The world of Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer. I like to play in it. In this story, I wondered what would have happened if Bella was worried enough about Carlisle and Edward's attempt to save her by aborting the baby that she felt compelled to flee the household to save her unborn child. Who would have helped her? How about a homeless girl in Seattle and the youngest member of the wolf pack?

This story takes place during Breaking Dawn, and occurs after the honeymoon, as Edward and Bella return home early from Isle Esme after they learn she is pregnant.

Epilogue – Seth's return to Forks

(Seth's POV)

As I return to the resort after hunting, I pick up the unmistakable scent of a vampire. It can't be! I was only gone a short time! Struggling to keep my human form, I race to the chalet and throw open the door. Almost instantly, the blond leech comes running up the stairs and crouches at the top of the stairs to prevent me from going to Bella and Bree. I sniff the air. I don't smell human blood, and I can't hear any crying from downstairs, so they haven't hurt Bella yet.

I hear the vampire doctor downstairs, talking soothingly to Bella as he lifts her and carries her out the door to the waiting car. I hear Bella calling Bree, and then I hear Bree as she gets into the car with Bella. I can't decide if I failed Bella or not, but seeing Jasper in the chalet makes me phase.

I'm now left in the chalet with the most dangerous of the leeches, Major Jasper Whitlock. I try get out the door to chase after the car I can hear driving off with the two girls inside, but Jasper grabs me. He gets me in a headlock and holds me. But it's not Jasper's grip that has me the most upset, it is the voices of the pack that come flooding into my head after I phase. I cannot believe what I am hearing. My alpha, Sam, is picking my memories for Bella's location. They want me to kill her in order to kill the baby! He is ordering me to fight Jasper and hunt down Carlisle before he gets to the airport.

I'm frozen in shock and agony at this order. Jasper must feel it, because he continues to hold me, and he's somehow soothing me. I want to rage at Sam's order, but I feel an odd sensation of calm and lethargy flowing over me. I give in to it and eventually manage to phase back. I lay on the floor, face down, panting from exhaustion. Jasper releases his grip but stands over me. I start sobbing.

Jasper crouches down next to me and asks what happened. I don't know who to trust. The leech is the sworn enemy of my people, of all humans. But I am being ordered to kill an innocent young girl, who is a friend of Jacob's as well as being Charlie Swan's daughter. I can't bring myself to tell him, so I just roll over and lay on my back with my arm thrown across my eyes.

Jasper whispers calmly, "I know about the Sam's order. Jacob came to the house and warned us. He split from the pack over the order."

He has confirmed what I saw in the communal pack mind, despite the pack's best efforts to keep it silent. Jacob has split from the pack.

Jasper continues, "I could feel intense pain and conflict radiating from you while you were in wolf form. Was it because of Sam's order to kill Bella and the child she carries?"

I can't talk to him, since I am still somewhat under Sam's power as alpha. I manage to nod slightly in response to his question.

"Are you going to attack her if you go back to Forks?" he asks.

I just moan and shake my head slowly. I don't know how, but I won't do it.

"I can feel your struggle," he said. "You took care of her at a time when she felt, unjustly in our opinion, that she couldn't trust us. We would never have hurt her or done anything to her against her will. We were only worried about her health."

We stay like that for a few more minutes, with me on the floor and Jasper crouched over me. Then Jasper makes a few phone calls and tells me he has arranged a flight back to Forks for me. We run to the Fresno airport, and he puts me on a private plane back to Forks. He tells me he only gave Sue the flight information.

I arrive at the small Forks airport in what seems a few minutes. Of course the entire pack is waiting on the tarmac. There are no secrets on the reservation since all the wolves have immortal hearing.

Sam steps forward, while Sue tries to holds me back. He wants an update. I push my mother away and step back, shaking with rage. I phase against my will, and Sam's order bows me down. He is telling me to go the Cullen house, as he believes that they will let me in since they trust me. He orders me to finish the job that the other pack members cannot complete since the vampires are expecting them and prepared to fight them. The Cullens might let me in, though, because Bella and Jasper trust me.

Suddenly I spring free and run into the night. Jared and Quil run after me, but I can't hear their thoughts anymore. I can't hear anything except my own breathing and the sounds of the night, when suddenly I hear Jacob's thoughts.

"Jake, Jake!" I call to him through my thoughts. "Where are you?"

"Seth?" Jacob answers. "What are you doing?"

"I've split with the pack. I'm following yo nowu. I'm on my way to the Cullen's house now. Is Bree there? I gotta see her. I've got to talk to her. How is Bella doing?" I call out to him.

(Begin quote from Breaking Dawn, p. 213) "'I am not joking Seth! This is no place for you…you are the hell going to stand behind Sam! Get your furry butt back to La Push and do what Sam tells you to do.'

'No'

'Go, Seth!'

'Is that an order, Jacob?'

'I'm not ordering anyone to do anything. I'm just telling you what you already know.." (End quote from Breaking Dawn, page 214) "Go back to Sam, I don't need a pack," replies Jacob.

"Nope. I'm with you, you're stuck with me. It's quiet, did you notice we can't hear the others? Looks like my break is official, we are now a separate pack, as the mind link shows. Kind of nice, it being this quiet. No constant chatter…" I ramble on, excitedly.

"Seth. Shut the heck up." Jacob answers.

"Yes, sir!" I reply, continuing to run through the woods.

I get to the Cullen house in minutes and phase back to human form. I am met at the door by Emmett, who hands me some clothes.

"She had a girl," is all Emmett says. I can smell blood, a lot of blood, and from somewhere hear a strange heartbeat, very fast. It clearly belongs to an infant, but somehow sounds different.

"Bree?" I ask. Emmett looks around and seems to get some kind of a signal from someone inside that I can't see. He lets me in.

Bree runs to me from across the living room, and I can tell she has been crying. I fold her into a hug and hold her, stroking her hair while inhaling her glorious scent. Esme come over to us. "It will be three days before we know for sure about Bella. You can stay here and wait, or take Bree home to meet Sue," she suggests kindly. She then adds, in a voice too low for human ears, "Seth, I would recommend against staying here. The transformation is painful and I think that hearing Bella in pain would upset Bree."

I nod my agreement. Bree's been through enough.

I call my mother, who comes to take Bree and I into Forks where we check into the Pacific Inn Motel on highway 101. I don't know if I feel comfortable going back to the reservation right now. I can't stay in the woods with Bree, so a hotel seems the best alternative.

That night, Billy Black comes to the hotel in his wheelchair. I introduce him to Bree, and I can tell she is fascinated by him. He tells me to bring Bree back to La Push, so she can meet the rest of the tribe. He knows I have imprinted, and he wants Bree to start settling into her new life. As head of the tribe, he can order Sam to give us some time together, so we don't have to stay in town.

A few days later we go back to the Cullen house. We see Edward and Bella together with their new daughter, whom they have given the weirdest name on earth, Reneesme. I watch Jacob hovering nearby protectively, his eyes on the baby, and suddenly I realize that he too has found his imprint. Like Quil, he will have to wait for her to grow up. I have Bree, and we are part of the reunited tribe. I will stay in Jacob's pack, and the tribe will stay together.
