Strangely no reaction came from his presence. Hmm, so the spell must have
worked on him too. Figures.
When he saw he approaching, Hunter closed off his emotions but not before Morgan was swamped with feelings of lust, betrayal and pain. This is going to be fun, I can tell already.
"Where were you?" Hunter asked neutrally.
Seeing no reason to lie, "With Cal."
Hunter's expression darkened, "So you have gone back to him? Was I some kind of stand in?"
"No, Hunter. I'm not with you, but I'm not with Cal either," Morgan said.
"There's something different about you. It's like you don't even know me," Hunter said quietly.
"That could be the spell," Morgan replied.
"What spell?" Hunter asked suspiciously.
"It's just so I look at Cal separate from his past deeds. I guess it kind of extended to you too," Morgan explained.
"What?!" Hunter looked shocked. "How could you let him do that?"
Morgan shrugged. To go further into this issue would reveal Ciaran's involvement. Filial loyalty prevented her from giving him up, especially to a seeker.
"Morgan, I love you. You have to remember me," Hunter pleaded.
"I remember you fine, I just feel nothing," Morgan explained.
"Why didn't you explain this to me when you broke up with me. That hurt, I mean, how many times are we going to go through that?" Hunter asked, sadly.
"Because that wasn't me. Killan was filling in for me, but I had made him promise not to pursue romantic interests so he did what I asked. I told you he was trustworthy," Morgan replied.
"What does Killan have to do with all this?" Hunter asked, narrowing his eyes.
"You know him, he just gets caught up in everyone else's plans. He did do as I asked," Morgan said flippantly. It seemed that her emotional detachment gave her the distance she needed to lie successfully.
After watching her closely for a moment, he seemed to disregard his doubts, "So, where does this leave us?"
"Well, since we're already broken up I think we're in an okay situation," Morgan shrugged.
"You can't mean that!" Hunter said angrily.
"Well, as I recall our relationship has never been that smooth. I think you should find some English witch who has more in common with you," Morgan said neutrally.
"But I'm in love with you!" Hunter protested.
"It passes," Morgan said nonchalantly.
"You can't be serious! And when I'm off with this English witch, who do you see yourself with? Cal? Or would you prefer to continue your façade of being normal and date a highschooler?" Hunter responded bitterly.
"It's just not going to work," Morgan replied. "Maybe Cal and I will work out. We seem really compatible, but it's not like that with us. I remember thinking once it was like sparks and gunpowder. We just don't mix and it was foolish to have tried."
"You don't have a choice who you fall in love with," Hunter retorted.
"Well, it seems like I do," Morgan said quietly. "So stop coming around."
Hunter looked like she had slapped him but quickly recovered his neutral expression, "Feelings aside, you need to be trained."
"There are other people capable of that," Morgan replied.
"You know what, this is a good idea. I need to be returning to England. Maybe an English witch is what I need," Hunter said.
"Okay," Morgan replied. "Have fun."
She turned to go into the house and barely caught Hunter's final remark, no louder than a whisper, "I'm not giving up."
