HPOV

I lay on a bed. All I could do was listen to Courtney as she babbled,

"I can't believe you made me do this. I didn't want to, you know, but I just had to. You are just so stubborn…" Shut up, I thought angrily. I know how stubborn I am. Finally she stopped.

"Here's what we're going to do," she said. "You're going to give me answers."

She took the bind off me and I bolted for the door. I felt myself freeze again.

"Not ready, huh?" she guessed. "That's okay. I can wait."

Once every hour she would take the spell off me and I would run. Then she would carelessly put the spell back on. We did this all day.

"You just can't get it into your stubborn seeker head that you are stuck! You can't get out that way, Giomanach, so I think you'd better knock it off!" Courtney smiled sweetly. "Now let's try it again." She took the binding spell off once more. I just stared at her. She was right. It wouldn't help to run.

"Good," she seemed quite pleased with herself. "Now let's talk."

"Why, Courtney?" I asked. "Why?"

"Well, after you took dear daddy's powers away, I wanted revenge," Courtney said.

"That wasn't me, it was Kennet," I shot back.

"Oh, I'm not talking about that," she said with a grin. "I want revenge because you gave up on me." I didn't reply. "It was working so well. You were teaching me…I was learning…" She looked at me innocently with her sweet gray eyes. "Why leave?" I just glared at her.

"After a while, I met up with Selene and Cal," Courtney continued. "They showed me what magick really is." She walked up to me and sneered. "Did you really think I would continue 'good' magick after you left me?" I didn't reply.

"Still silent, huh?" Courtney grinned. "I get it. Selfish me. How's Linden?"

"Excuse me?" I whispered.

"Oh, that's right. You killed him. I remember," Courtney snickered.

Watch your mouth," I warned.

"I bet that demon had a lot of fun with him." And I lost my temper.

And we all know what happens when Hunter looses his temper. ;) REVIEW!!!!! Don't forget!
