Ok guys guess what?… MY EXAMS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!!! So that means I will try to update more. Has anyone else ever had as many exams as me and my friends? We had 7!! I swear by the time I walked into geography today all I could think of is WHOEVER INVENTED EXAMS SHOULD BE HUNG DRAWN AND QUARTERED!! One virtual cookie to whoever can explain the details of that type of torture to me in a review. It is my absolute fav execution. Now I do believe exams were invented by the Chinese, who would us such methods to elect the smartest man in the country to be their next leader. They preformed this practice for thousands of years till it was abolished in the early 20th century. Why they don't do that nowadays I don't know. Anyway enough with the history lesson. Please enjoy the chapter and review!
The cab pulled up outside the house. Morgan paid him and climbed out of the car after Max. As the cab drove away Morgan gazed at the house nervously and drew in a couple of deep breaths. This was the house where she grew up in. She knew she would be seeing it again, but it still affected her immensely. Her mind wondered back to all the good times she had here. It also made her feel the weight of her unused magic even more. Everyday it was life a wet blanket, smothering her and keeping her from ever truly being ultimately happy. The only time she was ever absolutely completely happy was when she was with Max, just the two of them. But now, because of all the memories of the Magick done in this house, she felt like she was suffocating and losing the will to go on.
But she had to.
She would never give up. Especially when Max was around. Max was her anchor. Taking a deep breath she slowly walked down the path to the front door, Max calm but excited beside her.
What were they going to think? Morgan couldn't help but go over the possibilities of how they would react to finding out they had a granddaughter they didn't know about. They could be fine with it. They could throw her out. They could yell and scream and demand that she give up Max. No! They could never get her to give up her angel. If things got ugly she would leave or at least send Max out of the room. She didn't want her baby to be exposed to that.
As they reached the front door Morgan looked down at Max, a pained expression on her face.
"You can do it Mummy. I know you can. Please?" Max gazed up at her mother with sparkling eyes and smiled the cutest smile imaginable. Morgan couldn't help but smile in return and she relaxed just a little bit.
"Ok honey. Lets do this."
Morgan tentatively knocked on the door and held Max's hand. Max felt her mother's nervousness and hid behind her.
Morgan heard faint footsteps coming from deep in the house. They came closer until Morgan could faintly see the shape of a person behind the distorted glass in the door. The door slowly swung open to reveal…
Hunter.
"Mum!"
Morgan jerked out of her vivid daydream to find herself sitting next to Max in the back seat of the cab. Looking out the window she saw that they were turning into her old street. They were almost there.
"Mummy, are you ok?" asked Max, concerned. Morgan realised that she was breathing heavily. She placed a hand on her chest and tried to slow down her breathing. Her heart was going a mile a minute and she was having trouble thinking straight.
"Mum, please tell me what's wrong"
Morgan looked at Max for a second. How could she tell her that she was afraid of running into her sleazebag of a father? Or that she thought her grandparents were going to despise her existence? And where to start about her life as a Wiccan before she was born? It would be too much for someone of her age, even though she did seem plenty mature for her age.
"I'm fine Honey. Now lets go meet your grandparents eh?"
The cab pulled up outside that house and Morgan and Max climbed out. As Morgan settled the bill with the cab driver Max stared up at the house. It was far bigger than their house in Brightingville. It was a two story Victorian style with cute flowerbeds around the outside and a sheltered veranda where the front door was. Glancing back at her mum she saw that Morgan was having a heated argument with the Taxi driver over the bill total. Sneakily Max hurried up the path to the front door. She stood on tippee toes to reach the doorbell and pushed it. She glanced back at Morgan who was still completely unawares, deep in discussion with the idiotic cab driver.
Max whipped round as the door opened. In the doorway stood a woman. She looked to be in her fifties with greying hair and worn, tired eyes. She looked down at Max curiously.
"What can I do for you little miss? Are you lost?" Max gave the lady the cutest smile she could."
"No. I'm not lost. My name's Max. I'm just waiting for my mummy to come. She wants to see you but she's really scared. Don't be angry at her ok?" Max looked up at the lady with sparkling eyes and the cutest puppy dog pout imaginable. The lady's brow furrowed and she looked thoroughly confused but couldn't help but smile at the adorable little girl. She reminded her so much of Morgan.
Meanwhile Morgan had finally paid the cab driver and looked around to find Max missing. Again!
"Max" she called urgently. This was not her idea of fun. "Max stop playing games and come out. This isn't funny!"
From the doorstep the lady looked up at hearing Morgan's freak out. Max laughed at her mother.
"Mom! I'm over here!" Morgan whipped round to see Max smiling and behind her, her mother.
Mary Grace's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe it. It was her long lost daughter. She couldn't believe it! She had finally come back! But wait, then who was this cute little girl? She must be looking after her for someone.
Morgan looked up too see her mother staring at her with recognition in her eyes. Max ran out to meet her and Morgan gathered her up in her arms and hugged her tightly.
"You have got to stop scaring me like that!" She whispered as she let go of her darling.
Max giggled sweetly. "I'm sorry Mum!" Morgan kissed her on the head then fluffed her hair, before looking up at her mother. They stayed still for a second before Mary Grace burst into tears and ran down the path and hugged her daughter tight.
"I love you Mom." Whispered Morgan, a single tear running down her cheek."
"Don't you ever do that to me again baby" was her mother's tearful reply.
Me and Minx have come to the conclusion that MAX IS SO CUTE!!! We think she in the epitome of cuteness and in the next chapter there shall be more Max cuteness as well as…SOME HUNTER! Minx keeps beating me up coz Hunter just never seems to come into the story but I absolutely promise that her will defiantly be in the next chapter. I will not update until Hunter is in the story!!
