Seth POV

I had woken up feeling uneasy, not in a bad way but in way that I was expecting something to happen tonight, I was uneasy with the fact that I didn't know what to expect. I swung my legs over my to small bed and wondered into the bathroom to take a shower. Whilst rinsing my hair I remembered that Quil had promised to take Claire to the ice skating rink in Port Angeles and had volunteered some of us to go along.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist and proceeded to start shaving my face. My face and body was that of a 25 year old, yet I had only just turned 19, my hair had not been cut in a while so it was thick and slightly wavy and I stared at the faint scar that ran along the side of my torso, a reminder of my battle with Victoria and her newborns.

I walked out of the bathroom to the sound of Leah on the phone to one of her friends.

"Yeah well we are leaving at 6, so ill meet you there at 7" I heard her say.

Leah had come back home for the Christmas holidays, she was in her last year at the University of Washington, studying Nutrition. I thought that Leah looked so much happier now that she was at school and enjoying life, I knew that she had dated a few guys here and there, I knew she would always have a spot for Sam in her heart, I knew that Leah did still phase from time to time, so imprinting could still happen, but Lead tried her best not to let imprinting get the best of her.

Leah had ended her phone call and walked out of her room and I was half way across the hall into my own.

"Who was that?"

"Eliza, from School……her and some of our friends were going to Port Angeles tonight, so they are going to stop by the ice skating rink"

"Cool" I walked into my room closing the door and changing into some jeans and a sweat shirt

I worked with Brady at his Dad's carpentry business, this meant that I could work early in the morning to mid afternoon, get a few hours sleep in the afternoon and then run patrol for a few hours at night, today and the next few days were an exception, with Christmas and New Year coming up Sam was being a bit more lenient, so today I only had to work till mid afternoon and then fill in some time before heading to Port Angeles.

I walked out into the cold air heading to by Blue Chevy truck, she was my baby, I had saved up for years for this truck, working odd jobs and used some of my inheritance money to by her. Jake and Emmett had helped me fix the engine and put a new coat of paint on it.

I drove to the other side of town to help Brady lay new carpet on a new house that was being built. I hoped out of the car and grabbed my tool box out of the bed, remembering the day the family came over to see how the new house was going, the look on Brady's face as the eldest daughter walked in, Brady was never the same, Charlotte is her name, her mother is Quileute but had been living in Maine for the past 10 years and had been transferred back to La Push to be the new English teacher at the High School, Charlotte is 18 and in her last semester as a Senior, they have been dating now for a month, and Brady still hasn't gotten around to telling her he is a shape shifting Werewolf and that she was his imprint, he had said that he wanted to tell her at the right time.

I walked into the house and saw that Brady had already bought the new carpet into the living room and was measuring.

"Morning Seth, how's it going on this lovely morning?"

"By lovely, I hope you mean cold and wet" I snorted and put my tool kit down in the hallway

"Of course…….Charlie is coming tonight; she got the ok from her Dad"

"Great….did you pick up her Christmas present up yet?"

"Nah ill do it after work"

Brady had agonized for days on what to get Charlotte for Christmas, finally with the help of Emily and Rachel, Brady had decided to go with an a wooden jewelry box with what look like a wrought iron pattern on it, the pattern was of vines and leaves and on the lid was a wolf with a full moon he inside was lined with red satin material.

"That's a bit unrealistic" Brady and said when he looked the jewelry box in the shop in Olympia

"Maybe so, but still it is beautiful and she will love it" Emily reassured Brady

Brady and I worked for the rest of the day in peace, Brady talking on and off about Charlotte and then I talked about the plans for Christmas day, in two days time. The plan was to go to Emily's for a huge Christmas lunch and then sleep for the afternoon and then go to the Cullen's for a gathering, even though they would not being eating anything, they were still kind enough to put together a Christmas Party, as usual this year Alice would try and out do herself from last year.

The pack and the Cullen's had formed a close bond, it also helped that Jake was Nessie's imprint, we had all started to work as a team and formed a tight knit bond with them. Sam appreciated the talent the Cullen's had and in return the showed us the same respect. I always looked up to Edward, as well as Sam, however Edward was something different, he was the one I saw as someone I could talk to.

After lunch which should have fed 6 we put the finishing touched on the newly laid carpet. It was 2pm, Brady said he was going to head to Olympia and that he would meet me at Quil's house just before 6. I headed to my truck and sat in the driver's seat for a while, I was still unable the uncomfortable feeling the invaded my mind and stomach, something was going to happen but what that something was I had no idea and it was starting to annoy me.

Eliza POV

I had just gotten off the phone with Leah who I had made arrangements with to meet at the ice skating rink at 7; she was going with the brother and some of their friends. I was already heading to Port Angeles this afternoon for some last minute Christmas shopping with me sister Madison and our cousin, Ashley, and thought it would be fun to go ice skating.

I had met Leah at the University of Washington, Leah was in her last semester studying Nutrition, I was in my second last year, studying to become a Teacher, specializing in History, my elective for next semester was Native American History and was doing prac work at the local high school on the Quileute Reservation for a few weeks in April.

Leah and I first met when we joined a local book club, we found that he had similar interests, Books, Sports, Action Movies and the fact that our high school boyfriends and left us for someone else and were completely happy.

Like Leah we had dated guys from time to time, but nothing ever stuck, I was only just 20 and living life so I was not overly concerned that I had not yet found 'The One'.

Once I had finished my conversation with Leah I headed downstairs to find some food. I rubbed my forehead whilst rummaging through the pantry.

"Still got the headache Lize" Madison had come into the kitchen to refill her drink

"Yes and it is the third day in a row and no amount of Tylenol will help"

"That will be fun, to do Christmas shopping with crazy shoppers and having a headache at the same time"

"Oh and I just got off the phone with Leah and I said we would meet with her tonight, she and some friends are going to the skating rink, thought it might be fun" I found some bread and popped it into the toaster

"Who is she going there with?" Madison took a sip of her water

"Her brother and some of their friends"

"Yeah should be fun……what time are we leaving again?"

"Ash is coming at 2, I thought we could grab some dinner in between shopping at the ice rink"

"Sound's like a plan"

Shopping in Port Angeles at Christmas time was a nightmare, people everywhere, little children throwing tantrums, I loved it, I had taken another Tylenol, but still nothing eased the tension in my head. The three of us finished our shopping in record time and were now sitting in a small restaurant finishing off our meals when I noticed the time.

"We have to meet Leah in 15 minutes" Getting money out of wallet and putting it on the table.

Ashley and Madison did the same, putting our coats on and taking the 10 minute walk to the middle of town. We had not been walking for two minutes when snow started to float onto my Rose colored coat. We soon rounded the corner to the centre of town, the snow had started fall a little heavier, but not so it was a bother, the Christmas Tree which was at least 20 foot in height was standing next to the rink, it had its lights on and we could hear Christmas carols playing in the distance.

I started to look for Leah but the closer we got I still couldn't find her, I noticed the tension in my head was starting to fade away, the closer we got to the ice rink I could not see Leah all I could see were these men and a few girls who seemed much shorter and slender, however the men were all at least 6 foot tall or more, which russet colored skin, muscles and jet black hair, the group equaled to about 10 or more people

We got a bit closer when I heard someone call my name to the right hand side of me.

"Leah, there you are"

"Yeah I was just grabbing my beanie, I left it in the car" Leah enveloped me in a hug

"This is my sister, Madison and our cousin Ashley"

"Please to meet you both, come and meet my brother and friends"

Low and behold we made our way to the group of overly tall men, I should have known.

"Ladies, this is my friend, Eliza, her sister Madison and their cousin Ashley"

Hi and nice to meet you were exchanged, I scanned the group and taking in who each person was. Quil was there with Claire, who looked to be around 16 or 17 who looked much younger then Quil however I was one not to judge, Jared and his Fiancé Kim, Paul and his girlfriend Rachel, who turned out to be Jacob's sister, who was Nessa's new boyfriend, apparently they had only been dating for a few months, Brady and his partner Charlotte, but introduced herself as Charlie, Collin, Embry and Seth.

When my eyes locked with Seth's I felt the headache easing and a tugging feeling formed in the depths of my stomach, l felt I should go stand by him. I knew I was staring at him, but he was staring at me. I faintly heard Leah mutter something and the girls giggling but I didn't really pay attention, I was to busy gazing at the person. Seth. He looked to be about 6'5, wavy jet black hair, a five o'clock shadow on his strong jaw line, his dark brown eyes reminding me of melted chocolate, he was wearing dark jeans, and a black parker with a navy and black check scarf. He looked gorgeous and I wanted to know him better.

I was bought out of my trance by Leah handing me a pair of ice skates and told me to stop staring at her brother. Leah's brother, I had been staring at Leah's brother. I blushed at the thought and the fact that everyone else had noticed that the both of us had been staring at each other, however Seth did not seem embarrassed, at the most he smiled, which almost sent me over the edge of sanity and into the depths of insanity.

I grabbed the skates out of Leah's hands and walked past Seth and sat on an empty bench to put my skates on. I wasn't alone for along, I felt warmth invading my side and when I looked up Seth was sitting next to me.

"Hi, Eliza is it, Im Seth Clearwater, Leah's brother" He held his hand out

"Yeah Eliza Brooks…..yeah Leah has spoken about you before" I took his hand and felt the warmth radiating form his hand, even though the both of us were wearing gloves.

We sat their making small talk, whilst putting our skates on. I also noticed that my headache had ceased, and warm feeling settled into the pit of my stomach.

This was going to be an interesting night, but a good one, I could feel it.

I know that Seth is shaving and all but in my mind he is not shape shifting as much so he is slowly getting older and as for his scar, sure shape shifters heal quickly, but i think a scar on Seth makes him manly and sexy ...........I was falling asleep when i thought of these so i just wanted to clear it up now before people questioned it........it has been Christmas for an hour and half YAY happy holidays peoples :)
