A/N: I ended up cutting this chapter very short (aiming for 1500-2000 words per chapter for this story) because there is a big info drop that Seth has to attempt to explain and I wanted this chapter to end where it does.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Paul and Jared do not leave wolf form, instead they make the decision to chase after Seth. However, they do send Oliver back to the La Push to inform the other, more senior pack members about the what was currently happening.

Not too long after Oliver is sent away, Paul and Jared feel Sam join their mental link.

What in the world is going on? Comes Sam's strong, alpha voice. The question almost sounds like a command.

Oliver's explanation of the situation was not exactly clear. The kid just rambled on and on about Seth acting super weird. What's up with that? Sam continues. His voice sounds a little less alpha and demanding and more like their friend.

Neither Jared or Paul bother explaining; they let their memories do the talking.

First, Sam is hit with Paul's earlier memory of Seth in his black suit. They can feel Sam's mind clench with confusion.

Why?

Next, Sam is given the memory of Davina and Kit. The memory is physically jarring. It crashes over him in intense waves of love, peace, longing, and anguish. He's overcome with the feeling of missing something. Like Emily and his four sons have been taken from him and that there is no hope of them ever being returned to him. He whimpers at the feeling of loss and he feels physically ill.

Oh God…w-what…what is this?

Before Paul or Jared can even attempt to answer Sam's question, they mentally hear a woman humming. The tune only consists of four notes, but it still manages to be warm and soothing.

In their minds, they see the same woman again. Her kinky hair is still done in neat twists that are tied with a blue band and fall at her shoulders. She's dressed in a dark purple robe and her thin, lithe limbs are curled up in a gray and white rocking chair. Her bare feet hang off the chair; a silver, charmless bracelet hangs loosely from her left ankle. Hugging against her body like a baby koala, is the same child from the previous memory. Once again, the tiny girl sleeps. Her brown, curly hair is wild and fanned out all around her. The woman strokes one of the girl's soft, brown cheek with her hand, still humming.

When the one woman looks up at Seth, they see all the love and adoration she feels for him reflected in the dark depths of her eyes.

The feeling is almost paralyzing to Paul, Jared and Sam. It's like the imprint…but not. Instinctually, they know that this is not an imprint. It does not feel exactly the same, but the love and devotion is absolute. But it's off.

The memory shifts again.

They feel upset and fear.

They feel the woman's gaze on Seth. Her dark eyes are watery and her hands are folded across her chest. Her plump, pink lips are turned down in a deep frown. Her hair is a wild, half-fro.

The two are on the beach this time. They can feel the hot sand beneath Seth's feet, and see and feel the bright sunlight and the very little shade that comes from nearby palm tree.

"I choose to love you every day. I put a lot of effort in that choice and I expect the same of you."

Her voice is laced with hurt. They feel Seth's remorse wash over them in waves.

Before either wolf can contemplate on this idea of choosing to love, once again, Seth's troubled mind changes the scene.

The little girl is awake this time. She sits crossed leg on a chestnut brown, hardwood floor in light blue shorts and a green tank top. She's barefoot, her right-hand plays with toes of her left foot. As before, her curly hair is wild and uncombed. She greets Seth with a large, missing teeth smile.

Again, Sam, Jared, and Paul are drenched in love. All are fathers now and know this love all too well.

It's emotionally draining.

ENOUGH! Sam finally yells. Seth, what is going on?

It's a long moment before Seth answers.

I'm not from here. He finally answers.

Jared and Sam seem puzzled, but the realization dawns on Paul almost instantly.

You asked what year it was.

I did. Seth confirms.

You were wearing a suit.

Seth mentally chuckles before confirming that as well.

It no longer seems confusing to Paul. He asks what Sam and Jared want to know as well: How?

Anger rolls off Seth and he mentally growls out, A witch.
