Angels (A Seth Clearwater Love Story)
Recap
"Where's Nathaniel?" Sam growled, ready to kill him. Selene merely smiled and nodded out to sea. There, floating on the green blue water was Nathaniel. He looked dead by how still he was. But when Selene called out his name he shifted his gaze to stare at them and dipped beneath the water.
He appeared below the surface and with a simple movement of his legs jumped up onto the rock in front her. He leaned in really close, the crazed look completely gone, like it had never been there. He smirked lightly and said….
End Recap
"Hello Kitten. What are you doing here?" He asked lightly.
"Making sure you don't kill anyone," Selene muttered lightly as she wrung her hair out.
"Hm, I see" Nathaniel said before flipping off the rock, "did I hurt anyone?"
"Nope, aged a few people but I managed to reverse it," Selene said while stretching.
"Melanie is not going to be happy…" He said while tapping his chin. His eyes flicked lazily over the wolves and vampires behind Selene. "You have some interesting friends Cherie," he purred smoothly. It was amazing the difference between this Nathaniel and the one who had been infect by Angel Bane. They were polar opposite. Nathaniel, now, seemed so aloof and all most child-like.
Selene turned to look at the others and faced Nathaniel with a raised eyebrow.
"Do you have a problem with them?" She asked with a slight edge. Nathaniel just shrugged.
"Vampires and werewolves are very violent creatures," Nathaniel mentioned but he didn't really seem to care either way.
"Yes, of course, and you are definitely one to talk," Selene said in an unusually sarcastic voice while jumping of the rock she had been perched on. Nathaniel chuckled softly and shook his head. "Speaking of which, how did you manage to reverse the angel bane?" Selene continued while standing on her tip toes to look Nathaniel straight in the eyes.
Nathaniel looked slightly defensive about the question but ended up shrugging and dancing around Selene. It became very obvious that Nathaniel had no intention of telling her, at least not in front of the current company.
"I don't care how he did it. I'm going to kill him!" Sam snarled and began to attempt to get at Nathaniel. It took Paul, Seth, Embry, and Jacob to hold him back. Nathaniel didn't even seem phased by the shape shifter trying to rip his throat out. He looked at Sam like a vampire would look at a human about to try and punch him, with complete and utter superiority.
"The phone's for me," Nathaniel said as Carlisle's, who had just arrived, phone began to ring. Carlisle hand the man the phone who answered and said. 'Hello Melanie Dear, how are you this fine morning?"
"I'm alright, and yourself?" purred a smooth feminine voice.
"As good as I can be. Did you catch those kids?" Nathaniel replied as he leaned lazily against a large boulder.
"Yes, and they have been punished accordingly. Too bad Selene didn't have to kill you though, then I would have to right to do terrible things to them, ah… oh well. Fate seems to be on your side," The female answered.
"There's a first time for everything," Nathaniel chuckled, "What surprised me is that your husband allowed Selene to come, I always pegged him as overprotective."
"He didn't," The woman, obviously Melanie, Selene's mother, stated bluntly.
"You always were very strong willed. No wonder Aro just adores you," He replied sarcastically. There was laughter and Melanie's voice suddenly became quiet and inaudible. Nathaniel became more serious and his only words were yes and no, which hardly told anyone what they were talking about. After a few short words Nathaniel said good bye and hung up the phone, returning it to Carlisle.
"What did she say?" Selene asked with her head tipped to one side.
"Your hypothesis was correct," Nathaniel answered with a shrug and Selene grinned slightly. "Also your father managed to escape your mother's grasp, so I would expect him to arrive before the end of the day." This last statement caused everyone within hearing range to suck in their breath. Demetri, in Forks, not good.
"So… you aren't going to kill anyone, right dude?" Quil questioned cautiously.
"Call me dude one more time and I'll kill you," Nathaniel said bluntly. Selene just shook her head and said.
"That would be a yes." Nathaniel looked around and sniffed. With movements smoother than any vampires he lept easily up the cliff and into the air, dissapering.
"Did he just disappear?" Colin asked, a very confused look seeping across his face. Selene laughed and shook her head.
"He's just showing off, pay him no mind," She sang as she wrapped her arm around Seth's, "shall we go?" Seth turned about four shades darker and began to sputter. He eventually gave up on trying to form actual words and just nodded.
As the walked back it became obvious that Sam wasn't happy about Nathaniel just disappearing into thin air. He very much wanted to hunt him down and rip him into tiny little shreds. It took a horrified look from his daughter, who had completely forgiven Nathaniel after hearing the whole story, and lots and lots and lots of reassurance from Selene. He finally gave in and everyone settled in to eat lunch.
Lunch was somewhat tense, however, everyone was busy wondering what Demetri would do when he got there. He had been the vampire the Cullens feared fighting the most when they had come to Forks last. If Selene was worried she didn't show it, she was the same perky girl she had been since they met her. It still seemed strange that she could be the most dangerous creature any of them had met.
Nathaniel reappeared around the end of lunch. When Sam began to interogate him, Nathaniel, bluntly, informed him that he had gone to into the forest to hunt.
"Speaking of which, when do you plan on hunting Selene?" Nathaniel asked giving her a very knowing look. Selene glared but answered anyway.
"I'll go after daddy arrives, that way he doesn't end up killing anyone," She countered while still glaring. Edward barely heard her tell Nathaniel not to tell him anything. Carlisle was about to ask about Demetri when there was a soft popping sound and a multicolored looking swirl formed in the air. Everyone back up about five feet, except Selene, she sat there like the swirl wasn't even there.
Two silhouettes of people began to form and the multicolored swirl disappeared revealing two figures. One was a girl with short multicolored hair not unlike the swirling vortex that had just been there. She had a plain pair of jeans with vans and a t-shirt. Her eyes were a soft green. The other figure was a boy. His hair was the same jet black as Selene's. He was thin with a baggy turquoise long sleeved shirt and baggy jeans. His hair was messy and his whole look was like he had just gotten out of bed. His eyes were hidden by the darkest pair of sunglasses anyone could imagine, but no doubt they were to same liquid amber as Selene's. He had a small black pocket journal in his hand which he was currently scribbling into. Selene's eyes light up at the sight of the two and she flashed forward, tackling th boy in a hug.
" Leo!" she squealed as she hugged the boy.
"Hello sister, dear," he said softly, his eyes never left the journal.
"Hi Kimmy," She said greeting the other girl. Kimmy grinned and gave Selene a quick hug. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in Asia with your dad," Selene asked lightly.
"Yah, but your bro needed and ride. Something about your psycho father," Kimmy said with a cocky little grin gleaming across her face. Selene a pouty face.
"My dad isn't psycho, just overprotective," Selene defended. Kimmy laughed and nodded.
"Yah, I know. Mine the same," She laughed. Selene turned to Helios, or Leo as she called him, and peered over his shoulder.
"What did you see that made you came here? What's dad gonna do?" She questioned as her eyes flicked over the page.
"Father is not going to do anything. I just told Kimmy that so she'd take me," Leo replied softly, causing Kimmy to give him an angry look, "If I told her what I really saw she would have come here by herself and messed things up."
"What did you see," Selene asked with a rare worried look on her face.
"You know what I saw," He hissed, his voice changing tones for the first time in the whole conversation, "You can't protect him, You think you're protecting him but your not. He's involved. He needs you as much as you do. Stop being an idiot or you know what will happen." Everyone, even Kimmy, got a very confused look on their face. None of them had any idea what Leo was talking about. Who was Selene protecting? Why did she need him? What would happen if she didn't do what Leo said? So many questions and Edward had a feeling they wouldn't get answers any time soon. Nathaniel seemed to be the only one who knew what was going on, and he had definitely taken Leo's side.
"Daddy's here!" Selene chirped, quickly changing the subject. Leo glared at her and Edward heard him say 'You tell him or I will', causing Selene to glare at him curtly. Edward was distracted when Demetri's thoughts came into range. He was coming fast and he was mad.
