Lily POV
Lily looked at Hugo and together they both stepped out from behind the rock, they had been caught though Lily kept her head held high determined not to show these strangers how nervous she really was, and it didn't help matters that she could feel the stare of the boy with the nice smile he just looked at her with his mouth slightly open as if he had just found out some amazing discovery and it slightly unnerved her. Hugo seemed to pick up on the guy staring at her and he didn't seem too fond of it.
"Hi I'm Lily and that my cousin Hugo," after another moment of deafening silence one of the boys spoke up.
"Hey, I'm Embry, you're not from around here are you?"
"no we aren't, we are from England, me and Hugo are staying with our Aunt who lives on the reservation, we decided to go for a swim since it's such a nice day and apparently you don't get a lot of that around here. We saw you guys jumping of the cliff and we were wondering what that's about," Lily said
"We were cliff diving, you want a go?" Alec asked he looked younger than her and she thought he was trying to be smooth but was failing miserably.
"No we were just curious" Hugo spoke up before Lily could say anything.
"The water is starting to get a bit rough too it wouldn't be a good idea anyway" Embry said glaring at Alec as if he should have known that "Well maybe we well see you around but we have to head off now" he said politely but Lily got the feeling that these guys didn't want anything to do with them, well maybe with the exception of the guy that was staring at her. Lily was starting to feel self-conscious under his gaze pushing a strand of her curly hair behind her ear. All the guys were turning to leave but the guy that was staring at her finally spoke up.
"You could come have lunch with us, Emily makes so much food and she loves to have visitors," the boy practically begged at that all the other guys turned to stare incredulously at him.
"Seth" Embry scolded giving the guy who she now knew was Seth as shove, that seemed to break him out of whatever weird trance he was in and now he was smiling, a bright honest smile and had a determined glint in his eye.
"We only just met and I can show you round the reservation," Lily thought that offer seemed to be directed more at her than Hugo, and off course Hugo notice that too she could tell from the glare on his face as he looked at the sand at his feet.
"Sorry we can't our aunt wants us back for lunch," Hugo lied "actually we should be heading back now, come on Lily," Hugo continued in a voice that she hew meant he was serious and wanting to just go along with him, But when she looked into Seth's eyes that was the only thing she could think was that she actually did want to see this muggle boy again as Hugo started to dragged her away from the beach, Seth moved quickly closing the gap between them with three quick strides and held out his hand.
"I'm Seth Clearwater," he said his eyes not leaving her face.
Lily smiled and looked down as she replied "Lily, Lily Potter, nice to meet you Seth, but I better get going Hugo really wants to leave. The reservation is quite small I'm sure we will see each other again wont we?" Lily asked she couldn't seem to make herself leave without the assurance that she would see him again.
"Definitely," Seth said with such confidence that Lily couldn't help but believe him. releasing the grip on her hand Seth walked backwards to where his friend were standing staring at him like he had grown another head but he didn't see there looks because he hadn't taken his eyes off her and she could still feel the him staring at her back as she left the beach with Hugo by her side. In the corner of her eye Lily could see Hugo give her a strange look.
"What," she said defensively
"Eventually you are going to have to tell me what was going on there," was all he said and for the rest of the way back to Aunt Andromeda house they were silent, Lily thoughts were muddled and all seemed to lead back to Seth's smiling face, she would tell Hugo everything of course the only problem she herself didn't know what was going on.
Seth POV
"Seth what the hell man," Embry said when Lily and her cousin were a safe distance away "Why would you invite some random kids and outsiders at that into Emily's home we don't even know them and with all the wolves and vampires coming and going from there, you could be putting those kids in danger," he continued to rant while Seth just kept staring at Lily Potters retreating figure he didn't care, Lily was his imprint and she would meet the pack eventually and the Cullen's too. Esme is going to want to meet her, although the idea for her in a room full of vampires sent a shiver of fear down his spine, but after thinking that Seth felt a little guilty but she was his imprint and it was his job to keep her safe and he was sure the Cullen's would understand his fears and be on their best behaviour.
"Seth Hello are you listening to me," Embry Said realising that Seth must have stopped listening to him a while back but before he could answer he heard a comment that made his blood boil.
"she is kind of cute and the accent is hot," Alec was saying Seth growled at that comment Alec had no right to talk about her like that letting out a louder rumbling growl he wanted to make sure Alec understood he would not tolerate any comments like that about Lilly.
"What's your problem Seth," Alec said, he gulped not seeming to be able to find the words to describe what just happened, but he didn't need too because Embry had seen Quill imprint and had spent a lot more time with the imprinted wolves that any of the others here.
"Did you... did you just imprint on her" Embry asked and all Seth could do was nod in response hearing it out loud made it so much more real and final.
"Maybe we should head back to Emily's, he looks like he is about to faint" Collin piped up as he scrutinized Seth as if he thought he was going to see a completely different person but all he was seeing was a very pale Seth
"yea your right" Embry said clapping Seth on the back then he led he group at a run into the forest to phase it wasn't until everyone had hit the treeline that Seth finely was able to make himself move and ran to catch up with his other pack members, hopefully Alec will control his thoughts better than he usually dose because his emotions were all over the place right now and a part of him wouldn't mind taking a bite out of Alec.
It took half an hour longer to make the five minute trip in wolf form to Sam and Emily's and it was because Alec couldn't help himself but think some inappropriate thoughts about Lily and his only excuse was that he had a thing for red heads which fired Seth anger at him from simmering to over the edge blind rage and because Seth had the three year advantage in age it was in his favour from the beginning, although Alec did manage to get in a number of slashes and bites on Seth's arms and Face but the pack had agreed that Seth came out on top.
After Embry broke up the Scrap He told Alec to go do some patrol loops for a couple hours till Colin and Brady take their shift and told Seth to Phase so he couldn't hear the thoughts of what Alec imagined about his imprint. So now he could walk the rest of the way to Emily's.
Seth took his time Strolling through the forest glad to be alone with his thoughts giving him a chance to get his priorities straight, and when he got to the house everyone was there besides Alec who was still out running Patrol, even the imprints were there including Nessie who was playing dolls with five year old Clare, although Clare was born before Nessie but people wouldn't guess since she looked to be about nine years of age right now. Seth couldn't help but picture Lilly coming to these Pack get together and becoming friends with the other imprints.
"Hey Seth I Just herd you got in a fight with one of the pups, what happened to that awesome self-control," Paul teased.
"Paul Shut up," Sam growled, then looking at Seth his face softened "so I heard you may have imprinted," he asked cautiously.
"No maybe about it," Seth said with certainty at that moment his cousin Emily came running out the door and rapped him up in a tight hug.
"I can't believe you imprinted, you're so young, tell me who the girl is, what's she like?" Emily threw question after question at him without giving him a chance to answer and he swore that her face was starting to go blue from lack of oxygen but luckily Sam came to his rescue and got Emily to let go of him but she still looked at him expectantly
"Well, her name is Lily Potter she is from England and is staying with her aunt here on the reservation, she's short, has long auburn hair and the most amazing chocolate brown eyes" he said
"she sounds wonderful Seth I'm really happy for you" that seemed to be everyone's cue to also congratulate him being the first to imprint in over two years they were right a little shocked that happened, and as everyone slowly headed for the lounge and table where lunch was being served Seth noticed that Jacob hadn't left his spot in the corner of the deck just watching him with a frown on his face. Being the last two left outside Seth went over to Jake he wanted to get his opinion on what happened.
"You think Leah will be pissed when she find out that the one weekend she doesn't come home is the one when I imprint," Seth said casually leaning against the railing.
"If you have to ask that then you don't know your sister all that well," Jake said smirking at the idea of how Leah would react.
"So you've been pretty quiet about the whole thing," Seth said not wanting to beat around the bush. At that comment Jake let out an almost defeated sigh which Seth didn't like to hear he care a lot about Jake's opinions, after all he was his alpha and almost a brother and he didn't like the idea of Jake not liking his imprint a girl he hadn't even met yet.
"You're a good kid Seth, and imprinting can be very challenging, I just don't want to see you get hurt that kind of pain is just unbearable,"
"First of all I'm not a Kid anymore I will be eighteen soon and secondly what makes you think I'm going to get hurt I mean this girl is my imprint, we were meant for each other," Seth replied defensively
"You'll always be a kid to me," Jake said giving him a shove before continue "The only imprinted couple that has not had complications was Jared and Kim and I think yours is going to be as messy as everyone else's"
"What! Why would you say that," Seth said slightly angry
"Calm down, I'm only saying this because I want you to know what you are getting into, make sure your prepared. This girl Lily how long will she be here for," Seth was confused by what Jake was implying what possible reason Lily would have to go anywhere. Seeing Seth didn't understand Jake explained further.
"She's from England isn't she, so I can only guess but wouldn't she eventually go back, what I'm saying is take it slow, it is going to be hard enough for you if she leaves and even worse if you fell for her, none of us fully understand why imprinting happens but sometime maybe your just meant to be their friend it may not always have to turn into more," Seth frowned at Jake's words he didn't like it and left a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"Just promise me you will think about it," Jake asked Seth just nodded in response.
He felt Jake pat his shoulder before he went inside leaving Seth alone with his thoughts the idea of his imprint living half way around the world it was terrifying to think about he was going to have to ask her about it next time he saw her. Seth may have only just met the girl but he knew he didn't want her to be with anyone but himself, sighing he walked inside to join the chaos of his extended family before they ate all the food.
