My eyes narrowed at her. "You're a hunter," I reminded her, the memory of the hawk tattoo on her lower back coming to mind. "Why on earth would you want to turn into one of us, the very thing you wanted to completely eradicate?"
"You used to be a hunter too, right? I saw the tattoo on your back. Yet here you are…"
"That's different. I wasn't given a choice when I was turned. You're choosing to be one of us. Why?"
She was silent but a moment as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. "Because I don't ever want to feel powerless again… I don't want to feel like I don't have a choice." She paused, her gaze distant. "More than that, I envy what you and Sofia have. I want to have that too…with Sam."
I almost choked at her statement. "Sam?"
She looked at me with panic-stricken eyes. "You're not going to tell anyone, are you? Only Kyle and Eli know how I feel for Sam…not even the girls know…not even Sofia!"
