Seth's POV

That night after I dropped off Shay at her house I headed over to Brady's house. He had invited me over last night when we were running home because there was a game on. I told him I would see but now I decided I should go. Shay was out with her sister (I didn't like it but I knew that they weren't going to do anything to her so didn't do anything about it.) And I thought it would help me get used to the feeling of us being separated. I parked my truck on the street and walked up the steps to the house. I didn't knock because I knew Brady would have heard me coming. Just as I thought I heard him call from the kitchen for me to come in. I opened the door and headed for the kitchen to find him with his head in the fridge.

I laughed. "Leave some for the rest of them. They need to eat too you know and I wouldn't mind a snack myself." I joked and sat down in one of the kitchen chairs.

"ha ha. Very funny." He said as he closed the door and through a coke at me. I caught it easily in one hand. "So what did your mom say when she found out you skipped again."

I shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't been home yet. She'll probably be waiting for me when I get there."

He smiled as he pored a couple of bags of chips into two bowls. "You can crash here if you want. I can lead you a change of clothes for tomorrow but I'll need it back. I'm running low on extra cloths lately. "

I got up from the chair and walked over to where he stood, poring another bag of chips into the bowl. I put one in my mouth. "Nah. I'll just get into more trouble if I did that. Besides your cloths wouldn't fit me."

He frowned. "You know I'm not that much smaller than you." I laughed and punched him in the arm before we both took a bowl and headed for the TV room downstairs. When we arrived Brady's two older brothers Ron and Tyler were already there taking up one of the two couches. Ron was the oldest and he was about twenty and Tyler was nineteen. They were both quite big. About six feet two each and they both worked out a lot. I still thought it funny that they were scared of us because before I phased I was scared of them. They used to beat me and Brady up all the time but when Brady phased it ended pretty quickly. What makes me laugh even harder is that I noticed them working out a lot more. Probably trying to even it out as much as they can.

"Hey Seth!" Tyler said and punched me in the arm as hard as he could when I sat down on the other couch beside him. He was definitely getting stronger but not enough to do any damage.

I laughed his attempt to hurt me. "Nice try but it didn't hurt." I said with a smirk and laid back on the couch.

"Oh! Come on do you guys feel any pain." He yelled and through his arms in the air and Ron turned to glared at him for a moment.

Brady chuckled from beside me. "Did it ever occur to you guys that it might work better if you used a crowbar or a bat to try and hurt us instead of hurting yourselves every time you hit one of us?"

Tyler looked over at Ron and they both smirked at the same time. Sometimes I wonder if they share a mind. "I think dad has a crowbar in the garage."

Ron nodded. "And I can get my bat from my room." And with that they were out of the room and up the stairs.

Brady got up from the couch and headed out the door "This is going to be interesting." We laughed as we walked outside and waited for the two boys to come out. When they did, the first thing they said was no phasing. "It still freaks them out to see us phase." Brady said from beside me and nudged me with his elbow.

"Really?" A smile spread across my face.

"Are not." Ron said and crossed his arms and trying to make himself as tall as he could.

"Okay than this shouldn't bother you." I said and started to take my shirt off. Both of their faces went white. "Oh! Relax! I wasn't actually going to do it. I want you to get a shot at me. Let's see what you got." I smiled smugly as Brady and I both raise our arms to show that we were ready. The two boys looked at each other quickly before they started running toward us. Ron the oldest one ran at me while Tyler ran for Brady. Ron came with him metal bat and rammed it into my arm that had fallen to my side. There was a loud crack when the bat made contact with the bottom part of my arm and a slight pain that only lasted a few seconds. I looked down at my arm and flexed. The pain was gone and my arm was already healed. I laughed at Ron's shocked face. "You're going to need to do better than that Ron. That barely hurt." He frowned and hit me again on the side. The same loud crack and the same dull pain. I still couldn't get over the fact that they were using their full strength of us. I looked over to where Tyler was running after Brady with the crowbar over his head. Brady was running backward and was still faster than Tyler. "Catch me if you can." He yelled, laughing. I thought back to a couple of years ago when the guys didn't know we were werewolves yet. We were sitting outside on the porch and saw the two boys coming at us, cracking their knuckles and smiling. They were getting ready to beat us up and we had just agreed to show them how it felt.


Flash back

Even when we had grown bigger than them, they still consider us small and powerless. They walked side by side with smug smiles spread across their faces. We were just deciding on what we were going to do them when they came. We wanted to show to them what it felt like and we were coming up with some good stuff. We weren't actually going to hurt them. Just spin them around a couple of times because now it would be too easy to hurt them. We were stronger, faster and smarter than they were and they were about to find that out the hard way. Brady hadn't noticed them yet so I nudged him with my elbow and motioned to them. He looked over a big smile creped onto is face. We stood up and walked of the porch. "Remember, stay calm." I whispered. He nodded but the smile never faded. Brady had been a werewolf for about three weeks. He had been staying at my house so he could a hold on himself enough to go home. His brothers didn't know about him changing and neither did his mother. Only his father, who was an elder knew and had covered for him for the last few weeks. I had already changed a month or two before and was quickly getting better at controlling myself.

Their eyes widened slightly when they took in the new Brady. He had grown about a foot since the last time they saw him and looked a lot older too. But the boys, as stupid as they were, kept on coming. "Brady where have you been. You missed your weekly beatings." The laughed and Tyler punch Ron in the arm.

Brady laughed with his evil smile on his face. "You guys won't be able to beat me up anymore."

"Oh yeah! What's stopping us?" Ron said as he stuck his nose in the air and crossed his arms over his chest. I laughed and rolled my eyes. I was fourteen and was about to mess with a bunch of seventeen and eighteen year olds. You could saw I was excited. Tyler was eyeing me. He was probably thinking that he could have me to himself while his brother had Brady. I was good with that.

Brady shrugged. "Me."

"We'll see about that." He said as the boys started running toward us, one for each. They were going to tackle us but we dodged at the very last second. They went flying past us. We turned around to fast them, acting like nothing happened.

"How…?" Ron said before they tried again and the same thing happened. Ron was furious now while Tyler was looking bewildered. "Now that's enough of that." He said and raised his sleeves to his elbows. They came toward us, ready to start punching. I didn't know what Ron was trying to do with Brady because I was busy with Tyler. He tried to punch me in the face and it was funny how he had to jump to actually reach. I caught his fist just before he reached me and twisted it until he had to turn. I leaned down and whispered in his ear. "We're stronger than you are now Tyler. Your usual stuff isn't going to cut it anymore." I laughed and stood back up before spinning him around again and throwing him over my shoulder. He let out a stream of swears when he realized what had happened. I held onto his legs while he tried to kick. It was just too easy. He was punching me on the back but I would have never known that they were punches if it wasn't for the words coming out of his mouth. I laughed at his surprise and started spinning. I was spinning pretty fast and laughed even harder when he yelled and clung onto my back he wouldn't fall off my shoulder. Well! It was a pretty big fall. "You want down?" I yelled, still laughing.

"Yes." He yelled back. He sounded kind of sick so I put him down immediately. He fell to the ground with a thump and looked at me. He tried to stand but he was still too dizzy and fell back down again. I laughed so hard that I actually had to lean over and clutch at my stomach. "What is wrong with you? How did you do that?" I just smiled and shook my head before looking over at Brady and Ron. The scene wiped the smile off my face. Brady was holding Ron in the air by his shirt and was shaking violently.

"Brady calm down." I warned but it was too late. He was too deep to stop now. I was in motion as soon as I thought the words. I ran up to them and ripped Ron from Brady's grip and threw him behind me. I know I threw him too hard but it would have been worst if he stayed close to Brady. I heard him fall to the ground with a grunt of pain a good five meters away. I grabbed onto Brady's wrists. "Brady breath. Calm down." I yelled. I wasn't afraid of being to close when he phased. I would be healed in a few days, worst case scenario.

He tried but failed. I took a step back as the shacking got worst. Soon a grey and brown wolf was standing in the place where Brady was moments before with ripped pieces of clothing falling around it. I ignored the gasps behind me and put myself in front of it. The wolf was growling furiously and to move around me but I blocked its path. "Brady thinks about what you're doing." I yelled over the wolf's growls but it did listen to me. Brady spun around and ran for Ron but I was ready for anything and tackled him to the ground. "Run you idiot. Run." I yelled at him. He must have hurt himself when I threw him because he couldn't go very fast and he was limping. I swore when Brady tried to get me off his back. "Brady, don't lose. Take control. Think about what you're doing." I yelled. Finally he listened and fell to the ground, shaking his head. I got off his back slowly, making sure he was in control. I turned back to the boys to see Tyler supporting Ron. He had his right foot off the ground. "Sorry, I didn't mean to throw you so hard but you were too close." He just looked from me to Brady and back again with his mouth hanging open. I rolled my eyes at him and dropped to my knees beside Brady. "Phase back Brady. Calm down." I said before turning to Tyler. "Tyler put Ron down and go get some cloths for Brady." I said firmly.

"You go get them." He said trying to maintain some of his dignity.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "I know how to control myself but I can slip sometimes too." He gulped and nodded before doing what he was told. I turned back to Brady and watched as he phased back to his human form.

"I'm sorry. I lost control. I let myself get too mad and couldn't stop myself. I promised myself I wouldn't get mad no matter what he said but I did. I was being stupid and I could have killed him. I could have killed him so easily. My own brother." He was laid out on the ground face down.

"I know but you didn't. Stop beating yourself up. We all went through that."

"Yeah but look at him. He probably broke his foot." He said and looked up enough to look at his brother than at me.

"Not that was my fault. I threw him to hard." That was when Tyler came out of the house with a change of clothes. He quickly past them to me before retreating back to where Ron was sitting on the ground. "Put your clothes on. I'll check if his foot is really broken. I laid the clothes on the ground in front of him before walking up to where the two boys were sitting. I knelt down in front of them. "Hold still." I said and was about to check his foot when he took out a pocket knife and pointed it at me.

"Don't touch me." He said with panic in his voice. I rolled my eye.

"Oh grow up. I might have just saved you life remember." I said and reached out again but didn't far because he shoved the knife into my arm. It hurt but I did let him see that. Blood was pulling out. I pull the knife out of my arm and it started to slow almost immediately. I laughed at their faces as they watched the wound close. "Nice try but one little knife isn't going to do much damage. Now are you going to let me check your foot or what? I'm not contagious." I waited and after a moment he nodded. I reached and touched his foot slowly and rolled my eyes again when he flinches at my touch. I took a moment to feel the bone under his skin. "It's not broken just sprained pretty bad. Sorry I shouldn't thrown you so hard."

"What…what are you guys?" he stuttered when I was done.

"Werewolves. La Push's very own personal protectors and no we don't change every full moon or can be killed with silver bullets." I heard Brady walk up from behind us and laugh with me.

"You guys weren't supposed to know. I'm sorry I lost control. I haven't one as long as Seth." He said sadly from beside. I put a hand on his shoulder when he looked down at his feet.

"I always knew he was adopted." Tyler muttered, not knowing that we could hear him. Even Brady laughed with me at that one.

Tyler looked up at us startled. "What?"

"Oh! He's not adopted. You two are just too old to phase. One or two years younger you would be turning into a giant dog every night like the rest of us."

"Rest. Who are the others?" Ron asked from the ground.

"You knew Sam Uley's group?" He nodded. "That's us."

"From what?" Tyler asked suddenly.

"What?" Brady asked.

"You said that you were La Push's own personal protectors. What are you protecting us from?" His face had gone pale. He was probably thinking that werewolves exist than what else did?

I need Brady was smiling just as much as I was. "You guys will love this." I said and let Brady finish.

"Vampires."

Flashback ended


That was an interesting day. I still laugh at the memory. After that Ron and Tyler avoided us for quite a few months. Every time we came into the house they would leave or escape into their rooms and lock the doors. You think that they would realize that a locked door wouldn't be much of a obstacle for us but they continued for a long while. Once they realized that we weren't a danger to them as long as they didn't get us mad than they started to get more comfortable around us. At about the year point they started working out. They always try to hurt one of us. Thinking up new ways all the time but never succeeding. However not only today did they ever actually us a weapon full on.

"Aaahhh!" Ron yelled and jumped onto my back. He had taken the advantage of me being distracted but he didn't have time to do anything before instinct kicked in. I didn't mean to but it was reflex reaction for me. I pulled him of my back roughly and he fell to the ground in front of me.

"Shit. Sorry." I said and went to help him up. "You should never jump on any of our backs without warning. You're lucky I didn't phase on you."

He grunted and stretched out his back. "Why." He asked and stretched to the sides.

"We're built to fight and our back is the most unprotected place so if you jump on me unexpected than instinct comes in and I have to get you off. It's had to fight instinct." He nodded and flinched every so often as he stretched. "So I didn't mean to."

"Yeah well I'm done. I'll be in my room." He said and headed back to the house.

"I'm done too." I heard Tyler say from behind me. I turned and found him on the ground, breathing heavily.

I laughed at him when he stared at Brady as he ran backwards around him. "Oh! Come on. Is that it?" He said smugly.

"Hey Brady!" I called.

He stopped running to look at. "Yeah!"

"Leave him. I have a bet for you. You up for it?"

"Yeah of course."

I smiled and started taking my shirt off. "First on to Sam's wins. Loser has to give up twenty and I'm hungry so I'm sure Emily has something made. Sam's park will be back from patrols soon."

"You're on." He laughed and started taking his clothes off too. We went down to our underwear for Tyler's sake and phased. I heard and gasp from Tyler's direction and let out a wolfy laugh. I couldn't help myself. I walked over to where stood. He had jumped up in alarm when we phase.

'I'll distract him. You go around him and surprise him from behind.' I thought and started walking around Tyler and stopped when I reached his front again. I poked him in the shoulder with my noise while Brady came behind him. I stepped back so I could watch his face when Brady scared him. He was watching me carefully ready for me to do something completely unaware that Brady was right behind him. 'Now.' I thought and Brady let out fierce growl that could have been heard from inside the house. Tyler yelled and jumped, I swear two feet into the air. We laughed so hard that both me and Brady rolled onto our backs barking with laughter. Tyler frowned and stumped all the way up to the house.

'Oh! Hell that was priceless.' Brady thought.

'Oh! Hell yes.' I thought and got up from the ground as Brady did the same. He walked up beside me. 'Ok. We better go before the others beat us to the food. Ready! Set! GO!' I thought and we were off. I ran as fast as I could. Digging my claws into the ground to push myself farther. In a matter of a few minutes we were on the other side of town and breaking through the trees. I saw that it was I who broke through first and let out a small howl of victory. 'I win.' I declare even though Brady already knew.

'Yeah! Yeah! I'll pay you at school tomorrow.' He thought grumpily before phasing back. I did the same and we pulled our cloths back on and ran up to the house. We were lucky and were the first ones there so we got first pick. Emily was a great cook and always had something good cooking in the oven. Even having two parks didn't stop her from loving us even if we were in the other park. She took care of us like we were her own children. Sometimes I wondered how she managed to feed all of us. With our appetites it was a mystery to me.


About two hours later I was on four paws again running towards Shay's house. I needed to check on her before I went home to face my mother. I needed to know she was ok before I could sleep. I realized this was becoming a habit. I've been there every night since that first day. I liked listening to her breathing as she slept. It calmed me down enough so that I could actually sleep at night without losing my sanity.

I lay down just before the trees ended and stared up at her window wishing I could see her. A few seconds later the back door opened and Lana stepped out. "Seth, can I talk to you?" She said softly, knowing I could hear her. I didn't know if it was a good idea but she seemed pretty calm so I stepped deeper into the trees to phase and pull on my shorts. I walked out of the trees and headed over to the porch. I stopped about five feet away and crossed my arms over my chest and waited for her to start. "I'm really sorry about the other day. I overreacted and attacked you. It's just that Shay is my little sister and I don't want to see her hurt. I've heard all the stories. I mean look at Emily. I just didn't want that to happen to Shay. I'm sorry."

I looked at her stunned. "Wait your apologizing?" She nodded. "Well that's a first." I said and ran my hand through my hair.

"What do you mean?"

I sighed. "Let's just say I haven't met a lot of vampires that had the mind to apologize." I've seen a lot of vampires in my day but the Cullens and the Denali's were the only ones who would apologize for anything and to see another vampire do it is a whole other thing.

She nodded and looked up at the sky. "I wish there were more vampires like us. It would make the world a better place for a lot of people."

"Yeah!" I whispered before laying down on the ground and closing my eyes. I hadn't slept in two days and it was getting to me. Now as I listened to Shay's light breathing, I felt completely at ease. Even a vampire so close. "So what's your story?"

"What?"

I opened my eyes and looked up her. She had taken a seat on the porch steps, her golden eyes watching me. "How did you become a vampire?" I said before closing my eyes again.

"Oh! Ah! I had moved back here after graduation because I missed it. I used to live about three miles down the road from here and I remembered a trail that I used to walk on when I was a kid and decided to try and find it. Of course I got lost and wandered too far in the forest. Dean was hunting at the time and I found him drinking from a bear. He was too distracted by the bear to realize that I was watching him. When he was done and saw me he just froze. He was done hunting so he didn't attack me. He explained everything and we spent two and a half years together before he changed me. I wanted him to because he was frozen at twenty and I was getting closer to twenty two every day. We've been together ever since."

I looked up at her in disbelief. "Wow."

"What?"

I shook my head. "I didn't think there was anybody else like Bella and Edward but apparently not."

"Bella and Edward?"

I nodded. "They're part of the Cullens. Bella was human when they fell in love, even had a baby together before he changed her. Actually I can't believe you haven't heard of them."

She nodded too. "I heard of the Cullens but Dean has always told me it was better if stayed clear of other vampires. Wait how did they have a baby together?" She asked confused.

"We don't know how Renesemee can exist. She's half vampire and half human. All I know is that being pregnant with a half vampire is really hard. Edward had to give her a emergency vampirism. She almost did survive. Then there is the whole two packs. Sam wanted to kill Renesemee because he didn't know what she would turn out to become and well he couldn't do that without killing Bella too. And well Jacob was in love with Bella at the time and since he was supposed to be the Alpha he broke off to protect Bella and me and Leah followed him. Then Renesemee was born and Jacob imprinted on her. A whole lot of drama that I'm glad is done."

We sat in silence for a while. I knew the longer I was out here to more trouble I would be in when I got home but at the moment I didn't care. It just felt so nice to lay here and listen to the breathing and heart beat of the girl I loved. My Shay. "I can't control her." Lana said suddenly.

I opened my eyes to look at her. "What?"

"When it has anything to do with you, I can't control her. Yesterday I tried to get her to come down from her room because she hadn't come down all day but it didn't work. Then when she finally did she was gone for hours and she came back she looked like she was about shit her pants. Did she tell you what happened?" I wasn't going to tell her that. If Shay didn't tell her than she wouldn't want me to.

So I just shook my head."It doesn't matter, I took care of it."

"Why can't you tell me?"

I looked up and Shay's window before answering. "Because Shay wouldn't want me to and besides what does it matter to you?" I said and looked back to her.

She rolled her eyes at me. "I think we have established that I am very protective of my sister."

"That's not going to make me tell." I said looking back at Shay's window.

"Look I just want to know. I'm not going to act on it. She won't even realize I know. I mean she can't know because she would ask too many questions. I just want to know." The sincerity of her words surprised me.

"Fine. She went for a walk in the woods and was almost attack by a bear."

She spoke before I could continue, cutting me off. "Almost attacked by a bear?" She yelled but instantly covering her mouth and looking up at Shay's window. After a moment of silence to make sure Shay didn't hear her, Lana uncovered her mouth. "What happened?"

"I was already out there doing patrols with the others and I felt that she was in danger so ran off and got there just before the bear got to her. I didn't tell her anything, just got rid of the bear and took off again."

"When are you going to tell her?"

I shrugged. "When I think the time is right."

She snorted. "Like there would ever be a perfect moment."

I sighed. She was right. There would never be a perfect moment but now was still not the time. "I guess I knew that but I'm going to wait. She deserves some normal."

She sighed. "You really do care about her don't you?"

"Of course I do." I said and looked back up to her window.

"Why her?" She asked suddenly, almost like she had been trying to hold it in.

"What do you mean?" I looked at her surprised at the sudden outburst.

"I mean why did you pick her for your imprint. They is millions of other girls in the world so why her?"

I shrugged. "I don't pick. It just happens but to me she is the most perfect person in the world and I could never think being with anyone else. It wouldn't be right."

She nodded. "It don't like it but I'm willing to except it. I'm her only family that she has left and she deserves the best after everything that she has went through so I'm not going to interfere."

"Thanks." I said and took one last look at her window before heaving myself off the ground and heading for the trees.

"Where are you going?" She asked behind me.

"I have go home eventually." I called over my shoulder before I hit the trees.
