Let’s Get Lost (Chop and Change, Part 3.)

Series descriprion: Twenty years ago, you’ve given a promise to a boy who claimed to imprint on you. Against your will, you decided to keep it and to visit La Push just to see if anything has changed.

Part summary: Everything seemed to be going well... To well for your liking. Of course there was a slight road bump waiting for you.

A/N: I think I just stan Emmett being dudebro with Jake and thus having his place in the Qiuleute family, dragging the reader along on his adventure. Also, yes, I firmly believe that vampires can cry and their saliva, in fact, isn’t that venomous, since Edward didn’t seem to be poisioning Bella while kissing her... So... Excuse me why I’ll be altering the cannon.

Warning: It’s highly recommended to read the Football Time miniseries first since this contains an unlike pairing which is explained in the series, also the circumstances are given there.

It was hard to resist... But giving in to the rush was more fun, wasn't it? It felt good to feel a bit younger, as you'd say. To feel more alive for a few minutes. Yes, you gave into Seth's tries, various looks, and daring smiles. And dear Lord did you enjoy yourself as you yelled words that didn't even go with the song. It was an amazing singing along session, to be honest. First, he thought you might not give in - but then you asked him to put your CD back in, so you could show him how it's done. And fuck, you delivered just as you planned.

I must admit, I can't explain... Any of these thoughts racin' through my brain, it's true - baby, I'm howlin' for you.

So far, it seemed that Seth was enjoying himself as your shoulders moved to the rhythm and he was making various weird faces. Sure, you met some cars here and there, but most of the people already met him and knew what he was like. And what did they think of you? Why would you care? All you wanted to do at that moment was to have fun. For the most part, you both succeeded. - "For a fossil, you're not that bad." - Seth said all of a sudden, waiting for your reaction. With an appeal of laughter, you opened up your mouth and your expression was honestly the funniest Seth had seen until that day. - "I will pretend I didn't hear that you sneaky... Fuck, no-one ever called a fossil." - With that, you turned on another road leading directly to Sam's house. - "I was called old, elderly, but a fossil? Wow." - "I didn't mean to offend you, it was a joke." - Seth said more carefully, yet as you turned your head at him, he realized you're joking as well.

"Can I ask you something?" - Seth mumbled when you lowered the music as the car rode into an area that was already inhabited. There was this huge house, an even bigger sty, and one big campfire place bounded by logs, implying that this is yet another place where the wolves and their families gather to share stories and legends of their tribe. It was magical for you. - "Shoot." - You mumbled from parking your car, watching a huge group of people in front of the house, gathering and chatting about things. The only two you could recognize were Sam and Embry, but you were sure that other names will cross your mind once you join them. - "Why did they call you the Canadian the last time you and the Cullens hung out here?" - "Ain't that pretty obvious from my accent?" - Sure, now you let the damn Canadian accent slip through. It was impossible not to catch it once you were living in one place for such a long time. - "I'm living there for a long... Long time. Possibly the last two centuries, if my calculations are correct. And because most of the vampires at least try to move around the globe, it became quite infamous. It's just a dumb nickname." - With that, you dismissed the whole topic and leaned into your seat. The engine was already turned off, but you couldn't move as you watched the group of people.

There was a lot of them. More of them than you recalled. Was is a good idea to come there after all, even though you've been welcomed to visit now? Sam told you that the presence of such a little number of vampires shouldn't cause any unwanted transforming, but... What if it will? You wouldn't be able to take such a responsibility on your back. - "What are you stressing about?" - Seth asked after a moment of watching you staring at the kids and their parents. Of course, he noticed that you're nervous. To put it nicely, the boy was obsessed with every small flinch in your face, it was logical he would notice.

"If you think they won't like you, you're right." - This boy could be so sassy at moment, you swore to God. With another snicker, you turned at him as well while still holding the steering wheel in your hand. - "They'll love you. I'll make them." - "Is that your attempt to flirt?" - Well, this was just a plain call out from your part. But honestly, it didn't make Seth even flinch. Because yes, that was exactly what he was trying to do. Maybe, he'd try to talk back just to see what your reaction would be like, but at that moment, Emmett's face appeared behind you. The huge, curly-haired vampire pressed his face into the glass, smiling at both of you.

Now, when Emmett was there, no-one would stop him from dragging you by. He and Esme never made anyone shift since their rather frequent visits - why would you make someone shift? You weren't that special for a vampire and making the shifting genes work inside a wolf certainly didn't belong to your hidden abilities. Bullshit meter? That was still in question since Edward still didn't deny or confirm the fact. You were safe for them.

And dear Lord, these people were pumped to see you coming for the said visit. Some of them, you already met two days prior at the First Beach where Seth was telling his stories. Aside from Emily, Sue made it as well, so there were four women in the kitchen. There was the second of Sam's twins, Ellie, who didn't turn to a wolf. No-one knew if she has the genes, but not even something as dramatic as her sister's suicide didn't make her turn - whereas, for Seth and Leah, it was Harry's heart attack. Most of the Uley's now assumed that she simply wasn’t a direct sucessor of the wolf thing. But Sam had a smaller son, named Billy, after Jacob's father who was likely to be a wolf once his time comes.

When you were in the kitchen, helping Emily to prepare all the food necessary, you understood why Jake warned you about staring at the twins' pictures. Ellie was looking precisely like her sister; they were both pretty after their mother. Emily herself was an amazing woman. She has a wicked sense of humor, yet still had all the motherly love and instinct. To your surprise, since the first moment you walked in front of the house and got a hug from Emily, there was the feeling that you're included under the wings of her endless love. Which, even if you were a few centuries older than Emily, was lovely.

Sue was fine with you as well. Of course, she knew who you were. She knew it when you visited her with Emmett at Charlie’s, she knew about the imprinting ever since it happened - it wasn't Seth's mistake this time. Leah couldn't keep her mouth shut and of course, she had to tell her mother about her small brother imprinting into a fucking vampire. But Sue's reaction was far from what Leah had expected to happen. She just said "And what do you think your brother can do about that?" instead of being mad. It was making her worried, yes, but when she met you in person, the fear disappeared from the bigger part. There were still worries, but these were just caused by the fact that Seth was her child. This was a plain thing to understand.

"Should I put the potatoes into the water?" - You asked nervously and looked at both Emily and Sue. These women were teaching you how to cook and to be honest, they were quite enjoying themselves. If you ever cooked something, it was back in... Sixteenth, maybe the seventeenth century. A lot of time passed since then. And that was a lot of time in which you fed by animal blood, not by cooking. Ellie was sitting at the dining table and watched you do your best while failing miserably. Sure, she knew you were a vampire, but this was hilarious in her opinion. The girl quite liked you, which was a pleasant surprise and a change from all the young girls you've met on the beach. - "Sure, they won't cook if you'll be just staring at them." - "Maybe I have laser eyes, don't be so sure." - You answered back to Emily with a daring smile, rolling sleeves of your t-shirt up. Both women furrowed and waited for what you'll do with the said potatoes - and even Ellie's eyes widened in horror as she watched you stick your hand into the huge pot of boiling water, putting the potatoes there one by one.

All of them were so shocked that you put at least five of them onto the bottom itself before they at least blinked at the scenery; all you could feel was a slight tickling on your skin. As you noticed that they're all silent, you looked at them with a slow-witted face. - "Did I do something wrong?" - You asked, still standing in front of the pot with your sleeve rolled up. - "You know... We usually don't stick our hands into boiling water. We do this." - With that, Emily pushed you from the counter and showed you how to carefully put the potatoes in. Suddenly, your cooking lesson was interrupted by Emmett, who had around four kids hanging from various parts of his body. To say he wasn't bothered was an understatement. The vampire probably didn't even know about them. And of the said children was Sakari, which heavily implied that Jacob and Jean arrived. Or that Jake was here alone.

"How's the food looking? They sent me here as a spy." - Emmett said playfully, winking at you with that. - "They sent you in because you won't eat any of the food we're cooking." - You answered quite swiftly. Before the vampire answered, he bowed to pick up a child hanging from his leg and swung them over his shoulder like a sack of wheat. Something was telling you that while this wasn't what you were supposed to do with kids, this was exactly why all the kids from La Push adored him. - "Whatever, boomer." - Emmett muttered out, looking at Emily for answers. But he wasn't about to wiggle so easily out of the situation.

"What did you just say?" - At that, you rolled the sleeve back down and stood up directly in front of the man. - "Look me in the eyes and tell me again, come on, do it." - For people who didn't know your friendship with Emmett, this could be viewed as a potentially threatening situation; while all you were doing was that you measured your egos. - "Do you want me to spell it out for you?" - Emmett asked back, straightening up even more despite having all these kids still hanging from him. - "I don't think you're that good with the alphabet."

After another few seconds a verbal shootout, which was carefully observed by all of the Uley women, you decided to solve the manner in your typical fashion - by a super dumb competition which was also extremely dangerous. This time, you decided to chop wood with your bare hands. And if wood couldn't resolve your small problem, rocks were about to do the trick. By theatrically seizing most of the men and kids that were there, you gave the women at least some time to catch a breath.

It took almost half an hour and a huge pile of wood until you simply couldn't chop a huge log anymore... It wasn't even a log, it was a whole-ass stump of a tree. For now, it was Emmett who had the upper hand - yet you knew that as soon as you will have some more agility-based ego measuring, you'll kick his ass. So, for the rest of the day, Emmett has earned the right to call you boomer whenever he felt like it. Yet he didn't use it in front of the kids so you wouldn't be only called boomer, because that would be disrespectful. And no matter how much Emmett loved to poke fun of you, he never intended to be strictly disrespectful to you. That wasn't what friends did.

And even after you lost the competition, there was Sakari and Paul's little girl, who came to talk to you. - "That was so cool!" - Sakari yelled out with giggles, catching your palm to hers. The other girl did so as well, but she stopped when she realized... - "Is something wrong with you, auntie? Are you sick? You're cold as ice." - At that, you stopped and smiled at the girl with an uncertain emotion inside you. Fuck, there was so much wrong with you. Every literal thing about you could be considered as inhuman and wrong. But Seth to the rescue. - "She has some problems with blood circulation, you know? That's why she has cold hands." - The man smiled at the girl, watching you leading both the kids back to the table. Problems with blood circulation. Of course. While it was only partially correct, it still sounded better than just saying 'yeah, kiddo, I am a vampire'. What was sweetest, the girl didn't even stop to think about that - she just nodded and started to talk about something else entirely.

"Not gonna lie, that was impressive to watch... And I'm scared of you a bit." - The man mumbled when the girls finally let go of you, running to the other kids who were running around the table. - "That was the point. Scaring you away." - It almost sounded serious, until Seth turned his head at you and saw you grinning at your joke.  - "Okay." - He just agreed. Was that emotion in your eyes or was Emmett going blind? Maybe the shine in your eyes was making him blind. All he knew that it was very sweet and that as soon as he gets the chance, he'll at least text the Cullens about that. - "Can you give us a hand in here?" - Emily cried at you suddenly, once again stealing the possibility of deepening the flirtation from Seth. Of course, you ran there immediately.

Both you and Emmett helped them carry hoards of food onto the table outside, helping them with loads of dishes, making sure everyone has some. Even though the wolves were super-strong when they were actively shifting, it was nice to have two helping vampires just waiting around to do stuff when asked. Especially when it came to carrying around super-heavy stuff since you didn't even seem to be bothered by the fact.

The late lunch was fun through and through. Everyone seemed to be interested in you - but in a good way. Was this Seth's doing? What the hell did the boy tell these people about you that made them so interested? This, of course, caused another wave of intense staring on both sides. Maybe it wasn't staring, you tried to keep it in the quick-gazes thing as you chatted with Paul and Embry, but Seth was completely lost in all of it. Emmett was just quietly observing everything. He couldn't stop the widening grin growing on his face.

To your surprise, when it was time to leave, you didn't want to leave. You wished you could spend more time with Sue and Emily, chatting with them about nothing and everything at the same time. More so, you wanted to learn more about cooking human food. The activity, no matter how tricky it could get for a vampire, was fun to you. There was still so much to talk about with Paul, Embry, Sam, and their other friends - it was so much it wouldn't get into one evening.

When you spaced out on Seth once more, you noticed a small, almost invisible drop of sauce on his chin. But you knew about the drop and it was irritating the living hell out of you. You could tell him to wipe it off, yeah, but you did something completely different. Without thinking about it, you just walked to him and cleaned it up... Whilst he was in the middle of a conversation with Jacob. It was about his extempore at the workshop. Jacob didn't try to hide the knowing grin on his face. Seth's head was empty within seconds as you then turned away and walked to Sam to talk with him. - "Wow." - Jacob got out voicelessly, turning on his heels as he didn't know what to do. Then he turned back to the boy while biting on his lower lip.

Seth was still spaced out, smoothing over the spot where your ice-cold palm touched him. The man would swear that his body was about to explode with happiness. Was it possible for his heart to beat as fast as it did or did he pass out some time ago and this was a fever dream? This could be counted as clear progress. - "I have a good feeling about this." - Suddenly, Emmett jumped into the conversation with Sakari hanging on his forearm. - "I've never seen her so soft around anyone."

If this was all false hope, it was nothing but cruel. But if it wasn't...

On the other hand, the thing flew out of your head almost instantly. You were walking with Sam to the car where you were about to wait for Sue since you offered her a ride home. - "You can always come for another visit." - Sam told you with both his hands in his pockets. - "You know, I heard that you hated vampires before. And that the last conflict didn't end up so well." - You started carefully, but Sam just smiled and nodded. - "I learned how to appreciate some of the Cullen's qualities after meeting the Volturi." - "You met Aro and his underlings?" - That was new information for you. You've heard about the Nessie problem countless times at that point, you knew that Jake and his pack were there - but you didn't know all the Quileutes came to defend the Cullens. - "Not so fun bunch, I tell you that." - Suddenly, your liking for Sam Uley grew even more. You hated Aro for some time and he detested you as well. You've been there and done that. - "We can agree on that." - With that, you went for a quick hug, promising him to stop by as soon as you'll be able to.

Driving Sue home was more or less a nice while when you chatted about Forks and the surroundings, the woman told you about a lot of nice places to visit - since you were allowed to the reservation, the spots were all over the Olympic Peninsula. You appreciated everything she had told. When you dropped her off at Charlie's, Seth climbed to the front seat since you were about to drive him back home before departing to the Cullen residence. To make his mood a bit better, you chose to play the CD he had given you. But there wasn't much talking done throughout the journey. Seth was trying to figure out what to do next, the fear of you leaving was now more and more real inside of him.

"Is everything okay?" - You asked suddenly. The sky was getting dark and since it wasn't cloudy that night, the stars were slowly starting to shine on the night sky. This was certainly one of the few rarest nights out there, where it wasn't raining like hell. - "It can't get any better." - Seth whispered, more likely to himself than to you, but you didn't let it slip past your radar. It made you smile for a second, but you didn't show that to the man.

More importantly, the closer you got to his home, the slower you wanted to drive the car.

Jacob told you that imprinting is usually about finding the perfect match, right? Sam had found and settled down with Emily, with who he had a beautiful family. Leah moved out of Forks with Samantha, living her best life somewhere out there. And since you stopped resisting, at least partially, you seemed to be giving in so easily you almost felt ashamed. But... It wasn't that hard. Sure, there was still the terror of not being alone, but there were moments where you could look past that. And this day was one of them as a whole. For Seth, to give him a real chance, you were willing to create another of those. And maybe more of them. - "I enjoyed it today. Your family is amazing." - There was nothing but admiration in your voice as you mentioned them.

"I noticed mom liked you too. Except for when you stuck your whole arm into the pot. That freaked them out a bit." - Seth admitted with a chuckle, making you growl in shame. - "You heard about that?" - This was very embarrassing for you. Sticking your arm into a pot of boiling water... Yeah... Who would've thought about that? - "Ellie told us when you and Emmett had the small show-off." - With that, Seth smiled at you. - "I think it was pretty badass even if you lost." - And there was pure admiration in his voice as well. He shouldn't be as admiring of you, because maybe that was the rock of the problem. This was maybe freaking you out. And also you knew he can't do a thing about that.

It got kinda uncomfortable when you both got out of the car in front of his house. Both of you wanted to say something, but you just kind of looked at each other for too long. Then you noticed the slow steps Seth was taking towards you. First, there were gentle touches on your forearms which you noticed only because his skin was much hotter than yours. The man did his best not to jump in too fast. And indeed, it felt almost agonizing until he smoothed your upper arms, caressing your shoulders as well. When his palms gently caught your neck, as if you could break under the touch, he saw you smiling and closing your eyes. Seth was close. Your body could feel the natural heat coming out of him, you could feel the blood rushing in his veins, the manic rhythm of his heart, and the way his breath fastened.

Jesus Christ, it would be so easy to just let go and to give in. If you'd lost head here and there, you'd just drag him inside, and... But you didn't want to do it like this. So in the last moment, just when you felt him breathing to your face, you put your palm on his chest, pulling him a bit further from you. Seth wasn't mad of weirded out by the last moment bailout. At least, he palmed your jaws, since you seemed to be more than comfortable with the closeness. You were so comfortable that you put your palms on his sides, sending him another crooked smile. - "Too soon?" - The man asked simply, making you nod. - "I need time to know that I'm not acting out of remorse or hormones." - "Vampires have hormones? That's a new one." - Seth smiled, making you snicker as well. - "Shut up." - You answered only. - "As you wish, ma'am. Should I ask about the remorse?" - At that, you just shook your head.

Damn, you would be able to spend hours solely by staring at him from that angle. But he, unfortunately, needed to sleep, eat and go to the toilet. So that was a no-no scenario for you. - "What if I take you out?" - You asked suddenly. At that, Seth rose his eyebrows. - "Go on." - "Well, for starters, you, me, Port Angeles, movies and dinner. My treat." - "I don't want you to spend money on me. It's dumb." - At that, you gently pinched the skin under his sweatshirt, laughing unbelievably. - "But if you'd ask me out and pay for me, that would be a-ok, am I right? Last chance, take it or leave it." - Of course, Seth agreed, even though he imagined he'll be the one to ask you out. - "Call me." - You whispered in the end, getting on the tips to at least treat him with a simple kiss on the cheek. Even this small gesture made him stay in front of his house with shining eyes as you drove off into the night.

That happened three days ago. When you told Emmett, who immediately texted to the family group, you placed a bet on when Seth will call you. He was guessing the night when you asked him out - you bet on the following day. But he hadn't called you. He hadn't texted you. And even if Emmett was taking you to all the spots Sue told you about, there was still a huge part of you which was slowly descending to madness again. There were all of those dark scenarios playing out, one after another.

You didn't do anything bad. Yes, it was too fast for you, but you've told him not to push it and Seth seemed to be okay with it. He was willing to wait a bit longer, a few days were nothing against twenty years, right? But what if he jumped to conclusions too fast as Brianna did? What if he hurt himself or worse? All the horror scenarios came to you once more - Seth being crushed by a tree, a rock, drowning... Fuck, why did he have to be so fragile? Sure, against a normal human being, he wasn't fragile at all, but next to you...

On the third day of silence, you knew you couldn't do it anymore. Suddenly, you ran out of the residence while Emmett watched you through the window. You could run to Jacob's house, sure, but you'd get lost on the way again - driving a car whilst knowing the communications around Forks was safer and quicker at that point. Once you passed Forks, you sped up beyond limits with tears in your eyes. One of the songs Seth picked out for you was playing on repeat, yet it was ignored by you. Your breath was slightly hitching as you tried to focus on the road, your knuckles were getting paler and paler. At one point, you had to stop flinching your fingers because you almost broke the steering wheel. It was evening, so Jacob was home at that time. First, you wanted to ask him and then, you planned to drive directly to Seth's house. You couldn't get less fuck about anything at that time.

Jacob ran to your car through heavy rain, since he heard the loud tunes playing. He stopped himself at the sight of your appearance. Even though your eyes were showing that you're not lusting for blood just yet, there were deep dark circles under your eyes to the point you almost seemed to be sick. To amp it up, even more, you were crying. And shaking. - "Where is he, Jacob?" - You walked straight to the man, not stopping at the fact that he's a shapeshifter - you simply caught his shirt in your palms, raising him to the air like a goddamn toy. Sakari and Jean were both standing at the front door, watching the sight. - "And don't make me repeat myself."

Jacob did his best to stay calm. You were a friend and he understood that something must've happened. He didn't want to transform and to hurt you by any possible means. Gently, Jake put his hot palms on yours, hugging them. - "Put me down, Y/N, come on." - After a moment, you blew angrily, but did as he asked. - "Is something wrong with Seth?" - The man asked right after. Slowly, the previous furiousness was replaced with fear and anxiety once more. - "I don't know. I thought you might know... He was supposed to call me, but he didn't. I hadn't heard of him in three days." - Jacob nodded, trying to find the best solution. - "Listen, try to go to him for a visit, maybe he's just taking his time and you've freaked out absurdly. Okay? Okay. Give me a call once you'll know something."

You drove to his house as if he was about to die any minute. There wasn't a time where you'd try to slow down the machine or anything, you just pushed forward even more. This time, you tried knocking and calling him on the phone once more, but as soon as you realized he isn't picking up, you did as you told him previously. Once more, you broke into the house through an opened window.

For a minute, you listened to the dark house, trying to catch any signs of life. And soon, you did. He was breathing... But something was wrong. Very wrong. And when you stepped into the bedroom once more, you almost couldn't breathe for more than ten seconds before you pulled yourself together and dialed Carlisle's number.
