Sparkle, Fur & Blood: A Sarah Elizabeth Black Story
Chapter Eight
Seth's POV
Previously:
It took me 7 minutes to find Grandpa's tombstone.
Billy Black
"I'm still dancing"
Beloved Husband, Father,
Grandfather &
Great Grandfather
I smiled sadly. When I looked at the 3 tombstones next to Billy's, I threw my hand covering my mouth to hold back my vomit. The three next to him where Old Quil, Collin, and Sue. That when I knew Seth wouldn't take me back. I was there for him when his mom passed. I lay down on Billy's grave and cried again.
"I'm so so so sorry Seth. Please forgive me!" I cried.
Seth's POV
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest said.
God! Opps! Sorry! I can't believe Jerry made me escort Mandy at their wedding. Even though Alyssa said it's not like your dating or anything, it still felt wrong. Sarah should have been my escort. Mandy came out of the blue. She just showed up and said she knew what we were and that she was one ,too. Mandy's fur was white with brown roots. She was nice to everyone and tried to get me out of my funk but, it barely worked. Jerry and Soren thought I should move on to Mandy and that caused me to almost rip their throats out. The thought of it made me puke my guts out. I mean Mandy is pretty don't get me wrong. She has brown hair and eyes, kind of exotic looking, but she's not Sarah…
"I'm so so so sorry Seth. Please forgive me." The soft voice cried.
"HOLY SH-POOP!" I shouted over everyone's cheers for Alyssa and Jerry's wedding.
Everyone stop cheering and stared at me like I was fucking crazy. I still couldn't believe I heard My Sarah's voice. PJ and Becky walked up to me still holding his 4 year old son Andy in his arms. PJ imprint on her a month after their prom and after he found out he knock her up. They got married when they were done high school.
"Man, you okay?" He asked.
"He's okay everyone." Becky yelled so everyone can go back to cheering.
"PJ!! OH MY GOD! I fucking told you I wasn't crazy when I felt the pull early!" I yelled happily.
PJ's eyes widened and he handed Andy to Becky.
"So, you're saying…"
"Sarah's back! I can feel it! I heard her early…I'm gonna go look for her." I smiled for the first time since Sarah left.
"Alright! Go get her tiger! Meet you at Jake's" He laughed.
Without giving anyone a second glance or word, I bolt out the church and followed the pulled…to the cemetery?
I ran until I saw a figure lying on the ground in front of Billy's tombstone. Sarah. My fiancé. She kept mumbling she was sorry not even noticing I was here. All my feelings starting flooding back to me. I was beyond happy she finally came back to me.
During the time Sarah has been gone, I went through shit. Almost the entire pack hated her for leaving. And, as much as I wanted to hate her, I couldn't. I know the situation but, she decided she wanted to handle it on her damn own. During that time, I would have been doing patrols and I heard some of Sarah's thoughts and when I told PJ or anyone else, they thought I was crazy. I constantly stuck up for Sarah since the pack kept insulting her. Why do I stick up for her? Plain and simply. I love Sarah from the bottom of my heart. No matter what. And even though we hadn't gotten married then, I vowed to protect her from anyone or anything.
I now made my may to her by her side and dropped to my knees. Sarah stopped her pleading and turned her head to look dead at me. When she did, she let out a tiny gasp and stared. Her mouth was slightly open, eyes wide open and tears running down her face.
Sarah's POV
I didn't even notice someone walking up to me until they dropped down onto their knees. I opened my closed eyes and let them travel from the ground to the person's shirt covered chest to their face. Once I looked into those eyes I longed for, I was gone…not literally. Everything shifted.
OH MY FUCKING GOD…I just imprinted on Seth! I thought.
To say Seth hadn't changed at all would be an understatement. His face was manlier than the boy one he used to have. Fuck everything on him gotten bigger. I'm not sure of his man area but, that most likely got bigger, too.
"hi." I whispered.
"hi." He whispered back.
"Seth…I'm sorry I…" He cut me off with a 4 year long kiss.
I molded myself to him and slid my arms around his neck in an iron grasp not wanting to let go. This kiss was passionate but, slow which was nice.
"It's okay baby. You're back and that's all that matters." He mumbled against my lips.
I threw myself onto him once again but, I just hugged him tight and cried. Seth whispered calm and soothing words to me making he cry even harder.
"I…I sh…should be t…the on…one to be soothing you." I cried.
"Why? I'm okay now that you're here." He chuckled.
"Because I left you…for…f…four damn years!"
I was so frustrated. He should be mad at me. Never talk to me again but, he wasn't. He was hopped up on the fact I came back to even be mad at me.
"Seth?" A soft voice said which wasn't mine.
I felt Seth stiffen in my arms and we both turned to see some chick standing there looking concerned. She had dark brown hair, fuck! She looked like she belonged in a Victoria's Secret catalog. OMG! He moved on! I...I THOUGHT WE WERE STILL ENGAGED! I heart was breaking cause I would have to sit and watch MY IMPRINT with another woman.
"What Mandy?" Seth sighed.
"I was just worried about you…"
I couldn't hear anything else after that. My ears and brain wouldn't let me. I started trembling. The words this Mandy just said kept replaying in my brain. I pulled myself away from the love of my life and started backing away.
"Sarah…what wrong?" He panicked.
"I…I…I need to go…um…god I'll see you… at my house."
After that, I ran back to my house. I didn't bother phasing just took off like a bat out of hell.
"I'm too late!! I'm too late!!" I chanted over and over again until I reach the house.
While running back home, I started think how I messed up so badly. I lost the love of my existence, my pack…fuck I don't even know if I can call them mine anymore hate me like a Christian hates the Devil…I don't know!!! My life if totally fucked. How are the twins gonna take the tension between everyone? They've never been around this much tension to come.
Ruby's POV
I really love grandma and grandpa. Me and Colby have been getting spoiled to death since we got here. I like it since mama never spoils us. I wonder when she's coming back. I knew once she found out that our great grandpa died she was gonna take it hard. They were really close. But, I knew she'll be back soon. I was really ticked when I over heard grandma and Aunt Jaks talking to Aunt Tammy about the people in mama's pack, how much they despise her. It made me so mad; I wanted to kick all their fury asses! Hey blame Aunt Tammy for teaching me that word. Now, Colby and I were coloring in our coloring books in the living room. I got up and walked over to grandpa and sat down next to him. I bent my head and looked at him from underneath my eyelashes.
"Grandpa?"
"Yeah sweetie?" he asked curiously.
"Can Colby and I show you what we can do?" I asked sweetly.
Colby perked up from his coloring and smiled widely.
"Yeah! It's awesome!" Colby yelled jumping up and down.
"Okay but, will your mama mind? I don't wanna get in trouble." He laughed.
"NO she won't mind! Yes! Let's go outside." I rushed pulling everyone in the house with me outside.
Grandma told us we would have to go near the garage because the wedding stuff was set up outside. I told grandpa where to stand since he was going to be my test dummie. This should be fun!
"Okay! I'm going first, so brace yourself gramps." I snickered.
I stood there for a second with a smile on my face then…
"Pain."
Once I said it, grandpa was on the ground writhing in pain. I let it last for 2 minutes, and then stopped. Grandpa was gasping for air while grandma was helping him up.
"Ruby! What was that?!" She scolded me.
"That's my power. I can inflict pain." I said proudly with my chin held high.
"Just like Jane's." I heard mama say from the edge of the woods.
She looked like she saw a ghost. I wonder if she did. Hey! If there's such thing as vampires and shape shifters then hey why not ghost. She came up to grandma and said something in her ear while hugging her and grandpa. But, of course, it was too low for me to hear. Mama looked me in the eyes…crap.
"Ruby, didn't I say not to use your powers?" she said lifting an eyebrow.
"What? I just wanted to prepare them just in case I have to use it." I shrugged.
She just shook her head and smiled at me. I hated it when she frowns.
Sarah's POV
I think I might have gone into a depression if I didn't have kids. I'm glad I have them. They turn my fucked up crappy days into good ones. I just got back to see mom helping dad off the ground and I knew whose doing that was. It was either now better than later to show them what they could do. So, I couldn't scold her for it and besides she's only 4. I turned to Colby who was looking nervous as hell. He's my little mama's boy. I kneeled in front of him to see what was wrong.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I said softly.
"I'm scared. Do I have to?" He whispered.
"No, you don't have to. It's up to you. No pressure, okay?" I smiled.
He thought for a minute or so, then he looked up at me expectantly.
"You can go behind the garage? Come on, I'll go with you." I said then took his hand.
"We'll be back!" I yelled to the others.
"WAIT! Can I come?" Ruby yelled.
"Nope. Colby wants to do this without an audience present." I laughed.
Colby and I made it to the back of the garage. I turned around to give him privacy. When I felt a wet muzzle touch my hand, I turned and smiled widely at him. He gave me one in return. Then, we made our way out to find mom looking like she wanted to eat him right up, dad was amazed pretty much the same for everyone else except Tammy and Lauren cause they've already seen him like this plenty of times.
"OH MY GOD! He is so adorable! My god…he like a miniature Seth but, with black paws!" She cooed.
"Wow! And he's still growing?" dad asked.
"Yeap. He has now vampire trait in him but, he gets cold from time to time. But, Ruby…she's fast like a wolf, doesn't phase, the cold gets to her sometimes, needs blood twice every week and when she's not cold, her temperature is like mine."
"I knew the little snots will be gifted!" Jaks laughed holding onto Carson.
Colby and dad were both phased and dad was teaching him how to fight. Carson had to do something but, he was coming back in a few minutes. Lauren wanted to the houses to make sure our stuff were sorted out. Ruby was talking to Tammy about how much she wanted to meet Seth. My heart twisted a bit thinking that Seth might not be mine anymore.
"Let's talk for a bit." Mom said pulling me to a table with Jaks.
Wow. I missed aloud of shit around her. I found out that Leah, Quil, Dickson and Embry weren't phasing anymore. Apparently after Collin died, Dickson had stopped and went off to do his own thing. Quil wanted to grow old with Claire. Dad, Leah and Quil are the people I once hated, elders. Ryan started phasing two years ago. I liked him. He's a good person unlike Soren and Jay Jay. They have and always will hate me. I'm gonna have to beg for forgiveness to prove to them that I'm here to stay for good. I'm not gonna run away and try to do things on my own. That not what a pack is. A pack is a group of wolves that live, feed and travel together. A pack isn't just one person but, a group. And I just realized that a couple of days ago. I had to stop this lone wolf shit and get my act together.
"Oh, and Billy left you a letter in his will. Nobody has read it just so you know. You can read it later…" Mom added.
"Ah, actually I was gonna just take the kids and head to my house on the Rez I bought…"
"Nope. You're staying for this reception. We just got you back. Plus, don't you wanna see your pack?" She said sternly.
I raised an eyebrow at her then sighed at her.
"I don't think their my pack anymore, Ma." I sighed running my hand through my hair.
"OF COURSE WE ARE, ASS! Just because you left doesn't mean you're not our Alpha! Nobody can take that from you. You're our A.F, DAMMIT!" Jaks yelled.
"Okay. I guess we'll stay."
"Good!" They said at the same time.
"If they start being mean to you, I kick their asses, mama!" Ruby yelled from by Tammy.
"RUBY!" I scolded.
"She's right though." Tammy and Jaks said at the same time. They are so alike.
Mom looked at her watch and smiled.
" Jake, go phase back with Colby. They'll be coming in a few minutes." She smiled.
Colby started jumping around in excitement while dad nodded and they both trotted back behind the garage. Holy Aunt Jemima! They're coming! I started hyperventilating. I can't breathe.
Jaks stomped up to me and…
SLAP!
WTF! AGAIN!
"Get it the fuck together, A.F!" She yelled while trying to hold back a laugh.
"You're lucky." I grumbled while rubbing my cheek.
From a distance we heard cars pulling up. Ruby climbed a tree to see over the huge ass house. Colby was nervous because he was wringing his hands and standing behind me. I lifted him up and held him on my hip. Damn, he's getting heavy. Ruby jumped down from that huge ass tree then, skipping next to mom as we all headed back in the house. I'm dreading having to see the pack. I'm fucking dreading it but, it has to be done. WTF!
When did I become such a baby? I thought.
Since you're the moment you enter La Push. Brain thought.
Ruby put max in the basement so, he would mess the reception up. Dad and I sat on the couch with Colby on my lap playing a game on my phone. Tammy was being a fat ass again and raiding the refrigerator. Mom was fixing last minute things before opening the door.
I started fiddling with my engagement ring when dad startled me.
"You still wear it?" He smiled.
"Yeah."
"He'll be happy to see you…"
"I already saw him." I glanced at him.
"When…oh" he nodded
"Yeah. I'm scared." I confessed.
"Hey, what happened to that self-confidence you had?" he joked but, he was serious.
"I don't know." I mumbled.
"Don't worry, alright. I want to see that Sarah not this chicken I know I didn't raise."
I nodded my head and squeezed slightly on Colby for comfort. When the door opened, everyone came filling in the room making me feel claustrophobic. They were talking, and laughing until their sight came to me and it became creepy quiet. Everyone's mouths were ajar except for Seth and the Mandy girl. What was up with her? She looked oddly familiar.
I waved to them slightly.
"Hey guys."
Then, CeCe ran over to me and gave me and Colby and tight hug.
"Sarah, you came back! I missed you." she squealed.
"Yeap. And I missed you too."
"They thought you wouldn't come back…well some did but, I knew you would."
"Well, they're wrong. And I'm sitting right here." I smiled.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Soren step in front of the crowd with a face that would send little kids running.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" He spat.
I stood up and put Colby on the ground beside me when I heard a hiss I know too well. Ruby had hissed at him then, stormed up to him and punched him in the gut. I could tell it hurt fucking badly because her skin is like vampire skin. Hard as hell! She stared him down and he growled and glared at her. But, she made no movement. If she could take on an adult grizzly bear within second, she could take him down easily. I wasn't having that shit though. I stormed up to him so I was face to face.
"Who does this thing belong to?" He spat.
I heard dad growl at what he said.
"SHE belongs to me." I snarled.
"This is your daughter?" I heard Emily asked.
"Yeah, I'm her daughter and that's my brother, Colby Seth Clearwater."
Even though she was talking to Emily, she glared at Mandy. I could tell she didn't like how Mandy was holding onto Seth right now because I sure as hell wasn't happy about it.
"YOU HAD TWINS?" Everyone yelled at once.
"Obviously…" Jaks was interrupt by Sor-dick.
"Yeah. Ones a Seth look-a-like and the other is a hissing cockroach."
With that last comment, I threw him out the front window…or at least tried to but, he bounced back off the window and onto the ground. I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him close to my face so, he could hear me good.
"Listen to ME FUCK FACE! I don't wanna hear you talking about my kids again.Ever!" I snarled.
Tammy grabbed me from my arm and pulled me back just when Jerry and Alyssa came in with smiles on there faces.
"Here comes the…oh shit." Jerry sang.
"What happened? Is everyone okay?" Alyssa asked looking around.
"Everything's fine. Just some opening their mouth to say something disrespectful." Mom glared at Soren.
"You're Sarah right?" Alyssa smiled while walking up to me.
"Yeah. And you're Alyssa the bride?" I smiled back.
"Yes, the one and only." She laughed and to my surprise hugged me.
I hugged her back.
"You can stay if you want." She said hopefully.
"NO she can't…"Jerry yelled.
"AND WHYTHE HELL NOT?! She's the Alpha too. So she can." She yelled.
"Fine. Whatever." He grumbled.
"Okay let's get this party started!" Ruby said then flipped backwards off the couch.
Alyssa grabbed her hand and started walking out back.
"So what's your name, missy?"
"Ruby Sue Clearwater, bride lady." She giggled.
When Ruby finished introducing herself, I felt a hand grab mine and yank me back slightly. I turned to see that it was Seth's.
"Her middle name's Sue?" He smiled a tad.
I could only find myself to nod.
"After my mom?" I nodded.
"Sarah, please talk to me." He pleaded.
"I…"
"Sarah! Tammy! Everything is set u…" Lauren yelled but, got quiet when stared off somewhere behind me.
Tammy, Seth, and I turned to what she was staring at…HOLY FUCK FACE!! Tammy yanked Lauren so that now she was blocking her view.
"No! YOU FUCKING ASS HAT IMPRINTED ON MY SISTER!" Tammy yelled at Soren. (GASP)
"LET HER GO!" Soren growled.
They kept yelling back and forth. Jesus! We are at a reception! Can't they act like they know better?
You were acting up too, princess. Brain thought.
Oh shut up! I thought.
It would have been going on for an hour if Seth hadn't stepped in. Seth told him to calm down since he was shaking up a storm. He still was quivering a bit afterwards. But, Tammy couldn't leave it alone.
"You go nowhere near me sister! And if you do, let's just say nobody will be able to define your body." Tammy snarled.
Soren fucking lost it just then. It's fucking hard to have to stay away from your imprint. Soren pushed Tammy so hard, she flew and was about to hit the patio if it was for P.J catching her. She thanked him. I stood straight and looked dead at Soren.
"See, if he can't control his anger when dealing with me, then how can you be around my human sister? Huh! I'm not letting that happen. She's the only family I have left so, I'll be damned." She said calmly holding back her anger.
Everyone was surprised. Nobody wanted another Emily situation. If you think about it, that was some sort of test to see his self control. And he failed. Tammy probably would have let them maybe see each other if he didn't lay his hands on her. He's just gonna have to work on that if he ever wants to see her. Lauren looked just as afraid as everyone else because if that were to have happened to her, she would have been seriously hurt. And, she knew that just by the look in her eyes.
"Soren…" Sam sighed in disappointment putting one hand on his shoulder.
"Lauren, stay away from him. Until he gets that under control, I don't want him or you near each other. Final." Tammy said sternly while rubbing her temples.
"Okay." She whispered.
After that, the reception went on as planned. Colby and Ruby were introduced to Seth and Leah. Seth looked like he was complete. I later found out that P.J imprinted on Becky and had a son named Andy. Colby, Ruby and Andy played together. Mom was trying to ease Lauren, but every time one of the pack came near or came over, she would pull herself closer to ma's side. The whole Soren and Tammy disaster fucked her up good. She was terrified that at any moment they would hurt her. And Soren…I actually felt bad for him. He looked like a drowned dog. Maybe…god what the hell corrupted me into even thinking of this, maybe I can help him with his anger…hell I need to work on my anger as well. People were dancing and talking. The bride and groom did their first dance. It was cute. I've been avoiding Seth for a reason and that being because I didn't want him to break things off with us.
I walked to the kitchen to drink my blood. It was that time anyway. As much as I despise drinking it, I need to have it. For the vamp side of me. I was getting ready to open the refrigerator door when I heard someone approach me. I whorled around to find Seth, once again.
I need to do this. I thought.
"Hey Seth." I smiled.
"Hey. You talking to me now?" he smirked.
"Yeah, we need to talk." I glanced down at the tile floor before looking back up at him.
"Why?" he asked.
"Seth…you know why." I sighed.
"We could have handled that together…"
"I KNOW I KNOW! I just wanted to take care of it myself since it was my…" Seth cut me off.
"No. Stop…"
"NO. I'm not gonna stop blaming myself because I know and you know it's true! If I would have gone with Heidi then people wouldn't have died because of me." I raised my voice.
"You know what? YOU KNOW WHAT, SARAH! FINE. IT IS YOUR FAULT IS THAT WHAT YOU WANNA FUCKING HEAR?! You…" He took a deep breath.
I forced the tears to stand down. Seth unclenched his jaw then tightened it again.
"Why did you stay away so long? Why didn't you tell me you and the twins were fine?! I spent those 4 miserable years wonder if you were okay. Were you dead? I didn't fucking KNOW! Fuck Sarah, half the pack didn't want you back!" He spat.
"I WAS AFRAID OKAY! I WAS AFRAID YOU MOVED ON! I COULDN'T DEAL WITH THINK THAT, SETH! AND, APPARENTLY YOU HAVE!" I yelled.
"WHAT THE HELL, SARAH! I HAVEN'T MOVED ON! I'VE BEEN PINNING OVER YOU SINCE YOU FUCKING LEFT!" He yelled gripping his hands in his short hair.
"THEN, WHO THE FUCK IS THIS MANDY?! HUH!" I screamed.
Seth growled in frustration. When you speak of the devil, she shall appear.
"Seth?" Mandy asked hesitantly.
"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU WANT? CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE TALKING?!" I snarled.
"You know what…I'm leaving. I need to think because if I stay here any longer, I'll say something I'll regret later." Seth sighed then, took Mandy's hand and headed for the front door.
I heard people following us but, I slammed the front door shut so it was only us three in front.
"Do you doubt every time I said I love you? Or when I say I missed you? Or when we made love? Or when I put that damn ring on your fucking finger? Every-fucking-thing I did for you, do you doubt that?!" He yelled from the driver's side of the door.
"Don't you walk out on me, Seth! Don't walk out on us." I yelled my plea.
I just want to double over in pain because my heart was breaking. I don't think I can leave without him.
"Oh why not? I didn't it to me 4 years ago." He grimaced.
I started panting. He was leaving me. I watch him get into the driver's seat and Mandy getting into the passenger seat. When she looked up at me through the windshield, I saw fucking red. That bitch smirked at me! It wasn't one of those "aw its okay" smirks, it was "I've got him right where I want him" smirk. I was livid at this point. Before Seth turned the car on, I levitated the car off the ground.
"Put the damn car down now!" Tammy yelled.
"Sarah! Put. The. Car. Down." He yelled from the sun roof.
Bitch you wanna play? Let's play! I thought.
I place the car on the ground and in an instant Seth was in front of me trying to calm me down. Once Mandy stepped out that car, she was thrown into the woods and I speeded in her direction phasing right out of my clothes. I was out to tear the bitch apart. Everyone that could phase phased except Colby. I saw a white wolf with brown roots, crouching and growling at me. Mandy. I leapt at her and we fought for a good while. She got a couple of hits in but, I did more. I wanted to draw blood. I wanted her to be weak at my feet. I wanted to know where the fuck do I know her from. Anyways, I tore her a new one. I hated her, hated her with a passion.
By the time the rest showed up, I had bitch here on the ground quivering in human form. She feared me. I could sense it off her. Good, now she'll stay away from my man. I stood above her growling and snarling until Jerry shoved me so hard, I hit a damn tree. I phased back to human form and I could tell my eye color was not brown anymore. My eyes were red and I was beyond pissed. I grabbed one of the guys' shirts and threw it on. Queenie must have notice me making my way over to Jerry.
"Watch out!" She yelled.
But, it was too late. I had him by the neck and lift him in the air.
"I swear I will end your life Jerry, if you ever touch me again." I growled.
Then, I threw him into a tree causing it to knock over. I was out of control. This is not me. It's like my 6/17th birthday party all over again. But, this time my powers had evolved.
I turned around just to get a really hard punch to the face. Queenie punched me so hard that above my right eyebrow was bleeding. I pushed her into Soren and locked eyes with my prey, Mandy. Suddenly, Seth grabbed hold of my face.
"Look at me, babe. Look at me!" he panicked.
My eyes met his and I started to calm down until she saw Mandy moving to Soren.
"I can't stop!" I panicked then, I felt rage.
Die Die Die! Something chanted in her brain.
"NO! SHUT UP!" I screamed holding my head.
Blood Blood! It chanted over again and my mouth started to water.
"Seth…get the twins…mom and dad…" I choked out trying to refuse the urge for blood.
"They're fine…"
"No…Ruby and…Colby know what to do…Please." I gasped.
"Okay okay. I'll be right back." He hurried to phase and was gone.
I tried not to hurt anyone. So, I kept my distance to fight the urge for blood. Mandy stood up, hands held out in surrender.
"Sarah…"
"DON'T let my name come from your mouth!" I glared.
"Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to piss you off." She apologized.
"Then, what the fuck was the smirk you gave me at Seth's car?! HUH!"
"I was just being friendly!" She yelled back.
"NO! YOU WANT TO STEAL HIM AWAY FROM ME! YOU STUPID SH…"
"Ma! Mama here!" Ruby jumped off Colby's back and handed me my blood.
I gulped it down without a second thought then, blacked out.
Seth and Sarah reunited, a kick ass Ruby, nervous Colby, Soren's imprint problemo, Sarah and Seth's arguement and Sarah's crazy inner demons..
So what ya'll think!!! Gonna do chapter 9 soon. I gotta put some ideas for that chapter! Maybe a lemony goodness???
