To Eclipsia Black: Your (friend's) wish, my command. I am still taking suggestions, though I'm probably writing about Charlie next. Just can't get enough about him in my other story. ;)

There is Seth, anyway. It was not very easy to write, as we don't know overmuch about him, and I don't remember most of the things too well. (It has been forever -no pun intended- since I read Breaking Dawn.) Hope I didn't make any major mistakes.

Enjoy!

Ten things you never knew about Seth Clearwater

1. He had always admired Jacob.

Even since he was child, it was always Jacob he looked up the most. Not Quil, nor Embry nor even Leah. (Which seemed to irritate her quite a lot.) Maybe it was because he knew him better than his friends, but it always seemed to him, that Jacob had something about him that made others follow. He didn't ask for that: he was just too... It was hard to describe, and sometimes he thought he was just imagining it, but there was no question he was natural leader.

Natural Alpha.

2. He never got others hate against vampires.

Honestly, it was just weird. He remembered hearing stories as kid: he always found 'cold ones' fascinating: cool mythical creatures with the superpowers, just like wolves. He couldn't understand why everyone else spoke of them with the fear and hate. So, well, they ate humans. It was not like it was real! There was lots of stories where werewolves were bad guys. And those so-called yellow eyed vampires didn't even hurt anyone.

Even after he realised the truth in the legends (which was rather hard not to, after he had burst out from his skin) he couldn't understand the viciousness.

In some part of his mind, they were still cool characters from exciting stories. They made life more interesting.

3. Phasing was shock to him.

It was... unexpected to say the least. I mean, come on! At one moment you are arguing with your sister on some most ridiculous reason. You are trying wonder why it got you so riled up and then... simsalabim an voilaa – a little (well huge) furball with ridiculously long hair. He didn't realise why wouldn't Sam at least give them a little heads up: as well he would have been in the middle of the classroom or out with his friends. But instead he had just suddenly exploded and there were bunch of voices in his head telling him to shut up and calm down.

Honour indeed.

4. Fight with Riley was fun.

He couldn't believe his luck. At first, he had been very irritated with being held back from the battle: he wasn't a kid anymore, no matter what Sam or Leah may think. (Or Jacob, or mother, or Billy...) He could fight as well as anyone else. But just as he was thinking he will spend the whole day freezing into furry stature with the cold, listening Edward and Bella whispering sweet nothingnesses to each other (*Gag*), he was suddenly in the middle of the most important fight of the evening. No one else had fought with the mature leech and no on else could say they had destroyed their opponents all by themselves. (No matter what they would say about Bella helping...)

5. He felt bad about Bree.

He didn't even get to see her. At least not from eye to eye. He had seen the girl from the others points of view, had heard their shock and surprise, when Carlisle offered her life. He, too had been rather apprehensive, but Jasper had agreed to it, though rather reluctantly and anyone could say he knew what he was doing. They wouldn't let her live if she was too hard to control, right? He hoped she will survive.

But there had been so much confusion after the battle, Edward had told him to go straight home and others had followed soon. All he could understand was that some 'bad vamps' were coming, and Jacob was badly hurt.

He knew no one else shared a second thought to a girl, who had so unfortunately gotten herself into the mess she didn't deserve.

6. He didn't think twice before running after Jacob.

There wasn't even the slightest doubt. It was a right thing to do, he was sure in it. With all his readiness to protect humanity, Sam was beginning to miss small things. Bella Swan was a human, too. A rather nice human at that. And her child – because that was what it was – was not even born yet! Who was Sam to say, if they should live or die. And Cullens were not their enemies. Seth could understand that to several members of the pack, the child was just an excuse to attack them.

It was wrong. The purpose of the werevolves was supposed to be protecting, not destroying.

7. He was worried about Leah.

Not that he would ever tell her that. Leah would either suppose he thinks her weak, or is pitying her: two things she hated the most.

In truth, Seth knew her sister is probably the strongest person he had ever met, maybe with the exception of their mother. But even she had her limits. With all that was thrown to her, she had to crack sooner or later. Yet she was dealing: maybe not very well, but still better than most people would have had. And yet he worried.

One day she may not be able to bear it any more. And then what?

8. He loved swimming.

More than anything else. The feeling of freedom it gave to him, like nothing mattered, like all his problems were pointless, was not possible to compare with anything else. It reminded him of his father, who used to take him fishing with him. It reminded him a childhood that was so unexpectedly taken from him. The water was calming and cool, even to his heated skin.

It was good thing to know that some things are still stronger than him, more important, and definitely more durable.

9. In his opinion, vampires weren't the weirdest things around Forks.

Well, they were pretty weird. Even he, the fourteen years old horse-sized werewolf had to agree with that. Even if you leave out the drinking-blood-and-sparkling-in-the-sun crap, there was no way you could categorize Alice or Emmett as 'normal'. Or any of them, really.

But when he was at Bella's wedding, watching Tyler and Lauren making out behind the corner, excited Angela showing her caught bouquet to quite panicked looking Ben and rather worried Mr. Webber, endlessly babbling Jessica and most of all, Mike who was ogling Bella with dreamy look in his eyes.

No. Deffinitely not the weirdest.

10. He begun to think of Cullens as his family.

He wasn't exactly sure how it happened. At one moment they were... well, not exactly his enemies, but he definitely felt certain apprehension towards them. Then, over the battle and in few weeks that followed, he gradually became closer with them, until he could call at least few of them his friends.

And then, suddenly he found himself guarding them, risking his life for them as it was most sensible thing in the world. They weren't leeches any more. They were Edward and Bella and Alice and Jasper and so many others. He was almost as close to them as Jacob was, maybe even closer to some, because there wasn't the whole imprinting issue mixed in. They called him pup or cub, teased him like a little brother, who has somehow become part of their lives without having to realise what pain truly means.
