"Hunter's going to be hunted by his father?!" Morgan shrieked, as she
entered into the room, having obviously been listening to the entire
conversation. Closely followed by Cal, who smirking, said, "So the Hunter
becomes the hunted."
Hunter scowled at Cal, "Oh, very witty."
Cal smiled in return, "Thank you. I thought so, too."
"Stop it," Morgan said quietly. "Both of you. There are more important things right now."
"You're that worried?" Cal asked.
"I've met his father, before," Morgan replied, shaking. "He may be very difficult to deal with."
Hunter suddenly appeared angry, "We are not going to 'deal' with my father."
"What do you think I meant by that?" Morgan asked him tightly.
"We are not going to kill him," Hunter responded firmly.
"I wasn't even suggesting that, though it's nice to know that you think I am really that heartless," Morgan said, snidely.
"Aren't you both being a bit touching?" Liadan interrupted.
Cal shook his head, "Let them at it. Isn't this what you wanted? For them to speak to each other?"
"I wasn't wanting it to be like this," Liadan replied angrily. "And you know that."
"Seems like I don't know anything about you anymore," Cal replied with blunt honesty.
"Is it my fault it turned out that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?" Hunter snipped.
"Oh, so now you follow your father's opinion of my relationship with Ciaran? He'll be thrilled as he stabs an athame through your heart," Morgan sneered.
"At least he can aim," Hunter scoffed.
"You would know more if you pay less attention to Morgan all the time!" Liadan shrieked.
"You didn't consider the fact that it doesn't have anything to do with her," Cal smirked. "I just don't want to know anything about you, it's not worth my time."
"You ABSOLUTE BASTARD!" Liadan screamed, drawing Hunter and Morgan's attention from their own squabble.
"You only say that because the truth hurts," Cal replied, shrugging.
"Morgan will never love you, Cal," Liadan narrowed her eyes, "because she has already seen what a terrible person you really are. Something I couldn't face until just now."
Liadan left the room, and Cal turned to find Hunter and Morgan looking at him with dropped jaws. He shrugged, smiled, and characteristically said, "She'll get over it."
But the fear in Hunter's eyes clearly showed he didn't believe it, and now it could be more dangerous to leave Morgan here alone. His options were becoming limited.
