Lily Taylor never thought moving to a small town in Forks would be life changing. She doesn't know what to believe anymore. But, did I mention Seth Clearwater imprinted on her. Love me or hate me, I'm still there to protect you whether you like it or not. Maybe, someday, it would be more than that.
DISCLAIMER: I don`t own Twilight. ONLY my character Lily Taylor. And also any other characters you may don`t know from the movie.

*December 25*
Christmas morning! I loved it and was excited about it, which is why I`m up at 6 in the morning. Not only was I excited for Christmas, but it was also Seth and I`s first Christmas together. I got him something that came from my heart. And you`ll have to wait to see what he got the same time he does. I was wearing my favorite pajama which was a sweatshirt that said, 'Santa Is My Homie' and black sweat pants. I opened the cabinet grabbed the Santa Clause mug. I grabbed the hot chocolate mix and put it into the hot water. After putting the marshmallow, peppermints and whip cream on to finish it off, I took a sip. I took a peek into the living room and saw all the presents that were different shapes and sizes underneath the Christmas tree. It took every ounce of me not to just go and rip them open. Seriously, look at them. I sat on the couch and enjoyed the silence. I needed it since soon my little sister will be screaming, "IT`S CHRISTMAS! IT`S CHRISTMAS!" To the top of her lungs like every year.
I started to think about how my dad won`t be around for Christmas yet again. It`s been three years since he died and it still didn`t feel right without having him here. I felt a tear slip from my eye as I quickly wiped it away. Dad wouldn`t be here for Christmas, to meet Seth over even be at my wedding. He would never experience that with me nor Ciara. I bit on my bottom lip to stop it from quivering. I took a sip of my hot chocolate and sat in silence.
After what seemed like forever, I finally heard little footsteps patting on the hardwood floor and I instantly knew it was Ciara. I sighed and got up to put my mug in the sink.
Let it begin!
After the opening of the presents and laughing and took hella a lot of pictures that were taken, I got into the shower. After I was finished, I curled my hair and put on a little make-up before getting dress. I looked into the mirror and smoothened out my dress. I grabbed my purse and a jacket and went downstairs.
"Lily, don`t forget we`re meeting at Emily`s house tonight around 6, so we don`t be late." My mum warned as I nodded.
"Okay, mum! Bye!" I yelled as I exited the house. I was concentrating on not slipping off the slippery ice in my heels. After making it to my car without dying, I got in and instantly turned on the heat. YAY! I finally got my license without killing anyone who dared to teach me...Sorry, Leah.
As I started the car, I noticed a note attached to the passenger seat. I snatched the blue sticky note off the seat and leaned back into the seat as my eyes started to scan it.
Hello, Love. Fist note. So, I bet you're wondering,
what the hell is going on? Well, let me explain. This is like a sea venture hunt.
Now, go to the place we first meet.
~Seth
I looked at the top of my roof. Where we first meet was at the first beach at the bonfire human Bella took me when I first arrived. Those were nice days. But, now look at me! I started the engine and drove to La Push. Finally, arriving at the ice-covered beach I turned off the car, Man, I really didn`t want to go out there and slip on my butt. I cringed at the thought of my butt landing on cold snow. That was until my eyes landed on a pair of black converses in the backseat that I kept there for dance practice. I kicked off my heels and quickly replaced them with the warm, comfortable sneakers, I got out the car. I wrapped the jacket around me even tighter in an attempt to warm me up a little bit. See, this is why I need Seth here so he can keep me warm.
But, no. We have to play his fricking game!
My eyes stopped on a log covered in snow and ice that I`m pretty sure we have our bonfires at. I walked closer to it and saw that it had an adorable purple stuffed animal owl on it. My favorite animal. Right next to it was a note attached.
I see you found my second note. And if you didn`t then I`ll be embarrassed
and go die in a hole. And I`m dramatic. Anyway, remember
when you told me your favorite animals were an owl?
Well, I got you one and now you two can spend your days doing nothing since I know that`s your
favorite thing to do. Now, go to the place where Sam was pissed at us.
~Seth
I rolled my eyes at the note but tapped my chin with my index finger. Where Sam was mad at us...? When the hell was Sam...Oh! That pillow fight. Man, was he pissed. I silently giggled to myself and made my way back to the car. Restarting it, I drove over to Sam and Emily`s. I didn`t even have to knock since this was like my second home and family.
"Hello, family!" I yelled making my voice extend throughout the house. I don`t know why concentering the fact that the majority of them are wolves. I went into the living room to see everyone and their imprints. A choir of 'Hello`s' and 'Merry Christmas' were thrown at me. I smiled and said Merry Christmas back.
"Oh, Lily. Your next note is in there." Olivia pointed to the kitchen.
I nodded, "Thanks, Liv." I said skipping to the kitchen. I saw that massive food on top of the stove. Whoa, Emily`s slaving over the stove more than usual. Sam should really hire someone to cook for them...But, then again the bill would be pretty big. I started looking around the kitchen for any signs of clues. After almost giving up, I spotted a basket on top of the fridge. I sighed frustrated because he knows I can`t possibly reach up there. I grabbed a stool and climbed up to get the basket. After retrieving it, I defiantly noticed how it was patted with a feather. I silently laughed to myself and looked inside.
It was chocolate bars and...A STARBUCKS GIFT CARD. Hell yeah! Okay, I may be a little obsessed with that coffee place. And Seth knows it. I took the note off the basket and expected Seth`s handwriting.
Hey, you reached up and got the basket. I bet you used a stool.
So, the last clue is to go to the place where my mom embarrassed the heck outta me.
I bet you remember...Yeah. So, go there.
~Seth
I grinned just remembering the baby pictures. I quickly ran out of the house, saying goodbye on my way out. Jumping into the car and went off to the Clearwater`s residents. Parking the car, I stepped onto the porch that had many Christmas decorations on it. Before I could even knock on the door, Leah opened it for me. She smiled when she saw me which I`m still getting used to.
"Hey," I said being awkward. She smirked at me as we walked into the kitchen where Sue was also cooking. This made me think that my mum should probably cook something too. But, I wouldn`t want to poison my second family.
"Hey, mum." I waved at her. She smiled and waved.
"Hello, Lily." She gave me a hug.
"Is Seth here?" I mentioned.
Leah decided to answer that question for me, "Yeah, out in the back." I nodded and made my way to their backyard. I soon saw a trail of yellow rose pedals leading off to the woods. Either this could be Seth`s doing or a crazy pycho bear who wants to eat me... That seems irrelevant but could happen. I took my chances with the bear and followed the pedals that marked the white snow. I kept my head down following them afraid at what it might lead to. Soon, it all stopped. I slowly looked up to see my boyfriend with awaiting arms.
I ran into them and whispered knowing he could hear me, "You did this for me?"
"Yeah, but I had help from the pack as well." He grinned. I took in a nice long scent.
"Thank you." We stayed there in a comfortable silence which felt nice. Even though I`m like freezing to death, but I have Seth to warm me up.
"Um, Seth. Not to ruin this beautiful moment and all, but I can`t feel my legs." I mentioned. He just chuckled which I still find sexy.
"Well, to the car then." He picked me up bridal style and ran to my vehicle. The harsh, cold wind hit my face and causes me to snuggle deeper into his chest. We soon made it to the car and got in, but only Seth was in the driver's seat.
"Oh," I remember my gift I was supposed to give him. I reached behind his seat and got a wrapped square-shaped present. "Merry Christmas."
He raised his eyebrow at it as I bit my bottom lip afraid if he might not like it. Finally, he accepted the present and unwrapped. He stared at it for a moment. Damn it! I knew he wasn`t going to like it!
Next, he started smiling from ear to ear. "You made up these on your own?" He asked flipping open the 50 Reasons I Love You book.
"Yeah. It was time-consuming, but I manage to come up with more than 50." I blushed. Next thing I knew, I was in his arms.
"I love it. I love you." He said into my hair. I practically sighed in relief.
"I love you too."
