Seth wasn't stupid; he knew what Marcus' red eyes meant. He might not have ever witnessed the murders that occurred within the palace's walls, but he knew that they happened because Aro wouldn't have it any other way. The Volturi leader was firm in his beliefs of what entailed being a proper vampire, and he wouldn't stand for any of Carlisle's softness.
But... Marcus' eyes were beautiful. That was something that he couldn't deny; they were this lovely shade of deep red – like rich wine – and Seth couldn't look away from them. Whenever Seth looked at him, they were warm and loving and soft.
They're the only ones that Seth sees like that; Heidi's are sharp, like a hawk's, and are always brilliant red to reflect her passionate nature. And Alec's are dulled, like he's seen too much and like nothing has given him hope; they're washed out and lonely.
Marcus' seem to flicker with a fire that Seth hasn't seen in anyone else's.
FIN.
