Chapter 10
Lakota's point of view

After Seth and I ate we talked with his mother for a little. She's so sweet and kind, a real mother. She seems to like me, even though my family are vampires and her tribe is taught to hate them. We left after a while and headed back to the house.

"So you like cars?" Seth asks.

"Yep, love them," I say smiling and he smiles too.

"I have a question for you," I say.

"What is it?" he asks.

"Why do you like my family, I mean you're a werewolf, aren't you supposed to hate them?" I ask.

"Yes but they're different," he says.

"I know they drink animal blood," I say.

"And they're nice," he says and I smile.

"Even my mother and father?" I ask.

"Yes even your parents," he says and I chuckle.

"Not for long," I say pulling up into the driveway.

"It's a good thing I heal super fast," he says and I chuckle as we get out. "

LAKOTA!" a voice yells and before I can even blink I'm pulled away from Seth and to the front door behind my mother.

"What have you done to my daughter?!" mom snarls at Seth.

"Mom he didn't do anything," I say.

"Rosalie you know I wouldn't harm Lakota," Seth says.

"I don't trust you mutts," she glares.

"Mom they're not mutts and stop being so rude!" I say and she looks shocked.

"Lakota go inside," mom says.

"No," I say and walk over to Seth. Mom looks shocked and mad.

"Lakota Rose Cullen get in the house this minute!" she yells.

"You should go inside, I don't want you to get in trouble," Seth says and I smile at him.

"No mother, I need to speak with you and dad, Seth needs to be there too," I say and mom glares at Seth.

"About what?" mom asks as dad comes out of the house.

"Uncle Edward can you come out here just in case?" I ask and he comes out of the house and stands near mom and dad.

"What is going on?" mom asks.

"You have to promise me you won't hurt Seth," I say.

"I will do no such thing," she says.

"Okay than I'll go live with Seth and not return," I say and she growls.

"Lakota!" mom says.

"Your choice mother," I say.

"Edward she's not really going to do that is she?" mom asks uncle.

"She is," he says and mom groans.

"Fine I won't hurt the mutt," mom sneers.

"Dad?" I ask.

"I won't hurt him," dad says and I sigh.

"Okay um Seth sorta imprinted on me," I say and their jaws drop.

"WHAT!" they scream.

"It's not bad," I say. Mom glances at Seth and growls. Before I can say another word mom and dad lunge at Seth and land on him.

"How dare you!" mom yells.

"Lakota move!" uncle yells and I do. Seth phases and growls at mom and dad. They hiss at him and glare daggers at him.

"Don't!" I yell getting in between them.

"Lakota move now!" dad says.

"Daddy no, Seth's a good boy he won't hurt me," I say.

"He's a mutt!" mom yells.

"He's a shape shifter and he's good," I defend.

"Rose, Emmett you know Seth's a good boy, he wouldn't hurt a fly," uncle Edward says.

"But he imprinted on my baby girl!" dad growls.

"And Jacob imprinted on my little girl, but I haven't killed him, yet," uncle says and dad sighs and looks to Seth.

"I'm sorry, you really are a good guy Seth and if anyone had to be my daughters soul mate I'm glad it's you," he says and Seth nods his head.

"He says thank you," uncle says.

"Emmett what are you doing!" mom yells.

"Rose I know you don't like the werewolves but we knew this might happen," dad says.

"But I don't want it to happen!" mom says.

"I know, I don't either but we have to face it, our little girl is growing up," dad says and mom sighs. I walk over to my mom and look at her.

"Mom I'll always be your little girl, but you do have to share me," I say.

"I know," she says and hugs me.

"Seth I'm sorry," mom says and he nods.

"You can be with my daughter but if you harm her, you're not going to heal so easily," mom says and Seth whines. I glance at my mother and she smiles.

"See ya inside," she says and she, dad, and uncle Edward go inside.

"I'm sorry about them," I say going to Seth. He shrugs and I pet his big furry head.

"Could we go for that ride now?" I ask and he shakes his head no.

"But why?" I ask.

"Oh never mind you can't speak to me, go change back and come inside," I say and head inside.

When I get inside I see a new vampire with dad. I jump on dads back and he grunts.

"Hi daddy," I say and he smiles.

"Daddy?" the vampire asks.

"Yes Garrett this is Lakota, Rose and I adopted her a few years ago," dad says.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you," Garrett says.

"Oh Garrett, you're the nomad dad meet in New Jersey," I say realizing who he is.

"Yes, that's me," he says.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," I say and he nods. He looks toward the door and glares. I follow his gaze and see Seth. I smile and hop off dad's back. I walk over to Seth and take his hand and go upstairs to my room.

"That door better stay open!" mom yells up and I blush. Seth chuckles and I sit on the bed.

"So what do you want to do?" I ask.

"What do you want to do?" he asks.

"Tell me about your legends," I say and he nods. He starts to tell me the legends and I get a flashback, I think.

"Jared did you hear that, we're related to wolves!" a little girl says.

"We're not really, that's just a story," a little boy says. "

I believe it," she says.

"Whatever Lakota," he says.

"BOO!" a boy says and the girl screams.

"AH!" she screams.

"Paul you scared me!" she yells at the other little boy.

"I was trying to," he says and she glares at him.

"Paul I wouldn't have done that," Jared, says.

"I'm not scared of little Lakota," Paul says. Lakota jumps on Paul and they tumble on the ground until someone clears their throat. They look up and see a man looking curious.

"Sorry uncle Billy," Lakota says standing up.

"Sorry Mr. Black," Paul says.

"It's alright kids, just be careful and nice," he says and leaves.

"You're gonna get it at home," Lakota says.

"In your dreams squirt," he says and the race back to Jared.

"Lakota, hello," Seth says waving his hands in front of my face.

"Hmm, what?" I ask snapping out of my thoughts.

"Are you okay, you looked spaced out," he says.

"Ya I'm fine just thinking," I say. What was that? That couldn't have been a flashback. Who are Paul and Jared though?

"Did you like the legends?" he asks.

"Ya they were really great," I say.

"Billy tells them better," he says and I freeze. Billy was in my flashback.

"Who's Billy?" I ask.

"Jake's dad," he says. Why would I know Billy, I haven't even been to La Push. And why would I call him uncle?

"Oh," I say.

"Are you sure you're okay," he asks worried.

"I'm fine Seth, really," I say.

"Okay, well I have to go patrol but I'll be back in a few hours," he says.

"Okay, be safe," I say and he smiles.

"Always," he says and leaves my room.
