Blind Faith

Chapter 1

Seth was born blind and never followed the rest of his friends into the pack. Jacob was a closeted gay wolf who had a secret crush on his former best friend. What happens when the wolf is out of the bag?

Sixteen year old Seth was sitting in his room the only light coming in the window was the moon's dim light every now and again as the clouds passed over. His fingers gracefully running over the raised words. Playing softly in the background was the radio currently playing Moonlight Sonata. Sighing Seth carefully closed his book and placed it on the night stand. It was nearing midnight and as if on cue the young boy heard his sister's light foot falls past his room.

'Where do you go?' Seth thought to himself yet again.

It had started not long after their father had died. At first Seth didn't think much of it as he knew that she liked her own space. Hell he knew he liked to be on his own from time to time. Often at night both the Clearwater kids could hear their mother's quiet sobs coming from her room as she mourned the sudden loss of her husband. Seth missed his father the one person who believed that the young boy could be as normal as any other boy encouraging him to try whatever he wanted. Now no one seemed to have time for him.

Five minutes later the sounds of a wolf howling filled the still night. Soon it was followed by another one. This one sent shivers down Seth's spine it sounded so sad and lonely, just like himself. Again there was silence except for the normal nightly sounds from the forest. Getting up Seth closed his window as the sound of rain started to hit the roof. Seth's sense of smell was heightened and he loved nothing more than the smell of rain. But with rain normally came the cold. Not bothering to close the blinds Seth crawled into bed and soon he was asleep as usual he dreamt of wolves.

"Morning." Seth grumbled as he stepped into the kitchen to get his breakfast.

"Oh Seth good your up. I have to go into work early this morning and Leah has already left for work. I've asked Jacob if he could pick you up and take you to school." Sue said shuffling around the kitchen as she prepared for work.

"Mom you shouldn't have. I can walk."

"Seth it's pouring out and besides since Colin and Brady have left school there is no one that can walk with you." Sue kissed her sons cheek as she headed to the back door.

As soon as he heard the back door close Seth put back the milk and grabbed a can of soda and leftover pizza from the pervious night. He checked the time on his watch and quickly shoved the cold pizza in his mouth and ran up the stairs to get ready for school. Jacob had left school two years ago and since then Seth had hardly heard from his once close friend. Seth didn't blame him though as they had nothing in common any more. Jacob was all about cars and girls. Only Leah knew that Seth held no interest in girls not since he met Edward Cullen who had given a recital at Forks town hall.

After the performance Seth begged his mother to let him meet the talented musician. His voice was as smooth as he music and the two ended up sitting and chatting for nearly an hour. When it was time to leave Edward kissed Seth's cheek and hoped they would meet again. Sadly that never happened. Every now and again Seth would get a CD in the mail with new work that Edward had been working on. Seth had hoped that he would call and asked if he would like to meet for a milkshake or something but, as yet it never happened.

Seth heard the sound of Jacob's car pulling up outside. He grabbed his school bag and checked he had his homework. Before he had even stepped out of his bedroom he was wrapped in strong warm arms. The young boy gave a yelp not having heard anyone enter the house. For someone so large Jacob moved with ease and grace that surprised Seth.

"Sorry Seth couldn't' resist." Jacob chuckled.

Seth quickly hugged his friend and pushed him away already feeling himself get hard. Jacob had the most delicious scent other than Edward Cullen's. He knew that Jacob didn't use expensive aftershave his scent was more earthy like the forest. Where Edward's was almost unworldly. Swinging his bag over his shoulder he made to leave his bedroom only for Jacob to grab hold of his arm.

"There's a bonfire tonight. Why don't you come?"

Seth shook his head. The last time he went to the tribal bonfire he felt uncomfortable among the tribe. Sure they all knew he was blind since he had been since he was born and raised in La-Push but somehow it seemed different. Or rather they did. He no longer felt like he belonged. Jacob had to busy with Isabella Swan to give him the time of day and Colin and Brady were obviously busy chasing skirt. He had sat with his mother all night and couldnt' wait to get home. If it hadn't have been for Billy Black telling the legends of their people Seth would have asked his mother a lot sooner to go home.

"You know as well as I do no one wants me there."

There was a long silence. Seth heard Jacob take a intake of air and he knew that his one time friend was about to deny what he knew was true.

"Don't Jake, just don't. Come on I don't want to be late." Seth said making his way downstairs.

Once at the door he grabbed his cane and waited for Jacob to take his elbow and lead him to the car.

"Seth please come. You haven't been for ages and Billy is going to tell the legend's again tonight. I know how much you love them. Remember when we were kids and we used to go to the meadow and pretend we were wolves." Jacob chuckled.

Seth smiled he and Jacob along with Quil and Embry used to get their mothers to pack them a lunch and they would head to a clearing not far from the Clearwater house. It was big enough for Seth to run around without fear of running into anything before one of his friends stopped him. Jacob was always the alpha of the pack and would order the others to go and protect the lands from the cold ones. That all stopped when the older boys headed off to junior high leaving Seth with his own school friends. Often they would go to the beach rather than the forest. Of course that all changed too.

Jacob pulled up to the rez school and let the car running. "Thanks for the ride Jake. Might catch you around." Seth grabbed his bag and exited the car before Jacob could say another word.

Seth knew the school like he did his own home. Kids would run past not caring that Seth couldn't see them and would often get shoved or knocked over. Many times the teachers could be heard yelling at someone or other to walk and watch where they were going.

"Morning Jess." Seth said as he stopped at his locker.

"Morning handsome." Jess was Seth's best friend since she moved to the rez after her parents had split up. "Who was that guy that dropped you off?"

"Oh that was just Jacob. Hey did you do your history paper yet?"

"Damn it I forgot. Can I borrow yours?"

"Sure, sure." Seth pulled it out of his bag and handed it to Jess.

"Seth you know I can't read braille." Jess huffed.

"Then you will have to do your own work." Seth snatched the paper from her hand and shoved it back in his bag. He had the typed up version in his bag for his teacher and knew that Jess would ask for his help yet again.

"Mom is letting me go to the bonfire tonight if I can find someone to go with."

"Well don't look at me. I've been to enough to know the stories that Billy Black would tell. Why don't you ask Martin, he would jump at the chance to take you." Seth chuckled knowing that Jess hated the boy who made it quite clear he fancied the pants off her.

"Eww he's a pig. Come on Seth I can pick you up and will go together."

"Ugh why is everyone on my back about this damn bonfire. Fine I will go but we leave when the elders do. I'm not hanging around with a bunch of hormonal teenagers."

"Um Seth hon."

"What?" Seth snapped not meaning to already getting a headache before the day begun.

"You are a hormonal teenager." Jess giggled.

"Don't remind me. Come on we have music first and I want to practise that new piece." Seth said hooking his arm in his friends as they made their way through the school corridors.

Jess pulled up to the bonfire already there were about a dozen people there. Seth could hear and smell the fire already ablaze. The night was cool and even with his jacket on he was grateful that the heat from the fire would keep them warm. Seth got out of the car and waited for Jess to come take is elbow telling her to get a log before more people arrive so they didn't have to sit on the damp ground.

"Why is everyone staring at us?" Jess whispered.

"They are stunned by my stunning good looks." Seth snorted. "You're a newbie don't let them intimidate you. Novelty will wear off soon. Can you see a guy sitting in a wheelchair?"

"Yeah why?"

"That is Billy Black we should go and introduce you and shit." Seth said allowing Jess to lead him through the crowd. A few guys greeted Seth as he passed.

"Seth Clearwater what a pleasant surprise." Billy said reaching out and touching his best friends sons hand.

Seth hadn't spoken to Billy since his father had died and remembered now why. He sounded so much like his father. Fighting down the lump in his throat the young boy knelt down and let Billy run his hand through his long hair.

"Hey Billy. This is Jess Noble she has just come back to the rez."

"Ahhh Tilly's daughter. Welcome home young one."

"Thank you Mr Black."

"Please call me Billy." Billy Black put his attention back on Seth who was still kneeling before him.

Seth should have been a shifter like his sister or instead of his sister. However he was born without any eyes due to a drug that Sue had been given. No one had told her it was an experimental drug which had never got past the testing stage. Seth was one of the lucky few that had even been born. That however never stopped Harry Clearwater being proud to have a son. Who was a bright and happy boy. Seth never knew what had caused the heart attack that killed him and never would. If it hadn't been for Leah phasing in front of her father he may still be alive today.

"Seth come for dinner on Sunday. It's been so long and would love to catch up with your progress at school. Now run along before all the good seats are taken. Look there is one over by Jacob." Billy said patting the young boys head once again.

Jacob had watched his friend arrived and his heartbeat accelerated. Embry and Quil turned to see what had caused their friends heart to sound like it was going to explode in his chest.

"Wow she's hot." Embry said thinking that Jacob was looking at the girl who was with Seth.

"I guess." Jacob bent down and picked up his soda and turned his attention back to the fire.

"You should ask her out." Quil said nudging his friend.

"Obviously she is with Seth."

"Nah she is staring at you man." Embry chuckled. "Besides who would date a blind guy when they could have you."

Jacob growled. "What is wrong with you fucker."

"Whatever man. Come on Quil, Emily has the food ready." Quil patted his friend's shoulder before following Embry.

Everyone thought Quil was an idiot in the pack. The prankster which, most of the time he was. But he knew a secret that no one else knew. Jacob Black was gay and in love with Seth Clearwater. Many nights he and Jacob had the same shift and when the beta was tired his mind would open up for a brief moment and images of Seth filled his head. Quil never let his friend know he knew and intended to keep it that way.

As much as Quil liked Seth he knew that Jacob couldn't imprint on him since he would never be able to look him in the eye. Besides they imprinted to make the pack stronger. As yet Quil was wondering why he had imprinted on a two year old girl. As much as he adored Claire he wished he had imprinted on a girl his own age. At first he had tried to deny the imprint but the pull was to great and he has never looked at another girl since.

Jacob had heard everything his father had said to Seth and was going to make sure he was off patrol on Sunday night so he could spend some time with Seth. When Billy told them to go find a seat Jacob made sure that the log he was sitting on remain free, growling at Jared as he headed his way with Kim. The former beta took the hint and directed his mate towards the alpha and Emily.

They were halfway to him when suddenly Colin stopped in front of them and stared. Jacob's stomach flipped as he knew instantly what had happened. Colin had imprinted no doubt on Seth's friend. Before he could make a dick of himself. Sam grabbed the young wolf by the arm and dragged him away from his imprint towards the forest in case he phased. Half the pack followed leaving Jacob, Brady and Embry the only wolves at the bonfire. The rest all knew the joys of imprinting and would be there for their pack brother.

Brady sighed and shook his head. He looked over at Jacob and gave him a sad smile before turning to Embry who was too busy chatting up a girl to notice his pack brother had imprinted. Leah was out patrolling and she would not be happy that one of the cubs of the pack bet her to finding their mate.

Seth and Jess never noticed the drama that was going on right in front of them as they came to the log with Jacob on it. The beta stood and greeted them taking Seth by the elbow and helped him down to the log. After introductions Jacob waved Brady over he asked him to go show Jess the food table and grab a plate for Seth while he was at it. Careful not to touch Colin's imprint Brady introduced himself and led the newest member of the pack to the table explaining that he and the others would wait until the guests were finished.

Billy watched his son carefully. The moment Seth had arrived his whole body seemed to tense and his eyes never left Seth and Jess. At first Billy thought that his son might have found his imprint but that was foiled when Colin imprinted on the girl.

"Oh Jacob." he sighed.

Think this is worth continuing? I have decided to not finish Slave to You since only a few people are interested. I will do the same to this if they aren't either. Just trying to give you guys something to read. Anyway let me know.

Cheers
