VERY IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE: Okay so I share this story with my friend and I write Athena's prospective (and upload every chapter) so since my friend is control of her character she wanted the wolf pack to still be one pack (or you know got over the whole fighting thing and are friends again) so in this chapter they go to La Push (as much as I wanted to keep this with the story she disagreed and wanted them to still be friends ...so you know what am I suppose to do?) anyways its just so you know so your not confused (cuz I know they dont get along at the end of the book)
apphire POV
I had a really weird dream like some just dropped the sun on my stomach. The sun had arms and was really hard but it's heat was comfortable it reminded me of Seth. SETH! I woke up instantly and myself incapable of moving I struggled. " Seth!" I tried to whisper in his ear gently but he just giggled. I could breathe and I couldn't help but think this is a stupid way to die. "SETH! GET YOUR WOLF ASS OFF ME!" I yelled in his ear I know he didn't mean to smother me but he was as hot as an iron and my breathing was faltering. He moved a little and laughed I could almost see the grin. I playfully slapped him and he held my hand against his face and kissed me on the lips. I put my other hand behind his neck pulling him closer. He sat on his hind legs and pulled me up on my knees, his hand clutching my waist.
I heard someone clear their throat and he let go of me and turned. " hi, Athena." he said innocently I sighed a sigh of relief I was glad it wasn't my mom. " hmm, sapphire can I talk to you?" she asked she sounded worried I wonder what's wrong was it Seth? No, and I wouldn't care anyway but I kissed Seth on the cheek and he gave a low growl of frustration because it was his cheek and my sister interrupted something important I guess. I left him in my bed probably frowning it made me frown so I huffed, " this better be good!" she sighed " sapphire, I'm scared, I had this dream and when I woke I was bleeding like I was in my dream!" I could hear how worried she sounded and scared. I sighed how are we supposed to deal with this. Alec is after my sister and I'm sure Leah still plotting about my death, it's amazing how fast we just seem to have found enemies. " maybe you should go to the Cullen's and ask them if they know what's happening." to be honest I don't want to go but at the same time I do want to go to find out about my sister. But after the story about the volturi I don't want anything to do with their kind. I still like them but not as much as the wolves now. She sighed in agreement and I'm sorry I can't help her so I did something I would never do again, I hugged her. I have never hugged nobody and I didn't want to, this whole imprinting thing has it's down sides.
She was shocked at first but the excepted it. We hugged for god knows how long. I could her silent cries and I tried to soothe her but I'm not that good at being nice or comforting. My sister is usually loved but I'm tolerated. I pulled away cause this was getting weird. I turned and went back down the corridor when I hit my hip on the table an yelled," OUCH! Damn table!" which sent Seth to be right at my side and rubbed my hip with his big, warm hands. " you ok, love?" I giggled at my nickname. I felt so girly around him and small. He makes me feel like I never have before. Loved. I nodded and he picked me up bridal style, and walked to my room and shut the door behind him. He put me down outside my bathroom and kissed my forehead, I went inside and showered and washed my Hair which takes along time. When I was done I heard my stereo playing some of my favorite songs from Linkin park: Faint, Breaking The Habit, and a bunch others I adore. He was chuckling and he sang along to my most favorite song of LP. Faint. I giggled he liked it how Awesome was this I walked out to wear he was I made sure I had a towel wrapped me. When he saw me he laughed at the music and my face got hotter.
I knew I was blushing as red as a tomato. Blush! I've never blushed in my life what is he doing to me. I bowed my head trying to hide my red cheeks. I went over to the direction of my dresser hand out stretched till I found it. I ran my hand over the top because my mom or sister lay out clothes cause it can't see them and my mother put Brail on the tags because she is teaching me Brail I would have just gone to the school in California but ill only be blind for a while.
So it was not needed just like a dog :( " interesting music choice." " umm, yeah but you seem to like it." I whisper knowing he'd hear me loud and clear. " yes." he admitted. I heard his heavy footsteps walking toward me and a second later I felt his arms wrap around my now clothed body. " you look so beautiful." he whispered in my ear. Yeah I wish I could see that, he took my brush and started brushing my hair into my famous long braid. He put my glasses in my hands and kissed both my eyelids making my whole face tingle.
I leaned more into him and he met me the rest of the distance, our lips met and his tongue slid along my bottom row of teeth begging for access I allowed and then I heard my mom humming down the hall to my room. " damn!" I murmured against his lips. We broke this kiss for the second time, " I want to meet the pack, I will pick you up in a few, oh and I love that shirt!" he whispered and he jumped out of my two story window. I growled internally at the door, why does everyone feel the need to interrupt - " hey your up already!" my mother interrupted my thoughts cheerfully. " do you like what I picked for you?" she asked I nodded, to be honest I didn't even notice my attention was on a certain wolf. I ran my fingers along the back looking for the label thingy the Brail read B-L-U-E I smile I love the color blue hence my name.
my hands went over the fabric of the shirt I still couldn't make out what it was, " what is it?" I asked. " it's a grey wolf howling at the sky and I picked it because of the back ground was such a deep blue it reminds me of your beautiful eyes!" A WOLF wow no wonder he liked my shirt. Was he a grey wolf hmm, " wow mom, I love it!" I really did, it was perfect. " so did if interrupt something because I heard you talking to someone? Was there a boy here? Oh, is he still here? Did you kiss him yet? Because when I walked in you looked kind of flushed!" see how moms can turn from super awesome to just flat out annoying in seconds. I sighed," no! There is no boy here now, I didn't kiss anyone! Ok nothing happened. " " ok" she said in disbelief I knew she didn't believe me because all moms can tell when their kids are lying but she dropped it and walked out of the door. I didn't here anything " Seth?" I whispered. " yes?" his voice came from the general direction of my bed I walked closer and I could here his breathing and heart beat. I smiled and jumped on top of him he chuckled. How did he get here so fast? " is there a specific reason you like my shirt?" a smile on my lips. He chuckled, "well it happens to be a self portrait." he murmured before kissing my neck and behind my ear, my cheeks, my eyelids and my nose, and finally my lips. His hands clutching my waist and my hands intertwined in his hair. I guess part of my brain was waiting for someone to come in like expected but nothing happened.
So I gave into the kiss and forgot about everything else in the broke the kiss and I was very confused but he laughed at my expression. " we need to go so you can meet the pack!" he urged when I refused to stop, no interruptions, no mom and we have like all day it's Saturday. I whined as he jumped out my window again and I heard him dive into the forest to get his car from his house and come back here and then my mom would interrogate him and me for not tell her about a boy that would be having me to meet his family. I think I should be classified as a person that tells the future like Alice, ya know. Because it went exactly how I said it would, I really just wanted to get out of my house " If I stayed any longer I would get cabin fever!" I said to Seth once got into his truck. He chuckled," nervous?" he teased I nodded " don't be, they'll love you." he reassured me. I had to admit that I was nervous I have seen them before but this is different. And I'm not a people person and I have anger issues sometime. But every since I meet Seth they seem to disappear. We arrived a couple minutes later. I heard Seth open his door to get out then open mine where he carried out which I found not needed but try telling him that after I fell face first to the ground last week. He sat me down and placed his hand on my waist guiding me, I think.
The atmosphere changed when we entered the house it seemed so home like. Like something that always reminds you of home or your mom. I sighed because I heard at least four maybe five people, but they didn't seem like the wolves then I realized it was the imprints, I turned to Seth questioning but he was talking to who I guessed was Emily, " can you be a baby sitter until I get back?" I heard the girls giggle " funny." I said sarcastically and sighed. I'm completely capable of being by myself the last I was by myself- oh right, maybe I do need a babysitter. I shook my head, " I'll leave you girls to your introductions." he said to the girls standing around us.
Then he turned to me and kissed me on the lips, it was a small kiss but I shall suffice without our usual lip locks. " behave" he whispered in my ear. I giggled, ugh I hate giggling an he knows it too. Next thing you know I'll start asking to wear pink outfits. He kissed a last time and went for the door. I turned back to emily's direction. " hi." I said shyly I stuck out my hand for a handshake but my hand was put down and I was embraced in a hug. Hugging, I hate it but j guess I will have to get used to it. " I'm Emily." the woman hugging me said. She let go of me and another girl hugged me and said," I'm Kim" and other girl hugged me and," I'm Rachel." and I was jumped on by a really little girl who screamed," I'm Claire!" " ya know I'm blind not deaf!" I screamed back, we all started laughing and Claire jumped off me. She seemed at least four maybe older. " nice to meet you guys, I'm Sapphire so when will the guys be here?" I asked curiously " well in a little bit, now I was just going to start cooking for them since they have huge appetite" I nodded and I could hear spongebob playing on the television. So I started toward the living room and I tripped over the back of the couch.
I landed on the couch sitting up right," who put this couch here!" I groaned. I heard some more laughter and I listened to spongebob for the first time. I didn't seem as funny so I jumped up and when to the kitchen. " so why aren't you at Brail school?" kim asked. " it's only temporary, so it's not needed." " oh, so how long will you be blind?" she said the word blind like it was a cuss word, my mom did that for the first week people are just worried that it would hurt my feeling I guess. " well three months, if more than that I will have to have more test done, and probably need to go to Brail school or whatever it's called." wow, I've never really said it out loud, the possibility of being permanently blind guess that was a touchy subject. It showed it in my voice, I felt a hand on my back. Why was I so sensitive about this? I never used to be like this! Forks.
What's happening to me? I sighed. " oh, I just noticed your shirt!" Rachel said changing the subject. I laughed," Seth?" Emily asked," sure, why not?" " you should be glad it is Seth because he would have had a fit if it was another" Emily giggled. I smelt the fresh cookies and muffins and brownies. I heard a bunch of footsteps like a herd of elephants or something. It made me want to back up but then I remembered I was behind the counter and they would probably stop for the food. They all came rushing through the door how they didn't break through it I didn't know. I was right they were totally distracted by the food. I'm so good at predicting the future. " whoa nice shirt, where can I get one?" a sarcastic, husky voice called to me. " I wouldn't know, my mommy gave it to me." I said like a four year old. Everyone started laughing, so I joined in when all the laughter died out we got to introductions. Seth hooked his arm around my waist and guided me to where all the boys are. " well this is Paul." " nice to meetcha!" I recognized his voice he was the one that Commented on my shirt.
I stuck out my hand again but it was knocked out of the way again and I was hugged again. Why me? I hate hugging! What is with these people and hugging? I felt Seth give a low growl and Paul let go and went to the living room, I guess to Kim. I tried to memorize names and voices and personalities and I will try to remember but all these names rushed by: Jared, Collin, Brady, Sam, Embry, Quill, ect. Seth took me to the living room and on the floor I sat on his lap and he cradled me. I looked up him and I don't know why but I just wanted to. I could almost see his eyes and I remembered at nessie's party those emerald, ever-green eyes. When he held me in his arms, I kind if didn't want him to let go it was just instinct. " how are they doing that? She's bl-" Paul started and I heard I thump and someone say ouch and sorry.
I rest my head on Seth's chest, he rubbed my back and kissed my hair. Course he could see my change in mood and body language. " so sapphire, we were thinking of going to the beach and cliff diving. Would you like to join us?" Jared asked. "yes!" "no!" both me and Seth answered at the same time. I turned to him and he straightened up. " no!" he said firmly. " yes!" I said holding my ground. " yes!"" no!"" yes!" "no!" " no!" " yes! And that is final!" he shouted. " I'm glad you see it my way!" I shouted back and got off his lap and navigated my way to the kitchen and to the door. He seemed to realize what he said," oh wait no, you tricked me." he said. I giggled. He sighed in defeat and picked me up and put me safely in the passenger seat. When we got to my house I ran in and hi t my face against the door. I groaned and Seth kissed my face and it felt better. I asked my mom to find my black two piece swim suit. She handed it to me and I ran up the stairs I heard Seth directly behind me. I threw off my clothes soon as the door was closed and put on my bathing suit then I put on some shorts and a tank top. " please sapphire I just don't want you to get hurt!" he said urgently as he pulled me to him. He cant just tell me what I can and can not do.
I'm sick of everyone doing that, doctors my mom even my sister. I know my limit, I know exactly what I'm actually capable of doing. I just have the worst of luck or I just self inflict my own pain or whatever. And now Seth of all people has just joined the community or population of people that try to tell me what I can and cannot do. I wiggled out of his embrace and started toward the front door when his hand grabbed my arm and spun me around. After a moment of silence he whispered," why are you do this?" so I answered exactly what I was thinking, " maybe I'm sick of people telling me what I can and cannot do!" he released me and I stumbled out of the door.
Once we arrived I shivered remembering the night I came here eyes a flame. I shook my head to shake the thought out. Seth place his hand on my hip securely, he leaned down and kissed me, I kissed him back. And then we started walking toward the cliff and I could here the others laughing and someone jumping. " hey, girlie!" Collin yelled or maybe it was Brady. I shrugged it off and I sat on a rock listening to the others jump and fall. I got up and Seth stopped me again, if he keeps doing this again I might slap him. " you sure?" he asked. " yesssss!" I whined. I was now standing at the edge, wow what a suicidal feeling. And with that happy thought I jumped off the cliff , is this what it feels like to fall to your death. The wind screaming in my ears the only scary part is don't know when the water will hit and my equilibrium is off.
I can't tell up from down. I screamed and laughed and giggled. Until the cold salt water broke my fall. I was underwater what a feeling weightless. I pushed up and I breathed in the fresh sea air I heard a 'yahooooo' coming from above me. I knew who it was, my Seth. I felt big familiar arms round m he kissed me and pulled me closer crushing me. He put me on his back as he swam back to shore. We laid on the beach and talked, " I love you." I whispered into his neck before kissing it and the rest of him. " I love you more!" he teased. He took me home and I kept getting this weird feeling and just Athena was home mom was late out working and Seth has to do patrol. I hated being cooped up in my room so I went outside to enjoy the fresh air. But when I closed the door behind me the air got colder and I could feel all the animals scatter, I heard a hushed noise like coats against the grass or a snake against the sand. I took a step forward I was curious yet a little scared. Who were they? What did they want? " hello my dear!" a voice called gently. Ok that voice sounded a little to giddy for my taste. This was getting weird I started backing back to the house, they were getting closer at fast pace.
I felt something right in front of me, I shuddered. " who are you?" even my voice was shaky and weak. " we are the volturi, of course" he answered. This is by far the worst time to visit, couldn't they wait a minute for Seth or three months so I can see the approaching danger. I whimpered, " what do you want?" " hey sapphire who are you-" she stopped taking in the seen here, my sister picks the worse times to make appearances. I heard her run over to me but someone stopped her, blocking her way. " both of you have extraordinary gifts and I find that fascinating!" he said excitedly, what was this guy on? Can vampires get drunk? because he seems like he tried and something went wrong. Well either that or he's gay. I felt a freezing cold hand pick my hand up and hold it. Since he's so smart does he not realize I have a boyfriend ? I tried to pull my hand away but he hold was too strong. He was searching for something, so I guess he is a mind reader or something like that. He released my hand " interesting" about what? Then it dawned on me I knew what he was looking at after Nessie's party and when Leah attacked me, after that I burst into flames Could that be a talent or power or special ability, probably. I could hear my sister struggling with someone who is holding her back. My sister restrained and myself blind and helpless, sad really how fate can be so cruel, sometimes. "
what do you want from us?" I asked barley a whisper. " we would like for you to join us!" he full of excitement " WHAT! HELL NO!" I yelled in his face ( strike one). " I hope it would not come to this but we will have to use force miss Ayeron." I froze wait how did he know my last name? " I would rather die then join you!" ( strike two) " that can be arranged." a female voice said with an edge as sharp as a butcher knife. " Jane please." yeah Jane, I thought in my head I'm sure she'd do that whole pain thing if I said it aloud. " let's see if she is as resistant as Bella!" she said evilly, wait resistant to what? Oh shit! I screamed in my head. At first nothing happened but then I felt it fire through my veins and bones. I sank to the ground, fire and the feeling in my eyes was , fire, fire I kept thinking about it over and over again. My mind was trying to remember or tell me something. Fire the image came back of myself in my sisters eyes. The reflecting of my eyes as they turned red and hot. It was getting hard to hear over all of these screams of agony. My screams of agony I clamped my mouth shut, fire I felt the tingling sensation I felt on the beach, I knew what would happen next.
Seth POV
I couldn't wait to get to my sapphires house, just to touch her to ease my hunger. I was running through the forest when I ran into the Cullen's and the packs. " what happened?" why were the Cullen's here? I instantly jumped to sapphire, Edward bowed his head. " Alice had a vision about the volturi, she said they would be at sapphires house now!" that's all he had to say an I instantly phased and was off to her house. I ran as fast as I could, I've never ran so fast. I was close enough I heard screams of absolute torture, that I hoped I would never hear again. We all came into the back yard of her house to find my baby on the ground shaking and glowing red. Edward mouth dropped in awe, what's happening Edward? I screamed in my heard. " fire!" he murmured. What did that mean? I say the out line of the entire volturi.
I still ran to my baby, oh sapphire you have the worst of luck. I let out a loud roar or growl as all of the wolves and Cullen's spilled onto the back yard and to halt thirty feet away. Her cries of agony stopped, replaced with low whimpers and a snarl. As she jumped her skin so red it was scary. She was shaking like us only hard and faster, in a flash she was on fire. Everything but her clothes were not effected. Interesting, she doesn't look hurt she looks angry. Dude look at your girl! Paul thought. And the others joined in stunned wondering. I turned my attention to Aro he looked more amused than before and happier if possible.
The grass around her was smoldered and I could feel the heat from here. Felix was so stunned he let go of Athena and she ran to her smoldering sister. " sapphire?" she asked. Sapphire shushed her and raised her hand. A sphere appeared inches above her hand and started growing she threw it and all the volturi fled running away as she threw and kicked fire balls, I wouldn't be surprised if she demolished half of the army.I went behind a bush and phased back and ran back the Cullen's were at a distant but closer. I ran up to I didn't care if she would burn me to death. I just want to be near her, he flames dimes and she doubled over. I pulled her to my chest, and she fainted in my arms. Oh sapphire, I thought as I carried her to her room. My sapphire.
