Seth POV
I just got off the phone with Athena and I could hear the panic and fear in her voice. I know I need to get to her before she has a heart attack. I look at my phone for the time and it's seven in the morning.I decided to keep her at my house because I wanted her to have time to rest and obviously because I didn't want to bother Athena at three in the morning. I'll have a tough time explaining this to Jacob.I had called Athena and I could hear the sadness in her voice and as soon as I told her about Sapphire fainting she dropped the phone and told me she would come over. She still didn't realize that she had no idea where I lived. She called back about fifteen minutes later realizing the same and after quiet a discussion with her I manage to convince her it was alright and that I would bring her over.
Sapphire stirred in my arms but didn't wake up; I held her closer to me and inhaled her scent for the first time. I smelt so many aromas I could faint; I smelt lilies and roses, tulips and daisies. I slowed down from my super-human pace to just be in my own little world, filled to the brim with her fragrance. I looked down at sapphire; she looked so peaceful I didn't want to return her. Her face was the only thing that wasn't covered in muddy leaves and pine needles from her venture into the forest.
I cringed at the thought of when she just stopped the car and ran there. I thought she was going to jump off the cliff but I realized she would never do that but when I heard the last wail in pain. I was horror struck I went straight into protector mode my first thought was did someone or thing attack her. I was relieved when I didn't see nor smell anyone, but I looked down at my sapphire, who was shaking and thrashing all over the place. I shook the thought out of my head as Sapphire sighed in my chest.
I was close to her house because everyone knew where everyone lived. I saw Athena running towards me her arms out stretched; she looked like she hasn't slept a wink. She slammed into me and I shifted sapphire weight and steadied Athena. "Seth" she huffed trying to calm herself. I saw her face fall as she looked at her sister covered in earth. She touched her cheek and Sapphire stirred but did not wake. "Athena" unshed tears still sat on her eye lashes. "Bring her in the house."
She instructed and I followed her into their house. She headed straight up the stairs into what I guessed was Sapphire's room. Was amazed at her room, I guess she loved blue and when I looked up at the ceiling the galaxies came to life against the black paint. I laid her down on her deep blue bed. "Would you like some water Seth? You must be exhausted." I wasn't and I didn't want to leave, but I know since we aren't together in human terms that would be awkward. So I said, "Sure, I'll go get some." And I went down stairs feeling gloomy.
Sapphire POV
When I opened my eyes the pain was numb, nut still there. I realized that warm tingling feeling was gone, I missed it and just thinking about made think of who caused it: Seth. He found me and carried me back to bed, I'm not one for thank yous but I think he deserved one. I jumped up instantly giving me a headache. I went straight to my bathroom mirror and stared at my eyes. They where a blue-ish purple look, it almost looks like my original eye color and my new eye color where fighting over my eyes. I took a shower and let the hot water hit my back
Once out of the shower I changed my outfit to some shorts and blue top plus snickers. I trotted down the stairs in look for Athena or mom but neither was home. I grabbed a Gatorade and locked the door behind me. I saw my car on the drive way and hopped in and got instant head rush. I headed for la push.
Once I got to the beach I hoped out there were a lot of people here. So I put in my earphones and cranked it up. And I started walking away from everyone, trying to clear my head about Nessie's party. I was alone and away from everyone when I realized there was a shadow following me. And I turned to an angry Leah Clearwater. She looked furious so I took my earphones out and cocked an eyebrow. "I don't like you," she started. "Well I don't like you either!" I snarled.
She started walking toward me like backing an animal into a corner. I didn't like that, "with my brother" she finished. I frowned that was what she was angry about, that I could relate to. I knew she will hit me for saying this but it's all I can come up with, "well I don't hear him complaining!" she turned a deep red and started shaking. "Listen you better stay away from him before someone ends up hurt!" I was knee deep in water and I was starting to really hating this chick.
"I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU HURT ME!" I bellowed. After all she was just bluffing, right? The shaking had run all throughout her body, she looked like she was having a secure.. She was really close to me and I tilted my head to the side what was going on. She smiled and evil smile and her skin started changing and all my instincts told me to run but I was waste deep in water so I covered my face just in time. "LEAH!" someone bellowed from far away. I felt like someone took a butcher knife and ran it along my arm starting from my elbow pushing my back into the salt water. I felt hot liquid gush down my arm, but my attention was directed at the huge wolf, the size of a horse, that bared its teeth.
I gasped and it looked like it was smiling. My arm burned from all the salt, the water surrounding us was red blood. My eyes burned like last time and I was feeling all this pain because of her. I let out a wail that turned into a snarl, the pain in my eyes, I welcomed it. Two things happened in that instant, one Leah started backing away, two the water around me started steaming and more importantly I was steaming. I started to walk toward her like she did me, now it was my turn to trap the animal in a corner.
She whined the water was boiling and was evaporating, I smiled I didn't know what was happening but seeing her whimper was enjoyable she ran off into the forest I was so tempted but my body was trying to calm itself down and that's not what I wanted. Everything tingled and when I looked at my skin it was so red it looked like fire under my skin but that was impossible, right?
Athena ran to me horror struck but as soon as she touched me she instantly pulled her hand back. Her chest heaved and she looks like she was having trouble breathing. Emotions of shock covered her face as she looked at my skin. She looked absolutely blown away for the current event as she looked at me with her mouth open. My blue eyes meet her green ones in absolute shock as well when I had figured out I was practically on fire. Then as soon as it occurred it ended and I went back to my normal state as if nothing supernatural had occurred. Athena then looked at me "what the the?..." she she asked finally after our moments of silents. I still could not respond due to shock.
