(Cal's POV)

Who is Hunter? I don't know what Morgan was talking about yesterday. What fire? What about me and my mother? And who is Hunter?!? She's not cheating on me. She couldn't be. Could she? No. I have to stop thinking about this, but I can't. She called me her Muìrn Beatha Dàn. How did she know what that was? Can she really feel it too?

"Cal!" Called my mother

"Yes?" I replied.

"Come here. We need to speak to you." She called. Who is this 'we' and what could they possibly want to talk to me about? I might as well go and see.

I walked into the room that my mother was in. I guess you could call it the family room. There was a man sitting in a chair by my mother, and two other people about my own age.

"Hello," I said to the room in general, "You wanted to speak with me?"

"Yes dear." Said my mother, "Sit down." I did as she said, giving her a questioning look.

"Cal, this is your father." Said my mom. My heart stopped beating for a moment. "And," She went on, "This is your brother and sister- half brother and sister- Elijah and Sara."

I tried to process this information. What should I say? What should I do? "Hello." I decided to say.

"Hi." Said three very English voices. This was very wierd.

"Cal," said my father, "I- well- Cal, my wife recently had an accident and she -um- well, she didn't make it. We just had to get away from there- from whoever did that. We also wanted to see you and try to start a relationship with you two. It's my fault we don't have one to begin with, but I'd like to try and change that."

"What your father is trying to say is that he is going to be staying with us - along with the kids- and he would like to try and make up for lost time." Said my mom, "Elijah and Sara will be going to school with you. Maybe you could introduce them to your friends. I'm sure Morgan would like to meet Sara. You should call and invite her over."

Elijah and Sara were silent during the whole conversation. They just sat and nodded their heads from time to time. They seem nice, but why did they have to come now!? First the whole accident with Morgan thing, and now these three show up. The funny thing is... they look like me. Elijah could pass as my blonde haired, blue eyed twin if someone didn't know he was my half brother- my half brother who's exactly my age! Sara has curly dark brown hair and bright blue eyes and she's very pale. She looks like a pale female version of Elijah, you can definitely see the resemblance. Apparently, we all got our looks from our father.

While my mother showed them to their rooms I went to call Morgan. I feel like I should tell her everything. Ever since she mentioned the soul mate/ life partner thing I've been thinking about how she said exactly what I was thinking at the exact moment I was thinking it. I finally found her, my muerin betha dan. After searching for two years I finally found her (It's an old tradition in our coven when a member "matures" they go on a search for their soul mate until they find them. Then you must be bound to them on a certain date, one which I don't know yet - I am not privy to that type of information yet. If you do this while both still virgins- which, believe it or not, I am- you are the most powerful) . I had tried scrying for her, but she didn't show up, so I got frustrated with searching and started going out with Morgan because something about her attracted me strongly. Now I realize that she didn't show up on the scrying stone because of something that her birthmother- Maeve Riorden (Morgan told me about this after the accident, it astounded me, but now it makes perfect sense... and she looks exactly like her- my mom has a picture somewhere, for some reason)- did to her, to try and protect her.
