Chapter 1
"Seth! Get your ass down here or we'll be late for the concert!" I hesitated a moment but I kept thinking to myself, "If I don't come down stairs Nessie or Leah will come up and drag me down." So, I walked down the stairs of the Cullen's main house and ran to the door. "Come on! Let's go people! The concert is in Seattle and we don't wanna be late!"
Jacob just laughed and said, "Somebody's excited for a benefit concert."
Then he turned around and he kissed Nessie when I started making gag sounds. I felt a smack to the back of my head by Leah.
Then I calmly said, "Well all the procceds do go to helping find a cure for cancer."
Jake had nothing else to throw back at me so we all just went outside, piled into a limo, and headed off to Seattle. What should have been an hour or so drive up there turned out to be only 25 minutes. I looked to see who the driver was. It was Jasper.
Then it hit me. "That's why everyone was so excited the whole time!"
He just nodded as if he read my mind (even though Edward could read it.) Jasper dropped us off at the venue and we quickly went in to take our seats in front row.
"How on earth did you get these great seats Nessie?" everyone asked because she was the one who got the tickets in the first place.
"It was a birthday present from Aunt Alice."
Then we all understood. Alice could get pretty much anything. Then the lights dimmed down and the first performer came out. They were all local to Seattle so most of us didn't know who they were. The first performers were a group of people. They all came out in red t-shirts and blue jeans. Then they started singing "Don't Stop Believing" By Journey (But the version Glee did.)
When they were done there was a women in her 30's and a man about the same age out on stage. Then when the music came on I didn't recognize the song until they sang the chorus. It was "I'll Be There" By The Jackson 5. It made sense that they were singing it here.
After they were done a girl of about 20 or so years old came out. She had straight black hair and her bangs were clean cut. When I looked at her dark, chocolate, brown eyes everything else just dissolved. I felt like all the other strings have been cut and a new one was made. I saw her staring at me in the same way. I knew what I had done.
Then she just shook it off as a performer must and introduced herself.
"Hello, my name is Fernanda Catarina Rosalinda Montoya Delarosa Romirez and I will be your entertainer for the rest of the night. Then she got took out the cordless microphone and the instruments started playing and she started singing. Her voice was like velvet and ran as smooth as honey.
Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
You've got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There's a cure you've found it
Emotions sparks you caught the chills
Now don't deny it
But boys will be boys oh yes they will
They don't wanna define it
Everyone was shaking and dancing around. She was very entertaining.
Just give up the game and get into me
If you're lookin for thrills then get caffeine
Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I go slow
So, if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your head in my hand your heart on your sleeve
Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I fought deep
Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find
To say goodnight
I can't cook no but I can clean
Up the mess she left
Lay your head down and feel the beat
As I kiss your forehead
This may not last but this is now
To love the one you're with
You wanna chase but you're chasin your talent
Quick fix won't ever get you well
Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I go slow
So, if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your head in my hand your heart on your sleeve
Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I fought deep
Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find
To say
Cause I feel the distance between us
Could be over
With the snap of your fingers
Oh no
Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I go slow
So, if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your head in my hand your heart on your sleeve
Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I fought deep
Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find
To say
Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find
To say goodnight
Oh sweetheart put the bottle down
Cause you don't wanna miss out
Then Quil yelled, "Wow! She's really good!" I just nodded with a blank look on my face. "Hey Seth. Dude, you okay?"
That's when I realized I was staring at her the whole time. I blinked twice and said, "Yeah Quil, I'm fine. I'm just a little out of it." Quil just shrugged and I noticed that there was some kind of musical break. It was strange but my imprint was probably changing for her next song or something. That's when I heard her again.

She wasn't dressed as crazy as Lady Gaga but the way she danced was unique. It wasn't like anything I've ever seen.

I looked at Leah, Jake, Nessie, and Quil. They were shocked at how good she was. I was shocked too. Then she sang some Paramore songs, a couple P!nk songs, Carrie Underwood songs, Pussycat Dolls songs, and a couple of Taylor Swift songs. When the concert was about to close she came out in a long, flowing grey and white dress. In the middle was an ivory colored fabric. Her hair was in an updo as if she was at a wedding and she was the bride. She looked up and stared at me and I stared at her. Then she said, "Well, as you all know this is my last song that I'll be singing for tonight. I dedicate this to someone special in the crowd and he knows who he is. I would also like to ask him if he would meet me backstage. This is for him."
Everyone looked around to see who it was. No one not even my friends guessed it was me. They would know soon enough though. Then music started playing.
I see you
I see you
Walking through a dream
I see you
My light in darkness breathing hope of new life
Now I live through you and you through me
Enchanting
I pray in my heart that this dream never ends
I was amazed. She was singing "I See You" By Leona Lewis from "Avatar." Leah and Nessie always said they thought it was the most romantic song they've ever heard. I kept listening.
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
I live through your love
You teach me how to see
All that's beautiful
My senses touch your world I never pictured
Now I give my hope to you
I surrender
I pray in my heart that this world never ends
I see me through your eyes
Living through life flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life
I offer my love, for you
When my heart was never open
(and my spirit never free)
To the world that you have shown me
But my eyes could not division
All the colors of love and of life ever more
Evermore
(I see me through your eyes)
I see me through your eyes
(Living through life flying high)
Flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise
So I offer my life as a sacrifice
And live through your love
And live through your life
I see you
I see you
Then she silently walked off stage and everyone was starting to leave. I suddenly remembered what she asked and ran backstage before anyone noticed. As she said, she was waiting right there. Then she walked to me as gracefully as a dove.
"Seth, stop being so mushy!" I thought to myself.
"Hi."
"Hello"
"What happened up there?" she asked
"I can't really tell you right here. It needs to be somewhere private. Maybe we can go to your house or something."
She just stayed quiet when I asked, "Don't you have a place?"
That's when she replied, "No. I don't have a place. I was legally emancipated from my parents when I was fourteen. I have been with my friend until I found her dead a a month and a half ago."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. You didn't know. Anyways, I've been homeless until about a month ago. Some guy heard me singing at a club and asked me if I wanted to perform at a benefit concert. I said okay and in return he promised me a hotel room for three weeks and yesterday was my last day. My bags are in my dressing room."
"Well, you are more than welcome to stay at my house."
She nodded gratefully and ran to her dressing room to change. When she got out she was in a simple black t-shirt, blue jeans, and some nike hightops. I noticed she was carrying three bags. I offered her my hand and she (again) gratefully took it. When I came to the front of the venue I saw all of them staring at me and Fernanda. I stared at them and whispered, "Ask me about it later." They all looked a bit angry but didn't say a word. Everyone including Fernanda stayed quiet but calm (thanks to Jasper.) First, Jasper dropped off Nessie and Jake at the Cullen's house. Then he drove to Charlie's house. Charlie knew about all the supernatural stuff werewolves and vampires included. So, when I brought my now imprint in the house it kind of surprised him and my mom. They looked at Leah and she just said, "I don't know." I brought her stuff to the bathroom and she just nodded and locked herself in. I went downstairs to face the bombardment of questions. At the bottom of the stairs I saw Charlie, my mom, and Leah with angry faces. Charlie spoke first. "Seth, I know that you have a nice side to you and I like that. But, why would you bring a complete stranger into our house?"
Leah spoke next. "Seth! What's with you? You just meet her at the concert and then you bring her home with us! That's kinda stupid. I mean what if she's a murderer or something!"
My mom who was calmer said, "Seth, just tell us all why you brought a stranger into our house." I was worried about how they would react but I sucked it up and said, "I imprinted on her." Everyone was silent. Then Leah kind of blew up in my face. "Well now I totally get it! You imprint so that means you automatically get to take her home! Well great!"
"Leah, shut up! She has nowhere else to go! What was I supposed to do! Leave her on the streets!"
"Well, I didn't know considering that she had designer clothes on!"
"Leah, she was legally emancipated from her parents when she was fourteen! Her friend that she was living with was killed a month and a half! The dude who ran the concert gave her 3 weeks in a hotel room and yesterday was her last day!" Leah became silent.
I started shaking so I just ran outside to the forest and phased. It felt so good when I was in my wolf form. It felt like I was free to do anything because I just had to give in to my instincts.
"Seth. Is that you?"
I looked around and I saw Jacob. I went over to him and I replayed the whole thing in my mind.
"Oh…well this is kind of akward."
"Yeah it kinda is Jake."
"Well, I think it's great that you finally imprinted. I'm really happy for ya man."
"Thanks. At least three people are somewhat happy for me."
"Leah"
I just nodded when I heard someone else.
"Seth."
It was Leah.
"What do you want Leah? Or are you here to yell at me some more!"
"No, I came over to *gulp* …… apologize to you about earlier."
I was surprised and Jake was too.
"I heard that Seth and you too Jake! But seriously, I truly am sorry."
"Ok Leah. I forgive you. But, that seriously hurt. She's my imprint now."
"OK Seth. We all get it. Now let's go home. See ya Jake."
"See ya Seth. See ya Leah."
Leah and I raced eachother back to our house. I phased back she handed me some shorts. I ran into the house. I saw Fernanda on the couch talking with Charlie and my mom. They seemed to be getting along. When I came into the room they left me alone to talk with her.
"Now that we're alone I can tell you what this" I pointed all around "is all about."
"I sure would like to know"
"Well, Fernanda… first of all I'm a wolf. And when wolves find their soulmates they imprint." She just stared at me so I kept going. "When a wolf imprints it's like the other things that tied them down to earth are all gone and only that one person is keeping them there. Basically, I am supposed to be anything you want me to be. Friend, brother, protector, lover whatever you need me to be I am."
She just smiled. I was confused. "Wait, so you're not freaked out or anything?"
She just nodded no and said, "I'm just glad that I don't have to keep searching for 'the one' anymore 'cause when I saw you I felt an instant connection. I think I might be in love with…what's your name?"
"Seth."
She just laughed and said, "I think…no I know I'm in love with you Seth. Well this is a great way to start a relationship I don't even know you're name the first time I say I love you." We both laughed and that's when I kissed her. Her lips were warm against mine, her breath tasted like mint, citrus and cinnamon. When we came back she looked like the happiest person in the world. I walked upstairs leaving her on the couch to sleep. I went into my room and crashed onto my bed. I kept thinking, "Wow. This day has been kinda crazy." Then I drifted off to sleep.
