Kanti P.O.V:
Today was the most interesting day I've had in along time. Actually, it was the most interesting days ever. Has someone ever told you something so ridiculous that you automatically don't believe it, but you want to? Yet, somehow, it makes so much sense?
That is why, when I arrived in La Push that afternoon, I started hanging out with Seth again. After Seth started staring at me in that cute way, everything seemed different. He was still Seth, and I was still myself. But the way he acted … it was – I don't even know how to describe it. Well, that is until they told me a secret – a secret I will have to take to my grave …

Earlier that day:
After five minutes of everyone not moving, and Seth looking like a lovesick puppy, I said, "okay, this is getting awkward … I'm going over here." I pointed to the girls on the porch.
"OK," he said with a smile, and I started walking over to them, with Seth's eyes following me. Which made me very uncomfortable. When I got a good look at my 'big sister', Emily, I realised, was huge.
'What happened to you?' I asked, as I pulled her into a hug. She rubbed her swollen belly, smiled, and replied, "I'm pregnant!" She laughed, and so did I.
"That's great, Emily! Congrats!"
By then, all the girls had 'unfrozen', but the boys were still, staring at me, and giving me the creeps. To help unfreeze the guys, I ran over, and hugged Jake.
"Hey, Loca!" he said, coming out of his weird trance.
"Jake, be a gentleman, and introduce me to your girl over here," I ordered.
"Oh, right … 'kay!" He pulled me over to the brown, curly-haired beauty. "Kanti, this is Renesmee; Renesmee, Kanti," he said quickly.
"Call me Nessie," she smiled, and her teeth were so shiny and white I was almost blinded. I gave her a big smile, and a big hug.
I could tell Jake really liked this girl, by the way he moved around her - it was amazing. We all were laughing, and Jake bent down and kissed Nessie.
Now it was time to unfreeze the rest of the guys. But I couldn't see them - it was like they just disappeared. Emily brought us into the house and we all sat in the living room. Emily was in the kitchen making some food. We talked and laughed and I wondered where the boys were. After a while, I snuck into the kitchen.
"Hey Emily, need some help?" I asked.
"That would be nice, Loca," she said with a smile. I'm not sure why, but ever since Seth called me 'Loca' when we were little, it's been my permanent nickname.
After helping out a little making muffins, I said, "where did the guys go?" I asked this without looking at her, just stirring away at the batter.
"They went to go talk in to woods," she said matter-of-factly.
"Oh…" I muttered, "what about?" Her breath caught, and she didn't answer. I decided to change the subject, because I didn't want to pry. "How much food do you normally make for these guys?"
"Hah!" she laughed, "more than you will ever know!" We both laughed, and finished off the pancakes – yum! We called everyone to the table, setting the food down, and like magic, Seth, along with the other guys showed up like they were drawn to the food or something.
"So, you guys just upped and left on me, huh?" I asked in a joking voice, as I didn't want to hurt his feelings.'
"Sooooooo sorry!" he said, giving me a hug so tight I could barely breathe!
"Ah….Seth… can't…breathe..." I said in a barely audible voice.
"Oh, right!" he laughed and let me go. "Hey … um … can we go outside and talk?" he asked, looking into my eyes with somewhat the same expression as when I first saw him today: crazy. (Hah! Just kidding!) I giggled at my mind joke, as I do many times and we walked out side.
"So…" he said.
I laughed and said, "Don't 'so' me boy! You're the one who wanted to come outside!" I smiled as I joked with him.
"Well…" he sighed, "I do have something to tell you - I'm just afraid of what you'll say…"
"Oh my gosh!" I said, trying not to laugh. "You're gay, right? Am I right?" I said giggling. He laughed and replied, "hah! No! This is serious, Loca!" I noticed he was blushing – that is just too cute!
"All right," I said, finally calming down, "what do you want to tell me?"
"Okay … there is no easy way to say this, so I'll come right out with it." But just before he said it, he grabbed my hand, holding it in his. "Promise you won't get mad? Or won't believe me?"
I sighed. I loved the feel of his hand on mine … it felt so … so right. I noticed, though, that his skin was warmer than that of a normal person, and I wondered about that. I looked into his eyes, thinking that I couldn't make a promise like that. But when I met his light brown eyes, the world disappeared and I couldn't believe what was coming out of my mouth.
"Okay… I promise," I muttered. He had my undivided attention. He had better tell me now, before I went into a giggly mood again.
"You know how those old stories of how Quileute's are supposedly descended from wolves? Well … it's true. All the old stories of the third wife, and the husband turning it a wolf? That's all true."
"So…" I said.
"I, along with all the other guys, are all wolves to."
"Okay…" I muttered, "and the vampires are real too?"
"Yes. Very real and very dangerous."
"That's interesting…" I said. Why am I not thinking that this is crazy? That he is insane, and should go to an asylum?
"I believe you," I said not even knowing why I said it - why was I believing this bucket load of crap? "But I would believe you better if you showed me."
"No. Not today!" He said loudly, almost yelling at me. I cringed back.
"Seth. Don't you dare talk to me like that. A simple 'no' is fine enough," I said sternly.
"Yes ma'am," he muttered, looking at his feet.
"Hey, I'm sorry. What do you say about getting out of here? Let's go to the beach!" I said, smiling
He automatically brightened up. "That sounds great!" he said excitedly.
And right then and there, I knew that there was something more for us. I didn't understand how or… or why. But I know it's true, and I know that Seth and I had a long future ahead of us. I just didn't know how long.
