Mystic: Aw! Thank you so much! Don't be scared it'll all work out (in the end anyway) Enjoy the new chapter!

Saz-646: Comforts with a big hug It was bit unexpected wasn't it? Even I hadn't seen it coming till I wrote it. O you gave me an idea with the story, the whole Hunter feeling it thing, and it worked really nicely so I wanted to say thank you! Yeah it's going to be pretty bad for her in this chapter then further on- more bad news. O dear...

Thanks again guys, so I just thought I'd tell you that Morgan is still 17, not for long though, it's about mid- august now and her birthday is in November right, thought what date is it? O do any of you know when Hunter's birthday is? I think it happened in the middle of Spellbound, so that would make it what? December?

Enjoy guys!


Chapter twenty: Loss

The pain in my stomach increased and I doubled over, seeing white light before my eyes.

I was paralysed by the shock of it, the horror of it. The room was utterly still, no movement at all and suddenly I cried out again as the pain became more constant.

Goddess, goddess what is happening to me?

"Morgan" Alyce said from a distance, the sounds around me had dulled, had muted, and I could hear my own heartbeat loud in my ears.

I looked around me, to the shocked faces and started to tremble with tremors of shock.

Everything around me went dark and I could no longer feel the pain inside me. It was as though I was losing part of myself.


The light hurt my eyes as I woke, I stared around me blearily, utterly numb. I couldn't take anything in. But I could tell something wasn't right with me. I could tell something was missing.

Wondering what I was doing here I sat up looked around me. The room was still, stale almost, like something had died or had been rotted through.

My eyes opened wide as I remembered the pain, the shock, the feeling of loss and my eyes felt like whirlpools.

I clutched my stomach and cast my senses. My baby. My son.

Where is he?

I searched and I searched but I found nothing. I couldn't feel his heartbeat, couldn't feel is presence inside of me.

Goddess, what had you done to my baby? I cried, panicked.

Please no, please give him back to me, don't take him away, not my baby, not mine.

My world ripped away and all I could see was grey, all I could hear was my own strangled, frightened sobs.

No, not my baby, not mine. The words swan around in my head and I tried to make sense of it all.

No. No, please don't do this to me. Not me. Not my baby.

Please, I begged then the world went dark around me again.


I never thought that I could feel so much pain, never thought I could miss something I had never even seen, but I did. I felt like I had lost a part of myself. I have often thought about that time in my life, the moment that I lost my first child, my son. Not many knew of him, just Hunter, Alyce, and myself. He became just a loss to Hunter, but for me, he will always be a part of me. Wherever I end up.

-Morgan Niall, High Priestess of Belwicket.


I felt something today; I felt something fade, like some light had been blown out. It's such strange feeling. An unexplained feeling. I will call Morgan later just to put my mind at rest. I know I am being silly, but I can't help but feel something is off, that something horrible has happened to someone I love. Please let everything be ok.

-Giommanach.


3rd person Pov:

"I have never seen such a powerful increase in energy. Where did it come from? This girl is unlike anything I have ever seen, her power is unlike anything I have ever seen." A woman with brown hair, that was shot through with grey, She was heavyset and appeared to be a midwife.

"She shouldn't have gone so deep, she knew the price she would have to pay. And now she has lost her baby" Alyce said holding the sleeping Morgan's hand, caressing it gently. She new this kind of loss herself, and the old witch felt so much sympathy for this girl. This girl who had lost so much

"Does she have family, the father of her baby, where is he?"

"I don't know, he travels a lot, His name is Hunter Niall" she said not looking at the midwife, Morgan's face creased and Alyce felt her heart ache for this girl. She had come to know Morgan as a good friend and now she felt that part of her would be lost forever.

"We will need to find him," the midwife said leaving the room silently.

Alyce didn't look or move as the midwife left, just stared at the girl in front of her, already feeling her loss.


Morgan's Pov:

It was dark when I woke, so dark I felt frightened. I looked around me and tried to let my magesight kick in.

I couldn't think; I was all over the place.

My baby.

I put a hand to my stomach and cast my senses again trying to find something, anything to show me I hadn't lost my baby.

Please, give him back, not my baby, not mine.

I erupted into sobs, unable to hold them back

Goddess, Jesus, someone- help me please.

I cries till I though I had made myself sick, until I had nothing left in my to cry for.


It's Morgan. I got a call from Alyce to tell me that she was in hospital that she had lost our baby. She was healing someone, a daughter, another woman's child, and another woman's problem. Not Morgan's. She saved that life only to take another. I never thought I could have felt this type of pain. I know I have lost my son, but I fear I might lose my soul mate as well. I will never forgive myself for it.

-Giommanach.


"Morgan you have to eat please- you have to" Aycle said desperately to me, but I didn't care, it would fill me and I only wanted my baby inside me.

But he was gone. My baby.

I stared in front of me, knowing I couldn't cope. I needed Hunter. I needed him so badly.

I erupted into sobs and Alyce comforted me as I cried for me, for Hunter, for our baby.

I shook my head and pulled away "Please leave- I cant be here"

"Morgan you need to eat- you need to" she tried again but I turned on my side and curled up.

"Where is he?" I asked the wall and I felt movement behind me, as if she wasn't expecting something that direct from me.

"He's gone Morgan, sweetheart- he's gone"

Hearing the words spoken to me with such certainty broke my heart all over again.

I hugged myself

Hunter I need you, I thought desperately, calling him to me.
