Chapter 2: Pack life on the Rez
(Seth's POV)
I woke up to the sweetest smell of bacon and eggs in the air. I inhaled deeply, taking in the aroma that filled the whole house. I quickly hopped out of bed, avoiding the clothes and other junk scattered around my messy room. But before I could even make it downstairs I heard Charlie and my mom taking. Can't just go down there in my boxers, mom'll have a fit. I quickly made a bee-line for my room trying to hurry up and get downstairs before Leah could get to all the food before I can. Last time that happened I ended up starving the whole morning.
I threw on some shorts then scurried down the stair steps and jumped over the last three. I got there just in time before Leah practically inhaled it all.
"Hey mom, hey Charlie" I said as walked over to my piled high plate of food. Charlie had been coming over quite a while now since he and my mom had a 'thing' going on between them. It didn't bother me, I was actually glad she found someone to make her happy, same with Charlie. I began eating quickly not even bothering to savor the taste. I just wanted to get it all in my stomach.
"Hey kid, how's pack life?" Charlie asked while mom just smiled in my direction.
"Pretty boring in my opinion, not a lot of action now than there was before." I replied around a mouthful of eggs. Just then Leah had come from down the stairs. "Hey mom, Charlie, kid" she teased. I just scolded her and continued to eat.
"So there's this new family movin' into town," Charlie started, "I'm gonna head on over there and meet the folks later on in the day" he finished. Mom perked up getting interested, "Really, how many?" she asked.
"Just two, a mother and her daughter, that's all I know for now." He replied getting up.
This seemed to interest me to, you see, there hasn't been another family move here since, well, Bella moved to Forks, sorta weird if you ask me, it's like people are literally trying to avoid Forks. Ha, maybe they were. It rains so damn much here so, why not?
"I'm gonna go off and head to the station, I'll see you later on today." Charlie said as he got up and gave my mother a kiss goodbye, then headed out the door.
And with that, I finished up my breakfast and headed up stairs. I took a long cold shower letting my bones relax from all that running I did on patrol last night.Yeah, yeah I know what you're thinking, what's the whole point of patrolling if there's no action here? Well I asked that same questioned to my all-mighty Alpha, Jacob -insert sarcasm here- that same question and got a you-never-know-what-might-happen answer. It's like one of those questions no matter how many times you ask, you always end up getting the same answer.
It felt nice letting the cold water hit my skin, cooling me off from my abnormal -for a human- temperature. After showering I threw on some khaki shorts and a plain black shirt, than slipped on my converse and headed for the stairs.
I was so close to getting out the door when mom started to interrogate me.
"Where do you think you're going young man?" She questioned me, eyeing me in the process.
"Er… outside?" I replied, but it came out more like a question.
"You understand that I want you back in this house by 11 right?" she in a motherly tone. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh in frustration, she was always hovering me even though I was 17.
"Yes mom" I replied and headed outside to my escape as quickly as I could. I started walking along the road that headed to First beach but instead of taking the long way, I decided to walk through the woods to save time. As soon as I was out of sight I started sprinting my way towards the beach not bothering to look at anything in my path, it just came as an instinct to hop over and avoid things in my way without me even thinking twice.
I came to a halt as the beach started to show through the forests green, mossy trees and bushes. I walked my way through the edge of the forest and walked onto the sandy beach. I breathed in the cold ocean breeze as I made my way to an abandon piece of drift wood that the ocean must have spit out. It looked stable enough to sit on so I did very well just that.
I looked out into the distance and let my mind wonder. It was strange how I could always think straight when I was at the beach alone with no one around. I could never do that when I was in my 'sandy' -as what the others would call it- wolf form. Your thoughts could never be private, you could never think to yourself without someone hearing. One mistake, you slip just once, the whole pack could know your little secret or whatever you didn't want anyone to hear but you.
As I started to go deeper into my own thoughts, thinking about life and well… life. I, out of the whole pack, -including both- was known as the cool, calm collected one. The one that was still known as a 'kid' no matter how many times I complained that I wasn't. The one that acted immature at times but could still be more mature than my older pack brothers. The one that was 'easy on the eyes' or had a 'kindred soul' as Old Quil would say. I began to wonder more and more when I came to a thought that was new to me, you know , that kind of thought were you never thought of that thought, yeah that kind of thought. Well to make it less confusing, that thought was imprinting. I never really actually gave it some thought now that I think of it. Sure I've heard of what it feels like in some of the guys' heads when we're patrolling, but I never got a chance to experience it. Course I've never experienced it, 'cause if I did I would probably be just a 'whipped' as the other guys are with their imprints. Ha, hope that doesn't happen anytime soon.
Soon enough I was pulled out of my thoughts when something hit me in the back of my head. What the heck was that? I looked down to see it was a medium sized rock that assaulted me, I turned my head to see a grinning Brady standing just a couple feet away from me at the edge of the woods.
I so wanted to wipe that smug off of his face.
"Everyone's hanging out at Emily's today, you comin' or what?" he asked still grinning.
"Yeah, hold on just let me…" I started my sentence but paused to pick up the rock. Before Brady could even decipher what I was going to do, I launched the rock aiming right at his head this time. The smell of blood trickled up my nose. I smiled in triumph as I looked to see Brady holding his head in pain for a couple of seconds, than regaining his composure. Good thing we heal fast or that would have been a major problem for him.
"Nice shot bro." he simply said. I looked up at his head as I made my way over to him. Not even a mark was left behind by the rock. Ah, the joys of being a werewolf, I silently thought to myself.
"Who's all over there?" I asked as we made our way through the forest.
"You know, all the guys, their imprints, and yea." He replied.
"Ah, so why isn't Collin with you, ya'know he's practically like your twin." I teased smiling. It was true, Brady and Collin have been friends since they were in diapers, were ever Collin went Brady tagged along and vice versa.
"We are not like twins, why does everyone keep saying that?!" he retorted, then storming off in front of me. That kid gets mad just too easy. It probably was the whole 'wolf' thing; he was still kinda new to this.
I immediately started to strip off my clothes, knowing Brady had already phased. I quickly got out the string from my back pocket and tied my clothes to my leg. I started to let the heat take over my body, and then feel my muscles expanding inside me while the color red clouded my vision. Soon I was on all fours trying to keep up with Brady.
Everything in my vision was a blur of mostly green as I strode my way through the woods avoiding everything in my way with perfect outcomes. I loved the feeling of the wind through my fur and the woodsy smell that filled my nose with every breath. Ugh I sound like a total girl right now.
Brady: Yeah, I agree, you do sound like a total chick right now. Hahahahaha. -Like I said, no privacy what so ever.-
Me: Whatever, just stay outta my head.
Brady: You know that's impossible right?
Me: Ugh, you erk my nerves, ya know that?
Brady: That's my job. He laughed but it came out like he was a choking dog.
Soon we came into the clearing and phased back. We slipped back on our clothes and headed into Emily's place. Before we stepped in I heard a lot of murmurs and voices. Brady was right when he said everyone was here. We stepped in and I gazed in to see all of the pack members either in the living room watching the game or in the kitchen harassing Emily or raiding her fridge. Collin, Embry, and Brady just now making his was over to the couch, were all watching TV, while Jared was over in the corner in a rather heated make-out session with Kim. I mean, the dude was like literally trying to eat her face off.
"Ugh, get a room!" Collin yelled over his shoulder at Jared and Kim, whose cheeks were now a bright red.
"Get a girlfriend, LOSER!" Jared yelled right back. That shut him up real fast.
I gazed to my right to see Rachel sitting in Paul's lap while they laughed at Collin and Jared. Then I had seen Jake staring daggers at Paul for sneaking a kiss on Rachel's lips. His eyes quickly averted from them to little Nessie who had stroked her hand along his cheek to grab his attention. He smiled and announced he was going to take her back to the Cullen's. Speaking of the Cullens, I had to stop bye and say hi to them sometime this week. Out of everyone in the packs me and Jacob were closest to them ever since the whole 'Volturi out to kill Nessie and the Cullens' thing happened. But Edward was, as he had called it 'more fond' of me than Jacob.
I found me a seat on the couch just as Claire came running over to me. Her waist long hair was swinging with every bounce, twist, and well, just about every move she made. A smile was plastered on her face, it was so contagious that I couldn't help but smile back. She jumped onto my lap and hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi Sethy!" she said in a jittery voice, using the nickname she gave me.
"Hey Claire-Bear, why are you so hyper today?"I questioned her, raising my eyebrow. She started to lean closer to me and gently whispered into my ear,
"I stole a lot of cookies from the jar in the kitchen, but Aunty Emily doesn't know so shhhhhh!"
"Ah, so that's why you look like your gonna bounce off the walls" I said jokingly.
"What's this I hear about you stealing cookies from the cookie jar, Claire?" Quil questioned. Damn werewolf hearing.
"Um…Er…I…Uh, gotta run!" She yelled and made a bee-line for the kitchen with Quil right on her trail. Quil eventually caught her and nearly tickled her to death.
I smiled in their direction enjoying what was going on around me, and then, suddenly, there was this tight pulling in my chest, like something or someone was pulling me in their direction. It was almost like my instincts were telling me to go were my heart –yes that's where the pulling was coming from- was being pulled from. I couldn't understand this feeling at all. It was weird; it wasn't like anything else I felt before. My hand raised to my chest as my eyebrows knit together. This was strange. I hope there isn't anything wrong with me because this feeling was… there are no words to really explain how it felt.
"Something wrong Seth" Sam asked me, coming from out of the kitchen. I immediately pulled my hand away from my chest and looked his way. All eyes were glued on me now.
"Er…yeah, everything's perfect" I answered forcing a smile at him. He smiled slightly back at me, but I could tell he knew I was lying. Everyone else went back to what they were doing. My hand flew right back to my chest again as the pull got stronger. If only they knew, if only they knew everything was the opposite of perfect, that something strange was happening to me, and I had no idea what the hell it was.
A/N- SOOOOO? Love it? Hate it? PLEASE TELL ME! A simple 'good' or 'nice' could work to! I just really need to know if I'm doing good or not so REVIEW! I think this chapter was better than the first one AND longer (: More reviews equals LOOOOOOOONGER chapters ;D So, what do you think is wrong with Seth? Is it that obvious? And also I will be doing a contest later on into the story, but I will get to that later on. Okay, Okay, just Review
