THE SMALL ALTERCATION that occurred the night before during the huge tracking of Victoria had made its way to Seth Clearwater. The young man has never had a huge temper nor really acted out in any way — but once it was revealed through the link that Paul was even thinking about laying a hand on his imprint prompted him to seek out the wolf. Quil had realized his intention and quickly sought out his alpha — Sam. The matter was quickly resolved before it could escalate to be anything outrages, it however left the man feeling quite apprehensive on the state of his pack member.
With just a few days passing since the whole imprinting fiasco, Sue Clearwater saw the biggest difference it left her son. The teen was considerably more paranoid — antsy and restless that inhibited his ability to perform simple actions. It didn't matter one bit to the woman that her son was fated to a vampire. Yes, it would bring conflict within family dynamics but at the end of the day, she just wanted her kids happy, and if Seth found comfort in a creature that went against human nature than so be it.
It motivated the matriarch to seek out Jacob Black — a horrid idea now that she realized that the shifter was the major player against her sons destiny. However, with a little coaxing she encouraged the teen to take her son on a trip up to FORKS, playing on the fact that the kid wanted to speak to Bella Swan anyway concerning the disagreement between a few of their pack mates and some members of the Cullens. With a loud drawn out sigh, Jacob did just that — Seth following close behind with a little skip in his step.
Now thinking about it, Seth didn't get out very much as FORKS high school seemed to be whole new terrain. It was significantly smaller in comparison to the one situated on the reservation with students littered around the parking lot — engaging with friends before the first bell of the day rang out. The Cullens were the easiest to scope out in the crowd. All pale skin and aurelian eyes. A type of beauty and smell that lured people close.
Sunny Hale was amongst the small crowd, situated between a male with long blonde hair and short a brunette girl. Seth perked up significantly at the sight.
"Jake!"
The shifter had reluctantly shifted his gaze to that of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen making their way to the duo. "Hey. Charlie said you left town"
Bella nods in agreement "Yeah. To visit my mom, why?"
It took a moment for Jacob to answer the brunettes question, silently eyeing up the man situated beside the girl — Edward seemed to catch on to Jacobs intention — his face seemingly becoming distressed at the thought.
