A/N: Not like you asked but I just wanted to announce that I'm officially a High School graduate! Which is basically why I'm posting this earlier than expected, but then again, you didn't ask.

Aside from that, this chapter is kind of a filler but kinda not... lol. Though this may not be what you wanted to see, reviews will help me help you get to the next chapter right away, which is THE ONE I'm sure you guys wanna see...

Chapter 7

Alone with Another

Because Seth Clearwater imprinted on you. Because Seth Clearwater imprinted on you. Because Seth Clearwater imprinted on you. This was the only thing ringing in my head for about an entire minute, taking me a while to process.

This means... this means I have a mate?

"Callie?" Emmett waved his hand before my face.

I snapped out of it and darted my eyes to Edward. I lunged for him, making the couch topple backwards.

I straddled him and grabbed the collar of his shirt, shaking him vigorously.

"You knew this whole time and didn't tell me?! What kind of a freaking brother are you?!" I shouted and shook him harder, but then Emmett and Carlisle pulled me back. I thrashed in their hold, then visibly relaxed as Jasper worked his powers on me again.

"I wasn't sure if I should have told you." Edward stood, straightening his shirt. "Especially if I knew this was going to happen."

My eyes blazed. "I'm mad because you didn't tell me!" I thrashed again, trying to grab at him.

"You told me not to tell you!"

"Then I told you to tell me!"

"She's too angry, Edward. I can't control her." Jasper said with a grunt.

"She's a lot stronger than we thought." Emmett said, struggling to hold my arm and restrain me.

"I'm gonna kill you!" I screamed, continuing to thrash. Who cares if I looked ridiculous? Keeping me in the dark and making me feel miserable! I'll show him who should be miserable!

"Please relax, Callie. Please." Carlisle pleaded. "Just take a few deep breaths."

I obliged, and managed to calm down within minutes. Emmett and Carlisle slowly released me, and my feet fell flat on the ground gently.

I gave Edward a hard look. "I can't believe you kept this from me. Especially knowing how I felt."

He sighed. "I thought it was for your own good."

"How?!" I asked.

He raised an arm, as if demonstrating. "They're our worst enemies! They're the worst! They're werewolves!"

I gave him a WTF look. "Just their being isn't enough justification to say they're the worst! It's like how humans are afraid of us when they have no reason to be!" I started, then turned my back on him and looked through the glass wall facing the forest. "Do you know what this means?" I asked, full of hope in my face. "I have a mate."

"But Callie, maybe Edward had a point." Alice said.

"You're on his side?!" I asked, my hope shattering.

"Woah, since when were there sides?" Emmett asked. Esme tried to but in, but decided against it, unsure of what to do.

"Alice, we were just talking earlier and you were telling me that the time will come! That time is now, and you're siding with Edward?!" I raised my voice.

"Callie, they're our mortal enemies." She tried to reason. "I wasn't expecting something this out of proportion to happen when I said that."

"Well, I have a confession to make." I said, and they all listened in. "Seth is my singer." I admitted.

They all froze.

"Yeah, that's right." I said tauntingly.

"How could you be attracted to an odor like that?" Jasper asked bluntly, his usual Southern gentleman persona set aside for the matter.

"Hey, no judgements." Carlisle warned.

I threw him a nasty look.

"Callie, I think Edward was just trying to do what was best." Rose spoke up, and Emmett nodded in agreement.

I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. My jaw dropped and I felt tears pooling in my eyes.

"What Rosalie is trying to say is that it's best that we leave some time for it first. We're talking about the commune of two completely different things, Callie." Carlisle said, touching my shoulder.

I shrugged him off. "Why does it have to be like that? Why-why do we have to be so black and white? Edward's dating a mortal human, for God's sake! At least Seth is immortal." I tried reasoning. "...sorta."

"Callie," Carlisle reached out for me, but I took a step back, shaking my head.

I sniffled. "I can't believe this. All of you are hypocrites."

"Callie, don't-" Rosalie started.

I took more steps back. "I can't..." I took short breaths, then looked to Esme. "Mom?" I asked if she was on my side.

She looked at me, then at Carlisle, then at me again. "Callie, love, let's think-"

Now I felt like I'd been punched, hit, and tossed in a ditch all at once.

Even my mom wasn't with me.

I choked on a sob, finding it hard to breathe.

"I hate all of you." I said, as low as I could make it. It was barely a whisper, but the silence spoke more volumes than if I'd have said it any louder. Their faces...

"Callie, please-" Esme started.

"My happiness counts, too." I started, my voice cracking in my throat. I wiped a stray tear with the back of my hand hastily.

"We weren't saying that it doesn't-" Carlisle said in a higher pitch than his usual calm.

I took more steps back, shaking my head again. "No, no, no, see, I can read what you're all thinking, for heaven's sake, and you're all thinking the same thing." I let the tears fall. "I hate all of you. You know, at least your mortal girlfriend thought I should know." I took the charm bracelet they gave me and removed Bella's, throwing the rest to the ground. "Keep your stupid bracelet full of lies."

I ran to the door and opened it, letting the cold night air engulf me, welcoming me into its chilly arms.

I ran.

And ran, and… ran.

I didn't care where to, I just did, and put on my mental shield so Edward couldn't track me.

And yet I sensed Emmett and Edward following me by my scent, so I ran as fast as I could towards the border.

Within short minutes, the other side came to my sights, an unexplored world of mystery which was commonly called the "Rez". All that was stopping me was of course, the little gorge between the two lands.

And when I reached it, I jumped. (I was surprised I made it through, in complete honesty.)

No. Their thoughts basically read, and I didn't even bother to look back, landing in an unstable crouch from which I propelled myself to go even further.

I held the tiny dream catcher close to my chest and pushed. This was one hell of a nightmare I wanted to rid of.

My anger fuelled my run.

Sam Uley had some explaining to do.
