Chapter 14
Lakota's point of view
Today's the day. The day everyone will face up against the Volturi. I couldn't sleep at all last night even with Seth right next to me. I kept thinking of the worse outcome and would cry. Seth held me close and soothed me but it didn't work. It's six and everyone's up and ready. I have to say goodbye to everyone because I'm going to La Push to stay with the other imprints at Emily's house. I sadly make my way downstairs and face all my family. I know if mom could cry she would. She hugs me tight and I hug her back starting to cry.
"I love you Lakota," she whispers.
"I love you too mommy," I say.
"Always remember that we love you and you are never alone," she says and I nod. She lets go and daddy picks me up in a bear hug.
"I love you princess," he says.
"I love you too daddy," I say hugging tighter.
"You'll always be my little girl, no matter how old you are," he says.
"Even though you're not my biological dad you really are my father," I say and he hugs tighter. He lets go and I hug grandma and grandpa.
"Stay with the girls and do not leave the house," grandma says and I nod. I go over to Bella and uncle Edward.
"I promise to make sure Seth's okay," Bella says. She's been working really hard on her shield power.
"I know you will, aunty," I say and hug her. She's shocked at first but hugs back. It's the first time I've called her aunty, and it might be the last time. We let go and I hug uncle tight.
"We'll be home soon Lakota," he whispers.
"I love you uncle," I say.
"I love you too sweetheart," he says kissing my head. I let go of him and turn around. Nessie jumps into my arms and I hug her tight.
"I love you Lakota," she says.
"I love you too Renesmee," I say. I kiss her head and she lets go of me. She goes over to Jake and I hug Tanya, Kate, Garrett, Carmen, and Eleazar. I hug and kiss everyone multiple times until Seth says we have to go. I hug everyone once more and then head into Seth's truck. Seth takes my hand and pulls me close. We ride to La Push in silence savoring these last few minutes we have until we're going to be separated.
We soon arrive at a small house in the woods.
"This is Sam and Emily's house," Seth says and I nod my head. He stops the engine and looks over to me. I remain silent because I don't want to say goodbye.
"We should get you inside," he says and I don't move.
"Come on Lakota," he says.
"I know you're worried but I promised I would come back, and I will," he says.
"But what if you don't?" I ask as the tears start to fall.
"I will," he says pulling me into his lap.
"Seth I can't lose you," I whimper.
"You won't," he says.
"I love you," I whisper.
"I love you too, forever and always," he says. I look up to him and smile lightly. He brings his lips down onto mine. It's soft and slow but soon turns into more. I wrap my arms around his neck and he holds me as close as possible. His hands go up my back and I moan. Seth pulls away and I blush.
"We should get going," he says and I nod. We get out and head inside hand in hand. When we enter the house everyone stares at us.
"Everyone this is Lakota," Seth introduces.
"It's nice to meet you Lakota, I'm Emily," a beautiful lady with three long scars running down her face says.
"It's nice to meet you Emily," I say with a kind smile.
"The guys just left," Emily says to Seth and he nods. Everyone goes into the other room to give Seth and I some time alone. I turn to Seth and he pulls me into a tight and warm hug.
"I'll see you in a few hours," he says.
"I love you, forever and always," I whisper hugging tighter.
"Forever and always," he says. We pull away and kiss. It's not like the other one it's sweet but still has all the emotion. He pulls away and kisses my forehead, nose, cheeks, and my lips lightly.
"I'll be back I promise," he says and I nod. He leaves and I watch him head into the forest. He waves to me and then phases into his wolf. I wave back and then he disappears. I sigh and start to cry. Please please let them all be safe and unharmed!
I walk into the other room Emily went in and see seven people including Emily.
"Lakota this is Rachel Jacob's older sister and Paul's imprint, Kim Jared's imprint, Billy Jacob and Rachel's father, Joy Quil's mother, Old Quil who is Quil's grandfather, and Claire my niece and Quil's imprint," Emily says pointing to everyone.
"It's nice to finally meet you all," I say.
"Seth's talked about you nonstop," Rachel says and I blush.
"Rachel do you mind helping me?" Emily asks.
"Not at all," Rachel says and they head into the kitchen. Joy holds a sleeping Claire while Old Quil and Billy talk to each other. I sit on the couch and sigh.
"Your eyes are amazing," Kim says.
"Thanks, your teeth are really white and straight," I say and she blushes. I twirl my ring, the one Seth gave me, on my finger and look around the room.
"Did Seth give you that?" Kim asks.
"Ya, on Christmas," I say.
"Jared gave me a ring too," she says and shows me the ring she has on her right ring finger. It's a silver band with a black gem in the middle.
"It's beautiful," I say.
"I guess the guys all got us the same thing," she says and I nod.
"So do you like it here?" Kim asks.
"Love it," I say and she nods.
"It's a beautiful place," she says.
"I hope I can stay here instead of going back to Alaska," I say. I haven't even thought of what's going to happen after today.
"Well I hope you do, you seem like a great girl and I want to get to know you," she says and I smile.
"You're great too," I say.
"Who imprinted on you again I'm so bad with remembering things?" I ask.
"Jared, Jared Cameron," she says and I get a flashback.
Flashback~
A little boy and girl are at a beach holding hands.
"I love you Jare," the little girl says.
"I love you too Kota," a the little boy says.
"Promise me we'll never fight or hate each other," she says.
"Promise," he says and they pinky swear.
"You're the greatest brother ever!" she says hugging him tight.
"You're the best little sister ever," he says chuckling.
End of flashback~
"Lakota, hello," Kim says waving her hand in my face.
"What?" I ask. "You spaced out," she says.
"Oh sorry," I say.
"It's okay," she says.
"So how'd you react to the imprint?" I ask.
"I was thrilled, I had a major crush on him and when he told me the whole story I was so happy!" she says.
"I found out from my uncle," I say.
"How did your parents react?" she asks.
"They attacked Seth," I say and her eyes widen.
"No one got hurt," I say.
"Oh that's good," she says. We go on talking about things and I forget that my loved ones are facing the Volturi.
