Author Note: I'm finally updating. I know, I know, I took ages to start! But you see, I didn't really have a storyline to it. But I do now. YEAH! It's a good thing, trust me. My writing style might be slightly different from the first chapter and the first story but that's because it has been so long and it has developed and improved.
High Low: I'm not leaving it like that. Not anymore anyway. I just thought of a storyline again and thought "I should really update this story." I really hope everyone likes it. I'm not sure how often I will update this story, but I really want to do it quite a lot. But hell, I might not.
Red: Nice to know you love the story. I am sorry for the Hunter dying thing but it really had to be done. Honestly. I think. Well, it made it interesting anyway. I got a lot of flames for that though.
Norfurylikewiccanscorn: I'm glad it made it to you're favourite lists. I hope you still like the whole story, not just the first chapter. Hell, that was all she wrote.
Always Smile: I like it when people read my story and like it. It's better when you review it too though, hint, hint
Morgan
I walked through the familiar door into the familiar place. I looked around. My home away from home. And yet it seemed so different, so strange. So empty without him. I briefly heard Alyce mention my name but I pushed past it. I was here for a reason, not to make small talk about my miraculous recovery.
Tears threaten to fall from my eyes. How many times had I walked in here and seen him. Just seen him standing there, looking at a book or something. And then he would flash me a smile. Oh god, his smile. It would make me melt inside. Anything from him would. He was mine, and no one, no one, had the right to take him away from me! I would kill that demon.
I shook slightly as I was pulled out of my thoughts and brought back to the real world. The harsh cold world. I realised that Alyce's arms were around me, embracing me in a hug. She hadn't realised that I was ok again. She didn't know that I really wasn't ok. She didn't know that I would never be ok again. She didn't know about Hunter.
She got off of me and looked at me. I could see her lips moving but could not hear her words. I did not want to talk to her or anyone. I was on a mission and she was just stalling in haste. I shrugged her off. She seemed slightly shocked, either because I did that or because I was refusing to answer her. I walked past her and looked around once again. I shot a glance at the bookshelves and they all flew out and landed on the floor.
Alyce called my name out once again. I felt her hand on my arm, tugging at it ever so slightly. I turned to her, I could feel the darkness of my power drain into my image. My eyes turned black and Alyce flew back into the candle stand. I turned back to the books lying spread out on the floor. They lay in a pile like the ones back at Sky's home. The ones next to the couch, the ones next to his body.
I pushed past that thought and walked over to the books. I held my arms over them and repeated the spell once again. The knowledge was flowing through me like the blood in my veins. I knew it all, but none of it was useful. None of this stuff was helping me in my vengeance.
"Alyce!" I called out her name as I stood. I repeated it and turned around. I shouted to her once again. She still lay on the floor were she fell. I smirked meanly as I saw her breathing. "Where are the forbidden books?" I asked. She continued to cough up blood and not answer my question. I repeated it in a more threatening tone than before but got the same reply. "Fine," I murmured and held out on of my hands. I saw Alyce fly into the air and slam against the wall again. Except this time, she didn't fall back down.
One part of me was screaming at me to put her down. This was wrong, this was Alyce! This is what you're supposed to be fighting against. Evil, dark magick, this is the thing that keeps bringing all the pain down to you. But another part of me was yelling that it was only just. When Hunter left you, part of you did too. His death cannot go unavenged. And when the demon is gone, no one else will feel the pain you do. And the only way to do that is this. And I was sure that I could hear someone far in the distance calling my name. It was probably Sky or Daniel, they would have figured out what had happened. Well bring them on. I could handle a bunch of little witches any day. I watched as Alyce's feet dangled from the position I held her in.
"Now Alyce, tell me dear, where are those books? I know you have them." Another rush of power blasted through me. I couldn't understand why any witch would choose to be good after being on this side. This rush it was just… amazing. Too good for words. You were on top of the world and controlled everything around. And now that my only hold to the good side was gone I was free.
But I couldn't think of Hunter like that. He may have been that, but he was also so much more. I was unbelievable the bond was that we had. No one could replace it. Ever! God, Hunter I miss you so much, why did you have to leave me? I raised my eyebrow at Alyce, wanting my answer. She remained silent. I grew very tired of the stupid game we were playing.
"Fine, if you wanna do it that way, we'll do it that way!" I closed my eyes and loosened my grip on Alyce. I let all my pain, grief, every feeling that I withheld in my body flow out of me and into the ground. For a moment I felt completely at peace. I knew Alyce felt it too, because of the power I was using to hold her up against the wall. Suddenly a mass of power seemed to consume me. My eyes flew open and I looked at Alyce, she was petrified. Then again, I thought, who wouldn't.
The invisible hold I had on her suddenly was filled with an immense glowing light. I felt myself searching through her brain, looking for the information I needed. It was very like a tath meanma, except I was the only one doing the searching. You would have thought that I would have known because of what I did with Alyce before. Apparently I didn't. But I soon would.
The back of the store. Well if it was that simple, I could have figured it out myself. I let Alyce drop down as I walked to where the books were. As I turned and walked about three feet I felt a burning sensation on my back. I rolled my eyes. Weak witches make weak witch fire. I turned back to her and smirked. Her hand was outstretched, unmoved from when she threw the witch fire. I remember the times when I used to look up to this feeble Wiccan. Thinking that she knew everything that I ever could and more. Boy, was I ever wrong.
"You don't have to do this Morgan," I felt like screaming at her, but I wouldn't. There was no point wasting precious energy on a worthless low life of a witch like her. But there was something else in her voice. It was ignorance. She needed to know the truth about Hunter, she needed to know why. She didn't deserve it, she didn't know she wanted it, but she needed to know. She knew Hunter too. And she would cry for him as well.
"I don't have to do this. I don't have to do this!" I almost laughed at what I said. It was so ridiculous. "I have to do this. I have to do this because there is nothing left for me too do! You don't understand what I feel, you will never know. It kills me inside to know that it's true and now, this is all I can do!" She continued to stare at me in confusion.
"Hunter is dead!" I yelled at her, my voice almost sounded as if it were covered in venom. I turned away to prevent her from seeing the tears welling up in my eyes. I would not cry here, I would not cry in front of them. I could feel Alyce's eyes on the back of my head, trying to pyre into what I was feeling. Like it was something that she must know. But it wasn't any of her business. I knew that she and Hunter were friends, work colleges since he moved here and started to work in this shop. I walked to the back of the store while putting another binding spell on Alyce. I wasn't going to let anything stand in my way. Not now: not again.
