Chapter 7

So much had happened in the last 48 hours it was hard to believe. First, it was me and Jason moving to La Push to live with our aunt. That was not to surprising, I was kind of guessing that was coming. What I had not expected was that same day to meet someone like Seth, so wonderful, so full of life. He was like a sun that kept shining throughout rain (which there was a lot of I came to realize) or snow or mist. I felt like I had known him all my life. Then we had met Jacob and Nessie, the angel child, the beautiful girl, the person who's house I was going to now, today. I was nervous, no denying it, but I wasn't quite sure why.

We headed back through the forest, me following Seth at my slow and careful pace. He didn't seem to mind which I was please about. Having a friend (I beamed at the word) that understood my clumsiness and was obviously strong enough to catch me or help me up when I fell, was very reassuring. Seth managed to guide us through the forest as though he knew it like the back of his hand. We went back to his house and I waited outside as he got something. He came out with car keys clinking in his hand. He asked me whether I wanted to drive and even though I had got my license before leaving Denver, he looked like he wanted to and I knew I had to make him happy. I never wanted to Seth's sad face again, I think I would cry if I did. This thought caught me. I had only known him, what, 2 days? I forced thoughts to stop there and got in the car. Seth

told me the car was an old Honda City 1.3 CZi, and laughed at my blank face. He said Jacob taught him how to take it apart and put it back together, like he had done with some car with Rabbit in the name. He grinned broadly as he watch me try to make sense of the complicated car words he was using to describe the building process. I grinned sheepishly back and went bright red. This made me remember my previous thoughts. I changed the subject.

"So where does Nessie live?"

"Take the 110 east bound towards Forks and then turn right at the 101, going south bound" I laughed at his impression of one of those car navigation systems.

"She lives on the other side of Forks, near the Sol Duc river."

The name rang a faint bell. Geography had been my favourite subject.

But next thing I knew, my mind had wondered again to the nervousness I had felt before. It must of shown on my face because Seth looked at me and said " Are you okay?"

"Umm...Just you know..."

"Nervous?"

"Yeah" I almost whispered it I was so embarrassed. My red face didn't help. "I don't know why though"

"Its always a bit nerve-racking when you go to someone's house for the first time, especially someone you've only just met." I looked at his face. His eyes where very sympathetic, but more than I expected, more than his words seemed to be. It made me wonder whether there was something about Nessie or her house or whoever she lived with that wasn't...normal.

"So who does Nessie live with?" I asked.

"Well her mom and dad, and he- various other relatives. Its a big house, with them family come and go" He made this sound perfectly normal, but again there was something under the words that made me think that perhaps not...

"She must have a big family"

"Yeah."

We were quite for a while. It wasn't uncomfortable just a silence when there was nothing to say. With Seth, I found this was easy, my mind could wonder...

Seth turned off the highway and onto a smaller road, then turned off again into a clearing I would never have noticed. To my surprise, he had turned us onto a driveway and as he drove up it a magnificent house came into view. It looked perfect in this spot the whitewash gleaming in the sun. It looked as though it had once been derelict but had been restored and modernised. It was beautiful. As we got out the car and walked up to the steps I faulted.

"Come on Ellie, its not like there's a monster in there." He gestured towards the house. I wasn't sure if he was joking as i studied his face. It was times like these I damned myself for being extremely observant of peoples thoughts. I reddened and Seth pulled me forwards and up the steps...
