Katie
When I got home from Soffie's the evening there was a voicemail from the police. It said that they had some information on my aunt and that I should come into the station to hear it.
I grabbed the keys and made my way to the car. Worry and fear filled my body, as all the possibilities, other than my aunt coming home, filled my head. I really didn't want to go down there alone, so I decided to call Seth.
"Hello?" It was so good to hear his bright voice. I took a deep breath before answering. I realized I was shaking.
"Um… could you come down to the station with me? They just called about my aunt and I'm not sure I want to be alone. I have a feeling its bad," I said. My voice was starting to crack and I was holding back tears.
"Sure Katie. I don't have access to a car right now though," his told me. I walked to the front door to check the drive way. My aunts silver Toyota was still parked there, untouched. At least the car was still there, leaving me a form of transportation other than Soffie and Nate.
"I have a car. I can pick you up if you like?" I suggested. I was starting to wish I had just called Nate. I wasn't sure what told me to pick Seth to come, but it was starting to regret it. If he came I would spend the whole time worrying about my romance situation, instead of my aunt. Soffie would have been the best. Too late now though.
"Oh! Great. I can run over there faster than you can drive probably. I'll be at your house in a few minutes," he said and then the line went dead. He could run all the way to my house from the reservation faster than I could drive. What world was he living in I thought. Then I remembered something about how fast werewolves were supposed to run.
I still couldn't get used to the idea of that…the werewolf thing. A werewolf was uncontrollable attracted to me. It seemed so weird even after a couple of days. I wondered if I would ever get used to it.
What would it be like to say to Soffie, "oh yeah, I'm dating a werewolf," or to say to Aunt Stacy, "When you meet him, just know he is um a mythical creature that slays vampires. But don't worry about anything else." I chuckled. The fact that he was a werewolf meant that few things would be able to touch me with him around.
I walked to the sink and splashed some cool water on my face. My heart began beating faster when I remembered my aunt. I prayed that she would be okay. I was shaking. I went up to my room and changed into a long sleeve shirt, in an attempt to warm myself. I continued to shake so I grabbed my coat. Other than the thin layer of sweat that covered my forehead, this helped the shaking a little.
The doorbell rang and I dashed downstairs to great Seth. I opened the door to see a smiling Nate. Crap. He stepped inside and we made our way to the kitchen.
"Hey, I was wondering if…" The doorbell rang again. My heart stopped beating for a second as my stomached dropped. My protector and my boyfriend together in the same room was a bad idea. One was a werewolf and the other was a wrestler two years ago. Who do you think would win?
"Who's that?" Nate asked. I did my best to think of a cover story. I could never tell him that it's the werewolf who says he has imprinted on me. I would have to expose everyone that way and I knew that this was a secret I was trusted with. I probably would have never found out if I wasn't Seth's imprintie.
"Um…it's just a friend I met down in La Push. We're going to the station for news on my Aunt," I covered. I could see he didn't buy it. I made my way to answer the door. Seth looked as cute as ever. He waited for me to invite him in, before stepping into the crowded kitchen. It felt like the walls were caving.
None of this was my fault. Stupid werewolves. If it wasn't for them then my life would be normal. I wouldn't be questioning if the love of my life was the love of my life. I stared at Nate and then back to Seth.
"Who are you?" Nate demanded. Seth instantly looked uncomfortable. He stepped away from Nate before answering.
"Hi, I'm Seth Clearwater from the reservation. You?" he extended a friendly hand. Thank God Seth was so good natured and sweet. If I had had two Nates in the room there would have been a blood battle.
"I'm Nate, Katie's BOYFRIED!" Nate looked ready to kill. I had to stop them before Nate got hurt. If Seth attacked him, I was sure he wouldn't have a chance.
"Guys! Let's all three just go to the station. I need to figure out what's going on with my aunt. Please?" I was getting anxious. The possibilities were getting worse by the second and I didn't think I could take much more.
"Why didn't you call me Katie?" Nate asked, hurt filling his voice. I hated hurting him. It was torture. He had lost me to Seth and he knew it too. He still looked like he would have killed Seth if he was human.
I didn't answer his question. It burned in my mind. It was too painful to answer. I couldn't tell him about Seth. It would crush him if he found out. I had to end our relationship soon. I'll tell him tomorrow.
We all stood there staring at each other. Nate kept glancing between Seth and me and Seth's gaze stayed fixed on Nate. My eyes flickered from Seth to Nate and then to the keys. I ran over the counter, breaking the stillness and held them in the air.
All three of us shuffled to the car in silence. Seth looked so sad and Nate looked angry as hell. We silently stepped into the silver vehicle. Nate took his place up front while Seth spread out in the back. I started the engine.
"You know what? I think I'll take my car," she suggested, emphasizing my car. He stepped out and jogged to his truck. Seth climbed into the front and buckled up. We sat there with out speaking, the hum of the engine the only sound. Nate backed up and headed in the direction of the station.
"What's his problem?" Seth asked as we pulled away. I followed Nate's trail carefully, concentrating on driving and my aunt. It was too much to think about the tension that still clouded the two cars. Just get there in one piece, I kept telling myself.
We pulled into the station a few minutes later. I needed the truth. Fear spread from my heart to the tips of my fingers. My heart began pounding as we stepped into the office. I felt like I was going to throw up. Seth looked over at me and winked. I was already too worried about Aunt Stacy to react. Normally I would have smiled but a cold stare was plastered on my face.
"Hi, I'm Katie Seywin. I got a call about my Aunt Stacy." I could barely keep the tears back, as I choked the words. Seth was getting nervous. I could feel the tension, of Nate and my fear, radiating off him. Nate looked worried too, but more about Seth than my aunt. I clung to the desk hoping I wouldn't collapse when he shared the news.
"Oh yes, Miss Seywin. I have some awful new about your aunt," He looked sympathetic, like he had been in the same situation. "We found her body in a dumpster outside the mini mart this afternoon. The strange thing was that all her blood had been drained." A puzzled look spread across his face.
My knees buckled and I fell to the floor. Aunt Stacy was…dead. She was dead. Dead. As in gone. Forever. Was my life just a cruel joke!? First my brother and mother and now my aunt! I was the only one left. I had lost the last person I had.
Why was my life the joke, huh? I got good grades. I never did anything too bad. I worked hard and was respectful. I listened well. I had always been a good friend. I had never done anything wrong, so why was the world taking everything away from me. I was too stunned to cry. I just sat there staring.
"Do you have somewhere to stay?" the officer asked. I knew I had to lie. If I told him I had no other family to turn to, he would send me away. I couldn't live alone, but I had no where to go. I could always ask Soffie. For now I would just have to make something up till I figured it out. I nodded my head enough for him to see.
Seth grabbed my arm and helped me stand up. "C'mon, let's go home." I followed him to my car. I was still too stunned to do anything. He pried the keys out of my fingers. They had turned white from gripping them so hard, and there were some cuts on my palm.
"So now you're going to take her home and take advantage of her! Take advantage of a poor suffering girl! You're so sick, you know that?" It was an accusation. I couldn't believe Nate. What was his problem?
"This is about Katie. She just lost her aunt! Someone has to help her get home and take care of her. And I would never do that to Katie, but maybe you would. Just back off, okay?" Seth was breathing heavy. He looked like he was about to explode. Nate had pushed all the wrong buttons.
All I could do was watch as the two of them stared at each other. They both did their best to seem big and strong. I began weighing the odds in my head. If they got into a fight, Seth would win hands down. Nate worked out but he wasn't a werewolf. He didn't have the same kind of strength.
They began moving closer together, circling in an attempt to watch each other. "You wanna fight, boy?" Nate was the first to speak. They stopped moving.
"I don't want to fight you." Seth said. He was getting angrier by the second. Nate didn't answer. He just raised his fist and punched Seth right in the jaw. Nate replied with and even stronger blow to the temple. At that moment I was sure Seth could've killed Nate.
I mustered up the courage to speak. "Boys! I just lost the last family I had left and you two start a fight in a parking lot. Grow up!" I was just as furious now. I walked over and stood between them. Seth looked the angriest. I turned to face Nate. "Nate," disappointment filled my voice.
He had just accused Seth of something he would never do. It was also something he had tried to do not too long ago. I searched his face for a sign of an apology. Nothing. We coldly stared at each other for a few minutes before someone spoke.
"I'm going home," Nate stated. He climbed into his truck and sped off. I watched him disappear as Seth wrapped his arms around me. I turned around and buried my head in his chest. I began crying. The harder I sobbed, the tighter we held me. He was so patient. We must have stood there for a good 20 min.
"Would you like to stay at Sam and Emily's with me for a while? At least until you find a place to stay?" he suggested. It was an honest proposal, not an attempt to take advantage of me. I nodded and buried my head again. "I'll take you by your house so you can get a few things." He was so nice.
Seth pulled me over to the car and helped me in. He started the engine and we sped to my house. It was quiet, but not awkward. I was glad that Seth was with me. He always gave me a sense of security.
After I had packed a bag for a couple of nights he took me to Sam and Emily's. When I stepped inside I was bombarded with hugs and sad faces. Everyone was apologizing and telling me I was welcome to anything they could do for me. I guessed Seth had called them while I was packing.
I sat down on the couch and pulled the blanket over me. Seth grabbed my hand and pulled me into the other room. So much for relaxing. He pulled me into the yard and then the thick forest.
We finally emerged into a clearing. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. I almost cried again when I saw him. He cleared his throat and stared straight ahead. He wouldn't look at me.
"You know what killed your aunt was a vampire. The blood was drained out of her. They are so careless, those blood suckers. I will find whoever killed your aunt and…" He didn't finish. A vampire had? That was new? For some reason I didn't react. I was angry still though.
Seth place and arm over my shoulder and drew me into his chest. I didn't realize till then that I was crying again. He tenderly wiped away the tear streaking down my right cheek.
"You make me feel so safe," I confided. "You're so brave and strong and just thanks," I said with a sniffle. I realized how close we were. He leaned his head down, his lips just inches from mine.
"Good. I'm here to protect you" his warm breathe blew across my lips as he spoke. And then we were kissing. It was a kiss full of love. Seth wrapped his other arm tightly around me and pulled me in closer. Before I knew what was happening I had reached up and knotted my fingers in his hair.
Wait what am I doing? I pulled away and looked at him. He looked happy. I betrayed Nate. I had said I wouldn't. I betrayed him. I pulled away from Seth's embrace and ran back towards the house.
I fumbled inside and grabbed the keys. I jumped in and floored it. I didn't know where I was going, I just drove. After about 10 minutes of cruising, I pulled over. I sat there staring out the window thinking of all I had lost. I didn't cry I just thought. Then I climbed in the back and lay down to go to sleep.
