A/n: 50 points to everyone who guessed who the man in the tea shop was! Lol anyways here's the next chapter for you!
Moira's POV
Moira's POV
"Dad! Dad!" I called as soon as I got through the door; Matt followed and closed the door behind me.
"What's wrong? What happened?" My father came rushing to meet me in the hall, I lead them through to the living room and I collapsed onto the couch, "Who's this?" he asked me, referring to Matt.
"This is Matt, my friend, Matt; this is my dad, Hunter Niall"
"Nice to meet you" my dad shook his hand
"Sir, the pleasures all mine, I've heard a lot about you, my parents are fans of yours, and they follow your work and your wife's"
"Thank you," my father replied, but turned his full attention to me,
"Tell me everything Moira, what happened?
"There was this awful man in the tea shop, at first I sensed him strongly before he came in it was weird, but when he came in I caught him staring at me and he came over demanding to tell him your name, I was scared so I only mentioned your first name, then we got the hell out of there"
Just then Arianna came downstairs, except her eyes were brown, not blue; my mother's spirit had taken over within.
"What is going on?" she asked, her voice was ethereal and soft.
"Morgan?" my dad queried
"Who are you?" she asked Matt "are you my daughter's boyfriend?" she demanded
"Uhm, I'm Matt and no we're just friends" he sent me a confused look, "what's going on?"
"This is Arianna, she's sort of a home for my mother's reincarnated spirit… it's a long story"
"I just heard your conversation, the man in the coffee shop, Moira, what did he look like?" my mom/Arianna asked
I told them what he looked like and about his accent and again in more detail what had happened
"Oh Goddess" my father gasped
"Hunter, it can't be, not already"
"You mean that was Ciaran?!" I cried, "Why didn't I realise straight away? I knew he was coming back, I'm so stupid I should have known, and now he knows who I am"
I burst into tears and fell to my knees, Matt knelt beside me and put his arm around me, and I buried my head into his chest and sobbed
"Matt we'll take it from here, I think you'd better go," my dad told him, I lifted my head, "no, I want him to stay"
"Moira, we'll just be putting his life at risk, we can't let him get involved"
"I know," she sighed, "I'm sorry about this Matt, but he's right, we can't involve you"
"I don't care, I know I've not known you long but I want to be here for you"
I hugged him, "You can't," I whispered
"I can, I will, believe me, I'm very stubborn"
"Can we trust you?" my mother said, "we've learned from our mistakes, I've learned from mine…"
I knew what she was thinking, Cal.
"Mother he's not Cal, we can trust him, I may not know him all that well, but I know him enough to know he's on our side,"
"Moira, you think you know someone until you see them for who they really are," my mother said, "we'll be watching you very carefully"
Just then she blinked several times and her eyes had turned blue, it was Arianna again.
"I better cancel tonight's circle and put it off until further notice" My dad headed towards the phone.
"What happened?" Arianna asked
"My mom took over you again, how are you feeling now?"
"Fine, less magickal, just groggier, it'll pass"
"Matt, this is Arianna, Arianna, Matt" they both said hello
"I'll go make us some tea" Arianna left the room sensing we needed to talk
"I guess I owe you an explanation" I said
"Just a tad" he replied, "I asked to help, I need to know what I'm helping out with"
I told him everything even things about mom and Cal, the whole story.
"Wow, I mean… wow, most of the stories about your mother, they're all true, I didn't truly believe them all, especially the story about her shape shifting, but then again some used to say she could fly, I never knew what was true, my father collects any information he can about her, he's obsessed to know the truth, and here I am hearing it all from her daughters mouth"
"What does you're father do again?" I asked
"He's a Museum curator, just been transferred over here because he's got a job at a museum in New York City, he chose to live in Widow's Vale because he knew you're mother was from here so he takes the train to work, he admires what your mom did, her power, her goodness"
"I have I picture of her in my purse… damn, my purse! I left it in the tea shop! It has my money and my driving permit and everything in it!"
"It's okay someone must have handed it in" Matt reassured me
To answer my question the door bell rang, I answered it, there stood a woman who looked about 70 she was frail and weak looking but her face was trying to suggest otherwise. She held out my purse… "This I believe belongs to you" she grinned
"Oh yes thank you, I had only just realised I had left it, thank you so much for returning it!"
She handed me the purse when dad came, "Who is it? I couldn't sense…" he stopped dead and looked white as snow when he saw the woman
"You" he spat, "What are you doing here, in widow's Vale, at my house?"
"Nice to see you again too Hunter, I found your daughters purse in the tea shop, she left it when she hurried out trying to get away from Ciaran, and I came to bring it back to her"
"So you and Ciaran are in the same town at the same time yet you are not in league with him… why don't I believe that?"
"Dad who is it?" I asked
"I thought you were back home, being too lazy to accept your coven, not caring about your powers, nor your children"
"A woman can change her mind, she can even forgive a man too when he is in debt to her"
"You gave Ciaran's powers back didn't you? Why? He didn't care about you, he had affair, not to mention an illegitimate child, why did you bother?"
"I was the only one prepared to give him his powers back, I am ready to be in full power now and because I returned to him his gifts… I will be at his side; he will make me strong again, not this frail old being I've become!"
"Go home Grania!" my father yelled at her
"This was just a house call, I'll be back, and next time Ciaran will be joining me!"
He slammed the door on her
"Grania!" he cried, "I don't believe it!"
"Who's Grania?" I asked
"She's Ciaran's ex-wife… she loathes your mother because she was a love child between him and Maeve, and she's mad at me for stripping Ciaran no doubt! She may not have cared for him that much but he was her only link to having power, probably why she never bothered taking on a coven herself when she had Ciaran to do it for her"
"This is bad isn't it?" I said pointlessly, everyone had already figured as much.
"Nothing we haven't faced before, but I'm worried Arianna's vision will come to pass, she better be ready because he won't leave it till long before he makes his move, and we gotta be prepared, now more than ever."
