"She's what?!" Hunter shouted as Killan explained the activities of the day
to him, Bree, Robbie, Cal, and Liadan. It had taken another ten minutes to
get Morgan to go back home, to rest for the baby's sake.
"I told you, she went power crazy," Killan said once again. "She says she wants the coven and she wants it now."
"It's far too early for her to be having that drastic of mood swings," Bree reasoned. "And what's this about her energy?"
"It's tainted," Killan replied. "Something is infesting her magic, at least. I think her change of personality may be due to that."
Hunter sighed in relief, "Then that's an easy fix. All we have to do is to exterminate the contaminating force."
"You can't," Ciaran's voice drifted through the hallway door, swiftly followed by his figure entering. "To exterminate the force, is to exterminate the source. And I will not have my grandchild slain, not by the hands of Morgan's friends."
"The baby is doing this?" Cal asked, awed.
"It's evil," Hunter pronounced, as if he had known it would be all along.
Cal swiveled his head, "Quick to judge, for someone on the dark side."
Hunter glared, "It's not even born and it is causing mayhem. Maybe we should – "
Ciaran cut him off, "I would watch what I suggest, were I you."
Killan scowled fiercely, "Try it and I will kill you." A surprising statement from Killan, generally a pacifist, but clearly a serious one from the darkness that suddenly overtook his features.
Bree shook her head as well, "You won't get our support either, Hunter. Your vendetta with Cal has to be settled some other way."
"This doesn't have anything to do with him," Hunter replied, but was met with dubious scowls. "Other then the fact that its his blood that is changing that thing into a monster."
"That thing means a great deal to everyone but you, Hunter," Bree warned.
"And I fear it is not only Cal's side of the child that forms it thus," Ciaran explained. "My own heritage, as well as Maeve's kin, who were once terrible warriors of the Woodbane line, also contribute to its nature."
Robbie touched Hunter's shoulder, "If it had been yours, we may have encountered the same issue. What would you have had us done then?"
Hunter sighed, "We'll have to wait it out. Maybe it will settle."
"It hasn't done anything terrible yet," Bree said optimistically. "Other then threaten a few of her close friends, try and seize control of a powerful, evil coven, and isolate her."
"I told you, she went power crazy," Killan said once again. "She says she wants the coven and she wants it now."
"It's far too early for her to be having that drastic of mood swings," Bree reasoned. "And what's this about her energy?"
