A/N: I wrote this last year when I was really into Twilight and Seth Clearwater. I'm putting it up just to see what people think. If anyone likes it, I'll post a chapter once a week or something like that. So let me know.

PROLOGE

The beeping noise in the background was blowing my concentration. I had to make this decision and make it now. I have been burning bridges and splitting people apart all because of this. Why was causing so much trouble with this? They say everything happens for a reason. Why did this have to happen? Everyone was depending on me right now. I had to say something soon. I took a huge deep breath before finally stating my answer.

CHAPTER 1
IN THE WOODS

One thing I remember about the day was how cold it was. It was the end of April, and it was fifty degrees, which isn't surpsing for La Push. It's in Washington enveloped with rain and clouds all year long. Another thing I remember is earlier on that day, I was hanging out Jacob, his soul mate, Renesmee Cullen and Brady. Jacob and Brady are a part of the quilette pack along like me. Renesmee is Bella and Edward's daughter and she lives with the rest of the Cullens.

So anyway, we were outside Jake's garage, not talking. Renesmee was on Jake's lap, she kept blowing the white fluff of dandelions and kept getting them in Jake's face. Then he tickle her and she laugh like crazy. Renesmee is less than a year old but she looks about ten now. One of the things about being half vampire half human I guess. You'd think Brady and I would be annoyed, but we weren't. At least I wasn't. Jacob used to be in love with Bella, but she married Edward and had Renesmee and he imprinted on her. So I'm okay with them acting like that because he deserves it after all he's been through with Bella and all. Besides, me and Brady are used to it 'cause Quil (another member of the pack) imprinted the leader Sam's fiancée's niece Claire whose three. So we've gotten used it by now and we're cool with it.

Anyways, just as you would think Renesmee was getting bored with this little game she was playing with Jake but she wasn't for whatever reason. Then Brady said he had great news. Nessie blew the last of the fluff of the dandelion without getting it in Jake's face. "'Kay what is it, Brady?" I asked. He took a deep breath as if he was nervous, then, it was out there. "I found her."

We didn't have to ask who her was. We knew he found his soul mate, the one we would imprint on. Most of us in the pack have. Except me and my older sis, Leah. She and Sam were together for a while until he met Emily, our second cousin. Now their wedding will be this summer. Only thing is Em has scars on her face where Sam got mad and lost it for a milli-second. But it kind of shows that she's a strong person and it makes her herself.
"That's awesome, Brady." Jake said. "Congratulations." Ness said. She usually will put her hand on you to show you how she feels; she can explain more that way. She must've been excited. All I could say was "Who?"

"Her name is Giselle. She's thirteen too; she's got shaggy black hair and these deep green eyes…" He went on and on about her but I wasn't listening. I was happy for him and all, but all I could really think about was if me and Leah would ever imprint on someone. I'm not sure if Leah wants to after the whole Sam incident. But I do. A little anyway. Seeing how Quil doesn't mind when Claire makes him play dress-up with her, or how Jake'll go hunting with Nessie when she gets hungry, 'cause they love them. It makes you wonder if there's anyone out there for you.


After I went home, I needed time to think. Chief Sawn, Bell's dad stays with us but he's at work, Ma was probably out shopping and who knew where Leah was. To clear my mind, I went for a walk, just not in my wolf form though. I had nothing but me shorts and sneakers on, but that's basically all you need to wear when you're 108 degrees. There's a woods in the back of our small cape cod styled house, so I followed the path my dad made a few years ago.

I don't know how long I walked. It was a while. I thought about how so much of the pack have found their soul mates and are happy and everything. I thought how I haven't and how Leah must feel knowing she will soon witness her second cousin betray her by marrying Sam. I also thought of how my dad would feel about all this. My Dad, Harry Clearwater, had a heart attack last year. Ma took it the hardest. She could hardly go to the funeral. Her first love, gone. For a good month, I thought of death and where my Dad is right now. I hope he's somewhere in Heaven like you're suppose to go. I wondered if he would mind me getting so caught up in this whole imprinting thing.

It was starting to get dark now. I thought of heading back. Ma would be making dinner by now. But I wasn't ready to go back yet. I kicked a pile of leaves, listened to them ruffled as they went into the air and came back down. Then I heard something like that again. Worried, I did it again and looked up. The sound stopped for a few seconds, and then it started. Someone was running away. Was it someone from the pack? One of the Cullens? Or worse, another vampire? I followed the sound, but it just got faster. I thought of changing into my wolf form, but decided to wait to see who it was. I was fast enough anyway.

As I got closer, I saw a brunette ponytail flapping back and forth, a black thing sweat shirt and jeans. I went a little faster, and try to grab whoever it was to make them stop. But as I did, they screeched and fell to ground. And I went along with them.

The person curled up in a ball with their face covered, full of fear. I could tell now this person was a young girl. "Whoever you are, leave me the hell alone, I don't have anything!" A muffled cry came out from under the hands. "I'm not gonna hurt you." I reassured her. "Yeah right. What are you? Some kind of pedophile?" She asked me. "No. Just a teenage boy."

The stranger uncovered her face. Her eyes were a blue with speaks of green, but they weren't hazel. Her lips with a soft pink and she had a tear on her left check. I must've given her a good scare. "Who are you?" Her voice was shaky even though she knows knew I wasn't a perverted old man. "Seth Clearwater." I replied.

"Well, stay away from me! That's probably not your real name. Why the hell do you not have a shirt on?" Her voice was still angry, but I remained calm. "Relax. I got hot, it's fine. And that is my real name. Do I have to show you my birth certificate?" "No. why are you even out here? Its dinner time, shouldn't you be stealing food from a garbage can?" Jees, she had an attitude. "Why are you out here?" I asked.

"I asked you first."

"I asked you second."

She gave me a pathetic look. "Fine. My dad made this path a few years ago and I took a walk to think. That's all. I'm not some creeper." I told her trying to be as straight forward as possible. She looked like she was trying to figure it all out, like I was speaking another language when I said it. "You gotta believe me! Now you have to tell me why you're out here."

"No." She said sounding like a little kid. "Come on, I told you." "No." "Fine, just tell me your name."

"Amanda Hug-and-kiss." She said.

"Funny. I told you mine. Besides, I have a right to know who you are if you're on my property." I was kind of lying, I wasn't sure if we were still on my property. "Fine. You want to pry into my life. Fine. I'm Adelaide Johnston. I just moved here so I'm trying to know the area. Happy?" She didn't sound happy.

"Dandy. Do you know your way back?" I asked her. "Why? So you can follow me home every day and watch my every move?"

"No! Why do you try to make everything complicated? I'm just trying to help. You don't have to be a bitch about it." Oops. That was a huge mistake. I was just losing my temper, which turn into something bad if this kept going on.

Adelaide's face filled with shock. Then anger. Next… she slapped me. Across the face. I was angry for a split second, then thought of what could happen, and how she would react. And how lucky she was she didn't run into Paul, he has a short temper. I just tried to be mature and said, "Look, all I'm trying to do is help. You don't want it, fine. Be lost." Then I started to walk away. It took about 20 seconds before she ran up to me and turned me around.

"Hey, you're hot. What are you? Hundred and twenty degrees?" "No." was all I said. "Listen, sorry I was being a bitch back there. Anyway, can I just borrow your cell phone and then just let me wait at your driveway so I can get picked up?"

"Yeah, sure." I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and handed it to her. She dialed the number and quietly talked into it. I respected that even though it was a little strange. She hung up and handed it to me. "Alright, just take me to your driveway. Someone's picking my up in fifteen minutes."

"Alright." So I lead her out of the path and to the end of my driveway. "There. You can just wait here by yourself or if you want, I can stay with you." I told her. "No. I'm fine. Thanks." "Alright, bye." I said and walked inside. Some of the lights were on, and by now, there was a little bit of the sun out. Everyone was probably finished with dinner now and they'd all want to know who that girl was.

As soon as I shut the door, Leah came down the stairs, and she was not happy. "Seth, where the hell have you been? You almost gave Sue a heart attack, and Chief Swan was going to go out looking for you!" So much for a hello. "Relax, Leah. I just went for a walk; I needed to clear my head."

"Really, then who's that tramp outside on our driveway?"

"A girl who got lost in the woods, she's waiting for her ride. Calm down."

"Wait till I tell Mom that." Leah said and went back upstairs. I heard the TV, a football game. So Charlie was here. I went to the living room, and he was sitting on the couch. Charlie lives with us so he wouldn't have to be alone, but sometimes he still feels like a guest. I try my hardest to be polite to him. "Hey, Seth, anything wrong?"

"Nope. I went for a walk and ran into a lost girl. She's waiting for someone to pick her up." I replied. Charlie looked out the window, Adelaide was gone. "Must have gotten picked up." He said. "Yeah I guess."

"Well, Sue put some leftovers in the fridge if you want any." Charlie said. "Thanks, I'm not hungry right now though. Maybe later." I answered. "Alright." And then Charlie went back to the game. I went upstairs to my room, but then, Ma came out. "Seth, where were you?" She asked. I repeated my story once again and told her not to believe a word Leah said. That was good enough for her. She let me go to my room.

I worked on this skateboard I was working on. I don't know why I was making it, I don't skateboard. Maybe Collin or Brady would want it. Then my phone buzzed and it was Collin. "Hey ya, Seth you hear about Brady?" Collin and Brady are both thirteen and the youngest of the pack. They kind of look up to me in a way, its okay. "The whole pack probably knows by now." I answered. "Yeah well, he's just excited and all ya know?" "Yeah." "What's wrong with you? You're acting like Jake was when he was love sick for Bella."

"Nothing, Collin, I'm fine. I'm just busy, bye." And I hung up. That was just like Collin, he would tell you about Brady's news even when Brady already did because he didn't have any news. I don't know why. It could be because Collin and Brady are thirteen, the youngest of the pack and they felt they needed something to make them look cool. I probably would too though, but I'm the second youngest. With nothing else to do, I went to bed. Last night, I hung out at the Cullen's house with Jake so I didn't sleep.

I'm used to it though. I've spent a few days without a wink of sleep from things such as killing vampires or paroling the Cullen's house. Another thing is Jake used to hate even thinking about the Cullen's now he has Renesmee and he and Edward get along, so everything's cool.

And I'm pretty happy with it to because I'm friends with both Edward and Jake, and I don't want Jake hating Edward because Bella choose him instead. But, it still was weird being around Nessie and Jake because they are together (well not yet, but Jake imprinted on her so they will end up together) and I'm still looking.

Not wanting to stay up all night thinking about it, I decided to sleep on it.
