Seth's POV

Ch. 4- Strange Dreams

I was pacing around the room waiting for Alex to get home. I know she can take care of herself but I still worry, especially if she was fighting her dad, she would have a rough time, but Sam only told me that it was her dad and convinced me that she should handle this without anyone interfering. It was early morning, almost six o' clock and Alex still wasn't here. I was really tired from staying up all night and I didn't stand still until Paul put his hand on my shoulder and I turned and looked at him with shock.

"Go and get some sleep. I'm pretty sure Alex is fine. I'll wake you up when she gets home, I promise." He said, smiling, which is unlike him. Usually he has a frown and seems grumpy all the time, but now he was actually smiling. I just continued to look at him in shock, not moving or saying a word.

"Look. . . I know you are surprised at me actually smiling since I'm always frowning and I don't know what has come over me in the last few hours but I have been happier. . . Almost like someone slapped me across the face and made me realize that life isn't so bad. . . Enough about me for now, you need your sleep and you know Alex wouldn't leave you alone until you went to sleep and neither am I." He said, now laughing a little and putting his arm around my shoulder, leading me up to my room.

I started laughing as well and said, "Ok! But promise me that you will wake me up when Alex gets here."

"I promise. As soon as she gets here I will wake you up. Now stop worrying and get some sleep." He said, smiling and pushing me to my bed.

I smiled too and got in bed and curled up and went to sleep in a few seconds.

Paul's POV

I smiled and watched Seth fall asleep before I headed back downstairs. Everyone else was asleep in the living room. We all tried to stay up and wait for Alex but we couldn't so we decided to crash here. 'I hope she won't mind us here. I mean she is usually nice and really cool about stuff but I don't know if she would like it if anyone was asleep in her living room without her permission, but Seth said it was fine and that Alex would be ok with it. . . O well. . . I guess we will find out soon. . ." I thought, sighing, stopping at the foot of the stairs and looking around at everyone sleeping.

Jacob was sleeping on the couch all stretched out, Sam and Emily were sleeping on the floor covered with a sheet and sharing a pillow, Jared was also on the floor in front of the couch, curled up in a ball, Quil was sleeping behind the couch, stretched out with the sheet wrapped all around him, Embry was asleep against the foot of the stairs, Leah and Eka were sleeping together beside Jared, and Zander, Eva, and Ashley were sleeping together against the wall behind the couch. The rest of the group of vampires decided to sleep outside. I went and sat next to the front door so I could hear if anyone were to come up to the door.

I sat there thinking about the dream I had. ~I was in the woods. I looked around, but saw no one there. 'Hello!' I yelled. Then I heard an angelic voice behind me.

'Hello Paul. I am so glad I could finally talk to you!'

I turned around and saw this woman with long brown hair, and matching brown eyes. She had on a hunter's out fit with a bow and arrow on her back.

'Zoë.' Who is the Guardian of the wolves and vampires–at least the good vampires. 'What do you want with me?' I asked in a rude voice, which I immediately regretted doing.

'It's ok. I know you didn't mean it. What I wanted to talk to you about is how your behavior is. If you keep on going down this path with this attitude you won't live long enough to find your mate or even see the next year. You need to change the way you are treating everyone including the pack who is trying to make you laugh and to have you enjoy yourself, but the only thing you are doing is pushing them away, just like you pushed Sandra away. And look what happened to her. She killed herself because she thought you didn't love her anymore, but we both know you loved her with all your heart and you would have done anything for her, but you couldn't let her in without telling her what you were and endangering her and the packs safety so you just distanced yourself from her and even though you didn't know it, you distanced yourself from the pack as well.' She said, coming and putting her hands on my face.

I felt a tear roll down my face and I looked her in the eyes, and all my anger and guilt vanished. I felt happiness as I remembered every joke everyone told and all of their happiness and I suddenly realized that they weren't trying to just make themselves happy but me as well. More tears flowed and I cried and cried, while Zoë held me. I slipped into darkness but I heard the last words of Zoë 'Remember the happiness and joy and love that everyone has and straighten yourself out. I will always be here if you need to talk.' Then I awoke, with tears rolling down my face . . . ~ I sat there thinking about what Zoë said when I heard footsteps in front of the door. I stood up silently and tensed for whoever it was. The door opened and in stepped Alex. Man! She looked horrible. Her ribs were purple and black, her face looked like the size of a pumpkin and she looked really tired. And it looked like she had been crying, also.

"Hey, Alex. You ok?" I whispered, putting a hand on her shoulder.

She looked at me with sadness and confusion then looked at the floor, shaking her head. "I don't know. . . All I know is that I need some rest and something to eat right now. . ."

"Oh. Well, do you want me to wake up Seth?" I whispered again, careful not to wake anyone.

"No. Let him sleep. I know he has been up all night. I'll join him. Can you wake me up when everyone else is awake? I need to talk to everyone as soon as possible." She said, looking at me smiling a little.

"Sure. Now go and rest. You earned it." I said, smiling.

She smiled slightly but looked at the ground and mumbled, "I guess . . ." But then headed towards the stairs and went to her and Seth's room.

I wanted to ask her what she meant by the 'I guess' but decide not to and went and sat beside the door again and this time I feel asleep.
