JJ-Jefferu: When does Ember come in!

Ray: Will you be quiet? She has told you several times. Not to mention she runs her ideas by you.

Ember: But I want to spend time with you Ray!

TrappedinaPhoto: -drops head into hands- why do I even bother showing up some days…

Seth:I'll do the disclaimer so that you can go take a nap –pats TrappedinaPhoto's back-

TrappedinaPhoto: Thank you cousin. I love you.

Seth: TrappedinaPhoto does not own anything related to Twilight. If she did, she would be rubbing it in JJ-Jefferu's face. Constantly. She does own Ray, June and Nikki. Thankfully.

Ray: -hugs Seth- can we go eat? I'm hungry.


Now the wolf looked worried. It trotted over to me, and nudged me with its head. The eyes held same shade of brown that Seth's eyes had. This too shocked me.

"Seth? I stuttered out, and it barked something that could have been taken as laughter. I was full of disbelief, and was probably having a mental breakdown and hallucinations all at the same time; you saw it all the time on daytime TV.

"If you are, write my name with your paw," and by god, call me crazy, but one letter at a time, it wrote R-A-Y-A-N-A. I grabbed the tree for support, and then collapsed down onto the grass again when I couldn't get a solid grip. The wolf turned tail and disappeared back into the brush, and after a moment, was replaced with a worried looking Seth.

"Ray-Ray, are you okay?" he asked leaning down look at me.

"No," I replied just as it began to lightly drizzle. Seth looked up at the sky, and then back down to me. My face said it all. He had to carry me completely; I could not move a muscle. It was entirely possible that I had whited out, or fainted from shock, because before I knew it, we were back in my new homes kitchen. I was set down onto a chair at the table, and Seth sat down across from me; I wondered if he was wondering what he should do, or could do. Of course, I couldn't be sure. It's not possible to read minds.

I was staring at nothing when I thought I heard Charlie come in.

"Ray? Are you in the kitchen?" Charlie's called into the house. His voice sounded so distant to me. Seth glanced at my staring face.

"We are in here Charlie," Seth called back, realizing that I was incapable of speech.

"Seth, what are you doing here? I thought that you were supposed to…" Charlie said, stopping dead in his tracks when he turned the corner and saw my face.

"Ah, well," Charlie shifted from foot to foot, uncomfortable, "He isn't lying, Ray. I just hope he didn't take his pants off infront of you." He spoke the last part with a glare aimed in Seth's direction.

That caught my attention.

"You knew Uncle Charlie?" my staring shifted to his direction.

"I only know parts. But I don't want to know. So there," he said with a sense of finality.

I sat and stared upward at the ceiling. Charlie turned and went up the stairs, I could tell by the loud creaking of the stairs as he climbed them; he had come home for a reason, obviously.

"Well, I'm leaving now," Charlie said coming back into view. He took a look at my face, and then spoke to Seth, "Get her some melatonin and a cold glass of water." Seth looked confused. "It's in the cabinet above the sink." Seth nodded as Charlie left again.

Eventually Seth and I moved into the living room. I sat on the couch for awhile, not moving. Seth sat on the couch beside me watching TV, and probably watching me.

"You're taking this pretty well," he said glancing sideways at me.

"Uh, do I really have a choice?"

"Guess not," he said and turned back to the screen.

After a couple of silent moments, he went "You know I could,"

"Change the channel?" I interjected.

"Or that," he said and flipped through channels, finally stopping at some action movie.

"I was going to say I could leave."

"Nope, this is fine," after which was then filled with more awkward silence.

"So what are you then?" I tried to break the silence, and learn something about him.

"I'm a Sagittarius."

"You know what I meant."

"They tell us it's shape-shifting."

"So, crosses, silver bullets, holy water won't hurt you?"

He chuckled at that, "I'm not a werewolf."

"Hey, I'm from Hollywood. Leave me alone," I couldn't help from laughing.

"So if you bite me, I'll be fine?" I questioned.

"Why don't you find out?"

"Uh," I replied, and he grabbed my arm, pulled up my sleeve, and lightly bit my wrist. I laughed when he started tickling me, while keeping his teeth locked on my wrist. He playfully growled as I pulled way. I patted his head, "Good puppy." He promptly leaned in close and licked me cheek.

"Eww. Gross," I wiped my cheek, then wiped my hand on his shirt, "Doggy slobber." He just laughed, at me, and I couldn't help but laugh with. He turned and looked at the back kitchen, then looked over at the clock.

"Hey, I gotta go. Do you want to come down to the bonfire tonight though?"

"No, I still need to unpack and settle in."

"Well, can I call or text you later then?" he asked, getting up to leave. I was a little disheartened to let him leave. I was going to be lonely. No-one else was home, and I wasn't due to restart school until the beginning of the spring semester.

"Okay, fine," I pouted up at him, but gave him my cell phone number anyway. I walked with him to the back door; I just accepted that he was going to turn into a wolf probably and run off into the forest to get to wherever he was going. He pulled me into a tight hug, before I had a chance to ask a question that was pressing on my mind, but when he released me I asked, "So when are you going to tell me what you are?"

He chuckled, and winked at me, then went out the back door and jogged into the woods behind the house. Once he was out of sight of the porch, I returned to my room. All of my clothes in my duffel and other items still needed to be unpacked and put away. Afterwards I would probably inventory the house for items that I was probably going to need to survive.

While walking up the stairs, she smiled to herself thinking about Seth. "He's a sweet kid" she thought.

It was just a little odd that he could turn into a wolf at will.


Ember: They are cute –smiles hugely-

Ray: Hush!

Seth: -laughs and covers Ray's eyes- Review?
