Moonlight Sunrise

Conflicts

Bree

I didn't think something bad was going to happen to me. Honestly I didn't think this life or death situation would ever occur. All I wanted to do is go out and have some fun in the woods, maybe eat a deer or two and get back to Bella's before anyone who notice.

However those plans quickly changed when I soon found myself being cornered by a huge gray wolf, snarling and growling at me. God the wolf look so pissed off I'm afraid if I move an inch she'll tear me into bits in a heartbeat. I haven't been this terrified since I saw the wolves and the Cullens was easily defeating Victoria's newborn army.

I raised my hands to show I didn't mean any harm. "I'm sorry I cross your territory." The Quileutes wolves didn't like the vampires crossing over their land. I pretty much broke the treaty. And most likely started a war.

The gray wolf bares her teeth at me, slowing approaching me with an attack posture. I began to think of my options: I can maybe pull the tree behind from off the ground and smack her with it. But I won't have enough time. Then I thought about climbing up the tree. I figure she couldn't have enough strength to kick it down or jump high enough.

Then out of the bushes came two more wolves: one had dark silver fur and the other one had different shades of chocolate-brown fur. The gray wolf turned her head towards them and started to snarl at them. The dark silver wolf was got very hostile towards the gray wolf. He charged at her, his mouth open wide and teeth baring. She dodge his attack and went straight for his hind leg. He howls in pain and she tackles him to the ground. Then she looks back at me with a murderous look.

As soon as she made her move towards me, another wolf appeared out of nowhere and tackles her into a tree. This wolf was sandy brown.

Seth.

I watch as Seth and the gray wolf snarl and growl at each other. Then a howl interrupts their confrontation and the other wolves that was currently present howls back and began to leave. The gray wolf and Seth stared at each other before she took off with the wolves.

I let out a sign of relief. "Thanks."

Seth nuzzles his massive head against my body and whines softly. I rub the top of his head. I'm sorry.

"Sorry?"

Suddenly he shifts back into his human form. I ignored the fact that he was naked because it didn't bother me. Or so I tell myself. We look at each other for a moment in silence.

"I'm so sorry about my sister Leah."

"That was your sister?" I said.

He shrugs slightly. "She's like that at times..."

"Doesn't she know I'm a GOOD vampire?" I nearly yelled, feeling myself get a bit angry.

Seth signs. "Leah hates ALL vampires. Good OR bad."

I huffed in frustration. "She was close to ripping my head off. What did I do wrong? Did I cross the border?" I asked more to myself than Seth.

He shook his head. "No. Not really. You was just on the edge of our territory. Leah and Embry was patrolling around here." Seth explains. "They must have smelled you and thought you were a nomadic vampire."

It was a understandable explanation on why the wolves cornered me, but it doesn't explain why his sister was so hell bent on killing me. I get she hates vampires but the way she look at me suggested that it was very personal.

"That doesn't explain why Leah wants to kill me."

"I told you. She HATES vampires." He said, looking at bit nervous.

"More like she hates me." I said.

Before Seth comment on my statement, another loud howl filled the air.

"That's Sam." He said. "I promise I'll explain things later." He turn himself away from me. I instantly place my hand on his shoulder. His skin was hot like if he had a fever, not unbearable hot like placing your hand on open flame.

"Wait! Tell me what?"

He looks down. "It's complicated, Bree. But I promise I'll tell you. Okay?"

All I could say was "Okay."

I watch as Seth was phased into a wolf and took off running, howling.

I went straight back to Bella's and stayed there until sunrise. I spent the whole night staring at the celling, thinking about what secret did Seth have to tell me that was so important. So far ever since I met him, he's been very sweet and kind but secretive and nervous. I'm starting to believe that he is harboring a crush on me.

Werewolf crushing on a vampire. I find that laughable.

I mean, how can that be possible. Sure I find him attractive and yeah I would like to date him but that can never happened. Maybe he's just nervous around girls in general.

There is no way in hell Seth Clearwater could ever have romantic feelings towards me.

Seth

The pack met up about ten miles away from La Push at a clearing left by loggers. It was far away and isolated so no one could see a group of wolves. Embry met up before I did, so everyone was there.

I could hear the chaotic conversation at my head, mostly at Leah. Sam's giant black form moves towards Leah. She stood there not moving but I could tell she rather him attack her than lecture or make her follow his Alpha orders.

How could you do that Leah?

She was in our territory. Leah thought, growling.

She kind of did. Paul added.

Does that mean she broke the treaty? Leah questions. None of those leeches are to cross our land and we wouldn't cross theirs.

She didn't know. It was a mistake.

Leah snarls at me and I snarled back. Now you're choosing the leech over your family? She doesn't even like you!

You don't know that. Quil thought. Maybe he has to give her time.

She was one of those newborns we fought. Jared said. She is not-

What? Safe? Nice? Good? I said defensively. You don't know her!

And you do? Leah thought.

Stop! Sam orders.

My legs seem to buckle under me against my will, no matter how much I try to fight it. Stupid alpha command. Sam approached both me and Leah, looking at me then at her before going back to me.

You will not be cruel to your brother Leah. What you attempted to do was completely against our laws. She is his imprint. That is the end of it.
