Disclaimer: I wish I owned Twilight. But I have an evil plan to take over the world and then finally steal the rights to Twilight. Anybody wanna join?
Heyy! It's been a while hasn't it? I'm gonna make this short. I know I said I was gonna update Sunday, but there were a few last minute changes I wanted to make.
Anyway, Lacy and Embry's date is already posted. It's called "Dating Secrets" So you can go read their date. I hope you guys enjoy that and this chapter, cause it took me a long time to write this, since I'm terribly inexperienced wth writing romance scenes.
Anyway… please read the A/N at the bottom, it's important!
Anywho!... On wif the STORY…!
*-From This Moment On,
I'm counting on you-*
"Bleh! How cam something so disgusting taste so good?" I asked no one in particular. I shook my head and popped another chocolate egg in my mouth and too a sip of my Coke.
It may sound disgusting, but it's so nice; you can't stop!
"If you don't like it, then why do you keep eating it that way?" Lacy asked, showing me a grey tank top. I shook my head and she threw it back in her closet.
I'm currently in Lacy's room helping her choose an outfit for her date with Embry in five hours. So far we already have her shoes picked out and how she's going to wear her hair.
"Because, the taste is addictive!" I exclaimed, eating another egg and taking another sip of Coke. She laughed and pulled out a blue tight fit tunic-slanted hem shirt. Mmmhmm...That would fit by her shoes, now if only she had a…
I jumped up from her bed – startling Lacy in the process – and went over to her closet. I scanned the drawers and finally my eyes found what I was looking for.
I grabbed the white skirt along wth her black jacket and took the shirt from her hands. I held up the attire and shifted my head – picturing my cousin wearing it.
I nodded and flung the clothes at her. She caught them wth a surprised squeal and looked at me questioningly.
"There's your outfit for tonight." I took her jacket and hung it behind her door.
"You want me to wear a skirt?" She raised an eyebrow, holding the piece of material in question in the air.
"Yes my dear cousin. Show that wolf why tigers have their stripes." I winked at her – her cheeks tinting red.
"Yeah, but unless you want my brother to have a hear attack and possibly lock me up in here – I suggest you change the skirt." She threw the skirt at me.
"Leave your brother to me." I smirked, throwing the skirt back. She sighed and walked over to her bed, moving our candy – her sour-worms and Sprite and my chocolate eggs and Coke – away and placing the clothes in a heap in the centre of her bed.
She picked up her candy and cooldrink and plopped down on the ground, leaning against her bed. I mimicked her actions and sat down beside her, sipping my Coke.
"I don't even wanna hear that conversation." She said as she ate a green and yellow worm, her face scrunching up at the sour taste. Haha, man I wish I had a camera right now.
I laughed. "Don't worry; I won't scare him too much. Besides, I'm saving my energy for Embry if he messes up your date tonight." I grinned at her, receiving an eye rol in return.
She smacked my arm and took a sip of her Sprite, rolling her eyes at me again. I guess people like rolling their eyes at me, cauze Jacob and Rachel rolled their eyes at me this morning.
Lacy and I talked for a while… actually make that an hour and twenty minutes, but to us that really is a while. Our longest confo lasted three hours and fifty-five minutes. I sighed and stood up from the floor, stretching in the process. I bent down and picked up my empty Coke bottle and my plastic wrapper, which had contained my candy, and threw both of them in Lacy's blue and white trash-basket. Lacy stood up and followed my actions, stretching and dumping her empty wrappers in her trash-basket.
"Is your brother home?" I asked her as I stood by her bedroom door. I didn't hear anything besides us two in the house, but Quil may be sleeping.
Lacy laughed and shook her head. "No, he's at Emily's – where there's food, there's Quil."
I smiled and shook my head. "I know, jeeze those wolves really know how to eat!" I walked down the hall, Lacy following behind me.
"You're telling me, sister." She opened her front door and stepped out onto the porch, staring at the driveway that leads to the forest, the turn-off to my house and the man road to town.
I stepped out and stood next to her, relishing in the soft breeze and the warm rays of the very-rare sun. The weather rapport had said we have sunny skies the entire week… let's see how long that holds out.
I sighed. "I better get home and let you start getting ready." Lacy nodded and gave me a hug and waved as I walked down her driveway.
I quickly jogged into the forest, walking in deep enough not to be seen by humans, before I let the burning sensation spread up my arms and legs, down my spine and up towards my head. I fall on all fours and shake out my fur, stretching my hind legs and my front legs. I let out a howl, listening for any of my pack mates. Silence. Thank goodness!
Don't get me wrong, I love sharing my mind with my sisters, but it's freaking delightful to have my mind to myself in my wolf form. Not having to keep track of what I think or what I don't think, only my own mind voice.
I jump over a fallen tree and run as fast as I can, dodging trees and uprooted tree roots, until I reach our clearing. I trudge over to the river and bend my head to drink some water.
Snap!
My head darts from side to side, listening and looking for the person, animal or thing that caused the sound. Movement at the edge of the clearing catches my attention and I crouch down low, sneaking towards it with the tall grass as my cover.
As I come closer, the outline of a huge animal makes its way into view. As it came entered the clearing fully, I saw one of the wolves – which one, I'm not sure, but it looks familiar. I know it's not Jacob or Paul, because it has sandy brown fur… Wait a minute!
That's the wolf the girls and I saw when Jacob and the other wolves chased me!
I keep low, watching as the wolf trudges over to the river. I follow, silently and as fast as I could. I observe the wolf; it's not as big as the others, a bit on the gangly side, but I still wouldn't mess with it since it is still way bigger than I am. I'm guessing this one probably has the best hearing, since he/she was the first to hear me that day.
The wolf finished drinking from the river and laid down, resting its head on its front paws, eyes closed and tail swishing, ear perked and alert.
Mhmm… wonder if I could speak to it, like I heard them last time.
Testing, testing… can you hear me?
The wolf's eyes snapped open, searching its surroundings before they drooped close again.
Hey! Sandy, can you hear me? I inched closer, listening to the river rushing by and the wolf's deep breathing and the beating of its heart. Thump-tha-thump, thump-tha-thump, repeat.
The wolf's eyes snapped open again, this time t lifted its head and turned it sideways, and listening for something who I'm guessing is me.
~Who's there?~ A male voice asked, it sounded almost like…
Can you hear me, Sandy? I crept even closer, reaching the edge of the grass line.
~Yeah, I can. Who are you?~
Take a guess, Sandy
~I'm not good at guessing, and quit calling me Sandy!~
Nah, I'm good with calling you Sandy, Sandy. Now guess!
I heard the wolf sigh and I refrained from snorting a laugh, afraid I'd compromise my position.
~Uhm… Lacy?~ He asked.
Nope, Lacy's busy getting ready for her date with Embry.
~Aleera?~
Nah ah
~Fallon?~
Try again
~So-Sophy?!~
Bingo! We have a winner I giggled, watching as the wolf's eyes went wide.
~Where are you? How can I hear you?~
Calm down, Seth. I'm in the clearing with you I stood up, catching his attention, and trotted over towards him, plopping down in front of him. I curled my tail around my side.
~Wow, you- you look beautiful~ Seth-wolf stared at me with big eyes. I'm lucky that I don't blush in wolf form; otherwise I would be as red as my eyes when I manipulate fire!
Thanks, I guess…
Seth-wolf smiled a wolfy smile at me ~You're welcome!~
I laughed Let's change back, it's unusual for me to speak like this
Seth nodded and turned his head. I concentrated on one emotion and I felt my bones shift back to my human form. Before Seth could run off, I reached out my hand and ran it through his fur. Wow, that's what you call soft fur! Seth's head snapped back towards me with big eyes, and if I didn't duck in time I would be sprawled out on the grass from his head whacking me.
He moved back, leaving my hand hanging in the air, and ran towards the woods – leaving me alone, without a goodbye. I sighed, what did I do wrong?
"You could have said goodbye before you left, ya know." I grumbled, sitting on the rock near the water.
"Sorry, I forgot you girls change back with your clothes on. I had to phase back behind a tree and pull on my pants." Seth's voice reached my ears as he jogged through the grass, wearing nothing but his jean cut-offs. Oh my word, he has abs!
He stopped in front of the rock and smiled down at me. I felt my heart skip a beat. He smiled wider. Damn, I forgot he could hear thing like that!
"Oh, wipe the smile from your face and sit down." I glared at him playfully.
He nodded and smiled at me again, sitting next to me on the big rock. His body heat rolled off him and onto me, and I shivered from the heat. (Damn, he's hot! Both ways!) Luckily, Seth didn't notice.
"So, what are you doing out here?" He asked me, staring at the water's surface. The sun gleaming off of the clear surface.
"I came here for a drink of water; I was on my way home from Lacy's. And you?" I glanced at him from the corner of my eye; his gaze was now centered on me.
"Same as you, was on my way home from Emily's." His brown gaze forcing me to look at him – I get lost in those brown hues so easily.
Seth and I have been getting quite close over the past few days; we're almost back to normal. He's at my house every morning, eating breakfast with us, asking me questions and just generally hanging out with me. He also apologized for being an ass to me two years ago; he explained to me how he had to break all ties to normal humans, meaning his friends. I understood and forgave him, I mean, sure he was an ass to me, but I understand now why he acted like he did. He was protecting me and the girls from being scared like Emily.
So, my and Seth's friendship is almost completely patched up.
We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, me staring in to his eyes and him staring in to mine. Everything else continued to move and live around us, the birds continued flying and chirping, the river's water continued to flow and glint in the sunlight. Everything continued, except me and Seth.
"Niesie, do you remember what I told you about imprinting?" Seth whispered, looking at me with so much emotion that I could have shifted for him!
I nodded.
Earlier this week I had saw a glimpse of Lacy and Embry's date where Embry told Lacy she was his imprint. I, of course, didn't know what that was, so I asked Jacob. Jake had laughed and told me to ask Seth, who in return had stuttered and told me about it. It's supposedly how the wolves find their soul mates, their one true love who they'll do anything and everything for. They're tied to that one person for life and they'll be anything for that one, special person. Personally, I think that's the most romantic and sweetest thing ever and I wish I could have an imprint, but I seriously doubt it.
"What about it?" I asked my voice just above a whisper.
Seth's eyes filled with adoration, and he took a deep breath. "Niesie, I- I imprinted on you." He said the words so softly, that at first I thought I heard him wrong, but when adoration left his eyes and love replaced it, I knew I didn't mishear him.
Seth, my best friend, my once-enemy, my crush, is my soul mate? Wow, I never thought that this would happen when I woke up this morning.
"Really?" I searched his eyes for a lie, a sign to tell me this was all a joke. But all I found in those dark puddles were complete and utter adoration and love.
"Really… I love you, Sophy. Even before I phased, and I still do." His voice was husky as he spoke, and when his hand reached up to tuck a piece of stray hair behind my ear and brushed against my cheek, my heart sped up, and he left a sparking sensation where he touched.
He loved me? Seth Clearwater, the boy who helped me when I fell off my bike when I was five years old, love me? Me?! My heart soared. All these years, I thought that what I felt for him was just a school-girl crush, but now he's my soul mate. All mine! I never thought that something this amazing could happen to me, since my mother died and since Seth left me. But I guess I was wrong! All this time, he's been my soul mate, and he was the person I used to have mud-fights with!
I looked deep in to his eyes, my emotions running haywire, but I didn't shift. I just focused on Seth, nothing but him. "I-I… I love you too." I whispered, crashing my lips against his. There was nothing to compare the kiss to. Bombs and Atom bombs held nothing against what happened when we kissed. It was amazing! I can't even describe it.
We pulled back; he rested his forehead against mine and smiled at me. "So, does this make you my girlfriend now?"
I laughed and kissed him again. Answering and silencing him at the same time.
My life just got a thousand times better… nothing can destroy it now that I have the one person I've loved since I understood the meaning of love.
Eyy! So that's the end of this chappie!
I need our help with a romantic date for my other story, pwease!?
