AN: It has been a very long time since I have updated this story. I hope you all think it was worth the wait I made it nice and long so enjoy and do not forget to review! More review more likely I am to post sooner lol Review!

What happened? It's dark... Why is it so dark? Am I dead?

"Anything?" Sam asked.

Sam! I never thought I'd be so happy to hear your voice!

"She's stable I'm sure she'll wake up any time now. She's just resting."

Dr. Cullen? Great more vampires...

Vampires! What happened is everyone okay? I have to find out! I have to wake up and talk!

"That's great news!" I heard Seth yell.

"When she does I'm gonna kill her," Jacob said.

"I'm with you on that," Sam agreed.

"Don't you guys think maybe..." Seth began.

I heard a chair move, "Sit down and shut up, you are so lucky we've been too busy to deal with you or believe me I would..."

"Jacob not now," Sam said, "sit Seth."

I stiffened they're pissed!

"Selena?" Sam asked making me flinch.

"You wouldn't be pretending to sleep would you?" Sam asked.

I finally found my voice, "Sorry Sammy," I answered lifting my heavy eyelids.

Seth sprang up but he was pushed back down by Jacob who looked at me worryingly, "Selena?"

I looked down at my body under the blanket expecting to see a lot of blood, but there wasn't any. All that remained was a faint scar.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"Two days," Dr Cullen answered.

"Well where is everyone? Is everyone okay?"

"Just a broken nose for me, and other minor injuries, nothing the doc here couldn't handle," Embry answered grinning. I smiled at him.

"Go let everyone know she's awake," Sam said.

Embry left and a few moments later I laughed at the sound of our pack cheering.

"You have a lot to explain to everyone," Sam said.

"She should rest a little longer first," Dr Cullen advised.

"I'm okay really, I'm a little tired but the headache is gone," I began.

"Save it for the meeting, which will be tomorrow," Sam ordered.

"But I have so much to," I began.

"You will get your chance," Sam said glancing at Carlisle "Now be respectful."

"No offense but I am not talking to a bloodsucker right now," I answered.

Sam was face to face with me in a heartbeat, "that man just helped save your life, and our family."

"Man?" I asked angrily but I began to feel guilty as Sam's eyes bore into me and the words sank in.

I nodded, "You're right. I'm sorry, thank you Dr. Cullen."

He nodded and gave a half-hearted smile making me feel even worse.

"I really am, I shouldn't have said that," I added.

He nodded again, "it's okay dear, I understand."

I looked over at Jacob who hadn't said a word, tears filled his eyes instantly and I began to cry reaching out for my brother, knowing how hurt he must have felt.

He sat on the bed and hugged me tightly,"I never would have made it without you. Don't you ever do that to me again!" He sobbed.

"I know Jakey, I know, and I am so sorry," I answered.

"I thought I lost you too. I thought I was all alone," he replied.

I couldn't answer for a moment but I finally managed to say, "Even without me, you know you'd never be alone."

He pulled away and smiled at me, "you know what I meant."

I smiled back, and tried to brush away my tears when I nodded.

He put his hand on mine and squeezed my palm, "You are still in so much trouble."

I nodded, "Figures, when am I not? I do have some really good explanations though."

"Don't count on it," he said then he kissed my forehead and let the anxious Seth have his turn. Seth practically jumped on top of me, "I missed you so much! What the hell is wrong with you?"

I gave him a fake shocked look and a gasp, "You're siding with them, what the hell is wrong with you?"

He smiled, "It's so great to have you back that I can't even stay mad at you!"

I laughed, "I love you too."

"Alright Seth that's enough, let her sleep," Jacob said.

"But..." Seth began.

But he shrank away at Sam's voice, "You heard him Seth, besides we have matters of our own to discuss."

"Guys he didn't know anything, it was all my fault I tricked him into believing that there were only a couple vampires and they were weak, and I saw the two of us defeat them, Seth really had no clue," I tried.

"Seth left the house after hours, and without consulting us, just the same as you," Sam said.

"Only to try to bring me back," I tried.

"Which he did not do. Instead he went with you which could have gotten the both of you killed," Jacob said.

"But Ja..."

"No Selena," Seth interrupted, "They're right and I deserve whatever they are going to do to me."

"Good. Now that that's settled go to sleep before I make you drink a whole bottle of NyQuil," Sam warned.

I nodded and rolled over in my bed, that stuff is disgusting, "Goodnight guys I love you. Goodnight, Dr. Cullen," I muttered before passing out. Apparently I was more tired than I thought because I was out in seconds.

Sam's POV:

I am furious with Seth too but unlike Jacob I am able to control my emotions better than he is. I'd let him deal with his little sister but I wasn't going to allow him to deal with Seth. I didn't want him to blame Seth for everything and accidentally hurt the boy, "I'll take care of him, you can deal with your sister later."

Jake nodded, "You act like I like punishing them or something, I don't care do what you want."

I grabbed his hand which was balled into a tight fist and held it up to him, "You're pissed off Jake and I..."

He pulled away, "AND YOU'RE NOT?"

I spoke into his ear now for further privacy, "Watch it. I understand you're angry but this is not all Seth's fault you need to calm down now."

He breathed a heavy sigh and I saw tears come back to his eyes.

I pulled him into a tight hug, "I know," I broke the hug, but left my hands on his shoulders looking him right in his eyes, "Go take a walk and cool down. Selena's safe, she's asleep."

Jake nodded, "I'm sorry."

I nodded too and he made his way through the crowded kitchen and outside. I caught the eye of my lovely wife, who was busy cooking, and smiled at her. I too joined the crowd and kissed her on the cheek.

She smiled and kissed me back, "I am so glad she's okay."

"We all are," I answered, "I'm going to be a few more minutes but I'll be back."

She glanced at Seth who was fidgeting in the corner of the room and nodded, "be easy."

"You always say that, he can take it he's a wolf," I smiled at her and she gave me an 'I mean it' look, "Don't worry babe, I've done this before. Come on Seth."

We exchanged one final smile, and then I followed Seth. He kept glancing back at me nervously. I pointed to the stairs and he quickly jogged up them. Selena was in our room so, "We can use her room for the time being."

Seth nodded and opened Selena's door. He sat on the bed and hung his head not wanting to look in my eyes. I could practically see the guilt seeping out of him, and could not wait for this to be over so he could go back to being the snarky but lovable little brat he has always been.

I sighed and sat on the bed next to him. I watched him and waited patiently. He finally lifted his eyes to mine and I could tell that he was already on the verge of tears. His eyes made contact with mine for a brief second before he quickly looked back down at his lap.

"Look at me Seth," I ordered.

He looked up at me guiltily.

"Do you understand what you did Seth?"

"I was so stupid Sammy, I am so sorry. I put Selena's life in danger I should have..."

"Stop Seth," I began.

A tear rolled down his cheek but he immediately quit speaking.

I ran my hands through my hair agitated and tried my best not to yell the next sentence without really succeeding, "Do you not understand? Are you really this blind! This isn't all about Selena!"

Seth flinched away from me and I continued, "You put your life in danger too does that not mean anything to you? Do you not understand why Jake and I are so disappointed in you? Selena made her own choices, and you just let her. You decided to risk your life as well and all it would have taken was one little phone call Seth. We could have lost both of you!"

My eyes burned with angry tears just thinking about it. To lose a little brother and sister in one day, that would be unbearable.

More tears streamed down Seth's face, "I'm so sorry Sammy I didn't even think about that. Selena said they were weak and there were only two, and I thought you would be proud of us. I just wanted to make you proud."

"Seth even if you two would have taken down all six of them by yourselves you would still be getting this spanking," I explained.

"Wait what? Why?" Seth asked.

I shook my head at him and pulled him down across my lap, "Maybe this will help you figure it out."

"Sammy wait!" Seth tried but I started spanking him swiftly. The little brat could really irritate me sometimes, "Have you not been listening to a word that I have said?"

"Sammy ow please Sammy ow Sammy I am so sorry Sammy please," Seth tried.

I was not holding back any of my strength I knew Seth could take it and I wanted him to know how serious I was, "What did I say Seth?"

"Ow Sammy Please!" Seth whined.

I shook my head and pulled down Seth's khaki shorts.

"Sammy no please!" he begged.

"You better answer me Seth or your boxers are coming off next," I warned.

"I don't know Sammy!" Seth whined. He shrieked when I pulled his boxers down too, "Wait I answered Sammy I answered!"

I kept it up not slowing down my pace for a second, "'I don't know' isn't good enough Seth why did I say we were disappointed in you?"

"B-because I put my life in danger," he answered.

"So?" I asked.

"So it would have b-been ow wrong for me to owww go, even if I knew we could take them," Seth said.

"And?" I asked.

"and I sh-should have called y-you," he answered.

"This is never going to happen ever again right?" I asked.

"Ow y-yes Sammy ow please Sammy it h-hurt so m-much," he sobbed.

I stopped and lifted him up, "Stay."

I went to the bathroom and grabbed Selena's wooden paddle brush and came back. I tried not to think too much about Seth's pleas. I could not let him get off easily with this one. I would make sure that he never put his life in danger ever again. Next time something like this happens, if it ever does, he will call me. I'm sure Jacob isn't going to go easy on Selena either. I sighed and took a deep breath before reentering Selena's bedroom, brush in hand.

Seth looked at me and I watched his expression change when he noticed that I was holding it. He tried unsuccessfully to back up but he got tangled in his shorts and almost fell before I caught him.

"No! Sammy no! He struggled against my grip and I did my best to steady both of us without him falling, "Damn it Seth hold still I am trying to help you!"

He stopped struggling and regained his balance, "Sammy please you can't, I'm sorry!"

I shook my head at him again, "I know you are but this is important and I am going to make sure you never do this again."

"But I won't Sammy I swear, please," he tried.

"Seth right now you are getting fifty, if you continue to fight me I will add more, now stop it," I warned.

"But Sam I-"

My eyes widened in amazement that even in this situation he still had the nerve to argue with me.

"Sixty," I said crossing my arms.

"Sammy!" He whined.

"Seventy," I said raising my eyebrow and daring him to continue.

"Okay! I'm sorry I'm done fighting I swear, please Sammy don't add any more," he finally agreed.

"Good," I said sitting back down and pulling Seth into the same position he was in a few minutes ago.

He was jumping with each swat and he kept apologizing but by thirty he finally gave in and just laid there. I gave him the last forty quickly and was probably as relieved as he was when it was finally over. I patted his back signaling to him that we were done and he stood up slowly pulling his clothes back up. He tried to wipe the years from his face as best as he could.

I stood up in front of him and waited patiently for him to collect himself, "I love you Seth don't you ever do that to us ever again do you hear me?"

He nodded and opened his arms. I quickly embraced him and stroked his hair, "it's okay all is forgiven."

He smiled and separated from me, "thank you."

"You're welcome, but I think I did forget to mention that you are grounded for a month," I grinned evilly.

He gave me his best pouty face but he couldn't help smiling back. I ruffled his hair and ran down the steps.

"Hey!" He yelled and he chased after me.

This time Emily was the one barking out the rules, "Hey guys Selena is sleeping! Quit running in the house!" She tried.

We both gave her pouty faces now and I went up and have her a quick kiss, "Sorry babe I guess we will just have to... run outside the house!" I finished quickly taking off.

Seth chased after me and I spun dodging him twice, "Whatcha gonna do pup? Huh? Huh?"

I froze when I saw Jacob walking out of the trees and Seth tackled me, "First rule of fighting, don't take your eyes off your opponent."

I smiled at him, "Really and what's the second?"

Before he could answer Jake knocked him over and started tickling him, "Be constantly alert and aware of your surroundings."
