A/N Thank you to all my reviewers! Witch messages will be written inside
stars- *witch message* okay? Just in case the italics don't work!
Morgan's POV:-
*Baby Sis* I screamed and the car swerved, causing the driver behind me to blow his horn. I waved apologetically and brought the car to a halt at the side of the road. I steadied myself and cast out my senses, trying to work out who had sent me the witch message. Feeling stupid, I suddenly realised that only one person would call me sis, let alone baby.
*Killian* I sent back *Where are you?* A shadowy figure stepped into the road. Typical Killian. Frighten the life out of Morgan, appear out of nowhere and then expect to be treated like a guest of honour.
He opened the door and climbed in, rubbing his hands and holding them in front of the heater. "Happy Birthday. 18 at last!" I grinned, surprised he had taken the trouble to find out when it was. "Where are you off to looking so beautiful? The seeker's house by any chance?"
I blushed. "He isn't a seeker anymore." Surprise flickered in his eyes. "But yes, that's where I'm going and no, you can't come." He pouted and pulled out a small package.
"Fine. I know where I'm not wanted. I'll give you your present and then leave. Actually, you're going my way. You can drop me off."
"Okay." I grabbed my present and unwrapped it carefully. "Wow." A batik blouse flowed out of the package, shining in the dim light of the car. It shimmered in shades of gold and olive green, flickering like a fire. "It's beautiful," I said unnecessarily, "Thank you."
"I know you like fire, and I saw this in New York and it reminded me of you." Tears streamed down my cheeks and his face fell. "Don't you like it?"
"I... I do..." I spluttered, "but Cal gave me one last year and..."
"Hell." I looked up at him abruptly. "I'm sorry sis, I didn't know." Great, now I felt guilty about this as well.
"You didn't know." I looked at it again. "It really is beautiful and I love it. I think I'll change into it once I've dropped you off." His face lit up and I smiled. "Now, where do you want me to drop you off? In the middle of a field? In a forest?" His laugh was rich as he replied.
"At the bus station. I'm going back to New York." I nodded and started the car. We drove in companionable silence until we reached the bus station. I parked the car and turned to face him.
"Thank you for coming." I said quietly. "And thank you for the present. I love it." He grinned.
"I think I know someone else who will." I punched him playfully. He laughed and then his face became sombre.
"I've heard from Da." Way to ruin the moment. "He's still weak, but he's getting better." I nodded without looking at him. "He's asked to see you." I looked up in surprise.
"Really?" He nodded.
"He knows it's your birthday and he wants you to phone him tomorrow. Have you got a piece of paper?" I scrambled for a piece and he wrote down a number. "He says he's sent you a present and it should be in the post. You'll get it in the next day or to."
I kissed his cheek gently and he clambered out of the car. "Thank you." I whispered again. He grinned, his teeth a flash of daylight in the orange glow of the streetlights and he stalked off into the darkness. I put Das Boot into gear and pulled away from the bus station.
