Seth

Chapter 13

I woke up early again the next morning Katie was still asleep pressed up against my back with her arm around my waist. I wanted to see her face as I watched her sleep so I rolled over on to my back to look at her. When I moved Katie just moved closer and took up her favorite spot on my shoulder. Through all of this she still slept it thrilled me that even in her sleep she knew I was there. When her mom got back I was going to have to try to sneak in here to be with her like this. After just two nights of this I was getting addicted to his presence while I slept. Going back to sleeping alone in my bed without her sent surrounding me just didn't seam possible anymore. I just hoped mom would not mind me being gone so much now.

Today was our last full day together tomorrow was Monday and we both needed to get back to school. With Katie out of the hospital we both no longer had a excuse to not be there and we both had piles of work to get in. so I took this time of us just being together to go over the last week. This time a week ago I didn't even know her and I was just Seth there was no imprint. Now things were completely different, I was different. Being a wolf always excited me gave me a purpose. I knew that protecting the tribe would make dad proud of me. But now I had to protect the girl in my arms as well. I knew what happen now we would be together for years and eventually I would marry her and have kids. I was fifth teen and thinking about marring a girl. I was nuts. But then again that what was going to happen that was what imprints do. But till then we would be happy just like this. Loving her.

But I still worried about Katie, Emily's face flashed in my mind the scares that Sam had given her. We all knew the story well Sam showed us what happened to Emily every time a new person phased for the first time. The images that I saw still haunt me she is my cousin and I love her. But to know that in one seconded of anger Sam forever changed Emily. I never wanted to find out what would happen if I lost my temper with Katie. So far there has not been a chance for me to find out just how much control I have on myself when it comes to her. I had never had trouble when it came to keeping my temper in check I am always a happy person and anger is not an emotion I have often. But even so I knew I would have to be careful around Katie when it came to it. I would have to run out of the house and away from her if it ever happened. I was not going to hurt her I would rather hurt myself trying to get away form her then for her to be hurt my me. But she had to know and telling her that I could kill her was just as hard as telling her what I am.

I wasn't even sure what Emily and her talked about but what ever it was it made her see that I was telling her the truth. Would the understanding that Emily had giving her carry over to today or would the worry and the questions start again. I just had to hope that she saw that I loved her and that I was here for her. That wolf and imprint or not I would still care about her as much as I do now. After staring at her for a full hour I knew I had to go the sun was starting to come up now and if I didn't show up soon the guys would start to get frustrated at me. Now that Katie knew I had no reason to not show up for my patrols. Sighing I picked her arm up off my chest and slid out of bed trying not to wake her. Just when I was setting her had down her grip tightened.

"Were are you going?"

"I need to go check in with the guys and run patrols for a few hours."

"Do you have to?"

"If I don't Sam will send one of the guys after me."

"Ok be careful."

"I will. Just go back to sleep I will be back before you wake up."

"Mmmmm kay."

She closed her eyes and feel straight to back to sleep. I pulled the blankets up to her shoulders so she would not get cold now that I wasn't there to keep her warm and kissed her on her cheek. I turned to leave I had to make my feet move towards the door as I always had to when leaving her. I hit the front door and ran to the trees pulling my shorts off and tying them to my leg as fast as I could. The faster I started patrols the faster I could get back to her. I closed my eyes let the fire take over and burst in to the wolf inside me.

Finally man

What took you so long was she keeping you distracted

No Paul she was asleep I just didn't want to leave her.

I don't believe you

Well I don't care. He really could get on my nerves pretty easily when it came to Katie.

Anyway how did she take it last night when you got back?

She took it ok. She was in shock for a while and then Emily talked to her. I showed them what happened when I got back to her the crying and her thinking I was trying to leave her. I started to run towards the guys that were making a loop around La Push and along the Cullen's border line.

See I told ya man she already loves you and she doesn't know it.

Yeah maybe

Can we get back to looking for that blood sucker.

We ran in our loops trying to find her but every time that we got close to her she would run away. She was tip toeing around our border and trying to separate us. Once we got pretty close to Katie's house this made me nervous as I did not want that red haired leach anywhere near Katie. We spent hours following her but decided to split up and take shifts again.

I went back to Katie's house her mom was due back that afternoon and I needed to be there. I went through the forest to the tree line outside her house after phasing back and pulling on my shorts at the tree line by Katie's window I saw a shirt hanging out her window. I climbed up the tree to see what it was. I was one of my shirts Katie has closed her window but hung the shirt out on the window so it is only seen on the out side. I pulled the shirt free and jumped down on the ground holding the shirt in my hand. I walked around to the front of the house to go inside only to find a car in the drive way. Katie's mom was home early.

I now understood why there was a shirt outside Katie's window it was for me she thought I might not have a shirt when I got back. I pulled my shirt on over my head and walked up the front steps to knock on the door. I hoped that her mom would not recognize that I was not wearing any shoes either. But again Katie thought about everything my shoes were outside the door with a pair of socks shoved in the shoes. I pulled the socks and shoes on and hoped this was going to go well.

Right as I got my foot shoved into the tied shoes the door opened to show Katie's mom. She was noting like Katie at all she stood a good half foot taller than Katie, and had dirty blonde her hair cut short. She was stilling wearing a pair of slacks and a nice silk white shirt and jacket to mach her skirt which was navy blue. But her eyes is what took me off guard right there was Katie's eyes. The wonderful gray blue eyes that I loved she got from her mother. Katie walked behind her mom and I got lost looking at her she was still in her pajamas that I saw her in when I left her hair was a mess but she was still beautiful. I was brought out of my staring from someone clearing there throat.

"You must be Seth."

"Yes ma'ma I am."

"Well come on in then." As I walked back into the house I had spent days in it felt entirely different than it did. It no longer was easy to be there the lightness that came from being in that house was gone. Katie's mom turned around to look at me again before she spoke.

"Well why don't you come have some hot tea with Katie and I."

"No, thank you I am not much of a tea person."

"Well how about some hot chocolate then. it's a little chilly outside I bet you're a bit cold "

"Yes please."

I walked over to the table and sat down next to Katie as her mom was busy around the kitchen getting the tea pot warm. As I sat down I picked up Katie's hand then pointed to my shirt and shoes and mouthed thank you to her. She just smiled at me and squeezed my hand back. I pulled my eyes away from Katie right when Katie's' mom sat down our mugs and she took her seat on the other side of Katie. Never having to deal with parents of a girl I was nerves as hell. Katie's mom had this look of sternness yet at the same time protectiveness of her only daughter. Her gaze fell on my hand that was over Katie's on the table that completely hid Katie's hand. I slowly pulled my hand back and placed it on my warm mug acting like the warmth of the hot chocolate would warm them up.

"So I am just going to get to the point you met at the beach." She was staring at us waiting for a answer to her question.

We both nodded

"Were Katie hurt her arm?"

Another nod

"And Seth you slept down here on the couch every night?"

I could not nod at that and Katie asked me to keep me staying with her between us so I had to lie as much as it hurt me. "Yes ma'ma

I did."

Turning to Katie she asked. "And how is your arm let me see?"

"I am fine I go back in a few days and Dr. Cullen will look at it."

"I don't care let me see." Katie pulled up her sleeve of her hoodie that she was wearing and put her arm up on the table for her mom to look at.

"Its time to change the banged anyways just pull at the tape to get it open." Katie turned to me while her mom was pulling at the tape on her arm. "Seth were is the bag?"

"Up stairs I will go get it. I stood up and walked up stairs to Katie's room and tried to not lesson in to what they were saying. But with my hearing I could not help it.

"He seams like a nice boy."

"He is mom. He has taken care of me this whole time. If it wasn't for him I would have been hurt worse or not even gotten to the hospital when I did."

"I am happy he was there. I really want to know what they put in the water here though. He is the forth boy his size I have seen since being here."

"Maybe it's just the water in La Push."

"I think so."

I headed back down knowing I could not eavesdrop for long with out being missed by them. I walked to the table and set the bag down and pulled out what was needed to change her bandage. While I was gone Katie's mom had unwrapped the tape and gauze and was looking at the damage that was done to her arm. She looked up to Katie.

"Rocks did this?"

"Yeah."

"When do you need to go back in?"

"About two days Dr. Cullen said to just come in."

"Ok I will go with you to see if there's anything I need to know and now tell me how to wrap this up."

After Katie told her mom how to wrap her arm up and it was wrapped and taped in new gauze. She told Katie to head up stairs to get dressed that they were going to spend some time together to catch up. This left me alone with her mom at the table. I heard Katie rummaging around in her room trying to fine something to wear. This gave Katie's the chance to interrogate me her eyes landed on me.

"I can't help to ask you this Seth as her mother I need the truth. You stayed on the couch correct."

"Yes."

"Noting happened while I was gone."

"No ma'ma noting."

"How did she fall?"

"The rocks are really slippery out on the tide pools she fell in to the pools while looking at them. When she tried to get out she slipped again and a wave hit her. I saw it happen and then watched her walk over to the fire they had built. It was then that I saw the blood and went to help her out."

"Well thank you really. She seems to always get hurt when she is alone." This just made me smile because I was starting to see that. "But now for the big question are you and Katie together?"

"Yes we are."

"Well then more the reason for me to met you now. You seem like a nice young man and I am going to trust you but I have to tell you she is still upset over her dad. Its not easy for her to talk about it and I don' t know if she told you what happened but we both are healing right now please down break her heart I don't know if she could handle it."

"I have no intention of hurting her." I sighed before saying, "She told me a few days ago about what happened to her dad. I lost my dad not to long ago as well."

"I am sorry to hear that I just hope that brings you together."

At that Katie walked down the stairs in tight jeans and a fitted red sweater I had to look away before her mom caught me staring at Katie. I hadn't seen her in anything but sweats and pajamas since that day at the beach when we met. Katie's mom got up out of her chair and walked to Katie.

"I am going to go upstairs and change I will give you two a few minutes before we go to lunch."

"Thanks mom."

Smiling she walked over to me I stood and wrapped my arms around her. "Do you want to go outside for a few minutes?" She just nodded at me. I took her hand and lead her to the front door and to the steps. It was a bit chilly outside so I put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her to my side. She just sighed and snuggled closer. "So how was my mom not to harsh I hope."

"Everything was fine really she was just worried about you."

"She wants to go to the lunch in town and caught up from the past week."

"That's good you to have a lot to talk about."

"Yeah I can tell she is going to ask a lot about you."

"I would too but you do know there are things you can't tell her right."

"Yes, everything about what you are."

"Yeah I am sorry you have to keep that from her but you only know because you're my imprint."

"Its ok it's important to you. I won't be long you can come back over if you want to."

"No, you should have some time with your mom."

"Please I don't know what to do when your gone."

"You know I can't say no to you. Tonight when you get back I will be in the woods open your window and I will come in that way and see you tonight before you go to sleep."

"Thanks"

"I am going to go. Have fun with your mom I will get my bag later and I will see you soon." I kissed her cheek quickly and ran towards the woods. As soon as I was safely hidden in the trees I pulled off my cloths and shoes tired my shorts to my leg and phased. I inched close to the tree line to watch Katie and her mom get into there car and pull out of the drive way. When I finally could not see the car anymore I was pulled out of watching her drive off from Jared yelling at me.

Seth stop drooling over Katie and lesson to me.

Sorry what.

There's a problem cone to Sam's.

I sped towards Sam's house which was right near the woods that we always used for our convenience. I could tell even from the tree line that there was a lot of auguring by the house this had to be bad really bad.
