Being With You
(This story is for the MOR challenge with the imprint Seth. I hope you like it ;)
? POV
I sighed as I got up from my bed. Well it wasn't actually a real bed. It was a bunch of blankets piled together because my bed hadn't yet arrived to my new house. I just moved from Ohio to this boring town called La Push in Washington. This place was filled with rain and the only good thing about it was that the forest had wolves. Yes wolves.
My name is Alex Wolfe (ha!) and I love wolves. They are my favorite animal and I just love everything about them. I'm also fourteen if you wanted to know. But usually no one wants to because I'm the really shy types that barely speak in school. Today was actually the first day of school for me, but actually it was January here. "Alex get up! School starts in twenty minutes!" my little sister of the age of five yelled up to me and I groaned. Twenty minutes was how long I took in the shower. I rushed into the shower and five minutes later I looked at my reflection in my mirror. I had brown hair with silver eyes and an average body with a blue Hollister t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and some checkered converse.
I ran from the bathroom and grabbed a piece of toast before running out of the house with my back pack to school. Since both of my parents were at work I had to walk to school. When I finally reached the school I was late, but I could give the excuse of being lost. I walked into the office and grabbed my schedule from this really nice lady. It read A.P English, Science, World History, Gym, Lunch, Algebra Three, and Band. I played the flute and I am not a geek! Even if I was in advanced English and Algebra. Okay maybe I am geekish, but I don't even study!
I walked into English and everyone's eyes landed upon me. Oh great I hate attention so much. I blushed and looked towards the ground. The whole room was filled with sophomores and juniors. I was the only freshman. "Oh hello there. Everyone, this is Alex Wolfe (I grinned at my name) and she is a freshman. You may sit next to Mr. Clearwater." The teacher said and a guy raised his hand. I didn't look him in the eye as I sat down next to him. But let me tell you, this guy was huge! He had russet skin and warm, brown eyes. "Hi I'm Seth. Isn't Alex a guy's name?" he asked and laughed. I blushed and didn't answer him. He huffed and for the whole period, he tried to make me talk.
When the bell finally rang, I jumped from my seat and headed towards Science class. I kept my eyes to the ground when people began to stare at me so I didn't notice the pack of guys before someone ran into me. It felt like running into a wall and I fell to the ground out of breath. "Watch where you're going." The guy growled and stalked away. "Jeez calm down Paul!" I heard a familiar voice say and then a hand was stuck out to me. I looked up when I grabbed it and started to stare into Seth's eyes. His eyes had this look of pure love in them and he just stared at me. And that made him let go of my hand and I said "Ow!" That seemed to snap him out of his reverie and he pulled me up. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Oh I'm going to kill Paul!" he asked a flurry of questions. "I'm fine." I whispered and went into the Science room. Man that guy is weird.
(Seth POV)
Man was I tired after taking a shift last night. I cracked my back as I waited for class to start when the door opened. Why do I feel a strange pull inside of me? I looked up and saw an average girl enter the room and she seemed very shy. When her last name was called, I almost burst out laughing. Wolfe, oh that's a good one. She sat down next to me and I kept feeling like I should talk to her, but whenever I did, she wouldn't speak. This girl is majorly shy. After class was over I was walking towards History when I saw Paul and the rest of the gang walking. I was about to shout out to them when a small body ran into Paul and fell to the ground. "Watch where you're going." Paul growled.
"Jeez calm down Paul." I said to him when he passed me by and went to help the girl up. I only realized that it was Alex when she looked into my eyes and I gasped. It felt like gravity was moving and it was only me and her in the whole world. I was like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time and that made me let go of her. "Ow!" she said and concern and guilt filled me. I hurt her! After helping her up and asking her if she was alright, I walked into History when everything hit me like a rock. I just imprinted.
In History I walked up and tapped Paul on the shoulder. "Do you know that girl you knocked over?" I asked shaking slightly. "No, but she is such a wimp." Paul laughed and then he saw how angry I was. "Well that wimp was my imprint." I whispered so nobody could hear me and his eyes widened. "You finally got your imprint! Good job bro. From what I could see, she was pretty hot." Paul said and I growled at him. "Do not say that in front of her." I said and sat in my seat.
At lunch at sat down at the wolf table (ha!) and decided to break the news. "Hey guys guess what? I just imprinted!" I almost yelled and felt like bursting in happiness. A series of 'bout times went out. I looked around the cafeteria to find Alex. She was just getting out of the lunch line and I looked at the food on her tray. All she had was a hotdog and milk. I can eat twelve hotdogs in a few minutes. She should definitely eat more! "Hey Seth who's the imprint?" Kim asked. "She's the one in the blue shirt and I think she's reading a book." I pointed and the whole table turned to look at her. "She can't be your girlfriend. She's reading a book." Embry joked and everyone laughed. Well I do hate reading. I kept on staring at Alex during lunch and even almost forgot to eat my lunch.
(Alex POV)
At lunch, I picked out a hotdog because the rest of the food, I didn't like and my stomach still had a lot of butterflies in it for my first day of school. I sat down at an empty table and started to read a book. I just love reading. Suddenly I had this feeling like a lot of people were staring at me so I looked up and saw this whole table of huge guys and a few girls's staring at me. I saw Seth in there. That guy was weird and kind of scares me. For the whole lunch, I could feel a special someone staring at me and it was freaking me out. When I went towards Algebra Three, I think someone was following me.
I sat down in my seat and someone instantly sat down next to me. I looked up and saw Seth staring at me. When I looked up at him, I think his eyes had that same love emotion in them and I was getting confused. "Um can you please stop staring at me?" I whispered quietly and he stopped. "So are you always this quiet?" he asked trying to make conversation. I didn't say anything. I really don't want to talk to him so I just started to read. "Okay everyone, I have a project for you to do. You must research Native American Tribes and give a ten page report on it. You will work in partners, but I have assigned them." Everyone groaned when the teacher said that. She started to list names and then I heard mine. "Alex Wolfe and Seth Clearwater." She assigned and I groaned to myself. Not with Stalker Boy.
"Okay while we wait for a computer to open up, why don't we play Twenty Questions? You will play first." Seth suggested and since I didn't have anything better to do I nodded. "Great what's your favorite color?" "Blue." "Favorite animal?" "Wolf." "Why?" Seth seemed amused that my favorite animal was a wolf. "Well I have the same last name and wolves are just beautiful, majestic beasts that are very smart and deserve not to be hunted down and killed." I sighed and looked into the distance while Seth just stared at me. "You are amazing." He said and I blushed.
After school I decided to walk through the woods to get back home when right before I could enter the forest this football player stood in front of me. And by player I mean he plays around a lot with girls. "Hey new girl, do you want to go home with me tonight?" he asked. I shook my head blushing and tried to walk around him, but he grabbed my arm. "C'mon baby let's go." I gasped when he squeezed my arm tightly. "No!" I tried to squirm out of his grip and he held on even tighter. "The girl said no." somebody said and suddenly the guy was surrounded by the huge guys Seth sat with, with Seth shaking next to me. "Let go of her and get out of my face." Seth growled and in a flash, football player was gone. "Uh Alex you better go." One guy said and I ran into the forest.
Did I mention Seth scares me?
I reached a clearing and sat down on a log heavily and reviewed my day. I was rather flattered that Seth protected me, but he scared me with all the shaking and the hate in his voice. And what is with that strange emotion in his eyes? Does he hate me? It must be a game to make me feel safe around him until he hurts me like hell. It happened to me before and I never want to feel that pain again.
A branch snapped and I looked up thinking that some serial killer was out there. I sat shaking as a shadow walked towards me, but then a smile lit my face when I saw that it was a wolf. The wolf was huge! It was about the size of a horse and it was sandy colored. "Hello there wolfie." I cooed at it and the wolf looked at me confused. "Oh yeah, I bet people scream when they see you, but I love wolves and they only attack humans if they are hurting the wolf." I explained and the wolf went up to me and licked my face. I love this wolf!
"Aw your soooo nice little wolf. Or should I say big wolf? Are you a guy wolf or a girl wolf? I think you're a guy wolf because of your size, but I don't really want to check like a female wolf would." I giggled and the wolf looked at me strangely. "Oh sorry, my mom says I have a weird sense of humor and I don't really speak at school because I'm way too shy." I said and the wolf smiled. Well at least I think he smiled. "Okay since we have time, or I do at least, I'll tell you about something." I paused to take a breath.
"Okay there was this really creepy guy at school named Seth. Don't whine until the end. He just kept staring at me and trying to talk to me which is really weird because no one usually wants to talk to me. Anyway, he protected me from this football player, but his voice was so full of hate that it scared me. He always stares at me with this strange emotion in his eyes and I never saw it before. Seth scares me. And I think he might try to hurt me on the inside, but I don't want to feel the pain of a broken heart again. I'm not telling you that story, but I will show you this." I pulled back my bangs on my forehead and showed the wolf my scar.
I had a rather large scar that goes along my forehead and is so pale that no kind of makeup could cover it.
The wolf whined when he saw it and licked my face. "Oh it's okay little wolf. The scar doesn't hurt even if the memory does." I rubbed his back as a few tears slipped out which he licked up. "Do you want to know what cheers me up? I play my flute." I said and picked up my flute case. Good thing I remembered to bring it back from school. I assembled the pieces together and started to play a song I knew from heart. It was actually a song that I wrote myself when my heart was broken and it was really depressing, but it calmed me. The wolf sighed and laid his head on my lap. "Oh crap I got to get home! Thank you wolfie for your company." I put the flute back and ran out of the forest.
That wolf may be the new love of my life.
(Seth POV)
The new love of my life, my everything, hated me. Well actually she was scared of me and she thought I hated me, but I feel so terrible. If not speaking or looking at her made her happy then I'm not going to do it even if it killed me. When I saw those scars on her head I wanted to kill whoever did that to her so bad. And somebody broke her heart! How I yearn for her so.
"Stop the Shakespeare talk!" Leah yelled at him. "That wasn't Shakespeare! I just imprinted and you aren't making it any better." I said and started to think about Alex. Her scent, her face, even the way she talked. "You're making me sick of this girl and I haven't even met her yet! I have an idea if you want to make her happy and get out of my hair. Just find her house and welcome her to La Push. You can even bring food, but I bet you would eat it before you got there." Leah suggested and my heart leapt at the thought.
"That's a terrific idea! Come on!" I yelled and started to tug on her neck fur. "Why do I have to go?" she whined. "Because you're my big sister and you would do anything for me. Also being her friend might make you be less of a b-"I was cut off when she smacked me with her paw. "Don't even say it. Just go." She sighed and I followed her to where Alex's scent led.
I changed back into a human and was glad that I had brought my pants with me. "If she sees you with a shirt off, I bet she'd die. You should be glad that she lives right next to us." She smirked and my eyes widened when I saw that she was right. I didn't even notice that we got new neighbors, but this is definitely convenient. I ran into my house and grabbed a shirt before trying to get out of the house when my mom grabbed my shoulder. "And where do you think you're going Seth?" she asked. "Uh going to the neighbor's house because I imprinted on Alex." I decided to tell the truth and Sue's eyes widened.
"You imprinted on a boy?" she gasped and I stared at her when I realized that Alex was a boy's name. I actually thought it was such a beautiful name on her. "Ew no! I do not play on that team mom. Alex is a girl and I imprinted on her at school, but she's scared of me! So I want to try to tell her that I'm a good guy, but I can't when I'm a freaking werewolf!" I shouted and my mom stared at me as I got my shaking under control. "I have never seen that side of you before and I never want to see it again. I have a plate of cookies ready and just go before I ground you." Sue threatened and I gladly took the cookies.
Leah followed me to Alex's house and I rang the doorbell. There was thumps and scuffling going around in the house when a little girl opened the door. Her brown hair was all messed up and her clothes were covered in dirt. "Hello." She said innocently and I felt myself melt for her. "Hey little girl, what's your name?" I asked crouching down next to her. "Sam." I laughed when I heard her name. It was the same as my Alpha and it's also a guy's name like Alex. Leah seemed like she was holding back a laugh.
A door slammed and I heard Alex yell "Sammy! Why did you lock me outside covered in mud? And why did you trip me into that mud puddle? Where the heck are you?" She ran up to the door covered in mud and stared at us. She self-consciously tried to fix herself up, but I didn't notice. She would look beautiful no matter what. "Hi. What are you doing here?" she whispered. "Is she for real? Look I'm only here because Seth made me, but if you're going to be like this then I'm out." Leah was fed up and I growled at her.
Alex just looked down and Leah looked at her with pity in her eyes. "You didn't yell at me or anything? You just stood there? Whenever I did that, people cussed at me. I think I'm going to like you." Leah said and I let out a breath of relief. Alex seemed to be smiling a little so I took my chance. "We live next to you so we decided to bring you some cookies." I gave the plate to her and her face lit up. "Thank you." She whispered and an awkward silence followed. "Do you want to come in?" she asked. "We would love it, mostly Seth, but I think there's going to be a little trouble." Leah said and I looked around to see Alpha Sam walking towards us.
That means a vampire was here.
"Leah, Seth there is a little problem going on so we need you two to uh fix it." Sam chose his words carefully when he saw Alex and Sammy. "I can't leave right now! You got to fix that problem by yourself because we were just invited into Alex's house." I growled shaking because I do not want to leave my Alex when a vampire is on the loose.
"Seth now." Same said in his Alpha voice so I was forced to follow his orders with a murderous look in my eyes. I took one last glance at Alex and saw that she looked pretty scared. "Bye." She whispered and closed the door. Sam just ruined my chance with her!
I turned towards him as we were walking towards the woods. "I don't want to leave her! She's my imprint and I don't want her to get hurt!" I yelled at him. "You imprinted? Well that's great, but you two need to help with four nomad vampires that are passing through. It seems like they're going to stay for a while so we need to kill them so your imprint won't be killed." He explained and I was forced to agree with him. So I was forced to work most of the night without finding any vampires so it was basically a big waste.
I could have used this time to be with Alex, but no.
Finally I was allowed to leave and I decided to watch Alex. I know I know that it's stalkerish, but Edward didn't have a problem when he watched Bella. I also just want to see what kind of things she likes so I eased open her window which wasn't locked (a vampire could have gone inside!) and looked around. Alex was curled up under the covers of a bed that seemed to have just got here today and the room was full of boxes and there was a pile of books next to her bed. Man she liked to read! There were like fifty books there! I brushed the hair out of her face and left her room after locking her window.
She looked so peaceful that I never wanted to leave. I love her so much and I will do anything to make sure she's safe.
