She shook her head. "Shay, you found out because Seth loved you. You'll always have some one to look out for you. I don't. My friends all got mad at me when I told them that nothing happened after Seth and Chris scared them off. They could tell I was lying, they always know. Now they're all pissed at me and won't talk to me." She said, tears welled up in her eyes before falling over the edge.

"I pulled her into a hug. "Oh Hun, it's going to be alright." I reassured her and she cried into my shoulder.


Chapter 7

Shay's POV

Seth snuck into my room late that night. He tried to be subtle about climbing into bed with me but you couldn't have him nearby and be wrapped up in three blankets at the same time for long. I sighed, kicking off two out of the three before curling up happily into his protective warmth. He pulled me close as I took in his fresh, woodsy swell. My eyes closed, I pressed my cheek to his chest, listening to his heart beat. It felt like I had been frozen until now, my body finally relaxed, sinking into him until we were one.

He pressed his lips to my hair as he whispered. "I love you."

I smiled and soon I was once again sound asleep, completely at ease.


Next morning

I woke up to the sound of Lana pounding on my bed room door, yelling. "Are you two going to sleep all day? You two have school remember. Vacation doesn't start for another two weeks."

I groaned, rolling over so I was facing Seth. I opened one eye to see him moaned. "Go away Lana." He muttered, his eyes still closed.

I closed my eye and pulled myself closer to him. "I hope you two didn't forget my birthday. My party is tonight. You better not have forgotten." She called in mock horror.

"Your birthday is March 12th Lana. Go away." I murmured, annoyed and unwilling to move.

I heard her laugh from behind my door. "You're not gigging today kids. Your exams are next week."

"One day isn't going to kill us." I muttered.

"If you two fail and have to repeat the year, don't come crying to me."

I groaned, rolling onto my back and hitting Seth with the back of my hand. "Seth." I whined. "Go beat her up."

Seth grunted. "Too tired." He muttered, yawning.

"He's just afraid he'd lose." Lana laughed from the hall.

"Usually I'd say something like 'in your dreams' but I'm too tired to care." Seth mumbled.

"You just did." A low growl rumbled from deep inside Seth's chest. "Oh, I'm so scared." Lana laughed and I could imagine her rolling her eyes at us.

"Lana." I whined.

She sighed. "Fine but mom would have killed me if she knew I let you skip school."

"Is she gone?" I mumbled, not hearing Lana leave.

"Mmmhmm." Seth murmured.

I sighed, moving closer to him. He wrapped his strong arms around me, tracing circles on my back with his thumb. "Mmmh." I murmured content.

We lay there for a long time, falling in and out of consciousness. Until Seth's stomach started growling.

I laughed, poking him in the stomach. He smiled at me with my favourite goofy smile. I rolled my eyes and climbed out of bed, pulling the bird's nest that was my hair into a messy ponytail. "Come on. I'll feed you." I said and he jumped out of bed.

(Shiver - Shawn Desman)

He smiled at me gratefully, taking my hand; we walked downstairs to the kitchen. "Is Lana and Dean here?" I asked, sticking my head in the fridge.

"No, they left about an hour ago." He said, sitting down at the table.

"Good." I said, taking out a carton of eggs and two packages of bacon. From the corner of my eyes I could Seth's mouth fall open, drooling. "Close your mouth Seth." I laughed, putting toast in the toaster and turning the store on.

He laughed too and got up to wrap his arms around my waist from behind. "What's this about?" he asked, his chin on my shoulder.

I shrugged. "I missed you yesterday and I feel nice this morning." I said, kissing his cheek. "Now you get the bacon. I'll get the eggs." I said, handing him the packages of bacon.

He took it happily and we got to work. A half hour later there was a huge pile of food on the table and Seth was staring at it, his mouth open again, waiting for me to say he could start eating it. I was still preparing the last bit of bacon. I rolled my eyes and threw a piece of bacon at his head. He turned toward me as I smirked and raised a brow at him. "What?" He asked.

"I hope you realize that we cooked enough food for seven people."

He smiled and winked at me. "You know, I hadn't actually been full in over a year."

I laughed. "You know, I'm not even sure you can be full." I poked him in the stomach again. He laughed and shrugged. "You better eat every last bit of that. No one else around here is going to eat it." I said, pointing to the pile of food with the fork in my hand. "And pick that up." I said, pointing to the bacon on the floor and turning back to the stove.

"Yes, honey dearest." He said sarcastically, laughing under his breath.

I scoffed, turned the stove off, put down the fork, turned back to him and jumped on his back as he bent down to get the bacon. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. "Hey." He laughed, standing up straight and grabbing hold of my legs before I fell.

Since I didn't have to hold myself up, I put my hands over his eyes, laughing. "Don't let go of my legs or I'll fall." I warned. "And in case you don't realize it, it's a long fall." I chuckled, looking down, surprising myself to see how true my words were.

He laughed my favourite, light, happy laugh. "Evil." He said and I felt him laughing under me.

I looked into the mirror on the wall beside the kitchen table and smirked. I saw me on Seth's back, Seth holding me up by my legs as I held my hands over his eyes so he couldn't see. Then I saw Seth's nostrils flaring. It was the only thing that warned me of what he was about to do. I should have known he didn't actually have to see anything to know where he was going.

He sprang forward so fast and with so little warning that I nearly fell backwards. He ran through the back door, which I had opened a while ago because it was such a nice day, hurried of the deck and onto the grass. He spun us around so fast that I let go his head and wrapped my arms around his neck again, screaming.

He laughed and stopped spinning for a second to let me breath. Just as suddenly as before, he let go of my legs and before I could fall, reached over his head and pulled me over his shoulder. I screamed as the next second he had me by the ankles, dangling me over the grass. I laughed and screamed at the same time; thank god I was wearing a tight shirt this morning. "Had enough?" Seth asked, laughing so much that his face was turning red.

I nodded, gasping for air in between fits of laughter. "Yes, yes. Put me down." I screamed. He laid me down on the grass before collapsing beside me, his head right beside mine. We grinned at each other; his eyes never looked away from my face. We lay there a few seconds, breathing hard.

Then suddenly a loud grumble erupted from Seth's stomach, making me burst out laughing again. He only watched me, smiling, love in his eyes. "Beat you to the kitchen." I laughed, jumping up and running for the door. I didn't hear him come up behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and spun us around on the deck. He set me down, kissed my cheek and ran inside. "Cheater." I called after him and walked through the door to find him already shoving food in his mouth. I swear he doesn't even chew. He smiled at me.

I rolled my eyes but smiled too when I turned the other way. I put the last bit of food on a plate and set it on the table before sitting opposite him. I nibbled on some bacon as I watched him devour the bacon, toast and eggs. "So what do you want to do today?" He asked through mouth full's of food.

I shrugged. "I don't know. I kinda want to have a normal day today. No drama."

He laughed. "I know how you feel." He said. "We could go visit the Cullen's. I think Emmitt, Jasper, Rosalie, Esme, Edward and Carlisle are out hunting today, because of the nice weather but I'm sure the girls would like the company." He said, smiling at me.

(I need you now - Agnes)

I nodded. "Yeah, that would be fine." Then my smile faded. "What about Maddy?"

He frowned. "She's changed Shay. She hasn't slipped once yet. Edward would know right away and of course her eyes would change color if she drank human blood so you have nothing to worry about." He reassured me.

I bit my lip. "I know she's changed Seth."

He actually put his fork down. "Then what's wrong Shay?" He asked, concern filling his voice.

I tried to act like I wasn't actually freaking out inside but Seth knew me too well. He walked around the table and knelt down beside my chair, all the while I stared at my hands in my lap, fighting back tears. "Shay, tell me what's wrong." He whispered, his voice was gentle and was filled with love and caring. It was the same way my father used to talk to me when I was a child and hurt myself. I bit down hard on my lip to stop the tears.

I looked at him, stared right into his dark eyes, seeing the adoration and worry. "Shay?" He whispered, reaching up to stroke my cheek with his thumb.

"She killed my parents Seth. That's not something that's easily forgotten." I said quietly and he nodded in understanding.

Finally the tears rolled down my cheeks and he pulls me into his arms. Without saying a word, he pulls me into the living room where he sits us down on the couch with me in his lap. I curl up against his chest, letting the tears flow freely now. He holds me to him, his warmth comforting me. "I got the worst of her Seth. You say she changed but I still see her as the monster that killed my parents." I murmured.

I've never actually told Seth about how I felt about Maddy until now. I just kept my mouth shut and tried to avoid her whenever she was near. I knew how much he worried about me and I didn't want to add to it. He was very protective of me when it came to the subject of my parents. He did everything he could to not bring them up and I knew it. He rarely ever talked about he's mother and I knew it was because of me. However, I was glad he understood how I felt, since he lost his father. I'm sorry for him, don't get me wrong but he's helped me so much with the whole subject because of it.

He rubbed my back as I cried into his shoulder. "Why didn't you tell me this was bothering you?" He whispered.

I sniffed. "I didn't want you to worry about me. I have to learn to live life without dwelling over my parents." I hiccupped.

He shook his head, frowning. "Shay that is not the way to do it. You can't suppress your feelings about your parents. You have to talk to someone about it and I'll always be here for you."

"I just don't want to think about them all the time. It makes things harder."

"Shay, you don't want to forget your parents, like I don't want to forget my dad. I learnt to deal with my dad's death by talking to people about it. I guess I didn't have much of a choice because the guys kept getting into my head but it still helped me out a lot. I don't know what would have happened if they guys didn't help me out."

I sighed and relaxed into him. He hugged me closer. "Thank you Seth." I whispered.

"Anytime Shay." He whispered back.

"I just miss them so much." I sniffed.

"I miss my dad too but he wouldn't want me to dwell on him. He would want me to be happy and from what you've told me about your parents Shay. I'm sure they would want the same thing."

We ran to the Cullen's. I was glad because it really helped me relax. Seth held my hand as we walked into the Cullen household. I was still a little depressed but that doesn't last when you're bombarded by Nessie as soon as you walk through the door. She just as a thing for making people happy. She ran up to us and wrapped me in her warm embrace. I hugged her back with my free hand and smiled. "Hey Nessie." I laughed.

She pulled back and beamed up at me. "See what happens when I see you." She said matter-of-factly, putting her small hands on her waist. "You two clearly don't visit enough." She declared, then turned to Seth and hugged him too.

"Hey, Nessie. How's it going?" Seth grinned, bending down to hug her better. I saw Nessie's hand to the Seth's face, just for a second. Seth paused for a second before whispering. "I know." It was so obvious that he didn't mean for me to hear. I frowned but they ignored me.

Nessie simply smiled and took my hand. She pulled me into the kitchen with Seth close behind, holding my other hand. In the kitchen Bella, Alice and Maddy stood around with Charlie sitting at the island. They all looked up when we walked in and I stiffened when I saw Maddy. Maddy glanced at me through her dark hair and I saw her face fall when she saw me hesitate. I gulped and leaned against Seth for support. He let go of my hand so I he could put his hand on my shoulder and squeeze. "Hey Charlie! How are ya?" Seth smiled, leading me toward the island. He hit Charlie's shoulder with his free hand.

I saw Charlie flinch, just the slightest. "Hi Seth. I'm good, how about you?"

Seth smirked, also seeing the flinch. "I'm pretty good. I didn't think you'd be here. Shouldn't you be at work?"

Charlie shrugged. "I took the day off to come see Nessie and Bella." He said then he frowned and looked between Seth and I. "Speaking of, shouldn't you two be in school?"

Seth shrugged too. "We took the day off too."

"Don't you have exams next week?" Bella asked, a smile playing at her lips.

Seth grinned. "We'll be fine."

"You better be. I know how much you want to spend your first summer together doing the stuff you want to do and not in summer school." Someone said suddenly and I turned to see Jake in the door way. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I'm just going to go to the bathroom." I told Nessie. I was in her room and she was showing me her new cloths that Alice bought her. I walked to the bathroom quickly and hurried to finish up. I opened the door to leave the bathroom but jumped in surprise when I nearly walked into some one.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you." Maddy said hurriedly. I looked up at her she truly did look sorry.

I nodded, my head down. "It's okay." I muttered and started to move down the hall again.

"No wait." She said and I paused, glancing up at her beautiful face. All I could think was that she was the one that killed by parents and she could kill me in a slit second. "I want to ask you something." She said apologetically.

"What is it?" I asked, wishing, she's leave me alone.

She frowned. "Look, I'm so sorry about what I did to you. You have no idea how bad I feel. I need to know that you forgive me."

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Are you serious? You're asking me if I forgive you." She nodded. "Maddy. You killed my parents. That is not something that is easily forgiven. You haven't done anything to deserve my forgiveness." I snapped and she flinched, she actually flinched. I started to walk away but she caught my elbow in her cold grip.

"No please. I know I've been a total bitch but I feel horrible. I've changed show. It was hard but I did it because I knew it was the right thing to do. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I can't truly be happy until I know you can forgive me even though I hurt you." She begged.

I looked down at his grip on my elbow and she pulled her hand away immediately, muttering another apology. I looked back up at her. It took everything I had to keep a calm face. "Then I guess you'll be miserable forever then." I snapped and walked back into Nessie's bedroom, closing the door behind me.


(Undisclosed desires - muse)

A few days later

Shay's POV

I found myself in the woods, not remembering how I got there. I looked around, not seeing anything but tree after tree, having no idea what way I was supposed to go. My heart started pounding in my ears. I gulped, my eyes scanning the forest around me. I listened but didn't hear anything. I bit my lip, fighting tears.

I turned to maybe go back the way I hopefully came but jumped back in fright and surprise. The man that stood before me was so obviously a vampire. My breath caught in my throat as I looked him over, my eyes widening. His eyes were blood red, his skin was pale white and his lips held an evil grin. He looked lethal and ready to kill. His eyes looked over me.

He was tall and lean. He wore nothing but torn and muddy jeans that fell low on his hips. His hair was dark brown and shaggy, windblown as if he had just been running. His muscles showed under his unnaturally white skin. His hands in fists at his sides. "I don't know what he sees in you." He whispers, looking me over again.

Then suddenly, he appears right in front of me. "No matter." He mutters, grinning evilly, his eyes shimmered with revenge. "He will suffer as I have suffered." His voice low and menacing. I couldn't breathe as he reached and pressed his hand to my forehead, making everything go dark.


I gasped, sitting up in my bed. Tears started falling before I could stop them. I looked around, wishing with everything I had that Seth wasn't out patrolling that night.

Meanwhile

Seth's POV

I hated patrolling. I know I used to love it. I felt important. Like I was doing a really cool job like a superhero on TV. But I'm older now and I've imprinted. All I can think about as I patrolled was Shay. I wished I could be with her, talk to her, and see her smile. Don't get me wrong, I love to run, scenting the air around me but I can't think privately when I patrolled. There were always at least three other people listening in on my thoughts and since tonight neither of them were imprinted, it was especially annoying. Leah, Chris and Brady tried to ignore me and I them but it didn't work. It never does.

"Jesus, Seth." Leah swore. "Would you please think of something else." She snapped, shaking her head, as if to to try to shake the images from her head. "I could have gone my whole life without seeing my little brother do that." She groaned but I ignored her, digging my claws into the ground to propel myself faster, trying to let out some steam.

"For once, I'm in agreement with her. Could you at least try and think of something else, anything else." Brady groaned. Chris just stayed quiet, trying to hide more or less in the back ground. He didn't want to get on anyone's bad side. He was still a little depressed about everything that has happened in the last few weeks.

I grumbled, huffed and ran faster, imaging if I ran fast enough, I could finally get away from them, leave their thoughts far behind me. Leah snorted at my thoughts but returned to her own business, Brady doing the same, trying to put us far in the back of his mind. I was going to have to talk to Jake about my patrolling buddies. They didn't understand what it was like. At least with other imprintees, we could all going into our own world without bothering each other. I know Jake only put me with them because Brady is my best friend and Leah is my sister and the only one that can handle her the longest.

"I heard that." Leah growled but I only rolled my eyes.

She's definitely gotten better since the whole ordeal with Nessie happened a few years ago. She hasn't run off yet and nobody wants her to but she still has a temper and still hates being a wolf. But she tries. Whenever someone asks her why she still phases, she always says she wants to look out for me but we all know that's not entirely true. She knows as well as everyone that I can take care of myself. I'm not a kid any more.

(Generation - Simple plan)

Suddenly, out of nowhere the sickly sweet smell of vampires hit me. I was going so fast that it took me a few seconds to stop. I stuck my legs out in front of me, skidding past the scent. I spun at the same time as I tried to stop and ran back to the scent. I put my nose low to the ground. "Guy's. Got something." I called to them, getting their attention. Their minds turn toward me before they do. They started running in my direction.

Two, one male, one female. I thought, following the scent. "It's fresh." I said and Brady threw back his head and let out a long howl that could be heard from miles away, signalling to Jake that he was needed.

I started running again, following the trail. "Seth." Leah warned. "Wait for us. You know what happened last time you went after two leeches on your own." She growled, annoyed.

I rolled my eyes."Your maybe two miles away. You don't need to be right beside me." I grumbled.

"What is it?" Jake asked, phasing then.

"Seth's got something." Brady answered.

Jake looked through my mind and saw what I was following. He started running full spend after me.

We ran after the trail for a while. It ran all along the La Push border. Jake didn't like that and called Embry and Quil to come with us. It was like the vampires knew where it wasn't supposed to pass. We followed it and found that it went all the way around the rez before finally crossing the line. We were running through the trees, Jake in front, leading the group, Embry and Quil on either side of him with me right behind Quil and Leah and Brady beside me. We were running, everyone alert, noses to the ground, eyes darting around. Suddenly, from the corner of my eye I saw something move. "Jake." I said.

He turned his head toward it. "I know, I saw it too." He said and we spread out. We ran toward it and soon we came up behind two vampires. One, male, tall with dark brown shaggy hair with nothing but old jeans on and the other, female, long black hair that fell past her hips in thick waves. She was black but under, you could still see the ghostly paleness that only vampires had. She wore only tight shorts and a sports bra.

We surrounded them and they didn't do anything. They only smirked, looked at each other and then back at us, like this was only a game and they weren't about to get torn apart. They obviously don't know us well enough. Jake stepped forward, growling, to see what they would do. They only laughed, glancing at each other again before jumping into the air. Through our minds we organized ourselves into two team. Jake, me and Chris in one group and Embry, Quil and Leah in the other. My group went for the girl while the other went for the guy. Jake and I snapped into action, jumping into the air after her but she took hold of a branch of a tree nearby and pulled herself out of the way before we could grab hold of her legs. She leaned over a branch just out of our reach, looking down at us with a mischievous grin, her hair tumbling around her in dark waves.

We surrounded the tree, growling. She only laughed again and in a flash, started moving from one tree to the other. We ran after her, Jake swearing. We followed her a few minutes until she got bored and dropped to the ground in front of Chris. She hissed as Jake yelled. "Take her Chris." He ordered but Chris didn't need to be told. He let out all his frustration into his hit. I snickered when the leech tried to jump out of his way but got hit squarely in her shoulder by Chris. The kid was good. She hissed as they tumbled to the ground. She kicked Chris out of her way. She sprain up and tried to run, her grin gone but I dug my teeth into her arm. She screeched, spinning around and hitting me in the face. I grunted but didn't let go. Jake came up behind her and grabbed her arm before she could hit me again.

We pulled, not hard enough to pull an arm off but hard enough to cause her pain. What happened next though was something that surprised everyone. She didn't struggle but opened her mouth and let out the most piercing scream I have ever heard. It was so high in pitch that it rang through my ears. I felt like it was rattling my brain. It was so loud, so painfully loud that before I even realized it, both me and Jake had let go and backed away. She continued to scream, getting louder. My ears were pressed against my head and my eyes were fighting to stay open. My legs wobbled and all three of us fell to our stomachs. Chris put his paws over his ears, screaming inside our heads. Jake swore and growled furiously. I whimpered but tried to stand up. I forced my eyes open to see her standing there, her back to me, her head back and screaming with no sign of ever stopping. It took everything I had to stand, luckily her screams kept her from hearing me advance. I took a wobbly step forward. All I could think of was that I had to make it stop. I had to make that horrible sound stop.

I struggled to continue but I came up behind her. She didn't see me and with everything ounce of strength I had, I wrapped my mussel around her neck and flung her to the ground. She stopped screaming but she hissed and hit me right in the nose. I roared, furious now and tossed her around like a rag doll, never letting go of her neck. I threw her against a tree and then to the ground again. Jake stood up and took her foot. I let go so he could fling her against a tree, causing it to crumble in on its self. I stepped out of the way so it wouldn't hit me as it fell. Chris and I jumped over it and ran after Jake. We watched her swing her leg up and hit Jake in the face hard enough to draw blood. Jake swore and dropped her. She jumped back to face us. I heard her neck crack as she straightened it. I raced forward but she jumped into the air at the last second. I spun and sprang at her. She snickered as she landed on the ground and danced just outside my reached. I roared and lunged and caught her shoulder. She spun and kicked my leg. My leg collapsed from the blow and heard a sickening crack. I fell to the ground. In my mind I saw Jake and Chris coming not far behind me.

The leech opened her mouth again, just like before. "Seth, stop her." Jake screamed. I sprang forward but collapsed again. My leg was broken. I cried out and fell before her. She let out another piercing scream. I roared, fighting to keep my eyes on her. My leg throbbed as I glanced down at it. I stretched it out, hoping to align the bones as almost instantly I felt the familiar warmth that told me it was healing.

My ears were pressed against my head again, trying to bloke out the horrible screech. I forced myself to my feet. I growled, my lips pulling away to reveal my teeth. I dug my claws into the dirt under paws. The two things that could tear into vampire flesh. She increased her pitch, making it harder but not stopping me. When I saw towering over her, I roared before I dug my teeth into her skin, put my claws in her leg and ripped her in half. She doesn't stop screeching so I swung at her face. I tore her to pieces and threw chunks everywhere.

I heard a roar and looked up to see the other leech looking straight at me. His red eyes crazed and full of rage. "You'll regret doing that." He yelled before taking off in the other direction just as the others got there. We ran after him but we didn't catch him. He was fast and knew we couldn't go out in the open. He was the second vampire that ever got away from us. But he wouldn't be for long. Just like the other one. If he ever came back he would be as dead as the other one.
