A/N : Hey guys this is chapter six!
Thank you to the reviewers!
Dionne: It's great getting feedback from you and everyone else. I'm glad you like the story and thank you for all the reviews!
JadeMoon: I'm glad that you don't mind the Cliffhangers! Thank you for the review and enjoy the next chapter.
Pipergirl2003: I know you weren't expecting the whole pregnancy thing but you'll understand why I put in there in later chapters I promise. And Morgan is 17, at the moment she is at the school in Scotland, that's were the 14th book left of and I plan to continue the story till Hunter dies, and maybe longer if the reviewers want it, but it's a long way of yet.
Anyway I'm so glad you like it and keep reading and I promise the pregnancy thing will make sense.
Coolies: I not tell why baby is boy! I'm joking.... No the baby can't be Moira because you know she isn't born till after Hunter dies and I didn't want to have her pregnant with Moira yet since I am sticking pretty much with what Cate Tiernan has told us about what happened during the four years till he does die.
But I will be telling you why it's a boy soon, so keep reading and reviewing!
Hands off: God I'm sorry I know you hate them. So for you this chapter has no Cliffhanger's. I bet your having a sigh of relief right now eh? I don't like making you mad. Thank you and enjoy the new Chapter!
Saz-646: Thanks for the review, it's kinda tough with exams at the moment and I keep neglecting the ol' schoolwork and my teachers are in a strop with me. But I love writing and I'm loving it at the moment so I going to keep the updates coming. Thank you and enjoy the new chapter!
Thanks again reviewers!

Chapter six: Understanding.
"Your who?" I repeated blankly. Her relentless staring was becoming very uncomfortable. I felt like I was on display.
"O, I'm sorry- my name is Katrina Byrne and this is my husband Powel." She said but she didn't stop staring.
"Can I ask why you're here?" Hunter asked while I just stood there, unsure as to what I should day.
Her gaze shifted to Hunter "O hello- yes well we were hoping to talk to Morgan"
"Erm... what about?" I asked nervously, I glanced at Hunter quickly and he gave me a sideways look.
"Would it be alright if we came in- just to talk" she added, I could sense she was quite powerful, so much in fact that it appeared to be rolling of her.
I shrugged "Yeah sure" I indicated for them to come in
"Thank you" Katrina said and Powel smiled faintly at me as he came in.
Katrina cast a look around my room as she came in, now that I got a better look at her she didn't seem all that frightening, more like a grandmother from a fairytale book.
She sat on Karalee's bed with Powel and Hunter and I sat on mine, each of us watching and assessing.
She reminded me a lot of Alyce "Can I get you anything- tea, water" I said biting my lip.
She shook her head almost in wonder then she smiled "I am sorry" she apologised.
"It's just that you remind us so much of Maeve" she went on and my eyes opened wide.
Goddess what did she just say? Did she know my mother?
"I do?" it was the only thing I could think of to say. Beside me Hunter was watching my guests with a wary, alert and calm demeanour and I looked at him but nothing in his face betrayed what he was thinking, and right now it would have been a little reassuring to know.
I shook my head then closed my eyes "you- you knew my biological Mother?" my voice sounded hoarse.
Katrina Smiled and I cast a quick look over at her husband Powel- he hadn't said much and it was a little weird.
"Yes I did" she replied a little sadly, the smile fading a little from her face.
"Who are you- I mean I know who you are- but who are you? How did you know my mother?" I said haltingly.
Hunter took my hand and gave me his strength- I was grateful for it
"I should start and the beginning" she said pointedly looking first at me than at Hunter, asking a silent question.
"This is my boyfriend Hunter," I said noticing her inquiring look and he squeezed my hand comfortingly.
He leant forward on the bed and shook Katrina's hand then Powel's.
"It's so wonderful to finally meet you- we have heard so much about you" Katrina said almost quivering with excitement and Powel nodded his head in agreement.
I smiled at them a little shyly and Hunter looked over at me again giving me a reassuring smile that warmed me.
I took at deep breath "What have you heard?"
Katrina looked first at Powel then back at me "That you are the Biological daughter of Maeve Riordan and Ciaran Macewan"
My mouth dropped open, who were these people? How did they know about my true parentage?
Katrina nodded her head "We have tried so hard to find you- ever since we found out of your existence"
"What?" I repeated blankly.
"We were part of the original coven of Belwicket," she stated and my mouth dropped open again.
What?
Belwicket?
But... they all died when the dark wave came, didn't they?
I couldn't get my head around it "Your part of the coven?"
"We were," she corrected sadly.
I couldn't believe it, here were two people that had survived Amyranth's attack on Belwicket!
But I thought there had been no survivors.
"How can this be?" I said almost to myself.
"You were a member of Belwicket" Hunter stated, obviously as stunned as I was.
"It can't be" I said completely lost.
Two had survived.... Two.
But not the rest... Not Mackenna- my grandmother.... Not the rest.
"More survived" Powel said speaking for the first time, my gaze shifted to him.
"More?" I repeated.
"Yes- Katrina's sister Susan and her husband two others called Brett and Lacey Hawkstone- they are friends of ours" He said.
"We'd been on holiday at the time- down in Wexford actually and when we had returned home- it was gone- all of it, our families, friends, even our houses- all gone" she said in an odd shaky voice.
" I will never forget what we saw when we went back" Powel said quietly shaking his head.
"It was horrible- the bodies- they were ashes on the ground, the place was evil- you could sense it all around you" Katrina shuddered but then attempted to compose herself.
"We left" she went on "we had to, we feared that whoever – whatever- had killed our families and friends would come for us too" "We went back to Wexford and went into Hiding, We have been in hiding since then- 16 years-"she broke of and suppressed a dry sob
"I'm so sorry" I whispered and I truly was, goddess only knew how they felt seeing their whole lives gone.
Goddess how could Ciaran have done this?
What could have possessed him to hurt so many people?
All at once I felt so much anger towards him- at all the pain he had inflicted.
I have so many different feeling about him- fear, love, admiration and hatred all mixed into a very weird and disturbing whirlpool.
I don't think I will ever be able to understand Ciaran- not ever.
Not 5 months ago Hunter, and several other witches had performed a stripping spell on him and I had stood by and watched.
I had had so many confusing feelings for him then- things I knew I could never work through.
He had chosen his own life over mine. I guess when it came down to it my love wasn't enough satisfaction for him.
I knew the pain he had caused people- what the entire of his coven had done was no secret anymore. But I still saw him as my father.
The father I both hated and loved had done this, I was here, listening to this woman crying over something Ciaran- my father- had ripped from her. It made me rethink my situation.
Ciaran could have been a different person if he had wanted to, he could have been a better Husband to Grania, a better father to Kyle, Killian and Iona.
And to me.
But he had failed on all accounts.
He could have chosen to leave my mother alone- if he did that she would still be alive and I would have known my true mother.
And Belwicket would still be standing- if it had not been for my father- my evil twisted father.
He caused so much pain, took so much from people and he was half of me. I knew that there was more of Ciaran in me than I ever truly realised, more to me than what people see and what people have heard about me.
Maybe I could help them.
I didn't know what to think anymore.
"I'm sorry," I repeated.
Hunter had watched me calmly, tracing comforting circled on my back and sending waves of love and calm to me from him.
At that moment I realised two things,
I had too give them back what Ciaran took from them... and I had to see Ciaran again.
I would put things right...
Sometime...
