A/N: Hey guys! Sorry the update as taken a wee while but I hope that this
chapter makes up for it,
Wednesday 18: Yeah I noticed that she wasn't mentioned a lot in the books and I wanted to get her in this story. Thanks for what you said and enjoy the new chapter!
Coolies: Hey No.1 fan! I actually meant to have the goddess whisper her true name in the last chapter but I forgot
Bows head in shame
Yeah this is the plot- it's just like a side plot about Morgan's power and were it came from- like why she is as powerful as she is an all you know? What happened was that when she had her initiation the goddess marked her like she had marked Mackenna and it shows Morgan blood ties with her family- and in particular Mackenna. I know it probably wouldn't happen if Cate Tiernan had wrote it but I really thought that she should have a bigger part in Morgan's heritage and such.
I mean we really never find out why Morgan is all the powerful do we? Yeah she's Ciarans daughter and all and Maeve's to I guess but I thought maybe it would be nice to find out a little more about her heritage. And there will be a little about Ciaran in this chapter- it should be interesting.
What's her true name- I'll tell you in this chapter- don't want to give it away!
Yeah dear old Huntie is going to say good-bye in this chapter- but not for long. He'll be back!
This chapter will be in Hunter's point of view.
Wow... that was a hell of a lot of questions!
Well I don't mind!
Thanks again and – review!
Jade Moon : It was a little creepy wasn't it? Hehehe! I like freaky people out! Thanks again and review!
Saz-646: Weird but cool... I like that. Yeah it was a little weird I know- kinda my thing really...
Hmmm yes.... Well it's great you still keep reviewing my hideous story! Thanks a mill!
And... thank you to all my glorified reviewers!
Enjoy!
Chapter 12: Do what's right.
Hunter's POV
"It wont be for long... I promise," I told my girlfriend Morgan Rowlands, rocking her gently back and forth in my arms, holding her close.
She looked up at me and something unreadable flickered in her eyes "I wish we had more time to be together" she said quietly and her hands tightened around my back.
Don't I know it- I stroked her hair behind her ear "We'll be together again soon"
"Promise?" she asked.
"Promise-for always"
I wonder weather it was true though, I mean who knows what could happen?
I flew back to Edinburgh and as soon as I got of there, cold wind and sleet rushed out to meet me.
I grinned- I was home.
Its funny really, I had been gone just over 9 months and since Morgan was in Scotland I had been up in London with Da. We had gone to a couple of interesting workshops and I had been surprised when da recommended that I see an old friend of his called Ethan Rein. He was Austrian- so I had heard.
Well it would make for an interesting conversation, I reasoned.
Trouble was I couldn't speak a word of Austrian- that I think would be the interesting part.
Well at least da will be with me to translate- it had come as a bit of a shock when he had told me he could speak Austrian – Who new?
Then of course there was the rest of the council to contend with; I had been to some meetings with them and all they wanted to point across was that I was to keep my mouth shut- ironic really.
They didn't like change- hated it in fact. They would always stick to what had been written down so many years ago.
But times have changed and frankly the hold methods leave very little to be desired- they believe the only way to stop people from misusing their magic is to rip it away from them.
It would be better if only they could see reason, talk to these people- ask why they worked black magic in the first place
What they are doing makes me wonder what else they could be up to.
I mean all the council elders have been at odds with each other, going over each other's head and cutting them out. They dictate what is right and wrong.
But it really isn't their place- not really.
I sighed; it was going to be a long time before things could change- if they ever could.
But I had to try- it was all I could do.
I had agreed to meet Ethan Rein at a local pub down in Edinburgh and when I got there the place was packed.
Suddenly a man caught my eye and he smiled tentively making his way over to me.
He held out his hand as he reached me and I shook it.
"It's good to finally meet you- your da' talked of nothing else" he shouted over the commotion.
As surprised as I was to learn that da talked about me at all I followed him over to a table near the back and he gestured to the seat opposite him "Sit down lad" he said in an old weedy voice.
I guessed his age to be mid forties- around the same age as da.
I sat down in the chair I took my cap of my head and ran a hand through my hair "You remind me of Fiona" he said and my head jerked up at the sound of her name.
"What?" I asked a sharp edge to my voice.
Why did he have to mention mum? Hearing da talk about her was hard- but his complete stranger was talking about my mum.
The mother I had lost.
"Relax Lad- no offence meant-" My hands twitched and I felt my jaw tighten.
He smiled at me and he almost looked familiar- for a second anyway "Well lad you want a drink?"
I shook my head- best to stay sober "No thanks you have one though"
He nodded "Your father tells me that you quit that council recently- how do you feel about that?" he asked his eyes suddenly coming to life with a wiry, capable sharpness.
How to put this? They never bothered to tell me they knew where my Mother and father where when they bloody well knew all along? How they let Ciaran Mavewan go? How in the name of the goddess they managed that was a mystery...
Nearly killing Morgan, me wasting 2 years of my life trying to get the approval of people whose opinion in the end didn't matter at all.
They had betrayed me and worst of all-used me.
Justine was right... I was just the pawn- able to be moved about and given orders. They had never thought me an equal- never of equal value or importance.
"I don't know really.... Relived?" I said shrugging my shoulders.
His eyes traced my profile "yes" he said slowly.
"Yes they have been rather disappointing lately- haven't got a clue what they are doing.... You realise that if things continue for much longer we will have a huge problem"
I nodded- war.
"I quit the council almost 5 years ago- they weren't happy- they will no doubt send someone for you- you were a seeker, yes?" he asked taking a sip of his pint.
I nodded "yes- I'm nineteen now- 2 years of my life bloody wasted" I said scathingly.
He smirked "What is it you want to do Hunter?"
I looked up at him "Do what's right"
AUTHOR'S NOTE
