A/N *Gives out a dozen cookies to every reader* I know i'm horrible for that cliffhanger but i'm pretty sure that's the last one. Geez, I seriously thought i was gonna get shot or something from some of those reviews. But i'm glad so many people are interested in what happens with Seth and Penny and everyone else. Please continue to show your support!
Guest: I'm sorry, i know cliffhangers are horrible but i couldn't help it, kinda.
DracoXloveXme1: you know what i just realized, you leave the same review every time. I'm not sure how to take that but hey, as long as you enjoy my story.
Goofy4ever: I certainly wonder as well, but Penny doesn't know who she is.
BlueEyedDreamer97: Seriously, your review made me feel so horrible for ending the chapter with a cliffhanger. I promise i will never push you off a cliff or laugh maniacally while doing so.
CrystalizedFairy: wish granted, i hope you'll enjoy what happens in this chapter.
yesitsjennifer: sorry, no head chopping off yet, plus it, as you'll find out, it wasn't just Seth there *oohs*
DGMSilverAirHead03: I hate Victoria, but as a writer cliffhangers can be entertaining. Well, Monday came so here we are.
Tori-Chii103: Unfortunately no, but he does get to have some time with her alone soon.
Me: In an effort to not prolong this chapter and avoid my possible demise at the hands of my readers. Seth, do the disclaimer, and do it fast.
Seth: *salutes* yes ma'am! NataliaRoma97 does not own Twilight or its characters, she merely created Penny but Penny's mine! haha!
Me: *glares at Seth* Shut up, you're giving too much away! Anyways, enjoy! And don't forget to review!
The cold hand suddenly disappeared and I dropped to the asphalt gasping for air. I felt cold arms around me as Esme helped me to my feet. "Are you all right?" she asked. "The others went after her as did the wolves."
I nodded as I suddenly heard the most wonderful voice, "I'll take her," Seth said as he came out form the trees, shirtless. My heart fluttered when I saw him.
Esme nodded as Seth scooped me up and carried me over to the passenger seat. After he buckled me in, he got in the driver's side and drove to a house I'd never seen before. He cut the engine and came around to my side. He then picked me up again and started to carry me towards the house.
"I can walk, Seth," I told him. He simply gave me a look and I knew he didn't believe me. Okay, maybe I was still in shock from having been nearly killed so I didn't push it. Once inside, Seth gently set me on the couch in the living room and a woman rushed in.
She was beautiful with russet skin and raven black hair. But what stuck out were these three long jagged scars on the side of her face. "Hi, I'm Emily. It's so great to finally meet you." She grasped my hands in hers.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Penny."
She smiled mischievously, "I know. Seth hasn't shut up about-"
"Okay," Seth suddenly interrupted. "Emily could you please make Pen some hot chocolate?"
"Sure," Emily said as she disappeared into the kitchen. The silence between Seth and I was extremely awkward. A minute later, Emily reappeared and handed me a mug of hot chocolate. After I thanked her, she disappeared into the kitchen again.
"Pen," Seth spoke up suddenly making me look up at him. "Look, I didn't explain right earlier. I didn't imprint on some girl." He looked straight into my dark eyes as he sat down. "I…I imprinted on you."
I couldn't meet his gaze and glanced down at my hands clasped around the mug. "I know, I kinda figured it out." I set the mug down on the coffee table.
"I'm so sorry. I'm the worst soul mate ever. I isolated you because I thought I could protect you. But when I tried to tell you the truth I made you think I was in love with someone else." Wait, love? "But worst of all, you were almost killed by a psycho redhead leech-"
"Seth," I cut him off. "Shut up and kiss me." Seth stopped mid-rant, absorbing what I'd just said. He then grinned and pressed his lips to mine.
I sighed in pleasure. His lips were warm and careful but a little hesitant. I rolled my eyes behind my lids and pressed myself more to him. His hand cupped my cheek as I fisted mine in his hair. I heard a low growl from his chest as he licked my bottom lip. I immediately allowed him entrance. This felt so right. We fit together perfectly.
Just then a wolf-whistle startled us. We turned to see all of the guys standing in the doorway. Jake and Paul looked furious. Embry, Quil, and Jared were grinning like idiots. I'm sure it was one of them that whistled. Leah stood off to the side with her arms crossed and a half smile. Sam was just passive.
"Get your hands off my sister!" Jake bellowed as he stormed towards Seth.
I stood up, "Jacob Ephraim Black!" He froze at his full name. "You can't just waltz in here and try to play the over-protective big brother card!" Jake looked down as Embry and Quil 'oohed'. I glared at them, "You two are in just as much trouble as he is." That shut them up. I turned back to my brother. "And secondly, I'm sorry. I was upset and angry and I acted like a brat." Jake grinned and I hugged him. "And Sam," I said afterwards. "I owe you an apology too. I was just as rude to you when you were trying to help them."
"Thank you," he said.
Just then I noticed Emily coming out of the kitchen. She quickly kissed Sam before turning to me. "You're welcome to stay here for the night, Penny."
"Thanks. Would you mind letting Dad know, Jake?" I pleaded with my brother.
Jake shrugged, "Sure, sure." One by one all of the guys filed out.
"Night Penny," Sam said.
"Sleep tight," Emily added as the two of them went to bed.
"Yeah, if I can sleep without having a nightmare." I mumbled as I turned around and noticed Seth still on the couch. "Shouldn't you be heading home?"
Seth shook his head, "Nope, I'm going to be here so you won't have a nightmare."
"Won't Sue be worried?" He just shook his head again. I shrugged and curled up next to him on the couch. Seth wrapped his arms around me and I quickly fell asleep. Despite everything I was glad he was there.
