As she had told Bree, Morgan headed home right after their conversation.
Thoughts of Ciaran, Hunter, Killan and Cal came unbidden as she traveled
the sparsely populated streets on her drive home. Killan hadn't been at
her house the night before, though Ciaran had said he would continue to
stay there. Morgan figured Killan had gone home with someone, hopefully
not anyone she knew, so she decided not to worry for another night.
She thought about Cal, and she remembered her memories of distrust, but couldn't figure out why. True, he had bound her powers twice, but she couldn't blame him. Also true, he tried to burn her. But he did have the best intention at heart. Then he had saved her life from his own mother ever after she refused to help him fight her. Now he had come back and only wanted another chance. Who was she to deny him?
Hunter was another story. Yes, he was undeniably on the 'good' side. Yes, he was teaching her about Wicca. But he also tried to control her powers while Ciaran and Cal encouraged her to explore them. Every time she tried something new, it was like she had done something wrong in Hunter's eyes. Not to mention the fact that he showed possessive issues when he had come to her house. He actually tried to tell her what she was thinking.
And Ciaran, Ciaran was fatherly. Unlike her adoptive father, Ciaran was open to her Wiccan side and wanted to nurture the part of her that she felt was just as important as any other aspect of herself. Where Sean Rowlands wanted to subdue her, Ciaran was willing to guide her. There was a deep connection she felt to him that she couldn't find with her stand-in father, though it hurt her to think it. There was also the added bonus that Ciaran was a terribly powerful with who she could learn all that she needed from to defend herself and to appreciate their craft. Maybe he was a little shady, but wasn't everyone, really?
When she got home, she found Killan on the couch being carefully guarded by her parents. Despite the suspicion as they viewed him, Killan seemed quite at home and relaxed.
"Hey, what's going on?" Morgan asked as she walked into the room.
Her parents looked to her quickly and her mother said, "This boy says that he is here to see you. What happened to Hunter?"
"Well, uh, Hunter and I broke up, but Killan and me aren't like that," Morgan said as she tried to remember if she had ever mentioned the family she found she had. Killan laughed, "I should hope not."
Looking confused at Killan's remark, her father asked, "I'm sorry, did I miss something?"
"Uh, Mom, Dad, this is Killan, my brother," Morgan said haltingly.
By the looks on their faces and the crash from the kitchen where she assumed Mary K was listening, Morgan figured that she had not found a point to mention her brother to them.
