Rachel Black and Paul Lahote Love Story

Chapter 1 First sight

Rachel:

I was walking around 1st beach with my little brother, Jacob.

I don't know why but for the past few days I've been getting this feeling that Jacob and my father, Billy, have been hiding something from me.

We walked in to the little gift shop at the beach, owned be one of Jacob's best friends, Embry Call's, mom. Embry and Jake's other best friend, our 2nd cousin, Quil Ateara V, and a few other boy's where standing by the cash register.

"Hey Jake," Embry called from behind the counter.

The other boys turned around and greeted him… all but one a tall muscular boy who look as if he was angry with something someone had said, just stared at me, and the angry look on his face changed. It was almost a longing but yet blank stare. Then Jacob began to growl at the boy.

"You didn't!" he said with an angry but shocked expression on his face. "Paul! I can't… she's my sister!"

"Well, this is awkward," Quil said turning slowly back to face Embry and looked down at his hands resting on the counter.

"No kidding," Embry replied.

The boy's face turned angry again. He was giving Jake a look that said "do it and I'll rip your head off." But for what reason I did not know. What did Jake mean? Why was this boy looking at him that way? Did it have something to do with whatever it was Jake and Dad was keeping from me? I was so confused.

I wanted to say something, to ask Jake what they were talking about. But if it has to do with whatever they're keeping from me then I shouldn't. I mean I'm sure Dad has a reason for me not to know, and the only two people Jake has ever told all his secretes to were Embry and Quil, so I knew he wouldn't tell me. But I just had to ask.

"Jake, what's the matter"

"Nothing," he said though clinched teeth.

I looked back at the boy, who was looking from Jake to me back to Jack.

"Jacob, calm down and get away from her before you and Paul do something stupid," the boy standing between Quil and Paul said.

"Yeah Bro, Jared's right, it's not worth anyone getting hurt," Embry said. "Mom, can you take care of the register for me, I'll be back in a few!"

Wait… Jared as in our second cousin Jared Cameron, no way…. I couldn't believe how much he's grown, as well as Embry and Quil.

"Okay, but hurry."

"I'll try." He walk over to Jacob, grabbed his arm, his expression argent, "Jake calm down. C'mon let's go to the woods. Paul, you to. We'll explain everything to you latter Rachel. It's really great to see you again. Maybe now Paul won't be such a pain in the neck."

At that last statement I was really confused. What did Embry mean by 'maybe now Paul won't be such a pain in the neck'? I decided that it had to do with whatever they were discussing, that made Paul so angry, when we entered the shop. I stayed behind as they walked straight into the woods. Jacob running. Man, I never knew Jake could run that fast. i noticed Paul was still standing there. His expression was a combination of angry but yet… loving. Then he too ran out the doors to the forest. What the heck was going on? Why were they acting so strange? And why did Paul keep looking at me like that?

Paul:

Embry was beginning to irritate me. Why didn't he just tell his mom already? Isn't he getting tiered of always being grounded? I mean really!

"Come on Paul! I can't just walk up to her and be like 'hey Mom guess what I've been keeping from you for the past year? I'm a werewolf and that's why I'm always sneaking out.' I mean really Paul that's a great idea… get me a one way ticket in to a mental institution! I don't think so!" He yelled the last sentence.

"Embry what have I told you about yelling in side"

"Oops! Sorry Mom, a little irritated here."

Just then the door of Embry's mom's gift shop opened.

"Hey Jake," Embry said to the new comer.

We turned around, but it wasn't just Jacob standing there. With him was a tall, not as tall as Jacob, who was now about seven and a half feet, but tall, with long beautiful black hair and dark eyes. When I looked in to her eyes I got this strange feeling, and began to see things that don't exist… yet. The feeling was like strings on tons of thousands of balloons were being cut and re-tied to one thing, the girl standing in front of me, but they weren't strings they were iron chains. I felt as though I'd never be able to breathe again if she wasn't with me. Like the world will stop turning if something happened to her. Like I just opened my eyes for the first time. And these things I began to see was a girl in a beautiful white dress walking down an aisle with her dad, who was in a wheelchair, and three black haired kids with dark eyes. It was my future. And the strangest thing was that I didn't feel so angry anymore.

Then I heard a sound that brought me back to reality. Someone was growling. It was Jacob. His body was trembling slightly with rage.

"You didn't!" he said with an angry but shocked expression on his face. "Paul! I can't…. She's my sister!"

His sister? What is he talking about? His older twin sisters moved. Rebecca got married and moved to Hawaii and Rachel went to Washington State University. Did she graduate early? Did she really come home? Then I realized something. Jacob. Trembling. Rage. He was so close to her. He was angry with me.

Quil and Embry said something but I couldn't hear them I was so worried that Jacob would hurt the beautiful girl standing next to him.

The thought of him hurting her made me angry again. I wanted to attack him. I wanted to get him away from her. To stand between them so she was safe.

I looked back to the girl, she look confused. Like she had something she wanted to ask. Then back to Jacob, who was still trembling.

"Jake, what's the matter?" she finely said. Her voice was as beautiful as she was. I wanted to say something funny so I could hear her laugh too, but I was too angry with Jacob. Gosh she was beautiful.

"Nothing" Jacob finely answered her.

I looked at the girl again then back to Jacob. Was he going to phase? Gosh, I hope not. Well, a good knocking-down-trees fight sounds great but not here. Not with her so close. Maybe if he hadn't spent three months as a wolf, leaving all humanity behind, and hadn't nearly ripped that leach Edward Cullen, to shreds at the bloodsucker-lover Bella's wedding, nearly hurting Bella in the proses, thin maybe I wouldn't be so worried, but he did. Oh wait a minute he didn't nearly hurt her, he did hurt her, I forgot about the fact that he death griped her arms to the point of bleeding. Oooohhhh why did I have to remember that, now I'm really angry!

"Jacob, calm down and get away from her before you and Paul do something stupid," I heard Jared say.

"Yeah Bro, Jared's right, it's not worth anyone getting hurt," Embry said. "Mom, can you take care of the register for me, I'll be back in a few!"

"Okay, but hurry."

"I'll try." He walk over to Jacob grabbed his arm, and said in a calm but argent voice, "Jake, calm down. C'mon let's go to the woods. Paul, you to. We'll explain everything to you latter Rachel. It's really great to see you again. Maybe Paul won't be such a pain in the neck."

Wait… what? Me a pain in the neck? Hmmmm… well if this is true then I'm going to have to try not to be around this gir- Rachel. The others were already out the door. I wanted to stay. To answer all her questions but I was still angry with Jacob, I had to go. I reluctantly followed them. Jacob in the lead. Man, he's gotten faster. Guess three months as a wolf did him some good with his speed, not that he was slow, next to Leah he was the fasts wolf in the pack. Wonder if he is faster than her now.

What was I saying? I'm still angry with him why was I complimenting him without really complimenting him? Wait did that even make sense? Complimenting him without complimenting him? Hmmm? Yeah it dose… I think. Good thing Jared can't hear me right now, he'd be coming up with all kinds of snag remarks… then I'd have to punch him in the face. The thought of that made me laugh quietly so the others couldn't hear me.

When we were safely hidden in the woods, were no one could see or hear us, Jacob stopped and turned to face me.

"YOU IMPRINTED ON MY SISTER!"

"Jake you know as well as any of us we have no control over who we imprint on," Jared said.

"IF YOU EVER HURT HER IN ANY WAY, PAUL, I SWEAR TO YOU I'LL… I'LL…."

"You'll what?!" I couldn't help but say.

"I'll… I'll…" he sighed, "I don't know…. But don't think I won't think of something."

"Yeah. Sure. Whatever," I said. "Besides you really think I would… no, could ever hurt her!"
