Not much to say just I hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for all the great comments!
I opened my eyes to the blinding brightness. I pulled the blanket over my head and let out a groan. "OW!" I shouted as I felt a sharp pinch on my leg, "What was that for?" I asked sitting up. Whitney looked at me, "You kick too much when you sleep," she said simply and got up. I groaned again and laid back down on the bed. Leanna was already up and typing something with Luke. "Ugh, ba mhaith liom ach a chodladh," I groaned speaking in Irish (I just want to sleep). Logan groaned waking up, "Por favor, falar em Inglês é de manhã cedo, eu não preciso de ouvir você falar irlandês," he replied speaking in Portuguese (Please speak in English, it's early in the morning, I do not need to hear you speak Irish). I smiled, "Whatever," I said getting up and grabbing some clothes and my bag of toiletries.
I took a shower and then brushed my teeth heading down stairs. It was Saturday, and I was so ready to get out today. I had on a jean miniskirt and a purple tank top with beads at the top and black flip flops. Me, Leanna, Hailey, and Whitney all headed outside to hang out in Roseville. We all looked really pretty, well everybody but me, face it if my mom was the chameleon I was the deer in your headlights, I thought you didn't notice me but really you were just waiting for me to move, to get out of your way. To go somewhere you wouldn't find me. We hadn't gotten far from the school when Danny waved at me and walked over.
"Hey Morgan," He said giving me a hug. I smiled. I had told him my real name and apparently it didn't bug him that I lied. Liam and Will waved at Hailey and Whitney who smiled and winked. Leanna stayed quiet, just like Matt. Then a strange thought occurred to me, Luke was perfect for Leanna, but so was Matt. Does this mean that there could be two perfect people out there for me? Or is this just some strange thing that only happens to Leanna? I shook of the thought. And then another strange thought occurred to me. If Danny and Logan were the two boys in my life were they the two that were perfect for me? Would Logan be more perfect because he is a spy? Am I going to end up like my mother? I tried to get the thoughts out of my head and focus.
Once I finally was focused I smiled at Danny who pulled me toward the tree we had met at and gave me a kiss. When our lips parted I stared deeply into his eyes. Eyes... Somebody was watching me. I looked to my right to find Logan staring right at me. He had saw the whole thing. I wanted to shout stop, I wanted him to wrap his arms around me and say it was okay. But I knew it wasn't. It was that moment that I realized Danny was not the perfect one for me. Logan was. Matt was not the perfect one for Lianna, Luke was. Spies never could be with normal boys, my mom learned that the hard way. And I guess I did too, because as Logan ran away, I knew I would never get my Blackthorne boy.
But that didn't mean I wouldn't try. I ran as fast as I could (and the miniskirt would allow) until I was far away from school. The sun had started to set and I was starting to give up hope. A black van drove up and the door opened. I heard a gun fire and I fell to the ground. I looked down at my arm and knew, I had just been in a hit and run accident. But it wasn't an accident. I laid on the ground crying as the blood started to come out of my arm. I ripped the edge of my jean skirt off and wrapped it tightly around the wound trying to stop the blood. Then the tears started coming more and more as I realized what really happened. I had lost my chance.
I would never tell Logan I loved him. Whitney, Lianna, and Hailey would never know how much I loved them, and that they were the closest things to a sister I would ever get. My teachers would never know that I admired them. My Aunts and Uncles would never know how much I loved them and how much they meant to me. The tears wouldn't stop and thats when the hardest part came to me. I would never tell my mom goodbye, I would never tell her that I loved her, I would never tell her that the Circle of Cavan had shot me. And she would never know. And my dad, oh my dad, the last time I saw him was last night when I said goodnight to him. He told me to stay indoors this weekend. And I didn't listen. I was going to die alone here, because I didn't listen.
I sniffled and started to hear my name in the distance. "I'm here," I croaked. It started to rain, the rain got into my eyes and I looked around at the darkness. It had to be midnight, my internal clock could feel it. I had been out here for hours. Then I heard footsteps, "MORGAN!" the voice screamed searching. "I'm hear," I said coughing, my voice was barely audible, "I'm here!" I said louder, "I'm hear!" I shouted but the person couldn't hear me. They started walking away. I had to let them know I was here. I crawled toward a garbage can and started banging against the metal. "I'm hear!" I shouted in between bangs but you could barely hear me. I kept banging until I heard the footsteps coming back. I didn't know if the person was good or not but it didn't matter. If they were good I would be saved (hopefully) if they were bad then my suffering would end (hopefully). Then the person got closer and I knew they were good, "Lianna." She smiled through tears and then she saw the blood coating my whole body and the weak little girl picked me up.
She didn't get far before Whitney and Hailey started helping her carry me. "I love you guys, you are the closest things I will ever get to sisters," I said, "The Circle of Cavan, they did this to me." Hailey looked at me and that rainy night she held only sadness in her eyes, "We know." And then I blacked out.
I woke up in the infirmary, my mother had been holding my hand but fallen asleep. Whitney, Lianna, and Hailey were asleep on top of each other on a couch. Peter, Luke, and Marcus were laying by the girls on the floor and the nurse was nowhere to be seen. I moved my hand and my mother woke up, thats when the nurse walked back in. "Oh good your up, I guess two days was long enough," she said in her Scottish accent. I smiled and sat up a little bit, I had wires and tubes all over me and I didn't know what to do. "So what's up doc?" I asked and she smiled. "Well, lucky for you the bullet just missed the bone, so you don't have to worry about broken bones. But unfortunately you lost a lot of blood. There are a few other things that we want to talk to you about," she said smiling. "The bullet, it had an emblem in it, do you recognize it?" she said handing it to me. I looked at the emblem and felt it with my finger. This proved it, "Yes," I started, "It's the Circle of Cavan, they're back, and they want... me." My mother looked at me with horror in her eyes.
Sure my mother knew they were after me, but this bullet was proof that they had found me and that they thought they could kill me easily. My mother teared up, she knew what being hunted by the Circle of Cavan was like... and she definitely didn't like it. "And one other thing," the nurse said pausing by the door and walking to the bed, "A blonde boy a little taller than you brought in this note for you." I looked down at the paper afraid to open it, my mother looked down at the bullet's emblem afraid to think too much about it. We both were two streams reaching their dam, Damn those beavers. Finally my mom really studied the emblem and she looked horror struck, but hey if my mom can stare at an emblem representing an assassin group that tried to kill her I sure as heck could open a note.
Or so I thought, for the note said some things I could never unread. A spy as well as girl learns important lessons but spy girls learn the most important lesson at a young age. You learn that you should never underestimate your opponent and my "husband" was not somebody I ever underestimated. At the moment I had underestimated the letter, I thought it couldn't hurt me more than a bullet, but at least the bullet would end my misery eventually, this note was like venom. A venom that bit me and wouldn't hurt me until I let my guard down. Logan was my venom, and I had let my guard down. And now the venom was spreading, killing me little by little... word by word.
Dear Morgan,
I hear you got shot. How does it feel? Does it hurt like what you did to me? You might not know it but I saw the van. I'm admitting this much to you. I didn't realize it was the Circle of Cavan, just thought it was a creepy van. I probably would have realized that it was the Circle of Cavan had it not been for you lip locking with that town boy. I hope he makes you very happy. I really hope you didn't die, because when I return to school I want to see your reaction. I want to know how it felt to sit there deserted. But yet again, I already know. You left me deserted. When I loved you, you deserted me. But I guess its an eye for an eye right? I cheat on you, you kiss all of my friends and then some guy I don't know. It makes sense right? Now who is the bad person? Well I guess we really aren't the perfect couple. I now pronounce us husband and wife. Hey, at least we didn't actually get married, at least we didn't actually say vows. Cause god knows adultery is a sin, and we both have done that in the past huh, wifey. Well I better go, your probably dying to read this letter.
Your Hubby,
Logan
I sniffled, he got me numbered. My had left about an hour ago but I couldn't stop rereading the letter. The guys had all went back to the room to sleep and the girls had woken up. Thats when I heard a click and knew Logan was home. He stumbled into the infirmary tripping over his feet. He chuckled, "Hey, you look better than me!" he said and I noticed that his eyes was badly bruised, he was limping, and he wasn't all right in the head at that moment. "Logan what happened to you?" I asked as he walked over and sat next to me. "They found me," he said and started to cry. "Who did?" I asked. "The Circle," he said, "They found me and, and, they told me to tell you something... the school only has a day before they bomb it. Or we can give them you and they won't." He started crying into my lap and I just held him close to me.
He fell asleep eventually, I took the wires off me, and laid back. I leaned toward him and whispered, "I love you," into his ear. He muttered something, and then opened his eyes, "I love you too," he said and I kissed him. He fell asleep again and I put the wires back. Then I started to think, and I added something else, "And I won't let you explode, nor will I allow the rest of the school to explode." I took the wires out again and let go of Logan's hand. Kissed him on the head, walked over to Whitney, Lianna, and Hailey and kissed them each on the head. I walked upstairs to my mother's office and knocked.
The door opened and I looked around. Instantly I noticed that the window was opened. I spun and then realized the Circle of Cavan ring wasn't on its stand anymore. Then I walked to the corner to find my mom knocked out and broken glass everywhere. Then somebody kicked me in the back of the head. I turned to see a man wearing all black trying to grab me. I kicked him in the center of the chest knocking him down. Then I screamed as loud as I could and my sisters started to come in the room. They helped me fight off the five men. One man's foot came about two inches from my face when a hand grabbed it and knocked the man down. I turned to see who helped me and I froze. Brooke Parker had just saved me from a broken nose. The man knocked her down and was holding a knife to her throat when I pulled him off her and started punching him. His face was covered in blood but I wouldn't stop until Logan wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me away. I fought against him not wanting to leave my sisters, not wanting to leave my mother but he pulled me away.
"Logan Wilcox you let go of me right now!" I shouted fighting him. He turned me to face him, "My name isn't Logan Wilcox, that is my code name," he said angry, "My real name is Logan Solomon, but that wasn't what Brooke was going to tell you, she was going to tell you that I am a spy trying to save you. I'm undercover as a student at Blackthorne in order to get closer to you." My eyes teared up, "So you loving me was all some big joke huh!" I said and fought to get away from him.
I heard a woman's voice chuckle from the distance. "Oh, sweet a lovers quarrel," the woman said, "Oh Morgan, you have grown so much since I last saw you from my prison cell. You were just an infant then. But boy have you blossomed, already breaking hearts," she continued, "Well you have the fighting down so I now pronounce you husband and wife." I stared at her angry and confused, "Grandma Goode?" I asked and she nodded. "Hi baby."
