*****************************************************************
I sat there with Lyne, who was laying, sick, on the couch in the Black's
livingroom. My best friend in the whole world was sicker then anything.
Dr. Cullen had told me not to worry, but, how can I not? She's so special to
me! Of course, she was special to everyone, but... to me more, she was my
everything, my life, my sun, my Edward to Bella. My ....
***
'What was she going to say?' I thought as I walked into the Black's house.
Lyne lay on the couch peacefully. She looked at me through her long lashes,
" Hey, Seth," She mumbled in that sweet voice of hers.
It just happened, there was this intense burning in my chest, my vision
blurred, and suddenly, she was just more then a friend, more immensely
beautiful than before... Lyne looked more angel than human to meas she lay
there. Even pale, and sick, and wrapped in a scraggy bathrobe as she was.
"Seth?" Her face frowned. "Hey, are you ok? Seth?" My mouth must have
been hanging open because Emily walked by and closed it for me.
She sounded worried; more than worried, distressed. "Seth?" Her voice
was higher this time, and more frantic. she pulled herself up off the
couch, and shook me.
"He's ok, Lyne, lay down." Sam. "He, just, has, you know, how, we, imprint,
well, Seth, has... on you... "
Her eyes widened and looked up at me. her expression was a mix between
horror, wonder, Confucian, pain, love; but there on her gentle features,
there was a sign of distress, and agony.
Something must be wrong, she only looked that way when she was feeling a
lot of pain, or if she had forgotten to take her pills. Had she?
I didn't realize I had asked the question out loud, until Lyne answered, her
voice horse. "Yes,"
She whispered. "I did. For you."
*********************************************************************
More of our pack's members, My sister, Leah, and another, Embry, walked
in then, looking very happy; and pleased with themselves.
Leah was never this happy, what had happened? Something cliqued inside
my head, like a peace of a jigsaw puzzle, that had been missing for along
time. Embry wouldn't, not on Leah, not my sister. But he had; They had
imprinted. "You didn't." I hissed at him, pulling out of Lyne's hug.
The words were slurred; and I was shaking violently.
Embry frowned, and took a step forward. "Seth?" "You imprinted on my
SISTER?! Leah bit her lip. A small growl escaped my lips.
Embry took a protective step forward, and returned the growl. The next
thing any of us knew, Lyne was screaming, and me and Embry were in our
wolf-forms, trying to kill each other.
' What the f*** You Idiot! What the hell were you thinking '
'What ! Seth! I love her! I thought you would be happy for us!!!'
'US!?!' I thought. 'Are you KIDDING me!?'
I curled myself around Leah's legs. It was a surprise she hadn't phased yet.
'She's already been hurt once, I wont let it happen again'
'Is that really what you're worried about? Is that ALL?'
'Is that ALL?! Leah just started to heal from after Sam left her!'
'Shut UP! I'm NOT going to hurt her!'
A sharp pain ripped through my neck. Embry had bit me. "Seth! Wait,
Stop!" Lyne, was he trying to hurt her? Did he hurt her?
"Seth!" She screamed again.
More pain ripped through me over the course of a second. I was being
tackled down, I was going
down. this did NOT look good...
It wasn't good. Somewhere, in the scrap, were Embry had torn a lot of fur
out, I was bleeding
heavily, and he had scratched me across the eye, in which I now couldn't
see out of. At some point, Lyne tried to get Embry off of me. He bit her.
Only if someone gave up, I knew it would stop. I was weak anyway. But
before I had time to even call a truce, I must have
passed out, because when I woke up, Lyne was beside me, we were laying in
my unnecessary large bed. My Lynie was coughing, and she sounded really
horribly congested. She sneezed. I moved my arm to try and put a arm
around her,to pull her more closer to me. It hurt. I was a lot slower at
healing then the others were. " Lynie?" I whispered. Was she mad at
me? Lyne turned around, but I didn't get to see her face,
she hid it quickly in my chest. she must have been crying.
"Does it hurt, Seth? Tell me how much." She whimpered. "How
much?" "Shh. Nothing hurts..." In truth, everything hurt. Every part of me;
every limb... " Do you hurt, Lynie?"
*********************************************************************
Lyne Pov.
"Do you hurt, Lynie?"
The words were hard to answer. I looked up to his worried face. "I-I-I.." He
frowned even I didn't want him to worry for me. "No." I whispered.
"Love, are you ok? Do you need anything?" Seth asked. Worry lines were
creasing his forehead. Seth started talking too fast.
" Are you thirsty, Lyne? I'll get Emily to get some water for you, okey?
You need your medicine? Does your throat hurt?
Lyne? Honey? Lyne? Are you hungry? Do you need-" Somehow or another,
I had to get it though to him. that I loved him- and not to worry.
"Seth I- " Sounded terrible. Like a sick goat, no, make that a sick dying goat
with a bad lung disease, like a chain smoker.
He didn't seem to be listening, he was glaring shadows at the door.
Embry stood there, Leah at his side. Seth looked as if he would rip his
throat out. I reached up to
smooth his hair back softly; A motion that usually calmed him down,
sometimes made him do his loud strange wolfy purr.
His beautiful blue eyes were so intense that I saw Embry flinch.
" What Do you want Embry? If your trying to hurt Lyne again, you better
run." He was in no condition to fight. His right eye had a wring of black
bruise around it, spreading down across his cheek, along with a long cut. I
suspected it was from Embry's claws. Those wounds weren't even the half
of them. I saw Embry bite his bottom lip and glance over at Leah. She gave
him a cold stare, then went to go sit by me. Leah took my hand out of
Seth's black curls, and held it In her
lap, all the while glaring at Embry. "Im, not, I won't, I'm not
going to hurt her, Seth. " He whispered., looking down, then glancing back
up at me. "I-I never meant to! To hurt you, or her! I just, she, got in the way
and, Im sorry I scratched her! Really! I am! I didn't mean to! I promise! Im
sorry! Okey? Seth? I love her, Seth. Leah will be safe with me, and I won't
hurt her. I swear. If I do, you can rip my throat out- I "
"Embry. Please." Leah said, looking down at me. I was turning a sick shade of green. Embry
frowned. "Is she ok?" Seth glared at him.
"Of corse she is, Embry, she's only going to throw up absolutely everything she's ate in the last fue days, I'm
sure she's fine." Seth's voice was thick and dripping with sarcasm. Embry's
cheeks reddened.
"Seth, please." I whispered. He was making him feelterrible. "Stop being so mean to Embry." Another drop or sweat trickled
down my cheek. Someone, probably Leah, pressed a cool washcloth on my forehead.
"Doctor Leach is coming soon, don't worry, Lyne." Quil called
from the next room." Carlisle, His name's Carlisle Cullen." I moaned. I just
hated it when they made fun of my other supernatural friends, the Cullen's.
"Shh, Lyne, it's ok, now, you rest. You are looking worse by the second."
Seth told me. He pressed his warm overheated lips to my ear. "Rest,
Lynie..." I was slipping closer to unconsciousness by the minute. I couldfeel it.
"Seth?" I asked a while later.
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you too, Lyne, we'll get through this together. Okey? I promise." I probobably sounded so coarny, but she nodded, and
sighed.
"Where is everybody?" I whispered. There was no reason for them
to worry. It was just a flu. It would be over soon."Where are Jacob and and
Reneesme, and Emily and the, the others?" I didn't want them to worry
about me. I was fine. Just like I had told them One Hundred thousand
times. "Present." A fue solemn voices called.
"Seth?" I squeaked. "What love?" "Am I dead?"
No...
Carlisle's Pov.
"Am I dead?" A soft voice whispered. There was a shocked silence from the
werewolves.
"No." Seth finally whispered back. I was sure Lyne felt like she
was dying, or dead. Her sickness had already claimed so many people. The
worst part was, we didn't even know what it was, or even how to cure it.
"Lyne. How are you?" It was a silly question to ask. Stupid, really. Her eyes
rolled over to were I stood in the doorway.
"Fine." she breathed. "I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. I feel so fine. " So like Lyne to
try and distract us all, to want to make us feel okey again. Safe and secure
in our own worlds, while she suffered. "I feel fine. I really do. That question
just slipped out. I'm just tiered, probably dreaming..." She babbled on.
"Shit, Seth, Don't worry about me." His eyebrows rose.
"Honey, maybe you should get some sleep, now."
"No, no, I'm fine! Don't worry, Seth! I am, completely and absolutely TERRIFIC! I could run a marathon..." Lyne
exaggerated. And then she passed out. "Right." Seth murmured. "Of course
you are, Lyne... Of course you are..."
The Next Day. . .
Seth Pov.
I woke feeling a hell of a lot better then the last day. Lyne was snoring softly
beside me. There was a note from Reenesme laying on the bedside table, it read:
Seth, we have to go out for a while for some chores.
Jake is with me. So are ALL the others; They INSISTED upon going... So protective...
Sorry about the timing. I woke Lyne up at 3 to give her that medicine last night,
( It probably will help, in the newspaper today, a guy got out of the hospital and he was on that stuff. My Dad will be coming over at
10:30 okey? be back around pm. That way you wont be alone with Lyne. I love you... Say Hi to Lyne for me!
Reneesme. Xoxoxo
So Edward would be coming over. That was fine. What time was it now? It
had to be no less then 9:00. I looked over to the clock. I was wrong.
The alarm clock read 11:26. I had slept in. Great. Lyne rolled over and
started to snore loudly again. She was so cute when she slept.... So peaceful.
Of corse, now, in her conditions, She was a different story to others.
I shrugged, She was still beautiful to me.
"She'll be okey, Seth."
I looked up. Edward stood in the doorway.
"Oh. Hey." I said automatically. Edward chuckled.
"You're pretty worried about her, aren't you?" I nodded. "Who wouldn't be?" Edward smiled. "Alice and Jasper
where worried too, they are her parents, Seth..." I frowned.
"Were?" She's gonna be okey, Seth. Alice had a vision." "She did!?" "Yes. You where in a
black suit. Lyne was there, She had on a long white dress, a gown, really.
Very beautiful. We were there, Charlie, your Mom. Leah and Embry, Jacob
and Reneesme. Sam, Emily, Paul, Rachel, Jarred, Kim. Collin,
Lola, Bradley and Chara, and Quil and Claire. Renee and Phil were there
too." He pondered.
"Esme?" I asked hopefully. He nodded.
"Yes. Esme was there too." Strange, why would I be wearing a suit?
I thought. Usually you couldn't force me in one of those things.
Unless Alice was dressing me. Or if it was a very special event.
"Oh, you would find this VERY special, Seth." He said, grinning
at my thoughts.
"Leah's wedding!" I exclaimed, faking exitement. But Edward
shook his head. "Try again." He said, still smiling. My eyes
widened.
"Are my Mom and Charlie getting married?!"
"No, Seth. Try again."
"Billy's found someone?" I guessed. Edward sighed. Lyne let out a loud snore.
"Do you want me to tell you?" He asked.
"No, no..." I mumbled. What was it? "Oh no. Leah's not pregnant, is she?"
"No." Edward frowned again. "Why
would Lyne be wearing a WHITE dress, and you a black suit, if
Leah were pregnant?" I shrugged. He was going to love this;
"Is Reneesme pregnant?"
"NO!" Edward shouted. "Not in her life! I'd KILL Jacob if he dared-"
"Okay, okay, calm down! Sorry! Okey, it's not Renesme..."
"No it is not." He mumbled.
"Here's your hint. It is only about you, and Lyne. No one else, and farther more, Alice cried when she found out." It took me a
minute. "White gown, black suit..." Edward muttered. "Think, Seth..."
"Mine and LYNE'S wedding! Are you serious!"
"Well it took you long enough. Reneesme. Pregnant..." He laughed
nervously, then smiled.
"Jasper doesn't know yet. Emmett and him are away on a hunting trip. Esme was shocked, though."
"Do most of them approve?" The last thing I wanted were the Cullen's
mad at me.
"They approve of you more then any human. That help?" I nodded. "Yah."
"And Seth, even if we were mad at you, we wouldn't hurt you, you know that, right?" "Yah." I laughed.
"I can't believe it, me and Lyne. Wow." Edward smiled.
"Seth?" We both looked over to were Lyne's voice had came from. She
looked better today. Something I hadn't realized before. "Seth,
Edward?"
"Lyne. Hey little girl." I playfully ruffled her hair. "How are you love?"
"Fine." She sat up, and I took her in my arms. Her fever wasn't so raging today. I smiled. Maybe, there
was hope. Edward patted my shoulder in response to my
thoughts.
"I'll go get you some water, okey, Lynie?" Edward
said, getting up off the side of the bed he had came to sit on.
"Sure, sure." She mumbled. For a second, I wished I could
read minds like Edward could. That way, whenever Lyne
needed something, she couldn't lie and brush off her needs.
Lyne sighed then.
"I love you, you know." She whispered. "I really do. So very much." "I know you do Lyne, I know you do."
Amd this time, she really wasn't hallusinating.
Lyne Pov.
"I know you do Lyne, I know you do." Seth said in my ear, his
hot breath tickling my ear.
"How do you feel on a scale of one to ten, decimals included." He whispered. "And don't lie, I can
see through that." I did feel a lot better today.
"Ten being great?" I asked.
"Yes." Seth said.
"Hmm, ah, maybe, a, seven point zero?" It was true, and I wasn't lying. I felt really good. So much better than before. I couldn't even remember
anything from last night!
"Where is the others? Why is Edward here?" I asked; wishing we could be alone.
"They all went out to do chores with Reneesme. The note said that they would be back around 3:00."
"Oh. Well, somehow, I can't picture Paul doing chores." Seth laughed.
"Me neither. Rachel is probably with them." It was quiet for a minute while Seth sat ans stroked my hair. "You
know, I never had a girlfriend." He pondered.
"Can I be yours?" I instantly took the oppertunity, and I felt his lips smiling ageist the back of my head.
"I was hoping you would say that."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Honest?"
"Uh huh." Seth said, grabbing my face in his hands and tilting me back, kissing my neck.
"Edward's downstairs, so, don't do anything to weird." I told him, as the loud purr-hmm came
through his throat again. "Are you ok?" I asked cocerned. He never was like this before!
"The real question is are you? I have never done this before, please tell
me if I am hurting you in any way, or if you wish to stop." Seth said. "I love
you and don't in any way want to hurt you."
"You're to much of a worrier, Seth. Both you and I know you would never hurt me." Seth smiled.
"You are way to confidant, Miss Lyne Whitlock Cullen." Seth joked.
"You are such a annoying jerk. Do you know that? Seth Clearwater." He laughed.
"Maybe. But really, Lyne, that hurt! I'm not that bad, am I?"
I shrugged, and berried my face in his warm chest, hiding a smile.
"No." I finally answered. "No, you're not, until you convince yourself that you could hurt me."
"Well." He shrugged. "I just want to be carful, I don't want to loose my new girl."
I giggled. "What will Mom think? She's gonna freak!"
"Actually, she already has, alredy knows." Edward said, handing me a cold cup of water with lemon and ice in it.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome. Do you want anything, Seth?"
"No, no, I'm fine." Seth replied, hugging me closer. "I've got all I need." He winked at Edward,
Obviously in account to a earlier conversation. Edward laughed.
"Alright. If you're sure." He nodded, replying with a "I am," then smooching my ear.
"Seth, Edward, how long did I sleep?" I asked, completely out of curiosity.
"Along time. Twelve hours." Edward replied in his velvet voice. "Are you
feeling well enough to go for a walk, Lyne? Carlisle said you should get
some fresh air. We could go down to 'First Beach.' " Edward offered. I
nodded.
"Sure! That sounds great. I need a shower, though." Seth grinned.
"Please, Seth. Keep your thoughts down." Edward muttered. "Go get in,
Lyne. Come downstairs when you're ready."
"Sure." After a long shower and changing into some fresh clothes that I kept in Seth's room, I came
downstairs.
"Here's your medicine, love." Seth said, handing , me two white
pills which my grandfather, Carlisle Cullen had perscribed to me. I nodded again, swallowing them down with another glass of water.
"So, to the beach?" I asked. "You should write a note and leve it on the table
in case Reneesme get's back before us." Edward said. I nodded.
"Sure."
Dear Family,
We are going out to the beach
For a while. Be back soon!
( No grantees! )
Love, Seth, Edward, and Lyne.
Xoxoxoxo 3
I had forgotten how beautiful First Beach was. Seth held my hand as we
walked; and to my great surprise, the short 'walk' turned into a very long
three hour one.
"Hey! You're back! How was it?" Renesme asked as we
walked in the door.
"It was great! I feel so much better."
"Well, you should still rest, Lyne," Sam said. "Tomorrow's another day." I frowned, but listened. I had never been fond of Sam.
But I nodded and headed upstairs, Seth following me. But I didn't want to lay down. I knew if I did,
then I would be tired, and I would fall asleep. What if I felt sick tomorrow?
"Goodnight Lyne," Seth whispered, kissing my ear and turning off our light. He hugged me close to him, and soon, we both fell into our sleep.
***
I woke the next day feeling good. Not great, not better then yesterday, but better then when I was hallucinating a couple of days ago. I yawned,
and something brushed ageist my forehead. I opened my eyes to see Seth
gazing down at me.
"Hey." Great. My throat hurt!
"Seth?"
"How are you love?" he asked, handing me some water. What was the point of lying
to him?
"My throat hurts." I whispered. "More like a five point five, today."
"Oh, my poor girl." Seth cooed. He was starting to scare me. Was he getting sick too? Or was this all part of his imprint on me? I guessed it was
probably just because he loved me, and wanted to protect me, and a bit of
the imprinting thing too.
"Do you want any breakfast honey? Are you hungry?" Seth asked, while handing me my two pills.
"Not really, I'm not that hungry today, Seth." He frowned.
"Are you shure sweetie?" I nodded, then yawned again.
"You're still tired, you should go back to sleep, Lyne." Seth said.
"I'm going to; if you lay down with me." I answered him. I missed him terribly when I couldn't be with him.
"I will." Seth grinned. "I'll be right back. I just have to tell Sam I can't do my patrol today; okay, Lyne?" "Sure, Seth. Sure." I mumbled as he left
the room.
For once, I didn't want to think about any of the others. For once, I didn't
care. It felt a little strange. I had always put myself in a mother-like
position, like Emily, Sam's wife had, and at times, it could be hard.
Especially when they went away for a while, and we couldn't see them,
what they were doing or what was happing. But most importantly, if they
were safe. The boys, (including Leah, who was also a werewolf, and one of my best friends,) always
scoffed, or brushed our 'Be carful's' and other warnings off. Seth came
back a fue minutes later, with more quilts. He smiled at me as he lay them
across the bed. They were warm, Emily must have just finished washing
them. I hadn't realized how cold I was until Seth lay them across the wide
bed. I sighed, snuggling into him when he lay down next to me. Seth kissed
my hair, and pulled me closer. He always made me feel better on days like t
this by merely giving me a hug or kissing me; the pain was still there, but
Seth made it easier for me to cope with it. Especially when he whispered
those word that he was now.
"I love you." Seth whispered against my cold ear, his exceptionally hot breath making it warm again. Seth pressed his
body closer to mine. I felt that he had no shirt on. I wondered why that
made me feel so nervous.
"I love you too." I mumbled sleepily, as I started to, ever so slowly, drift towards unconsciousness again.
Seth Pov.
As Lyne fell asleep, I watched her, hardly blinking my eyes. She was so easy
to watch. Lyne sighed, minutes later, finally asleep. I smiled. Lyne needed
her beauty sleep. Though, in my eyes, she was already, perfect; and if it
wasn't for that fact, she was still sick, and needed her rest. She needed her
rest because she had to get better. Lyne had to get better because I loved
her; because so many people loved her. If she didn't, so many peoples
hearts would be broken; living or not! Including mine. I couldn't live
without Lyne, and neither could she, without me. Other people had been
cured, she could make it! Lyne was strong! She was stronger then anyone!
Lyne could beat the disease, she could do it if we were helping her. Lyne
would be okey, she would live to see the sun rise a million or more times!
Lyne would live to tend to the garden in the yard, and plant roses and other
plants flowers in the spring! Lyne would live to yell at the paper boy when
they smash them all in. The best part was that I would be with her. I would
watch those million sun rises. I would help her plant Frieesia, tulips, daises, and roses in the
spring. I would stand by her while she yelled at the poor guy who through
the newspaper into her flower bed, and make sure, for her, that he never
did it again. We would be together forever, form now to when we died, we
would always be together, and longer. Lyne rolled then, again, closer to the
edge of the bed, I hadn't realized how close she was getting. I pulled her
back towards me, and up onto my chest. I knew she would be surprised
when she woke up. More hours passed, and Lyne was still asleep, she must
be still really tiered; this illness was not helping her sleeping. Part
of mine and Edward's conversation from yesterday came back to my mind.
"White gown, black suit..." Edward had muttered, "Think, Seth, think!" "Mine and LYNE'S wedding! Are you serious!" "Well it
took you long enough." Edward had said.
Wedding... I had neglected to ask Edward when we were going to have it,
although, he would have probably said, 'That's your decision, Seth, not
mine.' I sighed. I could ask her at the beach, on her birthday, she would like
that. She had to say yes, of corse. I had a feeling Lyne would have, anyway,
imprint, or no imprint. I gazed down at the beautiful girl beside me who I
was so very pleased to call my girlfriend. Lyne sighed again, and smiled in
her sleep. It was like she could read my mind. We were so close, though, I
wondered if she could. I could go now, and get the ring. I saw a really
beautiful one before at a jewelry place in Seattle called
Stephanie's. I smiled. She wouldn't even know I had been gone.
Three Hours Later.
I had decided on a small, but beautiful engagement ring. It was gold, with a
white gold solid heart in the center of it, encrusted with a heart shaped
diamond in the center of that heart. Two more bigger diamonds were
placed on either corner of the heart. I would have gotten a ring with more
bigger and more flashy diamonds, but I knew Lyne would kill me, and
possibly faint if I did that. Those other rings also looked like they would
rub and hurt someone's fingers. I knew the ring I had picked out for Lyne
was perfect. Lyne sat up as soon as I walked into our room. I grinned.
"Hey there sweetheart." Lyne looked at me funny.
"What did you do, Seth?"
"Are you feeling better? Sweetie? Do you need anything? Want me to get you some water or something to eat?" Lyne shook her head.
"No. I'm fine. I feel fine. I guess. Better then before, I guess I was just tiered."
She yawned. "What time is it?"
"It's almost three, Lyne, you've been sleeping a long time."
"Why did you go to the jewelry shop?" she asked suddenly.
"What, I never went to - Oh." I said, looking the bronze colored bag I held.
So mush for keeping it a surprise until her birthday.
"You didn't get me anything, did you?" she asked, knowing very well that I had. Lyne's eyes narrowed.
"Nothing too expensive." I assured her. I took out the purple
satin ring box out of the bag, and handed it to Lyne, then sat down next to
her on the bed. Lyne sighed, and opened the box. I smiled. The look on her
face was worth everything. Lyne looked from the ring to me, and back again.
"I promise to love you forever, and keep you safe, Lyne," I
whispered. I took her hand.
"Will you marry me?" for a seconds, I thought for sure she was going to faint, until she swung her arms around my neck
and very nearly strangled me.
"Yes." she whispered in my ear. "I will. I love you, Seth. I do."
"I love you too, Lyne, my little girl, my beautiful feiance."
Lyne smiled at the word, and I felt her tears wetting my hair.
