Chapter 17: The End…For Now
Wow, it has been SO long since an update. I haven't been swamped with schoolwork, but just enough to keep me busy. Plus, this story hasn't entered my head for weeks. My other problem with updating has been my crappy Internet service that doesn't work half the time. But luckily I've installed a free trial of America Online, and I want to keep it, since it's nice and speedy. Okay, good news!! I'm writing a sequel for this story!! I don't have a title, but I've got the basic premise. It still needs some work, but it's going to get done. Morgan and Bree will be the main characters, and I hope to have the first chapter up soon. Happy Halloween, everyone! In the spirit of Halloween, I'll be watching scary movies all weekend, having some candy, and looking to see what Wicca stuff there is to do for Samhain. Plus, I'm re-reading the Sweep series. It just seems like Sweep is a Halloween-y book with all the witchcraft. I also really want to see two new movies- The Grudge and Saw. Don't think I'll get there before Halloween, though. Enough talking. Thanks for all the reviews!! 101!! Okay, enjoy the last chapter!

Morgan's POV
'I sat in the eerie silence of my living room, turning the idea of Bree's love spell over and over again in my mind. How could she do that to Hunter? He and I were soul mates. We could only be separated through death. We would always find our way back to one another.
Hunter was waiting in a chair, staring at me intently. I pried myself off the couch and stood before him. Hunter rose warily, preparing himself for anything I might do. I stepped closer and whispered in his ear. "Hunter, I know we're soul mates, but my love for you has been dying slowly. I want to be alone for awhile." Hunter stepped back as if he had been slapped. "Please go, Hunter. Now."'
I gasped and sat up in bed. Oh, it was just a dream, I thought. I swung my feet onto the rug and put my elbow on my knee, my head in my hand. I sent Hunter away yesterday, telling him I would consider taking him back. I don't know why I did that. I already knew my answer. I glanced at the clock and stood up. First, I needed some breakfast. Then I would go see Hunter.
Hunter's POV
I sat at the kitchen table with my head in my hand. Sky came over and stared at me. "You look very bored," she said. I looked up at her and tried to smile.
"I spoke to Morgan yesterday, and we did that meanma. She saw the truth. But she said she would consider taking me back. I'm worried she'll say no."
Sky sat down next to me and said, "She's going to take you back, Hunter. Don't worry about it."
This time I smiled wryly. "You phrased that like you're convincing me I'll get into Yale or something. But you really think she'll take me back?" Sky stared at me with a pathetic look on her face.
"Um, duh, Hunter. Don't even question her heart. You want some pancakes or something?"
I nodded. "Yes, then I'll go see Morgan."
Morgan's POV
I paced around my living room, trying to work up the courage to go see Hunter. Why was I suddenly so afraid of him? I took a deep breath and grabbed my keys. I opened the front door and saw Hunter with his finger about an inch from the doorbell. I pulled him inside and kissed him hard on the mouth. He responded right away, pulling me closer toward him. I shoved him backwards to the couch, and we collapsed onto it, me on top. "Why did I even deliberate?" I gasped between kisses. "I never stopped loving you."
"I was too stupid to realize that you still did," Hunter gasped back. I don't know how long we lay kissing. I never wanted to stop. It was just like when we broke up after New York. We needed to fuse together again. Eventually we slowed and stopped. I heard clapping from the front door and turned my head wildly. Mary K was standing there with a smirk on her face and a Betsey Johnson shopping bag on her wrist.
"How long have you been standing there?" I asked, embarrassed.
"About two minutes," Mary K replied cheerfully. "I guess this means you guys are back together?" I nodded happily. Mary K sighed and headed for the staircase. "Knew they were gonna get back together," she muttered.
I turned back to Hunter and kissed him softly on the cheek. "Now what?" I asked.
Hunter sat up and said, "Bree. Are you going to stay friends?" I sighed heavily. This was the question I was hoping Hunter wouldn't ask.
"I want to stay friends with her. It's kind of like payback for Cal, right? I know how she's feeling, though. She knew it was hopeless to be with you, and I think it's sad that she reverted to a love spell. I feel sorry for her."
Hunter nodded and kissed me on the forehead while walking to the door. "I'm glad that you're willing to forgive Bree. It shows how big a person you are. I got to get going, now. Call you later." With one last kiss, he walked away.
Bree's POV
"I'm coming!" I exclaimed, holding my towel up. The telephone was ringing shrilly. "Hello?"
"Hey, Bree, it's Morgan."
"Oh hi," I answered tentatively. "What's going on?"
"Bree, I forgive you for the spell. What you felt with Hunter is like what I felt with Cal in the beginning. I totally know what you were going through. I want to stay friends."
"Oh, thank you so much for forgiving me, Morgan! Want to get together tomorrow for some coffee and shopping?"
"Absolutely, Bree. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."
"Bye."
Morgan's POV
After talking to Bree, I lounged around on my bed, reading a book about spells. I wasn't really concentrating because my mind kept wandering back to Hunter. Then I came across an interesting passage:
After certain spells, such as love spells, are removed, all materials used in the spell must be purified to get rid of lingering effects. Any effects can cause personality changes, especially in a non-witch. Many of these changes are dangerous and can lead to harmful consequences. NEVER FORGET TO PURIFY MATERIALS AND COMPLETELY REMOVE SPELLS.
I never knew at the time that this passage would become important.
THE ENDAN: Well, the end has come to this story. I must say I really enjoyed writing it, and it's the first story I've ever completed on !! Stay tuned for the sequel.
