A/n: Hey guys I'm back I'm really, really, really, sorry I haven't updated
for a while my computer completely crashed and it's still not exactly fixed
so while I can I'll update for you!
I hope you guys are still reading this! Please read and review!
So much is happening to me, so much that I can't even see, so many words of wisdom I am trying to be, catch me if I should fall, even more so while I'm standing tall. Whispering thoughts in all different ways that I'm in a daze. My head is spinning around and it's making me dizzy, I'm spinning around and its making me ill, they don't understand what I'm going through, just have to find a way to climb – it'll be in my own time.
Morgan Rowlands
"What's wrong?" were the first words she said to me as I breezed through the door, I looked up at Morgan, still lost in my own thought barely recognising what she had said.
"Hunter?" I blinked and met her gaze,
"Sorry love," I said, "I was thinking"
Morgan grinned, "Nah too easy," I gave her a funny look then her face when serious, "About what?" she asked
"Well firstly because of Selene, she'll be back and she won't be alone and secondly because of the debt on Practical Magick"
"You heard about that too, I don't know what I'd do without it,"
"No, you don't understand the debt's been cleared" I told her
"What! Oh goddess that's great news!"
I sat in silence, "What? Why isn't it great news Hunter?" Morgan said expectantly
"Well, businessmen like Afton don't just forget huge debt's like that because of a stock windfall,"
"Windfall?" Morgan said thoughtfully, "Maybe he was feeling generous, I know I would be"
I pulled her into my arms and kissed her forehead, "You clearly are not a businessman"
She pulled away from me, "So what are you saying Hunter?"
"I think David has used magick against Afton to make him forgive the debt"
Morgan shook her head, "No, not David, he couldn't – wouldn't –"
"Morgan please I know this is hard but being a seeker gives me an intuition about these things I'm sorry"
She shook her head, "No" she said, she grabbed her car keys, "I'm going to straighten this out"
"Morgan, wait! Where are you going?" I asked
She didn't reply she just carried on heading outside for her old wreck of a car.
I closed my front door and followed her and got into the passenger seat, before she started the engine she rang directory enquiries and asked for Afton's address, she then said thank you to the operator and drove to his home.
"What are you going to do? Ask him about the windfall? Ask why he forgave the debt?" I asked
She nodded, "Too right, I don't know why you would just assume that David – our friend – would abuse Magick,"
When we got there she walked right up to the door and pushed the doorbell, an old woman dressed like a French maid answered the door.
"Can I help you?" she asked
"Yes," Morgan said, "Can we please speak with Mr Afton?"
The woman sighed, "I'm afraid you can't, Mr Afton had a stroke this morning and was rushed to the hospital,"
"I'm so sorry to hear that" Morgan said softly, "Is he okay?"
"We don't know, the doctors said it was really unusual, they have no idea what could have caused it, nobody takes better care of their health than Mr. Afton,"
"Okay then, I hope he gets better soon, sorry to bother you"
"Okay dear, bye" said the woman as she closed the door.
We both got back into the car.
"Before you speak" Morgan cut in as I was about to speak, "Let's say hypothetically David did all cause this – Why? How?"
"Well the was a Band-Aid on his wrist with a lot of blood seeping through, looks like he was doing a blood letting ritual, maybe calling on a taibhs to assist him,"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Morgan cried, "You said nothing about a Band-Aid earlier,
I sighed, "I'm saying it now,"
"But why would he want to hurt Afton?" Morgan asked, finally she was beginning to believe me
"I don't think David wanted to HURT Afton, dark spirits are very unpredictable, they don't always give the intended result,"
Suddenly I heard Sky's voice in my head,
"What is it?" Morgan asked
"Sky, she said we've got to meet her at the old Methodist cemetery and to make it quick, she and Kithic are holding a circle and she's just caught a glimpse of David"
"Yeah, he could be there for a million reasons"
"Morgan he's doing a bloodletting ritual"
Oh Goddess, do I really want Morgan to Hate me, it's certainly going that way, we've just got together and I'm driving her away!
She roared up the engine and headed for the cemetery.
