Finally some Seth POV. Hope you enjoy. I don't own twilight, etc.

Seth POV

I set my alarm clock for noon, just to be sure I was awake and on time to meet up with our new friend today. True, she wasn't a friend, more like the least offensive of our enemies, but I was sure things were looking up on that front. It didn't sit well with me, this treaty with the Cullen family. I didn't really know them, but they seemed nice enough. I liked to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, even if they were vampires. Besides, they didn't eat people. They went to school and work just like anyone else. The head vamp was a doctor for crying out loud. If he was a danger to people, how was it possible for him to work in a hospital. It just didn't make sense to me, but oh well, I was low man on the totem pole. I did what I was told. The idea that I had to follow Sam's orders all the time worried me, though. I really hoped a day didn't come where he forced me to do something I felt was wrong.

I huffed, removing the thought from my mind. Sam wouldn't do that. He'd always do what was best of the pack and all the people we protect.

I got dressed in my usual: old jean shorts, old t-shirt and no shoes. Being a wolf didn't help with the class of your wardrobe, not that mine was much to begin with. I was always the ragged clothes type and I'd taken to not wearing shoes at all. It cut down on the replacement bills. My sister Leah was another story. It drove her crazy to have to wear older clothes, but she did it in order to save her nice things from being shredded.

I rushed down the hall to find my mom in the kitchen, making lunch. She must have heard me moving around. The poor woman was still getting use to having 2 constantly hungry wolves in the house.

"Finally up I see. Hungry?"

I eyed her questioningly.

She laughed lightly, then placed 2 large ham sandwiches on the table in front of me. I loved my mom!

"So, Sam has you going out to meet the 'tiger chick' as Leah so colorfully called her?"

"Yeah, Sam wants me to bring her from the border to his place. She's not a vampire, but she's still a part of the Cullen's family, so I guess the treaty lines still apply to her."

Mom came over to the table and sat down next to me. She had that worried mom look on her face. She placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You be careful, Seth. I mean it. We don't know these people. Her family is a group of vampires. We can't be sure we can trust her."

I shrugged the hand off my shoulder gently. "She's coming here alone, mom. I doubt she has any plans to attack us. If anything, she's probably just as worried as you are that we plan to attack her. Or kidnap her, maybe. Her family has so much more to worry about than we do. She doesn't know us, but she's trusting us enough to come for the visit by herself. It'll be fine."

My mom seemed to consider this. I don't think it even crossed her mind that this girl coming over to our side was someones daughter, someones family. That, even though they were vampires, the Cullens were probably worrying themselves silly that she might not come back to them. For the first time, I think she saw the vampire family from around the corner as people. I bet Kira's family was having this exact conversation with her.

I looked up at the clock...12:30. "I gotta go, mom." I mumbled with a full mouth. She gave me a disapproving look, but smiled anyway. I got up from the table, kissed her on the cheek, and jogged out the door. I finished the last bite of my sandwich as I hit the woods. I figured I'd get a few laps in before I made it to the border.

Jasper POV

I stood in the kitchen as Kira ate lunch. It had been so long since she lived with us, I had forgotten just how much she could eat. I tapped my fingers on the wall lightly, lost in thought. I didn't like this. I didn't like this at all. Kira, the only daughter I would ever have, was going to go over onto enemy territory, alone. If anything happened, we couldn't even come over to help without breaking the treaty. I very low growl escaped my lips before I could catch myself. Kira looked up at me, as well as Alice, who was sitting at the table with Kira, chatting about this and that.

"You're angry." Kira stated, not looking up from her food.

"I'm not angry, just concerned. I don't like that you're going over there alone." I put up my hand to stop Kira from commenting. "I know, I know, I told you it was your decision, but I think I've changed my mind."

"Jazz, babe, she'll be fine." Alice soothed, getting up and hugging me tightly. "They didn't invited her over to hurt her. They have no reason to. In 2 days they'll be up to their knees in newborns. They have no reason to pick a fight with us right now."

"She's right dad." Kira agreed, getting up from the table to place her empty dishes in the sink. "I'd bet good money they've never met another shapeshifter before. I'm sure they're just curious and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little curious too."

"You've spent too much time in Vegas, darlin' " I replied, my southern drawl coming out more and more since Kira had returned. "If you're not careful, next time you'll come home with a gambling problem and a tattoo you got when you were too drunk to remember."

Kira laughed at my joke. It helped to lighten the mood. She hid it well, but she was just as nervous about the meeting as I was. Maybe not for the same reasons, but I could still feel the nervous energy coming off her in waves. She came and gave me a hug. "Come on dad, you know I can't get drunk and any tattoo I tried to get would just fade away in a day. I can work on a gambling problem if you want, but I really hate to waste money."

I chuckled to myself and hugged her back. It was good to have my daughter back home. Alice bounced in place for a moment then wrapped an arm around each of us and kissed both of us on the cheek. "It's almost 1 Jasper, she really needs to get going. Besides, you need to leave so you can get back and go hunting with me."

I looked at Alice quizzically. I didn't know I was taking Kira to the border or going hunting with Alice this afternoon for that matter.

"I see you running Kira out there, the vision blurs, then I see you running back and us going hunting." Alice explained.

Kira giggled to herself. After all these years, she still got a kick out of Alice's visions. "Well then, I guess we had better get going." She grabbed my arm and dragged me outside, leaving Alice in the kitchen with an amused look on her face. I realized in that moment just how much work it was to keep up with both Alice and Kira when they were both with me. I missed having both my girls living under the same roof.

Once outside, Kira jumped onto my back, hiding her face in my neck. I made sure she was secure, then headed out to the territory line. When we got close, I could feel a single mind waiting. Whoever it was, he was excited and happy. I very friendly, non-threatening mind. We arrived to find the same sandy tan wolf from the other night waiting patiently. He yipped in greeting, bouncing on his front legs. I couldn't help but smile. Whoever this was, we was definitely the best choice to come out and meet us. His positive emotions helped put my mind a ease about this little meeting. Kira hopped off my back.

"Don't worry dad, I'll be fine. And don't worry about picking me back up. I can run home. You enjoy your hunt with Alice."

Kira was almost as excited as the wolf.

"You be careful." I ordered one last time.

Kira just rolled her eyes, then shifted. Her white tiger form was much bigger than the wolf, but he didn't seem to mind. He just nudged her with his nose, bumping her side gently, then darted into the woods. Kira took one last look at me, then charged off after him.

I love making Seth a happy, hyper person. It's just too much fun. Hope you liked. Review and let me know what you think.
