Afraid of Living

Newblood Army (#4)

Seth's POV
I wake up to look at the sky, the clouds partly covering the blue.
"Andy!" A voice exclaims. Hmm sounds like Bella.
Suddenly, the sky is blocked by a face, Alexandrite's face.
"What happened?" I mumble.
"After Paul threw you into a tree, Alexandrite went all badass and commanded everyone!" Emmet exclaims from... somewhere.
"I can kick your ass!" Alexandrite exclaims back, and I hear Rosalie laugh.
"Someone's got a crush!" Quil sings.
"I can also kick you ass!" She adds.
There's a silence, only broken by loud laughter.
She offers a ha d, and I take it.
She doesn't let go, rather exclaims "We're going on a walk!", and tugs me away.
We walk in silence, waiting to talk until we are far away from everyone so they can't hear us. When we arrive, she turns to face me, silent.
" I know you imprinted on me." She starts, barely above a whisper.
"If you don't love me, that's okay. I'm willing to be a protecter, or a brother, or even a best friend." I reply. In reality, I would prefer to be a lover, but as long as I'm with her, I'm fine. I reach my hand up, and caress her cheek with it.
She grabs my hand, and snuggles closer into it, "No Seth. I love you, and that's very hard for me to say. With you, it feels different. Like, everything fades. I don't flinch when you reach for me, and I love that. I need you, more than a brother, more than a friend, more than a protector, my lover." She explains.
She gets up on her tippy toes, and leans in. I lean in too, closing my eyes. And when our lips meet, it's like the world explodes. Nothing could get through this, everything dissapears, except Alexandrite, my love.
When we pull away, we're panting, out of breathe. She giggles, and I smile, causing another giggle.
I lean in to kiss her again, when I hear a rustle if a tree, to light for human ears. Vampire. I instantly phase, standing protecrively in front of my imprint.
Seth, what is it? (Sam)
Before I can reply, a vampire jumps out at me. I instantly attack, protecting Alexandrite. we wrestle for a little bit, before I finally get his head off. In an instant, I leak back as a lighter drops straight onto the vampire's remains.
I look up to see Carlisle and Edward, both smiling at me.
Erased leans down, so we're face to face, and tells me "Thanks for saving my sister. Also, you should phase back. We have some clean shorts for you, and Andy is really anxious about your return."
I nod, and he hands me the shorts. I stand behind some bushes, and phase back, quickly pulling on the shorts.
Edward carries me to his house on his back, giving me 30 seconds to get my bearings on what to tell Alexandrite.
When we arrive, I see Alexandrite standing on the porch, nervously chewing on her fingernails. she sees me the instant I get off of Edward's back, rushing to me at a human speed. She launches herself into my arms, like we've been in love for years, instead of a day.
"You scared me." She whispers.
"I'm sorry, yet not at the same time." I reply at the same voice level.
We stay like that for a few minutes, before she starts tugging at me. I follow her into the Cullen house, up the stairs, and into a beautiful room. It had 3 crimson walls, with the fourth one being a glass window that overlooks the woods. The covers on the bed are pale cyan, the blankets deep blue, and the pillows a fiery green that fades to Slytherin green. There are two other doors, one probably leads to the bathroom, and the other to a closet.
She tugs me down on her bed beside her, then snuggles into my warmth, and falls asleep. I stare at her for a minute, before sleep overtakes me.
Alice's POV
Jasper and I walk upstairs hand in hand, going to tell Andy and Seth about the graduation party, and how they absolutely have to come. When we enter the room, I can't help it as a squeal erupts from my throat. Seth and Andy are so cute together, especially when they are sleeping. Andy is literally curled into his chest, and Seth's face looks so peaceful.
They sit up simultaneously, Seth confused. I look at Andy to see red splotches heating up her cheeks. Awwww, we made her blush.
Jacob glances at Andy, the  back up at Jasper and I, and it hits him. Je instantly starts blushing, a deep scarlet color.
"Alice! We were sleeping!" Andy exclaims, super embarrassed.
"So?" I ask, setting my hands on my hips.
Andy glares at me, mad, and Seth stick looks embarrassed.
"Moving on, we are throwing a party tonight because Bella, Edward, Alice, and I are graduating, and Alice says you have to come. Borg of you. No excuses." Jasper explains.
Oh, how I love my general.
"No, I don't do parties." Andy replies, crossing her arms.
"If you come, we'll convince Esme and Carlisle to let Seth spend the eight again. Plus you'll probably get to get drunk with him." I offer.
She takes a ninute or 2 to think about this, then nods.
"Umm, I don't have anything to wear." Seth speaks up.
"Seth, you should know this but now, I'm always prepared. I have your and Andy's outfits already planned. Don't fret." I smile, and he nods
"Okay, I'm in." He replies, and I smile again.
"Yay! Now you can meet my friends! Anyways, Andy, report to my room, Seth, to Edward's. He has your outfit, but I planned it. Andy, Rosalie, Bella and I are going to help you get ready."
They nod, and scramble off to the different rooms.
"Hope this ends well." I mutter, bidding Jasper goodbye as he goes downstairs to read a book.
