"But, Hunter, I don't understand. I though we were soul mates!"

"I know love, I did too, but I was just deluding myself. I couldn't see what was right in front of me. Just like you are doing now. I love you, and always will, just not that way." Hunter walked out of Morgan's house and down the driveway.

"Hunter!" she shouted as he was getting into his car.

He looked up, "Yes?"

"I'll be over in an hour to get my books." She said closing the door. When she got inside, she leaned against the door, wiping tear away from her eyes.

He doesn't understand. I KNOW we are meant to be together. I know.





"Cal! I'm home."

Cal ducked into the living room with sympathetic eyes. "How did it go? I know she can turn on the water works pretty bad. Who can say no to that cute little face?"

"Better then I thought," He put a hand threw his hair, thinking for a moment. "She's coming over in an hour to get her books she left here during our study session this week. I hope that's all right with you."

"Um, do you think she should know I'm here? Or that I'm alive at all? Maybe I should just stay upstairs when she comes. She doesn't know that Amyranth put my soul back in my body. I think it's best if she doesn't find out about us" Cal looked shaken, like a lost puppy. His golden eyes hidden under a tousle of dark hair, looking everything like the god Hunter had seen before, but was too scared to admit his feelings. He wasn't scared anymore, and went up to touch that perfect hair, running his hands threw it. Hunter kissed Cal lightly on the forehead.

"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I want Morgan to be happy, but why should I had a wonderful thing such as you just to get that?" He kissed lower and lower on Cal's face until he reached his lips. Kissing him softly he whispered, "I love you, you are my soul mate. I will be with you forever."

Cal made contented noises and wrapped his arms around Hunter, massaging his back. The doorbell rang and they quickly broke apart, Cal tripped back and hit his legs against the coffee table.

"Shit, that hurt," he hissed, grabbing his leg. Hunter looked at him, gave him a quick kiss, and then answered the door. Morgan stood there, in a purple skirt with an off the shoulder peasant top. It was obvious she had dressed to impress.

"Hello, Morgan. I wasn't expecting you so early," Hunter ran his hand threw his hair again, making it stick up even more. She looked at him confused, he was blushing and his shirt was askew. Finally after a few minutes of just staring at him she asked, "Hunter? Who's in there?" the hurt in her voice was obvious, she wasn't trying to disguise it. He could see the tears start. "

Hello, Morgan," came a voice from inside. She glanced past Hunter, gaped, and then hit the floor.





"Morgan, Morgan, Sweetie, wake up," a sweet voice called to her. It was a voice she had only heard in her dreams, or nightmares, for months now. She didn't want to wake up. If what she saw before she fainted was anything close to the truth, it was best to stay unconscious.

"Come on, Morgan, I know your awake. Do you want us to use magick? We will you know." Damn them into a reincarnation as maggots. Still she lay quite, not moving wishing her life away.

"I told you I would use magick, so here goes," she heard the couch moving and felt someone above her. They slowly stretched themselves down until their lips met hers. Nice magick she thought.

Slowly she opened her eyes and let the tears she had been holding back fall. Looking into the golden eyes that had caused them all so much pain and happiness. Those eyes that were ruining her life once again. She still wished that Cal were hers. Even as she glanced over his shoulder at Hunter, she knew she needed Cal. Hunter will always be there for me, she thought. Even if he doesn't love me anymore, he will always be with me. And so will Cal. They are tied to me in a way that nothing can break.

Hunter stepped past cal and crouched down next to her. "Don't cry, love. This isn't the end. I know it hurts now, but you'll find someone else to love. Someone with less complications." He didn't understand.

"But I need you," she whispered throwing her arms around his neck, sobbing. Behind her back, Cal made faces.

Morgan broke from Hunter's embrace. His laughing was shaking her and getting annoying. "Cal cut it out."

"Aww, Morgan. I wasn't doing anything. I love you too much," he said with big puppy dog eyes. "

Don't fall for it Morgan! He did that to me when I got in," Hunter said with a smile. "Although your reaction maybe different."

"What? I don't get it? Aww, Cal. I love you too. Come here," She leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"See? I did the same thing. It's the puppy eyes." Hunter said with a smirk.

"Okay, I so didn't want to hear that." Morgan said as she got up from the couch, and walked towards the door.
