Finally! An update! Sorry it took so long. I was ever so slightly stuck after the last chapter. Writer's block sucks. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
The Spirit.
Chapter Four: Linden
"Linden?" Hunter asked, looking into familiar green eyes.
"It's good to see you again, Hunter." Linden's voice came from Mary K.'s small mouth.
"Linden, why are you doing this?" Hunter had tears in his eyes. He didn't know if they were tears of joy or hurt.
"I've combined my spirit with Mary Kathleen's. So I can see you again. So we can be family once more." Linden spoke.
"You can't do this. You know it's wrong." Hunter stated, sounding like a seeker.
"She's happier now… with me. I know it." Linden smiled though Mary K.
"You can't be selfish." Hunter narrowed his eyes.
"But… I'm not being selfish. This is what she needs too."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because she's lonely." He sounded unsure.
"She's only fourteen, Linden. She has yet to find love." Hunter reasoned.
"But Bakker hurt her. And she wants me to stay. I can feel it." Linden argued.
"She's scared. She doesn't want the magick. Let her go. We'll be together in the next life." Hunter started to feel more hurt. "You're just causing me and Mary K. pain. Don't do this."
"But, I care about her." Linden's voice was soft. "Because I've seen everything in her heart and soul."
"Then let her go. She will always remember you. But don't stay with her. You're only hurting her."
"I can't."
"You'll see her in the next life." Hunter sighed. He hugged Mary K.'s possessed body. "If you care, let her go." He added, just above a whisper.
"NO!" Linden pushed Hunter away and shot witch fire at him. "I'm going to stay!" Linden growled before retreating into Mary K.'s soul.
Mary K.'s eyes returned to normal and she look confused at Hunter, who had been knocked to the floor.
"What happened?" Mary K. asked.
"Nothing. Linden spoke to me, that's all. It was nothing." Hunter stood up and brushed of the wrinkles out of his clothes. "I'll be down stairs with your sister." Hunter added before he left Mary K. in confusion.
sorry it's so short. But It's all I could get out of my brain. I PROMISE I'll try to make the next chapter longer.
