You are the thunder and I am the lightening
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally
Naturally- Selena Gomez
Seth
Everything about her is perfect. Her looks, her personality even her name. Arianne, not too unique, not too common.
Seth?
Her eyes. Those deep chocolate eyes that you can get lost in, stare into all day long.
Seth, please stop.
Her beautiful black hair, natural loose curls I just want to run my fingers through.
Come on Seth, I think that's enough.
Her sweet honey voice, her laugh...
Cut it out Seth, you're making me feel sick!
I love her, no wait, it's much more than that...
Please, someone just bite him or something, anything to get him to shut up!
She's my imprint. My imprint. My true... hey!
I felt a set of strong, sharp teeth dig into my side. I turned around and met the eyes of the grey and black wolf behind me, Embry. A stupid, proud grin on his face, showing the same set of razors that had stop my thoughts.
What the hell was that for Embry? His grin got bigger.
You were the one that wouldn't stop thinking about you're imprint.
Shut up Embry!
'Arianne, my true love, my imprint' He tried to imitate my voice, failing but he did succeed in annoying me even more.
Okay, one, I sound nothing like that The grey wolf rolled his eyes And two, she is my imprint and I think I can think about her as much as I want.
I felt very defensive, as though he was attacking Arianne herself. I could see his already huge grin stating to get even bigger. I leant forward slightly, ready to pounce if he made one more stupid comment about her. A growl ripped through my teeth, not a viscous sound but a threatening one. Embry echoed my posture and began to growl as well, a more playful sound than the one I was producing.
Knock it off guys! Instantly both of us returned to our original postures at the sound of the Alphas' voice. Jacob walked up to us, Quil left behind, watching in interest, waiting for a fight to happen between Embry and I. Embry, Seth has imprinted. You cannot taunt him about it because he isn't the only one who has. I have and Quil has. So cut it out! Embry's ears were flat against his head as Jacob's tone got more serious. Sensing victory, Jacob jogged back to were he and Quil were standing.
So, when I imprint... then can I make fun of Seth?
Arianne
I kept replaying the same scene inside of my head. The growl that erupted deep inside the forest. Seth's expression, his words. It's only the legends. What did that mean? The only conclusion I could make was that there were gangs in La Push. One was called The Legends, maybe there was one called The Myths or The Truths. But it didn't make sense. Seth seemed so... nice. I have seen people who belonged to gangs, always angry, covered in tattoos, constantly smelt like smoke and drugs. But not Seth, he was polite, quiet and so... healthy. I couldn't understand what was going on, even more, I couldn't understand why I cared so much.
I was sat in my bedroom all alone. Actually, I'm not even sure you could call this room a bedroom, there was hardly enough room for a bed. Apart from the bed, all I had was a small chest of draws and a lamp on top of them. The walls were an off-white, the carpet, an ugly shade of brown. There was no point in redecorating, as soon as I turned eighteen I would be gone from this house forever, either I leave, or I would be kicked out.
Not only did I keep replaying the scene, but I kept thinking about Seth. He seemed so perfect. His appearance, mainly his eyes, how polite and kind he was towards me, the way I felt safe when I was by him. When I was with him, I felt something I hadn't felt since i was twelve. I felt happy. And I liked it. I felt comfortable and even... loved. But that was impossible. How could he love me? I was looking to deep into this, I stopped thinking about the smallest possibility of him liking me more than a friend, and tried to turn my attention to finding something to do.
The scenery outside was beautiful. The sun shone high in the clear blue sky, I could feel the heat pouring through my window and onto my face. I decided to look around the forest, I ran down the carpeted stairs and quickly wrote down where I was going on a pad, placed near the phone, even though I knew they wouldn't care.
It was even hotter outside. I could feel the rays burning my skin, I found shelter in the forest. The tall trees made the perfect cover from the sun. I started walking, knowing nothing about the forest, directions or hiking, if I got lost I could be gone for days. Despite the facts, I kept walking. An hour must have passed before I found a clearing. It was beautiful. Flowers scattered all around in the vibrant green grass, the trees gave a shadow of beauty across the ground. The only sounds were those of the birds, chirping in the sky. I walked into the centre, just staring at my surroundings.
A familiar sound rang through my ears. I flinched backwards at the growl, my heart beating fast inside of me. Panic flooded my senses, I wasn't scared of many animals, but I was alone, most likely lost and an angry animal was near by. I knew nothing about protecting myself from an attack, especially from a creature that sounded like it was ready to kill. If it did attack, I was defenseless and would have no chance of survival. Animals sensed fear, surly it would of pounced by now.
As soon as the thought entered me mind, a rustling came from behind me. The creature was here. With my heart ready to burst from the fear in my body, I slowly turned around. I was determined to at least have one look at the thing that was about to kill me. But when I did finally see the creature, relief flooded every part of me.
"Seth?" I asked more out of happiness than surprise. He walked forward and I took in what he was wearing, or rather, what he wasn't wearing. Only a simple pair of cut off jeans covered his body. His shirtless chest exposed his tanned muscles, also showing a large tattoo on his right upper arm. Maybe my gang idea wasn't so absurd after all. That though was pushed to the back of my mind as soon as it entered.
"Yeah, it's me" My heart fluttered at the sound of his voice, I couldn't grasp why though. He walked slightly more faster towards me, until he was directly in front of me, his eyes full of worry and confusion. "What are you doing out here, all alone?" My voice felt trapped inside of my throat at the amount of worry in his voice. Finally, I was ready to talk.
"I could ask you the same question" It was a childish response but as soon as he ask me the question, all other answers were forgotten. He rolled he beautiful eyes and returned his gaze back to me.
"I know this place. I've lived here all my life. I can keep safe, you however could get hurt." Guilt came from deep inside of me, but why should I feel guilty? I had only known him for less than a day.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to... get away for a little bit." We stood there, in the middle of the forest, staring deep into each others eyes. Minutes could have passed by, hours until I finally turned back around, starting to walk back to my home. I got to the edge of the clearing before stopping at the sound of his laugh. "What's so funny?" I turned to face him again.
"You're going to walk home? By yourself?" Was he making fun at me? Why was it so funny that I was going back home?
"Yeah. I am." Anger started to lace my voice. He laughed again, before responding.
"You're going to get lost again and then it would be my responsibility if you got hurt." I began thinking about the hidden offer in his words. "I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt." He added under his breath, hoping I didn't hear. I did but chose not to ask about it.
"You know the way back?" A smile formed on his lips, the one I loved to see. He nodded and started to walk the other way. Before I could ask why, he called for me to follow.
"I don't know where you live but when we get back to my house, we can follow the road." I nodded in agreement, understanding his logic.
Together we walked, making small talk and laughing at stupid things. I normally felt awkward talking to a near stranger but with Seth, it was like I knew him forever. Instead of forcing the laughter out, it came naturally.
