Chapter 6
Seth POV
After Paul talked to Brady, everyone headed to Sam and Emily's to wait. Collin and I knew how our best-friend was. He'd kill us if we had stuck around and overwhelmed Angelica when she finished her journey test thing. It's been a couple of hours sense we left them when Emily came into the living room where everyone was sitting.
"Sam, do you think it'd be okay to take Brady some food? He hasn't eaten sense last night."
Sam stood from the recliner, going to his imprint, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her softly. "It should be safe but with him being Brady I think I should go with you." Sam turned to us all,"No funny business while we are gone."
Embry stands, pulling Amanda up,"If it's all the same to you guys I think we'll just head to Billy's and watch a movie. See you on patrol Seth."
I grunt, focused on my video game and beating Collin into the ground. It felt like only minutes til my imprint took my controller from me. I look over my shoulder at Camellia. She has my controller in one hand and she's glaring down at me. "What?"
"Don't you dare 'what' me Seth James Clearwater! Your not paying me any attention! I've been asking you if you wanted food for the last twenty minutes!"
"But, but baby I have to beat Collin! I just gotta!" I lay it on thick, so maybe she will take mercy on my and give me my controller back.
She rolls her big bright green eyes, flipping her earth brown hair over her shoulder. Grasping my controller in both hands she hits a few buttons, destroying Collin. We look at each other with shocked expressions before looking up at my imprint. Chasity is on the couch laying her head off. Tears are running down her face she's laughing so hard. She wipes her face pointing at us,"Yo...You should,,,Should see your..your faces!"
She clenches her stomach laughing, rolling up into a ball. Collin growls playfully at his imprint,"You find me losing funny little girl?"
She stops laughing and looks at him, smiling, a gleam in her eye,"Yup."
"Oh your gonna get it." He leaps at her. She squeals, jumping up and running out the door, Collin hot on her tail.
I look up at Camellia and shes smiling after her younger sister. "Cam? I'm sorry."
She looks at me and sighs,"It's fine. Come on lets go do something." She tosses the controller onto the recliner and turns for the door. Leaping up, I grab her around the waist and haul her on my lap as I flop down on the couch. She turns in my arms, wrapping her arms around my neck,"That wasn't very nice Mr. Clearwater."
Camellia POV
Seth grins up at me innocently. I nip him on the chest and push on his stomach, attempting to get up. He tightens his gorilla arms around me,"Na uh uh. I don't think so."
I huff at him,"But Seth I want up."
"Why?" He crooks an eyebrow at me.
"Because I want to go outside and do something. I've been inside all day! Lets go run in the woods! Please!" I give him the famous pitiful puppy face. His hard mask starts to crumple and he groans, kissing me softly,"I can't ever tell you no. Come on."
We get up and he grasp my hand, leading me onto the back porch on the top step. He turns to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me again. When his lips touch mine its like little electric currents. My body starts tingling and I add a bit more pressure, framing his face. He smiles into the kiss, pulling back to give me a single pop kiss before looking down at me. His face so soft and full of feeling I want to cry. I smile up at him. He sighs softly,"Stay put til I come back out for you."
I nod, reluctantly releasing him as he heads to the trees to phase. Its only moments before a sand colored wolf walks out and yips at me, laying on its belly. I smile, running down the steps and climbing onto his back. I nestle down into the soft fur and hang on. Wolf Seth turns his head to make sure Im on, then takes off in a fast trot through the woods. The wind blows in my face and I can smell the forest. I laugh at the joyous free feeling of running through the forest. Suddenly, Wolf Seth stops. His head is up, hiding me from whatever is in front if him.
"Do not fret young one. I'm here to see my daughter. Her test is simple compared to her sisters."
I peep around Seth's head to see a misty figure. "Hello dear. Your test is to simply practice. You have wonderful control and you are one with everyone and thing around you. However, be cautious. Not everything is what it seems. I love you dear. Be well." With that, the mist blew away, leaving Seth and I alone.
He does a swift U turn and heads back to Sam's. Once there, he leaves me long enough to phase and pull on his shorts. He wraps his arms around me."Lets go watch movies at my place. I think we both need to just lay around and relax."
I only nod my head.
Two hours later we are laying on Seth's bed watching Avatar. It's my favorite, but this time I wasn't really watching it. Laying face down on top of Seth, I take a deep breath. He mumbles in his sleep, tightening his hold around my waist just a bit. I smile, kissing his chin. I couldn't reach any other part of his face. Curling my hands up under my head I star blankly at the screen as big blue figures jump from tree to tree. Why had my journey been so much different than my sisters? Instead of spending a bit of time with me, my mother drops by like 'okay this is what you need to know' then poof, shes gone again. Amanda had days with her and Angelica has been with her for at least a day already. Did she not love me? Maybe shes disappointed in me. She didn't even sound happy when she did talk to me. I turned my face into Seth chest and let silent tears stream down my face.
Seth POV
I feel something softly touch the bottom of my chin. Grumbling something like 'not yet sleepy' came out of my mouth, before I tighten my hold on Cam. One I didn't want her to fall off the bed or be cold, but mostly I wanted to make sure she was still there. I hear her chuckle softly before laying her head back down. I put in her favorite movie as soon as we had entered my room. I personally am sick of the thing. Its all she wants to watch usually. Yeah the action scenes and graphics are awesome but when you watch it daily, you get tired of it. Cam moves her head again and soon cool drops of water are hitting my chest. I crack open my eye, looking down. My view is the dirt brown hair of my imprint. Her muscles are tensed and I hear her sniffle. I sit up, holding her to me."Baby whats wrong?"
She shakes her head at me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders, the tears now falling onto the place where my shoulder and neck met.(Sorry forgot the name.) I push my face into her hair, taking a calming breath. It kills me to see Cam cry. Shes so calm and accepting of everything and everyone. She even accepts vampires, saying even they had a purpose.
"Camellia, honey, I can't help unless I know why your crying."
She mumbles into my neck. "Try again. I can't hear through my neck."
She shifts a little more, dropping her arms to go around my waist and laying her head on my shoulder. "I said why can't my mother love me."
I frown, "She does love you."
She was shaking her head before I even finished,"Then why am I treated so differently. She obviously doesn't or my test would be like my sisters. I'd be able to spend a little time with mom at least."
I sigh, revealed she's not hurt to bad, just confused a bit."Your mom said that you where in control of your powers better than your sisters. Your more in tune with them. Look at Amanda, her hands spark or actually catch fire over the smallest things. Angelica was so emotionally unstable because of the problems with her and Brady. Chasity hasn't gone on her journey yet, but I bet her's will have to do with maturity. Collin still treats her like a princess exactly like when she was a little kid. So she still acts like a little kid. If she doesn't do a lot of growing up before this battle she's going to get hurt. Not keeping your head in a battle against vampires will get you killed."
She had sat patiently, listening to everything I said. She always listens. She never interrupts for any reason except emergencies. Now shes processing everything. Putting it together in her head and trying to see if there is anything else she'd like to know or ask. Never does anyone leave Cam curious. If she wants to know more about something, she will ask you all her questions. The ones you don't know the answer too she finds the answer another way. However, if you just don't tell her, she will be persistent or just ask someone else that knows. She finally nods,"I understand. Thanks Seth."
I smile at her, kissing the trace of tears from her face softly, causing her to giggle. I hug her to me,"I love you Camellia Jean Smith"
"I love you Seth James Clearwater."
