"Move! Get out of my way you fucking bastard!" Jacob gripped his side and gritted his teeth as he tried to make it past Edward.

The vampire stood completely still with an annoyed expression on his pale face. Jake was trying his hardest to bare the pain of his bruised ribs as he struggled to get through the door.

"You are in no condition to be doing this you know."

"Screw you! What happened?! Where's Seth?!" Jacob pushed himself off Edward's chest and sneered. "I heard you! You told Alice to grab him! I heard the noises downstairs! She better keep her filthy hands off my son!"

The vampire crossed his arms and scanned the other man's face. He hummed and seemed to be glaring at Jacob who rolled his eyes.

Eventually Edward cleared his throat. "So you don't know."

"Know what?"

"Seth's transformation." He stated clearly. "He got out and Alice went after him." He tapped his dress shoes against the floor and quickly pulled out his phone. "Your son is a fast one. Alice should have been back by now." He said, clearly annoyed.

Jacob pressed his lips together and breathed heavily, shaking a bit. "He...he turned into a wolf? He turned?" He looked at the pale creature in front of him.

"What else could I mean? Hush now." He pushed his stone cold hand against Jake's mouth and pushed him towards the bed where the Native plopped down on, flinching from his ribs.

"I have to make a phone call. Stay." He ordered, patting Jacob on the head as if he were some kind of pet. It pissed the man off, face becoming red with anger. He tried his best to ignore the ignorance of Edward and instead focused on the idea of his son escaping.

It made Jake feel multiple things at once. He was happy that Seth managed to run from this place, but based on what Edward said, was he okay? The vampire seemed annoyed when he mentioned his sister not returning. Was she torturing his son?! Was she trying to kill him?!

The idea alone made his stomach drop. He could only imagine what was happening to Seth right now. It scared him shitless.

Jake's eyes burned as his chest tightened. He squeezed his eyes shut and shuddered. He wasn't sure how much more he could take. The Native hadn't seen Seth in days. Now he was gone with a vampire hot on his tail.

I can't believe Seth turned. How is that even possible? How is my 14 year old son going to fight off these manipulating vampires? Why did he become a wolf in the first place? Sam said that you have to embrace what you'll soon be. Embrace everything that comes with it. The culture, the history, everything. When had Seth ever done that?

Had Jacob missed it? Had he not been paying attention?

He tried to rack his brain for any memory to help him figure this out. One came to mind.

Seth was way more interested in learning about our language than I was. He also loves wolves but could that be related to the same thing? Did he change because he was more open about his own culture than I was?

Jacob started to feel a bit bad. Maybe he could have shifted too. But he was use to his way of life. If you could have called it that. He had forgotten everything behind. He didn't even make an attempt at trying to read the book Sam had given him. No. Instead he tried to have sex with the man!

He blushed red and tried to push that thought away.

It was too much.

I'm trapped here while my son is who knows where with that asshole Alice. I miss Sam like fucking crazy. I have no clue what's happening and I feel so lost!

Jake took a few breaths but ended up crying despite trying to avoid it. He wanted to scream and thrash around, but that would only make things worse. But...what would make it better?

Please be okay Seth. I love you. I really do.

"Let me go! I won't ever come back, just let me go!" Alice tried pulling free from the sharp fangs that held her in place while digging into her shoulder. She hissed in pain and kicked her feet when Emily took the vampire's other shoulder into her mouth, sinking her teeth into the marble-like flesh.

"Goddamnit! What the fuck do you want?!" She growled to the wolves surrounding her. Her once expensive clothing was torn to pieces on her body. She looked a mess as her pixie-like hair was in disarray. There was a crazed look in her dark red eyes as she gritted her own fangs and tried to stay still. She watched carefully as the wolves looked at one another and seemed to be focused on something.

Alice was becoming impatient the longer she stayed there with two wolves clamping down on her shoulders. One of the wolves, a black one with strange colored eyes stepped forward and sneered at her. He licked his lips and dug his sharp claws in the soft dirt underneath him.

Alice raised her head and prepared herself. She wasn't sure what she was preparing herself for but she wasn't sure what else to do at that moment.

Her eyes widened when the huge wolf morphed into the shape of a man. She wasn't sure who it was really but she guessed it was Sam Uley. The one Edward and Jasper had mentioned. Jacob's mate.

She snickered and watched as he pulled on a pair of cutoff jeans. He glared at her and stepped closer. Alice took notice of the other's also moving closer at the exact same time when Sam did.

"Where's Jacob?" He snarled, never taking his grey and brown mixture of eyes away from her blood ones.

Alice stayed silent for a moment, glancing around at the forest and creatures that never stopped watching her.

She snickered again at Sam. "What's in it for me? I'm too beautiful to die so young." She smiled.

"We're not playing games leech. Tell me where he is."

"This has nothing to do with me anyway. You don't want me, you want my two idiot brothers. I didn't want to be apart of this."

"Then why were you chasing after Seth? It's your fucking coven that's done this. You're all going to pay. Starting with you if you don't tell me where he is."

Alice looked the Native up and down. "You need me alive if you want to know where Jakey is."

Sam balled his fist and gripped her ice cold hand in his opposite one. He squeezed at it as hard as he could, making their temperatures mix with one another's. It caused both creatures to cry out. To Alice it felt as if her whole hand were on fire, never letting up. To Sam it was as if he stuck his hand in an ice bucket of freezing water that he couldn't escape from.

The alpha gritted his teeth and quickly pulled out a lighter from his pocket. It was an order from him for the pack to carry one at all times. It was well known that vampires needed fire to finish them off.

Alice glanced at the lighter in Sam's hand and struggled to get away, but to no avail. She was trapped and if she pulled any harder, she'd lose both her arms.

"Don't! DON'T!" The small woman yelled. If her undead heart were still able to beat, she'd be giving herself a heart attack right now.

The alpha paused what he was doing and gave her a chance to speak.

"I don't wish to be apart of this anymore. But if I tell you where Jacob is, then I'll die either way. My brothers will think of me as a traitor. I'll be in danger. They have powers as well as I do. If I tell you where Jacob is, who's to say you won't kill me right after? I swear I didn't harm him. I didn't."

Sam couldn't tell whether the leech was telling the truth. He honestly didn't care if the small vampire died. She was apart of the kidnapping. She had to be. Nothing would redeem her from that. Nothing. But he had to play along. For now at least.

Sam kept quiet for a few seconds, causing Alice to become extremely uncomfortable. She tried begging with her eyes, but all the alpha could see was the many innocent lives she took and how that could have been either Seth or Jacob.

"You show us where he is and on the way, you tell us everything you know. If I think you're hiding something from me, I'll burn your face off and end you slowly. I want to make it as painful as possible." He leaned closer to her, causing Alice to shake as he drew the lighter close to her porcelain perfect face. The heat emitting from the flame warmed her cheek as she tried to move her head out of it's way.

"Y-you have to promise that you'll let me go! I didn't hurt them! I'm a victim too! They'll kill me when we get there! You have to protect me!"

"Shut your fucking mouth. You don't get to decide."

Alice shook more as she squeezed her eyes shut and dry sobbed. It was the closest her kind could get to crying.

"Please! Please don't let me die. I won't ever step foot here again. Ever!"

"If you give us all the information we need, you have my word. We'll let you free."

The wolves surrounding them started to growl and paw harshly at the ground, shouting at their alpha in wolf tongue.

Sam held up a hand and ordered for them all to stay silent.

Reluctantly, they all dug their claws in the soft dirt to keep from lashing out at the bleach smelling leech. The only thing worse than the stench was the taste. Emily and Jared wanted to gag but each kept their composure for the pack. It would have been worse to let the pixie run loose.

Alice was shocked that Sam had even suggested such a thing but she would take it if it meant living.

"I-I prom-!"

"You don't speak unless I say so." Sam growled, nearly spitting in her face and causing her to flinch.

He backed away slowly, never taking his eyes off her.

"One wrong move and you're done. We don't need you. Remember that. It'd be too easy to discard your remains once we're finished. You'll also explain what you mean by powers."

Alice watched him carefully, not daring to open her mouth as he transformed back into the huge black wolf she met him as.

He used his snout to point in the direction her and Seth came from, but when Alice stood there still, Sam wacked her in the stomach with his large paw to get her to move.

She got the idea and slowly started to walk as fast as she could with two wolves clamping down on her shoulders. Venom pooled in her eyes, stinging a bit as it slid down her cheeks.

Sam stood directly behind her, leaving her no room to escape if possible. He barked for Alice to move faster. He needed his Jacob safe.

Seth nipped at Paul's paws and tried to wiggle himself under the warmth of the bigger wolf. Sam ordered Paul and Paul only to take care of Seth while the rest of the pack handle the leeches.

The two of them had yelped and barked at each other. Paul wanting to be apart of the fight and protect the people close to him. Sam wanting Paul to keep his imprint close and away from the bloodsuckers who could have tortured the poor boy. The wolves weren't really sure as Seth's mind was too jumbled to focus on one thing.

Sam's argument was that Seth had went through who knows what and the last thing he needed was being in the middle of it all. It would be too much, especially with Alice being there.

Paul eventually agreed to what his alpha was saying and stayed behind, pulling Seth away from everyone. It was difficult to calm the pup down at first. It was also difficult for Paul as well to calm himself when he saw Seth for the first time in a long time. Sam had to shove him back and order his second in command to stay while he comforted the small cub. Leah was still limping from when Seth had landed on top of her when he fell from the cliff. The fall had saved him though. Alice was close to snatching the young wolf by the throat at the time.

The minute she saw the large beasts she tried to make a run for it.

Jared flanked her right while Emily flanked her left. Embry trotted behind the small woman, snapping his canines her way. Alice stumbled as she tried to desperately jump out of the wolves way, but the two on both sides shot towards her and caught the stone vampire with their fangs. Embry had even scratched and bit at her back, tearing her jacket and shirt.

Being attacked by such vicious beast trying to tear her apart was wearing Alice down. She cursed her brothers and Seth for escaping in the first place. It was like she was a rag doll and they couldn't figure out how to share her.

A loud growl echoed in the woods, but Alice could barely hear it in the first place. The three dogs above her were busy yelping and barking in her ear. But the noise caused them to immediately stop and hold her down with their huge paws, pressing into her chest and legs. Once the wolves 'talked' among themselves it was decided that Alice would be used for bait.

The pack were extremely shocked to run into an unknown wolf, but once they found out it was Seth who shifted, they all became ecstatic. The poor pup couldn't understand the many voices and sounds he was hearing or what he was seeing either. Huge wolves that towered over him that just kept getting closer. He had tried to sneak past to continue getting away from Alice but he had bumped into the biggest of them all. It was extremely hard to make out what was in front of him. A mixture of grey and brown eyes stared into him, making Seth feel smaller than he was. But the voice that came from the dark form was a very familiar one. This voice was easy to understand and drowned out the others. It comforted the cub, licked at his face and picked him up by the scruff of his neck, telling him that he'd be okay, and to come with one of the other animals that surrounded him. This other wolf was familiar as well.

This wolf that was coming towards him eagerly, took him by the scruff of his neck too when the larger one of the two had finally put him down.

Seth whined and whimpered, but quickly fell silent when this new wolf took him away from the scene behind them. Whoever or whatever this creature was, had put the boy at ease.

Now Paul was curled around his imprint as he listened carefully to the words he spoke. Usually Sam, being the alpha, would tell new members the whole run-down of what this new experience meant for them, but he had other business to take care of at the moment. Now that responsibility fell on Paul.

Seth was freaked out of course but soon began to understand and found it to be fun and cool to being able to turn into a wolf. He loved them afterall and still held that childlike mentality. It excited him even more to know that some of his favorite people were also wolves just like him. As if he needed another reason to be attached to Paul.

The boy had many questions and bombarded Paul with all of them. Which the man didn't mind in the slightest. He answered every single one, but when Seth asked about his father, Paul came up short on an answer and licked at the pup's muzzle for comfort.

We'll find him puppy. We will. Sam is taking care of it and so are the others.

I didn't mean to leave daddy. Will he be mad at me?

No way pup. He's probably glad you got away when you did.

Seth wagged his tail and pressed his ears down flat against his head.

I'm tired...can I sleep now Paul?

Of course puppy. I'll keep you warm. You sleep. I'll watch over you.

Okay. Goodnight Paul.

Goodnight little cub.

The two creatures nuzzled one another. Seth tried to slip underneath Paul to hide away from the world. It of course didn't bother the man. He lifted his upper half so that the teen could lay down while he laid his head on Seth who slowed his breathing. That was the thing about imprints. They were everything you needed them to be.
