Wow! This is my first fan fiction ever! I am updating and editing this to be longer and in general better, so you may notice differences but the main plot will still be the same.

Seth's POV:

I was running patrol as usual. I did my best to focus completely on the sound of my paws hitting the hard-packed earth as I ran my usual circuit. Thump thump-thump thump, thump thump-thump thump. Just the sound of my paws and the forest...

I couldn't stand it anymore.

I stopped abruptly, screeching to a halt before hitting a particularly large tree. Not that I would have been hurt anyway. I stood up, shaking out my short fur. I slowly stretched, trying to relieve some of the constant tension in my body. I looked around unhurriedly, seeing how close I was to the Cullen's. I didn't recognize any of the trees, so I knew I was far enough away that Edward wouldn't be able to hear my thoughts. None of the other wolves were in their wolf forms either, so I knew I had a private moment to myself finally. I flopped down onto the dirt, exhausted. I laid my head on my large paws, heaving out a huge sigh.

I hadn't stopped because I was tired. I didn't really get tired usually after only running an hour or two. It was because my head was in constant turmoil now. There was just too much happening recently for me to really have any time to sort through it all.

It had been only a couple of months since the Volturi had come, preparing to kill us all. Amazingly, we hadn't even needed to fight. Bella's ability to shield others with her mind had saved us all from destruction. That, and Nahuel.

I sighed. Nahuel. He had also been a cause of some of my recent stress. My sister, Leah, had come back from the near-battle with the Volturi without seeing him. When she had needed to talk to Jacob at the Cullen's a couple of days later, she had spotted Nahuel and immediately imprinted on him, and amazingly (and luckily for him, otherwise I would have made him pay for that), he loved her back. They were getting married in a couple of weeks. I was happy for Leah, but I was still stressed out about it.

I finally decided to reflect on the third cause of my stress. Almost all of the older werewolves had imprinted. The only ones who hadn't were Embry and I. Embry was totally fine with it. He had been best friends with Quil and Jacob for a long time and had seen the changes they had gone through firsthand. He had a girlfriend and didn't want to break up with her and break her heart like Sam had done to Leah, which had caused her to be rude and not fun to be around until she had imprinted. He didn't want to imprint yet, not while he had Jamie. I snorted disgustedly. We all wanted to avoid him after he had been on a date with her. He was worse than what Jared was like when we were still in the same pack. No one wanted to know what he did while he was with her, but it was kind of hard not to know.

I, on the other hand, longed to imprint. All the girls I knew ignored me, and I wasn't interested in any of them anyway. I had seen the peace and love that Jacob, Quil, and Leah all had emulated since they had imprinted. I wished I could be the same way.

Suddenly, I recognized I wasn't alone anymore in my head, and it was the one person I really didn't want to talk to right now.

That was harsh, Leah thought. I thought you loved me.

Go away Leah. I really don't want to talk right now. I replied, ready to morph back if she didn't first.

Seriously Seth, you become more brain-damaged every day. She thought jokingly as she ran towards me. Great. Just perfect. I wanted to be alone, and she shows up.

Why do you always want to be alone all the time? Are you emo or something? She said, chuckling, but I could tell that she was actually concerned about me. I really didn't want to hurt her feelings; she was my sister after all, annoying or not. It wasn't her fault she had imprinted and I hadn't...

Oh, so that's why you always want to be alone. Kind of stupid really. She thought as she stopped beside me. She was still the fastest of all the werewolves after all. I mean, it's not always such a bed of roses.

I snorted angrily at her. Like she would know. She had had no problems with Nahuel not loving her back, and all she had known was him loving her fiercely, kissing her... Eww. I didn't want to think about that either.

Don't get all smart-aleky with me. Just because Nahuel loves me doesn't mean that I don't know about the disadvantages of imprinting. For one, you don't love anyone else ever. She flinched mentally, but not by much. Before she had imprinted, she would have avoided this topic like the black plague, considering the whole Sam thing...

I know that. She thought crossly, but not because of Sam. She didn't care anymore about him anyway because she imprinted on Nahuel. Now just listen, alright? You're worrying me with your... obsession. I growled at her. Don't get mad at me just because I couldn't come up with a better word! You have got to focus on other things than imprinting. You're just making yourself stressed by thinking about it.

She was right, but it still didn't help. I needed my own space to think, but everyone else kept on intruding on it. Let me just have my space, ok? I'm changing back; I can't stand this anymore.

But Seth! I wasn't finished- Her thoughts abruptly cut off when I changed, in the process moving behind a convenient bush. I didn't want to hear her babble anymore.

I quickly pulled my shorts on before running off. I didn't have a specific destination, as long as I was away from her and everybody else. Even Edward, my best friend and a vampire, intruded on my thoughts because of his abilities to read minds. He didn't bug me about it, though I knew he was slightly worried about it anyway.

I heard Leah growl in frustration before I heard her large paws running off in the opposite direction.

What a great relief! No more Leah to remind and tell me about what I didn't have. I felt a huge grin appear on my face as I ran faster and faster into the unknown.

There, now it's slightly longer and more detailed. I would still appreciate it if people reviewed on this chapter, since I still need tips to improve even more. Once again, thank you all for any and all reviews! Criticism is also very welcome.
