I saw her at her locker the next morning; it was still hard to walk up to her, thinking I'm going to do something stupid. "Summer," she looked over at me and smiled, I can make her smile! She waiting till I was in front of her to say:

"Hey,"

"Hey so you want to walk home again today?"

Her face sort of fell, "oh SETH, Ben promised to take me home today for sure," she paused my heart sank, "maybe tomorrow," she added.

I managed to smile, "right that's Ben, always bouncing back," she giggled a little, "I'll see you later," she said as she walked off, she was so beautiful, I couldn't be mad or upset. She looked back at me and then where she was going, just that made my day lighten up a little more. Sometimes I just wish I was like stone, so I couldn't feel anything. The jealousy of my friends and their imprints or of how Summer denied me (in a way).

I walked out from the school after tutoring to see her. She looked so cold, "So Ben forgot you?" I said she jumped a little, COME ON SETH NOW YOUR SCARING HER! I thought. "I guess," she was not happy as she turned back to the road like Ben was going to just appear. "What are the odds huh?" WHAT? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! She rolled her eyes, "look if its anything like yesterday…he's not coming, so do you want to start walking before it gets dark?" I just had to tell the truth, she looked taken aback by my stubbornness and honesty, but really I knew she wasn't that girl, I could see past the act. Her frown transformed into a smile, we began walking and I was trying to make small talk, asking about homework and school. "You cold?" she just shook her head like the rest of her body, "here," I took off my leather jacket, and lightly slid it around her shoulders. "What about you?" "Oh no I am fine," it was true, I could stand in a snow storm and it would feel like I'm in a desert. We talked about how often Ben left us, " What brought you to the reservation of La Push? You did come from California right?"

"How did you-"

"Jessica and my mom are best friends,"

She was quiet for a minute, "my parents passed away a few months ago," my heart hurt for her, for her parents, she looked so hurt.

"I am so sorry," that's all you can say?

She just continued to be silent, "do you mind if I ask how?"

She just looked at me, we were both stopped at this point, and her eyes were so beautiful to look into, like I could get lost at sea. You could see the trouble and sadness hidden in them, "A robber…he killed them, I was at a sleep over," I felt so bad, I wanted to hug her…hold her try to give back what he took from her. All I did was take her warm hand in mine, "I am truly sorry," I said meaning every word. She smiled staring into my eyes as if she was trying to find the lie…like I didn't mean it, but I was going to prove her wrong, I meant every word. "Summer," we both looked over to see Ben standing by his car, she dropped my hand, I could feel her anger. "You forgot me again," she stormed in, I could see Ben sigh, "wish me luck," he said as he walked in after her.

The next early morning

Seth- Jacobs voice echoed in my head

What?I thought back, I wish I could just turn them all off.

Meeting at Sam's come on, and JUST ASK HER OUT GOD DAMNIT!

Seriously dude-Jared

Yeah come on Seth– Paul

"LEAH! MEETING!" I yelled downstairs, no answer

I know I'm half-way there and don't turn off my thoughts!- she replied in my head

How did I do that?- I asked

You're thinking of summer to much

Just the mention of her name gives me butterflies. "Be back later mom," she knew what that meant, I can tell every time we go out she grows a little older. I braced myself for the fiery pain. Once I opened myself everything was different, I was lower and faster, seeing the world as an animal now. It felt like heaven to run as fast as I was, every muscle was in motion. In my peripheral I could see the white fur of Leah; she was a strong wolf not as fast as me though. It was fun to race her because she gets so mad when she loses. No matter what the fastest one of the whole pack is Jacob, he has been my lifelong friend, I knew I could always count on him; he was the first to welcome me into the pack, next to Jared. We have all been through a lot, considering for a while we split from our original pack, Sam wanted to kill the "bloodsuckers" Bella and her half human daughter Renesmee. Renesmee is Jacob's imprint, he, Leah and I fought for their lives alongside the Cullens. Once Sam saw that we can all live in the same world and still have peace, he welcomed us all back. I still visit the Cullens and tag along with Jacob and Renesmee (who are FINALLY dating). I could see the small cottage, I braced myself once more and I could feel my feet to the ground once more. "SETH LETS GO!" Jacob called from the door, I walked into the house and stood by Jacob, I must have been really late, Sam didn't look happy. "Sorry. Homework," I made up, I could see Jacob trying not to laugh next to me, "it's fine," said Sam. "Now we have the annual bonfire coming up, all of the reservation is coming and I expect all of you to bet there," Emily (Sam's fiancé) said, "when is the wedding again?" Embry asked, "in two months," Emily and Sam have been engaged for about four years now. They were supposed to get married two years ago but then everything with the Cullens and if not that then more things come up, "its official this time?" Jacob snorted, everyone silently laugh while Sam just shot a look. "Something is coming boys," Sam spoke more serious now, we were all quiet waiting for him to tell us what. "I feel it's another one of us," "what?" we all said in unison,

"that's impossible," came from Jacob,

"we don't know that, we are the biggest pack that anyone of the tribes know of. That doesn't mean these individuals can go off and hurt a person, my friend in Alberta has been sayings there have been a lot of killings. When I asked him what caused them he said wolf bits, not the usual, these bits were bigger, as if the intension were to destroy and leave not kill and eat."

"What do we do?" Jacob asked

"if it comes here, we must kill it."

The thought of killing anyone, wolf or human still scares me, I mean we killed the bloodsucker Victoria, but that was for Bella…for our friend.
