Of Lions And Lambs - Part Four
A/N This is just a little random something that made me smile – to whoever reviewed to warn me very kindly that I’d miss-spelled “foetus”…I’m English and that’s how we spell it. I know…it’s weird. LOL.
Chapter Six
Leah was worried.
Standing on the back porch of their families house she watched her little brother as he swung the sharp axe through the air, bringing it down on the chunk of wood he was demolishing so that they would be able to burn it.
Seth hadn’t been the same since he went to the leech’s wedding.
He’d been quiet to the point of withdrawing from everyone who care about him and, no matter how hard she and her mother tried he hadn’t smiled once.
But most worryingly he hadn’t phased once.
Something had happened to her little brother, something that he was apparently determined to keep secret from everyone…including her.
And that just didn’t sit well with the female shape-shifter.
“Seth.”
The only response she received was a slight pause in the swing of the axe.
“I’m not going away this time.”
She’d tried talking to him before but had been forced to give up each and every time, temporarily beaten by his continued silence and apathetic attitude.
“Seth, talk to me…please…”
Her only answer was the sound of splintering wood as the axe passed through it cleanly, the two halves of the piece of wood falling off of the tree stump as he reached for the next piece of wood.
“I might be able to help.”
Leah frowned at the response she finally managed to drag out of her younger brother – a disbelieving snort followed closely by a shake of his head.
“Seth…”
“Leah…” Seth finally spoke for the first time in days, his voice flat and emotionless and so unlike his usually bubbly personality. “I’m fine…”
A piercing howl cut through the air, interrupting what would have been her continued protests about his silence and secrecy as their heads turned as one towards the direction that the sound had come from.
Leah reacted first, turning away from her brother and stripping out of her clothes until she was in nothing but her underwear. Looking back over her shoulder she frowned as she saw her brother was still stood perfectly still.
“Seth!” she snapped. “We need to answer the call!”
Seth flinched.
Turning her back on her brother once more the young woman shed the rest of her clothing, bundling them up into a small bag which she tied to her ankle before transforming into her wolf form.
Seth was still human.
He hadn’t transformed since the wedding because he didn’t want the others to read his thoughts about Blai…about what had happened at the wedding.
He didn’t want their sympathy.
He didn’t want their pity.
He didn’t want…the shame.
But now it seemed that he had no choice.
Barely taking the time to strip out of his clothes and wrap them up in the bundle that he could strap to his leg he lept into the air, transforming instantly into his wolf for and taking off in the direction the howl had come from.
Desperately he tried to keep his mind blank…
“Jake?”
“Jake?”
“Jake?”
“Jake?”
All at once a bombardment of images, thoughts and memories appeared within his mind as he sprinted through the tall trees…Harry’s worried face…Teddy screaming…throwing building blocks at…Draco…“You’re pregnant?!? But…but how?!”…Draco smirking…“The Pack will need to be informed…”
“Jake?”
“Jake?”
…you might want to speak to Bella first…
“Jake?”
“Jake?”
“Jake?”
Seth’s paws skidded across the sand as he reached the riverbed, almost knocking into his sister’s larger form as he struggled to maintain his footing as they approached the russet coloured wolf waiting amidst the piles of logs.
“Is it true, Jacob?” Paul’s voice sounded above all the others.
“What will those…things…be?” Quil’s voice demanded angrily.
“Whatever they are they’re growing fast…”
“It’s unnatural…” Leah snapped, her body practically vibrating beside him.
“Dangerous…” Jared growled.
“Monstrosity…” Quil chimed in.
“An abomination…” Jared added.
“On our land…” Quil growled.
“We can’t allow it…” Jared growled even louder.
“We can’t allow it…” Quil echoed.
“We can’t allow it…”
“We can’t allow it…”
Seth stayed as still as possible, his eyes focused on the rough sand beneath his front paws as he tried desperately to keep his thoughts from escaping the locked cage he was struggling to build around his traitorous thoughts.
“We have to protect the tribe!” Sam’s commanding voice silenced all the others, drawing their attention up to where the Alpha of their Pack stood tall atop one of the piles of logs. “What they’ve bred won’t be able to control the hunger…the thirst…every human will be in danger!”
“We’re ready!” Jared called out, snapping his strong jaws.
“There’s no time to waste…” Leah growled deeply.
“Wait…what?” Jacob’s startled voice sounded above all the others in a way similar to the way Sam’s always seemed to cut through. Seth moved slowly, keeping his moves as unthreatening as possible until he was stood close to his friend’s side.
“We must destroy there abominations before they’re born…”
Seth’s head snapped up to stare at his Alpha in shock.
“You mean, kill Draco and Bella?” he gasped loudly.
“Their choice affects us all…” Sam growled deeply, glaring down at the two wolves that he saw as a threat to his command of the situation.
“No!” Jacob cried out loudly, shaking his large head. “They’re human! Our protection applies to both of them!”
“They’re dying anyway!” Leah screamed, snapping at the side of his neck in a clearly threatening way, earning an equally violent response from the male wolf.
They fought violently, their writhing bodies shoving Seth out of the way.
It was only the snarl of their Alpha that eventually separated them.
“We have real enemies to fight tonight!”
“Tonight?” Jacob gasped loudly, his bright eyes going wide.
“You will fight with us, Jake…” Sam’s strong voice left no room for argument, the words laced with a power that forced the Pack to prove their loyalty to him.
Seth couldn’t fight the power, his head lowering quickly to press his nose into his front paws as he bared his neck in the direction of his Alpha.
Jacob was a different matter entirely.
He snarled up at his Alpha, shaking his head as he fought hard against the power pressing down upon him. His legs trembled almost violently as his muscles began to bulge from the effort of defying his Alpha’s command…
And then suddenly something crackled in the air and power shifted.
Jacob stood up tall and proud.
“I…will…not!” he snarled loudly, his eyes flashing dangerously as he practically stalked towards his Alpha. “I am the grandson of Ephraim Black. I am the grandson of a chief! I wasn’t born to follow you…or anyone else…”
With one last glare at the black wolf snarling down at him Jacob turned and sprinted away from the pack, hurrying up the hill before disappearing into the trees.
Seth gasped and he wasn’t the only one.
It felt like someone had just taken a hold of a part of his soul and yanked it away suddenly until it had shattered, leaving an aching gap in it’s place.
Jacob’s thoughts were suddenly silent.
No…
Jacob’s thoughts were suddenly gone.
“Jacob has left the Pack.”
Seth’s body began to tremble as he took a somewhat involuntary step in the direction that his friend had just gone only to find his way blocked by the firm body of his sister’s wolf form.
“What about the abominations?”
“This changes nothing. We will attack tonight.”
Seth shook his head, a low whine escaping his throat as he desperately tried to find the courage to speak up against the others.
Bella and Draco weren’t evil…and for that matter neither were Edward or Jasper or any of the Cullens.
Seth had always understood them to be good…kind…honourable…
“This is wrong…” he found himself whimpering softly.
And that was when it happened – the moment when his thoughts were a whirl with the current troubles that a snippet of his past worries and the ache that had weighed him down for weeks slipped out for all the others to see…
“I’m Blaise…”
“S-Seth Clearwater…”
“My, what big eyes you’ve got, my little wolf…”
…his mate…
“…what soft lips you’ve got…”
...the kiss…
…his mate…
It was Paul who realised the importance of what he was seeing first, rushing over to Seth’s side as the young teenager trembled from the effort of controlling his thoughts once more.
His head hurt…
“You’ve Imprinted…” Paul’s voice was soft, obviously an attempt not to be heard over the loud planning going between the rest of the Pack about the attack.
Seth sighed, turning his sad eyes on the older wolf.
“…it doesn’t matter…”
“Seth…” Paul began, his voice still painfully soft. “Imprinting is a big deal…”
“He doesn’t want me,” Seth interrupted him quickly, looking down at his own paws once more as his eyes burned with shame that he felt even more keenly now that he was in his wolf form.
His mate had rejected him…
He wasn’t good enough…
“…what?!” Paul’s gasp only just managed to stay quiet enough for others not to notice their private conversation taking place at the edge of the group.
“I don’t want to talk about it…” Seth whined, turning away from his friend.
“But Seth…”
“This is wrong…” Seth announced, softly but firmly as he watched Sam barking orders about their new plan of attack on the Cullens house.
“…I know…” Paul sighed, hanging his head between his front legs.
“Bella and Draco aren’t evil…their husbands aren’t evil…”
“…there’s nothing we can do, Seth…” Paul sighed sadly.
“Yes, there is…” Seth thought firmly, his legs straightening as he raised his head in determination. “We can help Jake.”
Paul locked eyes with the younger wolf, frowning softly for a moment before shaking his entire body as if to shake of his doubts and nodded in agreement.
Turning as one they sprinted after their friend.
“Seth!”
Leah’s panicked voice was the last one her heard before he felt that same awful sensation of someone grabbing hold of his soul and giving an awful yank, plunging his mind into silence as he raced through the woods.
“Oh…wow…that’s weird…”
Paul turned to him, his eyes filled with surprised relief.
“I can still hear you…”
“I guess…we are our own Pack now…”
“…our own Pack…”
They pushed their bodies to the limit in order to catch up with their friend, coming to an abrupt halt when they felt him shift back a few paces in front of them before continuing his journey in his human form.
“Perhaps we should shift as well…” Seth suggested softly, pawing at the fallen leaves beneath his paws. “Otherwise we won’t be able to communicate with him…”
“I need to call Pansy…tell her what’s happened…”
Decision made the two wolves faced away from each other and began to shift back, removing the bundles from their legs once they were human and pulling their clothes on over their naked bodies.
“We need to catch up with Jake,” Seth murmured.
Paul nodded.
They took off at a run, sprinting through the trees in their human form until they came to the edge of the Cullen’s land on top of one of the hills surrounding their beautiful house, stumbling to a halt as they almost ran into Jacob.
“Whoa!” Seth cried out, grinning widely at their new leader who turned to stare at the pair of them in shock. “Don’t worry – they’re not following us.”
Jacob blinked for a moment before demanding angrily,
“What do you think you’re doing here?”
Seth shrugged as calmly as he could manage given the circumstances.
“We left Sam’s Pack.”
“Go home…both of you…” Jacob sighed deeply.
“I won’t stand behind him,” Seth responded with a deep frown.
“Oh, yes, you will!” Jacob snapped. “I’m not kidding – get out of here!”
“Is that an order?” Seth demanded, his back stiffening, clenching his fists at his sides. He just left his Pack…his sister…to help his friend and this is the thanks he gets? Another Alpha telling him what to do? “Gonna make me bow down too?”
“I’m not ordering anyone…” Jacob sighed, looking almost disappointed that Seth would think that low of him. He shook his head and tried to get the younger shape-shifter to understand. “Look, I’m just going off on my own here, ok?”
“Great…” Seth answered brightly. “…and I’ve got your back.”
“No, you don’t,” Jacob responded with a firm shake of his head. “If Sam comes after Bella…are you really ready to fight your own brothers? Your sister?”
Seth squared his shoulders and answered simply and from the heart,
“If it’s the right thing to do.”
Jacob sighed, shaking his head as he was temporarily beaten by Seth’s stubbornness, turning his attention to the other shape-shifter who was stood silently off to one side with his arms folded across his chest.
“And you, Paul? Could you fight your friends? Your brothers?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
Paul offered the younger man a small smirk.
“Pansy – she’s kill me if anything happened to Draco.”
Jacob sighed deeply, all but throwing his hands up in defeat.
“Whatever. I’m gonna go give the Cullens a heads up. Do what you want.”
Jacob set off down the hill and, after sharing a triumphant smirk with his friend, Seth hurried to follow him, chatting aimlessly about anything and everything. Paul however stayed where he was, pulling his old-fashioned mobile phone that could probably survive a nuclear bomb it was so heavy out of his pocket.
Flipping it open he dialled his mates number and waited for her to pick up.
“H’lo?”
“Pansy, it’s me…”
“Paul? Is everything all right? You sound–”
“Pansy, you need to get to the Cullens house. Now. You could be in danger.”
“What?!” Pansy’s voice became little more than a screech through the muggle telephone that she was still getting used to using. “What sort of danger? What about you? Does that mean you’re in danger?”
“I’ll explain everything later just please, get to the Cullens house. Now.”
“Where are you? Paul, please…”
“I’ll meet you there. I promise. Pansy, please…I need you safe…”
“…I’ll be waiting for you but you’d better not make me wait too long or I’ll…”
“I’ll be there in a few minutes…I love you…”
An unusually large smile graced his lips when his mate repeated the term of endearment before he hung up the phone, slipping it back into his pocket as he jogged to catch up with the two younger shape-shifters.
“…how cool is this?” Seth was asking brightly as Paul caught up with them, practically bouncing with excitement. “Three man pack…three against the world…”
“You’re getting on my nerves, Seth…”
Paul grunted, “Mine too.”
“I’ll shut up….can do…”
Usually Seth would have been crawling inside of his skin while trying to keep silent but now, as they approached the Cullens large house, it was actually a blessing to not have to pretend to be his usual cheerful self any more.
Jacob stopped all of a sudden, looking up at the balcony where Edward was stood watching their approach. He looked worried.
Seth supposed that was understandable given the circumstances.
“Get ready,” Jacob said softly, well aware of how good the vampires hearing was. Edward’s body tensed even more. “They’re coming for Bella.”
“And Draco…” Seth added before he could stop himself.
“They’re not gonna touch her…” Edward growled, their own enhanced hearing picking it up even across the distance between them.
“Have Harry and Te–”
“They’re with Esme,” Edward interrupted calmly, his gaze shifting to meet Paul’s as he continued. “As is your mate – she is very anxious to speak with you.”
Paul acknowledged his statement with a sharp nod.
Any further conversation was stalled by the arrival of someone unexpected.
“Man…I can smell them from all the way out here…” Leah complained loudly as she stepped out of the trees behind the boys, dressed in her usual cut off shorts and dirt stained tank top.
Seth felt his eyes go wide at his sister’s sudden appearance.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Jacob demanded angrily.
“I’m not gonna let my little brother get himself killed,” Leah answered bluntly, rolling her eyes as if the answer was the most obvious thing in the entire world…which really, it kind of was…
That didn’t make it any less embarrassing/annoying…
“Go away, Leah!” Seth protested softly, his cheeks flushing red as he glared at his older sibling. “I can take care of myself!”
“Oh yeah?” Leah demanded, giving Seth such an angry look that he knew exactly what she was about to come out with before her lips had even parted. “That the reason you haven’t told anyone about the fact that you’ve been depressed for the last two weeks because your Imprint left you?”
Yup, she’d seen his thoughts…just like Paul had…
“What?!” Jacob gasped in shock, turning his wide eyes on Seth.
“I don’t want to talk about it…”
“Tough shit!” Leah snapped, glaring at her little brother as she stepped forwards to get right up in his face. “I’ve had enough of your silence and we do not need you all bottled up with all the other crap that’s going on right now.”
“Leah, maybe now’s not the right time…” Paul began softly but was cut off by Leah’s sharp voice as she demanded softly,
“Who was he?”
“Leah…” Seth sighed, trying to step away from his irate sister but she followed him, her face flushing an angry red colour as she all but screamed at him,
“Who?!?”
“One of Draco’s friends but it doesn’t matter! He doesn’t want me!”
Silence followed his loud response during which he pounded on his own aching chest to emphasise his point, the pain of his fist striking his skin only adding to the deep hurt already pulsing through his body.
“He’s left…he went back to England after the wedding so can we just…not?”
“Seth…” Jacob began softly but stopped when the younger shape-shifter turned to him, his eyes suspiciously glassy as he struggled to hold back his tears of pain, shame and frustration.
“Please…just let me have something else to…to think about for a little while…” Seth begged softly, turning away from his friends worried faces to meet his sister’s still heated gaze. “Look…none of you…not even you have any idea what it’s like to have your Imprint reject you…”
“Seth…”
“Look, this is the most alive I’ve felt since the wedding and I know it’s because I’ve got something else to focus on so please, let me help my friends and we can worry about my…whatever you want to call it…my Imprint rejection…later…”
Jacob looked torn but eventually nodded.
“Ok…” he murmured softly. “But we will be talking about it.”
“Fine…”
“And then I’ll kick his ass and drag him back here,” Paul announced gruffly.
A small smile graced Seth’s lips as the mental image that his friends statement had created in his overly imaginative mind, nodding softly in agreement.
“If you think that’ll help…”
It seemed for the moment that Seth’s request for the subject of his mate to be dropped had been answered as Jacob turned his attention back to the questionable appearance of his sister.
“Did Sam send you?”
Leah rolled her eyes before responding gruffly.
“Sam doesn’t even know I left.”
Of course it was at that particular moment that a series of angry howls echoed loudly through the dense forest, sending a violent shiver of discomfort running up and down Seth’s spine.
“I think he just figured it out…” he muttered softly, swallowing automatically to combat the uncomfortably tight feeling that had seemed to suddenly take over his throat as he mentally fought to stop his body shuddering. “And he sounds pissed…”
Leah also swallowed visibly, steeling her nerves before turning to face her new Alpha with a look of grim determination on her face as she spoke softly,
“Jake – I know was his plan is.”
A/N Slightly different chapter, I know, but we’ll be back with our favourite vampires soon – I just had so many people requesting that I come through with my promise to “fix things” for Seth I thought I should probably get the ball rolling… Let me know what you guys think and, as always, suggestions are more than welcome.
