It's been a week since the accident. My body still aches once in awhile, but its getting better now. It's early Saturday morning, and my family was still asleep. I got up and looked at my alarm clock. 6 o'clock in the morning. I looked out the window and it was still dark outside. I slipped on my slippers and put on my robe. I headed for the kitchen to get a diet coke. Hmm. I think maybe I'll go watch the sunrise at the park. It would be really quiet and peaceful. Good place for me and think. I took a detour and headed for my closet instead. When I was dressed, I wrote a note to my parents telling them where I would be, and then headed for Das Boot.

I got to the park 15 minutes later. Just in time to watch the sun to fully rise. I took a deep breath of cold winter air. I bent down to pick up a handful of newly fallen snow, and then headed for one of the picnic benches. I looked up at the sky and wondered why my life was so complicated. Why was all this things happening to me? Why me Goddess? Why cant I just be a normal teenager, with normal shallow problems. My eyes were starting to tear up, but stopped. I sensed someone coming up behind me. Hunter. I couldn't face him now. Not yet. I wasn't ready.

~HUNTER. JUST STOP! PLEASE. NOT NOW.~

I knew the witch message surprised him, cause he stopped dead in his tracks. I got up and headed to Das Boot, not looking back, even though I was tempted. I was half way to the parking lot, when strong hands pulled me back. He spun me around so I can face him. Goddess, please let me be strong. I don't know what to do.

Hunter led me to one of the picnic tables and sat down. He was still holding on to my hand, but I snatched it away.

"Morgan. We really need to talk," he said looking up at me. I looked down at him. Goddess, he gets more gorgeous every time I see him.

"Hunter. We don't have to talk about anything. We broke up. It's none of my business who you go and sleep with. You have nothing to explain to me. Nothing." I said, looking away.

"But I do have to explain. I betrayed you. You are the one I love the most. I don't know what happened. I saw Amelia at the Seeker meeting and…"

"Hunter. I don't want to hear about this." I said cutting him off. "I don't care. I don't want to hear about your love life. So if this is all we're talking about, then you're wasting your time and mine."

He looked at me dazed. I knew what I said was rude, but that's how I felt.

"Morgan! Will you listen to me." He yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you? How can you act like that didn't affect you? I'm not blind, and I'm not stupid either." His eyes flaring at me.

"When you left me, I was devastated. I didn't know what to do. All week its you who I think about. I kept myself busy, thinking it will get my mind of you, but it didn't. Then, I saw Amelia at the meeting. We started talking about old times and I started to feel a little better. I knew that you would be at my house for circle, and I wanted to go home to see you, but I knew it would hurt too much. For both you and me, so I asked Amelia to go eat dinner with me. We were eating, and I was so lonely for you. The next thing I knew…."

Tears where rolling down my eyes now. Why is he telling me this? Does he want to hurt me more? Why can't he just leave me alone?

"I was so caught up at the moment. I wished so much that it was you who I was kissing…." He looked up at me and I saw tears in his eyes. I have never seen him so vulnerable. I always knew him to be so in control.

"Morgan. I'm not proud of what I did. I understand if you never forgive me. I will never forgive myself for what I did to you. When I saw you outside my room…the way you looked at me. It shattered my inside. Then when I saw you crash…I thought you were gonna die. I didn't know what to do. If anything happened to you that night, if you died right there…Oh Goddess Morgan. If you were taken from me that night, I would have gone with you. I prayed so hard for the goddess to take me instead of you." His voice was starting to break up. I looked at him, and I knew he meant what he said.

"I love you so much. I am so deeply sorry for betraying you like that. Just tell me what to do to make it up to you. I would lay my life for you. Don't you realize that? Please Morgan. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"

Goddess. I love him so much. It hurts me to see him like this. But the memories of what he did. I can never forget that. Never.

Without realizing it, I bent down to kiss him on the lips. He kissed me with so much love, passion. So much hunger. I could have stayed like that forever. But I knew what I had to do. I couldn't let Hunter die because of me. Just like the dream I had while I was at the hospital. I knew from the beginning that that was a premonition of the future. Hunter can't die like that. I know what I must do.

I pulled away. I took him in my arms. He was still sitting down and I was still standing up. I ran my fingers through his hair. He pulled me closer to him. Then, I felt it. The silver cord. It connects me to him. Connected out hearts. We were cocooned in silver light. It surrounded us. Hummed with power, with love. It felt unbelievable. I never wanted it to end. But I know I have to.

Quietly I started to whisper something that popped in my head.

~Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, witness me now.

~Goddess hear my vow.

~ Though our hearts are combined,

~Our hearts intertwined.

~I must break the tie that binds.

~With this vow, our souls no longer connected.

~But you'll always be protected.

~ Cause without me

~You can flee…

I pulled Hunter up. I gave him a quick, last kiss on the lips, and then pulled him to me.

" I forgive you for what you did. " I whispered in his ears. " Hunter…I….release you." Then I stepped back to finish chant.

~As I will it, let it be,

~Hunter, you are now free.

"Morgan. I love you." He said, shocked. He realized what I was doing. "I will always love you. No matter what you do. You can never change that."

I stepped away from him and headed for my car. I could feel him watching, as I walk away. Walk away from his life forever.

I was almost to my car when I felt it. A snap. I knew it was the cord. The cord that connected me to Hunter was no more. We were no longer muirn beatha dans.

I ran to Das Boot crying. When I got inside I saw Hunter was still standing at the same spot where I left him. I love you Hunter Niall.

As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I decided to send Hunter my last witch message.

~Happy Birthday Hunter. May this be a new beginning for you.~
