A/N ah so you all don't know whether it was Kai or not, well you may find out in this chapter, or you may not mwa haha! Be prepared for a big ending coming soon!


Morgan couldn't believe what she had seen. Kai, who had been so nice, he was practising dark magick? No it couldn't be. She found the athame and checked it for spells; sure enough there was a very disguised spell woven on it. Something that most witches would pass but not Morgan. She gasped as she saw the old sigils that Selene and ciaran and even cal had used. These could only be used for evil, there was no doubt now.

"Hunter, it was Kai!" she said running up, and producing the athame. Hunter studied it, and nodded.

"I think I can reverse it, it might take a while, I'll be as quick as I can."

That night at midnight Keaira finally woke up.

"Mum, what happened?"

"There was a spell. It made you ill," Morgan said, not looking at Keaira

"What's wrong, who was it?"

"It was… it was placed on your athame," Keaira shook her head,

"No you're wrong, it wasn't Kai, it couldn't have been."

"That's the only explanation." Keaira broke down into sobs and Morgan left her to be by herself. After a while Keaira sent a witch message to Kai, meet me at the old oak tree she got up, and snuck out the window. At the tree Kai was already waiting.

"Are you ok?" he said jumping up, "what's wrong?"

"I've been ill, I was… my mum thought I was going to die!"

"Oh, goddess, but how are you ok now? I'm so glad!"

"Are you?" Kai frowned

"Of course I am, why wouldn't…"

"Shut up," she interrupted him "I know it was you who put that spell on me!"

"What are you talking about? What spell?"

"The spell that made me ill."

"I don't know anything about this spell!"

"Then why was it on the athame, that YOU gave me!" Kai's eyes widened,

"I didn't. It wasn't me, Keaira I swear I don't know how that could have, I… I don't understand," Keaira looked at him and her heart softened, then she remembered being ill,

"I almost believed you! Why me, why couldn't you have picked someone else, you knew what I'd been through and yet you still do this. When am I gonna learn who to trust, I hate you for this." Kai seemed calm,

"Your angry I know, and I promise you I will find out who did this, but I didn't do this, please believe me," he said and kissed her gently then walked off. Keaira walked home in tears.

The next day Morgan came up to talk.

"Keaira we have to talk," Keaira noticed she was carrying some of her old Book of Shadow's, ones Keaira hadn't seen before. "I know you won't believe me, but I know what you're going through,"

"How could you?" then Keaira remembered her vision, "wait, cal, who was he?"

"How did you find out about him?"

"I scried, I saw him and dad having a fight, you… threw an athame at dad," Morgan winced, "its true?"

"Yes, that happened. Look you know I told you about cal and Selene, that they tried to kill me? Well, cal was my first boyfriend too. He showed me Wicca and he made me think better of myself." Keaira nodded, trying to process this, "after he tried to kill me, I realised that he had me spelled, but I still loved him, and then I grew loser to your dad. Even now I still love him, you never forget your first love."

"But he tried to kill you!"

"To save me, he believed, he thought it was better to kill me than let my powers be stripped, and later, he gave his life to save me from Selene."

"I don't understand" Keaira said, "what are you saying, that I should still love Kai,"

"I'm saying its ok if you do. And Dylan too. We lose people but, they're always with us, in our memories." Keaira nodded,

"I need to think, on my own if that's ok?" Morgan nodded and went out.

What do I do? Who do I trust? Is Kai like cal? Is he trying to save me? Or is he evil? What about Dylan? Do I still love him? Yes, Keaira thought. I've never stopped loving him, maybe he was my muirn beatha dan and now I've lost him. Forever?

"Keaira," a familiar voice said, I felt the breeze on the meadow almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.

"Dylan." I ran to him and he enveloped in his hug. "I'm sorry" I whispered

"So am I. So sorry" we sat there for what seemed like forever but could have only been about 5 minutes, I wanted to stay, safe in his arms forever. but he pulled away.

"I didn't mean it you know? You didn't kill me, and I didn't tell Sarah that."

"I know, well I didn't but I hoped you didn't." he smiled.

"It wasn't Kai," he said, after a while, and he only whispered it.

"What? How do you know?"

"I know who did it, but listen Keaira, you don't know how much I don't want to say this,"

"Why?"

"I guess, I guess I'm jealous, he can have you and I can't I… he does love you, truly."

"How do you know? He tried to kill me"

"No, he didn't. It was Sorano." Keaira looked quizzically, "Sarah's mum, and Sarah helped." He looked sad as he said this,

"Sarah? But why?"

"Sarah, because she really thinks it was your fault I died, which isn't true, and because her mum has been feeding her poison. I never liked her mum. But well now I hate her,"

"Why does her mum want to kill me?" Keaira felt close to tears, she didn't even know this woman yet she wanted her dead.

"Braeden, Sorano loved him, but he loved your mother. You're proof of that. He took her into amyrnth but would never be with her, even when Brenna ran away."

"Oh goddess, its his fault again, all this is his fault." She stood quickly, "Kai, it wasn't him and I said it was. Oh goddess, I have to talk to him."

"I know, please, be happy, I love you."

"I love you too. I'm not going to see you again am I?"

"No, I don't think so, I've stuck around long enough, you don't need me anymore."

"Dylan, I do!" Keaira felt like crying again

"No, you don't but I'll always love you, and please keep a place in your heart for me."

"Of course, I'll never forget you!" she said as the meadow faded,

"I love you." She wasn't sure which of them had said it.


A/N hey I thought that was a sweet chapter, hope you don't all still hate Dylan, he didn't need to be hated. I'm sorry I kept switching POV's but I just wrote as it came, to find out what happens next (will Kai forgive her?) review!
