A/N Thank you for the reviews everyone!
Rhiannan Star- I'm glad you don't think it's like Night's Child! Thank you for the review!
Wake Robin- I should get more and more interesting from here! I've got it all planned out so I hope you enjoy it.
aUtHiStIc- Umm... to tell you the truth I can't remember what idea, but I know there was one. I'll try to remember for you, lol!
Mystic- I was actually quite pleased with the dream. I'm glad you liked it.
Taz- I'm so glad you don't mind it sounding a bit like Night's Child. It should get less like it from now on (I hope).
Wednesday 18- I'm sorry I made you cry!!! I hated having to make him die- he should be alive! But that's how stories go.
Witchyliz- Almost right! I'm from Scotland! It wasn't really afternoon tea, more getting offered a drink when you go to visit someone. I've been to Georgia- the weather's much better than it is here! I hate having to make them unhappy, but like I said, it wouldn't be a story without it. Thank you for the reviews!
Here we go!
Morgan's POV:-
I woke up in a rest home this morning. I don't know who I am. I don't know where I live, or what I do, or who I know. I can't even remember how I got here. What I can remember is that I am Wiccan. I am Giomanach. I am me. The nurses told me that I am called Hunter. Apparently the woman who brought me here knew only that. I do not know who she is, but I want to thank her. To thank her for saving me. Perhaps she is the woman from my dreams, perhaps the dreams are a sign.
-Giomanach
"Morgan honey, can you come here please." I shut the front door quietly behind me, careful not to add to my already throbbing headache. School had been awful. I'd tried to keep a cheerful face, but it just made me more depressed. Eventually, I'd left before last period.
"Are you there Morgan? Come through." Crap. She knew about me skipping class. Well, at least I had a good excuse. I dumped my bag by the door and prepared myself for a major confrontation.
"Yup?" I smiled as I burst through the door, but my voice sounded shallow and scratchy as it echoed in my head. "You rang?" That's right. Pretend you have no idea what she's going to say. She looked at me and then shook her head.
"Morgan, sit down." I sat. "I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but I think it has to come from me." I nodded as though I wanted her to explain everything to keep me from bursting with anticipation.
She shuffled closer to me and I looked away, desperately trying not to meet her eyes, in case she saw the sorrow shining there. I fixed my gaze on the window.
"Oh honey," she sighed. I tapped my fingers on the arm of the chair impatiently, waiting for the lecture to be over so I could go to my room and be alone.
"There was a car crash this morning and Hunter was involved." I almost laughed with relief. She must have seen the lack of interest on my face and mistaken it for mild concern. "He died sweetie. Hunter died." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "They haven't found his body, but the car skidded and went into the river."
"I know." She looked at me, startled. "Sky called me this morning. Actually, I'm heading over there now so I need to make a move." I was starting to feel uncomfortable and I wanted out.
"Oh. I just assumed... I mean... you seemed... you seemed so... normal. You went to school..." I sighed with exasperation.
"Actually, if you must know I skipped last period," I interrupted. "And thank you for finally expressing that I am normal. It's wonderful to know you've finally made up your mind." Mom sat back in shock. "I have to go. Bye."
Without another word, I left the room and slammed the door behind me, no longer caring about the headache. I could hear mom's voice calling faintly behind me. "Give them our sympathies."

I knocked gently on the door and felt Sky approach. She cast out her senses and then opened the door and ushered me inside. Shutting the door behind me, I followed her into the living room and sat down.
Daniel walked in with two cups of tea in his hand and set one down before me. I looked up at him and raised my eyebrows. "I had a feeling you would be coming, so I made enough for three."
"Thanks. You lot know me too well," my grin faded into a frown and I rubbed my temple. "Life is hard without him. Everything seems worse."
A sudden silence stung the air as I struck the subject we had been skirting around. "I understand, lass." I looked thankfully at Daniel, but he was staring wistfully out of the window. "Every day is a struggle. Not a single day will pass when you don't think of him, or wish he was beside you. Never will you forget him," a single tear rolled down my cheek. "But you'll get him back," he spat bitterly.
"I'm sorry Daniel." Really, I was. He looked at me, as if coming out of a trance and sat down heavily on the sofa beside me.
"Don't be, it isn't your fault I lost Fiona. But I don't want the same thing to happen to you. We will find him. I promise." I stood up and began to pace the room.
"I need to know where he is. I don't know how much longer I can take this for," my voice broke over the last words and tears began to stream down my cheeks. "If I didn't know that we would find him one day... I don't know how I would cope." I brushed away my tears as more filled their place.
We sipped our tea in silence, but I could barely taste the swirling flavours. Eventually, I set the cup down and sat back, tears still staining my cheeks.
"Do you have your lueg with you?" Sky asked hesitantly. I shook my head. "I think we should try and find out where Hunter is. Then we can try and help him."
Daniel marched upstairs and returned with a chunk of jade. "We can use this." I nodded and sat next to Daniel, my mind bristling with anticipation. After a slight hesitation, Sky sat on my other side and we linked hands. "Clear your mind."
I tried to forget about Hunter being gone. I tried to forget that if we didn't succeed then my dream might come true. I tried to forget that it was my half sister who was trying to hurt us.
"This isn't going to work," I said, slamming my hands down in frustration. "I can't do this." I stood up and began to pace the room again. This was my families fault. Once again they were causing Daniel pain. That was it! Ciaran.
I ran through to the kitchen, careful to avoid Daniel's eye and grabbed the phone. I had learned the number by heart from the many times I had considered phoning Ciaran, but only having the courage to hang up when the nurses spoke.
"This is Callaway Rest Home for witches. How may I help you?" I bit my lip before answering.
"This is Morgan Rowlands. Could I speak to Ciaran McEwan please." I could hear the nurse's shoes tapping on the floor. She opened a door and placed a hand over the phone as she held a muffled conversation with someone.
"I'm sorry, you'll have to phone back tomorrow. It's too late to disturb him now." Crap I had forgotten about the time difference.
"It's an emergency. I'm his... I'm his daughter. I have to speak to him. Please." I could hear her speaking to someone again.
"Very well. If you must, but please make it quick." She walked briskly until she stopped and I heard what sounded like the rustle of keys.
"Hello?" It was Ciaran. "Morgan? Is that you?"
"Hi," I said faintly. "I need your help." There, it was out. No small talk needed. I rocked back and forth on my chair, trying not to picture Hunter sitting beside me.
"You know then?" He sighed heavily and I wondered whether I should start speaking or not. "She doesn't know you, Morgan." This didn't sound like Ciaran.
"She killed Hunter, Ciaran. He's dead." Silence. "He was caught in a crash that she set up. She's taken him somewhere, we don't know where."
"You... you mean he's still alive?" I nodded and then replied with one sharp syllable. "How do you know this? Did she tell you?"
"No. I had a dream and Hunter was on his way to my house when he had the... accident. There must have been a point where we were both unconscious because we met. Well, it was more of a vision really, but it was real."
"Can you come here?" I stared at the phone in shock. "Morgan? Morgan, are you still there? I said can you come here? So that we can talk in person."
"I... I'll see what I can do. It might not be for a few weeks though, because I have school. I'll try to come as soon as I can."
"Thank you lass. Phone before you come so I'll be expecting you."
"I will. See you then. Oh, and Ciaran- I'm sorry about the time difference." As I hung up I could hear Ciaran chuckling to himself and I began to chuckle too.
