A/n: Oh no! Poor Cal! (Sobs) Anyways... story is nearly over, lets get on with it shall we... oh and don't forget to review!
Hunter.
"... Our brother, our friend Cal Blaire, taken before his time, we'll miss him, we lost him in death but he'll move on to a new life and live again..."
Morgan and I were stood at the cemetary looking down at the wooden coffin, the wiccan priestess was conducting the funeral, but I wasn't really listening, my eyes were full of tears, as were Morgan's. I pulled her into me and she sobbed into my chest. I stroked her hair andstayed strong.
After everyone had left, the priestess came to the both of us "I'm so sorry for your loss" she said sympathetically I nodded my appreciation and she walked away. Bree came over and hugged us both, "I'll give Sky a ride home" she said, "You two obviously need to be here a while longer, to say goodbye" Morgan nodded, "Thanks Bree," I said
Morgan knelt in front of the hole and looked down at the coffin below, she dropped a rose and it landed on top, through her tears she kissed the tips of her fingers and then aimed them at the coffin, blowing him a kiss goodbye, "Goodbye" I heard her whisper, "I love you" she said, my heart sank, I crouched beside her and helped her to her feet and pulled her into an embrace.
"Hunter..." she started softly, "Just before Cal died, he said you were in love with me, and that you loved me more than anything in this world," I started to shake, I was so scared, what did she think of this? "And then he told me, that he knew how I felt about you, he said he knew I was in love with you too, Hunter"
I looked down at her with disbelief, "I'm in love with you, Hunter Niall" she said quietly, my heart raced a thousand times faster than normal, I didn't know what to say. "You have no idea..." I started through the tears that started, "How long I've waited for you to say that... I love you too, so much"
Cal, my brother, even though he himself was in love with Morgan, he told her the one thing I was afraid to.
"I love you" I whispered again, like a weight was off my chest because I was free to admit it to the woman I love. I lowered my head and I kissed her hard, passionatly, hungrily... something I was desperate to do from the moment I met her.When we parted we looked back at Cal's grave, Morgan looked at me, "Go on" she said giving my hand a gentle squeeze, "You need a moment, to say goodbye," I nodded, she stepped back a couple of steps as I knelt down next to Cal's grave.
"Hello Brother" I said, "I'm gonna miss you..." at first I felt awkward I didn't know what to say, but I felt the tears in my eyes. "Thank you so much, Cal, you have no idea how much... thank you, I hope you find happiness in your next life," "I had to repay the favour," said a voice I looked up and sitting on his headstone was Cal, although slightly more transparent than last time I saw him and without the broken arm and half his stomach wasn't missing.
"Cal?" Morgan came over, "Hello Morgan," he smiled, "This has to be quick I'm having a bit of trouble holding on" "Repay what favour?" I asked "You gave me a family," Cal said, "In you guys, I found more happiness thanI thought was possible, I knew you two were perfect for each other, the moment Hunter couldn't takehis eyes off you that first day in class" He laughed, I blushed a little, Morgan smiled sweetly at me, and she took my hand in hers, "you see," Cal smiled at us both, "Perfect"
"I'm so sorry, Cal" Morgan said tears welling again in her eyes,Cal looked into her eyes, "Don't cry for me..." "Morganita" she finished for him with a smile, "That's it, your learning!"
"I heard you guys when you spoke to me... well to my coffin and I'll miss you guys too, If you want to talk, come here, I'll be listening" "Goodbye Cal" I said, Cal smiled, "Bye little brother" Again I pulled Morgan into a hug and we both smiled at Cal."See you Morgan" he said, "Bye" she whispered.
Then he was gone, Morganread his headstone again, 'Calhoun Blaire 1985-2004, Beloved Brother and Friend, Will be missed. 'Don't cry for me' she smiled, then she looked behind her at another new grave, the headstone read, 'Ciaran McEwan 1960-2004, RIP'
She looked away and shuddered, he was her father by blood, but to her he was nothing more. "Come on" I said, putting my arm around her shoulders. We walked away from the graveyard.
Later at home I was lying on my bed, looking up at the ceiling thinking about what had happened these past few months. My mobile rang, knowing it was Kennet I answered
"Hello Kennet" I said, "Hunter, the council wish to congratulate you on bringing an end to Ciaran McEwan," "That was Morgan, not me" I said bluntly, "Yes, right, how is her training going?" "Okay, she's learning fast" I said "Good, good. Hunter we've good news, we've heard from your parents they're on their way to you now, they should be there tomorrow" "Oh my goddess they are?" "Yes, and we want to reinstate you with your Seeker status" "Thanks Kennet, but I think I'm going to pass, I found my place, and I don't want to leave here" I told them, "Hunter do you know what your giving up?" "Yes" I said with a smile, "Okay Hunter, it was a pleasure working with you" Click, bye then...
I smiled broadly, Morgan walked into the room with two glasses of cranberry juice, "Who was that?" she asked, putting them down onto the bedside table. I sat up and kissed her softly, "That was Kennet, from the council, he wanted me to come back as a Seeker again,"
Morgan's face dropped, "Oh" she said, "I declined, I told him I'm staying here with you" Morgan's face lit up, "Really?" I nodded, "Yes, Morgan I love you" she smiled "I love you too." "And my parents have been found, they've come out of hiding,they'reon their way here" "Oh Hunter thats great" "I know!" I smiled, "I can't wait to see them again"
Finally everything was perfect, but unfortunately it was at Cal's expense, he saved my life that night and theres nothing I can do now to repay him, so I'm not going to waste my life, I'm going to live it to the full, full of love and laughter and something I've wanted desperately for so long, I have finally found happiness.
