Chapter 23 - Guess Who's Still Alive.....Sort Of

　

　

　

　

Before the Cullens came to collect me, Seth busted in through the front door of Billy's cabin in his human form and dressed. His hair was shaggy and a bit messy and he looked like he had ran a marathon, but his energetic personality was unmistakenable. He had a big smile on his face.

"I knew it! I knew Carlisle was keeping you hidden!" Seth grinned like he just figured everything out.

"Um, Seth?" I said, inturrupting his peppy attitude."Dr.Cullen didn't change me." I put blankly.

He looked at me and stood there just blinking for a while."What? Then how.....?"

"No idea." I sighed out after taking a deep breath.

"So what...? Wait, how did you even get out of....? And....?" Seth said, overwelming his mind with questions that he spoke in phrases.

"I'm not a mind reader." I said, not understanding a thing of what he was saying.

"How'd you get out of the coffin?" He asked first.

"I turned a guy into a zombie." I replied nonchalantly.

The look on his face changed from curiosity to fright.

"Wha..? No!" I said after I read his face."What I mean to say is somehow I put him into a trance. If I really want someone to do something for me I can make them do it." I explained.

Seth calmed down."I was worried there for a while." he sighed."So you had this guy mindlessly dig you up?" he asked.

"Yeah, it took hours." I complained, remembering how long I'd been lying in the coffin until the lid had finally been pried open."I had him fill the grave back up once I was out so nobody thought of it much." I said before Seth could ask.

"Soooo, what do you think you are?" He asked curiously.

"Seth, if I knew you would be the first person I would tell." I replied with a straight voice.

"No idea, huh?" He huffed.

"Nope. Not unless you have any ideas." I shrugged.

Seth moved towards the couch and plopped down on the far right end beside me.

"I'm glad to see your alive." He stated simply.

"If you can call it that." I frowned.

"Why?" He asked.

"I'm only breathing from out of habit. I need to eat food, but it doesn't satisfy my special hunger. And I no longer sweat." I told him the first of the things I'd learned over the pass few weeks.

"Can I feel your hands?" Seth asked randomly after a few minutes of silence.

I raised an eyebrow."Boy say what now?"

"To check and see if their cold---like the Cullen's." He clearified.

"Phew, for a moment there I'd thought you'd turned into a wierdo while I was gone." I sighed out sarcastically.

I held out my right hand to him and he touched the top of it.

"Freezing." He shivered, pulling away.

"You weren't exactly room temperature either, Seth." I told him.

"I'm a shape-shifter so I'm my body is naturally the warmth of a wolf's." He said, feeling like he had to defend himself.
