After School I drove to Practical Magick. When I entered, Alyce was ringing up another customer, so I waited by the jewelry. When she was through, she came over to me and hugged me.

"Morgan" she said. "It's so good to see you again." After she studied me for a moment, she asked. "Are you alright?"

I shook my head then asked "do you think we could talk?"

"Sure I was thinking of closing up early. Wait here a second ok?'

I nodded my head and Alyce went over to the door and locked it and turned the sign over so 'open' was facing the inside of the store. She then motioned for me to follow her.

"This is my apartment she said as she opened the door."

As I entered, I realized that since she was living here that must mean that David had called on the Tabis and had his powers striped.

"So" Alyce began. "Have you heard what happened with the store and David?"

"No" I responded. " But I know what happened."

"How?" she asked.

"That's one of the things I wanted to talk to you about. While I was in my coma, I . . . well I had a very vivid dream. It was so vivid I thought it was real." I went on to describe everything that happened with Cal with Hunter, Selene, Ciaran, the dark wave. "And one more thing before my first confrontation with Selene I did a Tath meanma Brach."

"With Who?"

"You."

"What?"

"You agreed to do the Brach with me and I still remember everything. That's one reason I'm not sure it was just a dream."

"Odd. No wonder you seemed so upset and confused."

"No kidding" I said wryly. " Can you do me a favor? Can you tell me everything that's happened while I was in the coma?"

"Of coarse. Well you know what happened with David. Shortly after you're the accident a seeker came -by the name of Kennet Muir I believe- they found Selene guilty fo misusing Magick and stripped her powers. From what I hear it doesn't look like she'll last much longer. They questioned Cal intensively and found him innocent. He was released to his father and stepmother. After Selene was captured, they were able to come out of hiding. Their daughter Alwyn joined them soon after. You already know about Alwyn's cousin Sky coming to town. Nobody is really sure of her motives. Although Cal is convinced, she is . . . well evil. I think that's pretty much it. Does that help any?"

"A little." I replied "but im also a bit more confused. Do you mind if I ask you some questions?"

"Not at all. What do you want to know?"

"Did you ever meet or hear anyone talk about Hunter?"

Alyce shook her head then said "No I haven't. I have talked some with Alwyn and she's never mentioned him either."

Ok so she wasn't lying. I was relived and frustrated at the same time. I glanced at the clock "Darn im late for dinner." I said goodbye to Alyce and rushed down the stairs and though the shop.

As I pushed open the door, I noticed a figure standing by my car. The person turned as I approached. "Hunter!" I exclaimed.
