Chapter 7

SPOV

After we had finished playing Monopoly Katherine decided that she was going to go to bed. Alice dragged her away upstairs to get her in some pyjamas. In this time we also decided that we were going to leave after everyone had said goodnight to Katherine.

I heard Alice come back and a few minutes later I heard Katherine coming back down as well. I stopped talking to Jake and turned around.

I almost fainted. She looked breath-taking, she looked like an angel. Alice had put her in a red silk camisole top with white lace and matching shorts, they were so short that they barely covered anything. I was completely oblivious to anyone but her right then, she looked so beautiful that I couldn't imagine ever being anywhere else but right there.

She noticed everyone staring at her, my heart had sped up so fast that I thought it would jump right out of my chest. She looked at me and Jake and had a sort of exasperated look on her face. She said "Careful you don't catch flies with your mouths open like that."

I couldn't think right now, she had utterly captured me. She had my heart and soul, she had all of me.

"Um.... Uh....." I stuttered out. What a great response. Now she'll think I'm an idiot.

"Uh.... Um....." Jake echoed after me, he wasn't much better, and he was already imprinted on Nessie. This was a hundred times worse for me. I realised that she was probably looking for a more coherent answer than the one I had just given her.

"Sorry" I blurted out at the same time as Jake. Now I sound like even more of an idiot.

"So you should be, it's rude to stare." she replied before bursting out into a fit of giggles. That only made it even worse, I had fallen for her hook, line and sinker. All the other females in the room started laughing at us too, we certainly weren't setting a good example for guys. I suddenly felt extremely stupid, but when I looked back to Katherine I knew I was completely justified.

She said her goodbyes to Bella, Edward and Nessie who were all leaving to go back to their cottage. Then she turned back to us and I was still only just beginning to recover, as was Jake. I couldn't get over how fantastic she looked.

"I guess I'll see you both tomorrow. I don't know how long it will take for Alice to get me some clothes though. I have a feeling I won't be back for a while. I had a lot of fun today. I'm glad I met you both." she said.

I was ecstatic that she felt that way. Things were already going well between us.

"Yeah, it was good to meet you too. I'll see you tomorrow. I have a feeling you won't be up for much after Alice's torture." Jacob smiled and walked towards Nessie to say goodbye.

This was it. I had to talk to her about telling the pack. She deserved to know and had the right to object to us telling them anything.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked. I just prayed that she would agree. She nodded and we walked out to the porch for the second time today to talk to each other.

I didn't have a clue how to start. I was so nervous, I hoped she wouldn't get mad at me.

"Do you remember how I told you that there was more wolves and there was a treaty? Well, they already know about you because you ran into them, and because you are staying here they need to know about you. They also need to know about your powers and your past. Is there anything that you don't want them to know. Or are you okay with them knowing everything?" I rushed out. I hoped she actually understood what I said I spoke so fast.

I could see that she was thinking about how to answer me. Finally she answered .

"It's okay. I guess they need to know everything about it, you can tell them everything. But can I just ask one thing?"

I was not expecting her to say anything like that. I was preparing myself to get shouted at, or worse for her to tell me that she never wanted to see me again or something equally as heartbreaking. If she ever rejected me I knew that I would be broken, and only she would be able to fix me.

"Anything." I quickly answered.

"If I ever meet them can you ask them not to mention anything about my past? I don't want any more pity and I don't want to be reminded about it any more. I don't mind questions about my powers, but not about my past." she answered.

I was even more shocked at that. I could tell my emotions had spread to my face by now. I could see her reasoning though. She was only just beginning to properly grieve for her parents, she didn't need reminding of what she had done.

"Sure, I think they'll agree to that. But I want you to know, I understand that you are going through a lot right now. But you will not be alone, okay? You'll never be alone again." I replied. She needed to know how I felt, she needed to know that I would always be there for her.

It was her turn to look shocked at that and before I could comprehend what she was doing she had reached up to me and kissed me on the cheek. Before I could stop myself I turned bright red. Then she threw her arms around me and hugged me again. Now I was truly happy. Life couldn't possibly get any better than this, having her in my arms. I didn't ever want to let her go. I leaned down and put my head in her hair. She smelled amazing, not too much like a vampire at all. She smelled like vanilla and mangoes and coconut. It was tropical, but very calming at the same time. It was like my own personal heaven.

I knew it would be painful for me to leave her, I had seen it in everyone else's heads what it did to them to leave their imprint. But at least she would be safe here and I knew I would be seeing her tomorrow.

Just then Edward, Bella and Nessie came out. Katherine finished hugging me and we both reluctantly let go of each other. I had no doubt that they had all heard what we had been discussing. Nothing was private in this house. Edward smiled when I thought about that. All Jake did when he saw us hugging was raise his eyebrow and then he ran off into the darkness.

She gave me one more quick hug before I too ran off. I could feel it in my head, the pain at leaving her behind. It would only get worse until I could see her again, but that was only tomorrow. I knew it would feel like forever. I turned my head around to see her one last time. I saw her shiver and then walk back inside. I wanted to go to her and warm her up, but the pack needed to know about her.

We passed the enormous snowman that was still there and when we were out of sight of the house Jake and I stripped and phased.

So, you two have been pretty cosy today. Haven't you?

And? Do you have a point?

I'm just saying. You only met each other today, you have to remember that she's only just coming to terms with what happened to her family. You shouldn't take advantage of her. She needs taken care of right now.

You think I don't know that? You're making me out to be some sort of jerk. You know I only want what's best for her. Besides I wasn't the only one who couldn't speak when she came down in those pyjamas. You were almost as bad as me, what gives? She's my imprint.

I know, I'm sorry kid. But I do have to tell you, you are extremely lucky. You should know that. God, she's as hot as Blondie and that's saying something.

I know. I swear, I'm so happy right now I think I could fly.

Ha! I'd like to see you try. But I know how you feel. You did look cosy outside tonight. He replayed the images of Katherine tackling me in the snow today and then me tackling her.

And in the snow. Like I said, you're lucky. Did you see the way she did that flip? Now that was something. You should have seen the look on your face. It was priceless. But I don't think anything could beat our faces when she down in those pyjamas. You should really thank Alice for that. She probably did it for your benefit.

I know. I'll thank her tomorrow. I'm not sure I can wait that long to see her you know.

Well, you're going to have to. I heard what you said to her outside tonight and you obviously know that we have to tell the others. I'm going to hold our pack meeting tonight. Then we'll meet with Sam's and the council tomorrow.

I know. I'm just glad we don't have to withhold anything from the rest of them though. Leah's going to freak though, she's already mad about me imprinting on Katherine to begin with. She's not going to be happy when she hears about Katherine's past.

Wait she already knows about Katherine?

Yeah, unfortunately. She found out because when I called Sam to explain this morning he as over at mine and she was there. She heard what I said when I was explaining. Boy was she mad. Aaaw man! I just remembered, I hung up on her. She's going to be doubly pissed.

Good luck with that. At least that's one down. I'll call the rest of them while you go on to the usual clearing. I'll try not to tell them anything. I think you should explain it all to them.

Okay. See you in a few.

At that point I carried on running towards the clearing in the forest that we usually use for meetings. I tried to gather my thoughts about what I wanted to say before anyone else phased. I saw Jake going to the back of my house and howling. Then he ran to the back of Embry's house. He waited to see who would come out of the house, he knew Quil might be in there too.

That's when I heard Leah phase. Aw, shoot! Whatever she would have to say would not be good. I knew I was being cowardly, but I phased back until the others got there.

In a few minutes I heard someone come flying through the trees, great, Leah was coming. I would wait until everyone got here before I phased again.

She came flying through the trees and skidded to a halt a few feet from me and let out a low growl.

"I'm sorry Leah. I'm going to wait until the others get back here before I phase, I know you're just waiting to rip into me, but at least hear me out first. Please?" I was almost begging by that point. She just gave me another low growl, two of the things she hated most in the world; imprinting and vampires, and I had gone and imprinted on a vampire. No wonder she hated me right now.

Suddenly I heard three more people running towards us and I knew it was the other guys. Right as they were about to come into the clearing I phased again. As soon as I did I could hear Leah in my head screaming at me.

Why the hell did you have to go and do this? I can't believe you Seth, I am so disappointed in you!

What are you on about? I imprinted, you know that there is absolutely nothing I could do to prevent it. You can't exactly go back in time and prevent it.

Whoa! We don't even know what's going on here. All Jake told us is there was a pack meeting, you imprinted Seth? Congratulations! But I'm already afraid to ask, why is Leah so mad?

She's mad because I imprinted on a half-vampire.

You're right I'm mad. How could you do this to me Seth? You know how I feel, and on top of this you hung up on me!

She was snarling at me by the time she had finished.

Cool it Leah. You know that he can't control it, none of us can stop ourselves from imprinting. So cut the crap and let him explain. She's going to be living with the Cullens from now on and it's important for everyone to hear this. I'm calling a meeting with Sam's pack tomorrow to tell them. Much as I don't want to, they are now involved because she is staying.

Thanks man. I began replaying through what happened today. What happened when I turned up, how I felt when she left, what I was told by them about Katherine. At that point Jake interrupted me and went over what she told them in her own words. Then I picked up again at what happened when she returned, what we talked about, what she told us when we went back inside, what she showed us outside, what she did to Emmett. Even Leah laughed at what she did to him. Then I came to the bit she told us when we were all inside again.

Guys, before I go on, I need to know that you won't judge Katherine. Please, hear me out first?

They all agreed, even Leah, albeit grudgingly. Then I told them what happened on that day when her father visited her. They all gasped at what I showed them.

Typical leech. That's what they do, isn't it? Even the ones that are part human.

You will take that back, now. I won't have anyone speaking about her like that. I wouldn't let her get away with insulting Katherine, she didn't deserve it, it was an accident.

Leah. I'm not going to force you, you know that. But I strongly recommend apologising to your brother for that last statement. He may be your brother, but Katherine means everything to him, and she is part of the family now. Your family especially. You will need to accept her eventually.

I may need to, but it doesn't mean that I will.

I growled at this.

Okay, I promised I wouldn't judge prematurely. I take back that comment, but you need to know Seth that I don't know if I can ever be comfortable with her.

I understand. But like Jake said, she is part of the family now and forever. I love her, and nothing is going to come between us, including you.

Okay, calm it down a bit there Seth. Maybe you should tell them about the rest of the day?

Yeah, okay. I ran through the rest of it. Everyone was laughing when they saw what happened in the garden with all the snow. They were all definitely amused when they saw Katherine tackling me and me then tackling her. Then when they saw what she looked like when she was all cleaned up and in those clothes they had to voice their opinions.

Wow. You sure got lucky Seth. I'm imprinted, but even I can appreciate how hot she is.

Yeah. I'm not imprinted yet, so I can definitely appreciate this.

I tensed up a bit at this. She was mine, they had no right to appreciate her.

Okay, we're just pointing out how lucky you are. Do you even realise?

Yes. How could I not?

I went on to show them quickly what happened with Monopoly. I was dreading what they would say when they saw her in those pyjamas, but it had to be done. Embry even howled a bit when he saw her through my memories, which I'm sure made it even worse, seeing what I thought when I saw her.

Then before I had a chance to get worked up about Embry I moved on to the conversation I had with her outside. They listened and when I was done they spoke.

We won't say anything to her. It's not our right to say anything.

Yeah I won't either. But she said we could ask her about powers right? Do you think she could give us some snow over here. I've been dying to have a snowball fight with someone.

I'm sure Seth will be bringing her over sometime soon. Emily and Sam's wedding will be soon. Maybe you could ask if she wants to do the weather for their wedding? I have a feeling that it would be a great wedding gift. You know what the weather is like around here.

I should have thought of that. I'll speak to Katherine about it tomorrow and see what she thinks.

Oh and by the way. You are so never living it down.

Living what down?

The fact that Katherine is terrified of us, I mean come on. Only you, right?

He fell about laughing and I growled and was about to pounce, but surprisingly Leah did before I could get to him.

I may not like her because she is a leech, but unless you weren't paying attention she actually has reason to be terrified. So before you even think about terrorising her know that I will be watching.

We could almost see his fur grow pale in the moonlight.

Thanks Leah.

I'm still not accepting her. I have to meet her first. But from what you showed us she needs help right now, and she is now a part of the family. I might not like it, but I have to protect her from other, less civilized, members of the family. Now let's get you home kid. We still need to see mom. Not that she doesn't already know about you imprinting on a leech. I'm sure she's already told the council too. I think she'll have some questions though kiddo.

I forgot about mom. Is she gonna be mad?

I don't think so. But she will want to meet the girl you're planning forever with.

Even I'm not getting that far ahead of myself yet. But I'm thinking of bringing her to La Push the day after tomorrow. Alice is taking her shopping tomorrow.

I already feel sorry for her.

By this time we were already home and we both phased and went inside to be greeted by mom.

"Seth, is it true?" she immediately asked.

"Yeah, it's true mom. I imprinted on a half-vampire that was staying with the Cullens. Her name is Katherine. She is technically 15 years old, but she could pass for 17 or 18. She also has powers too. She is from England. Is there anything else you want to know?" I replied.

"Well you know I probably would of preferred it if you'd imprinted on a human girl but I know you can't control it. So, when can I meet her? I think the council would like to meet her too."

"I'm going to bring her to La Push the day after tomorrow. She'll be getting settled in with the Cullens tomorrow. Just so you know she doesn't actually drink blood, she used to, but she uh... had a bad experience."

Leah snorted at that one.

"You could call it that. So don't you want to know what the newest addition to the family can do?" Leah said.

I shot Leah a sharp look. "She can control the weather, its actually really cool. You should have seen what Katherine did today." I said to mom.

"Well, I've certainly never heard of that before. What did she do today?" she replied.

"Well, first she showed us the extent of her powers. She made it sunny, then she made it snow and then she made a thunderstorm appear."

Even mom looked impressed at that.

"I'm not saying I like her mom, I haven't even met her. But just seeing what she did to one of those leeches today made me warm up to her a bit." Leah said. I just looked at her. I hadn't picked that up when we were running.

"Wow, Leah. Thanks, I'm glad that you're even considering giving her a chance." I quickly said.

"Yeah, well. She's part of the family now, and besides, what she did to him was hilarious." she replied.

"So what did she do to impress you Leah?" mom asked her.

"Well, first she threw him around a bit with the wind. She almost dropped him from 30 feet in the air. You should have seen the look on his face. Then later on she almost struck him with lightening and then when she made it snow again she turned him into a giant snowvamp." By the time she was finished she was smiling and I could have sworn she was going to break out into a fit of giggles. Who was she and what had she done with my bitter sister? I love her, but she was really messed her up. The whole thing with Sam and Emily and the whole wolf thing had caused it, and it was vampires that caused us to turn into wolves. So why is she being so damn nice about Katherine? She was screaming at me earlier down the phone, so what was different now? Even with what she did to Emmett, I really doubt Leah would warm up to her that much.

"By the way mom, Jake is going to have a meeting with Sam's pack tomorrow to tell them all about Katherine. To save repeating the story maybe you and the rest of the council should come over and listen to what he says. I think it's all going to be said in human form anyway, so you should all understand it. Sam and Jake wouldn't get through the whole story without attacking each other in wolf form." I told her.

"Okay, sure. I'm guessing Jake will have told Billy by now that you imprinted, but I'll call Quil and we'll meet tomorrow. Just get Jake and Sam to work out when and where." she replied.

It was getting late and so I went to bed after mom finished questioning me about what happened today. I got changed and got into bed, I spent a while thinking about what happened today.

Today was the first real day of my life. I had fully come alive and I wasn't ever going to let Katherine go. She was my everything and I wouldn't be able to exist in a world where she wasn't. She was my reason for living now, I still had my other commitments, but she came above all else. I just hoped that the other pack would be as accepting when they heard about her. One way or another I didn't care, but she was their family now, they had to accept her. How could anyone not love her anyway?

I was looking forward to letting her meet my mom and the rest of the pack. Once they met her everything would fall into place. But how would Katherine handle being around the rest of the pack? She was terrified of wolves, no wonder, but she seemed relatively comfortable around me today. Was that just because of the imprint, or was it because she realised that we were a different type of wolf and we wouldn't hurt her? Either way, being surrounded by 17 wolves may affect her.

The last thing I saw before I drifted off was her beautiful face.

KPOV

Seth was right there in front of me, he was smiling and was walking towards me. Suddenly, he started shaking. I was frozen to the spot, what was wrong with him? Then, right before my eyes he burst out of his clothes and became a massive sandy wolf.

The wolf began stalking towards me and I was still rooted to the spot. It transformed into the wolf that had stalked me in Germany. It then leapt at me and just as it was about to crash into me, everything went black.

I couldn't see anything and I didn't have a clue where I was. Then I saw a pin prick of light that came closer and started growing and getting bigger. It flew towards me and completely engulfed me. When I opened my eyes again I was back in the kitchen in England.

I was replaying the scene that I had tried so hard to forget. I saw myself screaming at my father who was standing with completely black eyes. I saw myself getting madder and madder. I wanted to close my eyes, but I couldn't. I saw my mum get up and come towards me with her arm stretched out trying to get me to calm down.

Then her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she sank to the floor, seconds later my dad followed. I saw myself sink to my knees, weak with exhaustion. Then I saw myself run to my mum when I realised what had happened and sink to my knees once more beside her. I was in shock. I draped myself across her limp body and started sobbing. Then I checked her pulse and saw that she had none. I began sobbing again, I looked completely broken.

A few minutes later the other me looked up and my eyes seemed to go cold, I had smelt my father. I turned around and for a moment I looked confused, then I quickly looked back to my mum before I again looked to my father. I was by his side in a second and grabbed a hold of his neck and snapped it. His eyes opened briefly and I saw the colour of his eyes, this was where I should have stopped. But I didn't.

I put my mouth to his neck and started to drain his blood, I could see my eyes roll back into my head in ecstasy. I threw his body to the floor and looked up. I looked straight into my eyes, they were blood red.

I woke up screaming and covered in a cold sweat, I could feel the tears running down my cheeks. I couldn't get the image out of my head of my feral, bright red eyes and the wild expression on my face.

At that second Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper came bursting through the door. I hadn't realised it, but I was still screaming.

Esme was straight by my side and pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back trying to calm me down. I could feel myself getting calmer and I had soon calmed down enough that Esme let me go.

I realised that it was Jasper that had calmed me down. "Thank you Jasper. I needed that." He merely nodded in reply. Then it was Carlisle's turn to speak.

"What happened Katie? We were all downstairs when we heard you screaming." he said.

"I had a nightmare. I saw Seth, he turned into a wolf and then became the wolf from Germany and he lunged at me. Then I was back at my house in England and I saw everything that happened, only this time I didn't stop. I drank his blood, I was like a monster, the last thing I saw before I woke up was my blood red eyes." I said. I would have been crying again by then if it wasn't for Jasper. I smiled at him with appreciation.

"I'm sorry dear. But it was just a dream. If you want Jasper can put you back to sleep and can make sure that you don't have any more nightmares." Esme said, before pulling me into another hug.

"Thank you. I think that would probably be best, if Jasper could I would really appreciate it. I think I'm going to need all the sleep I can get, especially if what everyone says about Alice and shopping is true." I said, with a slight smile. Then the phone rang.

Alice ran out of the room and then a second later the phone rang. She came in two minutes later.

"That's Seth on the phone, he woke up with a strange feeling. It appears he felt Katie's distress when she was dreaming and when she woke up. He phoned to find out what happened. I told him, but he wants to know if he can speak to Katie to check that she really is fine. Do you want to Katie?" she asked.

"Yeah, I guess I should. I'll be back in a minute. Can you show me where the phone is Alice?" I said. I got out from under the covers and followed Alice out of the room and downstairs to the phone.

"Hello?" I said.

"Are you okay? I woke up with a strange feeling and I knew something was wrong. Alice said you had a nightmare." he said, sounding worried and concerned.

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry. Jasper calmed me down. He's going to help me sleep so that I'm rested for shopping tomorrow." I said, trying to calm him down a bit.

"Oh, I'm sorry that I got you up to talk to me. I guess I overreacted." he said, sounding very relieved.

"It's no problem. Besides the dream started out quite nicely, it was only later that it got worse." I said.

"What was the good bit?" he asked curiously.

"You were there." I admitted.

"Really?" he said, he sounded really surprised.

"Yes, really. Now goodnight Seth. I'll see you later tomorrow." I said, eager to get back to my couch.

"Sorry, goodnight Katherine." he said a little sheepishly.

"One more thing, after you left I told the others they were welcome to call me Katie, it was my mother's pet name for me. You're welcome to use it too, if you want to." I said, somewhat nervously.

"Well then, goodnight Katie." he said, this time he sounded really happy.

"Goodnight Seth." I said before hanging up.

I turned around to see Alice beaming at me like the Cheshire Cat. I just glared at her and then felt my cheeks flush. I stalked past her and went back up the stairs. When I went back into my bedroom it was only Jasper left in there.

"Are you ready?" he asked when I was getting settled in.

"I am now." I replied when I was all settled in.

"Here we go. I hope you have sweet dreams now." he said. I smiled and then felt waves of sleep flow over me. It felt like I was being caressed, within seconds I was asleep.

This time I only dreamed good things. I dreamt about Seth again, without the whole wolf thing, I saw memories of me and my mother having fun together, I also dreamt about what happened today. I saw me and my new family having fun together. But most of my dreams were about Seth, it was weird. I had known him for one day and already my dreams revolved around him.

It was like my mind knew how important he would be to me, but when I was awake I didn't know it yet. He was so quickly becoming everything to me. I didn't deserve it, any of it. But I had it, and I wasn't about to reject any of it. I was going to embrace it and welcome it with open arms. Anything was better than what I had come from, and this was so much better, I couldn't even describe how grateful I was that this opportunity had come this way. If I didn't know better I would say it was fate.
