Chapter 3

I slowly opened my eyes, as I slowly sat up. The wool blanket that was placed over me, pooled around my waist as I stretched. 'What time is it?' I thought, trying to figure out my jumbled thoughts.

'Where's Jonah?' I instantly became aware that the little body that had been curled up against me, was missing.

I stood up from the bed I and my little brother had recently occupied, and started down the hall. I went down the stairs, then stopped. I remembered where I was, and where Jonah and I have been staying the past week or so. I patted my hair down to a tangible mess, and entered the kitchen. Leah was already feeding Jonah, Sue was putting breakfast on another plate, and Seth was sitting beside his sister, but staring at me. I blushed slightly and sat.

Since the past week, Seth has always been watching me whenever he was home. And strangely, I didn't mind. We became a little closer, but I was still suspicious about the wolves from earlier, and I had my theories. All crazier then the next. Leah always had Jonah, and barely left him alone either.

"How was your sleep dear?" Sue asked, as she placed the plate of food in front of me.

"It was good. Thank-you Sue." I said, as I dug in.

Over the past week, I was getting used to eating food again. And today, I was making sure I would eat all of this.

"I have to go. Another Council meeting for the elders. I'll be gone most of the day." Sue said, as she started to leave.

There were resounding 'byes, love yous, have fun' from the three of us as she left. I side glanced back at Seth, and blushed when he caught me watching him. I went back to my food, trying to keep the blush from my face.

'Why do I feel like a love sick puppy when he's around? Why does my heart beat so fast when ever I walk beside him?' These thoughts were jumbled in my head, as I finished eating.

"So, Ash, what do you want to do?" Seth asked using his nickname for me, as he took up the seat Jonah had preoccupied before Leah put him on her lap.

"Perhaps explore. I haven't been to the beach yet." I said, looking up at him.

'His eyes... Such a gorgeous brown.' I thought, as I got caught into his stare. And he seemed to be caught in mine.

I could almost count the different shades that were in them. His face seemed so smooth, and jawline so strong and fine.

'Pull yourself together Ashton.' I tried thinking to myself. But another part of me whined. 'But... I don't want to.'

"Helllloooo, Ashton, Seth!" A hand waved in between us, and I stepped back seeing Leah holding Jonah on her lap. And behind her was Embry, Collin and Brady.

"The boys came to talk to you Seth. Come Ashton, let's plan you and Jonah's day." Leah said, leading me away from the Kitchen.

(Seth POV)

I was so happy, looking into her eyes, of gray. Did you know there was brown near her pupil? But then... I sighed, and glared at the boys that had to get me.

"This better be important. I was so close." I growled at them, but they smirked.

"Awe, is little Seth upset he won't be able to spend the day with his lil girlfriend?"

"We aren't even going out!" I growled, putting Embry in a headlock.

He chuckled and broke free. "Yet. Anyways, the two packs are meeting. Something interesting happened last night, while you were here cuddling with your little Vixen."

My eyes narrowed. "For your information, we, including Leah, Jonah and my mom, watched a movie. She was the first to fall asleep."

We headed out of the house, and phased soon as we reached the forest line.

/What's this about?/ I asked soon as we took off running.

/We aren't really sure. Just that Sam and Jacob called a joint pack meeting./ Embry answered.

/Yeah, so don't shoot the messengers./ Brady said, as he and Collin ran behind me.

I huffed. We soon slowed down as we came to treaty line. I padded over to stand behind Jacob with Embry.

/Where is Leah? We need you all here./ Jacob asked.

/Leah is distracting her./ I explained as I sat by Quil, and Embry.

/... Alright./ Jake sighed, and looked over to Sam. /We have reason to believe that... Ashton and her bother might not be completely safe in La Push./ Jake explained.

I was confused, along with others. /What do you mean?/ I asked, getting up and walking closer.

Jake sighed, and an image ran through our thoughts.

;A blond vampire comes into view, walking towards the Cullens. Hands them a video tape and picture before rushing back from where ever she came from. The faces of Ashton and Jonah pop up in the picture, wearing the clothes that Alice and Leah had given Ashton. And the clothes Jonah was give, from before Nessie was found out to be a girl.;

I snapped, and began growling. /Holy crap... How... When... I'm going to fricken-/

/Seth, calm down./

/I can't! My imprint is being stalked! Along with Leah's!/ I growled.

/Wait...Leah imprinted on the squirt? Is that why she hasn't phased?/ Collin asked, tilting his head as he caught the message.

/... Yeah, she did. It's kind of why she hasn't been on boarder patrol or anything. Doesn't want to leave him for a moment. And he always wants her... If Ashton is unavailable./ I explained, sighing.

I looked over to Sam, and my eyes narrowed. /How did they get past your patrols? How could you not have scented them?/ I asked, my thought/voice sounding suspiciously calm.

/We don't know. But I suggest-/

/Don't even think it! She doesn't trust vampires! And for good reason./ I snapped knowing what he was about to say.

/Seth.../ Jake said in a warning tone.

I glared at him, then others who had imprinted. /Would you make your imprint go to a place where they feel like they can't trust anyone? Well? Would you?/ I asked them.

They shifted, no coherent thoughts on the matter.

/But Seth, they will be able to protect her better./ Jake pointed out. /A Mind-Reader, a Physic, and a Mind Shield. I know you hate to admit it, but she would be better protected... Even Sam agrees./

I huffed under my breath, and gave him a sideways glance. /Fine... But your telling Leah about this./ I swear if Jake was human, he would have paled enough to fit in with the Cullens.

~Later that day~

I walked into the house, Jake and Sam right behind me. We heard the laughter coming from the living, and headed towards the source. I smiled as I saw Ashton, and Leah had ganged up on Jonah, and were now continuously tickling him.

Ashton looked up as she felt my eyes watching her, and her eyes softened. Jake cleared his throat, getting Leah attention as well.

"Um... We need to talk, and tell you guys something." Jake said, motioning for the girls to sit properly on the couch. Ashton and Leah gave each other looks, before getting up from the ground, and sitting on the couch. Jonah hopped off and took off towards Sam, who scooped him up, and held him.

"What's up?" Ashton asked, searching for the answer before it could be given. Her beautiful eyes searching our faces.

It was going to break my heart when I see those bright eyes dim to fear. That and their day's plans were ruined before they began.

"We had thought, because the wolves are so prone to La Push, that you would both be safe. However, that's not the case anymore." Jake started off.

"What's going on Jacob?" Leah asked, her eyes boring into our Alpha.

"A... Vampire came and dropped off a photograph and a video tape to the Cullens late last night. The photograph showed... Ashton and Jonah wearing the clothes they wore a yesterday..." Jake explained.

Ashton's faced paled, and I heard her heart beating faster. She looked for Jonah. Sam, realizing this, brought him to her. She held him close, before looking up. "How... Did they get close enough?" She asked, looking at me.

I hung my head, and shrugged. "We aren't really sure." I said.

"So, this is why we've come to tell you, Ashton, that we are moving you and your brother to a safer place." Jake said.

Leah narrowed her eyes more. "Where?" She hissed.

"The... Cullens are willing to let you stay with them!" Jake said so fast, that even I almost didn't catch it.

"Wh... What?" I cringed at the terror that laced her voice.

"It'll be fine! I swear! Seth and I will be there the whole time." Jake tried to assure her.

She had started breathing rather fast, and I looked to my sister. No help there. She looked about ready to phase. Jonah didn't know what was happening, but he was getting upset that his sister was upset.

"Ahten? Otay?" He asked her, tilting his head, and placing both hands on either side of her face.

"Y... Yeah Jonah. I... I'm fine..." She said, her voice shaky.

He didn't buy it. For a three-year-old he sure could give off a mean glare. His brown/blue/black eyes bore into mine, like it was my fault she was upset. And in a way, it was. I was hurting his big sister, by saying, and agreeing, to go stay the Cullens. Even if she was brought there, it didn't lessen her fear of them.

"Bad Set, Sam, Jakob! No hurt Ahten!" He scolded us, and we properly looked ashamed.

"Look, Squirt, we don't mean to. We just have to keep you guys safe, is all." Jake tried to explain, using Collin and Brady's nickname for the kid.

"Why..."

We turned to Ashton, her gaze studying us.

"Why are you protecting us?" She asked, her eyes hardened, and suspicious.

"Because. The wolves that had saved you and your brother from the Leaches, would want us to help. They don't just show up for just anyone." Sam explained.

Her gaze was calculating. "And the wolves... Trust the Cullens?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yes. They really are the best protection and family of Vampires there are."

"... Alright, when do we go?"

And chapter 3 is done! And no worries! I am never putting this one on hold again! Girl Scouts honor! Anyways, Please Review! Or Aro will find me again...Hurry...
