A/n: Another good chapter don't you think? Well lets see how Cal is getting on shall we? Please r&r, Enjoy!


Cal.

"But first I want to tell you a story" Benjamin said, I waited expectantly, looking up at him the shadows from the fire dancing across his face, he looked about 50 years old, same age my mother would be, but when we were outside he looked so much older no younger than 65.

"Your mother was a powerful force, one not to be reckoned with, a member of Amyranth, like myself" "Amyranth?" I gasped, I had heard a lot of stories about amyranth, none of them good.

"You didn't know that, did you boy?" I shook my head, "No, no I didn't" Benjamin focused an icy gaze upon me, "Are ye disappointed, Lad?"

I didn't know, was I? My mother was evil, I wasn't evil, but I suppose I wasn't good either... I just did what needed to be done.

"Go on" I said not answering his question, "The leader of Amyranth and your mother... I guess they had a fling, no one know's for sure what happened between the two of them, one minute they were inseperable but then they became at each others throats all the time, Ciaran McEwan, Amyranths leader had his plans, but Selene had her own, they constantly bickered over leadership." "What do you mean? What plans?" I asked, Benjamin smiled, "From the beginning, I knew Selene would be the perfect leader for the coven, she knew what she was doing, she was calculated and wise, but Ciaran had the rest of the covenas his followers, he was much less wise, he was all about sending out the dark wave to destroy covens that hold a possible threat to his 'greatness' so he stole the powers and knowledge of these other covens destroying them in the process"

"The dark wave?"

"Aye, Lad, heard of it?" he said in his thick scottish accent I nodded, "Amyranth controls the wave?" I asked, Benjamin nodded, "An ancestor of Ciaran's created this wave, controlling it is in his blood, which is why it's such a good weapon for him"

I nodded along, following his words of this far fetched story, finally I was getting to real evidence of my mothers live and not the circulating, ever changing rumours, this man knew my mother, practically worshipped her.

"Selene believed the wave was cowardly, hiding behind a gun instead of going in for the kill yourself, as she put it. So she had dealings of her own outside of the coven, I helped her covered for her whenever she needed it," "What kind of dealings?" I asked

Benjamin smiled, "Have ye heard of a great seer named Eliza Ravenclaw?" I shook my head, "She was a close ally with your ma too, told your ma that an unknown child was hidden away somewhere in this world, a witch, extremely powerful, the reason this witch was unknown was because she didn't know she was a witch, her parents hid her away with non witches, and we don't know who or where they are, but what we do know is... this young witch is the sguirs dan"

I sat there, a look of shock and disbelievement crossed my face, "I heard rumours of the sguirs dan" I said, "Aye, so you know of the potential this witch may bare" I nodded in agreement, "When your ma was told this, her eyes went wide with hunger, finding this young witch became her new obsession, she wanted this young witch dead so she could claim the powers of the sguirs dan for herself, so then she could over rule Ciaran and take over Amyranth, but then when Ciaran found out, he got his followers to trap her and then when they took her to Ciaran, he killed her and they've been looking for me and Ravenclawever since, that's why I'm hidden away up here, this fog shields me from them finding my whereabouts"

"It was Amyranth, this Ciaran that killed my mother!" I growled "Aye" Benjamin nodded, "Thank you, so much, thats more than I needed to hear!"

I rose to my feet and headed for the door, "Stop!" Benjamin shouted, "What are your plans now? You think you can just wander into Ciaran'schambersand kill him? He'll have you dead in a second boy!"

I didn't think, thats my problem.

"Carry out what your mother sought to accomplish, make her proud" I looked blankly at Benjamin, a crooked grin was spread across his face, "find the sguirs dan and claim her powers, kill Ciaran that way, then come find me... you'll be the next leader of Amyranth!"

I stood there, I didn't want to be a coven leader, especially Amyranth, I wasn't power hungry like that, and I didn't believe in their work, I was hungry for revenge and I spent years looking for the man that killed my mother, and I was more than ready for killing him, but to kill an innocent witch? Could I really do that?

But I remembered my beliefs, I do whatever needs to be done.

"Recent tellings from Miss Ravenclaw says that this young witch has recently been awoken in light of her magick, and she is tucked away in a small upstate New York town called Widow's Vale."

I looked at Benjamin, "Thanks again," I said, as I reached for the door handle

"Another thing," Benjamincalled after me, "There's no need to go back out into that icy weather, I'll get you to Widow's Vale in a second I've got a spell that'll work" Pointing a wand at me he cleared his throat, "In this night and at this hour, I call upon the darkest power, over land and over sea's send this boy where ever I please!" he cackled, "See ya soon boy!" he called,

Next thing I knew I was stood on a sidewalk with the sun shining down on my pack, me wearing a heavy black parker was rather hot so I quickly pulled it off.

I turned around to face a large red bricked building and a large stone plaque with gold letters on it, it read, 'Widow's Vale High'


Oh okay! fun! Cal, evil/not evil... evil/not evil! oooooh... wait for Hunter's next chapter! Please r&r
