I do not own Sweep nor the Characters.

Chapter Three: The Dream

Mary K. stood next to a small stream. She was face to face with Linden.

"Why are you here?" Mary K. looked at Linden

He gazed at her with his green eyes, just like Hunter's. He pointed to the circle ten feet away. He took her hands in his. Mary K. now recognized the place from the vision she had. She began to get scared.

"Tell Hunter I'm sorry. I just wanted to find Mum and Da. I never meant to cause him pain. Let Alwyn know I love her. You'll be happy Mary K. I promise." Linden said before fading away.

"No! Linden, wait! Why have you called upon me?" Mary K. ran after his fading shadow.

"You called upon me." His whisper was all around her. She thought it came from inside her head.

"LINDEN!" Mary K. screamed, sitting upright in her bed.

"What happened?" Morgan and Hunter rushed into the room.

It was the next morning. Mary K. rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She looked at Hunter, noticing he was still in the same clothes from the night before. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"To keep an eye on you." He replied.

"Mary K. looked from him to Morgan. "Nothing happened?" she thought looking at Morgan.

Morgan laughed. "No. Nothing happened." She kneeled down next to the bed.

Mary K. gapped eyes widened. "I didn't say that out loud!"

"No. But you said it with you mind. I like to call it a witch message." Morgan smiled. "While you have these powers, you can call upon me from the school if you wanted."

"But please don't. You are untrained and it's actually against the council's wishes. You should not be using these powers. They don't actually don't belong to you." Hunter was acting as a seeker as usual. "Now what happened?" he added as he sat down next to Mary K.

"Linden told me to tell you he's sorry. That he just wanted to find Mum and Da. And not to cause you pain. He also told me to tell Alwyn that he loves her. Who is she?" Mary K. asked as Hunter's jaw went tight.

"His younger sister." Morgan replied. "What else?"

"I asked him, in my dream, why he's called on me. He said that I called on him." Mary K. looked at Morgan. "It felt so real, like I was actually standing there with him. I felt him hold my hand and he promised that I would be happy." She spoke with a dreamy voice.

"He said you called on him?" Hunter asked.

"Yes."

"Ok." Hunter thought. "Mary K, do you mind if I go into you mind?"

"What?" She looked at him like he was crazy.

"It's just like Morgan did last night. You won't feel anything." Hunter replied.

"Maybe I should…"Morgan started.

"No. You don't know what to look for." Hunter cut her off "It will take me no time." He looked at Mary K.

"I don't know…" She thought, but closed her eyes and started to control her breathing.

Hunter placed his right hand on her left temple and was sucked into her mind. He flew memory after memory. Birthdays, family holidays, vacations. He found what he was looking for: the subconscious memory of Selene. But there was nothing. Just the kidnap and binding spells. He continued, seeing he memories of Linden. This thought brought tears to his eyes. He saw Linden hold Mary K's hand and how she felt happy. He then saw Linden, somehow calling on Mary K, giving her powers and using her as a way to connect to the living. Hunter drew back. He blinked his eyes, confused.

"Well?" Morgan asked.

"I don't know." Hunter shook his head. "He must want us to know something." He thought, standing up.

Morgan figured to give them a moment to talk and stood up. "I'll go make some breakfast." She left Mary K. and Hunter in the room.

"You tried to stop him?" Mary K. looked at Hunter stand by the window in her room.

"Yes. And it nearly killed me. He replied, looking outside at the white world of snow out side.

"But he liked the darkness to magick. I don't know how I know this, but I do. This knowledge goes deep into my soul. I also know how much he admired you." Mary K shook her head. "Will I be stuck with these feelings and powers?"

"The knowledge… yes. But the council is deciding on what to do about the powers. They might strip you." He answered, before starting to leave.

"Hunter?" She asked and he turned to face her. "I'm scared."

He walked over and hugged her. "Everything will be ok." He comforted her.

"Thank you Gìomanch." Mary K. felt Hunter's muscles stiffen. "Linden! He's with me. Right now. I feel it!" her eyes widen.

Hunter pulled away. He watched Mary K's eyes turn green like Linden's were.

Oh! What a place to stop huh? Hehehe. You just have to wait for and update. I hope you enjoy.
