Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, nor any of its characters. I will create some of my own characters as the story progresses.
It was a Tuesday in February, when I saw her. It was cold, rainy, and light was nowhere to be found. Or so I had thought. I didn't even realize that I'd seen her before, but that's for later in the story. I felt drawn to her energy. Something within her spirit connected her to me. I didn't know why, and I hadn't realized I'd followed her into her class. Thankfully, Literature was also my first class of the day. I took the seat next to hers, and tried, unsuccessfully I might add, to pay attention to the lesson. I wouldn't have even remembered the lesson if the poem we were studying that day, wasn't so important to her.
"How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the name of the poem.
I watched as each careful syllable fell from her lips. I listened as her soft voice read the poem aloud, her cheeks tinged with the slightest hint of a blush at the especially heartfelt parts in the poem. And when she had finished, her long soft brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, down her back, and shielded her eyes from mine. But not for long, if I could help it. Or rather, the wolf gene that makes imprinting a possibility.
Oh yeah, one small detail I forgot to mention. I, Embry Call, after a month long hiatus, has returned to the ever welcoming arms of La Push High. Please note the sarcasm. Upon entering my 1st hour class, I was met with 20 pairs of dark brown eyes. All eyes in the classroom on me, except for the only pair I had been waiting to see. The pair of eyes I unknowingly followed into this classroom.
The teacher droned on, and on. Finally, the bell rang and she was getting her things together for her next class when fate intervened. She had left behind one of her books. Now, since my Momma raised me right, I grabbed the book and walked swiftly after her. La Push isn't a big school so finding her standing at her locker wasn't exactly an odyssey.
"Hey, I think you left this behind." I said when I found her.
And then she looked up. Our eyes locked, or rather mine locked on hers. And now, I carried all the past, the present, and the future in my mind. I finally understood. This was nothing my pack brothers could have ever described. All my universe, all my heart, all my being was now held within the five feet and four inches of this tawny eyed, copper skinned girl. And she didn't even know it.
I will be whatever she needs me to be. A friend, a brother, a protector, and if she gives me the privilege of loving her, she will be the sun of all my days. I've missed her all of my life. Even before the change that made me a wolf, I knew one day that our souls would be melded into one. Yet I didn't know her name, but something within me told me of where she came from. I just didn't understand that part yet.
Intense right?
