Recap: She was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid his eyes on; her mahogany brown hair reached her waist, her slim waist and her jeans hugged her waist perfectly, showing off her curves though it was obvious she wished not to. Her eyes were the most perfect mocha color and he wished to drown in them always. Seth had always heard stories of what it felt like to imprint on someone but he never once thought it would happen to him, ever. Bella, her name was Bella. Such a beautiful name, though he couldn't help but feel like it were so familiar to him. Bella..Bella. She had been with Jacob. Bella. Jacob's Bella. He had imprinted on the girl Jacob had been crushing on for years.

Oh god, he was so majorly screwed.

"Fuck."

Bella looked up at Seth confused. "Are you okay?"

Seth shook his head and pulled his hand away from hers quickly as though it had burned him. "Yes," He said through gritted teeth. He broke his gaze and cleared his throat. "I need to go." He backed away from her.

"Seth?" Bella subconsciously reached out for him. He shook his head before turning and walking quickly up the beach. Bella looked after him, and frowned, hurt and confused by his reaction towards her. She could feel everyone's eyes on her and she blushed, looking down at her feet. Was it something she'd said? She wondered. All she had said was her name. Perhaps everyone was afraid to be associated with the zombie girl still pinning after her ex-boyfriend who didn't even want her in the first place.

"Evening Bella." She looked up at the sound of Billy's voice.

"Billy, hi." Bella smiled softly. "You're looking good."

"Gotta stay in shape for the ladies." Billy joked, making her laugh. Billy Black was very much the older version of his son, always trying to make others smile and he did with his very presence. He was wise and his wisdom and words touched the hearts of others.

"Sure, sure." She laughed.

"Where'd Seth go?" Bella froze at his name.

"Uh, I'm not sure. He just...left." She explained, shifting uncomfortably. Billy caught her eye and sent her a questioning look. She looked down.

"Huh, doesn't sound like him at all," Jacob mumbled. Great. So it was just because of me. Bella thought. "I'm going to go get us some food, you'll stay here with Dad?"

"Go on boy, I'm not a child, I've been taking care of myself for years. I'll keep Bella here company." Billy waved his son off. Jacob rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless before making his way towards the table filled to the brim with food. Bella pushed Billy towards one of the logs and sat. "Seth is a good boy," Billy spoke after a while.

Bella looked at him. "Why are you telling me this Billy?" There was always a lesson, a meaning behind Billy's words.

Billy paused for a moment, "Listen to your heart Bella. You're a smart girl with a good head on you but, sometimes, you need to listen to your heart instead."

"What?" Bella tilted her head. "Billy, I'm so c-"

"Okay, so, the only thing that was left was a couple of hot dogs and some chips." Jacob interrupted them. "Here you go Bells," He held the plate out towards her.

"Actually, I'm not really hungry, Jake. Thank you though." She whispered softly. "I think I'm going to walk for a bit. Legs are starting to fall asleep from sitting."

"Oh, I'll come with, just let me finish this." Jacob offered.

"No, take your time. I'll only be gone for a minute." Bella waved him off. "I'll be fine." She reassured him. Jacob glanced at her wearily for a moment before nodding. Bella turned and let out a shaky breath as she started walking. She was so confused about, everything, especially about what Billy had said to her. She found Seth, undeniably attractive, and for some reason, she felt as though she was betraying Edward for thinking so even though, it was obvious he wouldn't care. Bella walked along the shore, dipping her feet in the water as she did. Seth was gorgeous and there was something about him that made her want to be around him all of the time.

"Swan." She turned at the sound of the female's voice.

The woman was fairly tall, taller than her by a lot actually. Her hair was cropped short just under her jawline and she looked like she worked out a lot—not to the point where she was too muscluar but her body was fit. She had beautiful copper skin and her eyes, well, her eyes were currently glaring holes in Bella's face.

"What the hell, did you do to my brother." She spat. Bella recoiled and blinked. Her brother?

"Who?" Bella questioned.

"Seth. What did you do to him?" The taller woman took a step towards her and was now directly in front of her. Bella took a hastily step backwards.

"I didn't do anything to him." Bella's voice shook. "Why, is he hurt?" She felt panic surge through her body. Her big brown eyes widening at the thought. Leah looked down at her, a frown appearing on her face as she watched the younger girl begin to freak out. "Is he okay?"

"Chill, Swan." Leah made a face. "He's been acting wonky ever since he met you. I want to know why."

You and me both, Bella thought. "He ran away from me." She confessed. "I'm just as confused as you are."

"Is something going on here?" Jacob approached them.

"Don't get your panties in a twist Black. We're just having a conversation." Leah continued to stare at her. "Right, Swan?"

Bella swallowed and nodded immediately. "Right."

Jacob looked between the girls, a frown on his face. "Is she bothering you, Bells?"

"Jesus Christ, Jacob. No one is bothering your precious saint Bella; all I did was ask her a simple question. If that made her break, then she needs to be in the crazy house." Leah scoffed. "I'm out of here." She started to turn when a small pale hand grabbed her wrist.

"Wait." Bella looked up at her. "Where is he?"

"Wouldn't you love to know." Leah snatched her arm from her grasp. "Jesus, are you on drugs?"

"I just want to speak to him." Bella shook her head. "Apologize for whatever I did to make him upset." She looked at the tanned woman with pleading eyes.

Leah narrowed her eyes and groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Up the road, it's the blue house on the right." Bella nodded and started to walk away when Jacob grabbed her.

"Bella, what's going on?"

"Nothing, Black. Just let her go." Leah removed his hands. "She'll be back."

"Why is she going to your house?" Jacob questioned.

"Why are you so damn nosy." Leah shot back.

Whilst the two of them were bickering, Bella made her leave. Her small feet taking her as fast as she could go. She nearly tripped on her way out. She complentated whether or not she should drive to his house but decided against it. This whole situation was weird, she barely even knew him yet she was going out her way to make sure that he was okay. Bella remembered the girl's directions. Blue house on the right. She wrapped her arms around herself as she walked. Blue house on the right...ah ha! She spotted it and made her way up the porch steps. Before she could even raise her hand to knock, the door opened and revealed Seth. His hair was wild, and his face looked grim. Had she done that to him?

"What are you doing here, Bella?" Seth looked down at her.

"I..I don't know." She admitted truthfully.

"You need to leave." He grumbled, reaching for the door. Bella held her hand up to stop him.

"Why do you hate me?" Bella whispered. "I don't even know you and you don't even know me so why are you being so mean to me."

"I could never hate you." Seth swallowed. "I kind of wish that I did though."

Bella flinched at his words. "You ran away."

"I did." Seth responded.

"Why?" Bella frowned. "I did nothing to you."

"You need to leave Bella, now." Seth gripped the edge of the door. "Please, get out."

"No." Bella stood her ground. "I don't know what this is. Or why I feel this way but, I'm not leaving."

"Bella!" She turned at the sound of Jacob's voice.

"Goodbye, Isabella." Seth met her eyes for the first time since their earlier encounter and she felt her heart beat speed up. He groaned and tightened his grip against the door. "Leave." He said through gritted teeth. "And don't come back." The door slammed in her face, making her jump.

"Bella, what are you doing?" Jacob touched her arm. She whipped her head around and glared up at him.

"You made him leave." Bella knew she looked crazy.

"Bella, what are you talking about?" Jacob looked at her as if she'd grown a second head.

"Nothing." She whispered. "I need to go. I need to go home, it was a mistake coming here." She pushed past him. He went to grab her again but she shook him off. "Leave me alone Jacob. I'll..call you later, okay?" She shook her head and walked as quickly as she could back down the road, jogging a bit to make the trip faster. She eventually made it to her truck, her hands shaking as she fumbled with her keys.

"Swan."

Bella dropped her keys and cursed. "What do you want."

"You okay?" Leah shifted uncomfortably at her own question.

"Your brother just basically told me to go and die in a hole. So no, I'm not okay." Bella grumbled as she bent down to pick up her keys. "I need to go."

"Bella," Leah grabbed her arm. "He's a good person."

"So everyone keeps telling me." Bella scoffed. "Perhaps it's just me that he hates then."

"Seth doesn't hate you. He's just complicated. He's confused." Leah tried to explain.

"I'm confused. He seems very much aware of how he feels towards me. He made that very clear when he slammed his front door in my face." Bella raised her voice, catching the attention of Sam as well as others at the bonfire. She sighed and closed her eyes momentarily. "It was a mistake for me to come here." She opened her truck door.

"Bella, where are you going." Jacob appeared behind her.

"Jesus, Jacob, you've been down my throat all night and you're literally suffocating me. Can you fuck off?" She hissed. Her words were uncalled for, even she knew that. Bella climbed into her truck and put the key in the ignition, not even waiting for the old thing to warm up before she reversed out of the parking lot leaving the two teens standing in their place. She sped down the road, her hands shaking profoundly. Eventually, she'd made it home. Bella made her way quickly into her home.

"You're back early." Charlie commented as she walked by the living room. Bells ignored him and kept up the stairs, going to her bedroom, slamming the door behind her. She made sure to lock it before flopping on her bed. Her emotions were all over the place and she'd never felt so confused, hurt and angry all at once. She was angry at herself for seemingly moving on from Edward so quickly. She was mad because it didn't hurt to say his name anymore; confused because she had barely known Seth for more than two hours and yet her feelings for him transcended more than her feelings for Edward ever could and she was hurt that he didn't even feel even a slither of anything for her when she felt so much, in such a short time for him.

As she laid on her bed the night and slowly drifted to sleep. Her mind raced with thoughts of his brown eyes, his voice and that night, she dreamed of wolves.
