Chapter ten: Why I am who I am.
I was everything I was meant to be....
The storm overhead broke suddenly and the sky opened to reveal purple clouds dancing.
I can't say that I feel different... I don't know really.
Goddess.
I looked at my hands and saw black lines starting to appear on the skin.
O goddess what is happening?
I gasped as I saw the black lines turn red and I turned and almost from a distance I saw Hunter struggling to break through the barriers that were surrounding me in clouds of vapour.
I was stupid with panic. What should I do?
The other coven members were beginning to jump up and chant revealing spells- that and protection spells.
"Morgan!" Hunter shouted but I didn't hear anything since inside it was like I was immune to everything. The wall of vapour seemed to grow taller and thicker.
And suddenly I found myself face down in the mud, with pain so horrid and sudden that I cried out.
I was starting to feel numb and I was so cold.
The air seemed stale to me, dead almost. Like all of it's life had been sucked from it.
What is going on?
As suddenly as the pain came it was gone, and I collapsed unto the ground breathing heavily.
Blearily I looked around me... then the world went dark.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Have you any idea what happened?" I heard someone asked then I recognised the voice as Hunter's. He was sitting on a chair beside my table holding my hand tightly.
"Hunter?" I whispered and he turned in his seat to me.
A look of relief broke over his face "O Morgan! Thank the goddess!" he folded me into a hug and pressed me against him hard.
I linked arms around his neck" What happened?" I murmured against his neck.
I turned and saw that Eric Lawler was there and the high priestess that had led the rite.
She looked at me once with what appeared to be hesitation- but I didn't think it was "I have never seen anything like that happen at an simple initiation," she said quietly and my brow creased.
I shook my head "I don't understand. WHAT did happen?" I asked alarmed.
She bit her lip in thought "I have only read about this- never experienced it"
"What?" I stayed by Hunter; he was watching the woman intently.
She looked at Eric first then at me "Well- the last time it happened was almost.... Well it was almost 60 years ago. It was at your Grandmothers initiation."
"Mackenna's?" I asked
"Yes.... It is a sign from the goddess, I am surprised it had happened, you are so young in the craft" she said shaking her head.
Confused I looked at Hunter "I'm afraid I don't understand" he said slowly in his English accent.
"Neither do I?" I added confused.
The older witch sat down in my desk chair "How long have you been studying the craft?"
I stared almost blankly at her "Eh? O...I guess about 9 months or so- why?" I asked looked at all the face in the room.
They stared right back "You are young Morgan- maybe to young to hear this"
"I'm not a child" I said angrily "Tell me"
Prof. Lawler sighed "The last person before your grandmother died when this happened to her- your grandmother was the only one in recorded history that survived it, she- well she was a lot different than the other members of Belwicket"
I took a quick lunge of air "What?"
He shook his head "No... not that- she wasn't practicing dark magic- but she didn't exactly follow all laws either- the point is that your grandmother survived" He said pointedly.
I shook my head bewildered "I don't-"
"It does seem to run strongly in your mothers side of the family," he said thoughtfully.
My glance flicked to Hunter then back "What was she?"
"She- was a bit odd as a child. When she was initiated she was very young and when she was the very same thing that happened to night happened then, Maeve though didn't possess the same skill as Mackenna. But you do. It is odd that I have just noticed you look like her," he said watching me closing.
Hunter and I looked at each other "I... look like her?"
He nodded "Yes- I mean you have Ciaran qualities but also hers, that is why you are as powerful as you are- the goddess had left her mark on you like she left her mark on Mackenna" he said nodding.
"The other odd thing is she was pregnant with Maeve when it happened also" he said his gaze flicking to my stomach.
I didn't understand anything.
I had never felt more confused in my life
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AUTHORS NOTE
Yeah I know you're wondering were the hell did that come from? But it will make sense in later chapters (I say that a lot don't I?)
Hmmm...
Well I really like this chapter myself. However weird that it is.
Next chapter: Morgan pays someone a visit and she and Hunter say goodbye.
O and the next chapter will be in Hunters point of view so you get to see how he founders the New Charter. Lets just say he will be having a bit of a difficult time.
Until then... I say goodbye!
