Lost Gold

Chapter Eighteen

Seth's POV

I had never, ever seen Eliza like that. Kind of angry, and murderous, and evil, and it sort of worked for her. Made her look kind of... Well, kind of sexy... Come on, I am a teenage guy.

Dante lead Eliza off into the forest, saying something about needing to take her hunting. I guessed she kind of probably did need to go, you could just see the blood lust radiating off her.

On the other side of the forest, Edward discussed with Aro, Marcus and Caius, the possibility of letting the remaining Volturi members go. He would probably let them, I knew. Edward was not one to kill people without a point, although I knew Eliza would have done it without a second glance.

I loved her, don't get me wrong. She was perfect in every way! But she could be a very violent person sometimes... That's what made her so powerful. She had the ability to destroy someone, and she wasn't afraid to.

Hey Seth, you okay bro. That must be a little weird for you. Eliza being your imprint and all... Quil thought to me. The wolves were all running patrols around the whole La Push/Forks area to around Port Angeles to make sure everything was okay and as it should be. We did not want any surprise attacks coming at us.

Yeah, I thought back, I'm fine, I guess. It is a little weird, but it's just her, isn't it?

Guess so... But man, if that was Claire, I'd be pretty damn freaked out! Quil thought back to me.

But imprinted on her, it just seems to be natural to me. I pondered my own words as I thought them. They were true. Eliza's whole vampire abilities were just part of who she was, and I loved her... All of her.

Yeah... Imprints just click... Talking about imprints, Paul? You fessed up to Dante yet? Was Quil's reply.

Kind of, I guess... Paul mumbled in his head, a little embarrassed, I kind of hinted at it, if you know what I mean... No one had seen Paul this embarrassed when it came to girls. We could all hear him rethinking over and over again, the one time he held Dante in his arms, most of us sniggering.

Yeah, I do know what you mean... Paul's whipped! Embry mentally shouted.

Am not! Paul replied defensively.

Oh! Would Dante do this? Would Dante think I'm an idiot if I do this? Does Dante think I look like a prat in this? That blonde with the massive 'rack' sending me flirty looks is such a tramp, I wish she would go away, and Dante to appear in my arms so I can gaze into her beautiful eyes, and rest my hand against her perfect, smooth cheek. Then slowly, ever so slowly, press my lips against hers- Jared's mocking was cut off by Paul. A very embarrassed Paul, might I add.

Shut up. I do not sound like that.

We all kept sniggering wolfy sniggers.

Boys, and erm... Leah, Sam started, rephrasing when Leah sent an angry cough in her head, that's enough. You've all got imprints now, so we all know how Paul feels.

Yeah, how come we only pick on me? Paul gasped mock hurt in his head.

Because it's funny! The ex man whore, whipped? It's just... Just priceless. Embry laughed in his head.

Anyway, Sam exerted control again, we can stop patrolling now. We've been running for over an hour, and Carlisle just told me the negotiations are finished. Everyone meet back in the clearing in five.

We all sprinted back to the clearing, glad the whole battle was over. I wondered if Eliza was back yet... Should I go find her? I quickened my pace, anxious to be with my imprint.

I reached the clearing first, well actually, Leah was first, but she's the fastest, and all that, and I quickly scanner the area for Eliza, my heart instantly plummeting when she was nowhere in sight.

Edward, seeing my saddened face, walked over to me. I quickly shifted, sliding into a pair of jeans before facing him.

"How'd the negotiations go?" I asked.

"Oh, fine. They've all left now. So we should be fine. We made a deal that they could not bother us again, unless it was a completely serious matter, and even then, it has to be a sit down discussion, not a war." He said calmly, brushing his long, pale fingers through his tousled hair.

"That's good." I murmured, sensing Edward had something he wanted to say to me.

"Yes. Indeed, I believe I do have something I want to say to you." Edward said upon hearing my thoughts. I smiled gently at him, urging him onwards.

"Well, I don't really know how to say this, but... I am truly glad you imprinted on my sister. I know she can be a bit of a handful, and a lot of work, but I am so very glad you are with her… And… I know this is technically my father’s job, but he is no longer with us, so I feel that is my duty instead. Mother and Father would have loved you, Seth. No one has ever made Eliza so happy. So, I give you, on behalf of my father, his, and my own, blessing.” He said smoothly, looking at me intensely.

“Thank you. It means a lot to me.” Edward stuck out his hand for me to shake, which I promptly did, grinning all the while.

“Eliza should be back soon. I can hear her thoughts… She is always thinking of you, you know.” She was always thinking of me… That itself was enough to warm my heart.

I could smell Eliza’s beautiful vanilla and roses scent nearing, and I turned to the direction it was coming from.

“Seth!” She cried, running into my open arms, “I was so worried about you…” I smiled.

“Me too… you…”

A/N: Sorry for the wait... But there's actually only one more chapter... I've decided to keep this story short and sweet, and there is no sequal.
