---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------



Girlfriend. Hunter said girlfriend. He moved on. He forgot about me. Oh Goddess, he forgot about me!

Behind him, a beautiful blond stepped up. Her face was soft, innocent looking. Her sea green eyes were endless. She was tall and skinny, with a perfect tan. She stood imperial beside Hunter. They were a perfect couple.

"Hi, you must be Morgan. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard a great deal about you." She said reaching out her hands. Her long, golden hair draping over her shoulder. I looked up and reached out my own hands.

"Nice to meet you too. This is my boyfriend Azriel Martin." Azriel, like the gentleman that he is, smiled at her. I turned my gaze away from Amelia, to see Hunter staring at me. A look of disbelief crossed his face. My mind started to race. Hunter forgot about me. He has a new girlfriend. He doesn't love me anymore.

Hunter's head snapped up. He looked at me, his facial expression saying it wasn't true. I knew better. He moved on, and so did I. I have no reason to pine over Hunter. We broke up 5 months ago. I have Azriel now, I convinced myself.

A wave of dizziness swept over me. I suddenly felt very light headed. I was overwhelmed with so much emotions that my head throbbed. My dream, and now Hunter. This is all too much for me.

"Morgan, you need to seat down." Azriel said worriedly. I glanced up to see that Hunter was now standing beside me, looking anxious.

"Are you alright Morgan?" The way Hunter said my name, sent shivers up my spine. He moved closer, trying to help me, but I turned to Azriel for help instead. Hunter looked at me, shocked, but I dismissed it.

Minutes passed before someone spoke. I just stayed there, cuddled by Azriel. Finally he broke the silence, telling me he had to leave for work.

"Are you sure you'll be okay? I can call and sick if you want me to. I don't want to leave you like this Morgan." He whispered in my ear.

"I'll be fine. I'll call you if I need you. Thanks for everything Azriel." I smiled.

He leaned over to kiss me, and in the corner of my eyes, I saw Hunter turn away in disgust.

"I have to leave too Hunter. I need to pick up some things. I'll see you later at home." She kissed Hunter, and then walked to her car. Why did she leave Hunter here? And is she staying at Hunter's house? Is she living with him?

"I have to go around back to get some things in the shed." I said walking away from Hunter.

"I'll go with you" he said, his voice authoritative. I walked down the stairs and headed for the side of the house. Hunter was right beside me.

"So," I said coolly, " What brings you back to Widow's Vale?" I didn't trust myself to look at him, but I found myself gazing at his deep green eyes.

"Business. I got a call from the council asking me to go back to Widow's Vale."

"Oh. That's good. Good Luck with that." I didn't really want to talk to Hunter. I guess I was hurt by the fact that he has a new girlfriend. I felt uncomfortable around him, and I didn't like it.

I walked faster, keeping the distance between us. I got the signs that my mom asked me to get from the shed, and then walked back to the house.

I was walking up the steps, when Hunter touched my shoulder. I spun around to see what he wanted. He was looking up and down at me. Analyzing everything.

"You've changed Morgan." He said, disappointed. I looked at my clothes to see if anything was wrong. I had on a blue, tight fitting, ribbed turtleneck, and dark denim jeans with black boot. Looks okay to me, but then I remembered that I didn't use to look like this. Hunter remembers me as plain Morgan. My long boring hair, and my boring clothes.

"Yea. Bree and Mary K. finally got their hands on me this summer." I joked. "I guess it was time for a new look for the new school year, so I let them." He looked at my hair, which use to be long and straight. Now it was layered, soft curls at the bottom. His eyes searching my face, trying to find anything familiar. I did the same. His face was softer, younger. His hair stood spiky and tousled. His lips full. His chest broader. I snapped myself back to reality.

In the few months that he was gone, I found myself more confident. I was more aware of things, not naïve like before. I've been more careful with people. I realized that I couldn't really trust anybody.

"That's not it." He stated. " I feel like I don't know you anymore. You're different. Like you're not you."

"Well maybe you never really knew me Hunter. Ever thought about that?! Maybe this is the real me." I said in defense. I saw his eyes flare, and his jaw tighten.

"Well, I guess things have changed." His tone mocking. He walked down the driveway and down the street. I didn't bother to watch him. I was furious. How dare he come here, at my house, and tell me that I wasn't being myself? I hated him at that moment. Just when things are better in my life, normal again, he comes back. Nothing will be normal with Hunter here.

"Morgan"

"Mother" Maeve stood before me, majestic.

"My daughter." She reached for my hand and led me to sit on a rock. I looked around and found myself on a grassy plain. I knew it was Ireland.

"Things haven't been easy for you my daughter, but you must always be strong. With you flows the Riordan blood. In you flows the strength and power of the Riordan witches." She smiled. She reached for me and stroked my hair.

"Mother. I am lost. I don't know what to do. Where to go. Who to trust."

"Morgan, my dearest. You are destined to do great things. You must learn to follow the path that you believe is right for you."

"I'm confused. I'm scared. I'm so alone." I sobbed.

"I know my love, but you will never be alone. I will always be here to guide you. You are the daughter of the Goddess. Diana, the queen of all witches, blessed you herself. You have nothing to fear."

"I'm afraid I will never know love. To die alone. Everyone that is important to me leaves."

"Don't run away from your destiny. Even death can't separate you and your love. If not in this lifetime, it will be so in the next." It was the last thing she said to me. I was alone.

I stood up, feeling the cool wind surrounding me. It's spun around, and around turning into shimmering light. It circled me, humming with energy. I smiled at its beauty. A figure started to materialize from the warm, silvery light.

"This is your destiny my daughter." My mother's voice rang in my ears. I lifted my head to find the person standing right in front of me. **********************************************************************
