A/n: That was just a needed mushy chap for my story to carry on with, anyways next chapter... here goes a long but good chapter!
Morgan sat up in bed the next morning to find Hunter not there again. She sighed heavily, it was Beltane, a good day for her, the day of her initiation.
She decided to send him a witch message, Hunter where are you? It's Beltane I'm making my Initiation this evening, will you even be here for it?
Yes, a simple answer, but thats all she got, it wasn't even very friendly, but she was positive that it was Hunter, she shrugged and headed downstairs, the phone rang, Alyce, Morgan thought, she picked up the phone.
"Good Morning, Alyce" she said
"Hello Morgan, how are you" Morgan smiled, it was nice to hear a friendly voice
"I'm very well, thank you" Morgan replied
"I've brought in a very dear friend of mine over from England she'll be testing you for your initiation this evening, she'shigh priestess of the Fern Lilly coven in Cornwall, she's just arrived."
"That's brilliant, thank you Alyce"
"Oh and Morgan, another quick thing while I've got you on the phone, is...err...Hunter alright, he stopped by this morning and he seemed a bit, different, abrupt perhaps, not at all like himself."
"You've seen Hunter?"
"Yes, you haven't?"
"No, not since the night before last. I heard from him this morning and he said he'll be here tonight for the initiation but thats all he said"
"Strange" Alyce said, "Anyway, I'll be round later to help you prepare, I'll come to yours for about 5? Is that okay?"
"Thats fine"
"Oh I'm so sorry Morgan I have to hang up, my delivery has just come in I need to check my stock"
"Okay, thanks again Alyce, goodbye"
"Goodbye dear."
Click.
Morgan put the handset back down on the reciever, Hunter what are you upto? Morgan wondered
5 came around and as promised, so did Alyce, alongwith the high priestess Poppy Summers. But Hunter didn't stop by or even call or message her.
"It's okay" Alyce said reading her concerns, "He'll be fine, he'll be here"
Morgan nodded, "Now what do I have to do?"
"Poppy is upstairs drawing you up a bath which you need to soak in for half an hour, wash your hair and clean all make up off and nail varnish if your wearing any, basically my dear its the cleansing ritual you had to go through when we had the brac," Morgan winced, she knew they would give her a potion that would... cause her to empty her stomach, and its not pleasant either.
Hours passed and Morgan was ready, but Hunter still hadn't arrived, "Where is he?" Morgan felt like crying, "He'll show, come on we have to go to the cliffs edge now, it's time" Poppy said softly
On the cliffs edge Morgan stood inside the circle going through her knowledge, her power, surrounded by Alyce and the rest of her coven, but no Hunter, but she couldn't let it upset her. As the ceremony went on she felt more and more powerful as if her full powers were coming to her bit by bit. For the last part of it, Poppy held a knife to her eye and told her to step forward, recalling that nearly all initiated witches have full use of both eyes she did and the knife vanished.
"Morgan, by the powers of the Goddess, invoked through me, I release your limitations and provide for you your full powers, Blessed Be."
Morgan felt stronger but at the same time she felt so weak, her coven cheered for her, Morgan felt more and more dizzy as she fell to the ground.
Alyce rushed over to her, "Morgan you need to eat something, you're going on an empty stomach, and you've just recieved all your powers considering how powerful you are it might have been too much for you"
Morgan shook her head "no, it's not that"
"She's heart broken" Poppy said, "Heart broken because Hunter broke his promise and isn't here for her, that among other things"
"Other things?" Alyce asked, Ignoring her question Poppy helped Morgan home, "Let's take you home, thank you very much for coming everyone, Morgan will see you all soon but she exhausted so we must go"
When the arrived back at Morgan's house Alyce and Poppy helped Morgan into her bed, "Alyce it will be a good idea for you to go home, I'll stay with Morgan tonight and keep her company until Hunter returns"
Alyce nodded, "Thats very kind of you, but I can do it if you wish"
"No Alyce thats okay I don't mind, thank you"
Alyce left Poppy alone with Morgan, who was now sobbing so much, "Oh darling, wipe you tears," she said holding out a kleenex for her, "You need to stay strong right now, for your baby" she said
Morgan looked up at her "What?" "Oh Goddess you didn't know?" Poppy said looking shocked, "Witches usually know when they're about to become a mother, but I guess with all the distress you been through recently you may have not felt her, growing inside you."
Morgan placed her hand on her stomach and suddenly she felt her, "I realised it when we were connection during your initiation" she told Morgan. "I'm pregant?" Morgan said in a near whisper, Poppy nodded, "Yes, now darling get some sleep, you'll need it," "I need Hunter" she sobbed, "I know and he'll be home soon, but you need to rest. I'll be downstairs if you need me, just shout"
The second Poppy went into the Kitchen, Hunter materialised in front of her. His hair was a mess and his shirt buttons were messed up.
"Break it to her gently Hunter, she's in a delicate position right now"
Hunter looked guilty, but a look of anger crossed his face, "Who are you to judge me?"
"I'm not judging anyone Hunter but that look on your face just then says everything, she's hurt enough tonight Hunter don't hurt her anymore, I suggest you leave"
Just before he could answer Morgan came in, "Hunter?" she said softly, Hunter's eyes filled with guilt, "What happened to you? why didn't you come tonight, it was important to me, to us,"
"Because he was being disloyal to you Morgan." Poppy said, "Now Hunter get out before I force you to leave"
"Hunter what is she talking about?" Hunter asked, "Soyara and I..." Morgan stopped him there she knew what he was about to say, "I know what you and Soraya..." she trailed off, Hunter went to touch Morgan's face with his palm, but Morgan jerked away.
"Leave us" she said "Morgan please," Hunter continued, "I need to explain something to you" "No, I don't want to here it" Morgan said more forcefully, "Morgan..." "LEAVE!" she screamed.
Hunter materialised out and Morgan sobbed and sunk to her knees, "I'm sorry we had to do that tonight," Poppy said bending down to Hold Morgan, "I'm so, so, sorry Morgan"
