Seth's POV
I sat down on the couch, a blanket that Shay had handed me, wrapped around me. Sara sat curled up in a ball in the arm chair across the room with her own blanket around her. She was very tired looking and sad, dark circles were under her eyes. Shay was upstairs changing into something dry. I could hear her walking around in her room.
"Was it about..?" I started to ask but Sara cut me off.
She nodded. "Yeah." She mumbled and sniffed. "They didn't take it too well as you can see."
"Sorry." I said automatically.
She shrugged. "I guess I was expecting it." She looked away sadly. She honestly looked terrible and I didn't know what to say. The most I had ever had to deal with this kind of thing was when I was worried that Shay would freak out when I told her. I guess I was lucky. I heard Shay leave her room and head for the stairs. "Did you tell her?" Sara asked suddenly from her seat.
That was when Shay walked into the room " What did he tell me?" She asked casually as she sat down beside me, taking my hand as she did so. She looked from Sara to me.
I laughed a little when Sara looked at me alarmed. "Yes she knows. I told her last night." I squeezed her hand.
"Wait what?" Shay exclaimed and looked from Sara to me and back again. "She knows?" She asked me, a bunch of emotions crossed her face. "How?"
I smiled reassuringly. "Do you want to tell her or do you want me to?" I asked Sara without really looking at her.
"Could you?" Sara squeaked.
I nodded and sat up a bit. "Sara has a power to see what peoples biggest secret. She saw mine when she and the others came to visit." I whispered into her ear.
She looked up at me in surprise. "But how is that possible?"
I shrugged. "It's a vampire power. It's showing even as a mortal so it means that it would be very powerful if she's changed. It's hard to explain." I says, squeezing her hand again. "I actually know someone who was like that too."
"But it doesn't work on everyone and I'm learning how to control it." Sara put in quickly.
I nodded. "That's what they fought about. Sara told them and they didn't take it so well." I explained.
Shay looked from me to Sara, who was now crying silently in her chair. Shay let go of my hand and walked over to Sara to pull her into a hug. "I'm sorry." She whispered as she held on to her friend. Shay maneuvered Sara so that she was sitting her lap. Sara leaned into her shoulder as sobs racked through her body. She held onto Shay as she did so.
I sighed and heaved myself from the couch. "I'll be right back. I'm going to get a change of clothes from home." I whispered to Shay and she nodded, her face blank of emotions. I ran to the trees and quickly phased, let the fire rip through me.
"SETH CLEARWATER, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" My mom yelled when I walked through the door to the house.
"Relax mom." I said calmly and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "I was at Shay's." I grabbed an apple from the bowl on the counter and took a bit out of it. "You worry too much." I said and hurried upstairs before she could say anything. I changed into a pair of jeans but kept the T-shirt off because I knew I was going to phase again after I ate something.
I ran down the stairs and back into the kitchen, my t-shirt slung over my shoulder. Mom was still waiting for me. "I have good reason don't I." She muttered as I walk by her to the fridge, taking another bit out of the apple. "Leah came home last night and she said that you were going to check on Shay and then come back after but you never come. You don't call or anything."
I sighed and pulled out the stuff for sandwiches. "Look, I just told her everything and she was having a hard time so I stayed with her. She needed me mom, I wasn't about to leave her there."
Half hour later
I walked into the living room to find Sara sound asleep in Shay's arms. "Hey." I whispered and made my way to the chair. I squatted down beside them. "How did it go?"
She shook her head. "Not great. She's a total mass. Her parent basically thought she was cursed because they're really into the whole religious thing. I feel so bad for her. They were about to call the priest or something to do some sort of ceremony on her. She ran out of the house at 11 and spent the night at the airport, waiting for the next flight here. She had to use her parent's emergency credit card to get here." She sighs and looks back at Sara, frustrated. "She's had it rough." She says quietly after a moment.
"Do you want me to carry up to the guest bedroom?" I offered, kissing her forehead and pusher her hair from her face.
She nodded. "That would be great thanks." She whispers, gratefully and untwines her arms from Sara so that I could take her. I lift her small body easily into my arms and carry her up the stairs, Shay close behind me. Sara sturs in my arms and I hear her heart beat quicken as she wakes up but she doesn't act upon it. Shay walks past me so she could open the door for the quest bedroom for me. We walk in and Shay pulls back the covers on the queen sized bed so I could lay Sara's limp body on it before she pulled them up and over her. I watch her but she doesn't move. I know perfectly well that she's awake and there something telling me that it was because Shay was in the room. I frowned slightly to myself.
Shay and I left the room and was about to go to her room when I say. "I'll be right there Shay. I just need to go to the bathroom for a moment."I lean down to give a quick his on her cheek. She smiles and nods before turning around to go to her room. I wait until she closes the door behind her then quietly open the door to the quest room. I walk silently to the chair beside the bed and take a seat. Sara hadn't moved but I still knew she was well awake. "I know your awake, Sara. You can open your eyes now." I say calmly and sure enough Sara opens one eye before the other.
Frowning she said. "How did you know I was awake?" She muttered.
I shrugged. "You'll learn soon enough." She nods slowly, then looks up at the ceiling. "Is there something you want to ask me?" I asked. Shay was waiting for me, I couldn't wait all night for to say it on her own.
She looks at me in disbelief. "Yeah, how did you know?"
"Does it really matter?" I muttered.
She shakes her head. "No I guess not?" She says quietly and looks down at her hands. I could hear Shay getting into bed down the hall.
"Go ahead then." I tried my best to sound patient but I think she noticed anyway because she hurried into her question.
"Do you love her?" She said quickly.
I stared at her taken aback. That was the last question I thought she would ask. It took me a moment to pull myself back together.
"Yes, why do you ask?"
She looks away embarrassed. "Well because, I saw the way you look at her and haw she talks about you. I can tell that you love each other but it's nothing that I have ever seen before. There's something else there, it's stronger." She trailed off, playing with her fingers
and leaving an awkward kind of silence.
I took a deep breath. "Isn't that something you would ask Shay, not me?"
She nods. "Yeah but..." She looks up to look me in the face. "Look, Shay has been through a lot in the past couple of months and I just don't want to see her get hurt anymore than she already has."
I sigh and leaned forward in my chair. "I would hate myself more than you would hate me if Shay got hurt." I said and got up. "You should talk to Shay about these things and she'll probably explain it all to you too." I said and walked out the door. I walked up at Shay room and went inside to find Shay reading a book with the lamp on her bedside table. She looked up when I came in and closed the door behind me. a big smile spread across her beautiful face.
"Hey." She said and patted the space beside her in the bed. I smile and pull of my t-shirt, throwing it in the aside for tomorrow. Shay put the book on the side table as I climbed over the covers beside her. She gets out from under them and settles herself over the covers and leans up against me. "I'm sorry." She mutters after a moment.
"For what?" I ask, stroking her hair.
She shrugs. "I know you probably wanted to spend the weekend with me." She looks up apologetically.
I smile. "It's okay. I had today with you and last night, didn't I and besides, Sara needs you right now." I said and kissed her forehead.
She nodded. "Yeah I guess but I kinda wished we could go running again this weekend."
I laughed a little. She really liked it and for that I was glade because I liked it too. "We could go now." I offered.
She frowned. "We can't just leave her here. What if she wakes up and looks for us."
I tilt my head a bit in the direction of Sara's room and I could easily hear her even breathing and her steady heart beat. "She's sound asleep and I'm pretty sure that she won't wake up until morning so why not." I said and pushed some hair out of her face.
She deliberated this for a moment before smiling. She jumped up from the bed and hurried to her closet. I could hear her fumbling through her things before reappearing were a rain coat, jeans and rubber boots. I sit up on the bed and watch her as she crosses the room to her dresser and grabs an elastic off the top, throwing her hair into a messy ponytail. I get up walk quietly behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, kissing her cheek. "I love you Shay." I whisper in her ear. She giggles a bit before turning around her my arms, placing her hands on either side of my face.
"I love you." She whispers back before crushing her lips to mine.
"MMMHHH." I mumbled against her lips, lifting her up so I don't have lean down. He legs wrap around my middle and he arms go around my neck, pulling herself higher. She clung to me as our lips moved together so perfectly. Times like this prove just how much we are meant to be together.
When we finally pull away, breathing hard and heart beating quickly, she presses her forehead to mine. Our eyes locked on each other's. I start to stroke her long black hair while I hold her up with the other easily. It felt great to have her my arms and so close. "Do you want to go?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah." She whispered and to me go that I could put her on her feet. We hurried down the hall, past Sara's door, trying to be very quiet. (Well Shay tried. It was easy for me.) Once outside, I told Shay to wait on the back deck while I went to go phased. I tied my jeans to the rope around my ankle and let the fire burn through me as I take on a different shape. On four paws I made my way back to where Shay awaited. She smiled as I approached.
"I don't know if I will ever get used to that." She murmurs to herself. I let out a wolfykind of laughed and let my tough hang out of my mouth, making her laugh as well. I walk right up to her and put my head to her level. She reaches up and scratches the side of my head, feeling the fur there. When suddenly give her a long slobbery lick from her chin to her hair line. I jumped away quickly before she could get me. "That was disgusting Seth." She yelled but she couldn't hide the smile that was fighting its way onto her face. I snickered and ran around her playfully. She tried to catch me but I was too fast for her. "Get back here." She yelled, laughing as she ran after me just as I had an idea. I hurried into the woods and disappeared in them. I heard Shay yell after me. I made a sharp turn to the left and ran in that direction for a few seconds before I left the woods behind Shay. I walked quietly up to her. She didn't hear me coming so when I let out a loud park, she jumps and let out a small squeal. She spun around in time to see me on the ground with my legs in the air, laughing so hard that there might have been tears in my eyes if I were human. She frowns and puts her hands on her hips. "That was so not funny Seth Clearwater." She sounded so much like my mom that I couldn't help but laugh some more. She crosses her arms over her chest and waits for me to stop. When I finally do, I look back to her, still on my back. "Are you done?" She asks sarcastically, making me chuckle as I roll onto my stomach. "Did you really have to do that, I nearly peed my pants?" She asked and I nodded. Shay rolled her eyes at me and motioned to my back. A smile appears on her face as she climbs on my back. I stood up and started running. This time I went faster but still not as fast as I could go, no matter how much I wished I could.
Shay's POV
"Come on Sara. You haven't left the house all week." I said loudly. I was trying to persuade Sara to come the bonfire the packs were having tonight. Sara hadn't improved much in the week that she had been here. While Seth and I were at school she stayed here and watched TV all day, waiting for us to get home. She stayed in her pajamas all day and only took them off for Lana to wash and to have a shower. (Which she does, frequently and not coming out until the water goes cold.) To tell you the truth I was starting to get annoyed with her. She hasn't done a thing in the past week. I was willing to be patient at first but this was getting to be too much. I know what her parents did to her but all she's doing is mopping around the house. Even Lana was getting annoyed. Sara is like a zombie. She needed to get out and this was a perfect way to do so. I know that she was wondering about the wolves and this was a way to find out about them. Billy, Jacobs dad was going to tell some of the legends. I didn't know whether they were the same ones that were told my first bonfire but either way I was quite excited myself.
Seth and I haven't gotten much time together either. We only had nights after Sara had gone to bed but that was hard because of school nights and we needed our sleep. (Well more I do than Seth but still.) Then there are Seth's patrolling time and homework. I was getting really frustrated.
One thing I was happy about was that Seth had slept in my room with me almost every night since he told me about himself. He even had spare cloths stored in my room for when he needed them after patrols and such. Basically, my house has become a second home to him and I'm sure I would have been to Seth's a lot more if it wasn't for Sara.
"I don't want to go." Sara mumbled with her legs pulled up to her chest and her chin rested on her knees. We sat on the couch in the living room.
"Sara please, you're driving me insane here. Please just come. You might do you some good." I pushed. I swear if she didn't agree to go in the next ten minute I was going to get Seth to carry her. She shook her head. "Sara, you'll learn about the wolves and their history. I know you want to know more about them."
"I shouldn't even know about them in the first place." She mumbled and sighed.
"Who knows, maybe you'll meet someone that you like." Lana said, walking into the room and taking a seat in the arm chair across the room. My relationship with Lana was still not that great but it was making progress. I trusted her enough not to kill me but it still freaked me out to be in the same room with her without Seth at my side.
I nodded encouragingly at Sara. "Yeah, that's a possibility and you could meet Emily. She's really nice and I'm sure she would love to meet you." I could tell that Sara was starting to think about it so I continued in a rush before she changes her mind. "And you could ride with me on Seth's back, trust me it's so much fun and the legends are so cool. Please Sara. Please come with us."
"I wish I could go. I always wanted to hear the legends." Lana said from across the room.
Sara looks from to Lana and back again before sighing in defeat. "Fine, I'll go."
I smiled. Finally, I thought to myself. "Good because you were going anyway."
She rolled her eyes. "What were you going to do? Drag me there yourself." She muttered.
"No." I said, getting up from the couch. "I was going to get Seth to carry you." I said and turned to leave the room. "Now come on. You need to get ready." I called over my shoulder as I climbed the stairs.
Twenty minutes later
"Are you sure this is safe?" Sara whispered in my ear while we were waiting for Seth to phase in the woods. We would have taken his truck but it was broken and Jacob wasn't done fixing it yet so we were going to ride on Seth's back to get there. Sara of course was a bit nervous for the whole thing since she hasn't seen the wolves yet and didn't really know much about them. She stood close by my side, staring at the place where Seth had disappeared into the trees.
I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry. It's completely safe, especially with me." I nudged her with my elbow.
"Why with you." She asked, looking at me curiously.
I shrugged. "You'll see tonight." That was when Seth appeared through the trees, his fur shinning in the moonlight. I heard a small gasp from beside me but ignored it and walked up Seth, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Don't go too fast. Sara's a bit freaked out." I whispered in his ear and he nodded his big head as I pulled away. I looked over at Sara and rolled my eyes again at what I see. Her eyes were wide and I noticed she had taken a few steps back. "Are you coming, he won't hurt you." She stared at me in disbelief and walked up to her. "What's wrong now?" I mumbled.
"You didn't say anything about how big he was." She whispered, eyeing Seth from over my shoulder.
"I thought you knew what he looked like." I muttered.
"Shay, all I get is someone's biggest secret. I guess I knew what he looked like a little but I still didn't expect this." She motioned with her hand towards Seth.
"Sara, he keeps his mind when he phases. That is Seth just in wolf form. That's the only thing that is different and I've already ridden him, its fun." She continued to eye Seth. I sighed. "You know what will happen if you refuse. He'll drag you by his mouth if he has to." I looked back at Seth and he was looking at me like he really didn't to do that. "He would if I told him to, right Seth." I called over to him. He huffed a sighed after a moment and nodded. I smiled and turned back to Sara. She was glaring at me.
"Why are you doing this to me?" she said loudly.
"Because you need to get out whether you want to or not. So decide Sara. The easy way or the hard way." I crossed my arms over my chest for emphasis. She bit her lip. "Oh come on." I said and took her hand, pulling her towards Seth. She makes a feeble attempt to pull away and Seth's down. "Sara, he's harmless." I said looking at Sara's reaction to being so close to Seth. I could feel his eyes on my face but I don't look at him. I pull Sara's hand up to Seth face, letting her feel the fur there. I have to hold it there for a moment so she doesn't pull away but she relaxes after a bit so I let go. She doesn't pull away but lets her hand linger, watching Seth's reaction but he doesn't have one. He just continues to stare at me with that same intensity that he gave me the first day of school. I reach out and scratch behind his ear, smiling up at him. He lets his tough hang out and leans his head into my hand, closing his eyes and making that purring sound that he makes when I do that. I laughed him and he opens his eyes immediately, watching me. I stand on the tips of my toes so I could kiss the side of his cheek. I look back to Sara and find her watching us but she looks away quickly. "So are we leaving?" I asked and Sara nodded after a moment. Seth laid down in front of us so we could climb on. I sat in the front and wrapped my arms around his neck while Sara sat behind me, clinging to my middle so hard that I was having a hard time breathing. I thought I would enjoy the ride but having Sara there ruined it. It wasn't the same and she hold on so tightly that I was very uncomfortable for the whole ride. I was actually glade when we arrived. Seth laid down so we could get off before he ran through the trees to phase back.
"Hey." Seth said joining us, taking my hand in his. We walk out of the trees, Sara in tow. We head straight for our group. Claire sat in Quils lap on a log, Bree leaning into Brady, Jez sat on the ground talking to Bree while Collin was talking to Brady. Claire looked up as we approached and waved to us. Seth and I take a seat on the ground beside them and I pulled Sara down with me. Everyone turn to greet us.
"Everyone this is Sara. She's my friend from back in New York. Sara this is Claire, Quil, Brady, Bree, Collin and Jez." I introduced everyone. Sara gave them all a small wave while everyone else says hi and smiles before returning to their conversations. I watch Sara look around at everyone around us with wide eyes, taking everything in. I laugh a little under my breath.
"Hey guys." Someone calls from behind me. I turn around to see Jacob walking in our direction with the most beautiful girl at his side, holding his hand. I know Lana was beautiful too but her beauty didn't feel real while this girl looked completely real. Her hair fell down her back in bronze ringlets and her eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown. I self esteem definitely took a hit after seeing her. "Shay, this is Nessie." Jacob said proudly when he reached us. I stood up, smiling and stuck out my hand so she could shake.
"It's nice to meet you Nessie. This is Sara by the way. She's a friend from New York." I said.
"You too." Nessie said and smiled a dazzling smile, showing all her perfectly white teeth. "Seth has told me and my family all about you." She said letting go of my hand before turning to Seth. "All though he hasn't been by to see us in a while, has he."
Seth shrugged. "Sorry Ness. I've been busy." He beamed up at me as he spoke, making me blush.
"Anyway I'm really glad I finally met you. I'll see you later." She said and waved to the others before following Jake to Emily and Sam over on the other side of the bonfire. I sit back down and lean into Sara to whispering her ear.
"That was Jake and Renesemee. Jake is Seth's Alpha and Nessie is half vampire."
She nodded. "Yeah I know. That was her secret and I already met her." She mumbled.
"What? When was that?" I asked confused.
Seth who hadn't been talking to Collin and who also must have been listening in on us, leaned over. "The last time they were here. She told me about her gift so I sent her over to the Cullens to get some help with it."
"It was the day that you all went to the beach and I pretended to be sick." Sara said quietly from beside me.
"How come nobody told me about this?"
Seth shrugged. "It never came up."
I frowned. "Well."
Seth patted me on the back. "Don't worry Shay. I was nothing." He flashed me my favorite smile before turning back to Collin.
Soon more people arrived and dark fell over us. All the guys had already eaten the entire mountain of food that Emily had brought and Sam was putting more wood in the fire. Sara of course hadn't said much. I was talking to Jez and Claire about a trip to the movies that they were planning with the guys. They had been so happy to find out that Seth had told me about the wolves. Claire had said that it was about time and that it was getting harder to keep it from me. She was the most excited about it. Seth, Collin and Brady were panning something but I couldn't hear enough of their conversation to know what. Bree was talking with Emily and Quil had gone over to talk with Embry, Jacob and Nessie. Everyone seemed to be having fun with one exception of course. Sara was literally sulking in the corner but I had too much of her the past week that I didn't do anything about it. I had given her plenty of chances to do something with herself and didn't take them. So if she wants to be miserable I'm not going to stop her.
Around ten thirty Billy wheeled himself to the head of the fire. His face eliminated from the flames. He told us the same stories as he told the first week I was here however I wasn't disappointed. They were even better the second time. It was maybe because now I knew that they were true. I don't know but I loved them. About half way through I looked over at Sara and smiled when I found that she was very interested in them. She watched Billy very carefully with curiosity. Finally some life to her.
Billy continued his stories as the night wore on. Near the end I was starting to get tiered and leaned into Seth's side, resting my head on his shoulder. For the rest of the stories I tried my best not to fall asleep. I didn't want to have Seth carry me unconscious all the way home which I know he would do if I fell asleep. I love Seth with all my heart but sometimes he could be so absurd. Like me actually. I cracked a smile at the thought. "What?" Seth whispered but I shook my head.
Once the stories were done, people started to leave. A lot of us stayed to talk a bit more. I was listening to Seth and Collin talking when I looked over a Sara and was surprised at what I saw and what happened next.
