A/n: Aah! I knew Hunter wasn't really a rat... okay but is Morgan ready to help him after his betrayal. And what about Soraya? Is she evil? Well carry on reading and reviewing and you'll find out won't you! Enjoy! r&r!
"Go away Hunter! She doesn't want to see you!" Morgan woke up after a nap on the couch to hear Bree shouting, "She's asleep, go away," "She's not now!" Hunter said after he sensed her waking up, "No and who's fault is that?" "I'm sorry Bree, but I have to talk to her it's really important." "Do you want me to slap you again?"
Morgan stood at the doorway between the hall and the living room and watched the squabble between Bree and Hunter, she placed her hand over her bump in a nervous gesture.
"Look I see her, Morgan!" he yelled, Morgan turned to leave his sight, "See she doesn't want to talk to you" Bree said, "You've got all your manly brutness out your system, youcan leave now"
"No you don't understand, Morgan! Morgan, please... you've got to listen to me! It's a spell, Soraya, she cast a spell on me, I need your help..." Bree looked blankly at him and Morgan appeared back at the doorway.
"Are you lying to me" Morgan tiredly demanded "No" he said, "I swear, on our unborn daughters life", Morgan wanted to cry for the millonth time that day "Let him in Bree,"
"Are you sure?" Bree asked, Morgan nodded, "I'll be in the kitchen" Hunter put his hand on Morgan's back, they went into the living room and sat on the couch.
"How are you?" he asked, "Hunter I'm tired, please just tell me what's going on"
"You won't believe me but, I saw Cal" Morgan's face dropped, "Cal?" Hunter nodded, "His ghost came to me, we had a chat and he said that we belong together" Morgan rolled her eyes, "Cal's ghost said that... you're right I don't believe you""It's true, I know it sounds crazy... I mean seeing Cal..." "Seeing Cal isn't whats crazy, it's him supporting the idea of me and you, he wanted me and he hated you"
"Fine, don't believe me then, but believe this, he showed me something, something which made me realise Soraya had spelled me, or technically herself."
Morgan nodded, "Which was?" "I found a letter from Soraya's dad, he wrote down a few spells for her, A spell for attracting the object of your desire and a spell to brake the bond of lovers, she tried to pull me from you Morgan, and it worked, even now I feel the spells hold on me, I still think I'm in love with her, but my heart... all this time has been aching, crying out for you. You need to help me Morgan. Soraya isn't a bad person, I'm not defending her, she just took the wrong path to get something she couldn't have"
"Damn right youshouldn't bedefending her, she is a bad person, she broke the wiccan law, she tore apart lovers and cast a love spell, she went down the wrong path, andit was her own choice."
Hunter didn't speak, he placed his hand on her stomach, "I can't believe there's life growing in there, a child, our child" Morgan watched him, "I knew you wouldn't hurt me purposely," she said, "But things can never go back, notto the way we were"
Hunter looked hurt, "Why?" "Because things happened, Hunter, it won't be the same, spell or no spell, it will always be there between us, you hurt me and you slept with her." "But not willingly" Hunter said, "I know, but you still did, it will always be with me, and I will always wonder whether some part of you wanted it" "But I didn't" Hunter pleaded, "Thats taking your word for it, Hunter, it's going to be hard to trust you again"
Hunter stood, "I'll go, as long as you know the truth, I'll speak to Soraya," Morgan shook her head, "No Hunter, you'll turn her into the old council, she abused her powers, the New Charter isn't running yet, let the old council judge her, just like they do everyone else." "Morgan that's rather harsh" "Is it?" Morgan demanded, "Why is she so different, why can't she have the same treatment that all other witches had to have? L:ike my father! He went down the wrong path too and I had to watch youstrip his powers!"
"Because she's a good person, and she's a friend" Morgan felt the tears again, "And that was my birth father!David Redstone was also a friend, do you remember him Hunter? One of my first friends in the Craft, he went down the wrong path to help someone and he was still stripped! And I was one of those who had to do it! Like I say, why is she any different?"
Morgan was right, maybe the spell was clouding his judgement too, because he still thought he was in love with her.
"I'll write a reversal spell, but you need to bring me that letter so I can see what I need to reverse, after that we'll see what happens, but she goes to the council one way or another"
Hunter nodded, "I have the letter, it's in my pocket, here you go" he handed it to her "Thanks"
Hunter leaned in to kiss her cheek, but it was Morgan's turn to pull away, "No, it's not the time" she said, Hunter looked hurt, he turned and headed out to the door, he felt Morgan's eyes on his back as he left the living room, he turned back to look at her but she looked away, again he turned and as he reached for the door handle he sensed Bree behind him, "I heard every word you said to her in there" she said, "If you're playing some sick joke, or hurt her in anyway I'll have you, I may not have powers but I'll dye trying to protect her." Hunter looked into her eyes, "Then thats one thing we have in common" he said
