Hey guys, sorry about the small delay—apparently my computer got a virus and it took two days to get it off….but here we are! Enjoy! Review!

Seth's Pov [that same day]

"Damn it Seth! Calm down!" Sam's voice yelled into my head, yet it wasn't a command. My body shaking and my lips pulled back in a snarl I continued to growl at Embry who was cowering behind Sam fearfully.

"She could have DIED Sam! Don't you realize that! She wasn't BREATHING!" I screamed and kept my eyes locked on Embry, looking for a sign of weakness—or a chance to lunge at the bastard's throat. Embry whimpered.

"I said I was sorry Seth! I didn't know that wave was coming! If I had I wouldn't have thrown her….." He hesitated before continuing "Anna seemed like she was having fun though." That was the line. I lunged forward in hopes of catching Embry's neck. I yelped as Sam's teeth sank into my lower back.

"I said stand DOWN!" His command brought me to my knees….figuratively of course. My muzzle buried into my front paws I let out a whine, his teeth still in my flesh. "Seth, Embry didn't know that was going to happen. Calm down. Embry—get out of here." Embry did a wolfy nod then took off into the trees, towards Sam and Emily's house. Sam turned back towards me. "Now Seth—are you going to sit here and moan or are you going to go find Anna and explain why you took off?" I rose my eyes to his.

"What am I supposed to say Sam? Hey I took off because I was about to turn into a gigantic wolf and tear your throat out?" Sam sighed and laid down in front of me, his eyes filled with sympathy.

"Have you ever considered telling her Seth?" I shook my head, my tail curled in closer to my body.

"Not yet, she's just now slowly opening up to me Sam, this would ruin everything….I-I'll think of something…" Standing back up I nodded once in his direction then took off into the trees and into the direction where I kept an extra pair of shorts.

Annabeth's Pov [Same Day]

I awoke to a hand shaking my shoulder gently, groaning I rolled over to where my face was smushed into my purple pillow, a chuckle sounded through the room.

"Come on Anna, you fell asleep" Carter gently said above me, I mentally rolled my eyes No der Sherlock… I thought to myself, resisting the urge to hit him with my pillow. Suddenly he got on my bed and started jumping up and down "Get UP!" Rolling back around I grabbed his foot and yanked—unforchantly my plan didn't go as I planned, his body came down on top of mine, knocking the air out of my lungs.

"What do you WANT!" I demanded as I tried to push him off me, in the doorway Kathy let out an annoying laugh. I suppressed a groan; I did NOT want her in my home. Carter smirked.

"There is someone at the door for you. Tall and handsome." I looked at him in confusion, Carter just rolled his eyes and flicked my forehead "Seth's at the door for you, he's dripping wet so I told him I'd get you" To my dismay my heart leapt at the mention of Seth, something that should NOT happen.

"THEN GET OFF ME YOU DOOF!" I yelled. Carter laughed and rolled off me, I could feel his eyes on me as I quickly ran to my bathroom and grabbed a brush, running it through my hair as I desperately tried to get through tangles. Once my hair was manageable I made a split decision and grabbed a towel before running down the stairs in record time and threw open the door, my heart soared at the sight.

Standing there was a very soaked, shirtless Seth. Shaking my head I held out the towel, the only thing that kept the rain from soaking him further was the porch roof above him.

"You might want to dry off…you'll get sick" I muttered, lowering my eyes from his….the usual Annabeth coming back…stepping out under the porch with him I firmly shut the door. Seth chuckled.

"I don't get sick…." He took the towel anyways and started drying his arms, his firm toned arms that—I groaned inwardly and crossed my arms over my chest.

"So where'd you go?" I mumbled, looking out into the street as I avoided looking at him; avoided thinking about him. Seth sighed.

"That's a little complicated to explain…" I opened my mouth to protest but was stopped by him putting a hand on my arm to stop me. "But I will eventually, I promise. Just right now it does not the best time, just know I didn't want to go alright?" I nodded silently. Seth let out another sigh and stepped in my line of sight.

"Why won't you look at me Anna? You're pulling away all of a sudden…" His eyes were full of sadness, I flinched as Tom's car pulled into the driveway; I looked back to Seth quickly.

"I-I'll explain one day" I lied looking towards Tom, his eyes narrowing at the sight of Seth. "You need to go Seth, I've got homework…I'll see you Monday alright?" Seth's eyes saddened more but he nodded anyways.

"Yeah….yeah alright…I'll see you later…" Shaking his head he handed me the towel back then walked back into the rain. Giving a small polite wave to Tom he took off running down the street.

"Annabeth, who was that?" He stated in a scarily calm tone, I winced and avoided his eyes.

"Just a friend Dad, he came over to give me some school notes" I mumbled, Tom pulled my face to where my eyes met his, his grip firm.

"A shirtless boy?" I shrugged and bit the insides of my cheek.

"I didn't look…" Pulling my face away I opened the door and walked in "Carter has a friend over by the way" I said changing the subject, and letting him know we weren't alone. Tom nodded.

"CARTER!" He boomed, his voice echoing throughout the house. Taking my leave I disappeared into the laundry room and tossed the towel into the dirty basket. My thoughts replaying the image of Seth over and over I flinched and tried to push the image out by reciting Algebra equations in my mind. It didn't work, one thing was clear to me though—I was changing, and I wasn't sure if it was for the better.

Carter's Pov [While Annabeth was at the bonfire]

"So you just moved here?" Kathy asked as she sat next to me on the couch, our text books on the coffee table in front of us I nodded.

"Yeah, well technically we moved back really. My family moved away when I was eight, Annabeth and my stepmom got in a car wreck, Dad decided it was time to move." I mumbled, typing in the trig problem into my calculator. Kathy smacked on her gum.

"So like…" smacking "Where did you move?" I sighed and put the calculator up. I was supposed to be tutoring her but all Kathy would do was talk.

"Here, there, everywhere really. We moved around a lot" Kathy might have been my girlfriend as of three a clock but that didn't mean I was getting annoyed with her. She blew a bubble then popped it.

"So tell me about your sister, I noticed she keeps to herself a lot" Kathy said as she leaned close to me, giving me full view of her cleavage. I gulped and tried to meet her eyes.

"I suppose, she's just shy" I shakily got out. Kathy opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by the sound of the door opening.

"CARTER! I'm home!" Anna yelled, smiling at the chance to escape I jumped up and wrapped my arms around her in a hug.

"Hey! How'd the bonfire go?" I asked excitedly, Anna never got out—never had friends, this was a first. Anna shrugged.

"Fine." I frowned than realized she was soaked. Kathy came bounding down the stairs after me.

"Carter! Wha—" She stopped and smiled at the sight of Anna, a stare that could be described as a lion stalking its prey. I brushed it off as Anna turned around and looked at me in confusion. I grinned at her and ran a hand through my hair.

"By the way….Kathy is here. She's in my art class" I mumbled with a smile, Anna looked at Kathy and looked her over with a sigh.

"Anna right? I'm pretty sure we have Chem together." This was news to me, watching both my sister and my girlfriend I moved to where I was leaning against the wall, my arms crossed over my chest.

"I don't really pay attention in that class" Anna smiled a bit then blinked in complete confusion as Kathy snaked her arm around my waist, putting herself close to me with a smile—a determined look in her eyes

"I have a feeling we'll see a lot more of each other considering Carter and I ar—" I coughed to stop her; I'd tell my sister when it was time. Last minute I decided to change the subject

"Why are you soaking wet?" I somehow got out of Kathy's hold and walked over to Anna, poking her wet clothes.

"Embry threw me into the water." I gasped horrified, my heart erupting in a bit of anger, I pushed it back.

"But you can't swim!" I exclaimed not believing what I was hearing. Anna blushed and looked away embarrassed.

"I figured it out" Annabeth mumbled looking down, I opened my mouth to ask how but she interrupted me.

"I'm going to take a shower and finish some homework….or something…" Before either of us could respond Anna rand up stairs, leaving me with Kathy. I turned towards her and smiled.

"So, how bout we get started on that homework"
