Sorrysorrysorry for the long wait! I had this chapter ready a while ago, but I didn't like some parts of it, so I had to make some changes and well, it took a while.. But its here now yay!

Disclaimer: I always forget to write the disclaimer, but yeah, I don't own twilight or anything, just the parts and characters you don't recognize and the plot of this story. I'd love to own twilight, though. Especially the wolfies.


Chapter ten

''So.. you are not dating Clearwater?'' Joan confirmed. I felt the sudden urge to smash my head to a brickwall. Since when, exactly, have I talked to Joan?

No, since when has Joan talked to me? Since she smelled a great gossip. That's when.

''No. I'm telling you. I am not dating Seth. And I plan not to.'' I groaned. She studied me, trying to figure out if I'm telling the truth. Come on, she asked me like five times already.

''Well... why not?''

I facepalmed. Like I would open up to HER about this. This must be the second time in my sixteen years when we share a conversation.

''Don't you have somewhere to go?'' I snapped.

She looked shocked, but stood up and left me alone. ''Bitch'', she mumbled as she made her way to the rest of her possé.

''I've been getting that a lot lately.'' I mumbled.

''Gee, I wonder why?'' Hayley said her voice poisonous with sarcasm, as she walked past me and to the table she shared with her friends. I was a bit interested in her. She was part of the pack now, but she hasn't left her old life behind. Sam must be thrilled.

I've never actually noticed Hayley before, she's one year younger than me, but now when I've noticed her, I can't help wondering how I've missed her existence. She's.. well, loud.

Lunch has become the worst part of my day. Hayley is always glaring me, so is Paul, Collin and Brady. Seth just looks sad. And now Joan is talking me.

Seth looks like he's doing pretty well. He doesn't have his signature smile on his face, but other than that, I think he'll get over me.

Okay, he will not. I wonder if it possible for him to get a new imprint when I die. If I die. Gosh, I sound like I have already given up on myself.


I've been slacking this week. I can't seem to concentrate. So, after two hours of completely wasting my time at the gym, I gave up and decided to head home.

I have dreams again. The ones where spirits are trying to tell me something. I haven't slept well in a week. And when I'm awake, I can't put my mind into anything. I sighed. This imprinting-thing sucks. I miss Seth. My body feels hollow and wrong and my mind is a mess. I don't know if I miss him or is it the imprinting that misses him. I don't know if it makes any difference.

Almost home.

''Alexis.''

I turned around quickly. Seth stood on the road behind me. His voice was different. And he was wearing a hoodie!

''I need to talk to you.'' He said, when he realized I wasn't going to say anything. I turned around and continued walking. ''I have nothing to say, Seth.''

He only needed to take couple of steps and he was standing before me.

''NO. You might not have anything to say, But I do.''

Our eyes met. I shocked. His eyes.. Anger. He was angry. How can he be angry with me? Isn't it impossible or something? I thought he couldn't be angry with his imprint. Well, I guess I was wrong.

I tried to get past him, but he didn't let me. From the close, he did look different. Devastated. His skin was paler and he looked sick.

''What?'' I snapped.

''I don't know what's going on, but I want us to be friends again!'' He almost yelled. I just glared at him, but stayed still.

''I don't know what you saw in the forest but please let me explain everything! You don't need to afraid.'' He almost begged.

''I'm not afraid. I've already said that I'm not. I have no reason to be afraid of all of you.'' I spit out.

''Then what the fuck is going on?''

My jaw dropped a bit. Seth Clearwater swearing?

''You shouldn't swear. It doesn't fit you.''

''I don't care about swearing, Alexis. Can't we be friends again? I miss you.'' He whispered and dropped his head.

''No.'' I said. I tried to sound as strong as I could, but the word choked on my throat.

''Can you please explain what the hell is going on with you, Alexis? I know you miss me too. You have to.'' I flinched a bit when our eyes met. He was determined to make me his.

''Nothing. This is me! I'm doing what I do, what I'm supposed to do. You guys might think I'm a bitch but you don't know a half of it. This is me, Seth and you and your friends just have to go with it.'' I was yelling, which wasn't like me. I didn't even realize raising my voice, but he was just so goddamn stubborn and it annoyed me. And it made me happy at the same time. I actually liked that he wanted to be with me, even thought I couldn't be with him. I'm twisted.

I tried to make him move to the side, but he stood still.

''I know that you are stubborn and independent and what ever but you also are kind and fun and you liked spending time with me. That wasn't an act. And I can see you're suffering too from this! Just talk to me, Alexis and we'll figure this mess out.''

''See ya around, Clearwater.'' I sighed and went past him, walking faster. He let me go.

Stupid Seth. Since when was he smart?

Hayley pov

This shit is weird.

I feel personally responsible for bringing this mess on the pack. I attacked Alexis and that's why this is going on. And I really want to fix it. It seems like impossible, though, Alexis being hard to get.

Being responsible isn't the only reason to figure this mess out. The others wont believe me, but I know I didn't stop myself in the forest. Alexis did something, and I want to know what.

Seth was a mess. It makes me a bit scared. I imprinted on Embry. That could happen to me too. Honestly, I think it made all of us scared. From what I've already picked up, imprinting was this awesome thing with finding your soul mate but it also could break you. Its our strength but it definitely also something that can easily break us.

Like being a teenage girl wasn't sucky enough.

Seth didn't speak much, and I've seen him at school and I know that's def not like him. He can't eat and it seems like he couldn't sleep either. This shit turned him into a total zombie. And I'm pretty sure that if this keeps up, he'll end up in a coma.

I sighed and closed my math book. Who needs math anyways? Definitely not a person who can turn into a wolf.

Alexis pov

I was standing in a clearing. There was snow on the ground and and the spirits were whispering. Suddenly, someone walked from the shadows. My heartbeat went rigid. Black hair, pale skin and blood-red eyes. He was wearing a long, black gown. Aro.

''I was looking for you.'' He smiled. ''You are going to be a great part of my collection.''

The spirits were still whispering and I turned around.

A wolf walked to the clearing. It kept it's eyes on me. Aro disappeared in to thin air.
I turned my head back to the wolf. It wasn't from the pack. It was bigger one with brown fur. His eyes weren't wolfs eyes. It had human eyes. Taha Aki.

He walked right next to me and circlet around me, keeping his eyes on mine.

Spirits were whispering and suddenly the clearing was full of Quileute women. The women just stood there and I felt their power. My ancestors. I found it fascinating that even though they were pure quileute and from centuries way before me, we shared some same features. Same round eyes and same small lips. Some looked more like me than the others.

One took a step forward. Taha Aki was standing next to me and he nodded slightly to the woman.

I looked at her. Her features were more defined and her hair fell straight to her elbows. She was taller than me and something about her just was.. dignified. She studied me, but smiled.

I gasped. The first wife.

She took steps and placed her hand on my cheek. ''My child.'' She spoke and the spirits whispered her words with her.

''Love is part of us. Part of 's what makes us strong. It was the love Taha Aki felt towards his tribe that made his shifting possible. Love made the third wifes sacrifice possible. And love would make you stronger, my child. You are my progeny. And with the trouble coming this way, you will need all the power you can get'', She whispered and kissed my forehead.

I opened my eyes. My heart was racing again. What was that?

I gasped.

''GRAMS!'' I yelled from the top of my lungs trying to get myself from the bed.

She met me halfway in the stairs.

''What?''

I didn't answer. I just grabbed her hand and closed my eyes, letting the dream flew back to my mind.


''So, are you still going to be stubborn and avoid the shape shifters?'' Grams gave me a mug full of tea.

I bit my lip.

She sighed. ''For gods sake, Alexis. I really don't understand from whom you inherited that thick head of yours.''

''You, obviously. But me being with Seth is practically impossible! Wolf-blood and witch-blood don't mix. Mom proved that already, and look what happened.''

''That's it. You can't always pin this on her story. '' Grams slammed her fist on the table. My tea splattered. ''I forbid it. You are the progeny of the first wife, and she herself tries to point you to the right direction. The spirits speak in riddles, but because of your stubbornness our ancestors are willing to tell you face to face what to do and you still resist. I'm making you go the right way.'' She stood up.

I sighed. I felt lost. It was becoming clearer what to do, but I didn't want to. Not fully, at least.

The kitchen radio started playing. I glanced towards it.

I just don't know what to do

I'm too afraid to love you

I sighed again.


Hayley pov

I knocked at the door and to my surprise, Alexis opened it. I was preparing myself with an awkward conversation with her grams first. She raised her eyebrows and she had to look up to meet my eyes. She was so short.

''What do you want?''

I rolled my eyes. ''I want you to get over your bitchiness and admit that you like Seth and I would really like to know what you did at the forest and while we're at it, I'd really like my younger brothers to leave me alone.'' I said dryly, crossing my hands on my chest.

''Well, you can't always get what you want. I can't help you. Anything else?''

''What the hell is your problem? I'm sorry for..'' Sam had denied me from telling her about our secret, ''what ever happened.''

She raised her eyebrows again but nodded.

''I'm not blaming you. But I can't help you with your problems.'' She tried to shut the door but I slammed my hand to the door and stopped her. She tensed.

''I'd let go if I was you,'' she raised her eyes and I got goosebumps on my back, ''or I'll make you.''

Her eyes were suddenly darker brown and she looked just the same as in the forest. She frightened me, but I didn't show it. I let go of the door and walked away.

''Get your shit together, Oakhill!'' I yelled at her, not looking back.


Alexis

''I have a task for you.'' Grams entered the living room her hands on her hips. It's her 'do what I say or else' -pose. I'm in trouble. And I was just in middle of watching Avatar. As if surprise visit from Hayley wasn't enough. I might had gone too far, almost using my powers, but hell. What ever.

''You are going to Emilys. I need my cookbook back.''

My jaw dropped. That evil little-! She totally didn't need the book. I was about to resist, but then I saw the look in her eyes. It was the grams-look I was too afraid to say no to. The look that practically said that she would take me off her testament and haunt me forever if I didn't obey. I frowned.

''Okay, okay, I'll go.'' I sighed. Fuck. ''Goddammit with you, woman.''

Grams' eyes lid and her lips turned into a victorious smile.

''Be good. Tell Emily she needs to visit me more often.''

I rolled my eyes but made my way to the hallway. I felt butterflies on my stomach as I tried to get my converse on. Butterflies with flamethrowers and bazookas.


I knocked on the door. My heart was coming through my chest. Damn. I'm having an heart attack here.

''Alexis?'' Emily was surprised. I stared at her feet.

''Um.. Hi, Emily. Grams asked if she could get the cookbook back if you don't need it anymore. It's okay though, if you still need it.'' I mumbled the end bitterly.

''Of course! Come in, come in!''

I shifted my feet but didn't move. ''Uh, I'll just wait here.''

Emily opened her mouth but another voice came from behind her.

''Oh, COME ON!'' Paul roared.

I took a step back as he pushed Emily (gently) aside and before I could react, I was in the air and on his shoulders.

''LET. ME. DOWN. I'LL HEX YOU TO FREAKIN' SIBERIA!''

I kicked and tried to caught something.

''You. Are. A. Pain! Seriously! Stop kicking me!'' Paul struggled.

I didn't stop.
Suddenly, he flipped me over and I landed on my feet. In the middle of the living room. Great. I glared at Paul, who looked pleased with himself.

What is it now, five for Paul, zero for me? He's going to pay.

I glanced around the room, everyone were looking me. Great.

Leah stood up angrily when our eyes met, but Sam stopped her with a simple look. Leah looked like she would attack me any second now, but she stood still. I turned my head and saw Seth. Our eyes met. I think I drowned in his eyes for a second. His eyes were full of joy, but at the same time he was unsure. He took a step forward. I saw movement on the corner of my eye and broke the eye connection. And I froze, horrified.

Hayley was standing next to the kitchen door, her hands crossed on her chest, but the thing that made me panic was next to her. And by thing, I mean two persons I have been lucky enough not to meet.

Sam saw who I was looking at them and cleared his throat.

''You haven't met, right? Alexis, these are Bella and Edward Cullen.''


So... Another cliffie. I know, I know, I'm always ending the chapters in cliffies, but I just can't help myself!

I was planning on writing from Seths pov, but it would have been maybe a it too angsty. I know I didn't tell much about Hayley even though she had a strong part in this chapter, but yeah, we'll see more of her.

Thanks for the awesome reviews and follows and favorites, the next chapter will definitely be up sooner than this!

Wow, it was really hard to come up with a name for this chapter.
