Dun dun dun! The plot thickens, and you continue not to review. :( Anyway, enjoy!
HPOV
Man, I really had to watch this Linden thing. Why did I fall for it every time? If only I hadn't told Courtney about him! All I'd done is give her an excuse to rebind me again. Goddess, why did I have to teach her that one?
Courtney's crazy. I'm sure of it. She's purposefully tormenting me. Getting me angry, asking me question…and she always talks about Cal! Call this, Cal that, Call bought a hat. (Sorry, I had to put in that joke. :p)
So I asked her the next time around, "Why are you talking about Sgath? This is me you're kidnapping!"
"Because you hate him," Courtney replied smugly. That was not true. I did not hate him. I hated his guts.
The strange thing was, I was more powerful then her. I had taught her. How could she keep me here? Yet I couldn't break free of the binding spell.
Several times I tried sending messages to Sky and Morgan, and even a couple to Cal about how much I hated his guts. After all, it was he that put these things into Courtney's head.
Eventually she let me sleep. I got in an hour or two before Courtney woke me up.
"Breakfast!" she said in a singsong voice. I tried not to groan. Groaning would be showing weakness, and the one thing you must never do with an enemy is show weakness.
"Do you like pop tarts and Diet Cola?" she asked sweetly, even though she knew I despised them. I just glared at her.
"Well, that's all you're getting," she continued. "I would have you go and get it yourself to make you work, but that's what you want, isn't it? To be independent? I thought so. That's what you do. No time for anything fun." She made a face.
I couldn't believe I used to like her! Courtney was like my old Morgan, you could say. I was sent to teach her about Wicca when I first became a Seeker. It was my first mission. I taught her all I had learned so far and Courtney got the wrong idea. In fact, I even got the wrong idea once. I made a mistake, tried to make it personal, and when I had to leave she took it hard. Who knew Cal and Selene would show up and turn her against me?
I glared at her gray eyes. I always focused on people's eyes. Cal had golden ones, I knew, Morgan had a beautiful shade of brown. Courtney's eyes were gray, and I used to think they looked like silver. Silver, gold, and copper. That was interesting to think about. I'd have to keep it at hand when Courtney was babbling on about Cal.
So now we know why Courtney has Hunter. But will she let him go? You'll just have to find out. :P
