Seth and I walked

the house laughing like a bunch of lunatics. We were racing back to the house and Seth tripped on a rock and fell, face first, into a new pile of dog crap. The smell of him was almost unbearable. Right

through the front door, my family was dying of laughter as well.

"We saw the whole thing dog!" Alice giggled to herself, scrunching up her nose in disgust. Edward and Jacob weren't laughing though. They were both looking at Seth would hard eyes. Confusing crossed my eyes for a moment, but I quickly forgot about it when Seth asked, "Can I take a shower?"

I giggled at him and nodded my head. "The showers are upstairs, just find one and your good to go." He thanked me and ran upstairs.

"How was the hunt?" Mom smiled at me. "Your eyes are as green as ever."

"It was actually quite fun! Considering I went with a wolf." She laughed and patted the empty seat next to her. I skipped towards her

around me and we looked at the family. Edward and Jacob were looking at each other with hard eyes. "What is it?" I asked after a couple of long seconds, my curiosity getting the best of me. Edward seemed to have forgotten

whole family was here because he got out of his hard eyes and looked down quickly. Jacob slowly looked my way, still with his hard eyes.

"Nothing," he said sternly. I arched my eyebrow at him.

"Well it must be something." Jacob looked at my mom and gulped. His eyes showed fear. What is going on? I looked up at Mom and she had the look I was feeling, confusion.

concentrated on my hearing and heard Seth's shower going.

"No," she whispered. Then, shot a death look at Jacob. "NO!" she screamed. Edward flew on top of her and braced her down. "NOT MY DAUGHTER! NOT MY BABY!"

was wrong with me?

"Nothing is wrong with you babe," Dad whispered. Seth came down the steps with only pants on. I tried not to look at the six pack that my eyes saw. Mom snarled at him and that's when Jasper and Dad started holding her down. Seth eyes grew wide and Jacob stood next to him. There was so much that was happening. Everyone was

"Maybe Seth should be the one to tell you," she whispered, but made sure everyone else could hear.

"No," Mother hissed.

"Threes nothing you can do about it Rosalie," Jacob said, still guarding Seth. "It is already done." Mom looked at Seth one last time and sighed. Every muscle in

"I'm fine," she whispered. Edward, Jasper, and Dad slowly got off of her but still hovered around her. "Seth and Jennette," she spoke with a soft voice. "Maybe you both need to go on another walk." I looked up at Seth and he gulped at me. He was nervous, I could feel it. He nodded his head and walked out the back door. I started to get up and walked to the door when Mom grabbed my hand. She looked at me with an expression I couldn't read. "You won't faint but it's going to feel like you will." I was about to ask what she was talking about but she pushed me out the door. Seth was standing outside, still with only pants on. His eyes were on the ground and his hands were in his pocket. I walked over to him and felt the wind brush through my hair. He shivered and looked up at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked cautiously. He nodded his head and cleared his throat.

"Do you want to walk a little bit away from the house. I feel like they are listening," he whispered.

"Sure," I said with a smile. Might as well lighten up the mood. I walked next to him in silence for a little bit. Seth was looking around nervously and not acting like the funny, goofy Seth I met in the woods earlier. "Are you going to tell me why my mother had a freak out session?" Seth smiled and looked at me.

"I think your going to have a freak out session after I tell you what everyone else knows."

"Try me," I teased. He rolled his eyes and looked at the ground again.

"Do you know how Jacob and Renesmee are inseparable? How they are always next to each other and so--" he hesitated.

"In love," I finished. Jacob and Nessie have been hip to hip since I first joined the family. They are always together, no matter what.

"Right," Seth whispered. He stopped walking and looked at me. "Us wolves have a thing where we can only love one person in our whole lives. When we find that person, we do everything in out power to protect and love them. It's forever for us Jen." He whispered. I nodded my head in understanding. "We call it an imprint. When we imprint on someone, that someone is our love."

"Where are you going with this Seth?" I asked. He looked at the ground and gulped.

"I have imprinted on someone Jen." My eyes were wide as everything clicked into my head. The reason why my mom freaked out, the reason why Jacob and Edward were looking at each other with such fierce eyes, the reason why Seth was so nervous right now. I started breathing quickly. I felt as if I was going to be unconscious. You won't faint but it's going to feel like you will. Now, I understood what my mother was saying.

"Oh," I whispered, sitting down. Seth sat next to me and looked up in the sky.

"Yes Jennette, I have imprinted on you. " Now it was my turn to gulp. "But it only works my way, Jen. You don't have to love me back." I looked up at the boy who was frowning. I knew something was different as soon as I met Seth. Now, I think I understood why. I slowly leaned

opposite of my kind. "Maybe I will one day. You just have to get me to like you first." Seth laughed and I smiled.

"You don't like me yet?" Seth gasped, clearly joking around.

"Well the first time I met you, you kind of tripped in poop and smelled
