Loneliness is over
Dark days are through

"Everlasting Light" by The Black Keys


Seth POV

Billy was waiting for us at the Emergency Entrance when we pulled up. His face looked dark and concerned.

"Are they alright? What happened?" I fired questions at Billy the moment I was in shouting range.

"They haven't arrived yet. I'm waiting for the ambulance. Maybe you should go find your mother Seth. I haven't been able to reach her and I think she's working inside right now." I looked to the road hoping to see an ambulance coming but there was none.

"I'll be right back." I rushed in and turned down the first corridor, knowing exactly where my mom would be.

"Seth?" She gave me a surprised look when I burst through the door of the elderly care wing. "What's wrong?"

"Mom! Leah and Sophie have been in an accident. We have to get to the emergency ward now." I turned and ran knowing that my mother would follow with out question. My heart pounded in my chest as I ran. I was able to hear commotion coming from the direction of the Emergency Entrance and in the distance I could see paramedics rushing in with a gurney, Chogan steps behind and I knew it was Sophie.

"Is she okay? SOPHIE!" I ran faster and skidded to a stop at doors that were clearly marked Employees Only. Sam pulled me back knowing that I would burst through them without hesitation.

"Seth, relax. She is alive." Sam said, still holding my shoulders.

The next ambulance pulled up and there was even more shouting and hospital staff running for the door. A group of paramedics pulled Leah out of the back doors and we automatically noticed that they were already administering CPR. She wasn't breathing. I turned to look at my mom who was frozen in horror at the sight of her child in that state.

"My baby girl!" She wept while running up to the door as the paramedics rolled Leah in and handed her off to the ER doctors. The words sudden cardiac arrest rang in the air as the paramedics updated the doctor of her condition. The paramedics stepped away as the hospital staff took over and looked expectantly through the restricted area doors along side us. My mom fell to her knees, her body shaking with despair. I moved to her and held her close in a failed attempt to comfort her.

I felt the pain of losing a piece of my heart all over again. This was a pain that I knew all too well from the loss of my father. The fault lines on my heart, hidden under feeble layers of scar tissue began to emerge with every passing moment.

"Sue, are you okay?" It was a voice I didn't recognize and I looked up through blurry eyes. His foreign accent made him sound like Viggo Mortensen in the movie Eastern Promises.

He stood tall above us; his chin length hair fell forward as he leaned down to put an arm on my mother's shoulder. I felt a territorial instinct rise within me as his scent wafted towards me. It was unusual and definitely not the same human scent that I was use to. I let out a low growl and his eye flashed fire in my direction. He understood!

"Seth!" Sam shouted to snap me out of the stare down and I noticed that the man wore a paramedics uniform.

"Aleksei? Is my daughter going to be okay?" My mom asked hopefully.

"It will depend on if the doctor's could stabilize her breathing." He sounded sincere, but that was not the answer my mother was looking for. "I have to get back on the road, we just got another call." He looked up at the paramedic approaching us. My mom nodded in response and Sam helped her stand up.

I watched as the stranger rushed out the door with perfectly coordinated movements.

"Did anyone tell Jacob and Embry?" I heard Quill in the background.

"No, they were nowhere to be found." Billy answered.

It felt like we were sitting here for hours. The pale blue paint on the wall created a cold, sterile atmosphere and matched perfectly with the grey linoleum floors. I watched nurses and other hospital workers drag their feet across the bare hallways. I never realized how depressing it is to work in a place where everyone is sick or dying.

"Sophie is in recovery and doing well." The voice of Sophie's doctor broke my trans and I realized that I was the only one still sitting and not crowding around the newcomer. "She can receive visitors, two at a time. She may be disoriented when she wakes up and may have some memory loss, but we won't know for sure until the anesthesia wears off completely."

"What about Leah?" My mom asked.

"She's still in surgery; her injuries were much more severe." The doctor explained the situation in more detail, but I stopped paying attention. My focus was turned else were, to the two tall figures approaching us in all haste. I've never seen Embry look so pale, Jacob wore a matching expression and I recognized Embry's mom trailing 15 steps behind them.

"Embry, Jacob,… where have you been?" Billy asked.

"We went for a run… we were up to Prince George BC when we felt it, the energy blast. It almost knocked Embry off of a cliff." Jacob explained. Embry's mom went over to mine and gave her a sympathetic hug. Sam pulled Embry aside and was getting him up to speed on what happened.

"So, who's first?" the nurse interrupted and my hand shot up in the air like I was in grade school. She smiled and waved me over. "Anyone else?", Chogan stepped forward and we both followed her down the hall.

The head nurse pointed us in the direction of her room. I wanted to run but at the same time I was afraid of what I would find. I pushed open the door and surveyed the room. It was meant to hold two patients and I was hoping that Leah would be the one resting next to Sophie once she was out of surgery. I was able to hear the shallow breathing and weak heart beat behind the curtain separating the two beds. With one swift movement I pushed the curtain aside and my heart stopped at the vision before me.

A mix of emotion went through me and I quickly took Sophie fragile hand. A warmth traveled up my arm enveloping my heart and securely binding it to hers. I felt my pulse quicken as she became the center of my being and the light of my life. The warmth spread through my veins, infusing itself into every empty space and suddenly I felt whole.

I don't think I have ever been happier, I imprinted on Sophie! I didn't care how impossible that sounded but I knew that it was true. I've felt it before, through the thoughts of the rest of the pack when they thought about their imprints in wolf form. Back then these mushy feelings made me sick, but this time I reveled in the joy I felt.

My hand started to tingle. It felt like blood was rushing back into my palm after clenching my fist for too long. Suddenly I was feeling lightheaded and confused. I looked up at Sophie through now blurry eyes. It looked like the glow was returning to her skin and with one deep breath she opened her eyes but then everything went dark for me.

The sound of distant laughter brought me back to consciousness. I was laying in a hospital bed and Chogan was standing over me.

He laughed again and said, "Are you okay boy?"

"What happened?" I asked as I propped myself on to my elbows.

"Well, I definitely didn't think it was possible… but, I think you imprinted on Sophie." Sophie. That name was music to my ears and I immediately looked over at her, sitting and smiling in her bed. Her delicate face was all bruised and scraped up, but beautiful nevertheless. "HA! I knew it! You should see the look on your face Seth." He was excited about this new development.

"Are you okay?" Sophie asked and I nodded and sat up.

"Do you feel different?" Chogan asked.

"I think I imprinted…"

"You did, I can see it Seth." Just then I remembered that Sophie was able to see the imprint connections between Sam and Emily and the rest of the imprint couple. "It's brighter then I have every seen between anyone else." She smiled affectionately at me.

"I'll be right back I have to go tell the others", with that Chogan ran out of the room. I moved over to the side of Sophie's bed and sat on the edge.

"I told you, it would be okay, didn't I?"

"I thought I'd lost you for a moment and I never want to feel like that again." I gently ran my thumb over her cheek, ensuring not to put to much pressure. She lifted her hand to mine and squeezed it gently.

"Never again… I have a good feeling about this." She said as she leaned in to kiss me.


I KNOW! Crazy right? New imprints are possible!
But why? how? Who's next? Will Embry or Jake imprint on Leah?
And who's this 'Aleksei' guy? Vamp or something else?...

SO MANY QUESTIONS :P
