Chapter 8: Darkest Day

The morning came and with the sun, came the knowledge that this was to be the last day that Moira would be a witch.

Hunter, Morgan and Alisa walked into the New Charter's building wordlessly.

"Morgan, I'm so sorry- " Kennet began but was cut off by Morgan's voice reaching a nearly unheard of note

"SHUT UP!" She screeched "Don't you DARE say your sorry! This is ALL your doing!"

Kennet went over in an attempt to comfort her, reaching his hand out to touch her arm

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" She yelled as she jumped back, slapping his hand away "Don't come NEAR me!"

Kennet looked at Hunter, as if asking what to do. "Just Go" Hunter whispered softly as he held his sobbing wife in his arms attempting to stop the tears that fell from her light brown eyes.

"Hunter, I can't!" Morgan whimpered, "I can't do this… I can't… I can't… I can't…"

"Shhhh its ok love…" Hunter whispered back, gentlely running his hands up and down her back "Its all going to be ok…"

Alisa walked back into the room, and solemnly stated "Hunter, Its Time"

Hunter nodded and looked down at Morgan. "Love, we must go…"

Hunter drew a pentagram on the ground and all the terrible memories of the past bindings he had performed began to rush back into his head. Pushing the horrid thoughts from his mind he finished the circle, asked each person to take their place at a point, then cast the circle with Moira in the center.

"Moira of Belwicket, do you understand why you are here today and what is going to happen?" Hunter asked in a strong voice, attempting to conceal his pain

"Daddy please" Moira begged "Don't do this I'm sorry Don't Daddy DON'T" Tears streamed down her face as she tried to reason with him…

"Moira, I'm sorry, Its too late, the deed has been done, Now tell me, Do you understand?"

This time Moira simply answered "yes"

Hunter began the chant as Sky hit the drum, slow at first then faster and faster. Bright Beautiful blue light flew from Moira's body then as quickly as it appeared, it vanished and Moira fell to the floor in a heap.

Hunter stopped his chant and taking Morgan's hand in his, he said "It is done. Moira Of Belwicket will no longer see the power of the Goddess."

They opened the circle and together Morgan and Hunter took Moira into their arms holding her close whispering "I'm so sorry…" as the 3 cried together…
