*Chapter 2* *Unusual*
*Faith consists in believing when it is beyond power of reason to believe.* *Voltaire* *Seth POV* When you're a single wolf… without an imprint to be around, time is something that you have a lot to spare. Even so I spend most of my dinner times with my mom and Charlie; I understand they need time on their own. The Cullen family always invites me on the weekends to their house, and even when I feel very comfortable with them, I miss what it seems everyone have except for me. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy that all of them have someone to share their life with; it's just from the memories of my pack members and the lovable smiles from the Cullen members, I know how wonderful is to have someone to care for… and how ordinary problems seemed to them. When Edward caught me thinking like this, he would shake his head and smile; he told me once that he waited a century to be able to have Bella. So I try to stay positive and wait, in the mean time I hang around my very *"unique"* family, and let their troubles be mine. After the Vulturi experience, our life's become… boring, for lack of better word. Jacob and Sam settle down their different points of view and we have become again a big happy pack (with Jacob as an alpha since Sam retired to live with Emily) that has a really good relation with our vampire family. So I graduated high school through home school by Carlisle and Esme. Charlie and mom married after my graduation, Leah accepted a job in a hospital as receptionist on Seattle, and for six months I was clueless about what to do with my life. One day Charlie gave me some papers and told me to take a look. A cop, Charlie was recommending me to be a cop. For me it was perfect, helping people, eat some donuts, flexible schedule, but most important, Charlie believed that I would make a good job at it, and wanted for me to work with him. So with Charlie recommendation, with a couple of advices from my mom and with the endurance of a wolf, I left to Seattle to become a cop. Easy as breathing was the training for me, and sooner that I though I was coming back to my hometown. Unexpected to me, was to find out that mom have made changes to our old house and it was all mine now. Having my own home, a dream job, a patrol once a week with the pack, and no enemies trying to kill my family, my life is almost perfect… the only thing I'm missing is my imprint. With 23 years old, I stop looking for her. Mom still tries to get me to date, Leah calls me and tells me to hang around girls, I could probably learn to love one and Jacob tells me that we never know when or how our imprint will appear before us. But I'm tired to look every girl like a potential imprint (and be look by the girls like I'm a creep); I'm tired of this search that sometimes it seems faithless, so I decide that I will just to let it flow, instead of pushing it for it to happen. Like I say, things around here are pretty peaceful, so when something changes even if it's small you are bound to notice. Truth to be told, I never though it will be Charlie. His weirdness started with a phone call, we were talking after dinner on his house and the phone ring. He answered and I help mom with the dishes. When he came back, he was almost in tears and mom run to his side and held him. I didn't say anything that day just gave him a quick hug and told him that tomorrow I would take his shift, if he needed some time off. He gave me a small nod. After this, Charlie started to spend a lot of time talking on the phone. One time even, he started to shout to whoever was at the other side of that call; he seemed that he was ready to knock someone out. That day, and a couple of days after, no one in the station dare to mess up with him, now that I remember I was the only one talking to him, the other just avoid him. Charlie started to relax and became his old self this week; I never dare to ask him what was wrong. I arrive to Charlie's home and I see Alice Cullen car parked outside, wondering what was going on I knock. Charlie opens the door and pulls me towards the living room. -Some craziness is going on upstairs and I recommend you not to go there- he hands me a beer and we sit to watch the T.V. -Charlie, - feeling unsure of the noises coming from upstairs- what's going on? -Alice is helping Sue to change around Bella's old room- seeing uncertainty all over my face he goes on-. We will be having a teenager living with us, she is arriving tomorrow. - He takes a sip out of his beer and looks at me- Do you think you can cover me next week during the afternoons? -Sure thing, Charlie. If it's ok for me to know, why is she coming to live here? Charlie looks at the T.V. but I'm pretty sure he is not really watching the game. For a moment I don't think he is going to answer. -Her father was my best friend. He passed away recently, and he left me as her guardian- a bittersweet smile appears on his face-. He though I will be good for the kid. Knowing expressing emotions are not his thing I nod and start talking about the game. Half hour later on, mom and Alice come downstairs, both smiling and looking very please with whatever get to happen to Bella's old room. -Hello Seth- Alice mess up with my hair and looks at Charlie-. Well Charlie, Aiofe's room is ready, and I should get going since it's already late. -Thank you for helping us, Alice- Charlie shakes Alice hand. -Anytime Charlie- she turns towards mom and give her a quick hug-. Sue that was really fun, hope we can do something like that again. -Think I will ask Charlie for a new kitchen- mom says smiling to Alice. Alice laughs and Charlie shake his head. Alice leaves and we move towards the kitchen, where mom makes us a quick simple dinner. We ate in silence, mom making comments on what they could do with Aiofe, and remembering Charlie that tomorrow they pick her up at Port Angeles airport at 5 o'clock. I help Charlie with the dishes, and I say goodnight to both. On my way home, I think that maybe having a new person in our lives will make everything more interesting for a time. That's when I realize I probably won't meet Aiofe, till next week. Covering my schedules and Charlie's too, plus the patrol, will leave me no time. Oh well, she wont be going anywhere I say to myself. ------------------------------ So here it's the second chapter of the story, and please bear with me, the story might seems slow, but the first chapters are to present all the possible situations and the characters and so on.
