Kat Cullen
Chapter 14- Truths and no more lies
Seth POV
I had officially made the decision to tell her, or show her, she had the right to know and I had the right to tell her.
I jumped up the stairs in one bound and knocked on the door. Blondie answered.
"Piss off." She snarled going to close the door again, I shoved my foot in-between the door to keep her from closing it, she slammed it as hard as she could and I felt my foot brake with a crack.
"fu-" I bit down on my lip to stop myself. "You broke my fricking foot." I snarled, while Carlisle opened the door properly and let me in. I limped in and hopped for a second rubbing my foot.
"You alright?" Carlisle muttered.
"Yeah fine." I smiled, healed.
"I've got to go to work, night shift." He sighed, heading out the door, Blondie groaned and stormed outside. I waited a moment, I could hear, Edward moving upstairs.
"Kat? He whispered. "Seth's downstairs." Instantly there where quick footsteps. I felt myself smile.
I was surprised to hear Edward coming down the stairs behind her. She skidded to a stop in front of me, smiling widely; I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead, before looking up at Edward.
He glowered at me, his arms folded; he knew what I planned to do.
I took a step towards the door, taking Kat's hand. Before I could reached it, Edward was there, stood in the doorway, his jaw clenched.
"If you hurt her, in the slightest, you better run, I will hunt you down. And I don't know if I'll be able to keep from killing you." He snarled through his teeth.
"If I hurt her, I won't run in the hope that you will hunt me down and kill me." I assured him.
"Guy's." that angelic voice smiled. "There will be no need to kill anyone." And she released my hand and ducked under Edwards arm.
"Don't mess with me." Edward snarled and moved out the way.
"Wouldn't dream of it." I sighed jogging down the steps and pulling Kat into another bear hug. "I want to show you something, but I want you to promise me that you won't hate me for it or run away screaming."
She looked nervously up at me chewing on her bottom lip. "okay." She sighed, and nodded once.
I smiled at her and led her to my truck, she climbed in and shuffled over to me, instead of a seat belt I wrapped an arm around her shoulders to keep her warm.
We drove for a few minutes until we where out of the way and then we walked into the trees until we came to a clearing. I unhooked my arm from her waist and took a few steps away from her until there was about 10 meters in-between us. She looked nervous again but also curious, maybe I should have bought Jake, Quil or Embry with me they could have helped, kept her safe, why was I so stupid?
She wrapped her arms around her shoulders to keep herself warm and watched me intently.
"Just stay there don't come any closer to me, please?" I begged lifting one hand and gesturing for no movement. She nodded looking even more apprehensive than before.
I had remembered everything, there where clothes in the back of my truck a cell phone in the event of anything happening, just not a helping hand to stop them from happening.
I concentrated on the times I had been refused access to her, not allowed into her life as if I didn't exist. My throat burned with the thought, and my hands vibrated at my sides, I concentrated even deeper closing my eyes and thinking of the long hours I had spent during the night, worry about her.
I transformed my clothes shredding, my eyes snapped open to focus on her beautiful face. Her eyes where wide staring at me, her mouth was slightly open, she took a step back apparently without planning to, tripping over her own feet and fell backwards, she let out a small 'oft' but sat back up straight away staring at me, I dipped my head and walked slowly towards her.
You're doing fine Seth. Jake thought encouragingly. I stopped a few feet in front of her, looking down at the ground.
What do I do? I thought desperately.
Nothing just give her a moment. Jake encouraged.
I didn't need to for at that moment Kat's hand reached out shakily, she buried it in my cheek fur and moved it to my neck, I looked up at her nervously, her eyes locked onto mine still nervously and I found myself nuzzling her hand. She smiled shyly. My tongue lolled playfully out the side of my mouth; she chuckled deep in her throat as I placed my head against hers and closed my eyes contently.
We stayed like that for another second before I pulled my head back a few centimeters to look at her again. She smiled weakly and stood up so I wasn't hunched over to her, I licked her face once before taking a step away from her, I lifted my front paw and looked down at the ground.
"What do you want?" she questioned with a frown. I gestured at the ground again. "Want me to stay here?" I nodded turning back to her. "okay." She sighed unsure. I nodded once more before pelting through the trees back to my truck.
You did fine. Jake muttered and faded out on me, I changed quickly not wanting to keep her waiting, I sprinted back through the trees and slowed to a walk just before I entered the clearing, she had sat back down in the center of the clearing, her knees up to her chest, her chin on top of her knees, she was staring blankly forward, as if she hadn't heard me. I took a step toward her then stopped. "Kat?" I called trying to get her attention. She looked round at me. "Do you want me to take you home?" she might want some time on her own.
She shook her head slowly. "It's fine." And tapped the ground next to her. I walked towards her and sat slowly down, she leant into me and I wrapped one arm around her shoulders. "What does this mean?" she sighed. I frowned slightly.
"That I love you."
She was silent for a moment, "I love you to, but what I meant is… I don't know what I meant." She sighed.
"Why did I tell you?" I prompted
She smiled. "Probably."
"Because I could, and I wanted you to know." I shrugged.
We fell into a comftorble silence but after about half an hour I heard her stomach rumble quietly. I laughed quietly. "Come on you're hungry." And stood up.
"I'm fine." She grumbled not standing.
"Unlike your family I'll eat with you." And pulled her gently up.
"fine." She sighed.
We choose a small restaurant on the edge of town; it was dimly lit with candles to create a romantic atmosphere, the type of place any normal teenage boy would avoid. We sat in one of the booths for privacy and ordered, I turned to Kat who looked nervous and shocked still. "Are you okay?" she looked pale. She looked up from her hands and gulped before forcing herself to smile.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." She choked. I didn't believe her but decided to leave it at that, it was just shock. We ate in a comftorble silence neither of us wanting to brake it.
"I better get you home or Ed will be after me, probably with Blondie's help." I sighed as we finished.
"You know she does have a name." she pointed out. "Say it with me, Rosalie. Ros-a-lie."
"Yeah, yeah I know Rosalie." I laughed. "Still Blondie to me though. Say it with me, Blondie. Blo-n-die."
"Ros-a-lie." She argued but smiled and stood.
On the drive home she asked a few questions about the how's and why's of me changing into a giant wolf.
"So let me get this straight, all the Quilute boys turn into wolves and your sister?"
"Yep that's pretty much it."
"Jacob?"
"Yeah. I'll get Billy to tell you the legends one day." I promised.
"Billy?" she queered as we pulled up in front of the house.
"Jakes dad. Really good at the story's you feel like your there." I explained.
"Okay, night." She smiled, leaning towards me she gave me a peck on the lips before climbing out and walking back towards the house. that was unexpected. I thought not moving for a moment.
Edward and Jacob passed her on her way up the steps. I climbed out and waited for them to reach me. Jake smiled when he did, Edward looked nervous and stopped a bit behind Jacob.
"You did fine. Just made her jump." Jake smiled hitting me playfully on the shoulder with the force which would have picked Kat up off her feat. "So I think someone owes you an apology." He added turning to Edward.
"Yeah sorry Seth, I should have trusted you more, you helped us when Rennesme was young and I should have let you have your happiness with Kat." He mumbled looking down.
"So you're going to let me see Kat more?"
He looked up quickly as if about to protest but caught Jakes eye. "Fine. But I still stand by what I said, if you hurt her I'll hunt you down." And walked away.
"And I stand by what I said; I'll stay where I am so you don't have to hunt." I called after him.
"Well, this has been pleasant, now can I have a lift, can't be bothered running." Jake smiled climbing in before I could protest.
"Yeah, hey can we organize a bon-fire where your dad tells the stories?" I asked starting the engine.
"Don't see why not I'll ask him tonight." He shrugged.
We drove in silence while Jake tuned my radio to a different station. "Go right ahead, I just had it set onto that one cause I enjoyed it but who cares?" I smiled with as much sarcasm as I could.
Jacob's POV
He pulled up outside my house. "Thanks man." I sighed opening the door.
"It's cool, but dude don't forget to ask. I'm crap at telling stories true or not." He smiled. I gave him the thumbs up and slammed the door.
I jogged up to the house and opened the door. "Hey dad, Seth wants a favor." I yelled as I walked in.
"And what's that?" he asked wheeling around to face me.
"Well you know he imprinted right?"
"Um-hm, on the Pommy Cullen?"
"Yeah, but I wouldn't say that to her face." I laughed. "Well, he just told her, but she doesn't know the legends…"
"And he wants me to tell them?" he predicted, with a smile. "Yeah, that's fine. Do you want me to explain that the Cullen's are the vampires in the story?"
Ah, hadn't thought of that. "um, I think that it would be best if we did not tell her she was living with eight blood sucking parasites and a half vampire, so no. we'll leave that to Seth to explain." I groaned. "I'll talk to him tomorrow." With that I walked up the stairs, to my bed.
I woke up in the morning to see Leah sat at the end of my bed.
"Y, arrgh! Leah, what are you doing here?" I yelled in surprise sitting up and pulling the blanket around me.
"Seth's gone all lovey-dovey and I thought I was going to puke so I left." she shrugged picking at one of her nails.
"And you came here because?" I yawned.
She looked up frowning. "Don't really know it was either here or sit outside on some park bench somewhere."
"Okay whatever, I need to talk to Seth anyway so where is he?"
"at the beach and I'm coming coz I'm bored stiff, I got here over half an hour ago and couldn't get you to wake up, if it wasn't for the breathing I'd have thought you where dead." She complained quietly.
"Yeah go outside or downstairs or something, I need to get dressed." I sighed and waited for her to leave before climbing out of bed and pulling on a pair of torn of jeans and a white tank top sort of thing. "'Kay let go." I sighed walking through the front room past Leah and out the front door.
"Is Seth in trouble?" she smiled hopefully.
I frowned. "No why would he be?"
"I don't know a girl can dream." She shrugged.
God, sisterly love. We walked down the road and a steady pace I was in no rush to get there; I had no idea what I was going to say anyway.
"How am I supposed to tell him that he's got to tell Kat that she lives with the vampires from the legends?" I sighed glancing at Leah.
She shrugged and frowned back at me. "I'd say it would go a little something like this is Seth was saying it. 'Katrina my love, you are living with the blood sucking parasites from the legends, they are my natural enemy and you are the fare princess that I must save from there cold, evil grasps'."
"I can only imagine Kat's reaction to that." I chuckled. "You've never met her have you?"
"No thanks, as long as she stinks like a leach I have no desire to meet her." She smirked.
"We'll wash her first don't worry." I laughed.
"Maybe then I might consider meeting her." She said jumping over a piece of drift wood. Seth was right down at the bottom of the beach staring out to sea.
"Yo! Seth!" I yelled cupping my hands around my mouth to amplify the already loud sound.
