Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. For reference, this story takes place a couple of years after breaking dawn. Seth is a year older than Kylee.
Something was following me. I could hear it behind me, and I knew if they caught me, I was in deep trouble. Then the blur jumped in front of me. I didn't even get a chance to stop. I ran right into a wall, a cold wall, a wall with cold hands that were wrapped around my arm, a wall with red eyes.
"Hello sweetheart. Did you really think I'd let you go?"
"No…. It can't be…you're not real."
Pure fear filled me. No, he can't be real. I couldn't move. I felt my heart beginning to race and my chest constricting. I couldn't move. All I could do was look into those red demonic eyes I prayed I'd never see again. How can someone so beautiful have such eyes?
"Not real, you say. I can smell your delicious fear, but you doubt my existence. How I love our little game."
"…"
"I love it when I smell fear. I've been looking for you my dear. Let's pick up from where we pick up and now, we won't be interrupted by that annoying guardian of yours. "
He leaned in and I felt his rough dry tongue. I felt him smelling me.
"Little pet you smell of wet dog. No matter, I'll enjoy you either way."
"What…what are…?"
"What am I? I'll give you one hint"
I pulled his face back. Allowing to see his deadly face. He smiled and I saw them. He has fangs. He has fang!
"You're a... a…"
"Vampire, Night walker, blood sucker and so on and so on. Really dear, I know you are smarter than this."
He leaned into me and I felt his hot breath on my neck. He is going to bite. He is going to kill me, just like he did mom. I can't let him. Just as I began to struggle, I heard a howl in the background. He looked up and I was able to see that we were surrounded by what looked like massive wolves. He leaned into my ear and whispered.
"It seems you have more protectors than I thought. No worries sweetheart, this just makes the price more valuable. Tell your sister, I said hi."
With that he winked, and I was in the air. I crashed into a russet brown colored wolf and fell to the ground. A sharp pain shooting up my left leg, I tried to get up but the pain wouldn't let me. I looked up and they were all gone, all but the brown wolf that crashed into. I began crawling backwards. I can't let him get me. I need to save Brylee. Then I hit the tree and I used it to stand up grabbing a rock as I stood. If I was going to be eaten alive then I'm not going down without a fight. The wolf just looked at me and the strangest thing happened. It lay down on the ground, as if trying to get smaller and looked up at me. What is it doing? Is it getting ready to pounce? What is it that they say about wolves? Was it make loud noises to scare it away…no I think that a bear? Was it was to make yourself as big as you can? No, that was a bobcat. Crap! Do they even say anything about mutant Wolves?
The wolf then rolled over to his stomach and started rolling around. What is it doing? Is it playing?
"Nice wolf. You don't want to eat me. I've quite sure I'm poisonous. You'll get a bad stomachache. "
The wolf looked at me and tilted its head. Did it understand me? The wolf then shot up and ran back into the trees. I looked down trying to find something I could use as a walking stick.
"Well then Kylee, first thing is first. Don't faint you need to get back to the house, you probably just imagine it…. yeah, that's what happened I imagine it. There are no such things as Vampires and mutant sized wolves."
I felt myself calming down. "Now how am I going to get back?"
"I can help with that" a voice said. It was that guy from before. I turned towards the voice.
"Oh…I know you. Seth…. that's your name, right? Not that it would really matter. Quite sure you are figment of my imagination. That would be the only way to explain the whole you being here thing."
"Really, that's the only reason? I could think of another reason."
"You're a figment of my imagination, you're not supposed to think but now I'm curious. Tell me"
"I could be the wolf that stopped you from crashing into tree."
"A mutant wolf at night and hot teenage boy by day…Seriously?" I felt myself getting woozy. I leaned back on the tree and began taking deep breaths.
"Yeah, wait you think I'm hot?"
"So, what you are saying" deep breath "is that you are a werewolf and that the other wolves were as well?" I took another deep breath. I felt myself beginning to shake.
"Exactly. Jacob, Embry, Paul, Brady, Jared even my sister Leah all wolves. In fact, with the exceptions of the girls, everyone you have met since getting here is a wolf. "
"Even Sam?" Took another deep breath. Are the trees getting closer or is it just me?
"Especially Sam, he and Jacob are the alphas. We protect everyone from the vampire. We have for thousands of years."
"Wow. I really need " Deep breath. I'm starting to see spots "to stop watching the Syfy channel. That's a pretty" Deep breath "interesting plot you got there going on."
"I could prove it you. I could just change into the wolf."
"Can we just go home please?" Deep breath "It's getting harder to breath and" deep breath "I'm pretty sure I'm having a minor panic attack."
With that I felt my fall to the ground, but Seth caught me before I did. How did he get here so fast? Wait, how is he holding me up? Hallucinations don't have hands. That means….
"You're real" With that everything went black.
I felt myself come in and out of consciousness. I pick up pieces of conversation. Sometimes it was arguing. Sam yelling at Seth. Seth calling me his imprint. Whatever that is. Sam stating that he would talk to me. Other times I would hear Brylee in the background yelling for me. Emily telling her that I was taking a nap. All through this feeling so warm and safe in someone's arms. Whispers in my ear about how they would protect me and how I was the most precious thing in the world. I haven't felt safe since I got here. Haven't felt warm since my mother passed. Then I was moved to what felt like my bed and feeling of safety and warmth was gone. Why is warmth gone? Where did it go?
When I finally came too, Emily and Sam were in the room. Why was she in my room? How am I in my room? Last thing I remember, fighting with Emily then the woods. That thing was there and then there were wolves. Are there even wolves in Washington? Those couldn't have been wolves. They were massive. Then there was that guy and then nothing. Seriously what happened? I think I'm slowly going crazy.
"Good morning sunshine. How are you feeling?" Emily asked. I don't know if it was the genuine concern on her face or the tone that briefly reminded me of my mother, whatever the reason, I felt the tears come. I couldn't remember the last time I truly cried. I think it was in the hospital almost a month back. Emily came to me then. Sat down on my bed and hugged me. That just made me cry harder. How can she be so nice to me? I felt my arms going around her. After what felt like forever, I let her go and began to talk.
"I'm so sorry for the way I treated you. I don't know what's going on with me. Since mom died, I just get so angry now, but you don't deserve it. I swear I'm not like this."
"It's ok."
"No. It's not, I'm not. I think there is something wrong with me. I've seen some things. I know it's not real but it's so hard to believe it. I think I need help."
"What did you see?" Sam asked. Coming closer as well. I looked up at him and spoke.
"The Badman. That's what Brylee calls him. He's the man that my mom. He after me…...after Brylee and I don't think I'm strong enough to stop" I stated as tears came down my face. "I know it's not real, but I know what I felt" I looked down then. I couldn't bare to see their disappointed looks. They'll think I'm crazy just the doctors and the nurses.
"Sam….Its time"
