So we are getting to my favorite chapter soon. This is the part right before the big moment of Seth telling Katie about his being a wolf. And about two more updates before my classes start so when they do things will slow dow. So here it goes

Chapter 9

Katie

I woke up the next morning smelling the wonderful smell of breakfast cooking down stairs. I knew it was not Seth cooking his awful cooking skills last night made that clear. I climbed out of bed and walked down stairs to find Emily in the kitchen cooking a heaping pile of eggs, bacon and toast. She heard me coming in and tuned around to see me.

"Your up I was not making to much noise was I."

"No I think the smell did which it smells wonderful."

"Seth went to La Push with Sam. There bring some of the other guys back with them I hope you don't mind."

"No I actually need to tell them thank you for all the stuffed animals and things. By the way what's the guy's fasciation with wolfs?"

"Oh, that you will find out soon. Don't worry Seth will tell you about that."

"I will have to ask him about it."

"I think he is going to tell you soon. And speaking about Seth Sam had to drag him out of here today he's really protective of you."

"Really I don't know why."

"Well you didn't know Seth from before he is not usually like this. You bring it out of him. He really cares about you more than you think."

"He hasn't told me anything."

"He wouldn't he is to shy. He's fifth teen talking to girl is not a strong site of his."

He's fifth teen!

"Yeah he's kinda tall for his age." Even with her back to me I could tell she was smiling as she said it.

"I'll say."

"Don't let his age fool you he has been though a lot for his age. His dad died not to long ago it hit him hard. He had to grow up pretty fast. A lot of things got put on his shoulders when Harry died. Not only dose he feel like he has to take care of his mom and sister but he has other responiblies too."

"He never said anything about that."

"He wouldn't he doesn't like to talk about it much."

"He can tell me I would understand my dad died six months ago it's why we moved here."

"Did you ever tell him about that?"

"No I don't like to talk about it either.

"Looks like you too still have a lot to talk about."

The fount door swing open I did not even hear a car pull up but sure enough Seth, Sam, and all of the guys that I saw at the hospital can filing in along with a girl I did not know. Seth came straight over to me and gave me a hug while Sam went straight to Emily. All the guys sat down at the table or stood around talking and joking.

"Ok guys you're all here you can eat. Just me Leah and Katie get food first before you guys fight over the food." I heard whys, awws, and complaints form many of the guys.

"Hey ladies first if your girls were here you would not mind." Sam told all of the guys

"Go ahead if you wait there will be noting left." Seth whispered in my ear.

"Really that's a lot of food."

"Trust me. And come on I will help you." Seth took me in to the kitchen grabbed me a plate and started putting a little bit of each thing on there and poured me some juice. I followed him to the table were he set my plate and glass down.

"Hey how come Seth gets to eat and we don't."

"Embry she can't carry all this at once. Hurt arm remember she can't use it its sprained and has stitches in it. Reason why I have been at the hospital with her you were there."

"I forgot sorry I am hungry."

Seth sat down next to me after getting on to Embry. "Do you need anything else before the guys have at it?"

"No I am fine." He squeezed my hand before he went to get his own plate.

The guys all filed in the kitchen and all came back with heaping plates. All sitting at the table or standing at the counter in the kitchen they were like a huge family joking laughing and throwing food at each other Emily and Sam yelling at them it all just seamed to fit. I caught Seth looking at me and even Sam and Emily kept an eye on us like they were waiting for something to happen.

"Hey the bonfire is tomorrow night is Seth bringing you to the beach." I think it was Quil all the guys looked so much alike it could hardly tell some of them apart.

"That's tomorrow I thought it was a few more days away."

"It was but its spouse to storm that night so we moved it closer I was going to tell you about it later. If you're not up to it you can always go to the next one."

"I think I will be fine to go."

"Everyone is going to be there all of us and the girls." It was Paul with a goofy grin on his face like he was thinking about his girl. If I remembered right it was Jack's older sister Rachel. Everyone finished up and Emily went to clean up I tried to help but Seth kept taking everything from me. He went over to the sink with Emily and helped her put everything in the dish washer. It was weird that this all seamed so normal. Like it happened every day and that I had been apart of this for weeks rather than days. One of the guys brought over a movie we all squeezed in to the living room and put the movie in. Seth and I were sitting the same way we were the night before. Sam's phone rang after a few seconds he hung up.

"Guys we gotta go." He turned to me sorry to leave half way through the movie. He turned whispered to Emily and then kissed her and stood up. The other guys followed saying there good byes to me and Emily. It was then Seth's turn to leave I just noticed that everyone left so we were alone. He stood up and held his hand out for me I took it and went to stand with him.

"I have to go."

"Why I don't understand."

"I will tell you everything but please trust me." He looked me in the eyes begging me to understand and to just trust him. Emily did tell me that Seth had to tell me something.

"Ok I trust you. Are you going to come back?"

"Yes don't worry I will be back in a few hours and Emily will be here with you."

"Seth please promise you will tell me about this soon. I trust you I just don't want to be in the dark forever." Then there was a howl in the distance. The howl made me jump but just made Seth more urgent to go.

"I promise soon I hate keeping this from you." He hugged me tight kissed me check and said a few hours and then he was gone. I fell back on to the couch Emily coming to sit next to me. I was so confused Sam just got a call and they all up and leave right there. Was this normal? Emily pulled me out of my head when she spoke to me.

"You ok."

"Yes and no. You don't look surprised do they do that a lot."

"All the time."

"So I shouldn't be worried."

"No this is normal. I will stay until they get back."

"Ok will they only be a few hours."

"They should be."

Emily and I finished watching the movie and put another in after we fixed ourselves some sandwiches for lunch. Knowing they would all be hungry when they got back we went to the store to get extra food to fix the guys dinner when they got back. I did what I could with only one hand. After cooking four pounds of ground beef for tacos and cutting all the toppings we finally took a break. With some time to spare we decided to bake some cookies to kill some time. I think Emily could tell I looked nervous and tried to keep my busy and not think about what was going on. When we pulled out the last pan of cookies the guys finally came back to the house. Just like this morning with the exception of shirts they all filed in. Again Seth came and gave me a hug and Sam kissed Emily while she took the cookies off the pan.

"See told you I would be back."

"Yeah but six hours is more than a few hours."

"Yeah sorry about that we had some issues".

"And I am assuming you can't tell me what kind of issues."

"Not yet."

"But soon."

"Yes soon. How about tomorrow night after the bonfire."

"Really you will tell me everything."

"Everything." With a smile on his face he looked me in the eyes silently promising me he would tell me.
