Heartless

Chapter 21

It's been a month since I've seen anyone outside of work. I've been keeping to myself for so long I didn't even notice people anymore. I surround myself with the dead to remind me of one very important thing. I'm not really dead.

I was walking around making sure everyone was doing their job when I saw a very familiar face. "Change?" I walk over to the guy version of me. His hair is as white as mine and his eyes just a violet. He on the other hand was a shapeshifter while I am a ghoul.

"Morg, hey I came to see you." He says looking around to see if we are alone. "I have something important to tell you."

"Then what is it?" I ask as we walk over to the cherry blossom.

"Your father came to the cauldron, and he wanted to talk to you." He says nervously. "So I told him that I'll check with you if it was okay."

"Of course, but why you though?" I ask confused. I knew things would change. I look past the tree at the edge of the cemetery to see a dark shadow. And I'm being watched.

"Well because i'm kinda-" He started but a man with white hair and sunglasses walks up to us.

"Father." I say looking at this man. Well I do have his nose.

"Morgan." He nods respectfully. I turn to look at the shadow but it was gone. Something isn't right.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I ask crossing my arms.

"What I am, what you are and what Change is." He says simply. What does Change have to do with any of this? "You see Change here is your cousin." Well that answers my question.

"So you're a shifter, so I'm a shifter?" I ask even though I know I'm right. That explains my ability to take souls and become them.

"Yes. I just wanted to warn you that there are many people looking for you and me." He says. "Stay hidden, Morganna." He turned into a man with a black suit as if after a funeral.

"Goodbye father." I say to him as he begins to walk over to the funeral going on.

"My name is Mortian." And with that he was gone.

"Well that was interesting." Change shrugged his shoulders.

"Keep a look out for hunter and bounty hunters." I tell him.

He looks at me and nods. "Who do you think wants you?"

I knew the name and it wasn't supposed to be spoken, it was not like Voldemort, it was worse. "Someone from my past." I answer him. "Just go back to work. I'll talk to you later cousin." I smile at him.

"Later." He smiles as he heads back to work.

I stand there alone on the hill as look down at my home. "I know you're there so why are you hiding?"

"It's been awhile." Chamber stood on the other side of the tree.

"Yes, and you know who is coming for me." I say keeping my gaze at where my father was.

"You know he will do anything to have you now that your heart is back." He tells me.

I nod silently. "And I will do everything to make sure he doesn't." Nothing is going to be the same.

"And what will that be?" He asks curious.

"Tell Crypt I'm sorry." I say to him. "It's for his own safety." Chamber nodded before he disappeared. I took out my phone to text the most important person in my life.
