Seth's POV

I paced back and forth in my small room. The bigger I got, the smaller my room seemed to get. I finally plopped back on my bed and held my head in my hands. How was I going to tell Gloria about being a shape-shifter? If I told her that, I would have to tell her about the vampires. If I told her about the vampires, I would have to tell her about what actually happened to her sister. I was totally screwed, this was one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't situations. If I told her the truth, she would be freaked out. If I didn't tell her the truth, she was bound to find out sooner or later. A knock on my door interrupted my argument with myself.

"Seth," I could hear Leah's voice on the other side of the door. She cracked the door open and peeped her head inside.

"Hey Lee, come in." I opened the door for her and moved aside to let her in.

"What's up?" Leah sat down on my bed. " Is it safe for me to sit on your bed?" Leah asked.

"Yes, it's safe." I laughed. "What are you doing over here?"

"I was dropping the twins off. They wanted to see their grandmother, so I thought I would bring them over. I'm surprised you're not with Gloria."

"I was actually headed over there, but I have some things to do before I head her way," I replied picking at a hang nail.

" Mmmmmhhhmm."

I glanced at Leah and back at my nail.

"What's going on Seth. You can tell me," Leah asked ruffling my already ruffled hair.

"Nothing. What makes you think something is going on," I asked, still not looking at Leah.

"Number one, you're picking at your nail. You always do that when something is bugging you. Second, you're not looking me in the eye. You always look me in the eye when you talk to me. Something's wrong," Leah pressed. Leah knew me like a book. I could never lie to her and get away with it. She was one of the only people, besides our mother that could pick up on everything about me.

"It's about Gloria," I stated.

"What about her? Did she hurt you? Do I need to whoop someone's ass," Leah asked.

I chuckled. "No you don't need to whoop anyone's ass sis. I'm having a hard time with a decision I have to make soon. I really like Gloria, like really really like her-"

"You love her Seth. Just say you love her," Leah laughed.

"Well, I love her. I feel like I'm hiding things from her and that's not fair. I can't go on forever and not tell her what I am. Sooner or later she will hear the legends or find out about what we really are. I don't want to scare her off, but I don't want to hide anything from her either. I'm between a rock and a hard place," I explained hanging my head.

"Look Seth, you love Gloria, right?" I nodded. "And you know for a fact that she loves you right?" I nodded again. "I know you don't want to scare her off, but it's better scaring her off because of your history, then pushing her away because you are hiding things from her."

"It's not that easy to come out with it Leah. What am I supposed to say? 'Hey babe I can turn into a wolf, wanna see?' I don't think she will be too thrilled about this," I said.

"I didn't say it would be easy. I've never been in this kind of situation so I couldn't tell you how easy or hard it's going to be. But I do know I couldn't hide something like this from Jacob if he didn't share the same secret as me. If she runs, then you know it's not meant to be. If she runs but then comes back, it's meant to be. Just remember that," Leah said patting my back. " I better head back home, I'm helping Jacob build this wrap around porch. You know he's always starting on a new project."

"That's Jacob for ya. Thanks for the pep talk Lee."

"No problem, little bro. Call me if you need anything else," Leah winked and disappeared into the hallway. I was left alone with my problems.

Leah POV

While Seth was pondering over his problems, I had my own to worry about. Jacob and I had brought up the subject of marriage again last night. Well it was more me than him this time around. He didn't say he was angry at me or anything, but I could feel the tension. I had struck a nerve once again and now he would be in one of his moods for the next few days. This was one thing I hated about Jacob. Hates a strong word, but I really did strongly dislike his moodiness. I was moody myself and our moodiness did not mix.

Jacob always said he was willing to wait for me to make my decision on when I was going to marry him. I knew he could only be patient for so long before he began to get angry about it again. I was still trying to prepare myself for something as big as marriage. I had witnessed an ugly divorce between one of my cousins and his wife. I didn't want to experience that. So it was easier just to avoid something like marriage. A piece of paper did not define what we were, of course I couldn't get Jacob to see that.

I turned the radio up to drown out my thoughts. I needed to focus on how I could get Jacob out of his funk. We would get to spend some time together while building the wrap around porch, but that wasn't enough. I pulled into the drive-way. Jacob was gathering 2x4s and putting them into a stack.

"Hey," Jacob said bluntly.

I smiled weakly as I shut the car door. "Starting without me?"

" I didn't know when you were going to get back, I didn't want to wait all day. I plan to have this done in at least three weeks if the weather holds up," Jacob replied wiping sweat from his brow.

"What can I do to help," I asked rolling my sleeves up.

"I just need help gathering the rest of the boards. I can do everything else, don't want you breaking a nail or anything," Jacob said.

I sucked my teeth. "You know I don't give a shit about breaking a nail Jake. What else can I do," I asked.

" Just gather the boards for now. We'll see how far we get with that," Jacob said smacking my rear end. He was trying to play around the fact that he wasn't too happy with me at the moment. Just like Seth, Jacob was horrible at hiding his emotions. When something was bothering him, you could see it.

I just shook my head and began gathering boards.

Zafrina's POV

I felt Tony's warm arms snake around my waist. I let out a deep breath and caressed his hands.

"What are you thinking about," Tony asked kissing down my collar bone.

"Oh nothing. I'm just trying to focus on our attack. It's almost time. The boy is big enough and experienced enough to join you. I don't think you have much teaching to do at all. You just have to make him evil. Those Cullens have brainwashed him to be a good little boy, which I know you don't want," I said turning to face Tony. "We're going to have so much fun Tony. We can raise him like he's our own. I always wanted kids."

"Now is your chance. We need to attack very soon, I'm getting restless."

If I had blood in my body, it would be boiling right now. I hated being rushed to do something, especially when I was the one in charge.

"You're not rushing me are you," I asked Tony.

Tony laughed. "Come on Zafrina it's been five years. It does not take that long to attack someone. I think you're holding out for a different reason," Tony traced my jaw line.

I grimaced. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you Tony. You're crossing the line with me."

"Oh is Zafrina threatening me? You think you're tough now since you have the Cullens on your side," Tony whispered into my ear.

My eyes bulged. "What are you talking about?"

"You think I'm stupid huh? I know that you're siding with them against me. I've been listening to your phone conversations with them. Remember, I have enhanced hearing," Tony said through clenched teeth.

"You motherfucker," I replied.

"No you're the motherfucker Zafrina. You thought you could just kill me off and go on with your perfect little life. Wrong! I'm not dumb like you thought I was. I've been knowing your plan for a while, but I gave you a chance to change your mind. I thought maybe one of these days you would find your damn mind and get it together. But no, you went against me anyway," Tony grabbed my neck.

"You really don't know my strength you mutt. This is a bad mistake," I pushed Tony's hands off my neck. Tony's body shook and he phased into wolf form. "Ha! You think you can beat me in wolf form?"

Tony growled at my revealing his sharp teeth. He crouched close to the ground, preparing to lunge at me. We lunged at each other at the same time, knocking ourselves down the cliffs. I held Tony's head in my arms and attempted to bite down into his flesh. He tossed me off of him and into a rock. The rock crumbled under my weight and turned into tiny dust particles. I lunged at Tony again, but felt something holding me back. I turned my head to see four other wolves pulling at my arms. I used all my strength to get away from them but they were fast. Almost as fast as me. Their strength and speed reminded me of the La Push pack. I pulled and pulled and I could feel my arms popping.

"No!" I yelled before everything went black.

Leah's POV

I wiped sweat from my brow and moved the last two boards to their designated piles.

"I'm done Jake. Now what," I said taking a sip from my water bottle.

"Rest, I don't want you overworking yourself," Jacob called out. He was tearing the old porch a part.

"I think you forget I'm not pregnant anymore," I replied walking over to Jacob.

Jacob smiled and continued to pull nails from the wood.

"Take a break," I said handing him a bottle of water.

Jacob patted the ground next to him. I sat next to him and crossed my legs. Jacob leaned over and pecked my lips.

"What was that for," I asked.

Jacob shrugged his shoulders and gulped his water down. Jacob's cell phone buzzed in his pocket.

"I'll get it," I reached in his pocket for his phone.

"Hello."

"Hey Leah, we have a situation," Edward said.

"Ugh, what now. Did Nessie run away or something," I asked rolling my eyes.

"We haven't heard from Zafrina today, we think something's wrong. Alice can't see her because she is around Tony."

"Soooooo what do think happened to her? Maybe she doesn't have any new information today," I replied.

"She would have called by now Leah. Zafrina has been keeping us posted, regardless of whether there was new information or not. Something has happened," Edward stated firmly.

"What do you want us to do leech? You aren't being very clear."

"Make sure you keep your area guarded and we will be on the look out too. I have a feeling something is about to happen and I don't want to be caught off guard. Alice can't see if Tony is planning anything out, you know that."

"You don't have to get smart with me. I think we know what we're doing over here. You do your job and we will do ours. Keep us posted," I replied before clicking the end button.

"Wow, it never stops does it?" Jacob shook his head.

"I know right," I sighed.

Well that was a terribly long wait and I'm sure I have lost all my readers by now. I kind of lost my wirter's touch and inspiration so I left my stories alone for a bit. Hopefully I still have some reader's left on here because I want to start posting regularly again. I am also over on the Jacob Black n' Pack site, so you can see story postings of mine there too. (My username is the same over there)

If you are a new reader, welcome! I will try to update Blurred Instincts really soon. I am actually working on the chapter now so it may be posted sooner than you think. Hope to get some reviews and feedback on this chapter. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

Oh and did ya'll see the Breaking Dawn trailer? It's getting close to that time! Can't wait!
