Seth

Chapter 10

I walked around the house to go to the tees that are right next to her window. I stopped and check to make sure I could hear her sound asleep and went to the trees. I stepped out of my shorts and phased and was floored with the packs voices.

What took you so long?

Were where you?

Guys you know where I was. I had to make sure she was asleep she still doesn't know.

You have to tell her soon Seth. It was Sam of course he wanted me to get it over with as soon as possible but I just was lost on how. I replayed what I was thinking during the movie for Sam.

Yeah we have all been there you will decide what to do. Well the reason we are here is that we lost the sent again. I want to step up the patrols for a while. Seth Emily will come by in the morning to keep her company while we patrol. We will head over there to met back up. Seth, Embry and Quil go home get some sleep me, Jack and Jared will start now.

I can't hear if one of you guys howl over here so when one of you hear it text or call me. Bye guys. I ran back to the house but I had to hear the guys ragging on me the whole time.

Hey you guys have no reason to mess with me Paul, Jared you guys know for a fact you would get back to Rachel and Kim if you where in my shoes. That shut them up pretty fast I saw images of Paul and Jared trying to relate to there girls being hurt. And I saw flashes of Emily at the hospital and at home recovering from Sam. He knew what I was going though in some sense better than the others.

I went back to the tree line by her window pulled on my shorts and walked back in to the house. I went up stairs to check on her before I went to sleep. I pushed the door open and she was the same way I left her fast asleep. I went to the couch and laid down with my phone at my head and passed out right there. I was woken up to my phone buzzing in my ear I grabbed it with out looking at the caller id and answered it.

"Hello."

"Seth I am here let me in its time for you to go on patrol and me to stay with Katie."

"Oh ok I am coming." I had to drag myself off the couch to unlock the fount door to let Emily in. she was standing there with bags from the store on the rez.

"Good morning. Can you get the last two bags out." She gave me a one armed hug as I took the bag from her and set it down on the table before getting the other bags.

"What's all this for?"

"You are going to go patrol while I cook some breakfast. Now go before Sam comes in here."

"Too late he's to slow."

"But she's still asleep what if she wakes up before I come back."

"That's why Emily is here to keep her company while you go on patrol."

"If she wakes up tell her I went to the rez with Sam. I don't want to completely lie to her so a half truth is fine. Her medicine is over on the counter she needs to take it when she wakes up. She doesn't know about everything so don't let anything slip I want to tell her."

"Everything will be fine now go."

"Just keep a eye on her."

"Come on Seth she will be fine lets go."

"Fine."

Sam had to make me leave and I had to make my feet move to go out of the door. The farther I got from the house it was harder to keep moving. I stopped a few times Sam had to push me farther in to the woods to phase. Patrol was the worst it ever has been I could not stop thinking about her I drove the guys crazy. I was so glad to finally go when patrols where over and I could go back to Katie's house. I felt the pack following me as we ran to the woods lining her house. We hit the tree line and stopped phased back and pulled on our shorts. It was around nine in the morning Katie should be up by now and I could not wait to get back to her. I pushed the door open and saw her smile up at me as I can towards her. I went right over to her and gave her a big hug. I missed her while I was gone I just could not tell her that yet. Sam did the same thing and went straight to Emily giving her a hug and kissing her scared cheek. This was something he did every time he saw her to show she was the most beautiful women to him. All of the other guys were joking but I did not care all I cared about was the girl I was standing with. After Sam stopped kissing Emily she could finally get out what she was trying to tell us.

"Ok guys you're all here you can eat. Just me Leah and Katie get food first before you guys fight over the food." Oh course the guys had to complain about that. When it came to food and them they really were like wolfs not wanting to wait and fighting over it. But Sam set them straight.

"Hey ladies first if your girls were here you would not mind."

I leaned down to whisper in her ear so only she could hear and so I could get close to her again. "Go ahead if you wait there will be noting left."

"Really that's a lot of food." She looked up at me with a questioning look on her face.

I smiled down at her if she only knew the truth about why it would be gone so fast. "Trust me. And come on I will help you." We went in to the kitchen and I filled her a plate putting a little bit of everything on it. I pored her some juice and grabbed a fork and took the plate to the table. But at this point Embry had to open his big mouth with out thinking like usual.

"Hey how come Seth gets to eat and we don't." Embry had to say while I sat down next to Katie.

"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 did not mean to snap at him like that but when it came to Katie I was protective. The guys did not know that yet I tried to keep it under control but at times it was hard to do. I had to apologize to him later for that.

"I forgot sorry I am hungry."

I picked up her hand before asking her, "Do you need anything else before the guys have at it."

"No I am fine."

After Emily and Leah had sat down me and the rest of the guys went and got plates. After getting my plate I sat down next to Katie and Emily Sam then sat down in the chair on the other side of Emily. Both Sam and Emily were eyes Katie and I. I knew what they both were thinking I needed to tell her. I was so caught up in watching Katie that I barley heard Quil speak to Katie.

"Hey the bonfire is tomorrow night is Seth bringing you to the beach." I gave him a death glare I had not had time to talk to her about it. I wanted to let her know it was moved up a few days but Quil always had to bring things up at bad times.

"That's tomorrow I thought it was a few more days away." I looked down at her and she had this cute confused face.

"It was but its spouse to storm that night so we moved it closer I was going to tell you about it later. If your not up to it you can always go to the next one." I was hoping she was up to it I had planed on that kinda being out first date. I want to easy her in to the wolf thing and hearing Billy talk about the legends was a perfect way.

"I think I will be fine to go." She looked up at me like she was asking if it was ok to go. So I just smiled down at her to let her know it would be perfectly fine.

"Everyone is going to be there all of us and the girls." Paul was clearly thinking of Rachel he had the Rachel grin on. This was the love sick puppy look that he got whenever he thought about her. But I guess I now will have the same love sick puppy look when thinking about Katie. Katie was the last one to finish but we all stayed and talked while she struggled with eating again. Emily got up to clean up and do dishes naturally Katie went to help. She picked up her plate and went to grab mine when I took both from her and again when she tried to put more dishes in the sick I again took them from her she was so stubborn.

The guys had another movie I think they caught on to our movie thing. We all piled in to her living room to watch the movie. She snuggled to my side again which was something new for her but I keep my cool and put her arm around her. All the what ifs and how's started to run through my head. I still did not know how to tell her what happened. The bonfire was the next day I could us that time after the legends to tell her. Or if I told her before the bone fire would she believe me more if she heard what I said and then hear the legends. I had the what if she runs from me thing in my head too. If she thinks I am a monster or a crazy person or both. I just had to show her who I was before I showed her what I was. I was hoping that spending this past week with her had showed her I cared about her, that I could love her. That I could protect her, watch over her just like I had since we first met. My thinking was interpreted by Sam's phone ringing. When he picked up the phone I could hear it was on of the guys we were needed. My heart dropped when Sam said "Guys we gotta go." I knew that I had to leave her now and I could not tell her why.

All of the guys stood to leave saying there good byes and thanks to Emily and Katie. Sam kissed and hugged Emily and then Emily followed then outside to give us some privacy. She looked so sad that I had to go and it hurt me to leave her and not tell her why.

"I have to go."

"Why I don't understand."

"I will tell you everything but please trust me."

"Ok I trust you. Are you going to come back?" It was cute she thought I might not come back to her.

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

"Seth please promises you will tell me about this soon. I trust you I just don't want to be in the dark forever."

"I promise soon I hate keeping this from you." With out even thinking about it I pulled her in to a tight hug and kissed her check. I looked her in the eyes and told her a few hours. I wanted to kiss her again but really kiss her but that was not the time or the place for it. And again I did not want to push or scare her anymore than I would when she finds out about me. I ran out the door and to the woods I dropped my shirt on the porch on my way out the door along with my shoes. As soon as I hit the trees I pulled off my shorts and phased to join the pack and kill that red headed vamp.

We spent all day looking for that bloodsucker chasing her everywhere. We would get close just for her to slip past us out f our reach. After we chased her all the way to Canada we decided to go back to La Push and keep up on our regular patrols. I could finally go back to Katie and check on her again. Knowing Emily would have a dinner ready for us when we got there we headed back to Katie's house. When I came through the front door I smelled cookies and sure enough both Emily and Katie were taking cookies off of a pan when we walked in. I of course walked straight over to her.

"See told you I would be back."

"Yeah but six hours it 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." Tonight I had to decide how to tell her I had no choice now I told her I would tell her after the bone fire and that was tomorrow. I had to hope she would take it alright and not freak out on me. But I did not spend that night thinking at all.
