HANNAHS POV

As the school came to view, I had just had about enough of Emmett by now. The whole ride to school, he had been picking at me about Seth.

"So Hannah, does this mean you will be committing beastiality? That you will be taking doggy style literally?" he asked.

I glared at him, my face crimson, not in embarrassment, but in anger.

"Emmett, shut the fuck up!"

"Hey hey hey, this isn't French class, watch that language." He said smiling.

"Seth's not my boyfriend!" I said to him, as I turned into the schools parking lot.

There were kids already parked, some sitting on the hood of their cars, some just walking around.

"No, but he will soon be your husband." Emmett teased. "What was that, that mom said? He's your soul mate. Bahahahaha! You can't even date a real guy, you have to date your dog!" Emmett couldn't stop laughing.

"That's it! You want French? Va bouffer ta merde, bouffon!" I said to him in French. I took my seat belt off, leaning to my side so I could raise my legs. I kicked him in the side so hard, even the car rocked as he smacked into the door. I heard him moan, as I had blown some of the air from lungs out.

"HANNAH!" he screamed after me.

"Leave me alone Emmett. Just leave me alone!"

Some of the kids in the parking lot, stared at me as I slammed my cars door, and stormed past the school, to the woods. I hadn't even cared if I had hurt Emmett, or if I had perhaps damaged the car. I just couldn't take him making fun of me.

Why didn't he understand that, this was all too much for me, and that his pesting was not something I needed.

I started to run, crying in the process.

"Hannah wait!" I heard Emmett say.

"Leave me alone Emmett!" I said still running.

"Hannah wait, its me, Paul!"

I turned over my shoulder, and saw Paul running after me.

I had forgot we agreed to meet up today. I screamed loudly, and ran faster. It was him. It was one of them.

"Wait Hannah, why are you running away from me?" he asked.

I looked over my shoulder, he was closer. My heart was pounding even faster, then from just the running.

I tried running as fast as I could, but I knew he would catch up.

I screamed loudly as he wrapped his arms around me, and lifted me off my feet.

"Let me go!" I said crying. I tried getting away from his grip. I kicked at the air, and clawed at it, before I grabbed at his hair and pulled, yanking hard.

"Ooow, whats your problem?" he asked.

He finally let go of me, I quickly ran against a tree, and stared at him.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked. He took a step forward.

"You stay away! I know what you are! I know what you did to my family!" I said.

He stopped in his tracks and stared at me.

"Hannah.. I can explain."

"You're a murderer!" I warned. "You killed my family!"

I don't know what got in me, first I was running away from him, and now I was running at him. Pounding at his chest, with my fists.

He grunted each time my hands made strong impacts at him, but he stood there, taking it.

When I felt I had tired myself out, I let myself fall to the ground crying

He got down on his knees and tried hugging me, but I kept pushing him away.

"Hannah, please let me explain." He said.

"Explain what? That you're my enemy? That this is all a way to kill me? If you want to do it so bad, then do it. Do it now! You have me alone out here. DO IT!" I urged at him. I punched his chest again.

He grabbed my hand and hugged me hard, not letting go, even when I slapped him with my free hand.

"Listen to me! Yes, yes I was created to kill things like you, things like your family. But I never knew I could like someone like you. I don't know who told you about your family, but I had to do it Hannah. I had to do it, it was orders from my alpha. Its like denying something your parents ask you to do." He said.

"If my parents told me to commit murder, I wouldn't do it!" I said.

"Are you sure about that?" he asked.

I stopped struggling, and stood quiet. The honest truth was, I probably would be willing to kill someone for my family.

Had Paul been saying the truth? Did he really actually like me? I was still alive, he still hadn't even tried killing me.

He loosened his grip, and turned me so I could face him.

"Hannah, I don't know how it happened, but you got to me, you have me wrapped around your little finger, like a lace." He said.

"How do I know that's true? How do I know if this isn't all a trap?" I asked him.

"Don't you feel it? Didn't you feel it when I kissed you? When I held you? When you showed me your true self?" he asked me.

My true self? I repeated in my head.

"Will you show me your true self?" I asked him.

He backed away from me.

"Hannah…"

I sighed loudly, as I knew he was trying to say no.

"I let you see me!" I said.

"But that's different, I could kill you." He said.

"I could have too!"

He looked away, and took a few steps back. He started to take off his shirt.

"What are you doing?" I asked. Was he getting naked?

"I can't just phase in my clothes, they will rip apart, then how will I ever walk out of here?" he said tossing his shirt off to the side, he kicked off his shoes, and started to unbutton his jeans.

I looked away quickly. Not knowing what to do.

"Don't be afraid." He said.

"I'm not."

"Then why are you looking away?" he asked.

"Because you're getting naked."

"Then don't look down, just keep your eyes on mine. I don't want you to miss a single second."

I turned to look at him, and kept my eyes on his, he dropped his jeans off and kicked his boxers off along with them.

Don't look down, don't look down Hannah, don't look down I chanted to myself.

Tilting his head down, giving me this look that anyone could easily confuse as seduction.

He cracked his neck, and began leaning forward, as if hunching. His head began to enlarge, his mouth and chin pointing out, turning into a muzzle. His ears began to rise from the side of his head, to the top, becoming pointy. Shoulders began to widen, his skin erupted with gray fur. His hands turned into large paws, with sharp dark claws.

As he let his body fall, so he could stand on all four, his heavy paws made a loud impact to the ground. He stared at me.

I stared at him indifferent. Not knowing if I should be afraid, or fascinated.

I took a step forward, causing Paul to take a step back. I smiled at him, reaching my hand out, before taking a step forward again. "I'm not afraid."

I went up to him and pet the spot in between his eyes, on his nose. He reminded me of Seth, only larger, and darker.

His hind leg began to tap rapidly. I giggled. "You like that?" I asked him.

He pulled his head away, and before my eyes, was back to his human self… his human naked self, luckily he was still on all four, so I didn't see his hoo haa, but I got a good glimpse of his butt.

"I'm not a dog." He said sitting with his legs crossed, Indian style.

I looked away. "I'm sorry… would it hurt to put some clothes on?" I asked him.

I could hear him smirk, as his throat made the confirming noise.

"Your so innocent, it reminds me so much of Seth." He said.

I didn't care if he was still naked, I didn't care if I might see him naked frontel view, but when he said Seths name, I turned to look at him.

"Seth? My little Seth?" I asked.

"Uh… no, this is another Seth… he died long ago." He said.

"No, I know its my little Seth, because he told me himself, that you're his brother. He doesn't know I talk to you, but I know it's the same Seth." I said to him.

"… what do you mean he told you?" he asked, as he put on his boxers on first. I finally became aware again of his nudeness, and looked away.

"I know he's one of your kind, a shape shifter. My mom told me a little as to why he became what he was, but they only told me so little." I said

"But what do you mean by 'he told me himself?' You can talk to animals?" he asked.

"Talk to animals?" I thought about it for a moment, and realized he must think its my ability. I laughed musically, much like my mom did. Even the sound of it, sounded foreign to me.

"I can't talk to animals, if that's what you mean. He was trapped as a little wolf, or something like that, but now he's back." I finished smiling.

"… he's… he's back?" he asked shocked.
"Yep! Last night, gave me a real scare, but he's really nice." I said.

SETHS POV

I tried my hardest to settle down, but I couldn't I was bored, I was restless, and I was curious none the less.

"So tell me again about Hannah. What's she like? What's her favorite color? What's her favorite type of music? Does she have a boyfriend?" I asked the last question harshly.

Edward laughed.

"Calm down Seth." Bella said smiling. She sat down next to me on Hannah's bed, and took my hand into hers.

"Hannah, is a very intelligent, intellectual, strong, well rounded, sensitive girl. She likes just about every color, and just like her brother, she enjoys listening to noise… which they claim is music. And easy there, she doesn't have a boyfriend. This is actually her first year in a school with other boys. If anything, besides her family, you were the only guy she ever spoke to." Bella said.

I felt at ease hearing she had no boyfriend, and I would be well aware to keep it that way.

Edward must have heard my thoughts, because he laughed once again.

"Are you planning on asking her to be your girlfriend?" Bella asked me.

I exchanged glances from her to Edward. Scratching the back on my head uncomfortably.

"Well… I haven't thought of that yet. I mean I love her, and you know how I feel about her is real, and you know I will respect her, and.. and… yes." I finally said. I let my head drop, but continued to glimpse a both of them.

Edward crossed his arms together, and cocked his eyebrow.

"Well before you do, there's one thing I would like to talk to you about." He said.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Abstinence." Edward said.

"Edward! Okaaaay!" Bella said embarrassed. She got up, and started pushing Edward out Hannah's room.
"Abstinence?" I asked confused. What was that?

"Don't worry about it Seth, I know you will be a fine and respectful young man.. oh that's so odd to say since your older then us by appearance… not that I'm saying your old! And not that I'm saying, I would like my baby girl to have unabstinent thoughts…you know what? We'll just let you be." She said pushing Edward out the room with her.

I stared at the now closed door confused.

"What was that about?" I asked myself.

I stood up and looked around the room, I went to her closet, and decided to see what sort of clothes she liked to wear, what sort of style she had.

There was a lot of black if anything. I flipped through the shirts, and noticed a lot of tiny shirts with bands she liked… so I figure. I did not recognize a single one of them. "Iron… Maiden?" I read one slowly.

I shrugged to myself, and moved to her dresser, I looked at myself in the mirror. I was looking much better. I flexed, and noticed I had plumped up some what.

I looked down at the things she had on her dressers top. She had paint brushes I had never seen before, all of different sizes, with the word M.A.C on the sides. Close to them, she had small little circle like containers, with colored like powders. (A/N: Makeup bruhes, and eyeshadow) Cool she's an artist, yet there were no paintings, any where in her room.

I continued walking around the room, brushing my fingers against her huge television screen, until I got to her book shelf. I looked through her books, and noticed a dictionary.

I pulled it out and started opening it. "Abstinence." I said as I looked through the A's. It took me a moment to find the word, since I had never heard it before. I finally found one, that looked much like the way it sounded.

I stared at the words, trying to read each one, one bye one. It had been so long since I last read. After some time, this is what I managed to get.

"Abstinence- The act or practice of refraining from indulging an appetite or desire, especially for alcoholic drink or… sexual intercourse…"

I shut the book with one hand, and ran my hand through my hair. If I had read it right…. "Oh god. How embarrassing."

HANNAHS POV

I tried to kick at Pauls foot with mine, as we sat against a tree next to each other, our legs stretched out straight in front of us. But considering I was much shorter then him, it resulted in me kicking his leg.

"So why were you running?" he asked.

"I was angry." I said.

"Obviously, but why?" he asked, he grabbed my hand, and sandwiched it, between his hands.

"My brother was making fun of me, he was picking on me about Seth." I said.

"Oh?" Paul said it in a question.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said, trying to change the conversation. I wasn't sure if I should tell him about Seth imprinting on me.

"Whats he like now?" Paul asked.

"I couldn't tell you how he is now, because I don't know how he was then. I don't know if he has changed. I can tell you that he is a very sweet and caring guy. Very warming and comforting." I said.

"I'm a nice guy too." He looked at me, I noticed a hint of jealousy in his voice.

"How would I know? I'm just getting to know you better now." I said to him.

"Well maybe you should get to know me more better." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

He started to trail his fingers on the veins of my hand, he shrugged.

"I mean.. would you like to be my girl?" he asked.

"Your girl?" I repeated.

"Yeah… you know… my girlfriend."

I smiled and bite down on my lip. "Really?" I asked.

"I've never had a girlfriend before… but yeah.. yeah really." He said smiling to me.

"Well.. to be honest, this is all happening too fast… do I have to answer it now?" I asked.

"Well… no." he said. I could tell he thought I would immediately say yes.

I looked down at my wrist watch and stood up. "I have class with my brother in fifteen minutes… I really have to get going now. If he notices me missing, he will come looking for me." I said.

He got up to his feet and hugged me hard. I knew he wasn't afraid he could hurt me with his strength, he knew I was more then capable of handling it.

"Think about it?" he asked.

"I will." I said hugging him back.

It didn't take me long to get back to the school. Just before class, I managed to run into the bathroom and retouch my makeup.

As I entered my Drama class, I quickly found a seat close to the back, and waited until the bell would ring.

"I'm sorry."

I looked over my shoulder and found Emmett looking down on me.

He had a huge bruise on the side of his face, running from the right side of his eye, to his chin.

"Oh my god!" I said standing up, I started to check the bruise I had left him with.

"Did I really do that?" I asked, suddenly feeling very guilty.

He smiled sadly. "Yeah. And this." He pulled up his shirt, showing me a darker bruise on the side of his waist.

I noticed a few of the students coming in staring at Emmett.

"Yo Cullen! What happened to your face?" a Senior I had seen, but never talked to asked. He looked like one of those typical big football players, who knew every girl wanted him. But he was wrong, because I didn't.

"Your moms leg lock is much more stronger then I thought, last time I ever try to go down on her!" Emmett said loudly.

"Oh my god!" I said loudly, I couldn't believe he had just said that. I tried so hard not to laugh.

The Senior began to huff before launching himself at Emmett. Emmett moved out the way, and let the guy smack straight into the wall. The other kids gasped, some laughed.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" others chanted.

"Jesus, slow down mom." I said as I pushed the cars speed up to 80 mph.

"She's really letting him have it huh?" my dad asked me, from the passenger seat.

After the fight, that was quickly broken apart, after Emmett smacked the guy- who I found out is named Landon- with a chair. Our parents were called for us. Yes US, I was trying to break the fight up, but instead was accused of being involved.

Luckily the bruise on Emmetts face wasn't severe anymore, so my parents didn't ask anything about it. I assumed they must have thought it was from the fight.

"Just look at how fast she's going for the first time ever. And look at her hands, she's practically making up her own sign language in there."

I was driving my dads car, and my mom had decided to take my car, because she was used to it more. Emmett was with her.

"Why did the fight even start?" my dad asked.

"Landon is a jerk." That was all I said.

We continued to drive in silence, watching my mothers continue to fling her arms about, as she scold Emmett.

"Hannah, theres something I need to talk to you about." He said.

Oh god… the talk? I thought to myself.

"Um.. yeah sure dad, what's up?"

"Do you feel like your in love with Seth?" he asked.

I thought about my response for a moment, before shaking my head.

"No… not in love.. not exactly. I mean I love him as a friend, I really care about him, because I grew up with him at my side… but that's all… why do you ask?"

"Its natural for you to feel like that. An imprint sometimes see's their mate as a brother first, or a friend, until it grows into true love." He said.

But I think I love Paul. I said in my head.

"Dad… how did you know you were in love with mom?" I asked.

From the corner of my eye, I saw him turn to me.

"I felt completely consumed by her. No matter how hard I tried not to think about her, she just continued to draw me in. I really think it started off as a curiosity, I didn't understand why I couldn't hear her thoughts. So it made her mysterious to me, she was like a hard puzzle piece, I wanted to solve. Before I knew it, she had become curious of me too, and little by little I dared to get close to her. Until she figured out what I was. The rest leads to now." He said.

"But I mean… how did you know, you wanted her to be with you forever? What made you turn her into a vampire?" I asked him.

He stood quiet.

I watched as my mother swirved sharply to the right, into the woods, towards the house. I turned my turning signal, out of habit, and followed behind her.

"Well?" I asked him.

"You know how your mother feels about us talking, about the past." He said.

"But why? Why can't you talk about it? What are you hiding? What else are you hiding?" I asked.

My mother had already parked the car, I watched as she pulled Emmett by the ear, into the house.

As soon as I parked the car, next to my car. My dad got out the car quickly, not even turning to look at me.

I turned the engine off, and quickly got out the car. "Dad wait!" I said calling after him. Had I said something wrong?

He turned around from the door way and smiled at me. "Seths waiting for you up stairs." He stepped inside, leaving the door open.

I followed behind, entering the house, to my mother explaining to my aunt and grandfather, what had happened.

I rolled my eyes, and decided to head up to my room.

Just before I could even reach the door, it swung open.

"Your home!" Seth exclaimed, smothering me into an embrace, that left me breathless. And not in a good way. I literally couldn't breath, as my face pan caked into his chest.

"Seff, I ant breff." I heard my muffled words.

"What?" he asked. Letting go of me. I gasped for air.

"I said, I couldn't breath." I walked past him, and into my room. Tossing my keys and book bag on to the floor, next to my door.

"How was school? Did you do your math homework?" he asked.

"Don't even ask, we got pulled out of class because of a fight Emmett and "I" was in, so mom and dad had to go get us early." I said jumping on to the bed.

"You mean, your away longer at school?" he asked.

"Seth, School runs until 2:30." I said. I hadn't bothered looking at him, until now. And was shocked that this was the same Seth from last night, the same Seth from this morning. He looked… good. And I thought Paul was hot.

He looked at me expressionless.

"You don't know how to tell time?" I asked him, trying to make sure, he didn't know I was checking him out.

"Its.. been so long." He said embarrassed.

I sat up and patted the spot next to my bed. "Come here, I'll show you."

He smiled, and sat down next to me, the spot he sat on, sunk down, with his weight. Causing the spot I was on to rise up.

"Whoa." I said, as I was now the same height as him.

"Hey you grew." He said laughing.

I smiled, before showing him my wristwatch. "Okay so you see the line moving around?" I said.

"Yeah."

"That's the seconds, there are sixty seconds in a minute, just like there are sixty minutes in an hour. Now that little line, that not moving. That stands for the hour, as the longer one right there, stands for the minutes." I said.

I looked up at him, and he studied my wristwatch. The confused expression on his face, made him so cute. I studied his face for a moment, he was actually really good looking. It had only been one day since his return… and I wondered if it meant he would keep getting… hotter.

He looked at me, and smiled. "What?"

"You're looking much better." I said.

"You really think so?" he asked. I noticed him get closer to me.

"…Yeah." I said in a whisper.

He looked at my lips, before closing his eyes and kissing me.

PAULS POV

As I ran the rest of the way on foot, to Jacobs house, I found the pack all phased, formed in a little group. They were having a meeting.

"Jake!"

As I called out for him, he phased back and walked over to me.

"What going on?" I asked, as I stopped jogging.

"Last night, I thought I felt the new shape shifter. But I wasn't sure. Today I woke up, and knew that I was right. I'm talking to the guys, I sense him or her past the territory line." He said.

"Past the territory line? As in… where the leeches are?" I asked.

"Yes, so we need to find him first, before the leeches do"

I thought about it for a moment, before it hit me. Seth.. he sensed Seth.

"Jake I know who it is." I said.

"What? And why didn't you tell me?"

"It's Seth."

"What do you mean its Seth?" he asked confused. Embry joined us, standing next to him.

"Seth? Seth is back?" Embry asked.

"Who's Seth?" John asked.

I ignored him. "Hannah, told me last night, that he came back."

"You mean.. she knows about us?" Jacob asked.

"She eventually would have. I'm actually surprised her parents didn't tell her sooner." I said.

Jake stood quiet, staring at the grass. I could tell Embry was burning with questions, but he dared not ask. At least not in front of Jacob.

Jacob made a noise, as he sucked on his bottom lip.

"Seths back." He said grinning. "Seths back!"
