*Grins sheepishly here *
And I would like to give a big, huggable thank you to all my reviewers both old and new!
Coolies: yeah I have a thing for kittens to, their just so adorable. Mine one though is a little freaky since it has one blue eye and one green. But I think that makes him even more cute! He's a big boy though- but I guess that's ok since he is like what.... Hmmm 12 years old, he just stays in the corner and is nearly blind.... But I still love him.
Anyway.... I always seem to go way of the point don't I? Hmmm.... O yeah Morgan will be initiated in this chapter and it will be one freaky ritual lets just say! You're my No. 1 fan? O I could hug you! Thanks you so much!
JadeMoon: Glad you liked the spell, I just made it up actually. It good you don't think it was as bad as I did but I spent a lot of time on this chapter so hopefully everyone will like it. Anyway thanks for the review and enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter eight: How strong you can feel.
"I don't understand..." I said completely lost. I was to be initiated?
Huh?
Prof. Lawler nodded a smile playing on his face "Yes.... We feel you are ready"
Abruptly I sat down and bit my lip "I don't understand- I mean I've- well I've only been practicing for.... "I shook my head bewildered "9 months and I thought it took at least a year and a day.
He nodded again "Usually it does but- you are an exception" he said gently. But I just sat there and started not really knowing what to say.
"You have impressed many with your abilities and we feel that it is time for you to take the next step," he said watching me carefully for any signs of doubt or fear.
Right now I was feeling both.
I sighed, "I don't know..."
Is brow creased in confusion "You do not feel ready for this?"
"It's not that- goddess I don't know- it's just a shock- I mean I have wanted this for so long... I've dreamt about it, learning my true name, becoming more in touch with who I am and the goddess- it would be a proper tie to her" But deep down the whole thing kind of spooked me.
I mean 9 months ago I was just an ordinary girl, I had no idea that these kind of powers existed. Then Cal came and he opened new worlds for me. He showed me things, made me believe in things that I had never thought possible.
Then he had tried to kill me.
It's kind of Ironic if you think about it, I mean all the joy I have experienced- it overrode the pain and anguish I have suffered.
All the anger, frustration and hate- it disappeared- and it was al because of one person.
If it weren't for Wicca I would never have met Hunter- my Muirn Beatha Dans- my soul mate.
He is my match in every singe way.
And now sitting here I just don't know if my life would have been easier if I had gone down another path.
I didn't think so.
"Ok" I said softly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Well he must really like you" Karalee said with her eyebrows raised amused.
I was back in the dorm room and Karalee had just come in from work, I was sitting sprawled on the bed and Karalee was at the other end.
I threw a pillow at her and she laughed holding up her hands "I'm serious you know" I gave her a quirked look
"Well he went and asked the high councillors and you know how hard they are to impress," she said pointedly.
I thought about it for a moment "What do you reckon he's after?" I asked a little conspiringly and she laughed again.
"Who knows Morgan...Who knows"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I did truly want to be initiated and over the next two days I talked to some of the teachers at the school.
I had asked them weather it would hurt the baby and they had that there was no immediate danger to him.
Only I suppose to me.
They had given me the rite written out and other information like what I was supposed to wear etc. But I have to admit I was nervous.
I called Hunter and told him what they had said and he was surprised at it but he was pleased as well I could tell.
"I can't help but fell worried though," I had said to him.
"Don't worry you'll be fine- I know you will- you can face anything" he had said to me and it had helped- a little.
The ritual was to be tonight- since it was a waning moon and it would be the best time to have it.
Be with me goddess.... Please
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"So how do I look?" I asked Karalee; she was sitting on the bed with her knees drawn up in a way that made her look like at cat.
"Gorgeous.... You worried?" she asked
I heaved a sigh and flopped down on the bed beside her "Am I doing the right thing, aren't I?"
She shrugged "who knows but- if you feel that it's right then- I guess it is"
"Would- would you, you know- come with me?" I asked and I knew it sounded lame but I needed to see a semi- friendly face.
She smiled and pulled herself up a little" Sure... when's kick off?"
I looked at my watch "not for another hour- goddess what am I doing" I sat down and put my head in my hands.
"Come on Morgan- it will be alright- you'll see" she said tracing soothing circles on my back.
I took a deep lungful of air and straightened up "I need Hunter"
Karalee looked at me with Sympathy "He couldn't come"
I shook my head "He's in Romania at the moment and he couldn't get a flight"
"It would be so much easier if he were here" I stated and I felt like bursting into tears.
"I know but we'll do our best no matter what happens" he said comfortingly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It amazing how quick an hour can go I thought as Karalee and I walked slowly outside the heavy wooden doors to the fresh, cool breeze outside.
Karalee shivered and I did to – I was wearing only my witches' robe- the robe that my mother had used to lead her circles decades ago.
I looked up and saw it was a clear night and I could see the stars twinkling overhead.
I breathed in once, then twice "Ok lets go- before we freeze"
And just like that we erupted into giggled- I guess we had both had been so tense that we had needed to let it out.
We both stifled it pretty quickly though as soon as we saw Prof Lawler and a couple of other teachers heading towards them "Hello Morgan! O and Karalee how are you?" he asked cheerfully.
The smile froze on my face and I looked at the ground "You'll be fine Morgan- you will"
I looked up at him and smiled gratefully- he really was a great teacher " thanks Prof" I said faintly.
Goddess what have I gotten myself into?
"Just stay here for a few moments- then I will come back for you," he said turning to leave.
I gulped audibly "Jesus" is aid falling back on old tradition and Karalee smirked at me.
"Don't think he can help you much now" she came over and pulled me down to sit on a nearby bench.
"You'll be fine I know you will," she said forcefully watching me.
O crap. O crap. O crap.
I started to rock backwards and forwards- it was cold out but it wasn't the cold the was bothering me
I took a deep breath trying to calm down "I cant do this" I said and I got up shivering.
I had turned to go when I heard someone say "Morgan? Where are you going?" the voice sounded so familiar I almost cried with happiness.
I turned around and came face to face with my tall, blond boyfriend leaning against a tree about 30 feet away from me.
"Hunter?" I whispered hardly believing it; my voice sounded hoarse and came out in a cloud of billowing mist.
He smiled and it was like the sun coming out of the clouds, he came over to me and rubbed my arms and back to try and warm me up.
"I can't do this..." I said pathetically, near tears.
"Yes you can – I know you can love," he said stroking my hair away from my face.
I shook my head "I cant I'm not ready yet- please don't make me"
Hunter steered me over to the side and took both my hands in his "I know you can" he repeated forcefully and I believed him.
"We have faced so much- you and I – we have faced so much that I had never thought that we could be put though- this is just a step- one step Morgan and that's it" He said stroking my cheek.
Hunter moved closer to me and I gave him a small smile "I'm so glad you're here"
Hunter smiled and leaned down to kiss me and I pushed against him longingly, and he responded almost immediately.
He pushed me gently against the wall and traced his hand along my spine. I shivered- not from cold or doubt- but from love and passion.
His arms went around me and I felt that I could go up against anything, now that I had Hunter- my soulmate- here with me.
