“Has he been bothering you, Morgan?” Cal demanded angrily as I drove as fast from Red Kill as possible. “What did he say?”

“Nothing,” I said irritably; I didn’t want to tell Cal anything about Hunter, I wanted him to tell me. “How do you know him?”

“I met him a couple months ago. He investigated my mom and me.” I couldn’t help thinking there was something he wasn’t saying.

“Why do you hate him so much?” There was no enthusiasm in my voice; I knew I couldn’t pull it off, and I didn’t look at Cal, either.

“Hate is such a strong word…”

I rolled my eyes. “Why do you extremely dislike him?”

“Well, he’s a Seeker, Morgan.”

“Cal, I’m not an idiot. I can tell it’s more than that. Did you get in a fight with him?”

“Sort of…”

“Why? What did he do?”

Cal was silent for a moment. “I don’t want to talk about it,” he muttered after a while.

“Fine,” I said as nonchalantly as I could. “If you don’t want to tell me…”

Cal’s head snapped to me. “What?” he demanded. “What’re you going to do?”

I swore mentally. He knew me so well. I pulled the car over, deciding we’d gone far enough, turned to Cal and said as gently as I could, “Cal, look,” he just stared at me. “I’m seventeen. I think I can handle Hunter Niall.”

“Oh, please don’t say what I think you will,” he muttered.

My eyes narrowed impatiently. “I’m going to get rid of him,” I said testily. “My way. I’m going to lure him in, invite him to the house, and let Ciaran do what he has to.”

“You know I think that sounds wonderful,” Cal said darkly. “Except that it’s you. How far are you going to go? And what if he catches you, takes you to the council? I can’t bear the thought –”

“Calm down, Cal,” I interrupted, calming him down. “It’s okay – I’ll be fine. As for how far? As far as it takes! Don’t worry; I know my limits.”

“But Morgan –”

“I’ll be fine,” I said again. “Now, come on. There’s nothing left to say, and I’ve got more people to tell about this guy.”

“What?!” Ciaran, my father, shouted. “A Seeker?”

“Not just any Seeker,” I added. “A young one. The youngest one I’ve ever seen! He can’t he older than twenty.”

“We have to do something,” Ciaran fretted, pacing back and forth. “We have to…kill him or something. He’s too much of a threat.”

“I can do it,” I piped up eagerly. “Oh, please, Daddy, please! I’ve already met him, and I’m sure I’ll have him in no time!” Well, that wasn’t necessarily true. I was pretty sure he hated me right now, and it may take me a while to completely earn his trust. But I was sure it wouldn’t be too hard. He had kissed me, and I was positive that wasn’t a Seeker trick. That meant he liked me. It wouldn’t be hard at all.

“Are you sure?” he asked. Overprotective father. How original.

I nodded, determined. “I’m positive,” I said.

Ciaran hesitated. “Okay,” he said at last. “If this is what you really want…”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” I cried, wrapping my hands around his neck. “I promise not to disappoint you!” And I ran off before he could say another word.

All right! Again, thanks for reviewing!!!!!!
