Josh's Commissioned Fic. Hope this cheers you up man! :D
Apologies to my beloved beta Lena for murdering her favourite character *hides*
Summary: The forest was quiet at the end of Seth's patrol. Too quiet, if you ask him… whilst waiting for reinforcements, Seth chases a new-found vampire, right into… a trap. Character torture/ death and rated M for violence and bad language. Either a two-shot or three chapter fic, depending on how much detail I go into…
Seth P.o.V.
There is a universal disclaimer in my profile, so all angry mobs bearing torches and pitchforks are unnecessary.
Chapter One – the Chase
I smile, enjoying the smell of the sea breeze ruffling my fur, the sound of waves crashing far below me and the feel of rocks and dirt beneath my large paws. I scan the cliffs, searching for any signs of foreign activity, in particular any sight or scent of a vampire.
I'm a werewolf, a shape shifter. Part of a pack of brothers (and sister) like me. All of us determined to fulfil our predetermined destinies – to protect normal humans (palefaces) from the bloodsucking leeches (the cold ones). My name is Seth.
I am, at present, on patrol. I and one or two of my pack, search our lands, always on code red, ready to protect those we love. I have been designated the cliffs and the beaches, told to scan the sea, ready to alert Collin and Embry – the others on patrol – of and sea-bound blood suckers.
I sense no threats, so I permit myself to sit down for a brief period of time. The dawn is nearing and I'm exhausted. I've been patrolling all night and it's the middle of the week, so I'll have been up for 48 hours by the time I get to sleep again, unless Alpha-Sam decides to give me night-shift again.
I feel the end of my patrol crawl closer, I yearn for the chance to run home and lay on my bed for an hour or so before I have to drag my sorry butt to school. I quickly stand up and awkwardly trot on the spot, feeling my eyes droop and my brain shut off. I'm of no use to the pack asleep, and I'm failing math anyway, so I can always catch a few Zs then. I busy myself by scanning the beaches and cliffs once again, spying out familiar landmarks; the fallen tree on First Beach, the large boulder that looks like and obscene hand gesture half-way down the cliff on my right, the patch of red flowers quickly scaling the cliff on my left…
Wait. That's not right.
I nearly give myself whiplash as my head snaps back to the odd flowers. I look closer, realising that the supposed flowers are, in fact, a floral dress on a beautiful, yet pale, woman with straight, jet black hair. The strange beauty climbs the cliff with ease, despite her ridiculous red stiletto heels. The direction of the wind suddenly changes and I'm bombarded with a foul scent.
Vampire.
I growl, hackles raised and teeth bared, as I realise that this woman is a filthy bloodsucker. I send an urgent mental message to Embry, calling for back-up, before I leap into action. I sprint at super-wolf-speed, approaching the ice cold bitch rapidly. I'm barely a mile away from her when she becomes aware of my presence. Her head snap up and she snarls. She jumps, landing on the cliff-top lightly and immediately running away.
I let a blood-chilling roar rip itself from my throat as I give chase, determined not to let her get away. I duck under branches and leap over fallen, moss covered logs at a break-neck pace in my super-speedy pursuit of the colourfully-clad, cold leech. She glances behind her and I think I see her smile as she sees me chasing her. I snarl, my fangs bared. The small smile widens and I hear a laugh. I subconsciously note that it sounds like a harp, but my main focus is on catching and killing this – admittedly painfully pretty – parasite.
The sun steadily rears its golden head, rising in a slow yet beautiful pattern of colours, bathing the world on splashed of orange, gold and purple. I see the colours reflect off of the girl's skin as it sparkles in the sun's light. I'm briefly bedazzled by her beauty, but I shake my shaggy head, focusing my sleepy brain on capturing the elusive woman.
I suddenly notice that the trees are thinning, becoming sparse and being replaced by houses. We were rapidly approaching the La Push town. I could see the early birds of the rez walking around, jogging and yelling out to each other. I could tell the vampire was grinning. She knew she could blend in better than I could, that the sight of a giant wolf was sure to cause massive panic.
Shit.
The girl visibly slows, teasing me, daring me to chase her, follow her closer to the town and wreak havoc.. I growl, but slow also, phasing and speedily pulling on my shorts. I look up to see the vampire staring. I realise she didn't know I could be human. I grin evilly at her.
"Like what you see?" I jeer, slowly buttoning my shorts.
She screams angrily and runs away. My grin is still plastered in place as I continue to follow her, staying a mere mile behind her, as I have since the chase began.
"Wait up, beautiful!" I call out, laughing at the rush of the wind past my sensitive nose and ears. The bitch pauses and faces me. The vampire's feminine features twist into a frightening frown. She bares her teeth in a silent snarl and takes off again, this time straight through the centre of the La Push Reservation.
"Oh, for FUCK'S sake!" I yell, tearing after her. I chase her quickly through the town, blowing past various familiar faces. I see her glance behind her, her black eyes flash with hunger.
"Don't you fucking dare. I WILL rip your teeth from your mouth if you even THINK about it," I hiss, knowing she can hear me. She screams at me again in a language I don't understand, but from her tone I can tell she was calling me something incredibly vile and damning me to all kinds of hell. And that's the polite version.
I laugh at her, trying to push her into coming at me, letting me kill her. We've moved out of the sight of the town by now, always running, me always less than a mile behind the icy bint. I glance behind me, grinning when I spy no sign of the reservation residents, before turning back to glare daggers at the back of that floral dress.
She looks back, gives me a smug smile, and speeds up. My eyes widen as I realise that she's been teasing me this whole time, staying just far enough away to keep me chasing her. But now she's getting bored…
Getting away.
Fuck.
Thinking quickly, I phase mid-stride, swearing mentally as I hear my shorts shred into a million pieces. Ignoring the torn cloth, I sprint after the speeding vampire, fully aware that she was getting away. The ferocious speed that I'm running at allows me to gain on her, but at a price. I begin to pant, paws slowing, muscles cramping. I slow down again, falling back behind her. She looks behind at me and smiles sweetly.
I growl and use the last of my strength to run at the bitch, moving as fast as I possibly can. The vampire stops completely and turns to face me. I allow a small smile to flash across my fanged features. I jump at her, fangs bared and claws outstretched, ready to rip her limb from limb.
Just as I am about to bite through her skinny neck, the vampire spins rapidly and throws her dainty, high heeled foot into my face. The force sends me staggering, and I feel a burst of pain as her stiletto heels pierces my left cheek, puncturing my flesh and shattering my jaw. I fall to the floor, exhausted and wounded. I glare up at the Asian leech with pure loathing.
The bitch just smiles and kicks me again, this time with enough force to knock me out. The last thing I see is the bloodsucking bitch's leering face before the world fades to black.

A.N ~
Hey guys!
I've finally typed up this bloody story! I've had it hand written since half-way through my other twilight story, My Elemental (I'm gonna be completely self-serving and suggest that all who don't know it check it out please!)
Anyway.
This story is for my good friend and reviewer, Josh. HEY MAN :D
He requested a fic in which his favourite character (Seth) dies, preferably with a lot of pain and torment. He also said that katanas had to be in there somewhere.
This is the result.
Sorry 'bout that.
All reviews are more than welcome (and much needed for I am severely lacking in self-esteem and reviews make the world go round :D)
All compliments shall be rewarded with either internet cookies or, if I have none left, a fic of your own (How's THAT for bribery?)
All flames shall be read and either ignored or used to improve upon my writing style :D
Just until next time
Ja matta
Jerome :D
*N.B. – This fic is unbeta'd, purely because my beloved beta would kill me if she read this :D*
