Chapter 12: Puzzle Pieces

(Sadie's POV)


"You can look through anything you want. I don't really have anything you could hurt." Billy chuckled to himself.

I looked around at the numerous amounts of scrapbooks and old family pictures with my family in it, one in particular was of my mom and dad in high school. My mom looked insanely happy, she was up on his shoulders, and my dad was grinning wide. At the bottom there was little tiny writing.

Josh and Laura- junior year.

"They look so happy." I whispered, dragging my fingers over their faces.

Billy wheeled to my side and admired the picture in my hands, he had a grim smile on his face. "They were. Completely and utterly happy," His voice sounded content and sad.

I slid the picture back under the stack and looked at the next one. It was of my parents and another couple, when I looked closer I could tell that the boy was Billy. When I looked over at him he looked away from me. I didn't push, I just watched him curiously as he wheeled himself further away. He kept his head in the direction of the wood on the walls when he finally spoke. "He was my brother." He announced. I knew it was coming and practiced over and over again to keep my composure, but when he finally said it I didn't do so well.

I nearly dropped the stack of pictures in my hand from shock. I obviously knew we were related. But I didn't know this directly, "What?" I choked.

Billy wheeled around to look at me, "You're my niece." He's such a brutal old man.

My mind went into overdrive, did that mean my dad knew about the wolves? I thought about asking but Billy looked hurt and distant, this was hard for him, probably harder than even for me. He knows them, I never knew them.

When I looked at the next picture my breath caught, it was my dad and the man from the woods that day. They were laughing, dad's head was thrown back and the other man was grinning at him. "Who is this?" I asked, much sharper than I intended. Billy looked up at me surprised before coming back to my side. He sighed and shook his head when he saw the picture, "What?"

Billy glanced at me warily then patted my shoulder, "That's your mother's brother and your father's best friend."

"Best friend?" I asked, shock was evident in my voice. Billy nodded slightly but didn't say anymore.

"So what happened between them?"

Billy looked up at me crookedly, "How did you know something happened?" I shrugged and didn't say anything. "The truth is Sadie I don't really know what happened. Something though. Something bad. Your mother moved out of her home when she was 16 and never moved back in after a fight between your father and him; Cash is his name."

I shook my head, "Wait so if my mom was so mad at her family… why did she leave me with Chris and Joy. Joy is her sister too. Why not leave me with you or something?"

Billy sighed, "Sadie I already had three kids I could barely take care of at the time. I was alone, and still grieving over Sarah. I was not suitable for any more responsibility." He paused, "Besides that, your Aunt Joy was so much younger than your mother. She never really even got to experience La Push. When your mother left the family her parents took Joy and left. Your mother knew that Joy would give you a regular life. And anyways I don't know that your mom was mad at your whole family, just Cash."

"Wait what do you mean a regular life?" I scoffed.

"Sadie, there are some things I can't explain."

I glared at him. I could tell that he could explain. He was just choosing not to. I was about to retaliate but Seth and a couple of the guys came through the door being obnoxiously loud. Seth came to me immediately and pulled me to him, I hugged him but didn't take my eyes off of Billy.

"So did you learn some stuff?" Brady asked, oblivious to the slight tension in the room.

I finally snapped my eyes away from my long lost Uncle's and smiled at Brady, "Yes I did actually, turns out Billy is my uncle."

All the guys were shocked, "Woah! That's cool. Didn't know you had brothers Billy." Brady laughed, looking over at the older man.

"Brother." Billy replied gruffly then sharply left the room. On the way out he was sure to run over Brady's foot.

"Oops." Brady shrugged when he was gone, we all rolled our eyes at him, but I also couldn't help but smile.

"So," Collin finally spoke, "We're cousins." He said with a gleam in his eye.

"We are?"

"Yep!" He chuckled, "Jacob's my first cousin so, so are you!"

"Oh cool. I've never had cousins before?" I shrugged, looking up at Seth. He just rolled his eyes and pulled me over to the pictures, the guys sat on the couch and started an argument over whatever sports game was on while Seth admired the pictures with me.

I contemplated telling him about the man for a few minutes before I finally decided it was a good idea. "Hey Seth?" He looked over away from the picture at me, "You see this guy?"

Seth looked at the picture a minute then nodded, "That's your dad right?" He asked pointing at my father, I nodded.

"And the other guy is the man I saw in the woods that day." I said suddenly.

I don't know what reaction I thought I was going to get, but I will say when Seth jumped up so fast he threw his chair I nearly jumped out of my skin from surprise. "What?" He asked in a deadly voice.

I looked over at Brady and Collin, they also went pretty stiff. "Guys calm down. He was my mom's brother. It turns out they got in a bit of a family feud or something. I bet he was just trying to scare me that day." In the back of my head I knew that was a lie, why would he just randomly be in the middle of the woods, then scare me over something stupid. More importantly, why would he be so adamant that I stay away from Seth? But I didn't say that, because my goal at the moment was to get all of them to chill out.

"How would he know about the wolves and vampires Sadie?"

I shrugged, "Seth. He grew up here. He probably just heard the legends and made assumptions."

That didn't ease Seth up at all, he looked over at Brady and Collin fiercely. "Guys lets go."

My eyes widened. I ran in front of Seth and put my hands on his chest to stop him. "Wait. What are doing?!" I asked frantically.

"Move Sadie." His voice was so harsh I flinched.

"No." I said firmly, Seth raised his eyebrows at me. "You heard me. I said no. You aren't going to go out on a wolfy scavenger hunt just because a little puzzle piece came together. He's human Seth, hardly any match for you. And he didn't even say he was going to hurt me! I don't know why you're making this a big deal!"

Seth glared down at me, "It obviously wasn't a coincidence Sadie! He knew way too much. He's out to get you!"

I laughed out loud, "Seth! Would you calm your ass down?! He didn't even threaten me. Don't go kill a guy because of an old family feud. It isn't even my fight!"

Seth kept his eyes on mine for a few seconds, his breath was rapid. When he finally closed his eyes and his breath started evening back out I released the desperate hold I had on him before. "Fine." he spoke and opened his eyes too look at me with a stern expression, "But I swear Sadie if he comes around you again, you tell me. Something feels off about this whole thing. There's something we don't know. I can feel it in my bones."

I wanted to roll my eyes but didn't think that would go over to well so I just nodded. "I still think you're overreacting, but fine! If I ever see him again I'll tell you."

Seth nodded, his jaw was still clenched and I nearly sighed in relief. After meeting some of these other wolves I was glad I got Seth. He hardly ever loses his temper, and I have a feeling if it was any of the other guys they would've probably just killed the guy the first time I saw him.

I couldn't afford that, Seth was right this was a puzzle we have yet to figure out. And if he hastily kills someone over something stupid I'll never know what happened. I intend to figure this all out eventually. Besides, the image of Seth with a human arm hanging from his big wolf mouth will forever haunt me.
