Clio `s POV.

What would one do if one was to be separated from their love? Well for me, it involved sobbing and begging and yet my parents took no notice. My pain and hardship meant nothing to them well it did, but they thought Seth was not in my best interests. Only Jacob Black, my loving cousin and godfather took any pity on my plight and now he was fighting for me.

I tore my eyes away from the deep dark forests of La push and looked up to my empty bedroom. Despite my arguments and resistance, all my belongings were packed up in boxes ready to go. I had given up trying to listen in on my parents and Jake. Unfortunately, I did not have werewolf hearing and on top of that, the rain was falling fast and heavy. I let out another sigh, I was glad Seth was not here now, I was wearing one of my Dads old jumpers and sweatpants and I was wet from the rain. I could stand under the porch but there was something reassuring about feeling those raindrops. Maybe it helped me to remember I was alive, because without Seth it felt like I had died inside. He gave me life. I heard a footstep and spun around. Jake was standing on the porch. His head was touching the roof of the porch but his smile gave me hope again. Was it possible that my parents had forgiven me and were allowing me to stay?

"You are staying but you are going to Forks high school and you have to pass Maths." Jake grinned and I leaped into his arms. His heat reminded me of Seth. I was staying, it was the best news possible in this situation. "You are also still banned from seeing Seth but that's the best I could get." Jake continued

"Thanks Jake. Thank you so much." I said, giving him a tighter hug.

"I got to go, pack business but I will pass the news onto Seth." Jake said, pulling my arms down.

"Thanks again. Bye." I said. Jake ran into the rain and gave a small wave. Then the dark forest enveloped him. I hid my smile as I went into unpack. I was staying at home.

Mom was glad that a compromise had been reached as she said she would have missed me if I had gone to boarding school but was still strict on the not seeing Seth policy. Dad was busy organising my new school stuff. I had hated being the new girl and now that was what I was but it was better to be the new girl here then the new girl at a boarding school. At the moment though, I had no school and for once the sun was shining, so I decided to wander round the woods. The wood was beautiful, just different shades of green and the occasional flower. I picked up a steady pace and just listened to the woods. I sat on a rock which was covered in green moss. The moss was amazingly dry. I smiled and then I saw it. There were two eyes poking out from under a tree and two wolf ears. I laughed which guy was it. It was not Seth anyway maybe Jacob or Quil. The wolf came out and bounced up to me. I patted its head and it gave a little growl of content. I giggled again. Then the wolf howled. I jumped back at the noise and then I heard footsteps and three more wolves appeared in the forest. Before I could find Seth, he found me. I went flying backwards as a wolf bounded at me. I looked up and there I saw Seth `s beautiful eyes.

"Seth." I whispered. The wolf nodded and then I got a big wet lick on my cheek. Disgusting.

"Seth." I said again, this time in annoyance. He laughed or as much as a wolf can laugh. The other wolves left and I curled up next to him, entwining my fingers in his fur.

"I missed you." I said. "Don `t change because then I am breaking my parents rules. Just stay a wolf."

His eyes grew sad at my parent `s disapproval.

"Seth. This is really hard, right now but it `s darkest before the dawn. Can you wait for me? " I said, maybe Seth would bet better off with a different girl. The wolf nodded and cuddled closer. We sat there in the woods for a long time, I talked occasionally and Seth listened but mostly we just sat enjoying each others company. I wanted Seth in human form but that would be betraying my parents so I settled for the wolf. There were many obstacles in front of me and Seth but we would survive and conquer.

Seth `s POV.

I let out a small growl of contentment. I wish I could hold her and hug her and kiss her. Why was the path of true love never smooth? My tail bounced happily off the ground and I cuddled round her. She was so small but so brave. No matter what we would stay together. Why couldn't Clio's parents understand us but they will see in time. We just had to hold on, I just know we can show them together. I licked her hand. It was cold. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and keep her safe and warm.

"Seth." She giggled as I licked her hand and my heart burst seeing her smile and laugh.

I could hear Sam and Quil and Brady in my head but I ignored them. This moment was for us and us alone. I did not know when we would see each other again so I savoured the moment.

I listened to her heartbeat. The sound was constant just like my love for her. I smiled as it picked up an irregular beat and I felt her scratch my ears. I wanted to become human so badly but I knew she needed me a wolf to keep her conscience clear. I understood her but I wished I could keep her happy. She deserved happiness. She looked happy now though.

She caught me looking at her and blushed a little but did not look away. She belonged to me.

"I have to go. Mom and Dad will be wondering where I am but Seth, please come back. Tomorrow." She said and she actually looked like she was worried I would refuse her. I wanted to tell her that I would die rather than not come but being a wolf I could only nod.

"Same time, same place." She said and stood up. I gave a small whine. I did not want her to go.

"I don `t want to go either." Clio said sadly and I whined again.

"Tomorrow, Seth and please come as a wolf. Please" She looked so sad. I nodded then licked her hand.

"Bye" She said and began navigating her way home, I followed her and she laughed. Eventually we reached her house. She leaned down and looked me in the eyes.

"Tomorrow." She whispered. I gave her a big lick.

"Seth." She said in annoyance but she was smiling. She walked outside and I retreated into the forest. We would have to get together soon because my heart could not deal with separation much longer.
