Seth

Embry caught Seth up to speed as they raced to the clearing where Sam was waiting with the rest of the pack. Apparently, Quil had caught sight of another wolf as he'd been running the perimeter. An image of a beautiful, pure white wolf with large brown doe eyes appeared in his mind. The wolf was a stranger- none of them had ever seen it around before. They were certain it was a werewolf, it was far too large to be just a normal wolf. Seth puzzled over who it could be as any new member would have become known immediately. None of the Quileute boys had shown symptoms of phasing. It must be an outsider… but who?

They reached the clearing to find the pack gathered round Sam as he paced on a rock above them.

'We need to find out who this person is as soon as possible. He could be a threat to our treaty with the Cullens.' Sam's voice boomed in his head.

'If he attacks any of the vampires it'll be full out war between them and us.' Seth thought, anxiously.

'Does it matter? In a few weeks it'll all blow up anyway, once Bella's been turned.' Paul growled

'You don't know that, they were going to leave.'

'It doesn't matter, they're still breaking the treaty, wherever they do it. We should attack now, before they have a chance to turn her.' Embry thought.

They broke out into an argument, each wolf arguing, trying to think over each other.

'Enough!' With a growl, Sam's voice boomed out above them all.

The wolves knelt to their knees as his power as an alpha forced them to bow in front of him.

'We are not going to break the treaty. If there is to be a breach, they will be the ones to make it. In the mean time we must find that wolf! Leah, Seth check out all new arrivals in La Push and Forks. Paul, Embry I want you to run out further, past our boundaries and check out that territory. Quil, you and I will check out the area inside our boundaries. He must be found. Go!'

Leah and Seth returned reluctantly to La Push before phasing back to human form. Seth felt disappointed. He was always given the boring jobs because he was the youngest and Sam always made Leah babysit him, increasing the tension between them. Leah always made her feelings clear and this time was no exception.

'I can't believe I'm stuck babysitting you again! I'm one of the fastest runners in the pack; after Jake. I should be running out there with them and checking the perimeters. Instead I have to do the boring job of looking around the town and looking after my baby brother.' She started yelling as soon as she'd changed back into her clothes.

'I didn't ask for this either you know! I hate the fact that Sam always gives me the most boring jobs. Anyway, I don't enjoy being saddled with you. You're always so stiff and sarcastic and you're the most dull person in the world!' Seth exploded at her. Leah didn't deign to give him any more of an answer than a cold glare.

'Well, can't do anything more than grin and bear it.' He thought, as they set off into town to make inquiries.
