urgent. [Hunter, I'm sorry, I'm safe, you're right, I'm in New York, so are you. You must leave quickly, or Amyranth will kill you!] I replied just as urgently. [Morgan, where exactly are you? Why did you leave?] His tone became sad. [I had to, to save Kithic, and you.] I told him regretfully. [The dark wave didn't come,] he sent bitterly. [Precisely! I joined him, that's why it didn't come, don't you see?] I told him. [Can you meet me somewhere?] He asked, his tone pleading. [No. Good- bye Hunter.] I sent to him. [No! Morgan! Wait! Please!] He pleaded, but I didn't reply anymore.

That day, at dinner, dad told me, "You'll be initiated into Amyranth tomorrow, get ready." He also handed me a set of house keys and yet another car key.

The next morning, I went to the garage to check out my new car. He had bought me a Eclipse spyder! I took my car for a ride, testing out its speed and exploring the place. Like in Scotland, Dad had given me loads of cash, he had subscribed to a cash card for me, too. Of course, he would be paying the bills.

I drove and drove and without even realizing it, I came to the magick shop that Hunter had brought me to the last time we had come to New York. I parked my car and went in boldly, wanting, yet dreading to see Hunter.

I walked into the shop, looking around; I saw a blond head at the end of the aisle. I turned to go but he had already seen me. "Morgan!" he called excitedly. I turned to face him, "Hunter," he came closer, close enough to touch me.

"Can we go somewhere?" I asked, moving away from him. He thought for a moment, "Yes,"

Hunter led me to a small, secluded park. He sat down on one of the benches and I followed suit, taking care not to sit too close to him. Once both of us were sitting, he launched into his speech, "Why did you leave with him? How are you? Where did you go?" all reached my ears several times. "I thought I told you already, I left to save Kithic... and you. And I'm fine. He took me to Scotland?" I said, answering all his questions. "Scotland? Why did he take you to Scotland?" Hunter asked. "He took me to Scotland to get... initiated." I replied uncertainly.

"He took you to Scotland to what?" Hunter said disbelievingly. "I don' believe you." He stated. "Obviously," I retorted. "But...but...you were only there for 2 weeks! How could you learn enough to get initiated in 2 weeks?" he sputtered. "I can and I did," I told him.

Suddenly, Dad's sharp voice pierced my mind, [Where are you? Why are you with the seeker?] He asked. [I'm in a park, I met Hunter somewhere around here, don't worry, I'm going back soon,] I sent to him. [Okay, be careful.] He replied.

"I have to go," I told Hunter, "he's calling me." I said. "Be careful. I love you, Morgan," he said. "Funny," I said, "He just said that to me, too." With that, I walked off , trying to remember where I had parked my car.
