Do I Look Dead To You? (Oh wait...don't answer that)

I sat on the couch, bouncing anxiously. Jasper, one of my 'guards', was staring at me. Emmett, my other watched the football game on the TV. The others had gone to get Seth.

*Two in a row...is that even possible?* Jasper was thinking.

"What do you mean two in a row? I asked him absent mindedly.

The answer formed in his mind before he could answer and he saw understanding flicker across my face. He probed my mood again and shook his head at the results. *I can't believe it. She is calmer than Bella even was...*

"Oh!" I finally connected what he meant.

"Yeah, its just weird." he said slowly, unnerved by my getting my answer from silence.

"Leave her alone Jaz, she's behaving." Em said lazily from the couch.

He nodded but continued to glare.

I looked up as I heard the car turn into the driveway. I focused all my energy on not running out to meet them in my impatience. I bit my lip uneasily and go up to gently pace. Jaz's eyes never left me but I didn't pay any attention.

There were uneasy thoughts radiating from the car outside. I groaned in frustration. The door opened and an angry Leah stalked in, glaring at me. After that came Edward and Jacob with a semi conscious Seth dangled between them.

Suddenly he thrashed frantically, snarling.

"Let him go." I told the desperate pair trying to hold him. They dropped him and he crumpled to the ground, completely still. Leah growled audibly, earning a glare from Jacob.

I slowly crouched over Seth. I could hear his constant stream of whispered thoughts now that he was this close. *She's gone. It doesn't matter. She's dead. Nothing matters." the phrases were repeating over and over again like a mantra.

"Seth..." I said hesitantly.

*No, not real, not possible. She's gone.* His inner voice remained calm, simply speeding up but not changing volume.

"Seth!" I said a bit more confidently.

*No, its not real. She's dead.*

"Excuse me?" I was getting ticked now, "Do I look dead?" I suddenly remembered my red eyes and pale skin. *Maybe he shouldn't answer that.*

*I wonder if that bond of the imprint is still there?* Came Edwards mental voice.

"Would that work?" I turned to him, startling the others.

Edward was the only one who didn't flinch. "It may. If the bond survived the transformation."

I nodded and returned my attention to Seth. "Seth..." I paused. "Seth, damn it look at me!" I shook his shoulders. I forgot my strength that was suddenly more than his so his teeth rattled. His unfocused eyes settled on me. "Seth..." I growled deeply, "Look at me!" I glowered. Jazz and Leah cringed. His eyes focused ever so slightly and his though process turned up a frantic notch.

*Not real not real not real not real.* his inner mind screeched frantically.

"Seth don't you recognize me? Do you think you could even possibly confuse me, your imprinted, with anyone else?" I was really mad now. Jazz started, reading the anger that rolled off me in waves.

"You aren't real." he told me in a calm voice out loud now. 'You're a delusion."

I bit the inside of my cheek. "Excuse me?" I asked coldly. "Did you just tell me to go away?" I flicked him in the forehead but was surprised when it sent him flying across the room.

"Ouch..." he muttered, holding his head. Then his eyes widened and he took me in for the first time. "Raya?"

"No duh Seth." I stood, crossing my arms glaring. "If you ever tell me to go away ever again...I will send you on a flight around the world."
