My heart was pounding. What was the wolf doing? It was just staring at me. Was it going to kill me? Eat me? My legs began to jerk backwards, even though my brain was screaming to run, all I could manage was a few shaky steps backwards before I tripped over a tree root sticking about six inches out of the ground. I fell on my back and hit my head hard on the ground. I leaned my elbows against the ground and shook my head getting the dirt and leaves and other bracken out of it. I quickly scrambled up to a sitting position with my legs still hanging over the root. I tried to see if the wolf had moved. It obviously had since it was nowhere to be found. I scanned the trees in front of me, to the left and to the right. Nothing.

Then something touched my shoulder, it felt like a hand. I jumped to my feet and out of my skin and let out a blood curdling high pitched scream. Although it was not the wolf, it was a strange man that had caught me off guard.

"CALM DOWN!" He yelled over my scream. He put his hands up as if in surrender, he had an apologetic look on his face. It calmed me down a bit. "I was just going to ask if you were alright. I saw you fall, you looked kind of scared." He said with a concerned smile.

I opened my mouth to answer, but was unable to because at the moment my entire family showed up. They formed an army line in front of me blocking my view of the man.

"YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" My father snarled at the stranger.

"Calm down Edward, I was just making sure she was ok." The man said nonchalantly. How did he know my father's name?

My father took a good look at the man. "Seth?"

"Yep." Seth popped the 'P.'

"Wow look at you, you're all grown up." Emmett laughed while punching Seth in the arm. "What happened to the gawky tall kid?"

"Well I guess I kind of gained some more muscle to balance out how tall I am." He said slightly blushing.

I ducked my head to see under my father's arm that was still hanging out to protect me, although it was now slightly lower than it had been. I took a better look at Seth. He was tall, like he had said, maybe 6'7'', and entire foot and half taller than me. He had black hair cut short and he definitely had plenty of muscle, he was almost giving Emmett a run for his money…maybe. I don't think anyone could measure up to Emmett. Seth also had deep brown eyes that seemed to be wandering over to me every now and then.

"Seth." My father said seriously breaking me from my reverie. "What are you doing out here?"

"Well I was running the usual patrols, when I caught a whiff of your scent. I followed it and found her." He pointed to me. "I was excited because I would get to see you again, and all the Cullens."

Whiff of our scent? How could he smell us?…Unless, he was the "other supernatural force" that wanted to get rid of me AKA a wolf. He was the wolf that I saw a split second before he came to rescue me from whatever I was frightened from, but it was him that I was afraid of. I felt like the proper emotion would be anger, but I felt relief from all the confusion that I had earlier.

"Seth, does anyone else know that were out here. Did anyone else hear or see what you thought or saw? Because you know what would happen if they found us." Grandpa said with a nervous look.

"Nnnooo." Seth dragged out with thought. "I'm pretty sure I was alone when I smelled you guys and saw her."

"You're wrong Seth." A voice from behind me stated. I let out a short gasp.

The line that was once in front of me was now behind me. I whirled around to see what was happening.

"I can't believe you showed your faces around here again. Thought we forgot about you?" Said the only one that wasn't in wolf form, I took him to be the leader. The other wolves formed a 'V' behind him. All I could do was stare, there were so many of them.

"Now Sam, there's no need to be hostile, we were just on a family camping trip." Jasper said trying to calm the situation, but it wasn't working. These guys were on a mission.

"Family camping trip. HA!" Sam scoffed. "With that thing?" He pointed in the direction of my father's arm, which I was peeking out of again. I shrank back slightly, only to run into Seth's body. I tilted my head backwards to look up at him. He looked upset.

"That abomination should have been destroyed when it was first born, and now you've so kindly returned it for us to finish our job." Sam said advancing forward. Their mission was obviously to kill me.

Seth grabbed my hand and pushed me behind him. I felt a spark when he touched my hand, almost like static electricity. I looked at his face and our eyes locked. He had a strange protective/loving look in his eyes. He let go of my hand to push his way through the line of my family, leaving me dazed and confused. I shook my head to concentrate on the issue at hand. Seth stopped right between Sam and my family.

"Sam, you need to just let them go, it's been years and the girl has obviously not done any harm." At least he called me a girl and not a thing or an abomination.

"Seth, you don't know that, it could have massacred a thousand people by now." Seth looked back at my 5'1'' frame and had a look that said "highly unlikely." "You need to let go of your love for the Cullens, and let us do our job as protectors of Forks. We have to kill it." Sam took a step forward.

Seth's body began to vibrate. I'd never seen anything like it before, his fists were clenched and the outline of his body began to blur. "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!" Seth yelled making the entire forest go silent. He then hesitated, "Th…Them…You will not touch them." He said quieter than before.

Sam stopped and took a good look at Seth, something clicked in Sam's mind because his eyes widened with realization. "Oh, I see how it is. Well, Seth, I don't like it, but I won't harm her or her family." Sam said with honest resignation. "Carlisle, you wouldn't mind us camping with you guys…just as a precaution, I promise. I think Edward could tell you my intentions are pure."

"I…I guess." Grandpa said with confusion and looked at my father for an explanation. My father nodded his head to tell Grandpa that he would tell him later.

"Well, we have to get our tents. We'll meet you at your campsite. We'll just follow your smell." Sam said with a half hearted wave. They all slowly started to trickle through the gaps between the trees and out of my sight.

My father grabbed my hand and towed me along behind him. I could feel that he wasn't happy, but whether it was with me or with the situation, I couldn't tell. I looked back one more time and saw that Seth was standing there alone just watching us leave. As I traveled farther away from him, I felt sadness and longing set in.
