A/N: Some is mine. Not all of it.
Set in Eclipse.
Some language. The girl's from Miami.
Chapter 1
I sighed as I passed the border into La Push. It was so different than Miami. The rain itself made me want to turn right around and drive back home to mom.
You can get through this Evelyn Dawn Black. Hell, you turned into a werewolf when you figured out your best friend was screwing your boyfriend! I thought to myself. I snorted at the memory. They were scared shitless.
I pulled my Dodge truck into our driveway and cut the engine. Four huge guys were standing in front of the house; I barely recognized one of them as my twin brother Jacob. I took a deep breath and stepped out of the truck. Well, more like fell because it was so high up. I was eighteen and 5'4, which wasn't that bad.
"Wittle Jakey Wakey's all grown up." I said, walking towards him.
He stopped in mid conversation when I spoke. He turned towards me and stared at me.
"Do I know you?" he asked.
I raised one eyebrow.
"You damn well better. I'm your twin dumb shit." I said, shaking my head.
"Lyn?!" he yelled, picking me up and twirling me around.
"Yep. Now please put me down cause you're suffocating me." I said, hitting his head.
He set me down and took a step back, appraising me. He hadn't changed much. He was almost seven feet tall, muscular, and didn't have a shirt on but he was still my big brother by five minutes.
I, however, had changed. I had on a black tank top that stopped right before my belly button, showing off the dangling silver. My jeans were tight, flaring out over my flip flops. My waist length black hair had pink streaks through it and I had five earrings in my left ear and three in my right. I started playing with my tongue ring when he didn't say anything. I saw his eyes zero in on my tattoos and then I decided to intervene.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, waving my hand in front of his face to get his attention.
"What happened to you?" he asked.
"I was introduced to civilization. I actually met new people." I said, talking slow and carefully like I was talking to a small child.
"Belly button rings and tattoos though?" he asked.
By now the others had moved into my line of sight. They were all dressed like Jacob and they were as tall as him.
"That's not all I have pierced big brother." I said, sticking out my tongue and moving my hair behind my ears. "And it's one tattoo that you can see when I'm dressed. Now, when I've got on a bikini or nothing on, there's a few more."
"Really now?" one guy asked, looking me up and down.
"Ugh, fuck you." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Anytime babe. You know where to find me." He said, laughing.
I stared at him for a minute before it hit me. I knew that laugh.
"Quil?" I asked, not believing it.
"Yep!" he said, laughing harder.
I started laughing and looked to the other guy that I recognized.
"Embry!" I exclaimed, he had changed a lot.
He smiled at me and I smiled back. I looked at the other guy and he seemed… I don't know, stern would be the right word I guess. He was frowning and staring at me and I glared at him.
"Get out much?" I asked sarcastically.
He looked surprised that I'd talk to him like that. Ha! He'd have to get used to it if he was going to be around me. I looked at Jacob to see him staring at me like I'd just grown three heads.
"What?" I asked, starting to get freaked out.
"You've phased right?" Jake asked me cautiously.
"Uh, if you mean turned into a huge hairy thing, then yeah. I caught my best friend and my boyfriend screwing each other in my apartment and when it happened they freaked! It was so fucking cool." I said, grinning.
"You're not freaked out though?" the guy asked.
"Uh, no offense, but when you live in Miami and walk the streets a few times, nothing can freak you out. By the way, what's your name?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Sam Uley." He said, his face thoughtful.
"Wait, Jake didn't you say that this guy was an ass from hell and that he was brainwashing other guys? Cause if this is him… well, I got a shot gun and a baseball bat in the back of my truck." I said, heading towards the truck.
"Shotgun?" Quil asked me as Sam turned to Jake and asked, "Ass from hell brainwashing people?"
I giggled as I grabbed my duffle bag and headed back towards the house.
"Well, it's been amazing talking to you guys. But, I wanna talk to my dad that I haven't seen in fifteen years." I said, walking up the steps.
"Wait." Sam said and I found myself unable to move.
I tried to move my feet but they wouldn't.
"What the fuck?" I asked, turning to glare at them.
"That's what we're trying to tell you. I'm your Alpha, the pack leader. You listen to my commands with no exceptions." Sam said, smirking a little.
"Sorry to disappoint, but I've never been good at listening to people tell me what to do. So, I think it best if you just keep your mouth shut." I said, going into the house before he could stop me again.
"Dad?" I yelled, throwing my bag on the floor.
My dad rolled into the living room and I hugged him.
"Thank you for coming home." He said, smiling.
"No problem. Mom couldn't stop me anyways cause I'm eighteen now." I said, smiling as well.
"I'm glad that you came. Did you meet the boys?" he asked, nodding towards the door that I had left open.
"Yeah. They're pretty nice. Except Sam, he seems kinda controlling." I said, rolling my eyes.
"What ever he does is for your own good." My dad told me.
"Yeah well, I'm not good with people that think they're in charge." I said, shrugging.
"You'll get used to it." Jake said, coming into the house.
"You guys heading to the beach?" Dad asked Jake.
"We're just waiting on Paul and then we'll take Lyn." Jake said, just as Quil shouted, "Paul's here!"
Jake grabbed my arm and pulled me outside. I saw Quil, Embry and Sam looking towards the forest so I looked too. A tall guy emerged and my heart stopped. All I could see was him; all I could think about was him. When he saw me he stopped. Sam was looking from me to Paul and then he smiled.
"Guess we got us another imprint couple." He said.
