Bella's POV
It was four days after the incident, everyone was anxious as they knew that a normal transformation should have ended by now or is about to end. Jacob and Leah had reported to the tribe about what was happening and some of the responses were less than encouraging.
"Sam, Paul, and Jared were furious. They shuttered at the idea of Seth becoming a vampire. When I asked how they would react to Seth they didn't give me an answer" Jacob explained.
"How will you react if he becomes a vampire?" I asked Jacob, no answer.
"How did his mother take it?" I asked, trying to avoid the subject of Jacob's feelings toward the situation.
"She was disgusted when I told her the possibility of Seth becoming a vampire, she hates the idea of her son being a vampire"
~Flashback~
Jacob's POV
"Carlisle says that there is a strong possibility that Seth will adapt some if not all vampire traits, he could be one of them" I explained to Seth's mother, Sue.
"He's going to be one of those blood suckers….those leeches? This isn't happening, my own son can't turn into one of those things" Sue screamed
"What if he does become one of them? You are going to have to deal with that sooner or later, you can't hate your son for being a vampire" I tried to convincer her.
"I won't. If he becomes one of them, I have no son"
~End~
"That's ridiculous, how can she crucify Seth for something that's not even his fault? It's not fair at all? Does Leah know about this?" I said as quickly as possible, I was too impatient to wait for answers.
"Leah is acting the same way as Sam and the others, though in a way it's a good thing. At least she's giving it some thought"
"This isn't something you should have to think about, he's family!" I screamed
"I can't believe how your were all acting, you are acting as if Seth turned into the enemy, if he does become a vampire its not like he will turn into them. He will still be the same Seth." I exclaimed.
"Maybe" Edward chimed in
"What do you mean maybe?" I said with a disgusted look on my face, Jacob also had a confused look on his face, eager to hear what Edward had to say.
"When someone is turned into a vampire, if they are not strong enough then they could let their thirst for blood control them and become a killing machine. Given Seth's nature of being a werewolf, he will already have a short fuse and already be way more dangerous than a normal newborn vampire"
"Short fuse? Seth always seems calm, I have never seen him even raise his voice." I questioned Edward.
"It's a werewolf thing, even if one can hide it as well as Seth does, once angry they explode and there's almost nothing that can stop them." Explained Edward, Jacob nodded his head once, he agreed.
"Since newborns already anger easily, this is a recipe for disaster" Edward finished his theory.
I tried to think of a counter but I couldn't, he was right. Everything that Edward had said all made sense; it was only a matter of time before we see if he was right. I could tell that Edward thought he was right though he had a look on his face that wished he was wrong. We all did.
All of a sudden Carlisle walked in the room where Seth was lying; he and Edward began to install a strange type of restraining belt around Seth's body.
"What is all this!?" Jacob asked angrily.
"We can't take any chances, he would be dangerous if he were a human transforming into a vampire but a werewolf into a vampire can be twice as catastrophic, we have to be sure he can be restrained so he does not injure anyone. He may wake up startled but he can still communicate with us and give us an update on where his mind is at" Carlisle explained.
Jacob looked as if he wanted to say something but he knew that Carlisle was right, he just didn't want to admit it. Rather than tell them that they were right he just backed off and showed that he was going to let them handle it.
A few hours later Seth's eyes flickered, he tried to open them but adjusting to the light was hard after his eyes were closed for four days. He tried to move his arms and legs but couldn't and he had a sudden surge of panic.
"Seth its ok, you're safe" Jacob said calming Seth down
Seth wasn't sure what was going on but it was obvious that he was comforted by Jacob's presence, someone he trusted very well. As he opened his eyes wider everyone's jaws dropped/ Seth's eyes were sharp red, the color of a newborn.
"Get Bella out of here" Carlisle commanded, Edward was about walk me out of the room when Seth began to struggle.
Seth's eyes were wide open, he was snarling, desperate to free himself. The scent of my blood was overwhelming to him. A few seconds passed and he was loosening the restraints while Carlisle and Jacob tried to hold him down while the others braced themselves.
"Get Bella out of here, now!" Carlisle yelled, he knew that Seth would break free.
Edward took me off of my feet and ran out of the house and to the far end of the yard. He was concentrating on the house, unaware of what was going to happen. Then suddenly Seth came running towards us but Carlisle and Emmett grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground. Seth was about to break free so Emmett threw Seth in the opposite direction of Edward and I.
Before Seth even got to his feet he phased, he was now in wolf form, after me. Jacob phased and grabbed the back of Seth's neck and pushed him towards the house. Emmett and Carlisle grabbed Seth and threw him as hard as they could into the woods. Edward picked me up and began running in the opposite direction. The last thing I saw was Jake looking back at me and then pursuing Seth with Carlisle and Emmett.
Everything was a blur; Edward may have been running as fast as he could. I wanted him to stop but I couldn't process what was happening. We were being attacked by Seth, sweet Seth. It didn't make any sense. He was a vampire werewolf; so many thoughts were crossing through my mind. The look in Seth's eyes when he looked at me was terrifying.
"Stop, stop please!" I screamed. I was getting sick.
"Almost there" Edward answered.
Shortly after Edward came to a stop, we were on top of a giant hill; we could see everything from here. We must have been miles away from the Cullen house by now. Edward's face expression was filled with confusion and curiosity, I bet everyone was.
"Are you alright love?" Edward asked
"Yeah….no, no I'm not. What just happened? Seth just tried to kill me" I almost yelled at Edward.
"Remember that wasn't Seth, he just needs to adapt to not drinking human blood"
"He's never drank human blood before though"
"There is still human blood inside of him that has yet to be converted, it drives the newborns crazy. So much human blood right inside of them yet they can't drink it. It's the reason why newborn vampires are so aggressive." Edward explained.
"So what's going to happen?"
"Seth just needs to be calmed down. He should be calmed being this far away from you. I never expected him to phase into a wolf, I assumed that since he had the red eyes that he would be a full vampire. His situation is very complicated, calming him down as a wolf will not be easy"
"How will we know when it's safe?"
"My whole family knows about this place, when there is an emergency and we have to split up, we rendezvous here when the situation has cleared up and it is safe."
"So we just wait?"
"All we can do, what happened today is going to have a heavy impact on a lot of thing and a lot of people, things will get very complicated"
"What's going to happen to Seth and the wolf pack?"
"I am not sure but their tribe isn't the only people involved in this anymore, how the Volturi will respond is a mystery to me. If Seth was to become a vampire and nothing else then there would be nothing to discuss but a half vampire half werewolf, it is unheard of."
"Will they kill him?" I asked frighteningly
"I don't know what is going to happen"
It seemed that nothing good could come from this; Seth's life seemed to have spiraled into a whirlpool. Nothing was set and stone anymore, anything could happen. He could lose his family, friends, and his life. I was sacred for him; I couldn't imagine how he could feel.
Suddenly Alice came running up the hill and towards us.
"They calmed down Seth?" Edward asked
"Yes, Jacob was able to reason with him and calm him down, he's very upset with himself, he feels terrible, Bella. Though we can go back now, Carlisle told us that Seth cannot be around any humans until he is able to control himself better" Alice said.
"So I can't see him?" I uttered
"Just not yet, give him time."
"Ill take you to Charlie's, its getting late and you must be tired" Edward said, he was right and I was a bit too exhausted to argue any further.
When we arrived at my dad's house he was happy to see me, I haven't seen him in over a week though it feels longer than that. Edward didn't say much before going back to the Cullen house. He walked me up to my room and said he will see me in the morning and kissed me. Every time I experience a life threatening situation a kiss from Edward feels more and more special. I was anxious to find out what was going to happen to Seth and everyone else, falling asleep was difficult but as I was thinking of everything that had happened in the past few days I nodded off.
