A/N Some of you got it, some of you didn't but all will be revealed soon for those who are confused. I know I've been bad and not updated for a while but I've been on work overload (mocks are coming up) but I feel guilty so here I am- another chapter!
Morgan's POV:-
The spell is wearing off. I must complete my task tonight and he will be mine forever. He is a pretty thing but it is Sgath who has stolen my heart. I will destroy Giomanach. I will rip him limb from limb and then I will return to Sgath, my precious Sgath.

"Father." Ciaran's eyes glanced up at my casual use of the word 'father'. They flicked over me, taking in my new outfit. My hair was twisted into an elegant knot at the nape of my neck and I wore a white, boat-neck top which clung to my figure. I was proud of my new curves which made me look more feminine that ever before. I smiled at him with confidence and he frowned at me.
"Sit down Morgan," his tone was serious and it made me sit down against my will. He did not meet my eye and instead gazed out of the window. "What are you doing?" I blinked… once, twice. "Why are you being so frivolous? What about Hunter?" I rolled my eyes. Another person telling me to ditch Cal. Well he was in for a shock.
"Ciaran," I began sternly, "I'm with Cal now. We're happy together and I don't want anybody interfering." He looked as though he was about to say something and then stopped himself. "Does that concern you?"
Unable to stay quiet any longer he let out a snort. "If you and Cal are so happy then why was he flirting with Iona earlier? They certainly looked very cosy together. Does he know you're here?" I shook my head and then realised what he was trying to do.
"Stop it. I love Cal and you cannot change that." He sighed and stood up, indicating that I should follow. Hesitantly we made our way to the cafeteria and I smirked at Elizabeth as we passed her open door.
The cafeteria was large and crowded but I could easily make out a large group of people in the centre of the room who were sitting round one table. At the head of the table sat a pretty girl who was leaning seductively over to someone who was obscured from view. I craned my neck and was just able to make out a lean body ending with a head of shaggy brown hair. Cal. The world went black.
"Morgan?" I blinked a few times and saw Ciaran standing over me. "Are you alright?" I nodded and let out a brisk laugh. It could not have been Cal, he was in Widow's Vale. I stood up and looked around curiously. Where was the guy I had mistaken for Cal? The girl that was with him… she seemed so familiar but I could not quite place it.
Ciaran handed me a cup of tea and I sipped it. My senses began to tingle and I felt as if a veil had been lifted from over my eyes. I was aware of every colour and smell, every sound and touch. What had just happened? Ciaran did not betray any information, his eyes flicked towards the door and then he walked away from me to talk to someone who had just come in.
A flash of brown hair caught my eye and I was surprised to find that I did not faint again. Cal was sitting in front of me, his arm curled around an ugly girl, their lips touching. They did not notice as I watched them, and I was able to probe gently into their minds. The girl was called Iona. I nearly recoiled in shock… Iona… she could not be… and yet I felt so clearly that she was. Her beauty appeared to have wilted since my dream and her features kept changing, never staying the same long enough for me to examine her. She had cast a glamour to make herself beautiful. How desperate.
Cal looked up and as I met his golden eyes I felt my love for him renew and he pushed the beautiful woman on his lap away from him, murmuring something and made his way towards me. He kissed my cheek gently.
"I couldn't stand to be away from you," I smiled and he motioned to his partner. "This is a friend of mine, Iona. She pounced on me but I told her that I'm already in love, with you." My heart melted and I let him lead me away from the woman's prying eyes. Any yet, deep in my heart I felt a tug and as I looked up I met the eyes of a young man standing nearby. For a brief second I was in another world, trapped in his green eyes and then I blinked and grinned at Cal.
Hunter's POV:-
I slipped into the cafeteria, and was immediately met by Ciaran. After a few minutes of polite conversation I excused my self and went to get some food. I passed a table where a couple sat, clinging to each other. Taking a step back, I stared at them. That was Iona. How could she betray me like that?
I restrained myself as the boy climbed off of her and turned to another woman, kissing her and murmuring to her. He took her hand and a flash of fear crossed her face and she followed him. She looked up and our eyes met. The man tugged her hand and she turned away, grinning.
I blinked at the girl who had just left. I had met her eyes for only a second and in that instant I felt a deep connection to her.
My head was throbbing and I rushed outside before Iona saw me. Where could I go? I was not supposed to leave but I had to… I had to go somewhere… anywhere.
A/N I hope you liked it. The next chapter should be a bit more exciting but we'll see. I'm just relieved that I updated. Well… review and tell me what you think!
