Previously: "I, um sorry, I don't know why I did that, come on we'd better get that project finished before we run out of time."

"Don't ever apologise Grace that was amazing." His voice was low and rough. He lowered his gaze.

"Seriously?" I don't know where this confidence came from.

"Umm, yes Grace, I um, really like you" He whispered the last part but to me they were loud and clear.

Chapter 7

"Why?" I couldn't help it, I needed to know.

"Grace, how could I not like you're amazing, beautiful, caring, and unique and you always surprise me."

I was speechless.

"I like you to" I mumbled my reply and looked up to see Seth with a huge smile plastered across his face.

"Well be better go and finish this project" I grabbed his warm hand and pulled him along to my room. We sat down on the edge of my bed and arranged all out books across it, prepared to work.

"So, we're aloud to do our project on a Quileute Legend. Do you know any? "His eyes were glued to my face.

"Um, no sorry" I gave small smile in response, I should have known more about the area's history and legends when I moved here.

"That's ok I know nearly all of them off by heart. Do you want me to tell you a few?"

"Sure" I didn't sound to enthusiastic.

"Don't worry they're not all boring, some are really exciting. Do you mind if we do the project on my favourite one?"

"No that's fine, whatever one you want"

"Ok, it's about the Quileute's; how we are descended from spirit warriors, who can shape shift into wolves".

"Wow really, why were they warriors? What did they do?"

"We… I mean they existed only to protect the tribe and those closest to us, them." Seth then looked up to me. I saw something in his eyes, doubt or longing but he soon looked way before I could be sure.

"Who did the tribe need protecting from?"

"The Cold Ones"

"The Cold Ones? What are they?"

"The umm blood drinkers, to you they would probably be called `Vampires'"

"Wow seriously, that is so cool, so these `Spirit Warriors' who were wolves would protect the tribe from these Vampires. That's a really good tribal story we never had any good stories at home." Seth didn't say anything else he seemed to be thinking really hard about something. "So who were the warriors `closest ones'?"

"Wwwhat?" Seth slipped out of his trace-like state.

"Well you said the Wolves were there to protect the tribe and the ones closest to them, who where they?"

"Umm well the wolves could change back into men- kinda like werewolves only they were really people who changed shape and back again- there is a magic that helped the wolves be even stronger. It was their other half"

"Other half? You mean like they weren't whole?"

"No, no, like a soul mate but even stronger, it's even stronger –it's called an `imprint' it's when you see them, there is nothing else holding onto life, to earth only her. She is all you live for and what you are there for, to love and protect her forever." A single shiver ran up my spine, I watched as Seth explained the story as if it happened only yesterday.

"Oh my…I, that's amazing. You say it like it still exists I thought it was just a story?"

"Oh yer, it is, it's just I've heard it so many times, it's as if I know what it feels like."

"Well you are a great story teller". I hadn't realized how close we were now sitting, almost touching. I leaned in even closer

"GRACE, DINNERS READY, COME DOWN." Dad shouted, timing just great dad, way to ruin the moment. I pulled back and stood up.

"Ok, just coming" I called back. "So we should do this again to write it up and get ready for the presentation part of the project."

"Sure, I would love to maybe we could do it after I've shown you round La Push and Forks tomorrow?"

"That would be great." I started walking down the stairs with Seth following.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow" Seth started towards the door.

"Seth wait why don't you stay for dinner?" Rebecca came round the corner. "Well since you've been so lovely looking after Grace and making her feel so welcome it's the least we can do" I couldn't believe me ears. I glanced at Seth, please say yes please say yes I chanted over and over in my head.

"Umm, if your sure"

We all sat down at the table eating a burnt pie since dad was left to look after it but at least it was edible. After dinner I washed the dishes, whilst Seth helped dry.

Then after Seth had thanked Dad and Rebecca for letting him stay and have dinner I showed him to the door.

He turned towards me just as he stepped over through the doorway

"Well I, er, thank you for coming and helping and everything… "

"Don't worry I loved it, I had a great time."

"Really?" He nodded.

"Well uh, bye I'll see you tomorrow" He turned a walked down the steps towards his car.

"Seth, wait" He turned immediately.

"Yer?" Did he look hopeful? I couldn't tell because I was already walking down the steps

"I er just…" I kissed him hard on his lips before he could move. The jolt of energy flowed around my body it was amazing, I never felt this was unless I was next to Seth, he made me come alive. Before he said anything I ran back up to the house and closed the door, then headed strait to my room.
