Hey guys. So here is another story. I've decided that updating my stories are going to slow down because not many are bothering reading let alone reviewing. :(

So I've got in my head a number and when I reach that many reviews I will post again. I'm not been a bitch I'm being realistic. This chapter alone took me half a day and yes it's for me but I share it with you guys. So a little love would be appreciated.

I own nothing.

Chapter 5

Heathcliff threw his bags on the floor looking around the small room. There was just two double size beds a desk and a television. Connected was a small bathroom. His bedroom was bigger at Jasper's and not much bigger than his and Ephraim's room back home. Pulling out his cell phone he called his brother. Normally he turned to his mother when his father was being unreasonable but right now both his parents were.

"Hey you've reached Ephraim. I can't take your call right now. Leave me your number and I'll get back to you when I can."

"Eph its Heath. Mom and dad are trying to make me move all cos dad doesn't like Jasper. Dude you gotta help me out... I'm calling in my favor." Heathcliff ended the call and threw himself on the bed. It was late already and he still had classes the next day.

Ephraim Black waved to his band mates as he staggered out the door a easy pick up in his arms. Ever since they had left La-Push the band had gotten itself groupies. Where the band went so did they. Ephraim wondered why these rich kids parents allowed them to do it but he was happy they did. He always had a bed to sleep in courtesy of them. One girl even managed to keep him interested for a few months but when she started getting jealous of him talking to real fans he blew her off. Three days later he was onto his next one.

"You sounded great tonight."

"Don't I always Kell's?"

"My name is Kendra."

"I knew that."

"Asshole. Niki warned me about you." she pushed him away from her and hailed a taxi.

"Hey where you going?"

"Not where you are." she jumped in the cab and left him swaying on the side of the road.

"Well shit." he chuckled to himself. "Probably got crabs anyway," he yelled at the departing cab.

Ephraim was getting sick of being on the road. He missed his family not that he would ever admit it to himself. Day after day they were on the road and night after night playing some seedy club. Whatever the band earned they spent it on drugs or booze. If it hadn't been for his baby brother Ephraim would be probably dead. He stopped taking drugs a couple of years back and even though he tried to stop his band mates they wouldn't listen. The band was slowly falling apart and there wasn't anything he could do about it.

"Fuck," he said trying to remember where the rest of the band were staying.

Dreams of making it big had started out great but as time went on they seemed to have lost their chance of getting noticed. Sure people were loving them on Youtube but that wasn't making them any money. Not now anyway in the beginning it brought fans to the gigs but they were now few and far between. Ephraim was going to quit the band when they got to New York and try and go solo. He was the voice of the band and hoped to find a decent manager not the small town hick one they had.

He had the bands fee, getting paid in cash from door sales that night. It wasn't much but it was enough to get him a hotel for the night at least. Walking a few more blocks he came across a seedy looking motel and booked himself a room. The guy didn't ask questions and suggested he didn't sleep without both eyes closed, when he saw the wad of cash Ephraim had on him. He may have been a rez boy but he wasn't stupid. He could look after himself and knew when to listen to people when he had to.

The room smelt of stale smoke and god knows what. Looking at the bed he stripped it and flipped the mattress over before laying down. Next door he could hear a couple going for it and would have bet his savings that it was a hooker with a client. Feeling uncomfortable he turned to the side and dug his phone out of his pocket. He saw a few missed messages but didn't care. No doubt his mother was trying to contact him since he hadn't called for a couple of weeks. Not bothering to check he threw the phone beside him and let sleep take over.

Heathcliff's first class was at noon but needed to go do some study in the library. If he had been at Seth's he could have just used their computer they had given him, or Jasper's extensive library. He was just sitting down to breakfast in the shared breakfast room when his phone went off. People glared at him but he really didn't care. Especially when he saw it was his big brother.

Ephraim and Heathcliff were never really close growing up the age difference was probably the reason to start with. However over time it was obvious they had different dreams and personalities that seemed to clash. Whether the elder believed it or not he took after his father school not being his thing. Where the younger was all about school and taking after his mother in the kluz department. It was only when Ephraim came back for his first visit that they got close and the reason he was alive today.

Even though he had come home to visit his family Ephraim went out with old friends. They had a bonfire with the kids from Forks as well meaning that none of the elders would be there including his parents. Heathcliff had begged to go along with him and his parent's said he could for some unknown reason. They never let their baby go to bonfires normally. For some stupid reason they had trusted Ephraim to look after his baby brother. Just as well they did because somebody had sold him some bad crack and almost died on the beach. If it hadn't been for the kids quick thinking… well let's just say it wasn't worth thinking about. Somehow the Black kids managed to keep it from their parents and Heathcliff had promised not to tell them as long as he promised on their grandfather's grave he would never touch hard drugs again. No one swore on their grandfather's grave without meaning it and Heathcliff had dragged his brother there and made him hold his hand on the headstone and swear.

"Eph I need your help."

"Why hello to you too little brother." Ephraim chuckled.

"Tell me what to do. Mom and dad are trying to ruin my life."

"Well what's new?"

Ephraim listened to everything that had gone down the previous night. As always mom and dad were being overprotective or Heathcliff. Jacob had done nothing but talk highly of Seth and even though Ephraim didn't know him he liked the guy for just looking after his baby brother. Even though the older brother didn't get how a guy could like other guys he didn't care as long as they left him alone. If his brother liked taking it up the ass well good luck to him.

"Dude they're being mom and dad."

"I know but Eph please. Call mom and tell her to stay at home I don't need them to come here and ruin my life."

"Yeah like she's going to listen to me. Your her baby."

"Pleaseeeeeeeeee"

"Fine I'll see what I can do. Give me half an hour."

"Thanks Eph knew I could count on you."

"Hey I haven't done anything yet."

"If anyone can make them listen it's you."

"Sure, whatever call you back."

Ephraim parents had already left for New York meaning that they were out of threw his phone on the table and picked up his coffee. Sitting in Starbucks in a city he didn't know and not a clue where his band mates were he had to make a decision. None of them were answering their phones which didn't surprise him but it wasn't helping no one. They were heading out of the city today otherwise they wouldn't make their next gig.

"Fuck it." he said grabbing his phone and headed out the door.

Jacob grabbed their bags off the carousel and looked around. The flight was horrible and now he was in a city he had never been to before. Granted he hadn't been further than Seattle other than to Hawaii to visit his sister and her kids a few years back.

"This is so great. Can't believe we're in New York."

"We're not here to sightsee Bell's" Jacob chuckled.

They had managed to get open ended tickets and Jacob decided he and his wife were long overdue for a holiday so thought he would surprise her on an extended visit. Their wedding anniversary was coming up and instead of the traditional dinner for two at the shity restaurant in Forks they would dine in style. First however they had to talk to their son and Jacob needed to kick his so called best friend's ass for putting his son's life in danger.

Isabella was already on her phone texting Heathcliff. Jacob hoped they could at least get to the Inn and have a bit of time to themselves since he said he had classes till late. When someone bumped into his imprint he growled and almost punched the guy when he made eyes at her. One look from her husband and the man scampered.

"It was an accident Jake."

"Sure, sure." he huffed following her out of the airport. "Why the hell would anybody want to live around so many damn people?"

"Are we expecting a delivery?" Seth asked his lover.

"Not that I'm aware of." Jasper frowned.

Seth made his way downstairs. They had few friends and the ones they got usually called instead of just turning up. Opening the door he stood there staring at a man he knew many years ago. Or so he thought.

"Hi I'm looking for Seth Clearwater."

"Ephraim?"

"Yeah um is your father home?"

"My father has been dead since before you were born. Come in."

"Oh. How did you know my name?"

"Because you look just like your father. I'm Seth please come in."

Ephraim stepped inside the house and looked around. This was not possible. His grandfather Billy had sat him down a few days before he lost his battle with his illness and told him the legends of their people. Of course the young man had heard them before and listened half heartedly thinking Billy had finally lost the plot when he said that they were true and that his son was a shapeshifter and his mother ran with vampires.

"Would you like something to drink, eat maybe?" Seth asked not sure what to do with his alpha's son in his home.

"Yeah that would be great thanks."

The young man followed Seth through the beautiful house and found their way to a massive kitchen with all the latest gadgets that only his mother could dream about. The shifter directed him to a seat while he went and poured them both coffee. His eyes darting to Ephraim every few seconds. When he handed the coffee to the young man their fingers brushed against one another.

Ephraim lifted a eyebrow feeling the heat that Seth had. He was just about to ask if he was feeling okay when another man walked in. This one the complete opposite than the native. Seth seemed to relax and smiled sweetly at him.

"Ephriam, I want you to meet my partner Jasper. Jasper this is Ephraim, Jake and Bella's eldest son." Seth said for the benefit of their guest. Of course Jasper had heard everything that had gone on and he also held the distinctive scent of his parents mainly Jacob.

"A pleasure." Jasper said looking down at the offered hand. He quickly glanced at Seth who gave a quick nod.

Neither man was surprised when Ephraim visibly shivered. Not saying another word the young man wrapped his hand around the warm coffee cup. "It's true." the thought to himself.

"So Ephraim what brings you to New York?"

"My father being a dick again."

Seth burst out laughing and shook his head. Jasper went to excuse himself saying he had work to do. However Ephraim had other ideas.

"I know what you are." Both Seth and Jasper froze. "Please don't tell me I'm wrong. You're so cold and pale, and you are so hot and look younger than me."

"I don't.."

"I said don't deny it wolf."

"Ephraim."

Ephraim held up his hand. "Billy told me everything. Told me that I was the one that had to keep the secret and make sure my son and his sons knew the truth when the time came. I thought he had finally lost his marbles, but the more I think about it the more I believe him."

"Your not scared" Jasper said.

"Should I be?"

"Not from us no." Seth said kindly.

"Didn't think so. Now we have to convince dad that."
