A/N Thank you reviewers! You are my bestest friends blows kisses

Hands Off- Sorry! I should really be thanking you so Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!

RhiannanStar- Thank you loyal reviewer!

Wake Robin- I know! I want that much money from my dad too!!! Lol, thanks for the review.

And finally. To my newest reviewer tictac- shut the fuck up and piss off! Understood? Yippee! Bye bye! Not satisfied? Well then let's take a vote: All in favour of me stopping my (and I quote) "crap"writing, in which I just "take bits from the other books she's written but change them a bit like the first chapter...the meeting in the cafe and break up thingy and also the Mary k dressing her...its just boring and crap" say in their review. Those who would like me to keep writing, also say in their review. He/ she adds at the end "oh and do me and others a favour...stop writing." I'm doing you a favour hun- I'm asking the people who matter the most (AKA not you!!!) (Sorry to my faithful reviewers for that little rant but just tell me what you think!)

Morgan's POV:-

"Morgan! There's a parcel for you." I groaned and rolled off my bed. It was probably time to get up for school anyway, but that didn't make getting up any easier.
I trudged downstairs and picked up the offending article. It was surprisingly heavy and I could feel the trickle of Magick through the paper. Not wanting to open it in front if my all ready Magick wary family, I dragged it upstairs and flopped down in the chair beside my bed. I reasoned that if I lay down on my bed again, I would fall back to sleep and be late for school, again.
I ripped open the envelope and tried to read the card and letter through sleep blurred eyes.

Dear Morgan,
Happy Birthday! You are eighteen now and I feel that you are of the age to receive this. It is my first book of shadows and I hope that you will find it interesting. You may wonder why I have given it to you, but you of all my children should understand and learn from my knowledge. Inside the card, you will find a white envelope. There is a small cheque in there and details of a trust fund which I have set up for you. Use it wisely.
I have enclosed a small box for Hunter which I trust you to give him and I ask you not to open it on his behalf.
Take care, Daughter. Many happy returns, Ciaran.

I put down the letter and picked up the card. It showed an incredible view over a lake, with glittering water and ripples. I reached out as if to touch the card and see if I could feel the water. I pulled my hand away as it struck card. I smoothed it open, feeling embarrassed.

To Morgan,

Happy Birthday! Your Mother would have been proud of you.

Best wishes, Ciaran

I brushed away a tear as I leant down to peer at the photo Ciaran had taped in. It was of my mother. She was beaming and Ciaran had his arm draped around her. They both looked light-hearted, spirited. I wiped back more tears as I gazed at their broad smiles.
As I fumbled to open it, I dropped the other envelope and bent down to pick it up. Two pieces of paper were inside, a crisp, white sheet of paper and a small, narrow rectangle. I read the letter first.

Dear Ms MacEwan-Riordan,
A trust fund has been set up in the name of Morgan MacEwan-Riordan by Ciaran MacEwan. The sum of £20,000 has been paid into this account and a further £1000 will be paid in each year. Details of your account are enclosed below.
Nicholas White, Clerk of Worldwide Bank

How dare he set the account up under the name of Riordan-MacEwan? He knew that my name was Morgan Rowlands! Soon to be Morgan Niall, my brain added silently. I fumed as I skimmed over the account details, my mouth agape. £20,000? That was... my maths brain did a quick calculation... about $30,000. I pulled out the cheque and saw that it was for £1000 pounds. I cursed Ciaran for writing it in pounds, but then I remembered how generous he was being and my anger subsided to a pout.
I rattled the little box with interest. What was in here? I shoved it into my bag before my curiosity overwhelmed me. I would give it to Hunter when I saw him later.
"Morgan!" I jumped as Mary K. appeared at the door, and I hastily shoved my present under a pile of books. "Oh good, you're up!" She twirled around and skipped out of the room.
Taking the hint, I stalked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. As I was waiting for the water to heat, my stomach gave warning that it was going to rebel and I bolted across to the sink.

"Morganita!" Robbie tilted his head to one side. "No offence but you don't look so good." I shrugged and downed the last of my diet coke. I threw it into a passing trash can as we walked to the coven hangout.
Everyone looked up as I came in and I grinned self-consciously. I sat down next to Alisa and Bree swept back her minky, dark hair with one hand before giving Robbie a quick kiss.
"So, how does it feel being engaged?" Everyone stared at me expectantly and I blushed. Sub-consciously, I fiddled with my engagement ring.
"Not that much different," I admitted. "My parents trust me more though," Bree grinned slyly and Robbie raised his eyebrows. "It'll feel more definite when we move in together."
"When do you plan on doing that?" Alisa asked, "I can't wait to move out of my house." I gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Hmm. I don't blame you. When's the baby due?" I knew her sibling was due soon and her dad and step-mom were making major changes to prepare for it.
"Next week," she groaned, "I'm dreading it!" Suddenly her face lit up. "Charlie's going to try and come up though." I grinned.
"He only went away yesterday," I teased. She shrugged. "I know how you feel," She smiled and bit her lip. "What's everyone doing for Christmas?"
A few people shrugged but Bree spoke up. "Robbie and I are going to New York." We exchanged a look and Robbie blushed. "What about you?"
"I'm not sure yet, but Hunter mentioned something about getting Alwyn over." Just then, the bell rang and I jumped. "I still haven't got used to that." Everyone laughed and trundled off to class.

A/N That wasn't a great chapter, but as I said before I'm really busy and it's the best I can do in the circumstances. Review please!
