Author's Note:
I know I've been away from this story for a long while. I do apologize. This is one story that has stayed with me though so despite how much time has past, I have not forgotten them. The characters still want their stories told.
I hope you guys enjoy what's up ahead. Should be interesting as I put my own spin on mythology that hasn't really been explored before aside from the hybrids that we all ready know.
7. Seth's Story Part 1
As Seth stood on the boundary line with his wife and each of them holding one of the twins in their arms he thought back to the last time he was here twenty four years ago.
A day before Renesmee's party he had gone home with his mother, Leah, and Step-father Charlie.
Since them getting married a year after the Winter Volturi Confrontation, Charlie had moved onto the reservation since it was easier for his new family. They had gotten a new home, a wedding gift from the Cullen's that was built from the ground up with six rooms: the master bedroom and separate rooms for Seth and Leah, a bedroom for Nessie since Charlie wanted his granddaughter to have her own space and two guest bedrooms in case Edward, Bella and Jacob stayed over, in Jacob's case it was whenever Nessie spent the night.
The family of four stood outside with the porch light on.
"You be good, kid," said Charlie, giving his step-son a hug.
"I will Charlie," replied Seth, "And thanks for taking care of my mom."
Charlie nodded, "Well I guess I'll give you three a minute," he said as he headed inside.
"Don't go doing anything stupid," Leah said who was now twenty-four years old at least. "I won't be there to protect you."
"I haven't needed your protection in seven years," Seth replied with a smile, "I think I'll be okay."
"Yeah well you're still fifteen," Leah countered, "Can't blame me for worrying.
Had Seth quit being a wolf at the same time as Leah, he would have been twenty-two but he could never imagine giving up his wolf.
"Be careful little brother," said Leah.
Seth nodded, "Promise."
Leah went inside the house giving their mom some alone time with her son.
"You don't have to go you know," said Sue. "Jacob has even given you permission to stay."
"I know. I want to. I belong with Jacob and Nessie and I like the Cullen's. Besides it's not like we're the only two. Embry is still thinking about joining us."
"A three man pack," said Sue.
"Small but efficient," Seth replied, "Just like it had been with Sam, Jared and Paul. You'll be safe here mom. Quil still has several years to go and Collin and Brady are still protecting the lands. Don't worry about me mom, I'll be fine."
"I know you will. Carlisle and Esme have always been real good to you, always treated you a son and Edward has always treated you like a younger brother. Same goes for Jacob. I know you'll do great on your own out there with them."
"Thanks mom, love you."
Sue hugged her son, "Love you too, Seth. And I know your dad would be proud of you."
Seth smiled at her. Though he could have easily stayed the night in his bed one last time, he had opted to stay at the Cullen's so that he could be there when it was time to leave.
"Now get going," Sue said to him.
Seth smiled one last time and turned his back on her, phasing on the fly. Once in the woods he let out a long howl, his final goodbye to his family and the place he called home.
