sooo here's another chapter:) it should start getting heated from this moment on hehehe just hope i dont get all confuseing later on! enjoy:)
Who would've thought?
"Linda! Seth is here!" Esme called as I finished getting ready. I wore a blood red sleeveless dress that went to my knees. It looked ripped at the bottom but still classy. It hung loose except for on my ribcage where it had a back belt holding it down. My hair was let into loose curls. I smiled at myself in the mirror.
"Coming!" I said opening my door. I walked down the stairs and Alice squealed bouncing up and down. "Linda! You look gorgeous!" she squeaked. I rolled my eyes. I thought that was the point for a date. Look good and be good.
'I'm going to have to kill Seth and lock Linda in a room for the rest of her life.' Jasper thought.
I giggled and Seth came into view. He was wearing a button up that was half sleeve and a pair of slacks. The look on his face was one of awe. I blushed looking away and saw a flash. Esme. "I wanted to take a picture." she said sheepishly. I smiled at her but grabbed Seth's hand.
"Esme. This isn't a big deal. Just a small date at the diner. We'll be back soon" I assured her and she snapped another picture. It practically blinded me for a few more snaps and Seth led me out laughing. When we got to the diner, there was a table that had a rose in the middle. I blushed when I saw the people in the diner smile brightly. "Linda…this is um…my mom." Seth cleared his throat pointing to the hostess.
I smiled at her. She seemed so sweet. "Hello. Its nice to meet you" I said bowing my head
. "No, its nice to meet you. Seth's been talking about you for a week and I was worried he went mental." "Mom!" he groaned.
A few people in the diner chuckled and I giggled. She led us to our seats and we ordered two burgers with a side of fries. He would obviously eat most of the burgers but I'd take half of one. We also ordered one large chocolate shake. It felt like one of those sappy movies where we drink from the same shake. I actually like it though.
"So what's your favorite color?" he asked grabbing a fry and dipping it into the shake before he put it in his mouth. I pursed my lips. "I've never really thought about it but it wouldn't be pink. I hate pink." I shuddered thinking about the color. "Oh well mine is red."
"I thought it was blue?" his mom asked coming from nowhere.
I jumped in surprise and she laughed lightly. "No…its red." He said blushing. I giggled feeling bad. That must be embarrassing. But I couldn't speak because right when I thought it couldn't be bad for me, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Renesmee walked in and sat at the far end of the table.
I grew very angry and irritated. They were spying on us? "Seth. Maybe we should go somewhere else. I spy parasites and they're annoying me." I whispered the growl.
He nodded understanding. We paid the bill and left the store after I through a murderous glare towards the table peepers. Jasper tensed and looked up only to look away cussing. "Oh yeah. Be afraid jasper. Be very afraid," I said to low for human ears. We got into his car and drove to a park. It was dark out so no one was around. "Hey Seth. Can I see something?" I asked after we sat on the swings in silence. He looked at me. "What?" "Can I see what its like to be you? So I can see when ever you come and all." I rushed. He laughed. "Sure but you have to let me see your mind." He grinned. I bit my lip and nodded.
It would be easy. I grabbed his face in between my hands and closed my eyes taking in all of his memories. The happy ones when he was a kid. The sad ones of his father dieing. It got a little awkward at the end because of what he thought of me. Then I showed him what I remember when I was with the couple, then meeting renesmee. That's all anyone ever saw. No one saw the tortured pain of my existence.
"Wow." He breathed. I opened my eyes and saw we were face to face. His heartbeat picked up rhythm and mine began to beat. He inched closer and our noses were touching. Our lips were a pencil tip away. "Seth." I breathed. I could feel his warm breath on my face.
"Shh." He whispered. "Seth…" I said a little louder. But he didn't listen. I pushed him away. "Seth! We can't! if we do this it means we're going out!" "Isn't that a good thing? We both love each other!" "Nothing is good with me!" I shouted at him. "I've been alone all my life and that's because I'm dangerous." I whispered. He pulled me into a hug and sighed. "I don't believe that Linda." He said lowly.
"Yeah but I do." I muttered. 'You're very negative aren't you?' he thought. I nodded and he chuckled. "I get it okay? It's the whole 'first boyfriend' for the girls. Lets just let this flow naturally. You know I'm ganna make you mine and why fight it when you already love me?" he asked very smugly.
I rolled my eyes because it had nothing to do with a first boyfriend. It just had to do with boy's…guy's…men in general. "Do I love you?" I asked. "Yes. That's why your heart beats whenever we're close." He answered. "But how do I know that I really do love you?" I asked worried I might hurt him. He grabbed my chin and lifted my face till our lips touched. A burst of electricity flowed all over me and my heart picked up.
First kiss. Sweet.
Second kiss. Sweeter.
Third kiss. Moving. Sweetest of them all.
He slowed to a stop and moved away. I immediately missed the contact. "Did you feel anything?" he asked in a breathless voice. I just stared into his eyes. I did feel something. "Why?" I said without thinking. His perfect brows knitted in the middle. "Why what?" he asked confused. "Why did it take so long to find you?" I said before kissing him again. Sweet, sweet victory.
We kissed for a while. Our lips moving in sync. I had to end the kiss or we'd be here all night. "Seth I have to go." I said standing up. He nodded. "I'll come by tomorrow at 11 sharp." He stated.
I blushed seeing him at the house as we sneaked little kisses. "Yeah. I can see that." I muttered before I ran off. I calmed myself before I came in view of the house. I could hear tapping and sighs. I bit my lip and opened the door. Angry Cullen's. I sighed closing the door and facing them.
"Your curfew was at nine-thirty….it is currently eleven." great. Hour and a half late. "It does not even take a human that long to come back home." Alice hissed. I was just about to make an excuse when I remembered that there were peepers. "Oh no. I know what your doing. You spied on me!" I shouted.
"We did not spy on you! We simply checked how your date was going." Alice said crossing her arms. I narrowed my eyes. "Bella. They spied didn't they?" I asked looking at her.
She squirmed and huffed. "I don't do good under pressure!" she whined and I growled.
"Mom!" renesmee groaned. "That passed the line! You had no reason to come! You didn't even look casual! What kinds of people come in together looking like they're from Sherlock Holmes?" I yelled. "We were anxious." "You should've waited till I got home!" "Well you're here now. So what happened? Did you guys kiss? Make out?" Alice rushed. I blushed and she squealed.
"I knew it! Oh Linda tell me, tell me please!" she begged. I crossed my arms. "I don't thing so." I said in a shaky breath. Esme stalked off to the kitchen. "Please!" she begged pouting. I rolled my eyes. "I invented that move! Don't you dare try to use it on me!" I shouted. Something sounded like it broke in the kitchen and we all stopped. "Oh drat." Esme sighed. We walked to the kitchen to see Esme putting a cutting board in the garbage. "Esme…what happened?" I asked.
She looked at me, rejection and hurt showing in her motherly eyes. I could feel anger and hurt rolling off of her. Jasper gasped. "Esme. You're angry." He stated as if it were impossible. Everyone else gasped. She grabbed a knife and began to cut slices of chicken. "I'm not angry…slightly irritated. But not…anGRY." She growled the last part and broke the knife this time.
Why was she angry? "Esme…she just wants privacy. That's all." Edward said calmly. I got wide eyed. She was angry because I wanted a smidge of secrecy? I laughed darkly and walked away trying to go to the stairs. "This family is unbelievable!" I shouted. I felt sick and hot.
My skin was getting clammy and I was sweating. "Linda she didn't mean-Linda! You're burning up!" jasper called worried. I looked at him confused. Carlisle came to my side and touched my forehead. He got wide eyed and backed away. "Jasper. Move!" he yelled. I felt hurt.
That was very rude but then anger rose. Why would he do that? I'm feeling sick! My body shook and everyone was confused and worried. "Lin…" the voices trailed off when I woke up in the forest.
'Hello? Anybody here?' I called but nothing was heard in return. All that was heard was a howl in the distance.
I started to panic. I ran anywhere and everywhere.
'ANYONE HEAR ME? PLEASE! ESME! JASPER! HEEELP!' I screamed but nothing more than howls.
'HELP ME! PLEASE! RENESMEE! ESME?' nothing.
I began crying hysterically but they only came out as really loud howls. I ran and ran and I got to this house that was a shabby red. A guy in a wheel chair was there, looking around in wonder and concern until he laid eyes on me.
He looked worried. "Are you okay?" he asked. I howled. 'NO! IM NOT OKAY! I DON'T KNOW WHERE I AM OR WHAT HAPPENED!' only more howls and whines.
He narrowed his eyes. "You're new." His eyes widened. "You're a girl." He breathed. I realized he couldn't help and fell to the floor. I don't know what happened but I passed out.
I heard voices in the distance. "She came, cried, and fell to the floor." "Alright Billy. All we need to do is find out who she is. I'm really surprised there's this many people phasing." The voices spoke?
Phasing? Like Seth phasing? I got his power? Great! This is just great! I whined opening my eyes. I saw the older guy Sam from the wolf pack and the rest of them.
The guy in the wheel chair I saw rolled to the front of my view. He patted my ear. "We need you to change back human, sweetie." He said lowly. I saw Seth and whined some more. We were still outside. I stood up and went to him. He was confused but allowed it. I looked him in the eyes and whined.
'Seth. Please help' I cried.
"I don't know what you're saying." He said apologetically. I bowed my head sniffing as tears fell down my nose. "Do you know him? Is that what your saying?" Jacob asked. I looked up at him hopeful and sneezed. They still stunk. "I'll take that as a yes." "Billy! Carlisle Cullen called! He said his daughter has gone missing!" a woman said. She came running outside and I saw it was Seth's mother. They all looked at her. "Linda?" Seth asked as his heart beat faster.
"Calm down Seth. She probably went for a walk or something." "She wouldn't leave the house with out telling someone!" he hissed at Jacob. Sue shook her head. "He said she disappeared into thin air. He was practically sobbing, begging us to see if we found her on our land." She said in a shaky breath.
I barked and they looked at me.
'ME! ITS ME!' I whined some more.
"Hold on sweetie. One of our wolves girlfriends has disappeared." Billy said apologetically. I huffed. These people are idiots! "He also said she ran a fever so she might be sick." Sue looked on the verge of tears. Seth let out a cry and buckled to the floor. "She looked fine. She didn't feel hot." "You wouldn't know, idiot. You run a fever." The girl wolf said.
I cried some more knowing there was no way they could hear me. I howled again. "Calm down. Please. We'll explain what you are in a minute." Sam said. I snarled shaking my head. I pointed to sue and whined. "You know her to? Sue do you know any other girls on the rez that looked like they were ganna phase?" Jacob asked.
I growled and shook my head again. I looked at Seth and he was still wearing the shirt we when on a date with. His lips were swollen and I barked nipping on his shirt. "You want him to take off his shirt?" they asked confused. Two of them laughed and the girl smirked. I snarled infuriated. I banged my head against a tree.
"Whoa! All right! Enough!" Sam said but I didn't listen. I banged my head a couple more times then fell to the floor. Tears rolling down my face again.
'Seth. Think. Please recognize me.' I begged.
The phone in sues hand rand and she put it on speaker.
"?" "Please tell me you've found her." He choked out. You could hear sobbing and screaming in the back round. "Linda I'm sorry! Please come back! I promise to not bother you about Seth again! Just come home!" I heard Alice scream. I covered my ears whining more. "I'm sorry." Sue sobbed. It was the first time I heard Carlisle cry.
"Oh my god! You guys are ridiculous! We should be happy that she left! We don't need that ugly troll here!" Rosalie yelled through the phone. I sound came through the phone like rocks hitting each other. "SHE'S FAMILY ROSE!" Alice screeched. I howled again. "Carlisle, I'm sorry but I must let you go. If we find her we will bring her to you." "Yes. Of course." Carlisle said hanging up. I howled.
'CARLISLE! ESME! ALICE!' I screamed. "Please. Calm down. Relax. You will change back." Sam said in a tired voice. I shook my head. I couldn't calm down. Their worried about me while I'm here. "Calm down." He said in a strong voice. It sounded doubled like he was over powering me. Nothing happened though.
I just got angrier because he tried to control me. I snapped at him and he backed up just before I got his stomach. Everyone gasped. They looked to Jacob and he shrugged.
"Calm down" his voice rand like Sam's and I snarled clawing at him. I got his arm and he yelped. "She's not in either of our packs?" Sam asked. I shook my head growling. "Awesome!" she wolf breathed. I pushed Seth on to the floor. He looked at me and I pushed him again. "What do you want?" he roared.
He began shaking and I pushed him one last time before he phased. He snarled t me and I snarled back. I lunged for him and he landed on his back. I whined again touching my nose to his.
'It's me! Linda!' I cried.
He kicked me off and wiped his nose growling. I fell to the floor giving up. He flung dirt on my paw and in my face and I got up shaking it off.
I walked to him and he growled. I bowed my head and he stopped growling. I walked closer whining and rubbing my head with his. I pushed him over and licked his face crying.
'Remember me.' I sobbed laying on him.
He moved me off gently and then went inside of the red house. He came out 5 minutes later and grabbed my face. He had tears in his eyes. "Linda?" he choked out in a sob. I whined licking his face. Everyone gasped. "Linda? How is that possible?" Sam asked loudly. I whined laying my head in his lap. "She doesn't know."
He replied tightly. He scratched my head and I purred. I wanted to go home. I wanted to be with the Cullen's. I whined again and they sighed. "Lets take her home." Jacob said and they went behind the tree to phase. I stood up and walked to them. "I should probably…"sue trailed off as she saw the phone she dropped under my paw. I looked at it then her and she smiled. "It's fine. They'll bring you there anyway." She assured me.
I nodded and followed them back into the forest. Owls and crickets and ravens. I could hear them chuckling as I flinched from each sound. After we walked for about 30 minutes I was loosing energy. I had no idea what time it was and why I was so tired. I tipped a little and one of the guys growled bringing Seth to come to me and snarl at him. They stood there snarling and snapping at each other I got irritated.
'SHUT UP AND BRING ME HOME OR I SWEAR I WILL KILL BOTH OF YOU! IM TIRED. CONFUSED AND VERY AGGITATED!' I screamed.
They both flinched and whined backing up into a line. We walked for about two minutes more when I couldn't walk anymore and fell to the floor. Seth whined lifting me with his nose. I was too tired though.
The black wolf went behind a tree and phased. When he came back out he threw a shirt at me. "Go behind tree and relax. You'll turn back into yourself." He explained. I stood up with shaky legs and grabbed the shirt going behind a tree.
I lied down and closed my eyes. Relax. Seth. When you're with him you're calm. I thought of Seth and his sweet innocent smile. The way he blushed when we said something cheesy or when Emmett would say something stupid. I smiled as I felt my body change from hairy to skin.
'Sam is this really necessary? She was on our land. We can kill her without Seth or Jacob knowing.'
'PAUL! What's your problem man? What if they planned to kill Rachel?'
'I'd tear them to pieces.'
'Yeah, exactly so shut it. That's his imprint and now she's one of us. I'm all cool as long as she doesn't hurt me.'
'Dude! She's a Cullen! They aren't allowed on our land!'
'Well as much as I hate to admit it, she's Seth's imprint and they might get married. We wouldn't need the treaty. And think of what she could do. She told Jake she could never die. The elders would love her.'
'And she has this power to phase wolf. She even smells like us when she does.'
'That doesn't change anything!
' 'PAUL, JARED. ENOUGH!' I heard Sam cut off their conversation.
I'd have to thank Jared later.
'As much as you don't like it, Paul, she's a mate of our brother. Jacob has to deal with you and his sister so you can deal with Seth and a…. immortal.'
'God you won't even insult the freak!'
They got quiet. I was very irritated but to tired to really care. I put on the shirt slowly as I heard their conversation pick up.
'She probably stole some spirit walker energy from Seth. If she really did then she's a quiluete now too.'
'This is freaking bullsh*t man!'
'Paul I swear to god you better stop or I'll rip you're leg off! She hasn't hurt anyone and I doubt she will! If she's Seth's soul mate then she HAS to be good! Not many girls caught Seth's interest and the only one who did was freakin' Barbie! Try playing action figures with a guy who dresses up Barbie to help pets!' one boy yelled.
They all burst into laughter, leaving Seth, Jacob, and Leah very confused. 'Do you know what they're laughing at?' 'No but I bet its about you' Jacob laughed. Seth huffed and Leah growled.
'What the heck is taking her so long? Its been twenty minutes!' 'She was tired. She probably fell asleep.' 'Well then go get her Seth! It's like three o'clock in the morning and I'm tired! I wanna go home!' She snapped at Seth.
I stood up and wobbled from behind the tree. I felt like I was drunk. 'God! I am so jealous of Seth! She's freakin hotter when she's dirty!' 'God you're disgusting!' I just climbed on Seth's back and sighed. "You're fur is so clean Seth. Like a doggy who just came from a spa." I giggled. Did I really just say that? Oh god I'm going crazy. They all burst into laughter and began walking again. "Seth." I called tugging on his ear. It twitched and hit me in the face. 'Yeah?' he thought.
"They were talking about you playing with Barbie." I whispered. He stopped walking and his mind went blank but Leah's played full memory for me. Seth speaking for Barbie and throwing a tantrum when his mom took her from him. "Oh Seth." I breathed holding in laughter. They howled in laughter though.
'I'll tell you his dirty little secret.' Jacob sang.
I smiled closing my eyes. They calmed down and kept walking.
'You know…why didn't we just run?'
'Because we're idiots.'
'Why don't we run now? Its not like she'll realize we dropped her or anything. She's passed out. She hasn't said a word in 10 minutes.' Has it really been that long? But I'm still awake!
'Paul I really hope Seth bites you.'
'Yeah yeah I'm hating on his mega-hot imprint. What ever' he mentally rolled his eyes.
'Paul, Jared has a point. She's Seth's imprint so it changes a lot of things. Sue even likes her now and she's an elder.' 'Yeah well I don't really care. That's their opinion just like you didn't like jakes imprint.'
'There's the difference: didn't. I didn't like her but now I do since I am aware she wont harm a human.'
'Yeah? And what about the leeches?' it was quiet for a while.
'The mama leach seems nice.' Jared commented. Paul groaned. Esme. They were talking about Esme. Tears rolled down my eyes involuntarily. Seth flinched and yelped standing on to feet. I rolled off of him and landed with a thud on the floor breaking my arm. Snapping my eyes shut and gasping for air that suddenly left my body, I screamed clutching my arm. Just like before.
The angry villagers.
Won't stop till I'm dead.
Need to protect myself.
'What do we do? She wont stop screaming and those parasites will think we did something!' before I could get into a defensive crouch, something hit me over my head and I went into darkness.
The last thing I hear was a fierce growl.
The feel of the cold floor woke me up. Voices in the background helped me focus on what happened. "She better wake up soon! If we wait any longer those parasites are ganna find us!" "Its your fault she was killed, Leah! You hit her over the head!" "She can't die Seth! You know that!" the voices yelled. Seth? Why was he here in my room? Was I in my room? I heard insects and birds all around me. Not like when I'm in my room. Even more clear. And I wasn't on my bed but something cold and hard. Something easy to recognize anywhere. Ground. What happened? All I remember from today was the date and going home- I shot up and snapped opened my eyes. They all yelled backing up. I remember.
I changed into a wolf. I was going home and Seth thought I peed on him. I got really angry. How could he think that? But I was too tired to do anything about that now, and I had a really big killer headache.
"Linda?" Seth asked wary. I looked at him. "Don't bother saying anything. Just phase and bring me home. I want to go home. I want Esme." I said as a tear fell. That was very random. I knew I wanted Esme but that just came out of the random. I missed her comforting arms, right now especially because of the chaos. Seth's features warmed.
"Come on Linda. We'll take you home." He said warmly. He let out a hand for me and I cried grabbing it and hugging him. "I'm so confused." I whispered. He nodded and went to phase. When I got onto his back I think I was in the middle of sleeping and awake because I couldn't move but could hear everything,
'Do you think she's asleep?' 'Yeah so just start dragging her.' 'Leah! That's his imprint!' 'So? Just because he loves her doesn't mean he has to carry her all the time. She's weak.' 'She's stronger than you.' I heard Seth and Leah talk. Leah snorted.
'Please Seth. Don't make me kill your imprint.' 'Leah! I swear you put one hair on her and I'll kill you myself!' Seth snarled 'If you could catch me!' Leah teased. Then I felt the earth shake on Seth's skin, or was it just him? "Enough you guys! I'm tired of the fighting! I'm not even in your pack anymore!" Sam yelled. Then more shaking began.
"We're almost to the Cullen's so you need to shut up." Jared said. Almost home? To Esme? "Esme…" I choked out. Tears were falling and Seth flinched.
'She's just crying…she's just crying…' he repeated. Leah and Jacob laughed. I growled lightly. "Seth…kill you…I…never…peed…" I mumbled out. More laughing. "I guess she can hear what you think still" 'I like her already. I know we'll be cool.' Bradey said. I smiled lightly but focused on finding Esme.
'God please, please! Tell me they found my new baby girl. I can't loose her. Not now. Not ever. Please. I beg you' 'Lord please Find my new baby sister. She already has given me new hope and more love. If I could I'd think of her as a daughter. Please. Bring her home.' 'I swear I will stop calling the dog a dog if you just please keep the troll away from here.' 'Come on Linda. Come home. I know you can.' 'I cant see anything! How am I to know if she's okay?' 'I hope the family can hold if she doesn't come home. God forbid she doesn't but there is still a chance…no I cant say that. She WILL come home.' 'Renesmee will be heart broken if Linda doesn't come back. Everyone is heart broken. Well…besides Rosalie…I know she'll come though…she has to come.' The voices said.
I cried. I cried some more but silently. "Okay I think we're close. I'm ganna call him now." Sam told them. I closed my mind so I wouldn't have an overload on the thoughts.
"Sam?" Edward called. "Yeah um…we have something that belongs to you." He replied. I opened my mind to only a few people. Like Esme, Alice, jasper, and Edward. Oh and Sam. "What?" Edward asked confused. I looked into his mind and he saw Sam staring at me.
A gasp and a relieved yell. "Linda! They have Linda!" 'Linda! Oh god Linda!' 'They brought back Linda? Dang, we're ganna have to be nice now.' Footsteps flying. When they come to a pause I feel a breeze and I know the Cullen's are here. "Linda! What's wrong with her? What did you do? Linda? Are you okay?" jaspers voice rang.
"We didn't do anything!" Sam said. A growl erupted through the group. "that's not what's going though Paul's head. He finds it hilarious that Leah killed Linda!" "It was an accident. Seth accidentally dropped her and she had an attack Leah thought it would knock her out…not kill her."
"That's not what she's saying." he hissed. I coughed feeling awkward. I was right here. "Linda?" Esme asked in a shaky voice. She sounded as if she was crying. I opened my eyes a smidge and saw her motherly face. More tears fell from my eyes.
"Esme!" I cried jumping in to her arms. The contact of her cold skin immediately relaxed me. But I was still confused. She cradled me while her knees gave out and we hit the floor. I sobbed in her arms as she shushed me. "Its alright. Your home now. Sh. don't worry. I'm here." She soothed.
"I think it'd be best if we came back tomorrow." "Yes. That's probably best." Sam and Carlisle spoke.
I sniffed looking at Sam. "I'll try to find out what's going on for you Sam." I told him. His features softened and he nodded. Esme picked me up and brought me inside as the wolves left. "Are you okay Linda? They didn't hurt you did they?" she asked feverishly. I shook my head cuddling into her arms. "They killed you."
"I fell and broke my arm…and I freaked out." I explained. It was silent for a few seconds and I thought I would sleep, but that quickly changed. "So what happened?" Alice asked. I sighed looking at them but barely telling who was who. "I phased into a wolf" I said then quickly faded into the shadows of my mind before I could be bothered again.
so you guys:) how should the cullens react? badly? or should they still be loving of her just as they were before? hmm...REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW!3
