Ok so here is the big moment I know everyone has been waiting for. I have thought about rewriting this many times but I think what comes out the first time is what's spouse to happen so I kept it. I will post Katie's point of view tomorrow hopefully I work two shifts tomorrow at work so I may be able to get it in between my shifts. If not then Monday after classes and things will be slowing down with classes so once a week to everything other week hopefully. So hang in there with me when things get tough and I promise I will keep going when I can. So on with the story.

Chapter 11

Seth

The next day we were having the bonfire on the beach were we always have it. Some of the guys had moved a few old logs next to the fire so we had a place to sit besides the sand. Emily and Sam got hot dogs and buns while the rest of us got chips and things for smores for the night. It was kinda a special night Leah and I had not heard the stories since we became wolfs. And then there was the fact that Kim, Katie and now Bella had not heard them either. So that night was special in more than one reason.

We both slept late that day after I got back from patrolling we stayed up half the night talking. We were in her room sitting together on her bed my arm around her and her head on my shoulder. We talked about a lot of things that we haven't before. We just went from one thing to another with no clear reason to anything. Emily told her I was fifth teen which she was really surprised about me. I did not blame her becoming a wolf has made me look years older than what I really am. I just hoped I would not bother her that much.

"So Emily told me your fifth teen."

"She did I was going to tell you that." For some reason I felt a blush come up.

"Its ok it's no big deal."

"Really it doesn't bother you.

"I kinda wish you would have told me but I understand it probably slipped our mind. But you don't seam like the normal guy your age. Emily told me about your dad too." At this she dropped her eyes from my face like she should not have brought it up.

"I was going to tell you about that too."

"Don't worry I understand if you don't want to talk about it. I should of told you about my dad too."

"What do you mean?" I was confused I just assumed her parents were spilt up and that's why she moved to Forks.

"My dad died six months ago in a car accident."

"Can I ask what happened?"

"He was driving home from work one night and a drunk driver hit him. He ran a red light and slammed into the driver's side door. The impact of the two cars pushed my dad's car down a hill it rolled to the bottom. Even though my dad had his set belt on it was too much and he had to wait to long for someone to find him. It took an hour for another car to come by and see what happened. Then another 30 minutes for them to figure out my dads car was down there. He was barely alive when they found him but he did not make it to the hospital. The man who hit my dad's car is now in prison for killing him. That's why we moved here mom could not stand being there anymore. Everything reminded us of him the stores, streets, people, the house."

When she started telling me what happened to her dad I could tell she was determined not to cry but the more she told me the harder it got for her. Her voice changed first but still held that desertedness but she lost her fight and her tears spilled over and I felt them soak my shirt. By the time she finished her eyes were flowing with her tears. I had to just pull her closer and wipe them away. My heart broke to see her like this I wanted a piece of the man who did this to her and her family. But with out him I would never have met her. "I am sorry I am so sorry." It was all I cold think to say but I knew what she was going through. But now it was my turn to tell her. I wiped another tear away that fell from her eye and started to tell her what happened.

"It's been about a month sine we lost dad. He had a heart attack one day. There's not much to what happened he started to feel bad a few months before hand and went to the doctor. They told him to take it easy cut down on things. It just happened one day when Leah and I were sick. I had to grown up lot after that I have to take care of Leah and mom. I know dad would want me to make sure there safe and that everything is fine. By our standards I am already a man in the tride eyes. With dad leaving us a lot was put on my shoulders that night more than I was ready for." I did not know it by a tear did escape my eyes I had never admitted that to anyone ever. Katie reached up and wiped it away. We both just sat there in each others arms thinking about the fathers we both lost and finding comfort in each other.

We sat in silence just lying there together for a while I could still tell Katie was crying for her dad. I just did what I could to clam her taking her hand and with the other rubbing circles on her back. My heart shared in the a thousand pieces when she finally let go. The sobs that came broke my heart even more. I did not know what to do so I just picked her up and put her in my lap and just wrapped my arms around her. I could not tell her that it would be ok because I knew it never would be ok. We both had lost our dads but I did not lose mine in a tragic way as she had.

The next thing I knew she was asleep I was thrilled she fell asleep were she did but at the same time I did not want her crying to be the reason. I knew I had to go down stairs and sleep I did not want to get on the wrong side of her mom. I picked her up and placed her back on the bed and then I tried to loosen her fist that now was full of my shirt. I almost got her to let go before she grabbed another hand full of my shirt and woke up. I reached down and brushed her hair out of her face to tell her I had to go. "Katie you have to let go I have to go to bed down stairs."And with that she asked the most unexpected thing ever.

"Please stay." She was so cute the way she asked. But I knew I shouldn't.

"I promised your mom I would only sleep down stairs." She still had my shirt in her hand and held tight. I knew I could get her to let go but I did not want to hurt her.

"I won't tell her it can stay between us. I just don't want to be alone right now." Her eyes were still red and her face still streaked with her tears. I could now see where the guys said you can never say no to your imprint. I just sighed and gave in.

"Ok let me go change and I will be right back."

"Why."

"Well my shirt is all wet for one thing and my shorts are dirty."

"Sorry about your shirt."

"Don't worry about it. Can I ask you something about that?"

"Yeah."

"How long has it been since you have cried like that for your dad?"

"Not since the night he died."

"You shouldn't do that it only makes it worse. But I won't bring it up again only if you want to talk about it will I bring it up. Now I will be right back."

I took the steps two at a time to the living room and dug out another t- shirt from the bottom. I pulled off the dirty shorts and pulled on another and threw the wet shirt and dirty shorts in my bag and carried my dry shirt with me. I did not want to leave her alone to long now when she was feeling so up set. When I got back up stairs she had changed in to a tight tank top and short shorts. How in the world was I going to sleep when she looked like that? She had always worn sweats, t- shirts and jeans around me so this was new.

It was bad enough I had to rein in the wolf when around her now I had to rein in the fifth teen year old in me. When she saw me back her face lit up and she smiled. I could hardly tell that she was crying not five minutes ago. When her face went to my now shirtless chest she turned bright red before looking down. I pulled my shirt on while she climbed back into bed her still red faced. I sat down next to her trying to keep my distance till I could control both sides inside me. I took her hand in mine before asking her what I wanted to since I walked in the room.

"What made you change?"

"My shirt was a little wet too and when I am with you I always seam to get a bit warm. I did not want to get to hot." She looked at our hand as she said this and turned another shade of red which just made her that much cuter. I pushed a few strands of stray hair out of her face and behind her ear. "You ready to go back to sleep." She just shook her head while still looking down.

"You sure you want me up here I can go down stairs when ever you want me too."

She spoke this time but still kept her head down. "I am sure I don't want to be alone right now we drugged up to many things I try to keep away."

"Ok I will stay for you." I lay down next to her but did not let go of her hand after I got settled she laid down right there next to me. We were facing each other our hands were clasped between us but yet she did not close her eyes. Her long hair fell in her face again I gently brushed it out of her face and took that moment to run my fingers over the soft skin of her face. I felt a warm liquid on her cheek she was crying again. I pulled her back in to my arms and wiped away her tears. She put her head back were it was before we moved and drifted back to sleep. I wasn't far behind her I drifted off to sleep with her holding tightly to me like a life line.

I woke up early the next morning the sun was just starting to come up I found her just the way she was last night sound asleep with a fist full of my shirt. She was so beautiful with her eyes closed and hair all over the pillow she was a dream. I knew I had to check in with the guys and see if everything was alright. I had to gently pry her hand lose of my shirt so I could get up out of bed. I managed to get her hand lose and I slid out from under her with out waking her up. I slipped out the front door and ran to the trees to phase and check in. I let the burning take over me and in no time I felt the other guys in my head.

Hey guys what happened last night?

Noting we did try and text you last night but we got no answer what was going on that you ignored us.

I showed the guys our long talk and what happened when Katie brought up her dad and mine. They were going to find out about it eventually I might as well show them when I wanted them to know instead of them finding out while I was not guarding my thoughts.

Dude you spent the night up in her room way to go.

Paul it wasn't like that and you know it. I did not want them to get the wrong impression of what happened last night it was harmless.

So what did happen? Sam of course wanted to make sure I did not screw anything up. Paul screwed up telling Rachel and that caused some of her over reaction and since Paul Sam wanted to help us tell our imprints and not freak them out.

Noting Sam. We talked about our dads she got really upset and did not want to be alone. What should I have done she was crying. I showed sam the sobs that took over her when she finally let go last night.

Did you tell her last night?

No I am going to tonight after the legends. I think it's better if she hears them first she may understand better.

Well then be at the beach at six and don't be late.

I won't I am going to go back inside.

I phased back and dressed and went in to the house again. I decided I wanted to try my hand at cooking her breakfast and since I did not know much about cooking I called an expert. It was still early but I knew Emily would be up she got up at the crack of dawn with Sam to make sure he ate before he left for work or patrols. She walked me through cooking eggs and bacon. I even found a can of biscuits and some pancake mix and syrup and had Emily walk me through how to make that too. After I pull the pan of biscuits out of the oven and turned the oven off. I managed to not burn anything or burn the house down as well. After I set the table and put everything I could think we would need on the table I went to go wake Katie up. She was still asleep and still as beautiful as she was when I left her.

I pushed her hair back and bent down to whisper in her to ear. "Katie hun wake up I have a surprise for you." She opened her eyes and blinked a few times before her eyes fell on my face. She was so cute when she was sleepily.

"Hmmm what surprise? How early is it?"

"Its about nine and you have to come down stairs to see the surprise."

"Ok I am coming." She sat up and rubbed her eyes why she yawned. "How late did we stay up last night?"

"I think till about three maybe four." She leaned her four head on my arm as I told her how late we stayed up. "Come on lets go down stairs." I grabbed her hand and led her down stairs to our awaiting breakfast. Before we got to the bottom of the stairs I covered her eyes. I led her down the last few steps making sure she did not fall. When I uncovered her eyes and I saw that smile that I have been starting to love. Her face lit up like she never had seen breakfast before.

"You did this?"

"Yeah I had a little help."

She did the most unexpected thing she threw her arms around me and hugged me as tight as she could. We had a great breakfast we talked some more about everything. Favorite colors seasons and things to do. How school was doing for both of us and what she planed on doing after graduation. She told me about the east cost and her other school and friends. Before we knew it it was time for lunch but we talked right through lunch. We made us some sandwiches and we settled in for another movie to kill time before going to the bone fire.

At five I realized that we had no way of getting out to La Push so I had to call the guys to come and get us. I jumped up to grab my phone and called Embry.

"Hey Seth what's up?"

"Hey man Katie and I have no way to get out to la push."

"You need me to come and get you too."

"Yeah I would call Sam but he has been taking me everywhere lately. And him and Emily have a lot of things to get together for tonight."

"I am getting fire wood with Quil and Claire right now in a little bit I will come by and get you too."

"Thanks man I owe you."

"See ya soon."

Embry came by at five thirty to pick us up and we headed to the beach a little early. We met Quil at the beach he had Clare with him he was chasing her around the spot we picked out earlier tickling her when he caught her. Quil had Claire in his arms and I was just tickling her when we walked up to the beach.

"Hey guys." Quil looked up at us as we walked up.

"Hey."

Quil turned to Katie to ask, "Well how you feeling?"

"Pretty good Seth is taking really good care of me." She turned red again at this.

"That's good. Oh and this is Claire I watch for her parents every once in a while. Claire say hi to Seth and Katie."

"Hi. Quil play." As always Claire was tugging on Quil's shorts to make him play with her. All of us knew that that little girl had him pretty much wrapped around her tiny little finger.

"Sorry sweetie I gotta get the bone fire set up with Seth and Embry can you sit and color with Katie?" Quil looked at Katie, "Do you mind we have to get fire wood."

"I don't mind." She shook her head and smiled.

"I will be back Claire's good if she gets to be to much yell for me and Quil. She lessons to Quil better than anyone else. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and went to help Quil gather up as much fire wood as we could from the beach and near by trees. And Quil had to ask the one question I knew someone was going too asked eventually.

"So what really happened last night?"

"Noting Quil."

"So you didn't sleep with her." Oh course Embry had to ask that question.

"No she was upset. Do you really think that I would do that before I told her?"

"The other guys think so. They think you only showed us half of what happened."

"That was all of it."

"I just have seen what the other guys feel about there imprints you can't tell me that that has not crossed your mind. Oh course I don't feel about Claire that way but you don't have the problem."

"Of course it has but I am not acting on anything. You have no idea how strong that side of the wolf is. It takes all my restraint to not even kiss her and I am starting to lose that battle too. It's hard enough that the wolf wants out when it comes to her but now I have the fifth teen year old self there too. I tried to not touch her to much before I told her about me but I already have failed at that. I don't know how long I can keep this up."

"You're telling her tonight right?" Embry asked while picking up another stick.

"Yeah I can't keep it from her any longer. The night we took off when Sam got that call I told her I would tell her everything to night I can't take that back."

"Well it looks like it will go well she already is attached to you. It seams like she already loves you and just doesn't know it." Quill added two more pieces of wood to his growing stack in his arms.

"I hope so god I hope I do better than Paul did with Rachel."

"Trust me I saw how Paul told Rachel he really screwed up you will do better than what he did. Right after he told her and she freaked out I was phased when he showed Sam." Embry grabbed one last piece of wood.

"What did Paul say to her?"

"Well the first words out of his mouth were Rachel I love you. Now that was a big mistake he didn't even ease on into it he just flat out said it."

"Wow no wonder why she freaked out."

"Yeah well we better get back."

The three of us headed back with arm full of wood for the fire. From the wood that Quil slowly collected earlier and the wood Embry piled up as well we had a good stack of wood. It was getting close to six so we needed to head back to were we had the fire set up. When we got back I could hear Claire telling Katie where to color what color and pointing and chatting away. They were so cute together that Quil and I just let them keep coloring and talking while the others started to show up. Jake and Paul were carrying Billy's wheel chair over the sand and Sam was carrying a cooler full of food. Everyone was starting to show up and taking there places around the fire. Mom showed up and I wanted Katie to meet her.

"Claire I am going to steal Katie away."

"Why?"

"I want her to meet someone."

"Why?" Great Claire's favorite game.

Quil came and saved the day by picking Claire up and swinging her around while she laughed. "Alright girly lets go play while Seth and Katie go talk to Sue."

"Thanks Quil

"My mom just got here I want you to met her."

"Really?"

"Yeah mom is one of the tribal elders since dad died she took his place." We walked over towards mom and Billy and old Quil.

"Mom this is Katie. Katie this is my mom."

"It's nice to meet you finally. I saw you when I went to the hospital to talk to Seth but you were asleep. I hope are your feeling better and your arm is healing fine."

"I am feeling really good. Seth is helping me change the bandage and everything he's been a really big help.'

"I am glad to hear that. Are you excited to hear the legends?"

"Yes Seth told me they are very interesting."

"They are as a people we see some truth in them. We take they seriously there like some of our history. There passed down from generation to generation never changing. We are about to start eating you two better grab a spot so you don't miss out on the food."

"Yeah we should." I turned to Katie, "We better go sit you've seen the guys eat." We went and picked out a spot by the now lit fire. Katie sat down on the sand in front of the logs I took a set right next to her and put my arm on the log behind her. The sticks and hot dogs where passed around to everyone. When I gave her a stick and passed her the hot dogs the most random thing came out. "Yay hot dogs on a stick." I just laughed at her as she smiled as she put her hot dog on her stick and put it in the fire to cook. After everyone had eaten we passed around things to make smores. Oh course flaming marshmallows were thrown. I had to knock one from hitting Katie that Jared flicked over the fire. I also had to fake that it hurt and burned me so Katie would think that there was anything different with me.

It was now time for Billy and old Quil to tell everyone the legends. Like always the legends were told in Quileute so Jake and I had to translate for Katie and Bella. I took the chance to lean close to Katie and whisper in her ear what old Quil was saying. I made sure she knew everything about the sprit warriors, about wolfs, a hit about imprints, the first wife, and sadly vampires the cold ones. She lessoned intently to old Quil and Billy taking in everything that I told her. After we heard all of the old stories I decided it was time to take her on a walk and tell her everything. So I built up the courage and asked the hardest question so far, "Will you take a walk with me?"

"Sure where?"

"Just down the beach." I reached out to her and help her up off the sand. I kept her hand as we walked down the beach I took that time to try and decided how to word what I had to tell her. So I decided to take my time to get to the tree I was sitting on the day we met and tell her there. The entire way there I could feel her looking up at me and she even squeezed my hand a few times. I knew she was waiting on me to tell her and I knew she knew it was coming. We reached the tree and I had to say something. So I just took a deep breath and started and prayed I don't screw up to badly.

"So the thing I promised to tell you its kind of two things and its big too."

"Ok"

"I am going to tell you but please hear me out lesson to everything I say before you say anything. And please please don't run off with out at lest asking me questions and talking to me."

"I promise not going anywhere."

So I just took both of her hands in mine and looked her in the eyes as I spoke trying to show her I was telling the truth. "The legends that you heard tonight there true. The tribe takes the legends pretty seriously we don't harm wolfs because the sprit warriors were wolfs. It's against the tribal laws to kill one no matter what. There are members of our tribe that are descents of the first sprit warrior. I am one of them the guys you met my friends there descents of him too. We protect the tribe we make sure everyone is safe. We keep everyone safe by being sprit warriors the protectors." And this is where I got suck I had to chose my words carefully. "We become the sprit warrior of a wolf when we are needed to protect the tribe." I just stared at her hoping she connected the dots to the impossible.

"I don't understand." I dropped her hands putting head the my hands at this point I did not know how to word it that would not scare her or make her think I was a crazy person. So I just decided to get it over with and lay things out there.

"I am not normal Katie feel my hands any of my skin don't I feel like I am sick with a fever to you?" I picked up her hands again to prove my point showing her how warm my skin is.

"Yes, but what dose this have to do with anything."

"Trust me it has everything to do with it. Three months ago I wasn't much taller than you or much bigger. I started to grow inches in weeks I grew stronger developed muscles and then the fever set in. it was the same with all of the guys. I am going to tell you what happened next but you have to trust me that it's the truth. I am not laying to you or anything it's true. After the fever sets in anger builds up in us that to a point that we phase. Phase means we turn in to the sprit warrior inside of us. Your stuffed wolf I gave you one of them looks like my sprit warrior but I am a lot bigger."

"I still don't understand what you're trying to say."

I had decided that blunt and straight forward was going to have to work now. "Katie I turn in to a horse sized wolf it's a gene that lives on in our tribe. We protect our tribe from the cold ones, vampires. All of my friends are wolfs too when we left the other night one of the guys patrolling around the rez caught the sent of a vampire we have been tracking. He called us to tell us we needed to come back. We left and tracked her down and was following her we chased her all the way to Canada. I can smell as good as a normal wolf and hear just as good if better than one. I am one of the newest ones to phase and the youngest."

"Why are you telling me this? I want to believe you but its just not possible. People turning into wolfs and vampires just don't exist. Were wolfs and vampires are only in movies there not in the real world."

"How could I be joking my hands how could I be that warm and not be sick. In fact I don't think we can get sick or hurt. When we break or cut something it heals really fast. If you think I am joking and messing with you we can go back to the guys ask them or Emily even my mom anyone there will tell you the same thing." At this point I was begging her to trust me.

"Ok so if its true why tell me you have known me a week that hardly gives me the right to know something this big."

"Well that's the seconded thing I was going to tell you about. That day on the beach something happened on the beach when I met you. I imprinted on you its one of the wolf things. It's when we find our soul mate the person that is spouse to be with us. When I met you I imprinted on you I care about Katie. You have to feel it you can't deny it after last night." She was staring at our hands I couldn't see her face and I could not tell what she was thinking. Maybe being straight forward was a bad idea. I waited for her to say something anything for her to yell at me deny it walk away but noting. I could not take it any more I had to know what she was thinking.

"Katie please look at me. What are you thinking please tell me."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She didn't sound mad just curious.

"I did not want to scare you. And I wanted us to get to know each other. I didn't want you to think what you felt was forced and that there was no choice for you. What ever you want me to be I will be that for you a friend, boy friend, brother anything you want. I want to be your boy friend but if you're not ready for that then I will wait until you are. Please just talk to me."

"I don't know what to say. I don't know what I want. It's so much to take in right now."

"Then I will be right here till you know what you want. If I ever say something or do something you don't like all you have to do is tell me. I don't want to make you uncomfortable with this. I just want you to be happy. Do you want to walk back and talk about this later when you have thought about all of this."

"Yeah."

"If you need to talk to someone about this besides me Sam imprinted on Emily so she knows what is going on."

"Ok."

We walked back in silence I did not want to ask her what she was thinking I had to give her time to mull things over. I was so scared to mess it up I didn't even take her hand as we walked back. She just walked there right next to me staring at the sand as she walked. I was waiting for anything her to yell at me to leave her alone, run, tell me I am a jerk for messing with her anything but noting happened.

As much as I wanted to fix this I did not know how with no experience in girls besides Leah I had no clue what to do. I just couldn't figure out why she wasn't reacting in any way I expected something anything but no reaction what so ever. When we got back to the fire just about everyone had left except Sam and Emily. I knew they were going to take us home and Sam was going to check up on how it went. We walked back up to the fire and she went straight over and sat down. I just stood there trying to figure out what to do from here and nothing came up. Finally Sam saw me struggling with my thoughts and came over to talk to me.

"What did you do?"

"Noting ok so I tried to be smooth about it at first and then I just was straight forward and just came out and said it. She's confused I can feel it I just couldn't explain it right. Could Emily talk to her?"

"I think she already decided to. Let's get you two home its after midnight."

"Sam."

"Yeah."

"What if she doesn't come around?"

"She will."

Sam had motioned for Emily to leave and now I had to break our silence and tell her we were going home. I kneeled down next to her so she could see me and asked her, Are you ready to leave?" She just nodded and stood up I held a hand out to her to help her up. To my relief she took it and held tightly as we walked to the car. I helped her into the car and held her hand the whole way there. Sam thankfully had a tactful way of letting Emily and Katie talk with out us there. "Seth lets go check in with the other guys on patrol see if there is anything going on. Emily can you keep Katie company while we are gone." Sam just got a sure from Emily as they kept walking in the door. All I could do is head to the woods with Sam and phase. The guys wasted no time to ask how it went.

So Seth how bad did you mess up?

I hope not as bad as Paul.

Shut up Embry you have not even imprinted.

It went ok I am not to sure.

Alright Seth show me what happened. So I went through everything that happened the walk, the smooth explanation and then the flat out telling her what happened. When I got to the last part the guy's just groaned in unison. I guess I did not do so well in that.

You did fine Seth I think you were right she just is confused and needs time. Hopefully Emily will be able to clear things up for her. Well let's take a run while Emily talks to her to give them some time. So we ran with the guys for a while. Searching for the sent of the vampire we had been looking for weeks now. We ran around the res and followed the old sent hoping to cross the path of her again but with little luck. She would show up for a few days while we run around chasing her and then she would disappear for a week or two then shows up again. This blood sucker was getting old fast. After almost an hour Sam thought it was enough time for the girls to talk and we headed back.

As we phased back to head back to the house walking in the door holding our shirts in our hands I thought I heard something I didn't like at all. When we walked through the door to the living room of Katie's house I saw the worst thing ever Katie was crying. I did not care at that point if she was mad at me or scared of me I walked right over to her and hugged her tight to just make everything better.

"Shhhh shhhh its ok. What's wrong did something happen while I was gone?"

"N- n-no." She was still sobbing and crying but let me hold her while I was trying to fix what ever happened.

"What's wrong if noting happened?"

"I didn't think you were telling me the truth. I thought you made up all of that to push me away instead of just telling me you don't want to see me again. Or that you did not like me you just took care of me and wanted a way out without hurting my feelings."

"What gave you that impression?"

"I don't know everything just seamed to good to be true. You didn't know me but you took care of me and I let you. Everything just seamed so easy with you I told you things no one else knows."

"Have you been paying attention this week I do care about you. You're my imprint I am spouse to be with you. I told you things no one else knows too." I lifted her chin with my finger for her to look at me, "I love you it may scare you too but I do. If you don't love me right now it's ok. Just give me a chance to show you that I do care about you and love you." Thankfully she just said ok and buried her head in my chest again. Her hair tickled my chest as I hugged her tight a little too tight.

"Ouch."

"I am sorry what did I do?"

"My arm still hurts."

"Let me see." I took her arm like I had so many times before and unwrapped her banged. Sure enough it was bleeding again. "Stay right here I am going to get the bag." I stood up and kissed her cheek as I walked in to the kitchen to grab the paper bag with the bandages in it. I just noticed we were alone Sam and Emily must have walked out while I was calming Katie down. Sitting back down next to her I cleaned and rewrapped her arm. It was looking better than it had ever before. "There all better. And I should let you get to bed I should too I have to patrol a few hours tomorrow."

"What's patrolling?"

"I have to go looking for that vampire."

"Alone?" It was so cute she sounded scared for me.

"The guys will be with me we are always together when we patrol."

"Is that what you where doing when you guys left the other night."

"Yes remember I told you."

"Well you told me a lot it was quite a bit of stuff to take in. What time so you have to leave?"

"About five. I will be gone only a few hours hopefully before you even wake up. Come on I will sit with you for a little bit before we both fall asleep." We started walking up the stairs to her room when she asked me to stay again. "Please stay with me."

"Hun you know I shouldn't."

"But mom won't be back for two more days. And no one will know but us."

"Well the guys will know but they won't tell your mom."

"You're going to tell them." She sounded horrified with wide eyes and everything.

"Yes and no. it's a wolf thing we read each others mind while we are phased. So if I am not careful they will see it there's not much privacy between us." We were at her door I took her hand and pulled her to her bed to sit down.

"So they saw last night?"

"Yeah don't worry the guys know what they see they need to pretend they didn't see it. We all know there's a line we never cross and what they saw is part of it. They won't bring it up unless you or I do."

"I guess I just need to get used to that don't I."

"Pretty much. Now I am going to step out so you can change." I kissed her again and walked out and down the stairs I grabbed a glasses of water and realized my shorts had mud all over them. I dug a pair out of my bag and went to the bathroom to change. I headed back upstairs to Katie who was waiting again she was in those tight shirt and shorts. She was going to kill me slowly with those and she didn't even know it. She had her hair down it hung lose over her shoulders and fell in her face. She was beautiful.

"You changed?"

"My shorts were covered in mud. It happens a lot we run around with them tired to our legs so they get pretty dirty." I crawled in to her bed next to her. She snuggled up next to me as if it happened every night and I wish I could. She sided and put her hurt hand on my chest I kissed her four head and looked down at her face and she was fast asleep. I did not want to wake her after such a long day so I just closed my eyes and let myself fall asleep with her.
