i Back at the New Charter, Hunter was trying his best to get Moira moved. However none of them were having any of it. It was best for his daughter to stay here and one of the nurses actually told him off for suggesting such a thing. Hunter pulled out his phone and dialed his wife's number. It rang a few times before Morgan eventually answered her phone.
"Hey. Ciaran and Raquel agreed to help, they know something that might fix this. Any luck yourself?"
"No. They are not letting Moira be moved. One of my employees even told me off for even suggesting such a dangerous thing. Looks like you'll have to sneak them in." Hunter told her.
"I'm sure they can pull that off." Morgan smiled down the phone looking at her father in a knowing way. Please this was Ciaran, a Cell Leader of Amyranth. Amyranth were the masters of disguises, sneaking in and out of areas unnoticed. Its what made them so dangerous.
"One slip up and they are caught Morgan." Hunter reminded.
"I know." Morgan smiled, "We will be there soon." Morgan said in a soft tone. Saying her goodbyes she hung up the phone and placed her hand in her lap.
"You are going to have to sneak in." Morgan announced to them.
"I figured might have to." Ciaran answered. Morgan smiled a little at them and the rest the journey was silent until they pulled up into the hospital carpark. The Amyranth members, including her mother, cast an invisability spell around them. Only Morgan could be seen getting out of the car and entering the hospital. Hunter met her in the reception and Morgan nodded at him to signal they were there but invisable. Hunter nodded back and then lead the way back to Moira's room Hunter opened the door and let them all enter before shutting it behind them. He shut the rooms curtains and blinds and switched on the lights. That was when they let their invisability drop. Ciaran and Raquel stood on either side of the bed, and Maeve stood next to Morgan.
Hunter leaned against the door and it effectivly stoped people from getting inside. Ciaran looked at Moira jsut for a moment and for that moment Morgan saw the father that he could be in his face. She didnt wish for a different father or mother at all. Her adopted family, who were stil alive but fairly old now, were the greatest parents she had ever known and wouldnt replace them for the world.
Ciaran nodded once in Raquels direction and then turned to Hunter, "We will need Alwyn. She was used as the vessel for this to happen and it needs to leave the same way." Ciaran told him, "This wont cause any harm to Alwyn. I promise you." Ciaran added quickly momentarily forgetting what a do gooder Hunter was.
Hunter gave Morgan a look and went to get Alwyn who was also in the Hospital. Hunter put her in and they kept her in to monitor everything about it. But she was allowed to leave her room so Hunter went to get her out and bring her along to this room so they could get cracking with the spell.
Once Hunter was gone Morgan turned to Ciaran, "This wont cause any harm to Alwyn."
Ciaran snorted a little and then gave her a look, "Not alot of harm." Ciaran corrected himself. That caused Raquel to laugh a little while she was setting various things in place for the spell. Morgan rolled her eyes a little and shook her head in a typical gesture.
Morgan then looked back up at him wearily, "Will you need my help?"
"All of you can help if you wish. Just send power to me and Raquel. It would be more effective, make her chances better." Ciaran answered her.
"Alright. Hunter might be a while so I am going to go and get Ian who should be in the cafeteria. Make yourselfs invisible while I'm gone." Morgan nodded to them. Ian would be willing to help, even if it is an Amyranth spell. Morgan stepped left into the corridor and began walking down the endless white and blue corridors until they reached the cafeteria with Ian sitting alone at a table just picking at his food.
Morgan walked up to him and she smiled a little, "Not any good?" She asked kindly.
Ian looked up hearing her words and then looked down at his barely touched food, "Not hungry." Ian answered simply.
Morgan smiled knowingly in a way, "Anyway. We need you to come back to the room."
"Why? Has something happened? Moira, is she-" Ian said starting to get worried and almost leapt up out of his chair.
"No. Nothings changed physically. But, Amyranth is here. They have a spell that could possibly reverse whats been done." Morgan explained calming Ian down with her first words. Towards the end of her sentence the look on Ian's face changed from worry to anger.
"But they caused all this. They are the ones responsible for this, and you have just turned to them for help!" Ian said and then in his worried head he put two and two together, "Wait... You did this. Amyranth did the spell and your still part of their sick coven. How could you do this to your own daughter?" Ian shouted at her.
Morgan looked and him and felt like she wanted to slap some sense into him, "How dare you? I'm her mother. I would never knowingly attack my own child, or my coven. Amyranth caused the spell yes, to teach Alwyn and the Charter a lesson. It was unfortunate that it hit Belwicket. But I was not behind this spell. Two witches are here to try and sort it out. Now you can either come back and help, try and do something to saves your lovers life. Or you can sit there and choke on your own salad, your choice." Morgan said and then turned away from him and left the cafeteria. It was all she could do to not break down in tears. Right now though she had to stay strong, not just for her daughter but for Hunter. Even though he wouldnt expect it of her.
Morgan carried on back to her daughters room. As she came up to the door Hunter was also approaching with Alwyn in a wheelchair. When Hunter looked up and he saw her in the corridor. They met outside Moira's door and Hunter put a hand under her chin and made her look at him.
"Are you alright?" Hunter asked her, "Did Ciaran-"
"No. It wasnt Ciaran. Dont worry about it. I'll tell you when all this is over, which is hopefully going to be soon." Morgan answered using her own hand to take his away from her chin. Hunter simply nodded and opened the door to the room, and entered. Once everyone was inside was when Alwyn started to scream and clutch at her neck. Hunter went to stand in front of her asking her wildly what was wrong.
Alwyn couldnt answer past her screams and tears and touching her turned to face Ciaran and glared at him, "What are you doing?" Hunter growled.
"Its the sigil on her neck. If she is near an Amyranth member it will start to burn unbearably until they are out of proximity." Ciaran answered him simply.
"Well do something! Get rid of it or something!" Hunter snapped.
Raquel sighed and went and stood behind Alwyn and moved her hand away from her neck. Ciaran watched her and realised what she was doing "You cant take it off. Aeris will have my head if she finds out. Disable it." Ciaran told them.
Raquel nodded and whispered words in latin and the sigil slowly stopped burning. As the cries calmed down Morgan had time to sense witches coming their way, "Someones coming. Make yourselfs invisible now." She ordered quickly. Ciaran and Raquel quickly put the illusions back up again. In seconds to spare a nurse knocked and entered the room.
"Is everything alright in here?" The nurse asked.
"Everything is fine now." Hunter assured the nurse. Hunter can sometimes be very reassuring. The Nurse took a look at Moira lying in the bed and then to Alwyn in the chair.
"Please dont keep Alwyn out for long. She still needs her rest." The nurse instructed politely.
"I give you my word." Hunter responded. When satisfied the Nurse left the room with a gentle click of the door. The two Amyranth witches waited for a few moments before taking down the spell that kept them invisible. Once they were sure the coast was clear, Ciaran spoke.
"Did you find Ian?" Ciaran asked Morgan.
"I gave him the choice. For his sake I hope he-" Morgan continued. Her anger towards Ian was showing visibly right now. However her words were cut short by the door opening to reveal Ian himself. He came in and shut the door behind him.
"I'm not happy in agreeing to do whatever spell they have in mind since it will obviously be one that is against magick laws. However even if there it a slightest chance it will give me Moira back then I will take it. I'll help you." Ian announced when he was inside the room.
Morgan nodded even though still filled with anger nodded in Ians direction. Hunter flicked a glance between them both his eyes narrowing just slightly noticing what passed between them both. Though for now he decided to ignore it and just let it be. He obviously would be questioning Morgan about it later.
Ciaran nodded to them all and then instructed Ian to lock the door and said to them all, "Lets begin then. Morgan and Hunter, being her parents need to be touching her. I will touch Morgan and Alwyn will touch Hunter. Raquel to me and Ian to Alwyn. Raquel and I are going to work the spell and the other four of you channel as much power as you are able." Ciaran said the last part directed mainly to Alwyn. Her being in a wheelchair, and just barely survived being a vessel for the Taibhs to attack the Belwicket circle.
"I'll do what I can." Alwyn said simply accepting Ciarans words. She wasnt at her full strength and it wasnt like he wasnt telling the truth. Hunter turned to his sister and simply smiled.
"We dont expect anything more Alwyn." Hunter said as he took his place on the left side of Moira's bed.
Ciaran just rolled his eyes at Hunters statement and just ignored it and carried on, "Join hands. Whatever any of you do. Do not pull back, no matter what you see. Just gather your power and use it to strengthen our spell." Ciaran told them.
All the witches nodded. Morgan pushed a bit of Moira's golden hair out of her face. She saw Hunters hand join hers on the other side of Moira's temple and laid the middle and index finger there, and pressed down ever so slightly and Morgan did the same. Morgan felt Ciarans hand clasp her other that wasnt pressed to Moira's temple. Soon enough all their hands were in a circle. Morgan looked at them all and their eyes were closed slowing their breathing, clearing their minds of unwanted clutter. Morgan soon shut her eyes and did the same. She tried hard to declutter her mind but it was easier said than done this time. Usually it was easy to declutter her mind before magick. But her magick had never been used to try and save any of her loved ones when they were near death. Eventually however her mind was clear and she felt the ever humming thread of magick within her.
Once all breathing together Ciaran began to recite the first part of the spell. Thankfully this spell was all words. Everyone began to sing their own personal power chant. She was familiar to Hunters as he was to hers. Moira' had the same as hers, and so did Morgans mother. It was the power chant for their family. As Ciaran directed the spell to her mind to everyone the black mist surrounding her mind became visible. Faintly she heard Ian gasp in shock. But keeping his word he didnt pull away from the spell.
Once Ciaran had finished his part of the spell she saw the begining of a white light start to form. Raquel then quickly took over reciting the second part to the spell and white light began to grow stronger and glow much brighter. Morgan concentrated a little more and could begin to actually see Moira's sleeping mind through the darkness still enshrouding her mind. Morgan wasnt even paying attention to the spell now. She was still trying to contact her daughters mind. The white light was growing bigger and bigger until the darkness was barely there, thats when she heard her daughters conciousness scream as the mist kept attacking more violently now as it was being defeated.
"Moira!" Morgan shouted to her daughters mind.
"Leave me alone!" Moira screamed back evidently terrified.
"Sweetheart, its me! Mom is right here for you. Come back to me, your strong enough to fight this!" Morgan pleaded with her daughter.
"No!" Moira cried her mind retreating futher back away from the darkness.
"No, stop! Dont give up. This is darkness playing tricks on your sweetie! See the light we have created. Follow it and banish the darkness from your mind. You can do it. We all beileve in you!"
Her mind seemed to stop and it took a dive and reached out to her own and for a moment they merged and Morgan felt her daughter still very much alive, "Mum?" Moira said cautiously.
"Thats right, my sweet girl. Come back now the darkness is almost gone."
"No. Its still here. I can feel it. It wont let me go..."
"You can. I promise." Morgan said and felt last of the darkness disspate with one last attack on her mind. With Morgan there with her mental barriers that was protecting her mind, she used to sheild her daughters. The final blow would of surely shattered her mind.
Then with an almost start everyone woke and Moira sat bolt upright in her bed. Once the spell was over they all seemed tired. Morgan breathing heavily sat on the edge of the bed and took Moira's face in her hands.
"Moira?" Morgan questioned moving hair out of her face, "Sweetie, speak to me." Morgan demanded as sweetly as she could.
With almost dizzy eyes Moira focused and then whispered her name. It came out in croaky unused voice. "Mum..." Moira smiled a little.
Crying, Morgan pulled her daughter into the most longest biggest hug she could muster at the time. Moira's arms encircled her mother as well and buried her face in her neck crying silently. Eventually Morgan did let her go so Hunter could see her as well.
Moira still crying looked up at her father who was also crying. Hunter leant over and wrapped her arms around his daughter and held her tightly for a moment. Moira returned the hug never being so happy to see her family in a long time.
Moira released her father and then looked to the side to see her aunt, "Aunty Alwyn."Moira said with a smile but didnt reach out for a hug. Alwyn nodded in the direction of her niece with a happy smile to see her come out of this alright and well.
Hunter stepped back and let Ian take his place beside Moira at the bed. Without anywords they just embraced. Morgan got of the bed and then just as the two lovebirds actually let each other go, Moira actually took in the other two witches in the room. For a second she seemed to stop breathing.
"Are you not back?" Moira asked in a scratchy voice, a question directed to her mother.
"No. I'm back. Im not leaving. But I did have to ask for their help, Moira. You wouldnt be here right now if it wasnt for your grandfather you wouldnt still be in a coma." Morgan said in her motherly voice.
"Its alright, Morgan." Ciaran said gathering the things that they used for the spell.
"No. Thank you. Really." Moira said to him. Moira didnt particularly trust Ciaran, though he had just saved her life pretty much, so at the end of the day, she was grateful.
Ciaran looked at her for a moment and nodded, "Your Welcome. Morgan, I need to talk to you."
"Ill drive you back." Morgan agreed, "Hunter, can you stay please?" Morgan asked,
"Will you be alright?" Hunter asked.
"Of course." Morgan smiled and nodded. Morgan then looked at her daughter and smiled, "I'll be back soon, sweetie. Rest up. Treat her like a princess, guys." Morgan said just before leaving and she heard laughter through the walls. Ciaran and Raquel had put up their invisibilty spell around them again and they slipped back out of the hospital and made their way to Morgans car before they took the spell off them. They mainly drove home in silence. Ciaran and Raquel both looked exhausted. Morgan just felt like she needed a bite of something sweet. They had afterall worked the spell she just called up alot of power. That also made her alert. Quickly checking her mirrors she slammed on the brakes which made both the other witches jump and look at Morgan.
"There are more than five witches in your house. Alot more."
