Chapter 10

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face. My first thought was. ' I'm going out with Seth Clearwater!' my smile grew at this thought. I jumped up and set out to find my clothes for the day. I went to my draws and pulled out a pair of jeans and blue checked ¾ length shirt. I put them on and went onto my hair. I brushed it and was in loose curls around my shoulders. I clipped my fringe back and headed downstairs smiling. " Morning all." I said whilst getting a bowl out of the cupboard. I got out some cereal not noticing what it was and made myself a bowl.

" Where is the morning monster we know and love?" Alex said smirking as she saw I was dressed and presentable before 8 in the morning. I smiled at her sweetly before answering.

" Well Alexis Mackenzie." I started knowing she hated both her first and middle name." She decided to take a morning off."

" Call me that again and get hurt." She said trying to be threatening. She is short and stick like. She's only about 5ft whereas I'm 5ft 6, so I have the advantage.

" Oh yeah, shorty?" I asked in a taunting voice knowing she'll pull out in the last second. A few seconds after she burst out laughing and I joined in. after our laughter had died down I went upstairs to the bathroom to clean my teeth to find the door locked again. Jeez, Haley is such a bathroom hog. I knocked the door followed by shouting, " hurry up woman. Some of us are happy looking imperfect. You might want to join us."

She opened the door looking majorly pissed off. " There have the bathroom." She snarled before stomping to her room. I think she may have pms, I mean she's a bit of a bitch usually but not this much. I dismissed all thoughts of that genre and went to clean my teeth.

I skipped down the stairs and into the living room. I turned the tv on and switched it over to the news channel for entertainment until Seth got here.

… the two bodies were found by a ranger at the park at about 7 this morning. The coroner analysed the body and it seems the cause of death was an animal attack. Either a bear or wolf. The identities of the victims are yet to be released to us. People are recommended to stay on the trails in the woods and don't go deep in if it's not necessary. There will be another update on this story in this evening's news.

Now onto sports with Michael…

I stopped listening after the report was finished. 2 people had died so close to me. That's horrible, animal attack. Wolf. Seth. Wolf. Seth. Oh my God! What if they were behind the attacks? No Seth said they protected us. I know he wouldn't hurt me but that doesn't stop him hurting other people. I sat there staring at the tv not taking anything in. I was in my own bubble. I heard the doorbell go and I couldn't move I was still thinking about the report. What if it was him? What was I going to do? I heard the door being opened and Haley saying, " I think she's in the living room watching tv."

Next thing I knew I had a warm pair of arms around me and I felt warm lips press against my forehead.

" Are you okay Faye?" he asked concerned. I didn't answer. "Faye?" he said whilst shaking me gently to get my attention.

" Did you see the news?" I asked suddenly. I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just going to hurt myself in the process.

" About the two found dead in the forest?" he asked. I nodded not trusting my voice.

"Yeah, I heard about it."

" The news said animal attack." I muttered finally looking up into his eyes. They were so caring and understanding. How could I think that he could ever do that to someone?

" I know." He said pulling me up to stand. He picked my bag and took my hand. I walked to the car in silence contemplating whether Seth and the Pack could have done it. No. I'm not going to believe he's a murderer.

" Faye, speak. I'm really worried about you." Seth said, concern present in his voice.

" Did you attack those two people." I blurted out quickly. I put my hand to my mouth in shock. I wasn't supposed to say that. Crap! I wasn't thinking.

" What?! No, of course not. Remember, I'm a protector of the tribe. But we do think we know what's behind it." He said quietly.

I found my voice and started feeling really guilty. Of course I knew that Seth wouldn't harm anyone. What was I thinking? " I'm sorry Seth, I knew you wouldn't do that." I said quietly feeling like a shcmuck. " Anyway, what do you think did it?"

" A vampire, and not a vegetarian one." He spat out. " Sam's gone to visit the Cullen's to see if they know who it is. If not were going to have to hunt it down."

" ok." I squeaked, suddenly worried for the safety of my boyfriend. Ahh, I love being able to think that. We fell back into easy conversation the rest of the way to school. I nearly forgot about it. We held hands round the corridor but whenever we saw my sister in the hallway I would drop his hand and indicate in Haley's direction. The day passed slowly but the lesson that went fastest was maths where Seth would hold my hand under the table. I have a good life.

Sometimes I think I am dreaming. I mean, an amazingly hot guy likes me and is my boyfriend/soulmate, he is friends with vampires and to top it all of he is a werewolf. This doesn't happen. I have always wanted to belong in something mythical but I had dropped that dream at about the age of 10, what are the chances that I end up smack bang in the middle of one?!

" Faye, you okay?" Seth asked

" What? Oh me, yeah I'm good just away with the fairies there. My bad." I answered smiling looking into his eyes which like always were full of adoration. 'Sigh' I am one lucky girl. I then glanced down at his lunch tray, I still can't get over how much they eat, where do they stash all the food? It's ridiculous. I took a huge bite out of my cheeseburger because I hadn't had one in ages. This is awesome! I swallowed and looked up at Seth who was trying to hide his laughter from me.

" What?" I asked suddenly feeling self-conscious. He looked at me then down at the burger before smirking.

" They don't do these in English schools and the food here is actually nice. Sorry for wanting to divulge my self in it." I babbled and then blushed realising what a total idiot I sounded like. He just chuckled. As he was chuckling the queen bee of the Freshman's walked towards our table. Her name was Kerry Payton, I hate to admit it but she is stupidly pretty. She had shiny, thick and strait jet-black hair almost down to her waist. She had a perfect hourglass figure, which she flaunted every day with tight fitting shirts and very tight jeans. She had dark brown eyes and (probably with the help of lots of mascara and eyeliner) she had perfectly outlined eyes with thick and long lashes. Her lips were plump and when she smiled she revealed perfectly straight white pearly teeth. Her skin was flawless and she had high cheekbones that sharpened her face and made her look older than she was. I couldn't help but envy her as I saw every boy she walked past drool at her. I really don't like her.

" Hi Seth." she said sweetly batting her eyelashes at him and leaning forward pushing at her cleavage. " And ugh…you" she added barely acknowledging I was there. Scratch that… I hate her. Seth glanced at her and went back to staring at me.

" Hi Kerry." He muttered. She looked quickly at me and wrinkled her nose in disgust obviously noticing that Seth wasn't interested in her.

" Anyway Seth, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to Port Angeles at some point with me." She said looking at him like lion looks at its prey before pouncing. I clutched the table looking back to Seth to see his reaction.

" No thank you." He answered politely. He is always such a gentleman.

" What?" she asked obviously not used to rejection.

" No thank you." He repeated turning away from her to look back at me.

" Do you realise who I am?" she asked straightening up and glaring down at him.

" yep." He answered popping his mouth on the p. I giggled slightly at his casualness and she turned to glare at me. I shut up but still smiled.

" Well, why don't you come with me?" she asked anger plaguing her voice as she was shooting daggers at me through her eyes.

" Because I have a girlfriend who is amazing, sensitive, beautiful, shy, sarcastic and will have my heart forever." He said passion flaring through his facial expression. I felt tears prick in my eyes as he said that beautiful speech. He is amazingly corny and adorable. I blinked the tears away smiling at him. He is just too good to be true.

" Do you know how lucky you are that I'm even talking to you let alone asking you out?" she screeched in denial still trying to kill us with her eyes.

" No, and to be quite honest I don't care." He answered starting to get irritated. My smile grew but then faltered as i noticed the majority of the population in the cafeteria were watching the interaction between Seth and Kerry with anticipation.

" What?! What could this girl possibly have over me? How does it get better than this?" She said loudly gesturing to her self.

" Get over yourself." I muttered without thinking.

" What did you just say?" she said turning to face me. Crap. Bad idea Faye, bad idea. You know what, she needs to be told. Buck up Faye, do it. My conscience egged me on. " I said get over yourself." I answered boldly looking up into her face.

" this isn't any of your business what goes on between me and Seth." she answered

" Kerry." I said in a patronising voice. " When are you gonna get it into your head that there is no you and Seth? Is that to hard for your Amoeba like status to cope with." Where did this newfound confidence come from? It must be me getting protective of Seth. Not that he needs protecting but hey I might as well mark my territory.

" What the hell is an Amoeba?" she asked loudly stepping closer to my side of the table.

" It's a single celled organism with no brain or any other functions." I answered smirking at her. She raised her hand as if to hit me but retracted it.

" You little bitch, Seth when you come to your senses and end it with that girl come and find me and we might be able to salvage a relationship out of this." She waved her hand about.

" Not going to happen." He answered sincerely. " And don't ever call her a bitch again." He finished now glaring at her. I saw his right hand shaking slightly and reached discretely under the table to hold his left one and calm him down. He responded instantly to my touch. She grumbled something I didn't catch before storming out of the cafeteria followed by a gang of wannabe's.

I let go of his hand and stood up. " Where are you going?" he asked looking up into my face. I think this is one of the only situations he's going to have to look up to me.

" We" I said making sure he heard." Are going for a little walk." I answered as I started walking out of the cafeteria. He caught up with me in a matter of seconds and took my hand in his. I smiled at him before leading him through the deserted corridors outside into the drizzly rain.

" What are we doing out here?" he asked pulling me closer to him so I wouldn't get cold. I looked round to check that no one was there before answering.

" This." I answered before putting both arms round his neck and pulling him in for a kiss. My hands knotted themselves in his hair and his arms were tightly round my waist. This is bliss. He deepened the kiss but hell I didn't mind. We pulled apart and I could barely breath. I was dizzy. Seth pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead.

" What happened to shy Faye?" he asked with a chuckle on the end.

" Well she was pissed of by Kerry so she became pissed off and agitated Faye." I answered pulling back slightly to look up into his face. I blushed and looked back down. Well damn, seems like shy Faye is back.

" Well pissed off and agitated Faye can kick ass." He said, I started laughing and so did he. We were interrupted by a very jittery looking Embry.

" Seth, we need to go. Did you not hear the call?" he asked tugging on Seth's arm " they've found them. It has reinforcements." Seth shook his head and turned to look at me.

" I need to go but Emily will pick you up from school and take you back to their house." He said looking resentful.

" But what about…"

" She'll clear it with your parents and sister." He said with a small smile breaking onto his face.

" Okay." I answered looking into his mesmerising eyes." You know me far too well." I said laughing quietly whilst dropping my gaze from his face to the floor.

" I will see you and Sam and Emily's later." He said closing the difference between us and placing a sweet kiss upon my lips.

" Promise?" I asked suddenly feeling anxiety taking over my body.

" promise he confirmed before hugging me tightly and kissing my cheek. He turned and started walking towards the woods.

" Seth!" I called out he turned round looking pained. " You have my heart too!" he looked ecstatic and started walking back towards me but Embry grabbed his arm and tugged into the forest where I watched them both disappear.

The bell went signalling I had to go to English. I walked into English in a daze and sat next to Courtney.

" Hey Faye." She said, " I heard you stood up to the resident Freshman Queen bee." She stated

" Oh yeah." I said snapping out of my Seth induced daze, " I told her to get over herself."

" Wow!" she said exhaling heavily. " I've never seen that happen to her before and I've been in her classes since Kindergarten. It's spread round the whole school so soon you'll probably have a nickname from it." A couple more people entered the room and they all walked past my table patting my back in appreciation and praise. 'Great' I have made an enemy of the most popular girl in my year. Well done Faye, well done. The rest of English was pretty easy, it only required a little attention.

I walked to Gym and had random people I didn't know yet cheer my name in the corridor. Other people looked and pointed at me saying ' there's the girl that owned Kerry.' And ' I saw the whole thing, she whooped Kerry's ass!' I smiled at some of them but it made me feel uncomfortable at the same time like my little bubble of isolation has been broken and everyone now knows who I am. Haley's gonna hear all about this and demand details. Damn it! Just when my life was getting great!

I walked into the gym and towards the cloakroom and Briony and Mia ran full speed to me and hugged me. " We heard that you took down the female dog." Briony said smiling hugely.

" Yeah, you're the biggest news of the day. The great victor who managed to over come The Kerry!" she said boisterously.

" Yeah, what you heard is right." I mumbled waking into the changing room followed closely by Briony and Mia.

"Well what did she do?" Briony asked sitting down on the bench and patting the seat next to her. I rolled my eyes and giggled. I sat down next to her and answered.

" She pissed me off." I answered

" Yeah but doing what?" Mia asked eagerly. I giggled again before continuing. Well it kinda feels good to be the first person to stand up to her properly.

" Well she was talking to Seth in the year above saying stuff like do you know who I am? And was saying that she was lucky to have her attention and I just said get over yourself and then called her an Amoeba." I finished smiling.

" Wow" Briony said smiling like a crazy person

" Ditto." Mia added giggling. " I would've loved to see her face." We continued giggling and went through the Gym lesson constantly insulting her.

When Gym finished I changed and freshened up quickly wanting to see Emily and get a pack update. I walked outside and saw Emily in the parking lot in an old beat up blue ford truck. I liked it though. It had character.

" Hey Emily." I said as I climbed into the passenger seat.

" Hey, how was school?" she asked while starting the truck and pulling out of the parking lot.

" Same old." I answered suddenly noticing the seriousness of the situation with the wolves. " Any update on the pack?" I asked sounding desperate but at this point I didn't care because I knew I was.

" Not yet." She muttered pulling up in front a small but beautiful house. I was painted baby blue and had white window frames with plants in. the garden had a small collection of sweet scented flowers. This looks fairytalish. " Your house is beautiful." I practically whispered.

" Thank you." She said before opening her car door. I followed suit and got out of the car and entered the house. I walked into what I'm guessing is the living room to see Kim, Nessie and another girl I didn't know sitting on one of the sofa's.

" Guys, you remember Faye. Apart from Rachel." She said pointing towards the girl I didn't recognise. " This is Rachel, Paul's imprint." Rachel stood up and I noticed she was beautiful." And also Jake's Sister." She stood up and pulled me into a hug.

" Sorry I wasn't there to meet you at the bonfire. I was ill and I had to order Paul to go." She said as she pulled away.

" No worries, anyway. Nice to meet you now." I answered. " what do you guys do whilst waiting for them I mean, to occupy yourselves?

" Well usually we do something with our hands to keep ourselves busy and that thing is usually baking." Emily answered a smile gracing the non-mauled side of her face. Even with the scars she was still beautiful.

" Well, lets go bake." I said following Emily and the others into the kitchen. I needed a distraction. I hope he doesn't do anything reckless.

That's chapter 10 guys. Now please don't be upset by it but I won't be able to update for about 5 days but will do it as quick as I can then.

Love you all and review please as I need advice!

Thanks Lennie x
