Fernanda's POV

It was about an hour before the concert started when George came in.
"Hey, Fernanda. Just wanna make sure that you're gettin' all prepped up here. Don't wanna be late for the show that you're gonna run after these other people are done."

He laughed nervously. I just nodded and waved him away (in a nice way though.) George was good-natured but he could get a little apprehensive. I loved him like a father all the same though. I picked up my locket that had the picture of my real parents. I clutched it to my heart.

"I miss them so much. I wish they were here."

I remembered when I was 10, I was at school. The principal told me to come to his office. When he broke the news to me that my parents had died of an animal attack I was heartbroken. I was 10 years old, orphaned, and depressed. But when Dave and his wife Allison adopted me I thought my luck had turned around. That was until I found out that they would beat me whenever I wouldn't do as they said or how they said it. So, I had to wait until I was fourteen to get legally emancipated. It was the happiest day of my life when I won the case. I moved in with my best and most faithful friend Katie. She and I paid for half of the rent. But when I came home from work I found her dead in the bathtub. After that I wandered from place to place, looking for clubs that would hire me to be a singer. I barely managed to get by until George found me. When he told me about the concert I was ecstatic because I would have a place to sleep. I looked at Elena, the makeup person.

"Elena,"

"What's up Fernanda?"

"Do you know of a place that I could stay at for less than $20 for a week?"

She looked at me sympathetically and said, "Unless you'd like to stay in the bathroom at the Mc Donalds down the street, I'm gonna have to say no."

We both laughed. Elena always knew how to make me feel better, even in the worst of times. It seems that I've lost track of time because people started arriving at the venue. So I got changed into my first outfit which included a plain white tank top, a pair of black jeans, some mark ecko shoes, and a silver necklace. I was waiting at a seat when I saw the group of kids from the high school downtown. I nodded and wished them goodluck. When they got on stage they sounded like bells ringing in church on Sunday morning. I was nervous enough and with them showcasing their talent made me even more nervous. After the applause I congratulated all of them when the duet went on. They sang "I'll Be There" By The Jackson 5. It was amazing. When they were finished everyone told me, "Good Luck! You're gonna do great."

"Thanks. I truly hope you guys are right."

We all laughed and high fived. I slowly walked towards the microphone when I saw a guy. He was staring at me like he had just found his soulmate. When I stared at his eyes I felt that way too. But, because I was onstage I shook it off and introduced myself.

"Hello, my name is Fernanda Catarina Rosalinda Montoya Delarosa Romirez and I will be your entertainer for the rest of the night." I took out the cordless microphone and gave the band the signal. What was coincidental was that I first think, " Wow, does this guy want to hook up? Nuuh. I don't hook up!" It's funny how things work out. Then I started singing.

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down

You've got too much talent

I see you through those bloodshot eyes

There's a cure you've found it

Emotions sparks you caught the chills

Now don't deny it

But boys will be boys oh yes they will

They don't wanna define it

Everyone was shaking and dancing around. I was happy that people were entertained.

Just give up the game and get into me

If you're lookin for thrills then get caffeine

Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I go slow

So, if you want me I don't come cheap

Keep your head in my hand your heart on your sleeve

Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I fought deep

Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find

To say goodnight

I can't cook no but I can clean

Up the mess she left

Lay your head down and feel the beat

As I kiss your forehead

This may not last but this is now

To love the one you're with

You wanna chase but you're chasin your talent

Quick fix won't ever get you well

Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I go slow

So, if you want me I don't come cheap

Keep your head in my hand your heart on your sleeve

Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I fought deep

Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find

To say

Cause I feel the distance between us

Could be over

With the snap of your fingers

Oh no

Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I go slow

So, if you want me I don't come cheap

Keep your head in my hand your heart on your sleeve

Oh noo, I do not hook up up, I fought deep

Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find

To say

Cause the more that you try the harder I am to find

To say goodnight

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down

Cause you don't wanna miss out

I heard the applause. It was louder than I thought possible. When I bowed, I quickly went backstage to change into my outfit for my other costume. Then the band went into some kind of instrumental. They didn't have to do it for a long time though. I signaled them from backstage when I started singing again.

I wasn't dressed as crazily as Lady Gaga (thank god!) I looked at the same guy as before and then I looked at his friends they just sat there with a shocked look on their face. I kept going.

When I was done, I had to go backstage (again.) I changed backstage into a striped t-shirt, some blue jeans, and some black hightops. After I came back onstage I sang some Paramore songs, a couple of P!nk songs, Carrie Underwood songs, Pussycat Doll songs, and a couple of Taylor Swift songs.

After this last song an idea popped into my head. "Maybe I could send a message to this guy."

I thought this was a good idea and so I quickly went through the sheet music that the band people had. I thanked god that they had the song I was looking for. So, I gave them the sheet music and I went to my dressing room. I quickly put on the dress and had the fastest (also the best) hairstylist I could find. I quickly put on some silver eyeshadow, silver mascara and some clear lipgloss. Then I as fast as I could with high heels on I went back onstage and I stared at the same guy. Then I said my ending monologue.

"Well, as you all know this is my last song that I'll be singing for tonight. I dedicate this to someone special in the crowd and he knows who he is. I would also like to ask him if he would meet me backstage. This is for him."

I saw everyone looking around, I almost laughed that his friends didn't know it was him. Then the music started playing.

I see you

I see you

Walking through a dream

I see you

My light in darkness breathing hope of new life

Now I live through you and you through me

Enchanting

I pray in my heart that this dream never ends

I decided to sing "I See You" By Leona Lewis from the movie "Avatar" because it was a very beautiful and romantic song to me.

I see me through your eyes

Living through life flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

I live through your love

You teach me how to see

All that's beautiful

My senses touch your world I never pictured

Now I give my hope to you

I surrender

I pray in my heart that this world never ends

I see me through your eyes

Living through life flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life

I offer my love, for you

When my heart was never open

(and my spirit never free)

To the world that you have shown me

But my eyes could not division

All the colors of love and of life ever more

Evermore

(I see me through your eyes)

I see me through your eyes

(Living through life flying high)

Flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

And live through your love

And live through your life

I see you

I see you

Then I silently walked off without another word. I looked up to see a lot of surprised faces. George seemed angry that I changed the song but he was happy on the inside because the concert was a success. I hurried to the entrance to the backstage. I decided that I would wait until George said it was closing time. I looked around when I saw the guy in the audience. On the outside I tried to keep my composure but it was hard because inside I was ecstatic. He was still silent so I spoke first

"Hi."

"Hello."

Out of curiosity I asked him, "What happened up there?"

"I can't really tell you right here. It needs to be somewhere private. Maybe we can go to your house or something."

I stayed quiet as I went through all the ways that I could explain this to him.

"Don't you have a place?"

He looked confused. Anybody would be. I couldn't find the right way to tell him so, I sucked it up and told him straight up.

"No, I don't have a place. I was legally emancipated from my parents when I was fourteen. I have been with my friend until I found her dead a month and a half ago."

He looked at me with a sympathetic look and said, "I'm so sorry."

I quickly said back, "It's okay. You didn't know. Anyways, I've been homeless until about a month ago. Some guy heard me singing at a club and asked me if I wanted to perform at a benefit concert. I said okay and in return he promised me a hotel for three weeks and yesterday was my last day. My bags are in my dressing room."

I really hoped that he didn't think I was really pushy.

"Well, you are more than welcome to stay at my house."

I was very grateful that he would do this for me. So, I half ran to my dressing room and quickly changed into something simple. When I came out I was in a simple black t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of nike hightops. I came out carrying three bags (not very big, I might add.) He offered me his hand and (again) I very gratefully took it. He led me to the front of the venue where I saw his friends waiting by their limo. I waved awkwardly to them and then they turned their heads to him. He whispered something I couldn't quite make out. Then he pulled my hand and we went into their limo. For the whole ride out of Seattle everyone was fairly quiet (at least no one was trying to kill each other.) When we got to the first house I thought it was his. But, when I saw that he wasn't getting out I stayed put. When the limo stopped a second time he did get down so, I followed him. When he opened the door I saw a man and a woman (presumably his parents.) I looked up and waved hello. They did nothing. Then they looked at the person who I thought was his sister and she said, "I don't know." Then he helped me bring my bags upstairs into their bathroom. I mouthed thank you to him and closed the door. I listened to him walk downstairs before I locked the door and turned on the shower. I got undressed and went in. I could faintly hear the sound of a family arguing but I thought nothing of it. When I felt the hot water on my back, it was like a muscle relaxant. Not wanting to seem like a hot water hog, I turned off the shower when it has been five minutes. Then I just changed into my much loved pair of mickey mouse print pants and my Disneyland t-shirt. Then I heard a door slam. I was confused but then again, I was confused for most of my life. When I was done brushing my hair I took my things downstairs and set it by their couch. I saw his mom and dad talking. They looked like they were arguing about something when they walked over to me. I didn't want to be rude so I started talking to them.

"Hello."

The man spoke first.

"Hi. My name is Charlie and this is my wife Sue."

"Hello. I am their mother and we want to talk to you about some things."

I nodded and said, "Okay, let's hear it."

The woman now named Sue spoke first, "First of all, what's your name?"

"My name is Fernanda."

"Where were you born?"

"I was born here but both of my parents were born in Mexico."

Then the man now named Charlie spoke.

"What happened before all this?" he waved his hands all around the room.

I sighed and then I said my story.

"Well, one day when I was 10, I was called to the pricipals office. He told me that my parents had died of an animal attack. I was heartbroken. This is the summary of all of that. I was 10, alone, orphaned and depressed. But when my foster parents Dave and Allison adopted me I thought my troubles were over. I was dead wrong. They would beat me and threaten to kill me if I ever called the police about the beatings. So, I had to wait until I was fourteen to get legally emancipated from them. I was probably one of if not the happiest teenager on earth when I got emancipated. Then I moved in with my friend and we both paid half the rent until I found her dead in the bathtub about a month ago. After that I just wandered around from club to club, singing there so I could earn money to buy some food. I barely managed to scrape by. But, when George heard me and asked me if I wanted to sing at a benefit concert I said yes. In return, he gave me a hotel room for three weeks and yesterday was my last day."

They looked shocked that all of that has happened to me. Then Sue was about to ask me one last question when the door opened and she decided to put it off. They both shook my hand when he came over to me and sat on the couch. Then everyone left the room to go upstairs. I saw that he sat down on the couch with me.

"Now that we're alone I can tell you what this is all about." He pointed all around his house.

I giggled a little.

"I sure would like to know."

He was hesitant to tell me but he went on with it.

"Well, Fernanda… first of all I'm a wolf. And when wolves find their soulmate they imprint." I just stared at him processing all this information.

"When a wolf imprints it's like the other things that tied them down to earth are all gone and only that one person is keeping them there. Basically, I am supposed to be anything you want me to be. Friend, brother, protector, lover whatever you need me to be I am."

I smiled in relief thinking, "Finally, I know what all of this is about!"

He looked confused and said, "Wait, so you're not freaked out or anything?"

I just nodded no and replied, "I'm just glad that I don't have to keep searching for 'the one' anymore 'cause when I saw you I felt an instant connection. I think I might be in love with…what's your name?"

"Seth."

I just laughed again.

"I think…no I know I'm in love with you Seth. Well this is a great way to start a relationship. I don't even know your name the first time I say I love you."

I saw a special twinkle in his eye and we both laughed. I noticed that we both laugh a lot. That's when he kissed me. It was the only kiss I have ever had and yet I felt like it was the best. His breath tasted like rain and forest. After he pulled away I was one of the happiest if not the happiest person on earth. The he went upstairs and closed the door to his room. I laid down on their couch and thought, "Wow. This has been a crazy, hectic day." Then I gradually got more tired until I fell asleep.
