Chapter 3
Sky drove to pick hunter up at the airport. She waited at the gate for his plane to arrive. There were so many things she needed to tell him, it had been so long since they had spoken. Hunter spent most of his time traveling and teaching covens how to fight the dark wave. As well he learned from them. He spent time with them, seeing how they worked their spells. When sky called him, all she said was that there was a problem in New York and she'd meet him at the airport. The speakers announced hunter's arrival; slowly everyone started to come through to the lobby. Happy families all greeted each other. A young girl ran into her fathers arms. Her mother stood back, knowing she would get her chance to say hello. The sight made sky pissed off. Morgan should be here and serenity should be running into hunters arms.
"Oi, sky I said hello, you totally ignored me."
Sky nearly jumped at hunter's voice. There he was, the first time she had seen him in a year. His hair was a little longer making his hair seem a bit spikier from the way he gelled it. He skin was also very nicely tanned. Sky hugged him and said, "Sorry, I kinda zoned out. We have to get going; we have a long drive ahead of us."
Hunter eyed her suspiciously, "thought that we were staying in New York. I was going to buy a bunch of stuff because they lost my luggage."
Sky simply said, "I'll tell you in the car and we'll hit the mall when we get to widow's vale." Before hunter could say anything sky stocked off. She defiantly had a lot to explain but didn't want to disclose anything that would hurt anybody. There were some things, though, that would hurt no matter what. The problem was she couldn't hurt him or Morgan. They had to work that one out between themselves
Hunter sat in sky's car severely pissed. First he gets a witch message at two in the morning asking him to leave sunny Australia for gloomy new York, then he got delayed in south Africa, then they lost his luggage, presumably in south Africa, now he was going back to widow's vale. A place with so many memories, memories that were hard to relive. "Why do I need to go back there?" Hunter looked at sky expectantly.
"Morgan is in danger. Amyranth is after her again. They already tried once, don't tell her that. Their out for blood and won't stop till they get what they want. We need as many strong witches as possible to keep her safe."
Hunter sat still for a long time, shook his head, and yelled, "Fuck sky, I don't know if you understand this but we broke up. We're done. She's not about to just let me walk back into her life. We have our reasons for leaving each other. We have separate lives now. She would be better having someone else projecting her."
Sky looked at hunter and pissed him off more with her calm tone of voice, "what were your reasons?" hunter didn't answer her. Instead they spent the rest of the ride in silence. The both liked it that way.
AN so how do you like it? Tell me what you think
