A/N ok well thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, glad you liked it and sorry I've been a while in writing the next one, (I think it's been a while anyway, who knows?) Oh and by the way tainted promises, I haven't really thought up who her father is going to be, it will come out as I write it, I was as surprised as you were by the last chapter, lol ok here we go:
"You're what?" Keaira asked, stepping back against a tree,
"Your father, your biological father, if you knew you were adopted why are you so surprised?" he said, smiling that smug smile of his,
"But… why are you here?"
"For you of course, what you think I'd just leave you, my daughter to be brought up, with that witch and her baby magic? I don't think so!" he said, glowering as he said baby magic,
"What but I've already been brought up! I'm 14, I've been initiated and everything, and it's not baby magic!" Keaira didn't know why she had to defend her mother's work to this stranger, especially as she knew in her heart that she had said the same thing to Morgan only a few months ago. They had been arguing that Keaira wasn't old enough to be initiated that she should wait till she was 15. But Keaira had complained that Moira had been initiated at 14 and she wasn't going to do this baby magic anymore, how strange this man was now using the same words.
"Yes I know, a minor inconvenience, I have tried to find you before, but well there was something protecting you, until around a month or so ago." Keaira gasped that was when she had been initiated, why was there something protecting her until she was initiated, was its her mum? She didn't think so, but she couldn't think straight at the minute.
"Well what do you want with me, I'm not going with you!"
"Yes well maybe not now, but you will in time, and from your own free will I can assure you of that! Well for our first visit I just wanted to make it clear that I am alive, and you always have the chance to come and find me, here is my card, and now I must go." He handed her a small business card, "call me if you need me or want to talk" and with that he disappeared, completely, almost in a puff of smoke, he was just gone.
Keaira looked at the card it only had a number and an address, weird no nameKeaira thought. Then again maybe not so wierd.
She walked back through the woods, hurrying to get home, her mum would be worried now, she didn't know what time it was but it was already getting dark. When she walked into the cottage she looked at the clock in the hall 5:30, she was over 2 hours late. She walked into the kitchen where she could feel her family sitting, waiting anxiously.
"Moira, go upstairs, your father and I need to talk to Keaira, Keaira stop skulking by the door and sit down" Morgan Niall always had such power in her voice that Keaira had never seen anyone disobey her. She sat quickly.
"Well, Keaira what's your explanation? Dylan had been phoning all night, distraught, he thinks this is his fault, what happened!" Hunter sat opposite her, speaking calmly, trying not to let any emotion enter his voice, butKeaira could tell he'd been really worried.
"I… I… I was in the woods, and I met someone"
"Who, you know your not allowed to talk to strangers, what if it had been someone dangerous or…" hunter said, then Morgan interrupted him,
"Who was it Keaira?"
"My… he said he was my biological father" Morgan and Hunter's eyes widened at this. They had never expected this to happen, not after all these years.
"What can you tell me about my… biological family, I know I've never really been interested before, but you said you had some things you'd show me when I was ready, well I'm ready"
Morgan stood up and went into the living room, she knew she had to tell Keaira everything she knew, having been through this herself, she knew secrets only made things worse. She reached up onto a shelf, and whispering a spell pulled a panel out from the wall, inside there was a small box, this she brought into the kitchen.
"This is all we know, all we found you with and all we could find out about through public records."
Keaira opened the box and their on the top of the pile was a silver pentacle on a light silver chain,
