A/N: Hello guys thanks for all the reviews from the last chapter- they're really appreciated- keep'im comin!

Booklover03: Yeah they are, I love it when they are. They're really cute together in the books anyway.

Billie Joe: Really your Catholic? I was too- before I started to practice Wicca anyway. Enjoy the new chapter!

JadeMoon: I actually was a little worried that I was being a little too descriptive- thanks for that, I really was worried! 16 is very young to be going to school, yeah but I didn't do TY (that's transitional year or 4th year, it's optional) so it means that I'm a bit young. Your dads side comes from Donegal? O cool, my Gran lives there! You don't have to answer the life in America question if it's too hard- I'm just nosy! Enjoy the new chapter!

Saz-646: I do want to follow the story as Cate wrote it, so... No, but I'm not going to tell you what's going to happen- it'll ruin it for you- but you'll be finding out more about it in this chapter- hopefully. O and I'm feeling fine now thanks, it passed.

Thanks guys for all the support with the story, still can't believe how many reviews I have, it's just amazing for me. I just wanted to say thank you....

Now on with the story!

Chapter eighteen: Feeling that something is missing

It's so hard being away from her, not being able to see her, to touch her. But she is in America now and I don't know how long I can bear to be without her. She feels the same I know she does, but she doesn't show it. She missed me like I miss her. But we will be together, I don't know when but we will.

Someday...

- Giommanach.

Lights streamed in through the windows of the hotel were Hunter was staying and I heard the rain as it crashed against the windows, howling.

Hunter was in the shower- I could hear him moving around and I smiled to myself as I heard him drop something then say "Ouch!" as it hit him.

Slowly, I got up of the bed and wrapped the sheet around me then I made my way over to the bathroom, where steam was rolling out the door like big billows of smoke "Anything you need help with?" I asked a little to innocently and I went into the small, refurbished bathroom and pulled open the shower curtain and Hunter through a sponge at me.

"Do you mind?" he asked in fake annoyance then he smiled at me and I got the hint and I unfolded the sheet from around me and stepped into the cubicle.

Hunter's arms immediately went around me and he held me to him. He was so warm and I snuggled into him wishing I could never let him go.

But I new in the end I would have too. It appeared Hunter was thinking the same- I could feel it in the way he held me.

"Hunter?" I asked questionably and he pulled back slightly staring at me, lovingly it seemed.

He rocked me gently in his embrace and said quietly, so quietly I'm not sure he said it "I will never let you go"

"So... what do you want to do today?" Hunter asked as he tied his shoes leaning back against the bed.

I shrugged my shoulders and laid my head against his shoulder and he smoothed my hair back from my face "What's wrong? Are you ok?"

I nodded blankly, still holding Hunter and he gently disentangled himself from me and got down on the floor looking into my eyes

He caressed my knee in an attempt to comfort me "I know something's wrong- will you tell me?"

I got down on the floor beside him "I don't want to lose you- not ever"

"O Morgan I wont ever leave you" Hunter said nuzzling my nose

"Do you promise?" I asked coming closer to him, and he smiled at me, the small smile that I loved.

"Promise" he repeated.

Hunter said he had at least this weekend with me then he was flying out to Normandy to see his father again. It appeared that Daniel had been to some workshops over there and had met some witches that he thought Hunter should meet.

But again it meant that he and I would be apart again and I couldn't help but wonder for how long.

"Da says that he has known one of them for years- back before he and mum disappeared and he thinks we should meet, he has connections to others that might be able to help us" he said as we walked down the park that over looked the Hudson river, this was the river that Hunter had fallen over and when we had arrived I had thought I had detected a slight shudder from him.

I shivered from the cold and Hunter wrapped his arms around me, rubbing my arms and trying to warm me up. "I heard from Killian yesterday just before you arrived" I said knowing Hunter didn't think much of my irresponsible half brother.

"What?" I said noticing the look on his face and yet knowing what it meant at the same time.

Hunter just shrugged and kissed my cold forehead but I could tell he was brooding.

I laughed at him "It nothing" he said dismissively.

"So hows practical magic going?" he asked steering me over to a coffee shop and flagging down the waitress.

I shrugged "It's ok, it's nice working with Alyce" I said not looking at him but Hunter being Hunter who could pick up in my slightest mood mood, well he picked up on it.

He smiled slightly "Are you happy their Morgan?" he asked reaching over and taking my cold hands in his, he brought them to his lips and kissed them. I watched him and brought my hand up to his lips and tapped them gently smiling.

I started giggling, feeling the effect that he had on me and he grinned at me, a big grin "You are so odd" he said lovingly and shook my head, not understanding.

"Very odd" he repeated "But I love you odd," he said

I laughed again and kicked him under the table giving him a look that he returned "Don't start the again you" he warned and he kicked him and I could see mischief shining in his green eyes.

I looked at him, tracing his profile. His smooth brow with only the faintest hint of freckles and eyebrows that arched (A/N Do you know who I think would be great in playing Hunter if it ever became a movie or something, Hayden Christensen, he was the guy that played Aniken Skywalker in star wars, god he was so hot and he has green eyes in all, O he would be perfect- what do you think? I know that myself when i think of Hunter i always picture him as being something like hayden)

Hunter was beautiful, he was like a Greek statue, all shapes and planes that was cool with it's own beauty "Hmmm... stop that- your giving me ideas "he said softly and I fought the urge to blush.

Hunter rubbed the pad of his thumb along my hand and raised them to his lips again.

Hunter left early this morning; he had gotten a flight at 4 and had left a little before so he wouldn't be late.

It was hard letting him go, I admit it. I wanted to run to him, call out his name and grab him. But I knew that if I did I would never let him go.

I can still smell him on me; can still feel him

Hunter said that he would come back soon, that we would see each other soon and I knew that he meant it. I could see it in the way he looked at me. With love and adoration.

Whenever I am without him I can feel something missing, then when I meet him again, the space is filled, even though I know the happiness, the bliss of being with him cannot last.
