next chapter :)

"Yeah…I know André. He goes to the same school as me."

"When did you last see him?" asked Bella.

"Umm… I think it was the day before I got into hospital."

Seth growled, remembering what had happened. André had tried to feel me up, before Seth scared him away.

Bella and Alice looked at each other. "The same day as Emmett disappeared..." Alice murmured.

We stood in silence for a while, lost in thought.

Bella interrupted our thoughts. "We found out where his house was and talked to his mom this morning. She says he went out with a cousin, but they should have been back yesterday, and she can't reach him. She also let it slip that he had been acting strange the week before he left."

Alice looked thoughtful. "We could go and check his house. Maybe there's something in his room that could help us out."

Ten minutes later, thanks to Alice's idea, we were standing under a small grove of trees that grew in his back yard, looking up at his house.

"Where do you think his room is?" I asked.

Seth shrugged. "I suppose we can go inside and look for it."

"Is his mom home?"

They all shook their heads. I looked at them, and Bella explained. "We can't hear anyone inside."

Alice quickly scaled one wall, and tested a small window. It opened easily, and she turned to grin at us before slipping inside. Bella went up next, and slipped herself through the small gap.

Seth looked at the small window in distain. "Vampires. Always feel the need to show off." He walked to the back door of the house and tried the handle. It opened easily under his strong grip, as he grinned back at me. "Come on, Katie. Nothing to lose."

The house was spotlessly clean. There was no dust on any of the many wooden bookshelves inside, or on the old, leather bound books in them. We walked through a living room that was sparsely furnished, except for more giant bookshelves stacked with very old, valuable looking books. Seth walked ahead of me, impressively quiet for his size. I followed him up some stairs, and saw Alice and Bella walking into a room down the hall.

We followed them inside. I looked at the door on my way in. it had 'ANDRÉ'S ROOM. STAY AWAY.' scratched into the wood. The room was dark, and when I flipped the light switch on, the first thing I realized was how different the room was from the rest of the house.

The room was a mess. The walls were covered in parts of posters that had been ripped off the walls. A single window let in some feeble light, it had been smashed, and shards of glass covered the floor. There was a bed in the corner, with huge scratches in the wood. The mattress had been cut into lots of small pieces along with the pillows, and there were small white feathers all over the room. Half of a desk stood against the wall, and the other half was lying around the room in splintered parts. A closet was standing against the wall, the clothes inside it neatly folded, but the door was hanging off its hinges. There was another doorway in the room, and the door had a huge, splintering hole in the middle of it.

Alice confidently strode to the door with the hole on it, and I followed her, gingerly placing one foot in front of the other so I wouldn't fall or slip on all of the broken parts on the floor. Alice pulled the door open, and I heard her gasp softly.

"What is it Alice?" I whispered, even though I knew there was no one in the house.

Seth looked over our heads. "What the…" I heard him say to himself.

I pushed past Alice to get into the room, and stopped dead. It was a small room, barely three meters across, and I looked around, horrified. The walls were covered in pictures. Pictures of me. They had been taken everywhere. There were some where I was at school, in class, or the hallway, or the cafeteria, or the library, there were some of me while I was walking outside, some of me in my car. Seth put his hand on my shoulder and guided me out of the room. I was stunned, unable to talk.

Seth's head turned towards the two vampires. "Do you hear that?"

They looked at him for a second. Alice shook her head, but Bella nodded. "I hear something…" she said. "What is it?"

He tilted his head to one side and concentrated. "Car." He said suddenly. "We have to leave."

Alice and Bella ran towards the window, vaulting out of it. Seth picked me up, and slipped out of the window, which was slightly larger than the one that Bella and Alice had come in through. He landed surprisingly lightly, and ran after the two female vampires. While he was faster than a human could be, he was no match for the vampires in his non-wolf form. He followed them as best as he could, and they slowed down when they realized he was behind them. They stopped completely, and Seth almost crashed into Alice.

"That was…" Bella started, but Alice finished the sentence for her. "Weird."

Seth put me down, but wound his arm around my waist. "It's getting late." He said. I hadn't realized it before, but it was getting late. The sun had almost started to set, and the rumble of thunder filled the air. "We should get home." Seth stated. "Katie need's to sleep."

I was about to protest, when he promptly picked me up again, and walked away from the vampires.

"We'll see you tomorrow." He called to them.

"But…it's Tuesday…don't I have school tomorrow?" I asked.

"We" he emphasized "skipped school today, so we can skip tomorrow as well. We'll tell them you're still recovering."

He ran through the forest as the rain began to fall. The sun had set, and I would have been cold, if there wasn't an abnormally warm werewolf carrying me against his chest. He slowed to a walk as we reached the edge of the tree line, and my house was a dark shape looming in the rain.

He held me easily with arm, and opened the door with the other. He carried me up the stairs, and was about to enter my room when we heard a light cough behind us.

"Ehm."

He turned, to see my mom standing in the hallway looking at us with deep disapproval in her eyes. We were both soaking wet, Seth wasn't wearing a shirt, and he was carrying me down the hallway and into my room.

"Hi Mrs. Chase." Seth said boldly.

She narrowed her eyes at him. "Hmph. Do you realize that you've just trekked through my living room with muddy shoes?"

"Ummm… sorry?"

My mom shook her head. "You better be. Get downstairs and clean it up. Unless she's been hopelessly crippled, Katie can get to her bed on her own."

"Yes mam."

Seth put me down and went downstairs, too nervous to kiss me goodnight with my mom standing right there.

"And for God's sake boy, take off your shoes!" she shouted down the stairs.

She looked at me. "As for you…"

I grimaced, expecting the worst.

"I still don't know how you got one like him." She sighed. "Your dog went missing as well. What was his name again?"

"He's called Dog. And he comes and goes. I suppose we're not the only ones who feed him."

She looked at me suspiciously. "Katie…"

"…Yes…"

"About your friend…" she started. "I know he's cute and all…" well that was just about the understatement of the year. "But he looks awfully strong, and you just tell me if he tries to do something to you, okay?"

"Mom!" I moaned. "He would never…"

"I know, I know," she cut me off. "But if he ever does, just say and you can use my taser. I need another one anyway."

I looked at her skeptically.

"He seems rather taken with you." I thought about what Seth had told me about imprinting.

"That he does." I smiled, as I went into my room, and got ready for a shower.

When I got out of the shower, I could hear my mom talking to Seth downstairs, but I couldn't quite hear what they were saying. I slipped into a pair of shorts and a tank top, and opened my bedroom door as quietly as I could. I tiptoed out and made my way to the top of the stairs. I could hear what they were saying clearly now.

"This one is really old, I didn't think I still had it."

What were they talking about?

I heard Seth's deep chuckle, and I started to move down the stairs.

"She looks so adorable!"

"I know." My mom replied. "I haven't looked at these in a long time."

"I like this one" Seth's voice was full of laughter.

My mom laughed. "I have an extra copy of it. You can keep it."

"Really? Thanks Mrs. Chase!"

I was at the bottom of the stairs now, and I could see their shadows moving along the wall. I heard, and saw, my mom stand up, and I pushed myself against the wall so she wouldn't see me.

"Well, it's been nice having you here Seth."

"Thanks again Mrs. Chase. I'll see myself out."

I heard a door shut, and sat on one of the stairs. What had mom given him?

"Didn't you know that it's rude to eavesdrop?"

I looked up to see Seth standing above me. "I… I wasn't eavesdropping." I tried to sound convincing.

"Sure you weren't." he said sarcastically. "Let's go up before your mom realizes I'm still here and kicks me out."

"What were you guys talking about?" I asked as we walked up the stairs.

He looked at me critically. "You're not a very good eavesdropper, are you?"

I glared at him.

"Okay, okay!" he looked at me in mock horror. "Anything but the death glare!"

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Your mom gave me this." He pulled something out of the pocket of his jeans. Or my dad's old jeans. However you wanted to look at it. He showed it to me. It was a picture of me, when I was about 10. The first time I had ever surfed. Well, properly anyway. The sun was shining, and the sea was bright blue. I was on my dad's old surfboard, which was now somewhere up in the attic. I was looking at the camera, smiling, without a care in the world. My black hair was short back then.

The picture reminded me of the room in André's house. I shuddered, and Seth put his arm around my shoulders.

That night, I dreamed.

It was dark. I was stumbling through somewhere. I couldn't see anything. I put my hands in front of my eyes, but I couldn't see them. I could hear things following me, footsteps, and I could see eyes glowing from the darkness. I turned, to see who was following me, but the darkness was too complete. I started running. I didn't know where I was going, but it didn't matter anymore. I just had to get away. "Katie…" a ghostly voice called. I didn't look back, I tried to run faster, but I couldn't move. "Katie…" the voice was floated around me, and it was creeping me out. It seemed like it was right behind me. I whipped my head around, and came face to face with two malicious, purple eyes.

"Katie!" a voice called, but it was different from the voice in my dream. This voice was warm, and deep. I opened my eyes, and saw Seth looking at me worriedly.

"Seth." I smiled. Seth was here, it would be okay. The purple eyed thing couldn't get me now.

I fell into an exhausted, dreamless sleep. A feeling of warmth and security drifting over me.

When I woke, I was not in my own bed. It was dark, and I was laying on a cold, dirt floor. There was a putrid smell coming from somewhere, and the sound of flies buzzing.

I looked around.

I screamed.

In the darkness in front of me, there was the faint outline of a face.

A face, with two purple eyes.

Since this fic is almost finished (awwwww) I've been thinking about doing another one. Maybe you guys remember me saying something about Scottish werewolves.. well, If I did write it, I was just wondering how many of you would read it. Because it wouldn't have any of the actual twilight characters, (unless anyone has an idea about that..) and people prefer stories with the characters than an OC story.

So if you would read it, LET ME KNOW, and if enough people want to, then I'll write it.
