At the end of last chapter Morgan was face with a huge choice: "Daughter- You have been brought here to make a decision." Maeve said, "You have been shown two different- but similar- lives. You must choose one. This opportunity is rare, do not choose lightly. Your future depends on it." Now it is time for the decision that will define her whole life.
Third Person POV-
"Morgan," Maeve said softly, after what seemed to Morgan to be a lifetime of silence and thought, "It is time" . Placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder she looked deep into her eyes. Morgan looked back into the eyes of the woman standing before her, tears streaming down her face, she drew in a shaking breath, opening her mouth to speak. I can't do this, she thought., closing her mouth and transferring her gaze to her feet, which were cloaked in a glowing, white mist.
*Be not afraid.* Morgan heard in her head, *let your soul guide you, look into my eyes*. Hesitantly, Morgan raised her eyes and looked into those of her birth mother's. All at once she felt calmness wash over her and the river of tears was diminished into a slow trickle. She could feel a presence in her mind, not threatening in the least bit. She relaxed and let it in.
As she felt the presence leave her, the tears came back. The bliss had ended all too soon and Morgan , once again, felt the blackness swallow her up. "You have chosen, my daughter." She heard Maeve say through the darkness, "Be not afraid."

"Clear!" A voice called. Morgan felt a huge pressure in her chest. A beeping noise resounded through the blackness. "We got'er back," The voice announced.
"What happened to her doctor?" Another voice asked, feminine, familiar... but Morgan couldn't quite put her finger on who the voice belonged to. Not her mother, either of them.
Even though she could here what was being said, everything remained black. She couldn't remember anything, it was all blurred, nothing definate. Her body felt cold, but her left hand was warm, like something - orsomeone- was holding it. A soft voice was whispering "Come on- wake up- don't do this to me- don't leave me- come on-" Over and over.
When the man, the doctor, finally responded to the woman's question he said, "I don't know, it's like the blood suddenly stopped flowing and her heart was not beating. She's in a slight coma now, but- I... she should wake up soon, if she wakes up- we'll need to take her to the hospital though. Are you her mother or legal guardian?"
"No." The voice answered.
"Do you know how to contact her family?" The guy asked.
"Yes." The woman answered
"Do it, tell them to come to County Hospital. They need to fill out some forms." The man told her, "You coming along?" He asked someone else.
Who ever was holding Morgan's hand said "Yes." as she felt herself be lifted up, followed by the sound of closing doors, the squeal of a siren and the hum of the tires on the pavement.
*Morgan?* a voice called out to her, * Can you hear me?*
*Who are you?* She answered, * How do you know my name?*
*Morgan, it's Cal, your soul-mate* the voice responded, sounding hurt.
*Cal...I know that name...but I cant...I can't remember how you look.* She responded.
*Open your eyes* he commanded, *See for yourself.*
As if she had no control of her reactions, her eyes fluttered open and Morgan drew in a sharp breath, sitting straight up in the stretcher. Suddenly, she remembered everything. "I chose you." She gasped, holding him tightly. He returned the embrace gently, afraid to damage her. "I chose you" She repeated, the tears once more flooding her face. He let her go, amber eyes searching hers, looking for signs that this was actually real.
"I'm glad." He answered, "I'd choose you too." Even though he didn't know what had just happened to her, he had some idea that it was something of a very great magick, or even something to do with the powers that be. She had been given a choice having to do with him and she chose him, he promised himself that he would never give her a reason to regret that choice, never.

So much writers block-age finally led to this chapter!!! Well, that's what I chose. I like Hunter too, but Cal just seemed like he hasn't been given enough of a chance... maybe Huntie will make a guest appearance later on, but I dunno yet... I'm moving in about 20 days, so I'll try to update again before they have to pack up the computer.
