Here's chapter two. Just a warning I was able to get two chapters up but this will be it for today. Even though I have some in the bank and edited, I'm going to keep them there and relese them weekly. That way hopefully it never gets to the time where I run out of edited parts in the bank and you have to wait for months for the next update.
So let's see how this weekly thing goes.
Hope you enjoy.
Now onwards!
SPOV
The sun was barely shining through my window when I woke up. I was actually surprised that there was any sun at all. I opened the blind to see that the sun was just starting to rise into the sky. I ran through my day in my head. 'Eat, patrol, eat, cliff diving, bonfire, eat at the bonfire, another patrol, eat and maybe bed.'
It could be worse, but at least I get to cliff dive and go to a bonfire. So my day wasn't too bad. It could be worse, patrolling ALL day was definitely worse, especially if you weren't able to eat that much. That is unless you didn't mind eating like a wolf. Which I didn't mind, but I'd rather not if I didn't have to.
I walked out of my room and headed to the kitchen where my mom was, reading a book and drinking her morning coffee. She looked up at me with a surprised face.
"Seth? I thought you were already gone."
"Nope, and if I was well, then Jake's not gonna care that much if I'm a little late. Besides I'm starving," I said looking through the cabinets for some cereal and big enough bowl.
"You always are. Let me make you something," she started to get up.
"No mom, I'm fine. I found my bowl and if you really want you can make me something for lunch when I'm done patrolling around the Cullens," I smiled trying to look cute so I could get a good meal. Yeah, I'm a bit of a mama's boy, but if you haven't noticed, I love food and my mom makes some of the best.
"Seth, I still don't like you by them that much," my mom said a bit worried. She what they were and that they were my friend and also, according to myths, our mortal enemies. So her being worried is kind of expected, mostly since I spend whatever time I'm not home over there.
"Mom, its fine. Nothing has happened to me yet has it?" I asked taking a bite of my cereal.
"Yet, being the main word in that sentence. Still, honey, you can't blame me for worrying about you a little bit," she signed.
"I know mom. But you have to remember all that we've helped each other through. Maybe you and the rest of the Elders should talk to them more and see that. I'm sure that we can get rid of all the little worries that there is.
"Seth, I don't see that happening any time soon. But that's nice of you to think about it. Maybe you should take your father's place in the council. I don't care for being part of it. Life was so much easier when your father was alive," she trailed off looking out the window and I could tell she was thinking of times past.
Since my father died 3 years ago my mother took over the Elder spot that my father held. I knew that one day it would be my responsibility to take over that spot. I was sure until my older sister, Leah, phased into the first female werewolf known in our history. But I know that she wouldn't want that, so it was going to be me to take that spot one day.
"Mom, I'm not ready yet. I'm not even done with high school. And I think we should ask Leah. Who knows maybe she'll come back and actually be embracing what she is, what we all are."
"Seth, you know she doesn't want that life. So sooner or later you'll be one of the Elders. But I know you'll do a good job. It's not that hard. Probably once you become one, the Cullens will be gone and you won't have anything to do," she laughed.
"Maybe, but hey I have to go. I love you," I kissed my mom on the cheek then ran out the backdoor to the trees behind our house. I stripped down quickly so I wouldn't have to keep buying new clothes and tied them around my ankle. Then, I felt the heat and the shudders course through my body and in the blink of an eye I was my other half.
Hey Seth finally. I thought I was going to be out here forever, Quil teased.
Sorry, dude. I woke up a bit late and I was starving. I'm sick of eating deer so I got some cereal. I would've been out sooner if it wasn't for my mom talking to me about becoming an Elder one day.
No worries. I'm just anxious to get home because I'm watching Claire today. I have a present for her.
That's cool.
Besides my grandpa was talking to me about becoming an Elder as well so don't worry. Besides with us as Elders and Jacob as well it's going to be awesome. We'll be the coolest and best Elders ever.
But that is if Jacob stays, because you do know when the Cullens leave he will too.
True, but who would take his place.
I don't know, but can we stop talking about it.
Yeah, sure. Well sorry to leave you hanging, but I got to go. I'll see you at the bonfire?
Of course.
Okay, cool. Later.
With that Quil was gone and I was once again alone to patrol the Cullen's land. Not that we were expecting any trouble, but sometimes their vampire friends will visit and we wanted to make sure we never missed anything. And also there could be another visit from the stupid Volturi. I really wish we were able to rip them apart, I barely know them or met them, but the possible threat of them lingered in the back of all out minds.
I was finally done with my patrol and Embry took over the task. It's not that bad, but most days were like today and completely boring. I even went by the house and the cottage to see if anything was going on or if Nessie wanted to play, but nothing. So it was pretty boring and I just wanted to get home to eat a real meal.
"Hey mom," I said as I walked in from the backdoor.
"Hey, I'm going out. I have to pick some stuff up at the store for the bonfire tonight and then I'm stopping by the new family. Well, old new family." I just looked at her confused. "The father used to live here, but then his wife died giving birth to his oldest son and he left because the reservation reminded him too much of his wife. He moved to Cleveland. Then, he remarried and he now has a daughter, too. So part of them used to live here, but the other part hasn't. They moved a couple houses down. You should go down and say hello."
"No, I'm sure I'll meet them soon enough. I'm just going to get something to eat, then I'm going cliff diving with the guys. So I'll see you later at the bonfire."
"Okay, bye," she walked out the door with a list of supplies in her hands.
I just made my way to the kitchen to see if I could find enough food to hold me over until cliff diving. So I settled on making a couple large sandwiches and headed off to First Beach. I looked at the clock and saw it was a little after seven. As I ran out of the house I phased so that I wouldn't be late. When you don't have a mall or anything close you have to make your own fun, and cliff diving is what we did on the reservation.
I got there in record time. I phased back into my human form and put my shorts back on. As I walked out of the tree line towards the cliffs I heard someone singing, or at least trying to. As I turned towards the sound I got tackled and a good right-hook into the gut. What did I do deserve a punch? I wasn't sure, but it was an impressive punch. Then, I looked down and saw a girl sitting on the ground mumbling to herself and I couldn't help but be amused and intrigued.
Hope you all enjoyed.
Until next time, be safe and happy.
