Scent

Summary: Everyone…well everyone in the Quileute wolf pack has found an imprint, a soul mate. Everyone except Seth. Seth is slowly realizing that maybe there is something wrong with him, maybe he is just that certain exception. But when a rumor about a new family that looks almost as beautiful as the Cullen's that has moved into Forks, meets the ears of the Quileute pack, could this new family be trouble or could they be new friends?

A big sandy colored wolf ran through the moonlit forest, searching. Searching for something he vaguely knew was there, but he could sense it was there. So he kept running, running and running. He ran almost too slowly, like in dreams when your trying to get to something, but your feet weighted a ton. The wolf kept running, towards the thing he felt was there, it had a magnetic pull, and he just had to get to it. He lept over an over turned tree, and broke a bunch of twigs as he landed. He could hear the leaves crunch under him as he moved, pushing his already tired body more.

The wolf entered a clearing, and stopped. He couldn't believe what he saw. The magnetic pull was coming from the center of the clearing. And in that center stood an animal. It was the most beautiful thing that the wolf had ever seen in his 16 years. This was no ordinary animal, it was a lynx. The lynx was a copper color, with black eyes it seemed. The lynx was feeding on some grass, odd, but that didn't really bother the wolf as it should have. For at the exact moment as the lynx snapped its head up to look at the wolf, the moon come out from behind a cloud and a beam shone down onto the lynx. The light accentuated the lynx coat making it shine a glorious gold color. And it seemed that the lynx's eyes weren't black at all, it was a strange mixture of green and blue, with a tint of silver.

The wolf's breath caught in its throat. Correction it thought THAT is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. He met the eyes of the beautiful creature, and his heart nearly stopped. It felt like everything he was, everything he cared about, was outside of him in that moment. His family, his friends, his life. All of them were set out to lay in front of him like strings, tiny strings. He watched them shred up, as easily as rice paper! Suddenly he felt empty, like there was nothing, like he was nothing. Then a million cables came out and strung together soo tightly, that he thought it'd take decades of work to try and cut it apart. The cables shone in a color he couldn't describe, but he felt whole again, more than whole. His eyes subconsciously locked with the lynx's again and he moved toward it.

The lynx's mouth curled as it showed its teeth. The look wasn't made to frighten, it was made to welcome, as if it were smiling. That made the sandy wolf walk with more confidence. He neared the lynx and noticed its scent for the first time. It was a mixture of sickly sweet, and forest. It smelled like oranges, carnations, roses, strawberries, and then it smelled like pine trees, and moss. The smell of all that wrapped into one should've been a bad smell to anyone with common sense. But the wolf wasn't exactly in its right mind at the moment. For the closer the wolf got to the lynx it felt like he wanted to shout. Shout, jump, run, these were but a few things he wanted to do. He felt happy, like he's never been in his life before. Like if something were to happen to the lynx, then he'd never be able to live again, he'd be incomplete.

The lynx cocked its head to the side, as if it were listening to something. Then it looked back at the wolf, its eyes shining with some emotion he couldn't tell. It sat closer to him and put a paw onto his head, giving the wolf that weird fangy smile again. The lynx stood removing a paw from the wolf's head, and ran into the forest behind it. The wolf tried to follow but was interrupted by a voice.

"Seth. Seth? SETH!!" the voice shouted as he felt something hit his head.

He opened his eyes as a hand flew to his head to caress the sore spot. "Goddammit Leah!!" he mumble sleepily.

Leah was his annoying, older sister she had russet skin and short shoulder length brown hair. She was in college and she had come home to spend spring break with her mom and (she'd never admit it) her brother. Leah walked over to her brother's window and opened the shades to reveal a brilliant light. Seth shut eyes tightly and groaned as the sun had blinded him. He opened them again once they were used to the light and got out of bed. He glared at his sister and she just smiled back and said "Mom made pancakes." She walked out of the room then quickly came back and said "Oh yeah. Jake called a pack meeting in a few hours." she rolled her eyes and left.

Seth watched the spot where his sister had just been, and wondered what the meeting was going to be about. There wasn't anything to worry about, since everything had been great for the last 2 years, he didn't expect it to be much. 'Maybe just a few visiting vampires' he thought. He shrugged and looked around his room. It was messy, he had posters all over the walls of his favorite bands and movies, his clothes were all over the floor, and his sheets were falling off of the bed. He sighed and went over to his drawer to picked up his tooth brush. He made his way to the bathroom, and closed the door. While he applied the toothpaste to his brush he thought. 'Man I need to fix my room. But things have been a bit hectic for me lately. I've got finals to study for and that dream!! I'm always having that dream, I wonder if I should ask someone about it…? No, I mean I've had weird dreams…oh well I'm sure it'll just go away.' he finished brushing his teeth and looked into the mirror. He had the same russet skin his sister had, but a little lighter. His eyes were brown and he had bags under them, from that sleep depriving dream he's been having. A hand went through his hair it was getting longer now, almost down to his shoulders. 'I'll have to cut it soon' he thought. He got a comb and quickly combed through his hair. Feeling satisfied with his hair, he left the bathroom and into the kitchen.

His house was small, so the kitchen acted like a dining room too. He saw the pancakes his mom left on the table and ran over to them. He smiled a bit, his mom knew pancakes were his favorite. He marinated the pancakes with syrup, before he ate them. He finished quickly and washed his dishes, going over to the Living room where Leah sat watching t.v.

"Hey, where'd mom go?" he asked her flopping onto the couch.

"She went grocery shopping" Leah replied not taking her eyes off the t.v.

"oh…'kay then." he mumbled staring at the t.v. too before he noticed it was the news. 'Bleh!! How can people watch this?' he thought sourly. He watched it for a while but decided that he couldn't take it anymore. So he got up and left for his room. One quick look around and then he sighed again. 'Can't put this off anymore I guess. I don't know when the meet's going to start, so I might as well do something. Besides it'll make mom happy.'

The boy walked over to his bed, crawled over it and putting the sheets back into place. He left the blanket alone. Seth was one of those people that thought it was pointless to fix the entire bed, when he was just coming back to it later.

He stared at the floor for a few minutes, having a mental fight with himself. Then got onto his knees and started piling the clothes into two piles. He had lost the fight. One pile was for dirty clothes, the other was for clean. He didn't really know which was which so he piled them together and picked them up. Walked into the hallway again, and went down the stairs to the laundry room. He threw the clothes into the wash and started it, while he applied some detergent into it. Walking back up the stairs he went to the broom closet and got out the vacuum. He carried it into his room and plugged it into the wall. Quickly scanning the floor for any pennies. He found none, so he started the vacuum and vacuumed his room.

By the time he was done drying his clothes he heard a howl for the meeting to start. He pulled on a pair of clean black jeans and a green shirt, before leaving the house with Leah behind him. They jogged into the forest behind their house and undressed as the ran. Seth and Leah, tied their jeans up with a strap on their legs, and tossed their shirts. They both fell forward as a warmth ran through their bodies. Feeling their bones realign, it stung a little at first, it always did. Then fur shot out all over them, and they began running. Running was such a great feeling Seth thought, it felt almost like flying. In their wolf bodies they ran so fast it felt like nothing could stop them, and the air that blew past them made it fun too.

As soon as they phased, they weren't alone. Well it felt like they weren't alone, the "pack mind" as the called it. Everyone in the pack could hear each other's "voice" or their thoughts, also it was very hard to try and hide a thought from the pack. Very hard.

So, Jake…what's the meeting for bro? Embry thought.

Yeah, is it going to be long? Leah said.

Well that depends. If you can hurry your butt over here then yeah, it'll be done fast. Jacob replied annoyed.

I whined a little. I didn't like that they were always fighting, and I didn't really want anyone on the other end of Leah's wrath.

Ok, fine I'll hurry up. Leah said calmly as she raced faster to the clearing where the rest were waiting for us. I watched in shock as she sped ahead of me. I thought that she was going to snap at him for saying that. Leah was soo different now-a-days that I guess I just overreact to these things.

I ran faster to catch up to her. We were out of the forest and into the clearing. The others were just sitting around waiting for us. I felt a little bad, for making them wait. But that thought just got brushed off, as I watched Jake sit up and start to pace around.

Ok, were here now spill. What is this whole "secret meeting" about? Leah snapped.

Well…I don't know how to say it. A new family has just moved into Forks. Jacob replied as he remembered the conversation he had with the Cullen's. The pack gasped in horror, at the thought Jake recollected. The Cullen's were a family of vampires, and our job is to destroy any vampire that crosses into our land. But the Cullen's and us have a treaty, not that that matters anymore. The treaty has been broken soo many times that its now null and void. Besides the Cullen's are our friends now, but the other vampires aren't. They are still our enemies, even though I pretty much like all vampires.

Anyways, the thought Jake was remembering was just a couple days ago. He was in the Cullen's house visiting. Well more like to be with his imprint, Reneesme, or Nessie as we all call her. He was sitting with Nessie and playing with her, until he heard a loud gasp and a growl. Then Alice, (one of the Cullen's) she had short black pixie like hair and she was tiny. Flitted down the stairs to where everyone was. She looked scared with her honey like eyes and her face in a contorted expression. Jake had heard another growl and looked over to the kitchen, where Edward (another Cullen) had stood in the frame, with a lip curled to show his teeth. Edward had messy bronze hair, and honey colored eyes. Whatever the two had seen in Alice's vision, it wasn't good.

"What's wrong?" Esme asked. She was like the mother of the Cullen's. Esme was sweet, and had brown hair with honey eyes. But right now she sported a confused expression like the rest of the family (Jake included).

Alice just shook her head, rubbing her temples with her fingers, trying to concentrate it seemed. Edward just glared for a moment, before he walked over to the rest of the family in the Living room.

"Alice had a vision. It was...fuzzy." He glared at the word. "But all she could make out was enough. We're going to have a visitor. An unusual visitor at that."

Everyone in the room seemed to understand at once.

"Well is it a friendly visitor…or?" Carlisle had said calmly. If Esme was the mother, then he was definitely the father. He was almost always calm, cool, and collected. He was wise and he had blonde hair with honey eyes.

"Hope they aren't" Emmett replied a big smiles on his face. Emmett was reckless, careless and overall just a big fun-loving guy. He had short brown hair and honey eyes also.

"Emmett!" Rosalie shouted as she hit him on his arm. Rosalie was downright gorgeous. She had beautiful long blonde hair with honey eyes.

"So…are they kind?" Jasper asked as he moved to Alice's side, as if he were trying to protect her from the vision. Jasper and Alice were together, lovers naturally. Just not as open as Emmett and Rosalie, but just as romantic. Jasper had blonde hair too and his eyes were…honey like all the Cullen's.

Alice closed her eyes sighing. She shook her head and mumble "I can't tell…I-I just can't. It's too blurry!!"

Jake's memory stopped then and we all knew, we were all alert. Sam and Jake started to plan and everyone was planning too, sharing ideas. I didn't like it. I turned away from them and laid down. My ears pressed against my head as I laid. A gentle breeze blew passed and my nose picked up a scent. I quickly got up, my eyes wide. I knew I smelled that before! Somewhere in the back of my mind, I don't know how but it pulled up the dream I had.

Of course! I thought, and just like in my dream I was running. Running to the thing I couldn't see, running to the thing I could sense.
