Seth's POV
When I first saw her, I didn't even know what was happening. It freaked me out. She looked like a mix between Bella and Jake, with Bella's light skin and Jakes hair and eyes. She's Bella's kid, I thought. The one everyone was talking about last night during patrols.
I think Jake realized what was happening even before I did. He had this look on his face as if he was ready to kill, and it was directed at me. Oh shit, I thought.
Later I learned her name, Serena. Only Bella would choose such a strange name. But it fit her perfectly. She is a bit on the weird side. Coming all the way out here from South Carolina is just crazy, but she did it. And all on the chance that her biological dad might accept her into his family. She obviously has some guts, and I like that about her. She's not afraid to speak her mind, which could get her into some trouble around here, but it's a rare quality to find in a girl.
I knew that she and I were going to click, that's what happens with imprints. They're your forever. I didn't know until later just how forever would work out for us, but somehow, we ended up together.
_back to Serena's POV_
The first night I spent with my dad, was great. It was quiet at first, but when I saw my room, painted and bedding and all, I practically tackled him to the ground. The dark purple walls, with the black skull and music sign bedding, the desk with a laptop and a music system off in the corner next to the closet with a sheer black and purple shower curtain type thing was just amazing. I never imagined this would happen, but it did.
When I went to bed, though, the nightmare came. The sounds were identical to what had happened that night, the fear and the pain were all identical to what I felt. Hearing the blood curtailing screaming, but seeing nothing, only blackness was terrifying. I woke up to Seth holding me as I cried. His warm embrace and soothing words calming me down almost instantly. When my break down was over, I pulled away. Looking in his eyes, I saw worry, and questions.
"Serena," he said the worry in his words mirroring the worry in his eyes. I shook my head, not wanting to explain now. I don't think I wanted to ever explain to anyone. He sighed and held me close for a second longer before letting me go. He began to get up and walk away, but I held onto his arm, strong and muscular wilted in my slight touch.
"Don't go, please," I said, begging him almost. He sank back down onto the bed, his back facing me. "Seth, are you okay? What's wrong?" I asked him.
"Nothing, just thinking." He said, turning back to face me.
"About what?"
"Just…stuff."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Like I said, just stuff."
Yawn "Fine," I said as I laid my head back down and closed my eyes, sleep finally coming back to me at full force.
When I woke up the next morning, Seth was still there, his arms wrapped around me as I curled myself closer into his chest. Taking a deep breath, I got the instant scent of freshly cut grass after a spring rain, and he just smelled like home. Welcoming, comforting home. He stirred ever so slightly, and tightened his grip. I opened my eyes ever so slightly and saw before me the flawlessness of his beautifully sculpted chest. I never wanted to leave this spot.
But it ended as soon as it had started. "Good morning sleepy head," I heard him say quietly.
"I thought you were still asleep," I said looking up at him. And in that instant, I had some sort of déjà vu vision thing happen.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." He said kissing me on the forehead.
"Good morning to you to." I said looking up to kiss him on the lips. He smirked and leaned in to meet me half way. As our lips met, a fire seemed to ignite between us and our lips began a dance of sorts. When our tongues met, it was a battle for dominance.
As his hand slipped under my night shirt, I moaned as he ever so slightly grazed my breast. "You like that don't you?" he said breaking away from my lips to press his forehead to mine.
Just then two little footsteps could be heard coming down the hall way. Bursting through the door, one boy and one girl ran and jumped on the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~back to present~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I looked up at him to find we mirrored the same expressions of shock in our eyes.
"Did you…?"I asked dragging on at the end.
"Yeah…are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked me.
"What are you thinking?" I asked him back.
"Did we just see what our future is going to look like?"
"I don't know, but I think that might be exactly what just happened." I said astonished at what just happened.
"Yeah…" he said droning on. Just then a knock came from the other side of the door.
"If you kids plan on eating breakfast I suggest you get your asses out here because if not I'm breaking this door down and checking to make sure you two are still in your clothes. And Seth man, you're like a brother to me but dude if my daughter isn't a virgin when you leave this room I will make sure you will wake up in the hospital a girl, understood?" He said and walked away.
I looked at Seth and laughed. The look on his face was pure fear. I climbed out and looked back at him, "Coming?" I asked.
"What?" he said.
"Are you coming or are you just going to sit there like a lazy ass?" I asked him.
"Oh, yeah I'm coming." He said getting up and out of the bed. We walked into the kitchen to find the entire pack waiting for us like we were the royal couple, only I don't think we really are a couple though…right?
"Finally they are back from the dead" Jared said which got him a slap across the face from Leah and hot coffee poured on his head from Emily. We all laughed and Seth even ended up on the floor in tears he was laughing so hard.
"Alright everybody, sit down and eat, Emily, I hope you don't mind I took over on breakfast." He said. She smiled, "I'm just glad the mess will be here so that I'm not the one who has to clean it up." We all laughed, until Quil with his big mouth had to say something.
"So you two, what exactly did you do in there? Seth punked out during patrols last night to come be with you, so I hope he at least got some." That infuriated me, so as calmly as I could I walked up towards him, and gave him a good square punch in the face. He fell off of his chair and looked up at me, a black eye starting to form and blood pouring out of his nose.
That pissed Seth off to, and dad. Seth started to shake, his eyes going from the deep brown to an almost black color within seconds. Dad stayed calm but I could see in the look on his face that he wanted to attack his long time friend. Seth stormed out of the house, and I followed. He ran off and moments later, a howl echoed out. I knew that he wouldn't be coming back anytime soon, and still my body refused to let me venture back into the warmth of the house.
"Kid, you better get back in here. I don't want you to get sick." Dad said from the door. I don't know what came over me, but in the first time since I got home from my mom's funeral, I dropped to the floor, exhausted. No tears dropped, but rain did fall. I stayed there, my face looking up at the grey clouds, and just sat there. My body wouldn't let me move, or maybe it was the fact that I didn't want to move.
But for some reason, as soon the rain stopped falling, I got cold. Silently I begged for it to come back, but the rest of the day was calm. Cloudy, but quiet and calm. I got up and went back into the house. My body seemed to be on auto-pilot, and I couldn't control where it took me.
Seth going off into the woods, the way his eyes changed, I will never forget it. I thought maybe he was going to faze right there. But he ran, and for some reason unknown, when he ran, I got yet another moment that felt as if this would happen again. He didn't come back that day, or the next. I searched the woods, but dad told he was fine and didn't want to be found. I spent my days at the beach, just watching the wave's crash against the sand and rocks, while my mind seemed to drift off into another world, another time, to another day where my life would be okay again, where I would be okay again.
