Author's note: Okay, this fanfic isn't coming in from somewhere in the books. Just pretend that it's something that happened in one of them… actually, pretend that its another book that was placed somewhere in between uh… the 5th and the 9th… I didn't have the books with me, I had to turn them into the library, so I had to try to remember everything they had that was in them… if there's anything that needs to be fixed, please tell me…

I don't own any of these characters, they all belong to Cate Tiernan, so no suing or anything please, my life' hard enough! I might add a character of my own sometime, though…

"I didn't do it!" I screamed out at my coven. They all stared at me, doubt embedded in their eyes. I looked from one face to another, trying to meet someone's eyes. They all dropped their gazes to the floor as my eyes sought theirs. I growled in frustration.

Hunter had called a meeting unexpectedly three hours ago, saying it was urgent and we should all attend. I had showed up at Hunters a little late, and everybody was already there. He immediately informed us that someone in our coven had called upon the dark forces for a favor. Everybody had turned to look at me.

A teacher in our school was found dead yesterday morning. Nobody knew why it had happened, but it was obvious that it was the fault of a heart attack. Us witches new better, though… and Hunter had found the killer, unfortunately, he had guessed wrong.

I looked at their faces and saw fear and anger, no mercy or trust. Did they really think that I would be stupid enough to call on the dark powers? After all I'd been through? I felt my eyes swell up in tears as I looked at Bree's face. She had her arm wrapped around Robbie, leaning on him for support. Oh, how I wished that there was someone that I could cling to, someone who could hold me, and comfort me. But as my gaze reached Hunter, my soulmate, my muirn beatha dans, I knew all was hopeless. His eyes held no fear, but only anger and hurt. He glared at me, anger taking over.

"How could you do this to me?" he asked, the anger unhidden. "After all we've been through, after all I've done for you? How could you betray me? How could you hurt me like this?" He reached out his arms and grabbed my shoulders, shaking me roughly. I jerked away, my tears sliding down my face like an unleashed stream.

"Hunter, it wasn't me! I wouldn't-," he cut me off.

"I don't want to hear it, Morgan. I've already heard enough. I should have known, that one day or another, you would have turned evil. I was stupid enough to believe that you loved me, to believe that you cared, but know what? Deep inside you, you're no different from your father," he spit out at me. "Well, I'm happy I that I stuck around because now there's a seeker here to stop you from killing again. You remember when I stripped David of his powers? Well, after you stand trial, that's what I'll be doing to you," he whispered harshly and laughed.

"Hunter, please don't, I'll die without my powers," I begged. He reached out and grabbed my wrists. "Hunter, stop! You're hurting me," I yelped in pain. He gripped harder. "Hunter, stop, or I'll-," he shoved me against the wall. His face changed from anger to pain.

"Or you'll what? Kill me?" he whispered. "Why did you do this to me? I loved you, and you betrayed me. You said you'd would never change to the dark side, you promised me,"

"No, Hunter, I didn't do it! Hunter, you have to believe me! Please, you know I love you. You know that I'd never hurt you or anybody else! Why can't you see the truth? Look into my eyes, see the truth!" I begged.

"You lied to me, Morgan, you lied," he gave a final whisper, and let me go, ignoring my plea. He stepped back from me and he motioned to the rest of our coven. I saw that Bree and Robbie both had tears in there eyes, and that some of the other coven members eyes were wet. How could they blame me? How could they think that I could kill? I looked up to Hunters face and saw that he too, was holding back tears.

"You didn't only hurt me, Morgan, you hurt everybody in the coven, you hurt all the people who knew the teacher you killed," he took as seat on the couch, next to Bree and Robbie. "You're not welcome here anymore. I want you out of here, now," he said quietly, calmly. I wiped the tears from my eyes, sniffed, and began walking out of the room. I felt heat bubbling up inside me. My pain had turned to anger, and that anger to fury. How could they all be so blind? I swallowed an urge to scream in rage.

"Morgan, I'll be at your house tomorrow at 6:00. I already talked to the council, and they agree that you should be stripped of your powers immediately, before you cause any more harm," I heard Hunter mumble under his breath. I felt another round of tears coming, and I began to sob uncontrollably. "Oh, and don't think about trying to leave town, it won't work," he added.

I had no intention of leaving town. I didn't care anymore. I knew I couldn't live without Hunter, without my coven. I would be stripped of my powers tomorrow, and the next day, my body found, dead and lifeless.
