1. And The Stars Alined

Chapter 1: And The Stars Aligned

(Seth's p.o.v)

ONCE UPON A TIME …There was teenage werewolf named Seth Clearwater. He fought, and killed vampires. (Or bad ones anyway, his best friends Edward and Bella Cullen were vampires. See the Cullen's are what you would call "vegetarian" vampires.) And if you didn't count that he could explode into a raging ball of fur he was pretty much, give or take, your typical nineteen year old. So why should a terrible fate such as going back to high school, and looking twenty five befall him? Because Her Excellency Sue said so…

Yep, that's me. Seth freakin' Clearwater. Sorry just in a bad mood.

Let's start over. Hi, I'm Seth Clearwater. And I'm going back to high school.

No, no, no. Let me rephrase that; summer school. La de freaking da! Since the Renesmee "War" I hadn't gone back to high school. That was four or five years ago. Yeah, waaay behind.

So, see I have an honest to God reason. Here, let me give you a clearer view:

My Flashback:

I was sitting on the couch drinking a beer, and watching baseball.

Then my mom, Sue, comes stomping in the living room ", Seth Markus Clearwater get your lazy ass off the couch, and give me that beer!"

Then, she took my damn beer!

"Hey, give that back!" I yelled turning off the game. Then she gave me

"Hey, give that back!" I yelled turning off the game. Then she gave me the "mommy look". The look that Emily, Rachel, and Kim gave their children. That look that said "oh hell no".

"Do you realize that Fork's Police Chief Charlie Swan is my fiancé, and you're two years underage?" she asked pouring out the bottle of beer I just opened.

"Okay,

'Forks Police Chief Charlie Swan' is entirely too long of a title.

And

My awesome wolfish powers burn off the effects of alcohol!" I yelled.

Sue turned to me and gave me the "oh hell no" look.

Then her expression softened. I believe my exact thoughts were "oh shit!"

"Sethy?" asked Sue in a sugar coated tone I immediately distrusted. See, the last time she used that voice, last summer, I had to build her a "serenity garden". I got just the opposite of serenity.

"Yeah?" I asked wearily as she sat down beside me.

"Don't you want to do something with your life?"

Gee, mom I only own half of Black and Clearwater oh, I'm also a werewolf. Yeah, my life is soooo empty! I thought.

I looked at her weird ", Why?" I had this nagging suspicion this wasn't gonna end well.

She beamed ", You're enrolled in Fork's summer school!"

"What in the-"

Sue cut me off ",You had better finish that with world!"

",Hell! H-E-L-L!" And that is NOT what I wanted to say! Try a certain word that starts with F.

"It's either go to summer school or live with I don't know, Jacob!" yelled Sue.

"What about the shop Jake and I own? What about patrol? I mean did it just, maybe, I don't know slip your mind that I was a werewolf ?" I screamed jumping of the couch.( I would be sitting in my video game recliner but I caught Charlie and Sue making out in it, and they're in like their forties or fifties so yeah….gross)

"Where are you going?"

"Phase, and run to…I don't know…Vancouver!"

And here we are a month later in my own personal hell ( I wish I were being sarcastic.)

I felt this tug toward remedial Biology, and followed it.

(I had no idea what I was getting into.)

As I walked into the classroom my eyes caught some vibrant green ones. I felt something in side me pull towards her. I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

And holy shit! I imprinted! Play it cool Seth, be cool.

I walked over to the girl who had by now turned back around, and tapped her casually on the shoulder ", Uh

anyone sitting here?" I motioned to a seat beside her.

She turned to look at me, and tucked a lock of blonde hair behind her ear", Oh, uh no" then blushed.

I sat down beside her, and looked her over.

She had her long blond hair in a sloppy bun, and okay…..Strange. She was wearing pajamas….with aliens on them.

"Hum, hum?" the girl cleared her throat. She had her hand out. (Wow must I look like an ass.)

"I said I'm Ashley, Ashley Coldwhell" (read Cald-Well)

She smelled like cigarettes, chocolate covered pretzels, coconuts, and a thick sweet smell; roses? And surprisingly it all smelled good together.

I shook her hand ",Seth, Seth Clearwater", and looked into her green eyes again. Her breath caught. I didn't know if it was from the electric like shock I felt (did she feel it too?) or my werewolf temperature.

Our eyes locked once again, and this time she wasn't so pleasant. She looked at me coldly, and hissed ",Do you have a staring problem?" I shook my head "no".

Then, she turned away. Ouch! what the hell? My imprint doesn't like me? I'm no expert on imprinting, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to go. It was like my stars aligned. And then… it was like, like a meteor shower rained down on my oh so perfect celestial pattern.

I had to get out of here! I had to talk to Jacob or Quil.

Nah, I better go with Jacob, Nessie's older. "Uh, sir?" I asked the teacher ",May I go to the restroom?"

The teacher waved me off, and I didn't even pretend to go in the direction of the bathroom.

Five minutes later…

I whinnied , and scratched on Jake's window.

He opened the window ",Go away Seth! You didn't imprint!"

Oh, but I did! I thought.

Jacob continued ", Your list of," he made quotation marks in the air ", imprints are Emily's newborn daughter, who may I add is your third cousin. A woman at the pharmacy, and a blond "bombshell" on First Beach. So, Nessie is over and I would like to go now-"

I whined again. Clothes dumb ass!

"Fine! I'll get you some damn clothes!" huffed Jacob. Inside I heard Renesmee ask "Who is it?" I heard a drawer shut and say ", Seth. Who else?" Nessie giggled.

About five seconds later some sweats came flying out of the window. I jumped into the air, and grabbed them in my mouth.

I shimmied them on in a few seconds, and then yelled in the window ", Could you get Ness to leave? I'd rather her not hear this!"

I heard him grumble something about ", Seth Clearwater sure does know how to ruin a day!" but all the same as I crawled through the window Nessie crawled out. (Why didn't we just use a door? You ask. That would be just too dang simple!)

As soon as I was inside I turned ,and shut the window ",Dude! Really! I imprinted!"

Jacob looked at me skeptically as though at any moment I'd yell ",April fool's!" and everything would go back to normal.

Then, he shrugged ",Only one way to find out" with that he phased, and I followed suit.

OH. . Dude you did freakin' imprint. Congratulations! "said" Jacob in surprise.

No shit Sherlock! That's what I've been trying to tell you! Now what am I supposed to do? I "asked".

Hot damn thought an anonymous voice Who's the blonde babe with the rockin' bod?

I noticed the voice as Daniel.

When the hell did you get here? And that's my imprint you douche! I think I have the right to duel you to the death like right about now! I growled.

Chill! I'm here obviously because of patrol! I'm sorry I'll go! said/thought Daniel.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! thought Jacob you have patrol, Daniel. I'd get to it! And Seth, no body's dueling anyone to the death today!

Damn! Thought Daniel Well, guess it was worth a shot!

As you see this little talk was getting us no where so Jacob and I phased back to human.

As soon as I was dressed I threw myself on Jacob's bed.

He put a hand on my shoulder ", Seth. It could be worse. Like when some one *cough, cough Paul, Sam, and Jared* "accidentally" let a picture of their imprint naked slip, and we all have to deal with it. You can be miserable after that happens to you!"

I looked at him ", Why would I ever see her naked? She hates me! My imprint-"

"Who imprinted?" asked a feminine voice. I caught a lilies and rain scent. Oh crap! Leah!

I turned to my sister. Hey, she'd have to find out some time. "U-uh m-m-me," I stammered.

"Oh, that's…..nice" she said clearing away some of Jacob's crap, and taking a seat cross-legged beside me ", Seven down. Ten to go." 17 in all. There were 18 of us.

"You could imprint," I told her.

"Oh, please Seth! I don't phase! And when I do you know I can't get my period! The purpose of an imprint is to pass on the wolf gene. To create more little wolf babies" she said babies like she wanted one so bad it hurt me from across the room "I can't do that Seth!"

"What's up Leah?" asked Jacob, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, uh nothing!" Leah said ", I'm, well kind of, the Beta. I can hang out at the Alpha's, right?"

"Oh, yeah. Um, sure" said Jacob then turned to me ", So back to Seth's problem" he looked at me.

Leah, to my surprise, stayed put on the bed beside me.

"Well, I was- and she was- and….I almost broke a public decency law! And all she knows about me is my name is Seth Clearwater!" I yelled.

My sister burst into hysterical giggles. I should have told her she couldn't talk. I mean when I was eleven she and Sam almost did it, if catch my drift, on the couch while I was sitting there in the recliner a few feet away.

But, I wasn't bringing up Sam. I wasn't that cruel.

So instead I settled for a very fourth grader-ish "Oh shut up!"

"Public decency laws," sighed Leah ", almost broke a few of them with….." she trailed off, and her eyes went to a far away place .Something similar to that look when Alice was getting a vision.

"Okay, well I'm gonna…..go," said Leah, and then just like that, she left.

After Leah was a good distance away Jacob looked at me ", what the hell…?"

"That time of the month?" I suggest. Witch was something I really didn't want to think about.

Jacob shook his head ", Nope. She'd smell different. Ness and Rach always do."

I nodded ", Yeah, true" "Well," continued Jacob ", don't smell it, but I'll tell you what I do smell. Embry."

"What?" I said ", Embry?"

Jacob shook his head ", Never mind. Go back to school" "Fine!" I agreed.

But instead of "running" to school I took my sweet time, and I walked to school.

When I got back everyone was already leaving. (But that was good. I had to get my truck, a beautiful red Dodge Ram SRT 10.)

That's when it happened. I saw, from my place at the edge of the trees, Ashley, pressed up against the home ec. building playing tonsil hockey with some …..some moron.

She pushed up against his chest in a feeble attempt to…..escape?

I was so mad I couldn't see straight. I shook violently,phasing, and let out a howl.

That broke them apart, just enough to buy her some time to escape.

She had seen me in wolf form. I knew that by the wild look in her eyes. Now, the problem was; had she seen me actually phase? I hope not. I'd need to explain. And I couldn't very well do that sitting in the woods as Wolf-Seth

with no clothes once oh ever.

She could see me, her and who ever the hell this guy was could see me.

So I did the natural thing. I ran.

I flew out of there like a bat out of hell. I ran like I was freaking Leah Clearwater! (The fastest of all the wolves that I could think of.)
