Its been so long.
Sorry.
I had this other thing that was really important to me. :P
"Who is she?"
"None of your business." Seth let go of Cassie and turned to run after Skye.
"Seth," Her voice was dipped in pain. "I thought you… Loved me…"
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" He ran before she could say anything more. He cursed himself as he heard the quiet sobs fade into the slamming of his heart.
"Skye!" No matter how many times he called, only the soft forest sounds replied. He ran like a mad man, because he was. He searched like a mad man, because he was. He loved her because he was a mad man.
Then he saw her.
She was curled up at the top of the cliff, weeping. Seth felt a knife penetrate his heart. A rough, dirty, jagged knife, sawing. In. Out. In, and out once more.
He hurt her.
He made her cry.
His whole world crashed landed in front of his eyes.
What has he done?
All of a sudden he saw Reneesme. He saw her push Skye off of the cliff.
Seth immediately burst out of his clothes; the quiet flame that lay in his centre roared, violently qrowing at such a speed. He rushed at Reneesme, knocking her down and out. He dove after Skye, falling fast. Seth hugged her petite frame to his huge, furry wolf form; creating a protective cage.
They hit the water.
The water was cold; Seth couldn't feel it, but he knew it was. He tried to keep her warm, keep her breathing, as he struggled to swim in his wolf body. When he laid her down on the grass, he realized his efforts were a waste.
She was shivering violently and Seth didn't see her shoulders move up and down in the regular rhythm. He phased back and covered himself. Is she going to die?
"Seth!" Brady ran over to him. "What happ-"
"On the top of the cliff, there is a vamp. Bring it to Sam." Seth never took his eyes off of Skye as he said this with clenched teeth.
Brady took off like a bullet.
CPR…CPR… Seth hesitantly lowered his mouth to hers.
The second before they were about to meet, she awoke. Her eyes were wide as she tried to breathe. Seth moved back awkwardly as Skye coughed out all of the water. When she did, she crawled over to Seth. Stopping right in front of him.
"W-w-w-who is-is sh-she?" She was shivering even harder now, but not because she was cold.
Seth held out his hands, inviting her to his never ending warmth. She stayed put with a broken expression on her face. "Cassie Little. She sits behind me in math class. She had a crush on me, that's how she wanted to show me."
"Y-you were k-k-kissing her b-back."
"Didn't want to be mean." He lied.
"D-don't you l-lie t-t-to me." She snapped.
"Honestly, I don't think you'll like the truth."
"... T-tell me th-this. D-d-do you love her?"
"Why would it matter?" He said with an edge to his voice.
Skye was too fatigued to fight back. She needed a friend. A friend who doesn't push you off of a cliff. A friend who will hold you and tell you to cry all you want. Who will make you laugh when you cry. Make you make when your hurt.
She needed Seth.
Skye crawled over to Seth and snuggled into his arms. She immediately fell into a deep slumber.
"I don't." He whispered. "I love you."
The pale white beauty lay motionless.
"It… can't be…"Jacob exclaimed in a pained tone.
"… I'm sorry, bro." Sam patted his back.
"Someone go call the Cullens. They have some explaining to do." Embry told the rest of the group.
Everyone was present. Brady, excited he did something right. Jake, upset at what was plainly seen in front of him. Sue, shocked speechless. Leah, trying to understand what was going on. Quil and Collin, excited that there might be a fight between them and the vampires. Embry, worried for Skye, but her didn't want to hurt Reneesme.
One boy, sat in the corner, huddled and afraid. Afraid for the girl he loves. Afraid that he hurt her. Afraid she hated him.
He held her gently, protectively. He didn't let anyone touch her; for the time being he was hers. He could freely express his concern without being afraid of what he was feeling.
"They said she's there." Paul said, returning from the kitchen.
"But, she…huh?" Quil whimpered, trying to make sense of the situation.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. A moment later, Reneesme walked in. Everyone's jaw droped as their gazes switched between the mysterious vampire and Reneesme.
"Jakey?... What's going…" Her eyes fell on the vampire. She screamed. "She-she-she!"
"Which one is real?" Quil asked. Everyone glared at him. "W-what?" He whimpered.
"Quil…" Leah sighed.
"Keep them apart." Jake growled.
Reneesme moved as far away from her perfect replica.
"They…" Embry sniffed. "They smell different. This one," He pointed to the unconscious one. "Smells like the vamp that attacked Skye a few days ago."
Suddenly, Jasper was in the room. He looked around, nodded at Reneesme and turned to the pack.
"I know what's happening." Jasper stated gravely. "Today me and Carlisle were entertaining the idea of DNA mutation…"
