A/N well I had 2 reviews, which is ok, but I really want to write the next chapter so here is part 2! (And I'm twisted ey, well wait until you see what I have instore for next! Hahahaha evil laughter which falls silentas the sound of keys typing gets louder


"… I was raised here, by my adoptive family, they were nice enough but I always wanted to know about my real mother, I did a spell, a dangerous one I might add and found out her name, then I found out as much as I could about her, and my father, and their families. It was around then that your mother came to town, Brenna O'riley. She worked at the local magick store and all the lads from all around wanted to know her, she had long black hair, like yours, but I think you get your eyes from me, anyway, your mother, she was beautiful, not just on the outside, but she cared about everyone, she was so kind. She moved here to live with her granddad that was ill. We soon got to know each other, I was going out with someone at the time, I thought I was in love, until I saw your mother. We were friends at first; she would never have let me near her when I was still in a relationship. The more I got to know about her the more I knew I was in love, that she was my soulmate. She was the first person I told about my mother, then I split up with my girlfriend, I asked her out and of course she denied at first, saying it was too soon, but I knew she felt the same way about me. I just could feel it. Anyway, we started going out and she helped me too find out where my mother was, in widow's vale, with your adoptive mother. Brenna moved in with me, when I decided to live near-by, so I could find out more. Her grandfather had died and there was nothing that made her want to stay, we knew we only needed each other. Of course we weren't poor,"

He chuckled, gesturing around him "you might be able to tell, I was adopted by a rich family and they gave me as much money as I wanted, they wanted me to be happy, where ever that was. But anyway I was in widow's vale with your mother, we kept low, not letting anyone know about us, but we joined a coven, and practised our magick, your mother, when she practised magick, it was a glorious sight, she was so powerful. I loved her so much then Selene found out about us. She came round one day and just sat in the kitchen, with Brenna until I returned from work. When I came in she said "so Braeden you want to know about me, well I gave you up, because I was forced to by your father, and I have been wanting to find you ever since then." I didn't know then that she was lying, I fell for her trap, she begged us to join her coven, and I did because I wanted to know her, Brenna did, because she loved me and would do anything for me." He smiled, sadly to himself, "I wish we hadn't, anyway I soon found she was performing dark magick, but even then I did nothing, I didn't want to ruin anything, I didn't tell Brenna that, but she found out. Soon my mother and Cal were killed. It was a terrible experience for me, especially as I knew deep down that she was killed because she performed dark rites. We left widow's vale and came back here. But people from my mother's coven were leaderless. They wanted a new leader, they wanted me, Cal was no longer alive and I was the only other blood relative of Selene, the only one who might be able to lead them in the same way. But of course your mother would never have that, and neither would I so we ran. We ran for years, until when we were about 25 they stopped trying to find us. We returned here, and after a little while conceived you, you were the best thing that happened to us, even before you were born. You united us, in the true name of the goddess. Then for some reason, something happened. I went out to work, about a month after you were born and Brenna and you were gone. There was a note from Brenna saying not to try and find you, but obviously I had to, there was no reason for her to go." He looked at his plate and started playing with his food, "I found her and she no longer had you. She said she was in danger that she didn't want to put either of us in, then she ran away, I tried to chase after her but she was fast and when I found her, she had stabbed herself with an athame." He choked slightly, " it was one of the hardest times of my life, the only thing that kept me going was the fact that you were still out there, you are the one thing Brenna left behind for me, and I knew I had to find you" he looked up and Keaira could see tears in his eyes, "so here we are"

Keaira could do nothing but gape and stare; it was too much to take in.

"My mother's… dead?"

"I'm afraid so, I tried to find out what scared her so much but I think she maybe had a form of depression, something that made her extra-paranoid"

"I'm sorry, but I, this is just so much to take in, I need to go home, I've been her too long my mum will be worried," she started to get up, but her grabbed her hand

"But Keaira, don't you want to spend more time with me?" he looked a little scary,

"I do… but I need to go home, please I'll come back"

He smiled all traces of anger gone from his eyes, "of course you will, but here have a drink first." He passed her a glass that was full of some kind of juice as Keaira drank she could taste the unusual herbs in it. Then all she could feel was a cold, darkness…


3 ½ years later

Morgan sat at the table, feeling worn out; Moira had gone home, to her little cottage with Ian, where she was staying until she finished university. Hunter was out, and Morgan was alone in the house. There should have been someone else to add to that list. Morgan would never feel the pain of losing Keaira lessen. She felt proud that Moira was doing so well. But Moira wasn't her only child. As she sat staring into space, forgetting about the cup of tea that was going cold in her hands, she thought of the day when everything had just ceased. Her life had gone on hold, for 3 ½ years she had been running on auto pilot, even Hunter her muirn beatha dan couldn't change how she felt. She remembered getting the call from school, asking why Keaira wasn't in that day, she remembered making excuses for her behaviour. They had all just had a great shock, but when Keaira didn't come home that night the fear started in, after a few weeks Morgan just felt numb, now after years, years of wondering and not knowing, Morgan wondered if she would ever be able to feel anything. It had been the same day that Kyle Logan had had a car crash, he hadn't been seriously injured, but it came out later, when Morgan was visiting him, that he and Keaira had split up, most people thought that was the reason she had run away. Some closer friends knew about Keaira finding her father and thought that was why. Morgan didn't know, she couldn't believe Keaira had run away, she knew she wasn't dead, Moira and Hunter had tried to make her grieve, they believed Keaira was gone, but was in a happier place, at one with the goddess, or maybe in her next life. But Morgan knew she wasn't gone. They had scried for her of course, but all that came up was a purple smoke. Morgan still scried often, but in secret, no one would ever understand. She heard Hunter coming in the back door, and saying something, he sat down next to her, and wiped the tears she hadn't even felt away from her face.

"Morgan," he said with his voice that seemed calm and steady, even after discovering his most precious person in tears, he pulled her closer to him, and stroked her hair.

"She isn't gone, I won't believe it!" Morgan choked out through her tears,

"Shh," Hunter said, calmly, "it's ok love, I'm here"
