Sorry, I haven't updated in so long; I have reasons why on my profile.

I need some constructive criticism to improve my story!

The attack had left me scarred and not just figuratively, the angry red marks that marred my skin stood out, no matter what I wore.

I would be pitied… by everyone.

By early afternoon I was laying on the cliff, just off of the path – my toes dug into the grass, my head resting on my bag and jumper. Closing my eyes I smiled as the sun warmed my skin and burned bright even behind my eye lids and I could hear the sea below.

The weather was nice, so everyone was taking advantage and with hikers all over the forest any wolves that had to be on patrol were on high alert.

As someone sat down beside me, I opened my eyes to meet Leah gaze.

'How did you do it?' I asked, not moving from my place on the floor.

'What do you mean?'

'Well, when you lost Sam? How did you deal with it?'

Leah snorted, Embry it was easier to talk to her about her time with Sam now that she had Corey.

'I didn't deal with it. I was a bitch. A real bitch, I was horrible and cruel and I just wanted to make him see how much he had hurt me.' She sighed, as if it were nothing.

'Oh-' I whispered, sitting up.

'They'll find him y'know.' She said, searching my face.

'What?'

'They will find Seth, he isn't gone. I'm his sister I can feel it.'

I nodded, 'I know what you mean, even though it has been so long, I still feel like there is something there. The imprint link hasn't been broken, it hurts but it is not broken.'

Silence fell around us, and we sat like that for several minutes but a sharp howl broke through the moment, Leah jumped up giving me a quick hug before disappearing into the trees behind me.

I went to settle back down when a rustle of leaves disturbed me, looking behind I jumped as Leah wolf form stood amongst the trees signalling me to jump on her back.

'Uhh-Leah I don't know if I should I-' before I could continue she jumped forward slightly, showing urgency. Wrapping the jumping around my waist and throwing my bag over my back I leapt on careful not to dislodge her dress that was tied against her leg with a leather strap.

As the trees flew past us I kept a strong hold on her soft fur, I was used to riding on the wolves backs. It was some what of a past time that Kim and I shared, although Jake had told us Nessie was fond of it as well.

It was easier to keep a tight grip of Leah's fur; her hair was longer, falling just around her neck. This meant her coat had a relaxed unkempt look about it, unlike Embry or Paul whose short buzz cut kept their fur annoyingly short.

As we broke into a clearing, a meadow it was between Forks and La Push. Edward told me how this meadow had played as a battle field in serious times past.

Sliding off her back, I was greeted by several oversized wolves running towards us.

As one of them – Embry - was running he phased back, and then died of embarrassment. I covered my eyes, whilst Paul was wetting him self laughing,

'You can look now' wheezed Leah, who had returned from phasing in the cover of the trees.

When I lowered my hands Embry was staring at the ground, bright red. Whilst two wolves were rolling around on the floor behind him, barking loud laughs, Paul and Sam were stood beside him shaking their heads.

My giggles soon subsided when Sam coughed and took a step toward me. His face sombre.

'What?' I asked, keeping my eyes trained on Sam face, behind him I could see Paul and Embry talking in hushed whispers.

'Embry heard from Seth,' he said, holding his hand up to stop me from interrupting, 'when he was out patrolling there was a sudden burst of thoughts from Seth, then nothing.'

Both Liah and I, had our hands to our mouths, one of the wolves disappeared then my brother re-appeared running over to Leah and wrapping his arms around her.

'What does this mean?'

'It means he's still here, he's hiding his thoughts from us.' Embry spoke up, his eyes smiling - though something else was hidden within the deep brown orbs.

My bottom lip began to quiver and I clasped my hands, pressing them to my forehead.

'Bloody hell.' I whispered, as tears of joy tried leap down my cheeks. I took a couple of steps forward before running and jumping at Paul and Embry who both joined me in the hug.

'Colin is going to be on the look out for his thoughts; if we can make a connection with him we can convince him to come home. All of the pack have been instructed to keep you on their minds - which shouldn't be difficult for some.' Sam said, but I don't think he meant for me to hear the last part. Turning to Sam and hugged him tight,

'Thank you, thank you, thank you!' I cried - I hadn't felt this elated in so long.

Leah pulled away from my brother to run and hug me.

'We're gonna get him back Lora, promise.' she smiled, looking more relaxed than I had seen her in a while.

When we finally went our separate ways I was accompanied by a human Embry and Paul as well as Colin who was still in wolf form. I was still in shock, but I was excited - it wasn't much but the fact that Seth was still existing, living was more than enough to make my day. The three of us left Colin in the woods and detoured to the beach where we met up with Rebecca who coaxed Paul off to do who knows what. Embry and I reclined on the sand, my eyes fell shut as the rays of sunlight danced over my face. Taking a deep breath in, I felt Embry shift next to me, opening my eyes I jumped as I found him staring down at me.

'Em - thats a bit creepy.' I laughed, he just smiled sadly at me.

Strange.

Alright then- there we go. :}
