A New Destiny

Taken

Morgan's eyes slowly but surely opened and she expected to see her all too familiar room, having not remembered what happened the previous night. However, she was surprised to see that she was somewhere else, some place that she had never seen before. How on earth did she get there? It was when she was more awake that she remembered what had happened. This must be Ciaran's doing...

"I see that you're finally awake, I must have hit you pretty hard if you were out this long," Ciaran commented, sitting not too far away from her, frowning, "The last thing I wanted to do was to hurt you but you left me no choice. I hoped you would come willingly but you didn't but I couldn't just let you be."

This made Morgan jump off her bed as she looked at her father with wide eyes. Had he been watching her the whole time? More importantly, why had he been watching her? Was he planning to do something to her without her knowing? While all of that was important, the thing that worried her the most was not knowing. Not knowing where Ciaran had taken her.

It then occurred to her that she might have a way to escape. All she had to do was witch call Hunter and he would show up to save her, right? Hunter, are you there? Sadly there was no answer. Hunter, please respond to me, this is important, I'm in danger! Once again there was no answer. How come he wouldn't answer?

Ciaran frowned as he knew that she was attempting to contact the seeker. "Morgan, I know you're trying to contact the seeker but you're not going to reach him. I've prevented any chance of him receiving your messages." The male responded, "Perhaps you wouldn't be trying if you knew that he and his friend had planted a watch sigil on you."

Watch sigil? What did he mean by that? Why would Hunter have a watch sigil planted on her. Didn't he trust her. Then again, she had no idea just how Hunter had found her in the woods that night in the first place.

"What do you mean he had a watch sigil planted on me? There is no way he would have done that without me knowing," Morgan replied quietly as she backed away further from Ciaran, "Where have you taken me? More importantly, why have you taken me? You know that I'll never join you..."

The fact that his own daughter, the daughter had the most potential, was so hostile towards him made him sad. Of course, if this was any other normal witch he would have simply killed her but she wasn't. Before the seeker had shown up he had made great progress with her. She trusted him, she had come to him for comfort and not her dear seeker. But now she was being so distant when all he wanted to do was help her.

Still, he was a selfish, power hungry man. He craved her power, he wanted her on his side and no matter how many times she denied him he would continue to try and convince her. She had the combination of his powers and Maeve's and she would be a powerful addition. Sooner or later she would join him.

"That isn't necessarily true, Morgan. One can plant a watch sigil without being discovered, just as you did with me. That's how he found you last night but that doesn't matter. I had the watch sigil removed while you were asleep," Ciaran replied calmly as he casted his senses towards her, "We are somewhere where you won't be found but soon we'll be heading back to New York to join the rest of Amyranth. Isn't it obvious why I've taken you? I want to take you back home with me, so you can be properly taught how to use your magic without having to hold back. You'll find that we aren't as bad of people as you've been told."

Morgan didn't know what to believe. She wanted to believe that Hunter wouldn't do that to her but at the same time she could tell that Ciaran wasn't lying. The teen calmed down, just so that she could prevent Ciaran from getting to her too much. When Ciaran cast his senses she block his attempt almost easily, which seemed to still amuse him.
