Chapter 3
''MORGAN!'' Bang! ''MORGAN!'' Bang! ''WAKE UP!''.
Someone was knocking on Morgans dark wood door but she didn't want to wake up. She had just yesterday come home from a mission involving stopping some soldiers she didn't know wich country they were from, not all of them human. There had been these trolls that had been so ugly she had thought she had been dreaming, but they had been real and had been making their way to a mining village by the border in the north.
Morgan's thoughts where interrupted when a young girl with short dark red hair, the same red as blood, stormed in to Morgans room.
''Morgan! What's wrong with you?!'' she shouted at Morgan that was lifting herself up by the elbows.
''What do you mean what's wrong with me Annie?'' she asked Annie the red haired girl that now sat down beside her on the bed so there faces was more at the same level, but not really because Morgan was still lying in bed just leaning on her elbows and Annie sat striate up.
''Why didn't you tell me you were back?'' Annie asked looking upset.
''Oh come on Annie!'' Morgan let out with a sighed and fling her head back. ''Me, Noah and Everett got home in the middle of the night!'' She said and stared in to the girl's light blue eyes. ''We were really tired and I still am. I bet I have just slept like three hours!'' Morgan let out and lifted her elbows from the bed under her and let her upper body slam on to the bed it had men lying on just a minute ago.
''Move I want some space to.'' Annie said and Morgan moved so that they both could fit beside etch other on the bed. ''So what happened?'' She asked Morgan. ''Oh and you have slept more then three hours, it's lunchtime.'' She said before letting Morgan answer the question she had asked.
''It's lunchtime?!'' Morgan let out and sat up on her elbows again looking down on Annie's face with wide eyes.
''Yeah, but answer my question first.'' Annie said and dragged Morgan down on the bed.
''Well not much, really.'' she started but then she had remembered the trolls. ''Oh oh! The soldiers that was gonna attack that village had these really ugly trolls with them. I mean like...'' she had to think about how to explain to Annie how ugly they had really been. ''Like Bill when his's crying.'' that was a perfect comparison, but mean.
''No one can be that ugly!'' Annie laughed. ''Well except for Billy when his's crying that will say.'' Now they were both laughing so much that they couldn't breathe.
When they had stopped laughing, which had taken a good amount of time, Morgan felt that she was hungry. And to prove that, her stomach growled so high that Annie's eyes got so wide that Morgan thought they would pop out of her skull.
''You hungry?'' Annie asked sarcastically and smiled.
''No'' Morgan answered with a made up dark voice, they laughed again.
Annie got of the bed and walked to the door, Morgan sat up at the bed.
''I will wait outside, you get dressed.'' she said and walked out and closed the door that was made out of some dark wood that Morgan never remember what it was.
She got up from her bed and walked to the other side of the room ,that wasn't that far because the room was nit that big, and opened her dresser. She took out a dark blue tunic and a pair of dark brown pants. She had to look a bit for her shoes because the night before she had just thrown them of so she could get to bed, she found them on separate parts of her room.
Morgan opened the door and there, just like she had said, Annie stood and waited. She closed her door and they started to walk, Morgan still sleepy.
''That was fast.'' Annie said.
''yeah, I'm hungry.'' Morgan said holding her hand over her stomach.
''The others started without us I think.'' Annie said looking up to sky for no real reason, she does that sometimes.
They hurried to the dining hall and Annie had been right, all the others were already sitting at their normal table talking and eating. Morgan and the redhead walked over to get some food and then sat down over to the others.
''Move over.'' Morgan said to the boy that had saved her from a group of bandits seven years ago, and taken her to this place and people that she now called home and family.
''You think I'm that fat?'' Noah said an pretended to be hurt by that she had said, she rolled her eyes at him and he moved over so she could sit beside him.
''And we thought you had died or something Morgan.'' Bill said smiling at Morgan and she looked at the oldest of the group, the boy with curly black hair and green eyes with a little gray in them. 'He doesn't really look like a troll, that was pretty mean of us' she thought to herself when looking at his face that was quite handsome.
''Oh I was.'' she said as a reply, took a bite of the food on her plate before continuing. ''But Annie waked me up again.'' Morgan said and smiled at Bill.
''That sounds like her.'' Noah said and almost everyone of them laughed except from Annie and Trey. A dark skinned guy with grey, almost white, hair and a pair of beautiful red eyes.
''There going to be a meeting now after lunch.'' Trey said and looked at Morgan with judging eyes, she felt for some reason he has never like her.
''What for?'' a girl named Ariel said, she sat beside her older brother Everett that had been on the mission Morgan had come back from yesterday night.
''Probably about all the unknown soldiers that have been involved in almost every mission lately.'' Bill said with food in his mouth.
Annie hit him on the chest, making him to get the food stock in his throat. ''Don't speak when you have food in you mouth!'' she hissed at him while he tried to not suffocate.
''Well we will be going to the meeting now, see you there.'' Everett said and both he and his sister stood up and walked of.
Morgan and the others that was still at the table ate their food and walked of to the meeting to, but what could be so important that the whole Order had to be at the meeting.
When she walked in to the great hall that was inside a mountain there was already a lot of people inside waiting for the meeting to begin. The hall didn't have walls, it was more like a big cave that could fit hundred something people. There weren't any seats, all the people in this organization wouldn't fit in this enormous hall if it would be seats.
Morgan, Annie and Bill walked over to Everett and Ariel, they could easily be spotted in the crowd it was two blond heads. One a little bit taller then the other that looked like a fur ball, that was Everett. And then there where another with two braids that was a little shorter then Everett, that was Ariel. And when we got closer and they turned around to greet Morgan and the others she was met by two pair of golden brown eyes, their eyes.
''Hay, just in time.'' Ariel said happily and smiled at all three of them, showing her wolf fangs.
''Where's Noah and Trey?'' Bill asked the two siblings, they looked at etch other and then at the Morgan and the other two.
''What do you mean I thought they were with you three.'' Everett said looking confused, as did all the others.
''The meeting begins!'' a voice echoed unnaturally in the big hall, or should she call it a cave.
''Hello children of the 'Order''' a old but strong voice said so all the people in the hall could hear.
It was Elijah Genhard the first head of this organization that's named 'The Order'. It had formed under the great dragon war and was still active. But no one know about it, not any more. They ruled over the continent and had it headquarters here in Gitana. This is were Noah had taken Morgan after he had saved her seven years ago. He had been born here and the soldiers living here had given him his name, that's the reason to why he didn't have a last name. All seven of her friends, including her, they was here because they didn't have anywhere ells to go. Well that wasn't really true about Morgan, but she didn't want to go back if she could chose herself.
''I'm quite confident that you have all noticed that a big amount of unknown soldiers have been appearing. That's because a war is on it's way.'' the first head Genhard said and no one dared to breath. 'Had they heard right? Was there going to be a war?' was all she could think and knew that all the other people in this great big hall was thing the same.
''Morgan? Did I hear that right?'' I heard Annie ask in my head, she was using her telepathy.
''Yes I think you did... because I heard the same thing.'' I answered her thru the link she had created between us.
''We have been able to keep this war ,that have already started, a secret from the kings.'' first head Genhard said, looked out over his children as he calls the soldiers under his command and spoke again. ''But it has come to the point where we have to come out of the shadows and fight in the light with the kings.'' still no one was breathing.
''Wait has the war already begun?'' Annie asked confused, again thru the link she had created between her and Morgan so no one could her them.
''I guess we have been fighting a war all along have we.'' Morgan answered more herself then Annie.
''As you know my children, we have been working in the dark and are just a tale soldiers tell at the campfire. BUT WE ARE NOT! WE ARE REAL AND THE WORLD NEED TO KNOW THAT NOW!'' he paused and Morgan could only guess it was for dramatic effect. ''This war will be lost if we, The Order, don't fight out in the light this war will be lost.'' every person in the hall let out the breath that they had held.''Be prepared to be send out in the light.'' was the last thing he said before he left the stage he had been standing on.
