A/N: After two chapters of an Intro there will be chapters of simple one-shots using the same characters and the same time period. I'm not one for long stories but I love cute one-shots.
I waited anxiously on the edge of the clearing. It was a little past one in the morning. Being alone in the woods was not what I felt like doing at the moment, but that's what comes with being part of Jacob's Pack.
The Pack had gone out to hunt down a rogue vampire that had recently decided to visit Forks and taste the local cuisine. Seth had assured me it would be no problem after all they went through to keep Bella safe a couple of years ago, but I was still nervous. Luckily there was a full moon that night and I could see clearly across the meadow.
I felt the ground vibrate before I heard their footfalls. A couple hundred yards in front of me the Pack slowly came into view. I could see their bodies but I couldn't distinguish anyone besides Seth with his bright sand-colored fur. He was toward the front of the Pack and I knew Jacob would be in the lead. I could see Leah's smaller figure loping behind Seth.
I stood up and stretched my legs after sitting for half an hour. I raised my arms into the air to stretch them as well. The Pack was walking nearer and I heard Seth's clear yip across the meadow. I saw Jacob's figure nod and Seth started to trot towards me. I smiled when I saw his wolf-grin. I walked forward.
"How did things go?" I asked the giant wolf in front of me.
Seth simply barked happily and pranced around in circles.
I laughed. "I guess that means you got him?"
Seth nodded and wagged his tail. Then he leaned down on his forepaws and cocked his head to the side, whining.
"I'm fine, don't worry." I reassured him, putting my forehead to his so that our eyes were level. "It's a bit chilly, but I'm ok."
The rest of the Pack had arrived. I could see Quil and Embry slump onto the ground, panting. Jacob sat down and looked over everything, his eyes alive and his tongue lolling out of his mouth.
Leah walked over to sit with me and Seth. She looked at her brother and woofed. Seth whined back and rolled his eyes at her. Jacob looked over at the two of them and I heard a rumble in his throat that was a wolf's laugh.
I thought it was amazing how the wolves could communicate between their minds. Seth turned to look at Jacob and I knew they were talking through their minds. Leah turned to look at Seth and she rolled her eyes. Jacob nodded as he stretched his longs legs. Seth turned back to me and nudged me onto the ground gently, meaning to stay there. Then he ran off into the woods to phase back. A couple of minutes later Seth came walking back in a pair of cutoff shorts but no shirt or shoes, as usual.
I stood up and brushed the dirt off of my butt.
"I didn't know it was so cold out tonight, sorry." Seth apologized.
"Don't worry about me, silly." I smiled.
"Whatever. Hey Leah, are you sure you don't wanna phase back and walk with us?" he asked the large gray wolf to the left of us.
Leah snorted and turned tail to run off towards their house through the woods.
"I take it she said no?" I asked, laughing.
"Yup. How'd you know?" he said, waving to his pack-mates. They all woofed a good-bye. We began walking into the woods towards his house.
"Oh, I'm a lucky guesser." I said, taking care not to trip over a fallen log. "So can I crash at your house tonight?"
"Of course! Mom loves you to death." Seth laughed.
"Well my mom loves you, too. Dad even likes you." I put my hand to my mouth in fake shock. "He says you're good for me. He likes whatever makes me happy nowadays since my depression has gotten worse."
Seth grabbed my hand and swung it back and forth between us as he smiled. "Well I try my best, you know. God, your hand is cold!"
"I'm fine, ok? You're just extra sensitive since you're a bazillion degrees warmer than me in the first place."
"Ok, maybe you're right." Seth shrugged, giving in.
I laughed. "Dad says he likes the fact that you care about me. Like, you seriously care about me. You always want what's best for me. He says it's almost unnatural."
"Ha, yeah." Seth said, laughing quietly. He looked a bit guilty. Or was he nervous?
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked, stopping to look at his face.
He instantly brightened. "No, no way! Sorry, I was spacing out. That's all." he smiled at me and my heart melted.
"Ok then. You looked kind of guilty or nervous or something." I said, raising my eyebrows as we continued walking.
"Nah, don't worry."
His house came into view as we walked out of the trees. The kitchen light was on in his cabin-like house and I saw Leah's silhouette moving about. We walked up the front steps and took off our muddy shoes. Sue Clearwater liked to keep her house clean despite having two werewolves for children. Seth opened the door for me and he followed me into the kitchen.
Leah was sitting at the kitchen table with a mug of coffee and she was glaring at Seth. It wasn't her worst glare, but a glare that she used to communicate she was greatly displeased. Leah was a nice person, but her sharp tongue and hateful view on some things made her very formidable at times.
"Uh, what's up Leah?" Seth asked, digging in the fridge for something to eat. He was always hungry, especially after running around in wolf form.
"Look, I'm sorry for cornering you like this but I think you're being very unfair to Alicia. Why haven't you told her yet? What could you possibly be waiting for?" Leah asked exasperatedly.
Seth shut the fridge and grinned nervously. "I...uh...well...I dunno."
"You don't know?" Leah asked, trying to hide a smile as she rolled her eyes.
"Uh, what's going on? Is there something I should be worrying about? I mean, you guys can work out your issues with whatever but I think I deserve to know if it's dangerous or something." I said nervously.
"It's nothing bad or dangerous, but it does involve you and I don't see why he's so worried." Leah said, crossing her arms and looking at Seth. "He must not have any faith in you."
I looked over at Seth and raised my eyebrows. I knew Leah was baiting Seth but there was obviously something going on and it was becoming quite amusing.
"You know, you can be such a pain in the ass." Seth sighed, leaning onto the counter.
"That's my job." Leah smiled.
A/N: More short chapters to come. Just a little idea I thought of using my two favorite Twilight characters. It's not really going to have a plot but it will have little sweet and fluffy scenes between Seth and Alicia. It's purely for entertainment and for my friend, Ariana. Hope you like it.
