Sax-646: My other loyal reviewer- hi! Glad you like the timeline thing- thanks for the support!
Enjoy the new chapter!
Chapter 13: Hazard of the biz.
"You see I told you, you had nothing to worry about" Mary. K said cheerfully on the other end of the line.
I laughed, "So how's Mom and Dad?" I asked tentively, they rang almost twice everyday, but it had always been kind of tilted, distant, like they didn't know what to say or how to say it.
I knew they hadn't been exactly thrilled when I had told them about Scotland but it was something I couldn't miss out on- and I had learned so much.
Plus there was the fact that Hunter was in England and it was so much easier for me to see him. But now with the baby and Hunter staying in England I don't know what I will do.
I wanted to be close to him.... But I didn't see how that could happen. "So... any new news?" Mary. K asked
O- where to start
We hadn't really talked about the baby and no one but myself and Hunter new about him.
I didn't want to talk about it to my parents and Mary. K -I didn't feel ready yet.
"We will do what's best for the baby- whatever that might be," Hunter had said to me last night.
I just wished I could believe him.
Then there was the whole matter of what Prof. Lawler had said, the fact that myself and Mackenna seem so similar.
I had never seen a picture of my grandmother so I really could agree or disagree.
But at this point I don't think anything would surprise me.
"Listen Mary. K I'll talk to you later ok? Give Mom and Dad my love," I said when I heard Karalee come out of the bathroom, towel drying her hair.
"Yeah sure- see you soon Morgan" she said and I hung up.
"Did you see Colm today?" I asked her putting the phone back in its cradle on my bedside table.
She shook her head "No- sorry- he has no classes today" she said glancing in the mirror.
I sighed- I really had to talk to him about where Katrina and Powel had gone, I wanted to talk to them about what I could do about their proposal- about rebuilding Belwicket.
I couldn't really do much at the moment- what will my being only in my junior year but perhaps after that.... Maybe I could do it then.
I looked around the room almost bored "I think I'll go for a walk," I announced to Karalee and she turned to look at me.
"Ok- but I'm going over to see Colm so- I'll be back- say 6?" she said moving her clothes around on the bed looking for something.
I nodded then got up of the bed unsteadily then I was hit with a rush of dizziness and dashed for the bathroom near the door of my dorm.
As I threw up everything I had in me to throw up I heard Karalee come in behind me and lay a hand on my shoulder "Morning sickness?" she asked softly and I nodded unable to say anything.
I put my hands over my face and moaned "O god"
Karalee rubbed my back absently while I sat there to exhausted to move.
"Are you alright?" She asked after a moment and I nodded.
"Yeah" I said croakily and I stood up uncertainly and clawed my way over to the sink to brush my teeth.
I looked in the mirror- I looked at state.
"Hazard of the Biz" Karalee said staring at my reflection in the mirror also.
She doesn't know how right she is.
"If they know anything there not saying but they'll tell us eventually" Hunter said, after I had thrown up I had felt really depressed so I had called Hunter but I hadn't been able to say much.
Hunter was talking about some old council members he had met that like him had quit the council- he was trying to convince them that the only way to remove the council from their power is to remove their influence.
Hunter and his dad had come up with a spell that would merely refrain a wayward witch from causing another harm, well- if you had choice of getting you power stripped or simply restrained, which would you chose?
Also a number of people have grown increasingly uncomfortable and wary of the council's power and secrecy, they had been doing things that made the general witching community upset and alert.
They had sent witches to Maenad Berg, the witches prison that I had learned was in operation- it is where they had kept my ancestor Rose when she had committed the act of drawing the dark wave.
But even then they had been sneaky, sly and unconvincing.
Everyone now had doubts of their power, their rule and dominion over the other witches.
Right now Hunter was talking to other ex- council members that had resigned because of some of the same reason that Hunter did "You'll get the information eventually"
Hunter had been trying to find other's that had left the council for the same or similar reasons, Hunter disliked the council all right, wished they could be knocked of their pedestal- but he couldn't do it alone.
The sky was a cold, murky grey, as I looked overhead; I knew it was going to rain soon.
I looked down at the path; I had thought I had found out who I was, Ciaran and Maeve daughter, princess of Belwicket –and the last surviving member until recently.
I just didn't know anymore- I mean what had my heritage got to do with Mackenna? She was dead- it wasn't like she could help me understand, I thought glumly.
I needed some answers- someone who knew me better than almost anyone.
The first person that came to mind was Hunter, but I didn't think he could help me.
Then it came to me.
Ciaran.
Authors note
Hey people- more Hunter moments in the next chapter- I just couldn't find anywhere to put them in this one.
Anyway I have a poll for you!
Q What do you think Morgan should do after she leaves Scotland to go back to England?
(1)Travel with Hunter helping him to start up the New Charter? (After she finishes high school of course, and you will have to tell me what the hell you do at a prom and such because I haven't a clue- so all Americans please step up!)
(B) Go work in some kind of job, Example: Erm... in a new Charter building, practical magic, or maybe in a library (witch style- I don't know just give us an idea of the kind of job that would suit Morgan)
(C) Travel where she meets someone who helps her with her magical ability's (I think I like that one)
(D) And lastly maybe some sort of undercover job for the New Charter with Hunter? (But they aren't meant to see each other alot... Hmmm)
If you have any other ideas please review and tell me, I have got the next 3 chapter's planned out but after that I'm at kind of a loss...
Please review!
To my reviewers!
