Cal.
I don't know what it was but the more time Hunter spent with Morgan, the more jealous I became, I knew Hunter had feelings for her, was I beginning to as well? At school the four of us (Me, Hunter, Morgan and Bree) had become inseperable, Bree not so much because she didn't know about the whole witch thing. Hunter and I both liked Morgan, I'm not sure who Morgan likes and Bree I believe has taken a liking to me, her pointless flirting and throwing herself at me wasn't going to work, don't get me wrong she's a good looking girl and I'm a good looking guy but as far as going out with her is concerned I'm not that interested.
Last night I came home after our friday night circle, to the tiny one-bed apartment I rented, and I fell onto the couch my head was circling, was I jealous knowing that Morgan and Hunter were alone spending more time together, yes. Why, I don't know. Morgan was one of those people who you don't realise how beautiful she is until you get really close and get to know her strength.
Hunter, he was a Seeker, that didn't bother me, he didn't know of the things I've done, I'm not that person anymore. I've found a place I belong, something I've not had since before my mother died, I have friends, a coven... but I still want to see Ciaran McEwan die at my hands, maybe the seeker and Morgan will help. After all he's the dark witch. It's a seeker's job to bring them in and do whatever it is they do to them. Once upon a time, my mother wanted to findMorgan for her powers as the sguirs dan, and maybe Ciaran now wants that, we'll be protecting her to kill him.
Tonight I'm on my way out, Hunter and I are meeting at a bar, totally my idea of course, to talk. Maybe I can tell him about my mother, Benjamin McAlistair and all of it, maybe because I'm being honest with him, he'll trust me, because I know thats something I haven't won over from him yet, his trust.
Something that normally wouldn't bother me, but this guy and I have bonded and for some reason unknown to me I did want his trust.
Pulling on a jacket I headed out the door, down the stairs and then hopped into my car.
I discovered this bar the other night, I decided to check it out, its quite a dive but me a 19 year old witch that can cast a glamour got served, not that I actually needed too.
"Cal," I saw Hunter stood by the battered old Honda he bought in the carpark of the bar.
"Hunter" I said, "We going in" Hunter pulled a face and then smiled "Yeah come on!" I encouraged him, "Lads night out!"
Three bottles of budwieser later, I don't whether it was me or the drink that decided but I finally brought up the subject of my mother.
"Hunter, theres something I want to get off my chest" I began, Hunter looked at me intently, "Go on" he said, "I don't actually know where to start..." I said searching for a way in, "Okay, have you heard of a witch called Selene Belltower?" I asked, Hunter nodded, "Yes, she was pure evil, I hear she was killed by Amyranth for double crossing them" I nodded, "true" "What has that got to do with anything?" Hunter asked
I took in a deep breath, "Selene Belltower was my mother" I was waiting for Hunter to judge me, to yell at me for lying to him, but he didn't he carried on watching me, waiting for me to continue, that was one of the things I liked about Hunter.
"I'm not like her, but for a while I went into a dark place, searching nothing but for my revenge," I told him everything, and I mean everything, including what Benjamin wants me to do and how I don't want to because these people feel like family to me.
At the end Hunter nodded, "Thank you Cal," he said, "You've opened up to me and told me things that you thought I could never understand,like what I told you about my parent's, my brother and sister,and because of that, I feel like I can trust you"
I smiled, "Really?" finally the words I wanted to hear, even though he never told me that he didn't trust me. Hunter nodded, "What about your father then? Who was he? Didn't he try and find you after news of your mother's death"
I frowned trying to recall his name, "I'm not sure, maybe he tried, but he left us when I was a baby, maybe because he was scared of my mother, but he had another woman pregnant" Hunter frowned also, "What?" I asked him, "I have this half-brother somewhere, my dad was with someone else when my mum was pregnant with me, he was scared to leave her because she was a dangerous woman"
My eyes widened, that was it... oh my Goddess... "My fathers name was Daniel Niall" Hunter looked at me shocked, "That's my fathers name..." "That's it!" I cried, "So your father is my father? That's why he never went back for you, because he was scared of Selene, when she had died he and my mother were already in hiding"
Suddenly everything was coming to me... I was figuring it all out. "Amyranth must be who's after your parent's too! Ciaran McEwan is the leader, he killed my mother and he must have thought this sguirs dan Selene had mentioned that was going to take over Amyranth was the child of hers, aka me, so he must have also figured that he or she will be with his dad, I was taken into care, hiden away before Ciaran could get to me, but it still after your parents to take care of the threat"
Hunter's eye's widened, finally we both had the answers to what we searched so many years to find.
"Hunter, you have to help me, we have to kill this Ciaran, it's too risky just to strip his powers, if we kill him, you can find your parents and I can live knowing my mothers death wasn't in vain!"
Hunter nodded, "Tomorrow, we'll come up with a plan," he rose his bottle, "tonight we drink," holding his glass higher he said, "to brothers!" I too rose my bottle, "to brothers" I replied, we clinked our bottles together and finished the remainder of the beer,
"Right!" Hunter said, trying to climb of his stool... was my little brother drunk? I laughed to myself, "I'll buy next round, after I relieve myself," I laughed,
Suddenly I sensed Morgan nearby, she was in distress, I went outside to meet with her, "Morgan? What's wrong? What are you doing here" I asked, it looked like she had been crying and I took her into my arms and stroked her hair,"I'm sorry, I know you guys said you were coming out for a drink here and I didn't know who else to go to, Bree can't understand and Sky wasn't home" "It's okay, what's wrong?" I said continuing to run my fingers through her hair.
"I was reading my mom's, my birth mom's book of shadows, and I found some secret entries, Angus wasn't my father like I thought, it was some really bad witch called Ciaran McEwan and he lied to her, and he hurt her and he's done a lot of bad things"
My jaw dropped, Ciaran McEwan was Morgan's birth father, she was so broken up about it I just held her, she looked up at me and I lowered my neck, my mouth met with hers and we were kissing! After what seemed like an eternity, we broke apart. Morgan looked away from me and avoided my eyes, "I'm sorry" she said, "I just got over emotional" "Hey!" I said, "Don't worry about it, we're all here for you" "I better go, my parents..." "Okay" I said, I was really dissapointed but I kissed her forehead, "If you ever need to talk, I'm here for you, just call" she nodded and climbed into her car and drove off.
When I turned around I saw Hunter andhis eyes were shooting daggers at me, oh god, he saw. "Hunter..." I said "I..." he walked up to me and punched me in the jaw, the blow knocked me completely off-guard and I fell to the ground"You are no brother of mine" he said looking down on me, "You are not my friend and I can't ever trust you" He walked around me and climbed into his honda and drove off.
I climbed up off the ground and brushed myself down, I can't believe I screwed this up, I finally had a brother and now he will never speak to me again. I don't even think Morgan really wanted to kiss me, she wouldn't look at me after I kissed her.
I feel such a fool.
Oh nooo... who do we feel sorry for? Cal or Hunter? Keep reviewing and I'll update again soon!
