Angels (A Seth Clearwater Love Story)

(Remember this is happening at the same time as the last chapter but from Selene's Point of View)

Part Two From Selene's POV

Recap

Awful, the only words that came to mind were that of a story this same one reminded Edward of so much, two feuding factions and a pair of star-crossed lovers torn apart by them. "For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." Edward could only hope this story had a happier ending.

End Recap

Selene sat in the attic of her home, curled up in a dusty corner. She had come up here to hide. Hide from her father, who didn't understand anything, hide from her brother, who understood too much, hide from everyone who was trying to make her forget, make her forget Seth. They didn't know, she hadn't told them, that she couldn't forget, and that he was connected to her. Leo knew but he hadn't told anyone, he seemed to know something but Selene was too distracted to think about anything like that.

She hadn't fed since before Forks, and the affects of her starvation was beginning to show. Her hair was dull and had broken off giving her now, short black hair; her eyes had turned a dull grey. Her skin was pasty and flaking and her "bruises" had become burns again, slowly spreading to cover her shoulders and back.

Selene could had drunken blood, but she refused. She wasn't going to. As for feeding, Seth was the only one she could feed on know…. She was connected to him after all. Selene heard her father climb up the stairs to the attic. He would try to get in but Selene doubted he could, she had moved to sit in front of it and she was too strong for him to push the door open.

She could hear him banging on the door; she vaguely wondered whether he would resort to ripping the door off. Mother wouldn't be happy if he did that. Selene's mother, Melanie, had been the most drawn away and aloof, like she wasn't worried at all. Her attitude was like Leo's but more…. Confident. Selene didn't really understand, but she wasn't really trying so….

Selene's father continued to try and coax his daughter out of her room. He was worried sick, she hadn't eaten in weeks and she knew Angels could and would die of starvation. He didn't understand in the least sense why his daughter was acting like this. He was just some stupid mutt! What did he have to offer her? It was like, without him, the world had come to a horrible end…. It hit Demetri like a brick wall. Could she have? He knew the mutt had? Then why didn't she? Why didn't Leo? Demetri could hardly think as questions buzzed through his head. He had to talk to Melanie… now. Where had she said she was going? Demetri never knew where that woman disappeared to, if it wasn't for the fact that they were connected then he would have thought she was sleeping around. Where, where, where had she gone. That was right she had said she was going to speak to a "guest" of the Volturi. Demetri was off in a flash leaving his daughter alone for the first time since he had brought her home.

Selene didn't even hear her father walk away, she was busy thinking about Seth; His soft inky black hair, his bright blue eyes, his dark skin. He was everything Selene had ever wanted; kind, gentle, loving, funny, and adorable. Sure he was a bit of a worry wart, but most people around her were. They were under some insane impression that she was fragile and needed protecting. But most of all Selene loved the way he looked at her, like she was the only person in the world. When he looked at her it felt like Selene never needed anything else, just him.

But now he was gone. Selene doubted he would come back; her father would kill him if he did. And he had no idea where she lived. She felt like some kind of princess locked away in a tower, but this time her prince couldn't find a way in. This wasn't a fairytale or a love story and there was no guarantee that there would be a happy ending. She wished Seth would come and save her, her father was trying so hard to tell her how to feel. What if they did find each other? What if they could love each other? Their love was impossible, a shape shifter and a half vampire half angel could they really co-exist, together, in a relationship? Their love would be difficult, but it was real. She knew that much.

Selene couldn't stand sitting there anymore. She had to do something, anything to keep her mind off of the current events. Selene walked down the steps and out into the gardens of her home. Tall stone walls surrounded the garden with long old ivy crawling up the rocks. Selene ran her fingers over the petals of a rose bush there. The thorns grazed her fingers, not even scratching her skin. She cupped a soft bloom in her hand; the soft flower was the reddest red she had ever seen, like blood. It was the last rose on the bush. The only one left before winter, all alone. Selene felt sympathy for the sole bud. She wished Seth would come and save her, she felt so alone.

Selene heard soft footfalls behind and she spun on her toes. There he was standing there in the moonlight. She breathed his name softly into the wind and he walked forward, her Seth. She stared at him in disbelief.

"How?" She questioned softly as she stared at him, soft tears spilling down her cheeks. His warm arms wrapped around as he cradled her gently. He was so warm, so comforting as he rocked the two back and forth.

"Nathaniel and Aro," He murmured and Selene couldn't help but smile, making a mental note to thank them. "Selene I know about the connection, why didn't you tell me before?" Seth whispered and Selene froze. She didn't know why she hadn't told Seth. She really didn't, maybe she wanted to protect him, maybe she was scared, maybe she wanted him to choose to love her not feel obligated.

"I didn't want you to feel like you had to love me….." Selene trailed off in a very vulnerable voice, her eyes glistening slightly. Seth stared at her with sad eyes and kissed her forehead.

"I want to love you," he pressed and hugged her just a little bit tighter. "Is it true you can't feed on any blood but mine?" He asked gently as his traced the burns on her shoulders. Selene nodded into his chest her face turning bright red. "How?" Seth asked in a resolved voice.

"How what?" Selene questioned.

"How do you feed?" Seth clarified as Selene's blush got even worse.

"I-It D-Depends…." She murmured.

"How should we…?" He asked a slight tinge now present on his cheeks. Selene stared at him with wide eyes. She mentally shook herself and concentrated. Reaching up to hold his cheek, Selene stood on her tip toes and pulled Seth's face toward hers. Their lips met in a electrifying kiss. Selene felt a tingling sensation run down her spine and a soft glow emitted from her shoulders, healing the burns. Selene wasn't even paying attention to her wounds, she was too involved in the mind blowing kiss Seth had just deepened by pulling her even closer, if that was possible.

Seth pulled away cursing the fact that he had to breathe. Selene's eyes had changed back to gold and she was back to her normal self, no burns. Selene stared up at him trying to knock herself out of the daze she was currently experiencing.

"So do you always feed this way?" Seth asked with a crooked grin.

"Only from the prey I think is cute," Selene said with a shrug of her shoulders. Seth looked shocked, thinking she was serious. That was until she grinned. Maybe they could have a happy ending after all.

Just so you all know there are 2 options. 1 I can end the story in the next few chapters OR 2 I can prolong the story with a big twist involving Aro, Marcus, and Caius. It's your choice. Review and tell me what you want to see and critic me!
