"Seth imprinted on you?" He had anger coursing through him. I gave him a confused look. "I don't know!" I screamed back at him. Even if he did why would it be such a big deal— Seth was nice. "Whats the big deal Edward?" "They are dangerous Lacie." "Edward you know you can't interfere with an imprint." I was glad to know that at least someone in my family was sticking up for me, even if it was just technicality. "She could get herself killed hanging around those things." Hearing him say that had set off some hidden anger inside of me, without even thinking I had leaped off the couch and ran towards my brother unsure what my intentions were. "Hey Seth won't hurt me Edward! You don't even know him." I had pointed an accusing finger at him, he almost looked scared if he wasn't so angry with me. "Edward it's not up to us to decide that for her right now. If she ever is in danger then we can intervene." I made a mental note to my brother "I told you so." Edward let out a sigh and was gone in a second. Once he was out of mindshot I turned to father and gave him a tight hug and thanking him for taking my side. "Lacie, your mother and I have known about Seth but we were unaware of him imprinting of you." He had paused for second and I sat twiddling my thumbs waiting for what he had to say next. "Imprinting— its more than just a crush. This boy, his whole life is going to be about you now. But— if this is what you want then we will support you." He had a warm smile on his face, as I was about to thank him as I heard a loud booming laugh behind me. "Who do I have to fight now?" Emmett had come up behind me and lifted me up before carefully throwing me onto the couch. "If I tell you, you can't throw a cow like Edward." It had been two days since my family had found out about Seth imprinting on me. Not that he had told me this himself, which confused me. Why wouldn't he want to tell me. Well I'll surely find out within a few minutes. I had been standing at my usual spot in the woods in by my house waiting for Seth. My family had unpacked the whole house, moving our stuff to our new home in Alaska. My siblings had left this morning which left my parents at the house waiting for me. I had been waiting for what felt like an hour and was about to turn around when I heard the sound of footsteps behind me. Spinning around I was met with the beautiful set of brown eyes. I had smiled instantly when our eyes met. That smile slowly faded when I realised what I was here to say. "What's wrong?" Seth looked concerned yet I didn't have the heart to tell him. "Were leaving to Alaska today." I made sure to avoid eye contact because I didn't have the guts to look him in the eye. "For how long?" His voice was so quiet that I could barely hear him. "I don't know, but we might come back." "I don't know if I can handle you being away from me." "Because of the imprint?" Seths head had snapped up to me, confused how I found out. "I have a way of knowing things." I gave him a smile, trying to lighten the mood. "Wow that makes this easier to do then." "Wha—?" I was cut off to a set of lips crashing into mine. It was like fire had set off inside my chest. I quickly jumped back in surprise. Seth gave me a nervous smile. "I figured if you were going you should have a reason to come back and visit." I smiled widely when I heard my mothers voice calling out for me. "I guess I have to go, I'll— call you." I smiled at him while ascending back up the hill. As I made my way up to my parents I could feel my cheeks warm up. They both walked out the door of the house and they both had cheeky grins on their face. "Don't say anything." I rolled my eyes at my parents as they laughed and walked to the car. As our descent to Alaska had started long ago I had leant back into my seat and let out a breath that I didn't even know that I was holding. "It's been a while since we've been up to Alaska. Carmen and Eleazar are looking forward to seeing you again." My parents had smiled at each other. I wonder if I will be as happy as they are one day. I had deeply missed our Denali family, having been around them since I was a child, my Aunty and Uncle teaching me the history of my family when I was little— despite my parents wanting to wait till I was older. My wandered back to me and Seth. He was my imprint which means he was going to be in my life. The smile on my face slowly disappearing as I remember the truth that I had still kept from him. I still hadn't told him about the tumour, I didn't know why— maybe I thought that if I do he won't want me as his imprint anymore. Even though my mindreader brother had assured me that its not something that they control. I still thought in the back of my mind that telling him will ruin everything. The one thing that was giving me hope was the mention of the new and upgraded hospital that was in Alaska. My father had assure me that we could try surgery. We had stopped at Vancouver waiting to board our plane to Alaska. I had tried falling asleep, laying my head on my mothers lap as she brushed her cold delicate fingers through my hair. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and I smiled expecting to see a message from Seth, as I rolled over and checked my phone I saw I had numerous missed calls and messages from Bella. "Did you know that your family were leaving?" "Please tell Edward to come back." "I need to see you please." I sat back up next to my mother and looked back at my parents. No one had told me the real reason that we were leaving, or that Edward was breaking up with Bella. She's Edwards blood singer, it's going to kill the both of them to be apart. "I didn't know that Edward was breaking up with Bella, what's he thinking it's going to kill her" "We had to do it to keep Bella safe." My mother wrapped an arm around me, I knew that they didn't want to leave Bella— or Forks for that matter. I was about to message Bella back letting her know that we aren't going to be far away when my father spoke up. "I think its going to be best for Bella if she doesn't hear from any of us, including you Lacie." I felt horrible cutting out Bella from our lives, she had done nothing wrong— except be human. I let out a heavy sigh and deleted the text I was about to send. I instead decided to message Seth. "Hey do you know if Bella is ok? I heard that Sam found her. I feel terrible leaving her." "Yeah he found her, she was out in the middle of the forest. Did Edward leave her?" I swear if my brother left his blood singer in the middle of the forest alone he's going to hear it from me. "I think so, apparently it's the best otherwise she wouldn't of stayed away from us otherwise." "It's ok we are gonna keep an eye on her, Jacob is gonna keep her company." Hearing that Jacob was going to looking after Bella had made me feel alot better. I had said goodbye to Seth letting him know that our plane was about board.

What a crazy 24 hours.
