Seth's POV

Where is she? I growled.

Seth, calm down. We will find her, Sam thought.

Every time I looked for Arielle, I was completely unaware of the audience in my head.

What if we don't Sam? I whined, digging my paws into the ground harder as I searched for the leeches scent.

The pack winced in unison at the thought of my pain over losing Arielle. They would all feel my pain. But it couldn't happen. I wouldn't let it happen. I had to find her.

Seth, chill dude. We will find her if it's the last thing we do, Jared promised.

I heard Sam howl, a signal and an order to the rest of the pack to switch patrols. I hadn't switched patrols since three days ago.

Yeah, we know Seth, Leah thought sadly. Maybe you should go get some rest. You won't find Arielle faster if you are sleep deprived.

Leah has been relatively sympathetic with me over Arielle's absence. Although she was a little bit pissed off that she had to patrol so much, and rightfully so, she was always with me, no matter where it was. At home or on patrol for three days straight, she never left my side.

Another reason that I would like to find Arielle and kill that leech; I need to sleep, Leah tried to joke with me.

Leah, enough, Sam ordered. He knew I was in no mood to joke.

Truth was that I didn't want to sleep. Every time I slept, I dreamt of Tyler hurting Arielle like he had before she moved. Only this time it was worse. So bad in fact, that in several of my dreams, he turned her into a vampire.

Every time she was changed in my dream, I woke up sweating, stuck with a haunting image; Arielle, with bright red eyes and pale, flawless skin.

That won't happen Seth, Sam reassured me. Only I had a gut feeling that it would.

I had gotten a letter from her this morning. How Tyler got it to us without one of the guys on patrol finding him, I will never know. I must have read the letter fifty times.

Seth Alexander Clearwater,

I don't know what to say to you. It's been about 8 days since we last saw each other, and it seems like eternity. As of right now, I don't know what is going to happen. I know that when Tyler told me to write you a note, and then proceeded to give me this piece of paper and pen, it was for a reason.

I am going to try and make it last.

Tyler told me that he plans on changing me, and then is taking me away. I take it that means wherever we are going is far away from you. He says his friend can predict the powers of future vampires, and that mine is going to be "kick ass." Apparently I will have the power to control the four elements. He also wants my strength as a newborn, for who knows what.

I'm sure you already know, but Tyler can hide his scent. And mine if he chooses. It's going to make it a lot harder for you to find me, especially when he changes me. I hope you found my necklace though. It hurt me to leave it behind, but I left it as a clue to you.

You told me once before that the process of being changed is very painful, but after what he has put me through during the past two weeks, who knows how I will take it.

I realize I am writing all over the place, but I just don't want to face the facts. I only have one piece of paper, and I am trying to make the best of it without crying too hard.

Up until a few weeks ago, I would have laughed at the thought of a soul mate. I was happy being alone, but obviously, fate had different ideas.

When we first met, feelings that I didn't know existed stirred in my heart. I unexplained desire to know you better and a burning hope that I made a good impression.

For some, love doesn't occur in an instant. Even I used to think that love took some time to grow, especially the kind that we have now. But obviously I was wrong. Ours is a love for the ages; a true love at first sight.

Being with you is comfort, love, security, contentment, passion and happiness, all rolled into one. I will never forget the feeling of even just being in the same room as you. Every minute we spent together was meaningful, even if we didn't say a word.

I am going to fight my hardest Seth, but if it's not enough, please don't blame yourself.

Despite the fact that we may never see each other again, I love you. More than you will ever know. I always will.

Sam, Seth, I caught a scent! Embry shouted as he showed us all the image of where he was through the mind link.

With the last of my energy, I dug my nails into the loose soil and shot myself forward.

Seth, calm down, I lost the track after a few miles. He was probably trying to fool us anyway.

When I got to where Embry was, my breath caught and I collapsed.

Seth!

What the hell happened?

I whimpered in response to Leah and Sam's worried thoughts. There, lying in front of me was the locket that I gave Arielle the day before she disappeared.

I whined, howled, and cried for what seemed like days before I shifted back and lay, clutching the necklace, on the forest floor. I barely felt anything as Sam and Leah brought me home and placed me in my bed.

"I'll find her." I muttered, still clutching the necklace.

"I know you will Seth." Leah agreed, throwing a comforter over me as I fell asleep thinking about how I was going to tear that leech piece by piece.

"Seth, please help me. Don't let him hurt me anymore." Arielle whimpered.

"I won't, Arielle, I promise." I said looking around the dark room for her.

When I finally spotted her, I gasped at the sight before me; Arielle was hunched in the corner of the room, covered from head to toe in bruises, cuts, dirt, and blood. Her hair was tangled and matted in blood, and it looked like she hadn't eaten.

"I'm going to kill him." I whispered. "I'm going to kill him."

"Seth, wake up." I heard Leah's voice, weary and tired.

I opened my eyes and saw her looking down at me.

"What the hell happened?" I asked, stretching my muscles, only to find that they hurt like hell.

"We've been sleeping for roughly a day now from what I can tell. You found some necklace and fell asleep clutching it for dear life. When Sam and I brought you back, he tried to take it so that you wouldn't break it, but I swear you tried to bite his arm off." She laughed sadly.

"I refused to leave you, so I grabbed a sleeping bag and have been sleeping on your floor. I only woke up because you were sobbing and yelling 'I'm going to kill him.' Not that I don't agree, but I woke you up because I didn't think mom would appreciate you killing anyone."

"I have to find her Leah." I whispered, running my hand through my hair.

"I know." She said, sitting on the edge of my bed. She leaned over and wrapped her arms around me comfortingly. It was a little awkward; I wasn't used to comfort, let alone hugs, from Leah.

Suddenly, Emilee wandered into my mind. I wonder if she would be able too . . . no. Definitely not.

But what if she could?

Review guys! You know it makes me write faster :)
