Somehow I ended up at the beach, and I was fine with that. I jumped off the bike and put down the kickstand. Smiling at the ocean in the moonlight, I kicked off my shoes and slowly walked towards the water, letting the sand seeped between my toes.

I walked over to the same fallen log that I had sat on with Seth earlier today and sat, stretched out, and looked at the water reflecting the moon light.

It was so peaceful that I smiled to myself and let out a slow sigh, content. My heart loosened when I wasn't in the house, listening to Jake and Mia make love. Taking in another deep breath, I tried to have the ocean air clear my thoughts. Somehow, he kept creeping into my mind. I hated it.

"What are you doing here?" Seth walked up next to me, his hair damp from the gentle mist. He smiled and sat on the log next to me.

"Damn it Seth!" I hissed out through my teeth, and saw how big his eyes got when I said damn. "Yeah, I'm tired of being a precious little angel. This is me, take it or leave it." Of course I had to blurt out the last part.

"Well…" He started, smirking.

"Shut up. You know I didn't mean that. What the hell are you doing here?" I was just randomly throwing in curse words now, trying to get him to leave.

He shrugged. "Heard a motorcycle, and wanted to know who was riding it this late. How about you?"

Rolling my eyes, I looked back at the oceans. "Trying to clear my mind."

"About what?" He inched closer to me, and I moved over more, but I was already on the edge of the log. I could either sit in the sand (which was now wet and unpleasant) or deal with it. Guess which one I was stuck with?

"A bunch of crap. You know, Caden being an ass. Other things…" It took all my power not to glance at him when I said the last part.

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem pissed…And you rode a motorcycle here. I didn't even know you could drive one." I felt his eyes boring into the side of my head, and I shifted uncomfortably.

"No, I'm not okay. I am pissed. And there's a lot you, and most people, don't know about me." I turned to glare at him, but as I did I could actually feel my gaze softening. Closing my eyes, I quickly turned my attention back to the water.

"And I want to change that. Can't you just let me in?" His voice was soft and almost pained. He gently pulled my hand in his and cradled it softly.

As I turned to curse at him, he leaned forward and captured my lips with his. I instantly relaxed and let his lips mold to mine perfectly. The warmth was amazing, and filled me to my core. I felt like I was being shocked by lightening in the most delectable way possible.

When we pulled apart, he smiled at me, and let go of my hand.

The moment we weren't touching anymore, I snapped out of it, back into the real world. I let my head fall back and groaned out. "Damn it Seth! What the hell happened to being friends?"

"Lily, I tried, I really did. But I can't help it. You're just so beautiful." He gently brushed a strand of hair from my face that must have gone wild on the ride over here.

I pushed the hand away, even though the sensation was intoxicating. "No, I'm not." I shook my head and walked over to the motorcycle, leaning against it as I slid back on my shoes.

"Lily, come on. Don't be crazy. It's dangerous to ride out here in the dark. Let me take you home." He started walking towards me.

"No, it's not dangerous. It's the freaking reservation. Just leave me alone." I shook my head and slid back onto the bike, and turned on the engine.

"Lily…" He walked towards me, but then there was a loud, hollow howl from somewhere in the woods. He looked down at his feet and sighed. "I have to go. Just…be safe. Please."

I let out choked chuckle. "Yeah, I promise. Just like you promised to just be my friend." I shook my head and sped off down the road, leaving an unmoving Seth watching me disappear into the night.

Of course I didn't go back to Mia's. I just rode around the reservation. Then I rode around Forks a little. I just kept circling until the sun began to rise, and I felt the effects of staying up all night.

I somehow made it back to Mia's, almost blindly, and parked the bike out in the driveway. I walked in the front door and flopped down on the couch, looking at the ceiling as my eyes started to drift close.

Suddenly, Mia walked into the room, fidgeting, and sat down on the single chair and looked down at her coffee. Yawning, I forced myself to sit up. "You okay?"

"Um…yeah…Hey, Emily's coming over, I hope that's okay." She kept fidgeting, keeping her gaze on the coffee.

"It's your house. I'm going to go sleep for a little, I was out all night." I wasn't sure if she read the note, but she looked freaked out. I didn't like it.

She nodded, clearly her mind was somewhere else. I went and fell asleep on my bed, but it wasn't peaceful.

I kept tossing and turning in my sleep, like I was fighting. I kept feeling jabs, and I could have sworn I saw a redhead punch me in the face. Well, I didn't see her punch me in the face, but I saw it through my eyes. I'm pretty sure they were my eyes.

But then, she got more violent. Suddenly, my whole right side was on fire, and it felt like I had been run over by a steam roller. I let out a scream and sat up. The intense pain dulled to a slight throb, but it was still there.

Answering my scream, the door flew open and Emily and Mia raced it, still looking as shaken up as before. I've met Emily once before when I met Jake. I noticed her scars the first time, but what does that matter. She was still twenty times more beautiful than I was, or anyone else I've seen.

"Lily, Lily dear what's wrong?" Emily, always the mother, sat down on the bed, looking me over.

Mia just couldn't be eased, so she stood up and started to pace the room, her eyes glued on the window.

"I had the most dreadful dream ever. And I felt a shi-…" I didn't want to curse in front of her. "I felt a lot of pain. Now it's just a dull throb, but it couldn't have been any dream. It was so real…and I felt the pain…"

Emily tilted her head to the left slightly, looking me over closely. "What did you see?"

"It was like I was there. I kept feeling all of the blows and hits from the redhead. And then my whole right side was on fire, and felt completely crushed…" I shuddered at the memory, and absentmindedly ran my hands up and down my arm.

"I'm sure it was just a dream." She gently patted my knee, but then her phone rang and she held it up to her ear. She nodded, and then her face turned pale, and she raised a trembling hand over her mouth. "Oh my god…"

Her eyes fell on me.

My heart skipped a beat.

And sweat started to trickle down my face.

Emily nodded slightly, and then shut the phone, looking at Mia. "There is a problem."

Mia tensed. "Oh god. Who was it?" How did she know it was a person?

Emily stood up, and held her shaking hands at her side. She looked at me closely. "Now it makes sense." At this, I slipped out of the bed, and stood up, still rubbing my arm.

"What makes sense?" Mia asked the question that got lodged in my throat.

"Your dream." Her eyes locked on mine. "Seth is hurt."

I couldn't breath. I couldn't think. I couldn't see. I fell to the ground with a thud.

Emily and Mia were instantly at my side, hushing me and holding me as I rocked back and forth, trying to catch my breath.

"Lily, it's okay. He'll be okay. He will heal quickly." She ran her eyes over me. "But I think it'd be best for both of you if you were with him right now though."

Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath, and let it out through my nose. Keeping my eyes closed, I asked, "Why do I feel like this?"

I felt Mia and Emily shift around me. "It's not our story to tell. You'll find out when the time is right. Come on, it'll make you feel better."

Even though I had my doubts, just the thought of Seth creeping into my mind, when it was positive, I was able to catch my breath. If I thought of him hurt though…not a good idea.

The two girls led me towards the car. It was probably around noon or so, and the day was overcast, as usual. It seemed to fit the mood well. I would have been pissed if it was sunny when I felt like I was having an asthma attack.

I sat in the back of Mia's car, and Emily slid in next to me, running a soothing hand up and down my back as I zoned out, thinking about what I was feeling.

"Did they say anything about the other pack members?" Mia asked fearfully. My eyes snapped into focus on her as she said that.

"Pack members?"

Emily sighed and looked at me. "The boys are crazy, like wolves, and run as them as well. So we call them our pack. And no one else is hurt." At this, I saw Mia visibly relax.

I turned to Emily. "Emily, I don't know why I'm freaking out like this. I really don't like Seth like this, really. He kissed me last night and I left. Why do I feel like I am about to cry?" I was thrust back into my memory of the kiss. It was short and slightly awkward, because I staid as still as a wall, but it sent the most wonderful feeling through me.

Emily sighed and shook her head. "I shouldn't tell you. Ask him though."

"But Emily, what if he's really hurt?" I let out a little yelp.

She turned me towards her. "Lily, I need to tell you this now, before we get in there. He is going to be really hurt. I'm not even sure if he is going to be conscious, but he needs you there. He will be fine soon, sooner than you will believe, but it looks bad now. I just wanted to make sure you knew that before you went and saw him."

Mia put the car in park, and flew out. I saw her being pulled off the ground and passionately kissed by Jake. Sam stood beside him, and Emily gave me a look. Leaning my head back, I let out a few shaky breaths. "Go, I'll be there soon."

She nodded, and did the same as Mia. I let out a few more shaky breaths, and then stepped out of the car, greeted by Quil. He was defiantly becoming like a brother to me. "Are you sure you can do this? You don't need to go in there…" He looked at me closely, looking for any hesitance.

"No, I don't know if I can do this, but I do need to. Because no one seems to want to tell me why I'm close to tears right now." I wiped away where tears would be, but I was shocked to see none had fallen, yet.

Quil nodded and sighed. "Okay, I'll be behind you. And just remember, he'll be okay soon. And…you can leave if it gets too much." He looked at me closely, and then put a brotherly hand on the small of my back, leading me into the house.

I was terrified for what I was about to see.
