This is chapter 2. Yes I know it is shorter than chapter 1 but I wanted to stop the chapter at a certian point.
Chapter 2: We Can Work It Out
Seth POV
I couldn't believe that my Courtney had her arm around another guy. The guy was about the same size as Jake, but I was sure I could take him. He reminded me of Jude. Of course Courtney sat by me. I guess she wanted to be nice, since I am the new kid.
"Hey, you are Seth right?"
"Yeah, this is one of my sisters, Renesmee." I saw her look at both of us. "We are adopted. All of my siblings are, except Jacob he is my biological brother."
"You have more siblings?"
"Yeah, I have eight."
"Wow I only have one brother, and I think that is enough. Oh, this is Gavin." She pointed to the guy she walked in with.
He looked at me. I could see his features better now. His hair was a deep brown, almost black but not as dark as Courtney's. "Hey Courtney tells me you are the new kid."
Wow he is a bright one. I just smiled and nodded as I replied, "Yeah, today is my first day."
"How do you like Michigan?"
"Good, I met a guy last period, Jude, he warned me about Mr. Henn's class."
"You met Jude? He is one of my best friends."
"Oh, cool." I think I would actually like him, if he wasn't with my soul mate. Mr. Henn started class right after that. The class was reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I have read it before. It sounds like they are close to the end. Mr. Henn was asking our opinion of Hester. Like Jude said Mr. Henn called on me when I didn't raise my hand.
"You there, who are you?"
"I am Seth." I am glad I just told him my name ten minutes ago, and he already forgot.
"Well, Seth, what do you think of Hester? You did read the assigned chapters, right?"
"Yes, I read them. I think Hester is in a complicated place. First, there is Dimsdale who fathered Pearl. I can tell that Hester really loves him. But Chillingworth had to appear into the picture. Second, Hester is committed to Chillingworth. But she doesn't love him. She loves Dimsdale. Lastly, Dimsdale loves Hester more than Chillingworh ever can. Hester is the lonely adulteress that is caught in the middle of it all."
"Very good." That's all he said after my anaylsis. I zoned out after that. I thought about how this book is like my situation. I looked over at Courtney. I wondered if she will ever know how much I love her.
The dreaded first day is finally over. I found my love, and lost her all in the same day. No, I didn't loose her. There is just an obstacle I never would have foreseen. I still have to tell her. I am going to tell her.
We got home and Nessie wanted to go hunt. Jake and I went with her. We still need to phase regularly to keep our youth. Courtney was still on my mind when we phased.
SETH!
What Jake?
I have been trying to get you attention for five minutes. Who is the girl?
She is my soul mate.
You imprinted. Good for you!
No, not good. Then I thought of English and her walking in with Gavin.
Don't worry, who could resist you? Jake asked me.
I can. A female voice was now in my mind.
Leah! Why are you here? I haven't seen you in what, six years?
I got bored, being away from home. I went back and you weren't there so I came to find you. With out a pack it gets lonely. Even if my pack now follows a herd of leaches.
I hate to break the reunion, but do you smell that?
As soon as Jake brought that up I smelled it. It smelled like a predator. But it also had a dash of human.
I turned around after hearing a growl. I saw Jake nudging Nessie towards the direction of the house. He wanted her to go home before we went after the sent.
"Jake I can handle whatever it is." Nessie almost screamed at Jake.
He shook his head and whimpered. I could tell Nessie knew Jake was telling her that he would feel bad if anything happened to her. Nessie reluctantly left.
Okay, let's go after it. I know it's not a normal animal. Be prepared for anything. Jake thought.
Yes sir alpha sir. Leah of course.
And quit being a smart ass! I think Jake is getting as annoyed as I am with Leah.
I followed behind Jake with Leah following me. I thought I have smelled this before, but I couldn't remember what it was. The sent started to get stronger. I still couldn't tell what the sent was, what it reminded me of. The trees started to thin. Before we knew it the sent led us into a small clearing. We stayed hidden but we could see six wolves. They were no ordinary wolves. They were werewolves. They looked like us, except for some small features. I guess La Push isn't the only place werewolves are at. I never would have thought there were more wolves.
Jake broke my train of thoughts. Do you see that, more wolves. We need to go tell Carlisle. Let's get out of here before we are caught.
Just as we turned to leave, I saw it. Or rather I saw them, bright blue eyes as deep as the sea. They looked like Courtney's. I shook the thought of her from my mind. I didn't want my nosey sister to see. Although she probably already has.
As I was running behind Leah and Jake I smelled another weird sent. What is with all of these scents? I focused my mind on the ground and the trees. I didn't want to draw any attention to me leaving. I wanted to phase back so bad. I wanted Leah out of my head. I could deal with Jake, but Leah is too much. Since I didn't have clothes, and I didn't know what I was going to find, I didn't phase.
I ran about twenty miles, give or take a few hundred feet, when I came across another clearing. In the clearing was a little boy of about five. I was interested in this little boy. Why is he here? Why is he here alone? Who is he? I was so preoccupied with the boy I miss calculated a step. I stepped on a large twig. I didn't think it made that loud of a noise. But as soon as I stepped on the twig the little boy jumped. In mid air the boy turned into a wolf. He must be with the other wolves. But phasing at six? I took a few steps forward until I heard a growl.
"Get away from him."
I turned around to find the angered protective mother.
Oh NO! A cliffie! Well chapter three should be up soon. I am really liking this story, and will probably focus on writing this one more than my others.
