Don't get discouraged. Things will get better, I assure you.

Days later Cal was rambling about how he had shown Morgan his seomar or something. I wasn't really listening–Bella had snuck over to La Push while I was hunting. Again.
I'd seemed to be hunting a lot since Hunter Niall died in Cal's world, almost as if I were sorry that I hadn't been the one to kill him, hadn't sucked out his blood until he was hollow.
So I interrupted him and told him.
"Oh, can you imagine, Ed?" he was saying eagerly. "Morgan and I, making magick, forever?"
"Cal," I said suddenly. "I want to talk to you…about the Seeker." Cal tried unsuccessfully to hold back a groan.
"Edward," he said. "What is there to know?"
"It's not a question," I said. "It's…a thought. The only regrets I have about what you did to him, Cal, is that you didn't do enough, and that I wasn't there to help you or kill him myself."
Cal grinned. "I knew I liked you for a reason," he said. "Other than your eyes."
I gave a half smile. "They're not always gold, you know," I said.
"They're not?" Cal asked curiously. "They've always been gold when I see you." I shrugged.
"I think that's the way of the mirror," I said. "Like, when my eyes are black we can't see each other. Our eyes have to be…" I tried to think of a word.
"Mirrored?" Cal guessed. I nodded.
"Exactly," I said. "But it's not just me. If you decided to wear colored contacts it wouldn't work either."
"You know," Cal said out of the blue. "Hunter had green eyes. I hated them! They always have this look, like he knows something I don't…"
"I used to have green eyes," I said quietly. Cal looked like I had slapped him. "Before I became…"
I'd never told Cal that I was a vampire. He knew I was something, but he didn't know what, and I wasn't going to tell him any time soon.
Unless, I promised myself, Hunter was alive. I wouldn't tell Cal until Hunter proved he was alive.
I thought it would never happen.
Coincidence? No such thing, silly! REVIEW!!!
