Seth POV
The hunt turned out to be a bust, by the time they caught the scent of the vamp once again it was already long gone, far away from Quileute land.
"Damn it," Jake growled "I want double patrols for the next week Colin, Brady stay on patrol till midnight, Paul since you phased again you can take over patrol for them with the twins and give them some tracking lessons I want to get them trained up if we are going to have leaches running around,"
"Great baby-sitting the pups how fun," Pauls thought sarcastically "well if I'm on patrol tonight than I'm going to head home to Rachel,"
"God Paul, please I'm begging you don't go down that train of thought, epically when we have both shifted, I don't need to see that," Jake groaned out sometimes he got the feeling Paul lets these thoughts slip out just for a laugh.
"I got to agree with Jake, it's scaring," he thought shivering, these unwanted images seemed burned into my brain and I wanted them gone. "I'm going to head off too, I'll see you tomorrow at the Cullen's brunch," Seth thought Jake would probably be staying with Collin and Brady for a while longer just in case the vampire made a surprise return.
"Yea see you tomorrow," he thought as Seth phased out of wolf form, and headed for home.
As Seth entered the Cullen's glass mansion he was greeted by the excited squeals of Renesme, she jumped gracefully into his arms and pushed a doll into his face.
"Seth, look at the dolly Aunty Rose got me," she said holding up what looked to be the most expensive doll he had ever seen made from fine chins the dolls pasty white pace with marble eyes that seemed to follow your movements was kind of creepy.
"Wow that's pretty Ness," Seth said just wanting her to take the far away from him
"Ness why don't you go wash up lunch will be soon" Bella interrupted
"OK Mummy," Ness said skipping off to her room.
"How have you been Seth?" Bella asked
"I've been good," he replied it was sometime awkward for the two with their parents recent married they were kind of siblings now and it was taking some time to get use to and it wasn't that they didn't like each other because they did but they were finding a place to settle between friends and siblings, Seth had noticed since they became step siblings Bella has become slightly more protected of him and she has worked really hard to get on semi good terms with Leah and it has seemed to work so far.
"Come on Seth don't skim on the details, rumour has it that you got yourself a chick," Emmett asked never one to beat around the bush on a subject he obviously wanted the answer to. Seth looked towards Jake who was sitting on the couch he didn't even look sorry.
"Umm well," he was unsure how to reply to Emmett's comment.
"So when do we get to meet the girl huh," Emmett continued wiggling his eyebrows. He stopped when Rose appeared next to him and whispered to him.
"Play nice with the dog," she said and Emmett's grin just got wider if that was even possible and just gave her a hug,
"We won't be meeting the girl any time soon Emmett," Edward said having obviously read his mind and knew where he stood on bringing Lily here "she seems like a lovely girl," he continued.
"Don't hound the boy Emmett and it is OK we understand," Esme came into the room even though she was a vampire Seth thought Esme was one of the kindest persons he had ever met.
"I have a feeling we won't have to wait long, she's a smart girl and I can't wait to buy her some decent clothes," Alice announced entering the room holding Jaspers hand.
"You had a vision about her?" Seth questioned
"Multiple, it keeps on changing there seems to be too many factors to keep to one path," she put her hands to her head and rested against Jaspers embrace "and they are more blurry than any other visions about people I've had before,it's strange but not uncommon," she spoke looking towards Bella"
It was close to one thirty, lunch was as amazing as ever, Esme was a really great cook especially for someone who didn't even eat and there was plenty of food to go around since it was only himself, Jake and Nessie she would have blood once a week but the rest of the time it seemed like she could almost eat as much as us wolves. But right now with the food gone I just wanted to get to the beach, it felt like so long since he last saw Lily and even though it only take five to ten minutes in wolf form to get to the beach I couldn't help glancing at the clock every couple of seconds, Seth looked at his hands trying to be more respectful but how could he be expected to keep track of the conversations when Lily could be waiting for him at the beach any minute, sitting there all alone on the beach can be a very dangerous place and once again he glanced back up at the clock it had only been thirty seconds, sighing Seth slumped back into his chair.
"Go on Seth, you better go it seems like you have someone important to meet up with," Edward said he must have been hearing his inner turmoil, Seth didn't think he had been so happy to have his mind read.
"I promise next time I will stay for longer," he replied wasting no time getting up and heading for the door
"You're welcome back any time Seth," Esme said Seth nodded leaving.
"I want to hear all the juicy details," Emmett called out, he made the decision to ignore Emmett's childish behaviour because the thought of seeing Lily was all he could think of.
By the time Seth got to the beach he was happy that there was still a good ten minutes till two walking down the beach to the spot by a piece of drift log where they said they would meet and Seth almost had a heart attack seeing his red head beauty sitting on the log and his thoughts immediately went to overdrive how long had she waited, was she mad that he was late, was she cold? He quickened his pace the last couple of feet not wanting to keep her waiting any longer.
"Hi Lily," Seth greeted bashfully "sorry I'm late," he said taking a seat next to her on the log.
"Oh don't worry about it, I got here a little early, taking pictures," she said holding up her chunky black camera, though Seth was more focused on her face with her bright smile that reassured him that they were indeed fine.
"You like to take Photo's," Seth asked
"I love to take pictures, so I can look back on them when I'm older and think back to time like this, sitting on the shore of a beautiful beach with friend," Lily replied a joyful gleam in her eyes.
"That's really cool, you're going to have to show me some of the pictures you take soon," he said
"One day, maybe," she giggled "so on an average day what do you like to do," she questioned.
"Usually I help my friend Jake out at his garage fixing up cars, things like that," it was something he truly loved that didn't involve running around in wolf form and when he finished school next year he planned to work there.
"I know nothing about Cars, guess you may need to teach me some things about that," she joked.
"That can be arranged," Seth said smiling at the idea. "So what are doing tomorrow?" he continued.
"Me and Hugo are going to go hiking in the forest,"
"Really, are you sure, it can be very dangerous in there with all the wild animals you know," he hated the idea of Lily wandering through the forest without any protection and
"I'm a big girl Seth I can take care of myself and I will have Hugo with me, we always look out for each other and I know about the wild animals I saw this overgrown wolf a couple of days ago,"
"I really don't think you should go," Seth insisted not letting it go
"Seth I don't let anyone tell me what I can and can't do. I get that you care and it is really sweet, but I'm going on this hike tomorrow Ok," Lily replied slightly harsh.
"Ok, I'm sorry it's just I don't want to see you hurt," Lily was not nearly as indestructible as him and that scared him and he hated the idea of her being in the forest only days afte catching a vampire scent but he knew he had no right to tell her what she can and can't do.
"And you won't, you just have to trust me when I tell you I will be perfectly safe," she looking into his eyes as if she would find the answer there.
"I will, promise, so are we good," Seth asked hoping that his slight pushiness hadn't scared her off.
"Perfect," she said smiling the most amazing smile he had ever seen.
