Lynessa Point of View

Shock hit me, as I was pulled under water. My vision blurred, my eyes burning from the salt of the sea. A warm hand was wrapped around my leg, trapping me under water. I aimlessly tried to get out, my arms waving like crazy. And all in a matter of a plit second, I was up again. The hand let go, the chains breaking free, and I rose to the surface, a glare on my face. But when I saw the worry in his face, all of my anger bubbled away. His eyes held a strange look. I couldn't quite place it. But it was wierd. "No fair!" I finally whined, trying my best not to giggle, a small smile on my face.

He smiled, his teeth an alarming white against his dark skin. I couldn't help but notice the hairs falling over his forehead, his eyes still seen and brightly twinkling. He really was cute. More than cute even. Handsome, maybe."Sorry, my hands slipped," he said, his voice saturated in humor. His smile widened into a grin, his eyes holding amusement. I tried not to stare, but I was feeling my cheeks starting to burn slightly. I can always tell him that it's the water if he asks me why I'm blushing.

I rolled my eyes, playing along, and scoffed. "We're in the water! How can your hands slip?!" I asked, fake glaring at him. I hoped it wasn't too much. I didn't want him to think that I didn't like him. Because it was quite the opposite. I did like him. A lot, too.

He bit his lip, struggling for an answer. He looked around for a few seconds, even though all that there was was the sea. "Well...umm..it hit a rock and caught your leg..." he said with the most adorable smile. I do admit, his smile is absolutley gorgeous, but I wasn't going to give up. Not yet at least. I was never like this around boys. I did argue with them, but with real anger.

I rolled my eyes again. "Which rock was it?" I asked, a few giggles escaping me. His face was absolutley hilarious. I just had to laugh. I ignored the fluttering in my stomach and leaned in closer to him, my face holding a challenging expression, a smirk toying with my lips.

"It appeared and dissapeared like magic!" he said in mock horror. His lips forimg an 'O' shape, his eyes wide open.

I burst out laughing, trying my best not to fall over and drown in the water. "So it's a magical rock?" I mimicked him, giggles still escaping my throat.

"Yes! That's it!" he said enthusiastically.

I rolled my eyes, stepping closer to him. I reached out, poking Seth lightly, and then turned away, whisteling innocently. I couldn't keep the small smile off of my lips, the tip of my finger still tingling slightly from when I'd poked him.

All of a sudden I felt him poke my ribs. His fingers were soft, warm at the touch. A warm feeling rushed through me, the small fluttering in my stomach building up. I never felt this way before, it was strange, a new feeling.

I turned to him, a fake glare on my face. I poked his chest, an electrical feeling shooting through my finger, making my whole hand go numb. My finger looked so small compared to his large chest. It was then I noticed how musceled he was. His six pack was pretty obvious. But you could still see all the bones underneath.

He poked me again, then quickly turned away, swimming away as fast as he could away from me. His long legs barely making a splash.

I shook my head quickly, a small blush rising to my cheeks. I dove into the water, swimming after him. As I was catching up with him, I realized that he was going slow on purpose. He could have easily gone faster, but he didn't. As soon as I caught up with him, I somehow had enough strength to pull him under. I sat down on his shoulders, hoping that my weight would be enough to hold him down for even a second.

Seth POV

I knew it was simply hormones when I felt the urge to grab her and do what I pleased with her as soon as she wrapped her thin legs around my neck. She seemed to be trying to push me under with her non-existant weight. I rose above the water, I wrapped my arms around her, and tossed her into the water where there were no rocks. I didn't want her to get hurt. She was too angelic.

She screamed as she fell into the water, her voice loud and high, yet I couldn't believe how beautiful it still sounded. I watched as she swam back to me, her dark hair sticking to her face, and curling at the ends. But her piercing blue eyes held friendliness in them, a certain laughter. "Meanie!" she whined, poking me in the chest again. I tried not to show her any emotion as her finger made contact with my skin. Never have I met a creature so dangerous to me, yet so beautiful and gorgeous that you couldn't resist. It was as if everyone was putty in her hands.

I wrapped my arms around her waist, bringing her close to me in a hug, my shoulders shaking with laughter. She was just so adorable when she was angry. I tried not to think of all the places her skin was touching mine, but I couldn't help it. I was suddenly glad that my skin was dark enough so that she wouldn't see my blush.

She rolled her gorgeous blue eyes again, her bottom lip jutting out in an innocent pout. Her eyes widened slightly, looking up at me with the most adorable expression I've ever seen. I couldn't help but see how full her lips were, how they were a dark pink and perfectly shaped. How they looked oh so kissable right now.

I kept my arms around her, seeing that she hadn't noticed yet. I fought the small hurt feeling that was inside my stomach and smiled at her. "You couldn't possibly be mad at me? Could you?" I asked, trying my luck.

She tried to glare at me, but soon failed, her eyes a soft blue that could trap anyone. I was trying not to be a victim myself. "Fine," she grumbled quietly. She hugged me back, she seemed a bit startled. Probably from my warmth. She held on a little longer, then flushed a bright red. "I'm not mad at you," she said, looking away, probably trying to calm down her blush.

I grinned at her, she was actually blushing. "I'm very happy to hear that," I said with a smirk as I splashed a little water at her.

Her beautiful lips pulled down in a frown, "Hey!" she said. For a second my heart dropped, until I heard her giggle, the sound of it like the sound of a baby laugh. She splashed some water back at me, her smile bright.

I swam underwater, then wrapped my arms around her small, fragile waist and pulled her down with me. I held her for not even a full second and let her go up again. But I stayed underwater so I wouldn't get splashed by her again. I didn't mind it actually, she was very gentle, even when she attempted being aggresive. It just wasn't in her nature.

Lynessa POV

As soon as I reached the surface, a small glare was on my face, until I realized that Seth wasn't there that is. A panic rose in my stomach swallowing in more and more of me, where was he?! I turned around in every direction, my eyes wide with panic. About a minute passed and he still didn't come up. I knew many humans couldn't stay in water that long. I suddenly felt something soft and warm brush against my thigh. I dove underwater and saw him there a big, idiotic grin on his face.

I watched as he came up for some air and started laughing. He didn't seem to be hurt or affected by the lack of air. But I couldn't slow down the wild thumping of my heart, almost as if it was trying to escape my rib cage.

I glared at him, but I knew they were still soft if you looked hard enough. They always did that. They never fully glared, they never could. And all of a sudden my hands were on his chest, attempting to push him away, putting some space in between us. But he was strong, too strong for me, he didn't budge one bit until he took a step back, a confused expression on his face. "You scared me!" I said, laying my hand over my chest, listening to the beating of my heart.

"I'm sorry," he said solemly and he hugged me, his strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me to his chest.

I hugged him back, drinking in his warmth. "Promise you won't ever scare me like that again?" I asked hopefully, but still, a piece of me knew that this would no doubtedly happen again. Boys were predictable, but my heart was still hopeful. I hadn't realized how worried I was of him. Normally she wouldn't care less if a boy fell into the water and drowned. She wouldn't even notice.

Seth POV

I stared at her face, the image on her face was one of pure vulnerability. Her eyes innocent, her lips in a way so that they looked agonized. Her face was heart-wrenching. I dug my nails into my palm to keep from hugging her as hard as I can. If I had, I would've crushed her. All of her, her fragile thin bones, and bruised her beautiful, soft skin. "Of course. I'll never do it again," I said as I watched her face carefully.

She smiled, the expression of pain suddenly gone. "Good, 'cause you had me pretty scared." I felt bad, how could I have done this to such a beautiful angel? She didn't deserve to be hurt. I suddenly caught myself. What was going on? I barely knew this girl and already I'm talking as if she's a Goddess. I couldn't have imprinted on her, could I? I ignored the thought, shaking my head slightly. But I could still see a small speck of pain in her eyes. It was hard to see in the deep see of emotions that were her eyes.

"Sorry. I can hold my breath longer than anyone else," I tried to soothe her. I could see that she wasn't exactly calm yet.

Her eyes softened again, and a small smile played upon her lips. "I think I figured that out," she mumbled, then she changed her tone to a softer one. "i didn't want you to get hurt or anything..." A soft blush painted her pale cheeks The thought of her actually caring made my heart flutter for a few seconds until I realized that she probably cares about everyone.

I smiled warmly at her. "Don't worry about me, I'm a big boy. I mean muscele and height wise," I said, laughing. I couldn't exactly tell her I was a wolf, she'll just have to go on thinking that it was my being so musceled and tall.

She giggled, nodding her head, slight curls falling with her head, as if they couldn't stand being away from her beautiful face. And then I saw how small and tony and fragile she looked next to me. "Yes I'm sure you can take of yourself," she said with a wide grin.

"Ya me and a few others."

"Who?" she asked, suddenly confused. Her nose was scrunched up, her eyebrows furrowing. She looked so adorable.

"Maybe my girlfriend. If I ever get one..." I trailed off with a small sigh.

Her eyebrows raised slightly. "Well you seem like the kind of guy who has girls swarming all over him... You know, the height, body, musceles and all that?" she said with a slight smile on her face.

"Well most of the girls around here are taken and there are enough guys that look like me, so they don't really care about me..." he said. And Sam never lets me have any time off, I added in my head.

She smiled and wrapped her thin arms around me in a hug. "But you're really sweet! How could they ever ignore you?!" I could tell she didn't want to look like too much of a drama queen.

"Well they always go for the bad boys instead of gentleman," I said, gladly hugging her back then letting her go.

She grinned and laughed. "Well I prefer gentlemen over bad boys..." she trailed off with an even wider smile.

"That's good to hear," I said, looking down at her. A strange feeling entered my stomach. They way I saw her, changed. Suddenly I was wondering if I had imprinted on this beautiful girl.

She looked up at me and smiled, her eyes looked a bit dazed, hazy as they stared off into mine. She suddenly shook her head, small droplets of water escaping the ends of her hair, her cheeks stained with a dark blush. "You should know..." she murmured in her soft voice. "Because it's true..." she trailed off. It seemed as if her blush was getting darker and darker by the second.

A small laugh escaped me as I saw the bright red all over her face. She was actually blushing. I leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, just to see her reaction. I looked down at her, my lips feeling tingly, wanting more of her luscious skin.

I watched as her body froze for a split second, then a fire go off in her cheeks. Never had I seen someone blush so hard. She stared up at me, watching me quietly as I laughed softly.

"I'm sorry," I apologized immediatly. "Maybe I should have given you a warning," he said lightly.

She smiled and shook her head. "It's alright. I probably would tried to stop you anyways, but I'm glad you did it none the less," it seemed as if her cheeks wouldn't stop blushing. Always a different shade of red.

I smiled and noticed the hair on her arm standing up. I splashed a little water on her to make her unfreeze. "We might want to swim or else you'll get cold and then sick," I said truthfully.

She grinned and laughed, shaking her wet hair again. "Fine, but it's getting pretty late..." she trailed off staring at the sky, the moon was already rising.

I frowned. "I probably should get you home," I sighed softly. I didn't want to take her home. Not yet at least.

She looked up at me and nodded. She probably didn't want to go home either. "Maybe we can hang out with each other soon?" her voice held hope, it was obviously there.

"Sounds good," I said with a smile. I put my hand under her knees and the other one on the small of her back and picked her up into my arms. I held her close to my body when I saw how bad she was shivering, I didn't want her to get sick.

She sat still in my arms, waiting until we got out of the water, and jumped down from my arms. She ran quickly to where she left her clothes. She looked back at me.

I ran quickly after her, but not too fast, I didn't want to frighten her. "Don't think I'm letting you walk home alone," I said, a protective edge in my voice.

She looked up at me. "Are you sure? I live all the way in Forks..." she trailed off.

"Of course I am!" I smiled at her. I knew that the bloodsuckers would get mad if I came too close to them. But I didn't want her to go alone in the night, anything could happen to her, I'd just have to take my chances.

"Alright then," she said hesitantly. She looked unsure of how to react. She quickly slipped on her clothes and straightened up, tying her long hair into a loose ponytail. "Are you ready?" she asked me.

I had been staring off at the water when I heard her voice. I broke away from my thoughts. "Yes," I said, taking her small hand into mine and began walking with her.

I saw her glance down at our hands, a small, gently smile on her lips. She then stared off ahead, the smile on her face not wanting to rub off.

I was sure I had imprined on her by now, but he didn't want to tell any of the pack. It would upset Jake, since he still hadn't imprinted on anybody. But I still knew that I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. Once she was away from me, I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about her. "It's a beautiful night out tonight. Isn't it?" I smiled down at her.

She looked at the sky, noticing that for once, there was no cloud covering up the stars or moon. Perfectly clear, the stars up already and shining brightly. She nodded quietly and turned to look at me. "Yes it is," she said softly, she grinned back at me.

I noticed that in the moon light, she had the glow of an angel. I had never seen anyone so beautiful before. "Wow, you look beautiful," I said to her, not realizing I had said it out loud before it was too late.

She blushed and looked away. A strange flicker of emotions crossing her face. She turned back to me again. "You think so?" she asked.

"Yes I do. You glow in the moonlight," I told her gently. Her pale skin looked even more pale, but with a blueish hue. Everything about her seemed to glow softly. As if radiating her beauty.

Her blush increased slightly. She smiled back at me and glanced down at her hands. "I glow?" she asked uncertainly as she turned her hands slowly, a confused look crossing her face.

I laughed."The moonlight is bouncing off you and making it look like you glow." I explained to her, smiling at her.

"Oh," she simply said, quickly dropping her hand to her side. "Well I feel stupid now," she mumbled to herself.

"Don't feel stupid. It's funny to see you confused. It's very cute," I chuckled.

She pouted, her bottom lip jutting out as far as it could go. "But that's not nice!" she whined. "I don't like being confused."

I smiled, resisting the urge to laugh. "I was trying to make you feel better..."

She grinned, suddenly, and nodded. "I know," she said with a small laugh. "I was just messing around with you."

I laughed along. "Well you're very good at that."

"What?" she asked innocently. "I'm good at messing with you?" she bit back a smile, her shoulders slightly shaking from the laughter she was holding in.

"You're great at messing with me." I laughed at her.

She laughed along with me, the sound of her laughter like the sound of music. "Only 'cause it's fun."

"I am used to it though. My sister and friends do it a lot." I said softly with a light smile.

She grinned. "Well maybe they find you fun to mess around with, too," she said with a small laugh. "But I can stop if you want me to..."

"No it's okay. I just wish my sister would stop. She doesn't do it very nicely."

"You could ask her to stop."

"I did, but she won't... She's known as the La Push harpy to everyone," I said smirking, laughing slightly.

She smiled. "Well that's mean. Who could ever be mean to you?" she asked. "And anyways, I want to meet her. To see if she really is as mean as you say she is."

I sighed. "She can tell who I like," by reading my mind, "She would act like a total sweetheart but say terrible things about me," I muttered darkly staring at my feet, hating Sam for what he did to Leah.

She turned to stare at me. Her eyes showing worry. "I wouldn't believe her anyways. I know how kind and special you are," she said, squeezing my hand lightly. I had forgotten we were still holding hands.

I looked up at her and smiled softly. "It's my friend's, Sam, fault that she's like this," I sighed softly. I remembered the days before Sam turned into a werewolf. Leah was so happy with him. But then he disapeared and when he came back he fell in love with Leah's best friend, also our cousin, Emily Young. She was so heartbroken.

She got a curious look on her face, one that said that she had to find out. "What happened?" she asked, but then covered her hands with her mouth, her eyes growing wide. "I'm sorry!" she said quickly. "You don't have to answer me if you don't want to."

"It's ok. I will explain most of it. Well they were high school sweethearts. They had true love but something happened to Sam, which I am sorry but I can't say. He was missing for two weeks, all the while Leah and her mom had people out looking for him. When he finally came home he couldn't tell anyone where he had been or what he had been doing or they would have thought he was crazy. After someone explained it all to him he wasn't allowed to see Leah but he did anyways. It was one time that he went over and met her cousin Emily. Emily was like Leah's sister. He then completely fell in love with Emily. It was not his choice to do it. It just happened. He began courting Emily and at first she was mad but she gave in quickly because of all the adoration." I explained, hoping that she hadn't noticed when I said I couldn't tell her why he disapeared.

I watched her face as I explained all of this to her. Tried to read every flicker of emotion that passed through her eyes. Finally her eyes focused on sympathy and another emotion that I couldn't read. "Wow... Leah must have gone through a lot..." she finally said.

Lynessa POV

"Yeah, but don't entirely blame Sam. It wasn't his fault either," I heard him say. The line confused me. I mean anyone who leaves you for your cousin, almost sister is a bastard. I felt bad for Leah. Having to go through so many emotions. So much betrayal.

I nodded quietly, my mind still stuck on the fact that there was something he wasn't telling me. "I don't," i said quietly. "but it must be pretty hard on Leah," I paused. "So was it like, love at first sight? For Emily and Sam, I mean."

"Yeah, but stronger. I still feel bad has to see the look in her eyes everyday and know what he did was wrong and it could have never happened any other way," he said softly, sighing almost inaudibly.

"That must suck for you... Having Leah as your sister and Sam as your friend..."

"It does. Plus they have to see each other every day... without me involved," he said quietly, staring at the ground again.

My eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "But why would they...?"

He looked at me, hesitant. "Well... umm... work more or less..." he trailed off quietly.

I looked down at the ground, deep in thought. I didn't know why, but I had the sudden feeling that he wasn't exactly telling the truth. I sighed to myself and looked up at him. I wanted to ask, but staying quiet would be the best option.

"I'm sorry I can't say all of it. You wouldn't believe me anyways."

I glanced up and shrugged lightly. "Try me."

He took a deep breath and sighed. "We're werewolves..." he looked up at me, trying to see what my reaction was.

My eyes widened slightly, I fel dizzy. How was this possible? I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. "You're a what?" I breathed out.

"Werewolf..." he said quietly, his expression worried, slightly hurt.

I nodded slowly, taking in the new information. I turned to stare at him. "But.. How?" I asked, suddenly feeling confused.

"It's in my blood. And Sam imprinted on Emily. That's why he had to leave Leah for her. Just like I imprinted on you..." he said shyly.

"Imprinted?" I asked, I wasn't sure what it meant exactly. "And wait, are there more werewolves?"

"Imprinting is like love at first sight. Only much more stronger," he explained to me. "And yes, there's a whole pack."

"Oh," she blushed and smiled softly to herself. She hoped he didn't see the smile. "How much are in the pack?" I asked, my curiousity still not quenched.

"Ten," he answered before his warm lips crushed mine.

Whoa. The author actually uploaded another chapter? After like MONTHS. Yeah, looks like it. It's pretty dang long, too.
