A Date with Seth

A Date with Seth

The forest was quiet, I had been on patrol for a half an hour, and the forest hadn't changed since I started. I knew I wasn't alone, Seth was with me, but his head was so quiet, and that was unusual.

I walked to the edge of the forest near Jacob and Billy's house. I phased quickly, and grabbed the clothes I kept under a near tree. I was still buttoning my green blouse as I walked toward the old house. I looked to my left and saw Jacob's garage, and thought about going in to see if he was there, but quickly decided not to. I knew he would probably already be at the Cullen's with that baby he imprinted on.

Jacob and Billy were practically family to me. My dad worked with Billy before he was in a wheelchair. When they were at work Jacob babysat me. After Billy's wife died, they moved down here to Forks. Soon my dad's job got transferred and we moved down here as well. But I was only here a week before I discovered I was a werewolf.

I walked in the back door and through the kitchen before I found Billy watching T.V. in the living room. He was in his wheelchair on the side of the couch closest to the front door.

"Hey Billy," I said plopping down on the couch ", how are you?"

"Oh, hi Amanda, I didn't hear you come in. How are you?"

"I'm good I was on patrol with Seth, but I decided to come back there's no activity anywhere." Billy let out a soft laugh, and flipped through the channels. Why was he laughing? Had I said something funny?

"What's so funny?" I asked turning towards him on the couch.

"I was thinking. Seth has been the only one on patrol with you lately. And," He stopped to laugh again ", if you ask me I say the boy likes you a little bit." Now I was laughing. Seth, like me, it wasn't possible.

"You're right Billy that is a little dramatic." We sat there laughing for a while. Soon the door slammed against the wall, and Jake walked in sopping wet.

"Hey Jake, what's up?" I said as he closed the door and locked it.

"Hey Amanda, not much," He plopped on the couch beside me and shook his hair to dry it, "what are you doing here? I thought you were on patrol?"

"Ummm, I was," I replied trying to swipe the water off my face ", with Seth. But I called it quits since its so quiet." Jacob made a face and rolled his eyes.

"Okay, that's the ninth time this week he's been on patrol with you. I'm making my decision, that boy likes you, he likes you a lot."

"No he doesn't Jake." Soon I felt my phone vibrate inside my pocket of my jeans. I took it out, flipped it open, and walked in the kitchen to take the call.

"Hello, Amanda's line."

"Hey Amanda, Ummm, its Seth." I was surprised, Seth, calling me?

"Hey Seth, sorry about ditching patrol. It's just too quiet"

"No, no, that's okay; I needed to ask you something."

"Oh really?" I asked still surprised ", what was it?" There was a long pause, followed by a deep breath, and something muttered in a low tone.

"I was wondering if you would like to come see a movie with me tonight."

I was shocked, so shocked I hung up the phone. I walked to the doorway of the kitchen, jaw dropped.

"What was that?" Jake asked looking at me.

"Well lets just say tonight I need the help of one of your vampire friends."
