{Seth's POV}

The tracks I made in the dirt deepened as I paced back and forth in the clearing in the forest. Alice had told me to go and get some air and would tell me when I could see Jane. I was restless, I wanted to see her again, talk to her again. I remembered that look in her eye when I saw those burns on her arms. She looked almost...helpless. But I sure wasn't going to say that to her after what I knew she could do.

I shook my head angrily.

No. I won't judge her before I get to know what she's really like. No one could actually enjoy causing pain to others...could they?

My thoughts were interrupted by the tear of a bag. I looked up to see someone staring at me, ripping open a bag of...m&m's?

Embry Call grinned as he trotted over to me, tiny pieces of m&m shells around his lips. I couldn't resist a smile as he came over. I remembered he wasn't at the house when I found Jane with the other wolves. But you know Embry, he could be unpredictable at times. I'm sure he found out from Quil or Jared by now though.

"So, you waiting for your girlfriend to come out?" Embry said, popping another m&m in his mouth. Yep, I was right.

I stopped my pacing. "She isn't my girlfriend."

"But you imprinted on her." He frowned

"Yes."

"...she's not your girlfriend?"

I nodded.

"Wow..." The grin returned. "Trouble in lover's lane?" I sighed and ran the back of my hand across my forehead. He took that as a yes.

"Aw man, what'd you do?" Embry looked in the direction of the Cullen's house.

"I didn't do anything! Jane just...I don't know. She must feel uncomfortable around me." I sagged my shoulders in defeat.

"Jane? So that's her name. Man, Seth, I can't believe you imprinted on a bloodsucker. Not that I have a problem with those Cullens..but an evil bloodsucker?"

I glared at him for a moment. Sure she's from the Volturi but she can't be actually evil. No one is, or born evil. That I am sure of. "She's...Jane isn't evil." Those words were almost bitter on my tongue.

Embry seemed uncertain about that. "I'm sure she isn't. Yeah having the power to make people feel unimaginable pain with your mind sure isn't evil." He shook his head slowly. "Sorry, dude but I'm not convinced." Embry shrugged and without giving me a chance to respond, he dove off into the woods.

I stared at his retreating silhouette. A thought occured to me just then.

He didn't offer me any m&m's.

The run back to the house was thankfully quick. I had passed Rosalie, Esme, and Emmett on the way, who were probably hunting. The door was open so I ran right in. Edward looked up from a book. I saw Alice and Bella talking in the kitchen and Jasper was somewhere around here.

"Hey Seth." Edward greeted.

I nodded. "Hi Edward." I looked around the living room. Edward closed his book and set it on the nearby coffee table.

"Your looking to see if Jane has come out yet haven't you?" A smile formed on his lips. I stuck my tongue out at him and walked over to the door to Carlisle's office. "Uhm.." I looked over to where Edward was starting to speak. "You might not want to go in there, Carlisle woudn't appreciate you barging in like a rabid bear."

I glared good-naturedly at him. "I would not...barge in there like a bear." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes and called to Carlisle. "Hey Dr Cullen! You almost done?" I heard Edward sigh.

"Almost! You can come in, in a moment." He called back.

I waited. Five seconds. Which were a moment for me. I took a step back and ran at the door. It suddenly opened and I ran right into someone. It took me a moment to process that I was right on top of Jane, who was staring up at me with a surprised expression.

Carlisle lifted me off her and I, then, felt very embarrased. "Nice one, Seth." Edward said, getting off the couch. Jane immediately scrambled to her feet. I saw she was wearing her regular shirt and cloak.

I chuckled. "Sorry." Jane rolled her eyes and pushed past me. I looked after her. Edward tensed as she went past him. I ran after her as she exited through the door.

"Jane!" I caught up with her. She barely even looked at me. "Hey.." I walked in front of her. Jane stopped and shot me an annoyed expression.

"What do you want?" Her voice was hard.

"What did I do? Did I do something wrong?" I asked, worried.

"No." She put her hands on her hips and didn't meet my gaze. "I just want to go back home. Aro will be wondering where I am."

"B-But shouldn't you rest first? Your back had just healed."

"Look. Your nice and all but I need to get back." Jane made a move to get past me. But instead of letting her go back, I grabbed her wrist. Our eyes met for a brief second. My hand automatically let hers go. She was freezing cold. I had never noticed before.

"You avoided my question." I smiled. She sighed and I took that as a 'yes'. I walked in back of her and pushed her back towards the house. I heard her mumble something to herself.

The moment we even made it to the outside of the Cullen household, I felt Jane tense up. I stopped walking when I felt another's presence. Jane moved away from me and faced Kate's golden eyes.

Kate stood tall and regal over Jane. Her blond hair was draped over her shoulders and was glaring with a cold intensity at her. Jane returned the glare and for a second I was afraid she would use her power on the Denali vampire.

"Hello, shortie." Kate's smile was weirdly sweet despite the snarky remark.

Jane smiled back. "Hello, Katrina." I noticed Kate bite her lip as she said her real name. "How are you? It's been a long time, how's Sasha?" Kate tensed visibly. "Oh. Wait a minute."

Who was Sasha? Why did the name make Kate freeze up like that? These questions swarmed my mind, the same moment Kate tackled Jane to the ground. I jumped back as Kate and Jane growled at each other. I frantically looked around for any of the Cullens or possibly Tanya to make them stop. I certainly would get a broken rib if I even tried.

Jane jumped back as Kate tried to get a grip on her throat. I saw electric sparks fly from her hand, just barely missing Jane's side. Kate hissed and leaped again.

"Guys, stop it!" I willed myself to move in but my feet were frozen to the ground.

A high pitched scream came from Kate and she writhed on the ground, her screaming never once faltering. My eyes found Jane who were staring at Kate with a cold expression.

Jane was using her power.

"Jane, stop!" I cried, taking a step towards them. "Please stop!

I heard a door slam open and when Bella ran forward, Kate's screams were cut off. Tanya rushed to help her hurt covenmate. Edward bumped into me as he met up with his wife. Jane narrowed her eyes at Bella and looked like she was about to attack. Carlisle,Alice and Jasper entered the group. Jasper, seeing Jane, sprinted towards her and immediatly had her in a choke hold.

She struggled briefly but gave up. Jasper hissed and knocked her on her knees. I ran towards Kate. "Are you okay?" Kate's only response was an abrupt nod of her head, her eyes fixed on Jane.

"I'm going to let you go..." I heard Jasper whisper into Jane's ear. "...if you try anything, I WILL break your leg, understand?" Jane nodded slowly. Slowly because Jasper's arm was tightened up against her neck. Tanya helped Kate up.

Jasper then let Jane go. Jane stumbled forward and rub her neck, grunting. Edward growled at her. "I think it's time you go." He said through gritted teeth.

I felt her icy crimson glare on me. "I was planning on it." I looked up the second she ran into the woods. I felt a twinge of sadness pull at my chest. Bella and Tanya helped Kate towards the house. Alice whispered something to the others.

I turned as I saw Edward glance at me. I knew he read my thoughts. "I-I should leave..." Carlisle looked at me.

"Seth, it's not your fault."

I didn't say anything, but what I did was run to the path where I saw Jane disappear.
