Chapter Four: Legends (Seth)
"Seth! This place is just so beautiful!" She yelled to me over her shoulder.
No, I thought. You are.
I walked over to where she was sitting with her feet in the water. I dropped down next to her and slung my arm around her. She scooted closer to me and I kissed her forehead.
I then realized it was the first time I had kissed her at all. I wanted to tell her so about me, and the wolves, and the Imprinting. But I wondered if it was too soon. I decided to find out what she already knew, if she knew anything.
"Kasey," I started off, "Have you ever heard any of the Quileute legends?" I asked her, wanting her to say yes, but at the same time wanting her to say no. It Was all happening to quickly.
"You mean the ones about the Spirit Warriors and the werewolves?"
I just looked at her, not expecting her to know anything about it.
"Yeah." I started , "How'd you know?"
"My dad used to tell me them when I was little. I could hardly understand them then because of all the big words." She told me, laughing.
"Really? You can understand big words!" I said, messing with her.
"Hey." She said smacking me on the arm. "Be nice."
"You think I'm mean?" I said, pretending to be hurt .
"No." She said looking me dead in the eyes with a very serious expression on her face. "I think you're the nicest person I know." She told me, hugging me close. At that moment, there was absolutely nowhere else I'd rather be.
"So you know about the legend of boys turning into wolves?" I said with a now-or-never mentality.
"Uh, yeah. What about it?" She asked, more focused on the shore then me.
I sighed mentally and turned to look her in the eyes. She became confused and looked back at me.
"What if they were true?" I asked her, watching her expression closely.
"That'd be super epic." She said, smiling.
"Really?" I asked, not believing my ears. "The whole gigantic wolves wouldn't bother you?"
"Nope. I mean, they're the good guys, right? Protecting us from the…"
"The Cold Ones." I finished for her.
"Yeah. Them. "She said, looking at me gratefully. " I would love it if they were real." She finally concluded, looking out into the sea.
She was honestly sent from heaven, perfect for me in every way, just as they all said she'd be.
I didn't know how to proceed. I couldn't just tell her out of nowhere. I mean, we honestly barely knew each other. Not that it much mattered to me, but I really didn't want to scare her off.
"Guess what." I told her, trying to distract her.
"What?" She asked, looking up at me.
"There's this bonfire tomorrow. If you want, we could go. There's gonna be a bunch of people, and food." I told her. It would be perfect. She could hear the stories from Billy, and I'll ask him to throw In the part about imprinting. I'll show her after, and all will be great.
"I'd love to go. Sounds like fun." Yes!
"Good. I'll pick you up at seven then."
"Sounds like a date."
Just at that point, I looked down at my phone, and it said it was seven o'clock. Kasey saw what time it was too and jumped off the ground, and out of my arms.
"Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man…" She said, looking unhappy. It broke my heart to see her sad.
"I have to get home." She said, "I told my mom I'd be home at seven thirty!"
Without another word, I swept her up in my arms, I ran with her through the forest and into Forks. She looked so little in my arms. And she was just so beautiful.
"Ha, ha, ha!" She burst out laughing as we ran.
"What's so funny?" I asked, breathing completely normal, though I'd been running for at least five minutes straight.
"Who does this?" She said, more as a sarcastic statement then a question, still cracking up.
"People who need to meet curfew?" I said, laughing with her.
"There's all… These people… Staring!" She said between fits of laughter.
Clearly seven o'clock was delirious hour.
"Ha. I guess they are." I said, laughing because I hadn't realized it before.
We ran for a minute or so more before I set her down.
"Thanks for the lift." She told me after I'd walked her to her door.
"No prob." I said chuckling.
"So… I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" She said, looking… Nervous?
"See you tomorrow." I said, sad to have to leave her.
"Bye." She said opening the door and stepping through, leaving me alone on the front porch.
I turned away, happy and sad all at the same time. Happy, because I'd had such an amazing day, but sad, because I had to leave her.
When I was half-way down the street, I heard my angel yelling and running after me.
"Seth! Wait up!" I heard her yell from behind me.
I turned around right at the same moment she smacked into me. Our faces met from the impact, and we kissed. It was purely accident, and frankly, it was really awkward, but at the same time, it was perfect in everyway possible. Kasey wrapped her arms around my neck and stood up on her tiptoes to deepen the kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer. At that moment, there was nowhere else in the world I'd rather of been.
So that's that. Reviews are always welcome (;
And just a question for you all:
Of those of you that have seen the Sandlot, is it just me, or is Benny the epitome of sexy ( as far as fourteen year old boys go)?
Loll,
Much love,
Ashley.
