A/n: An apology to my readers: sorry it as been so long since my last update but I lost my internet for a while and it has been nightmarish! Thank god I now have it back so I can continue my story!
Arianna's POV
On Sunday I woke up to find myself in a strange bed, everything that had happened to me the day before came crashing through my head, my head pounded and I still felt the over-magickal sensation I did yesterday, all my senses were in overdrive… it was weird, non of this was my power, yet I had full access to it.
Just then I heard the creak of floorboards as Moira came up the stairs, I could sense her, hear her breathing, hear her heartbeat from all the way over here, I looked over towards the where she was to walk through any moment.
"Morning sleepy head" She chirped as she poked her head round the door,
"Argh!" I cried as I put my hands over my hears, "You're too loud, I'm a bit sensitive"
"Oh sorry" she whispered, with a huge grin on her face, "How are you feeling?"
"Urgh" I groaned, "I must say I've had better days, how long will this last, I mean its cool and everything, but if it lasts forever, I think I'll go insane"
I heard Hunter coming into the room, "It shouldn't last much longer" he chuckled, "You'll wake up tomorrow feeling normal,"
"Good because if I have to go to school feeling like this it'll kill me"
"You'll be fine" he assured me "just try and avoid places with big noises, it seems to have made a bigger impact on you then it did Morgan though, it seems you're more sensitive than she was"
Moira looked at her father "Maybe because they're not her powers and she's a non-witch, it's affected her more"
"Possibly" he agreed, "but then again I wouldn't know, this is unheard of"
"Would I be okay if I just hide in bed all day?"
"Yes that's great because that means I can go run a few errands!" Moira cried
Hunter eyed his daughter "And what errands will these be?" he asked
"The kind I had to cancel yesterday"
He rolled his eyes "Make sure you're back at 6 though, we have a circle tonight.
"I know" she grinned, then she looked over at me, "Will you be okay if I went out, I assume you'll need a rest, we can take you home after the circle"
I nodded "That's fine, I just feel so drained even though I think I may burst from all this magick, it's giving me a head ache"
"We'll leave you in peace then," Hunter said, "If you need anything, I'll be downstairs"
The pair of them left the room and headed downstairs, I could hear their movements and I could hear every word exchanged between them.
"I'm going" Moira said,
"Do you have to? It's dangerous out there, we don't know who's after us we're in danger at the minute, and it's not safe."
"Dad I know, but what can we do about it? I'll be careful I won't go into any open spaces I'll just be with my friend in a public place where nothing bad can happen, I'll be in contact with you at all times"
"Okay, I guess you're right, just please be careful, remember, home at 6, I'll be in constant contact with you"
"Yes I know" she said, I could tell she was rolling her eyes about now, "See you at 6"
I heard the front door close and then soon after that, a car pulled away.
I turned over in the bed and pulled the sheets over my head to muffle everything out as much as I could.
Moira's POV
I got in my car and pulled away and sent a witch message to Matt, 'Meet me in tea shop' I sent 'I'll be there in 10 minutes' I got the reply
I parked up outside the tea shop and chose my favourite booth by the window, I waited for 5 minutes and then I saw Matt coming and I grinned to myself.
He smiled at me through the window and I felt a shiver down my spine, a few seconds later he was inside and taking a seat opposite me.
"Hello there" he said, "thought you had to cancel on me"
"Yeah, me too, sorry about that, I just wanted to see you again"
"It's okay, I'm glad you called me, I wanted to see you again too" we both grinned at each other for a while, lost in each other's eyes when we were interrupted by a waitress
"Would you like to order anything?" she asked
"Yes please, could I have a toasted cinnamon bagel and a cup of chamomile tea?" I replied
"Sounds good, I'll have the same" Matt smiled, the waitress nodded as she made a note of our order and turned and left.
"So are you ready for starting school tomorrow?" I asked
"Even more so I know someone there now, I was so nervous, you know, meeting new people and hoping to make friends, fitting in, you know the usual worries"
"You'll be fine; I bet you were pretty popular in you're old school"
"Not really, I kind of kept to myself, everyone knew about me, I was labelled a witch since my first day, there was only one other witch like myself, and it was just us two throughout school, everyone avoided us,"
"That must have been hard, there's not many blood witches in Widow's Vale High either, just me and my cousin Kali, but there are some non-witches who practise Wicca in our coven, they are children of original members of Kithic which my parents started when they were teenagers"
"Your tea and your bagels" said the waitress as she came andtook two cups and two plates of her tray and placed themon the table
We sat in silence as we begun to eat, when suddenly I felt something, I looked around, I couldn't tell what it was but there was something nearby that alerted me but at the same time appealed to me.
"What's the matter?" Matt asked noticing my confused expression,
"I don't know, it doesn't matter," I tried to shrug the feeling away but it kept tugging at me
The bell above the door jingled as a man came in, he strode over to the counter and ordered a cup of tea, and took a seat in a booth over by the far wall, he looked as if he were in his late 60's to mid 70's it was impossible to tell, but it looked like he had just been rejuvenated from 10 years lack of sleep. And he was grinning to himself. I cast my senses, he was a blood witch, he was ina weakened statebut he had a lot of power.
I tore my gaze away to look at Matt, "You know him?" he asked concerned, "No, at least I don't think so"
I looked back at him and he was looking straight at me. I jumped.
"Excuse me miss, do I know you?" he asked coming over to my table
"I'm sorry, I don't believe I've ever met you sir," I replied, without knowing why I felt a connection to him and a great deal of respect and fear.
I felt Matt's leg brush up against mine as a sign he was here for me, suddenly I heard my dad's voice in my head
'Moira, are you okay?'
'Fine dad' I sent back
'Who did you send a message to?' he asked
My eyes widened, how did he know? "My dad" I told him, "he wanted to know if I was alright"
"Tell me what is his name?" he asked
"Come on Moira," Matt said quickly, my hero "We've got a movie to catch,"
I took my purse and pulled out my wallet and gave Matt some money, "Here's my half" he wouldn't take the cash, "I'll get it," he said
"Answer me!" the man ordered
"Hunter!" I cried out in fear, "my father's name is Hunter, now would you leave me alone?"
"Hunter Niall?" he persisted, he looked into my eyes and grinned "yes it is, you have his eyes, but you are Morgan's child" how did this man know so much about me
"I've got to go," I said getting up from the booth, Matt and I got into my car and drove away.
