AN: so.... I think this is probably going to be the last chapter before I start the sequel.... It's fairly long, I hope you enjoy
it!
Erika P.O.V.
I just sat there in shock. SETH HAD IMPRINTED ON ME! It was the best thing I could ever wish for!!! Let alone have it actually happen!
A little piece of paper on the grass caught my attention. I picked it up and looked at it. It was a school ID!
Seth Clearwater
Age: 16
Grade: 11th
Phone: 097-2047
At least I had his phone number.... I could call him later.
Just then, I remembered that Alice couldn't see Seth because he's a shape shifter... I better let them know I'm okay!!
Five minutes later I was walking through the front door to find nine pairs of anxious eyes staring at me. Alice was the first to confront me.
"Do you have any idea how much you scared me??!?!?!? I went running after you when I saw you disappear, but then I caught a werewolf's scent! So, I had to come back here and wait to see if you were going to come back!!!" She stopped yelling at me abruptly, then hugged me as hard as she could before she started dry sobbing.
"Ummm... Alice, I can't breathe!" I huffed as she continued to squeeze me before letting me go.
"S-sorry. I just thought I was going to lose my maid of honour."
"It's okay. Don't you guys want to know what happened?" I said excitedly.
Several yeses echoed all around the room.
"HE DID WHAT??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!" Edward yelled standing up abruptly.
"Edward, what is it?!" Alice squeaked, trying to get him to sit down.
"THAT-THAT- SETH IMPRINTED ON ERIKA!!" He yelled, shoving Alice away, trying to get to the door to go after Seth.
"Edward, no! I like Seth already, maybe even love him. If you hurt him, you hurt me." I said, trying to calm him down. We had become
really close over the past two weeks, he was practically my older brother.
"But Erika, do you have any idea what this means! You've only known the boy for three hours! What if he's a total jerk?" He said, questioning my judgement.
"He's not!" I showed him all of what had happened in the clearing with Seth.
"He may have been nice then but you never know what he will be like the next time you see him!" He snapped at me.
"Well, I can just call him and make a date to find out!" I snapped back, pulling out his school I.D. and my cell phone. I dialled the number and waited for someone to pick up.
Ring.... ring..... ring
Hello?
"Hi, this is Erika, is Seth there?" I asked
I'm sorry, this is his mother, and he's not in at the moment. Can I take a message?
"Sure, could you please tell him that I found his I.D. card and ask him to call me back at this number." I said
No problem. Goodbye.
"Bye." I said before I flipped my phone shut and turned to face Edward. "There. Now I'll just wait for him to call."
However, he just got up and stormed off to his room.
Kayla P.O.V.
I felt really bad for Erika, she had just met Seth, found out that he had imprinted on her, and then had to deal with Edward's over-protectiveness. It was a good thing I wasn't that close to Edward, I already had more than enough help from Phillip. He always insisted on helping me with almost everything, but somehow I didn't mind. My thoughts were interrupted when someone knocked on my bedroom door.
"Come in." I responded.
The door creaked open, and Erika stepped in.
"Hey." I whispered, motioning for her to sit down next to me. She pulled out a note pad and pen, jotted something down, and then passed it to me. This was exactly what we used to do when we didn't want people to hear our conversations in class. I read her note then wrote down something of my own.
(AN: Erica's notes are in bold italics and Kayla's notes are in italics)
Hey, Kays. I thought that if we used this then no one but Edward and Alice would know what we were saying.
It sounds like a great idea. What have you been up too the past two weeks?
Oh, just hanging out and helping Alice get ready for the Wedding... She's really excited.
I can tell... I mean she should be, it is tomorrow after all...
Yes, I'm so nervous. I mean I'm not clumsy, but what if I mess-up while I'm in front of everyone?!?!
You won't. Just think of last night with Seth.... do you really think you love him?
I actually think I might be. I mean, we got along so well... It was almost as if I'd known him my whole life...
Lol, I felt the same way when I first spent that day with Phillip... I just wish I wasn't still 14.
Why? I thought you liked being 14... Does it have something to do with your transformation?
Yes, He's 16 and he won't let me be changed until I'm at least 16 also... I'm pretty sure he would like me to change sooner, but he's concerned it's just puppy love, and that if he changes me now I'll leave him to go be with someone else.
I can kind of understand where he's coming from, but you have always been mature for your age, after all your second best friend in first grade was a yard duty... (AN: mine actually was.....)
Thanks for reminding me.... :P I just wish the next two years fly by.... I can't wait to find out more about you and Seth...
Me too... I just wish it we can get along well.... awww! We both just made wishes, and look, outside, there is a falling star!!!
How perfect!!!
I glanced up from the paper to see that sure enough she was right! We really had wished upon a star... I just really hope they come true....
---Later the next day----
The wedding had gone by in a flash! Alice had been stunning in her dress, along with Jasper in his tux. They matched up perfectly! Phillip had also taken my breath away. Who knew he could look anymore handsome than he did now... We had just thrown rice at the happy couple and watched them get into their car and drive away... I sighed, knowing it would be an incredibly long time before I could do that.... Just then I felt Phillip's cool arm snake around my waist, pulling my body closer to his.
"Why are you crying?" He whispered in my ear.
I held my hand to my cheek, wet. I guess I was crying.
"Be-cause." I managed to choke out, before I was rushing through the air, only to end up sitting next to him on a bench, a few hundred feet into the woods from the house.
"Really, why are you crying?" He asked again, pulling me onto his lap.
"I-I was just thinking about my transformation again..." He frowned, I knew this was something he didn't like talking about because it upset him.
"You know we have to wait to change you. You're too young right now." He started rubbing circles on my back to calm me down.
"I-I know, it's just so long.... what if I get in a car crash and you're not there to save me and I die? What if I get cancer, or get murdered? What then?! You can't always be around to save me!" I cried, desperate for a response.
"I know, but I'll make sure none of that stuff happens. You'll have round-the-clock vampire baby sitters." He smiled.
I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Yes, because that's exactly what I want. No privacy. Sometimes you come up with the strangest plans."
"So. At least I come up with them and not shoot them down all the time." He laughed.
"Yeah, well, how about this. You change me right here right now." I put forward, silently hoping he will agree.
"No." He stated firmly
"Pretty pweese, with blood on top?" I batted my eyes at him.
"No." He managed to say through clenched teeth.
I kissed him lightly on the lips. "Fine, but I'm not giving up completely."
Erika P.O.V.
I sat down on the porch, watching Alice and Jasper dive away. I saw Phillip pick up Kayla and run quickly into the woods... I hope everything works out okay with them....
Just then my cell phone started to vibrate in my pocket.
"Hello?" I questioned
Is Erika there?
"Yes, this is her." I replied
Hey! it's Seth!
"Oh! Hi! How are you?" I exclaimed.
Good, you?
"Okay." I responded
So, are you busy right now?
"No, I'm just hanging out at home, you?" I answered
Nothing, would you like to go to dinner with me?
"Okay, when should I expect you?" I asked, my mind buzzing around, wondering if I would have time to change my outfit.
Turn around.
I heard him hang-up, so I followed suit and spun around.
There he was, all dressed up holding a bouquet of lavender roses.
"SETH!" I ran to him, all thoughts emptying my mind, and suddenly found my self in his strong warm arms. He hugged me tightly.
"So.... where are we going?" I asked, taking the roses as he handed them to me.
"Oh... just a little place I know...." He picked me up and started walking toward the woods.
A few minutes later he stepped through the trees into the same small clearing where we had met two nights ago, only to find a fancy dining table underneath a canopy of twinkle lights.
"OH! It's so beautiful!" I exclaimed. He set me on my feet, still not letting me go completely.
"Did you know that lavender roses stand for love at first sight and enchantment?" He whispered in my ear.
"Well, that's good because....I think I just might love you already." I whispered back.
AN: So, I think that's a pretty good ending... I'll start the sequel soon so, be on the look out!
