Thanks for the reviews! But I'd love more! Please!
Again, I own nothing apart from my own characters, the rest is Stephanie Meyer's work.
Chapter 5-
Seth smiled at me, I smiled back. I couldn't remember the last time I'd felt like this, I was so happy! It was like, in just a few seconds, I'd found the reason for my existence. I'd found everything. I couldn't think of anything other than him-Seth. Already I loved him, he was my whole world, and we hadn't even spoken to each other yet.
I noticed that Embry was talking in a low whisper to Leah, and that Sam and Emily were nodding and moving away. Embry and Leah followed them back to the bonfire. The atmosphere by the fire was now back to how it should be, how it always had been before. They were giving us space. I turned back to look at Seth again, he was still looking at me.
'Hi,' I said. My voice sounded a lot more confident than I felt, I was grateful for that.
'Hi,' Seth replied. He sounded a lot more nervous than me. I smiled at him in encouragement.
'Erm…shall we walk?' I asked him. He nodded and smiled back. I turned and began to walk past the bonfire towards the sea so we could walk along the beach.
'So, you're Jake's kid then?' he asked.
I nodded and smiled, 'Yeah, he's a great guy. He misses you, talks about you all the time.'
Seth seemed a little surprised by this but said nothing of it.
'They're not here.' He said. 'And Jake hasn't phased in weeks.'
It wasn't a question but I knew he wanted an explanation. 'Yes,' I said, 'they've gone on a second honeymoon. They're visiting Nahuel and Huilen in South America. They're going to be gone for 4 months.' A part of what Seth had said registered in my mind then. 'Wait, what? He hasn't phased in weeks? Why? Do you think something is wrong? Oh God what if he got hurt!'
'Sarella, honey, I'm sure he's fine. He's probably just having loads of fun out there, probably eating human food, you know, not hunting. Him and Ness can both do that and seeing as Huilen and Nahuel aren't 'vegetarians' they might find it easier to not hunt whilst they're out there.'
I knew he was probably right, but I couldn't help worrying about them. I smiled when I felt Seth take my hand and squeeze it gently.
'Yeah…I'm sure you're right. Hey how about we go sit over there?' I pointed at a pile of drift wood about a hundred yards away.
'I'll race you!' Seth yelled and set off running towards the log.
'No fair!' I yelled as I through myself onto the beach by the log, panting. He laughed. 'Hey!' I said, 'you're a wolf! You're supposed to run fast. I'm just stuck being a stupid, slow human.' I pouted like Alice does when she doesn't get her way.
Seth just laughed at me and grabbed my shoulders, pulling me backwards so I was sitting between his legs resting my back on the tree. He took my hand again and began tracing little circles on the back with his thumb. It felt nice, I smiled and leaned back against the log, closing my eyes.
We sat like that for quite a while, just sitting together, enjoying each other's company. We talked some more. He questioned me about everything; my favourite books, favourite films, hobbies, favourite food, my childhood, my family (even though he already knew them), and then he let me question him on the same things.
Of course it was inevitable that our perfect, peaceful paradise could not last. Embry and the other wolves and imprints had soon finished with the bonfire and moved down to the beach themselves. It was a beautiful night, the sky was clear and the moon was shining on the water. And it was warm, so of course the Quileute boys were heading straight for the water to swim. I noticed that most of the girls were swimming too. I couldn't see Claire or Phoebe but the rest were there.
I stood up and took Seth's hand leading him back to the bonfire where I'd left my bag. I spotted Phoebe and Claire over by Quil's van and told Seth I was going to go change. He smiled and told me he would wait there for me. I hurried over to the van to change in it.
Phoebe and Claire waited for me, all the time asking thousands of questions about Seth. Claire was too young to remember him properly and Phoebe, who was only a few years younger than Claire, hadn't been on the reservation then. I answered all their questions the best I could, but I changed quickly so I could escape them and get back to my wolf.
Seth grinned and ran over to me when I left the van and headed back towards the fire with the girls. His bare chest was perfect and his scruffy hair made him look seriously hot.
'Wow Sari, you look amazing.' He said, putting his arm around my waist and pulling me close. I thanked him, smiled and we headed towards the water.
Swimming was great fun! It was really just the guys messing around, chasing the girls and everybody splashing each other. The boys did a few races along the beach whilst us girls just laughed and mocked them for the childish antics. After a while people started to drift away. Some went home, some wandered along the beach, some went back to the bonfire and a few went to the shop in the village to see if they could buy some more food.
I found Seth again then. We stayed in the water for a bit. He wrapped his arms around me to keep me warm as the night was now cooling a bit. We just stood in the water looking up at stars for a while.
'I'm so glad I found you Seth.' I said, turning in his arms to look at him. 'Really I am. I've had so much fun tonight.'
'I'm glad I met you too Sari,' he smiled. 'You know, I honestly don't think I've ever seen someone so beautiful, don't think I've met someone so kind hearted and lovely. I'm going to really enjoy getting to know you better.'
'My Seth,' I breathed as he pulled me closer into a huge hug.
I smiled at him. The moment was perfect; the moon made the water around us glisten the most beautiful silver, it was warm with him there, and I'm pretty sure our smiles were lighting up the whole world.
Hope you enjoyed! There will be a lot more Seth and Sarella in future chapters, and a lot of
drama coming soon.
