Poisoned Depression
Two yeas after Breaking Dawn, a spider bit Seth while he was out patrolling. The venom had slow but severe effects, creating a voice in his head that will slowly lead him to misery, despair, and finally suicidal attempts. Dark Fic.

The First Bite
So far, I've had everything that I need, and mostly everything that almost everyone wanted.
I was smart, the top of all my classes that are a grade level higher than me. I even helped Jacob, Embry, and Quil with their physics, because I already took that class. I was popular among my peers, and there would be girls asking me out. I turn them down though... I didn't want to end up in a Sam-Emily-Leah drama, which by the way, has ended.
Two years have passed since the Volturi's visit, and everything was at peace again. A month after that, Leah amazingly imprinted on this guy named Jason Brandon; she's pretty happy now. A month after that, Emily and Sam finally got married; Sam decided to stop phasing and retire, and so he let Jared be the alpha. Five months after that, mom and Charlie finally started dating, and though they were very slow in the beginning, I think they're working out pretty well right now. Two months after that, Emily gave birth to twins: Sarah and Landon.
Leah and Jason got married three months later; She was now Leah Brandon. A week after the marriage, a nomadic vampire trespassed our territory and Jason phased; he was very surprised. It turns out his real father was Joshua Uley. Shocker. In the end, it didn't matter though. It only strengthen the little respectful friendship he had with Sam to the half-brother level. Leah still loved Jason. Moreover, they could be together forever.
Life had been happier for everyone, I guess.
It was now summer vacation, and I'm gonna be in my senior year, but for now, I have to do patrols around Forks. Tonight, Quil couldn't make it since he volunteered to babysit Claire. Embry took over for him and he was right now complaining.
"Dude, why did you even say yes?" I snapped at him a bit, getting kind of tired of his whining. If Leah was here...
"Cause man, he's my friend, and plus he begged."
I sighed a bit with aggravation; Jacob was going to take over soon in the next two hours. Maybe I can just finish the rest of the patrol to save myself the frustration.
"Really?" I heard Embry said with excitement.
I sighed at this. "Yeah sure, go, get out of here."
"Thanks, man!" I watched him go and run back tot he reservation, and then he was gone.
I let out an exhausted sigh; I was so used to having company in patrolling at nights like these, but I guess things have been busier,or happier for everyone. Ever since Leah imprinted, she was doing patrols less and less. Jason and Leah spent more dates than in patrol, but it was understandable. Moreover, if they were in patrols, it was too distracting...and disturbing.
Jacob has been doing less patrols, because of Nessie, but then again he also didn't want to be an alpha. He didn't want to take up these duties.
I didn't either, but I was still patrolling.
I ran through the border, making sure no leech was passing by. I ran it twice. I was getting faster after always doing patrols for people's favors.
Soon though I hit a giant spider web...with my mouth open.
Oh man, that is GROSS!
I spit it all out, and even though it was tasteless, it still felt disgusting. Man. That sucks.
I heard laughter ringing in my head and I knew how just came in. Hey Jake.
"So Seth...Planning to become spiderman?"
Har, har, funny. Anyways, I'm leaving. Good luck with the patrol! I said as I ran to La Push.
"Yeah, okay, see you around, web-eater!" Seriously?
Once I was close to home, I changed back to human form and I was about to get my clothes, but then I felt pain on my leg like when a bug bite you.
My hand smacked the creature that was on my leg and sure enough, it was a bug, or to be more specific, it was a spider. I watched it crawl away, and I thought that must be the spider that owned the web home that I just ate... for certain, Jacob was not going to let me live it down.
I looked at the bite that the spider left, and saw the redness that was actually showing. I panicked a bit, but then the redness disappeared and the tiny wound closed up.
Okay...I guess I'm good.
I put on my jeans that was underneath the bushes before I walked inside my home. I saw Leah and Jason making out in the couch.
I cringed in disgust. "Ugh, gross," I said and quickly, I ran to the kitchen. Just in time to avoid the flying book.
I looked around for any food available, but it looks like mom didn't make anything. I guess she's out with Charlie again.
I went to the fridge and got out some left overs. Maybe I should just eat at the Cullens for this summer, or until my mom decides to cook food every night.
"It would be better if she had one less mouth to feed."
My head snapped as I looked around, trying to find where that voice came from. It was high, feminine voice and it sounded so...sinister almost? It didn't sound like Leah at all.
I looked out to the living room and saw that Jason and Leah returned to watching TV. Good, my eyes were saved. "Hey Leah, did you say something?" I asked out loud.
She looked at me with a strange look and so did, Jason. "No," she replied.
"Oh okay, I just thought I heard something," I said then I quickly asked, "Can you make me dinner? Please?"
"Nope, sorry, Seth. There are left overs in the fridge though." Lazy, uncaring sister of mine just cuddled up closer to Jason.
"Okay," I said. To be honest, I felt a little sad. I wonder why she wouldn't cook for me anymore...
Again...that voice came back.
"Because you're not worth her time."
I am so. Stupid voice, go away.
"Really? Then why won't she cook for you, but she cooks for Jason? See that left over apple pie? You know Leah baked it for him, and he didn't have to ask. But when you asked, she'll always flatly say no to you."
Shut up! That's not true. I'm her favorite brother!
"Was, stupid baby Seth. Jason's more important to her now than you'll ever be. Same as Charlie to your mom."
I was so mad...so frustrated that I could phase into a werewolf right then and now, but I kept yelling at the voice that she was a liar. Soon the plate that I held so tightly had crack. Oh shit. I quickly started cleaning up the mess.
"Seth, what was that?"
"Nothing!" I yelled. "I just broke something..." I murmured that last part though I'm sure Leah have heard it.
"Oh yes, breaking something was nothing at all."This voice was really pushing my buttons.
Why am I hearing a voice anyway? Am I going crazy? Soon on, I lost my appetite and I decided to put the food back.
I decided to go to my room and sleep. Maybe I've been working too hard...and just hearing voices, or a voice, is one of them tired issue problems.
I didn't bother changing as I just simply plopped down on my bed and closed my eyes...
Soon, I drifted off to sleep with a slight tingling of pain on my leg...
Not as dark as it would be, but this is only the beginning of the chapter.
Next chapter would get a little worse for our Seth here.
Moreover
Guess what kind of spider bit Seth!
