Chapter one
"Iris faith!" I heard my father yell up our stairs. The social worker was coming today, to make sure everything was okay. Nothing here is okay, they are expecting me to lie, tell them I'm fine and I fell, or I'm clumsy. It's not right. I want out of here. I won't lie. I refuse too.
*SLAM*
I was rammed into the wall when I got to the last step.
"Listen here, Iris, you can either lie or get to live another day, or I will personally kill you" My father said to me. His face was a little too close for comfort.
"I won't lie." I told him glaring into my father's dark eyes.
*SLAM* *SMACK* He slammed me into the wall and hit me.
"You stupid bitch, you will lie, or I will kill you here and now, do you understand" He spat in my face.
His hands were now resting around my neck, and I could barely breathe. Then the heavenly sound came.
*Knock knock*
"She's here" My drugged up mother said walking to the door.
"Remember what I said you little bitch" He said and walked to greet the social worker.
I opened my eyes to see some the light from the rising sun shining in through my window. I groaned and looked at the clock on my night stand.
5:45 AM
Great. School starts today. First day in this small town, first day in this stupid new school.
SCHOOL*
I walked into my second class, and sat in the back after the teacher handed me my book.
"IRIS?" The teacher called
"Here" I said raised my hand. He nodded and started to call names.
"EMBRY?" He said again. That's the second class this Embry kid is in that I'm in. I wonder who he is…
"Hello" I heard someone say next to me
"Hi" I said back to this skinny brunette sitting in the seat next to me
"I'm Lauren Clearwater, you're Iris right?" She said and smiled
"Mhm, I'm Iris" I said and smiled at her.
"Cool! Do you need help getting around?" She asked me
"Uh, yeah kind of" I said and pulled out my schedule
"I have the rest of my classes with you!" She said and smiled at me
"Cool!" I said and laughed a bit.
*AFTER CLASS*
"So, Who is this Embry kid? He is in two of my classes so far" I asked Lauren
"He's a junior like us, he's very cute… no, wait, not cute, adorably hot!" She said and laughed
"Oh really?" I asked
"Oh yes!" She said
We walked into our next class and sat in the back
*AFTER SCHOOL*
"So, where do you live?" Lauren asked me.
"Over that way, with the Uley's" I told her and Smiled
I am Iris Faith, I recently lived in Seattle with my Parents, but got pulled out by children services. Emily and Sam Uley are my foster parents. I've been here for three weeks.
Emily is great! I haven't met Sam yet, but Emily is just awesome, she is a killer cook too!
"That is so cool!" " I live right up the road from them!" She said excitedly
"Cool!" I said
I'm happy I'm friends with Lauren, She seems pretty down to earth, but there's something about her, she has this look, it's like she's hiding something from everyone.
"Come on!" She said and we walked towards Emily's
"It smells like she's cooking!" I said and took Laurens hand and ran up to the small house
We dropped our bags in the living room and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Emily!" I said
"Iris, you're home!" She said and wrapped me in a hug
"Mhm, and I met Lauren at school, she's in most of my classes!" I said pointing to Lauren
"Lauren, how are you, when did you get back in town, I would have invited you over sooner to meet our Iris!" Emily asked then said
"Only for a few days." She said and smiled at Emily.
"The guys should be home soon, are you staying for dinner?"
"Sure" Lauren said and shrugged.
"Hey Em!" a few guys said walking into the kitchen
"Hey boys, where's Embry?" Emily asked them and looked worried
"Sam is still looking for him…" One of them said
Emily sighed and smiled at me.
"Iris, this is Quill, Paul, Jared, and Laurens brother Seth" She said pointing to each one
"Hi" I said and smiled at them. They nodded and said hi.
"Em?" Someone yelled
"Kitchen love" She said
"Hey!" the guy said "Where are new addition, I want to meet her!" He said and kissed Emily on the cheek.
"Right there" She said and pointed to me
"Iris!" The guy said and wrapped me in a hug and spun me around. Emily started laughing.
"It is so nice to finally meet you, I'm Sam, and I am very sorry for not being here when you got here, I'm looking for your house mate Embry, He's been staying here, and he hasn't been here in a while, and none of us know where he is so…" He said and let me go
"It's perfectly fine Sam, I promise! I understand completely!" I said and smiled brightly at him
"Good!" He said and sat at the table
"So where can we look next?" Paul asked Sam
"I don't know boys, we've looked everywhere in Forks, and La push…" Sam said
"Um… guys…" I started
"Yes Iris?" Sam said and looked at me
"Did you look in Port Angeles, or Seattle? I know a few good places for someone to hide out in, in Seattle… but Port Angeles isn't big enough to hide anywhere for long without being noticed" I said shrugging.
"That's a good idea, maybe this weekend you could show us in Seattle, and tomorrow we can look in Port Angeles" he said looking at me, then the guys.
They all nodded.
"Dinner will be ready soon, so why don't you go and hang out for a little bit." Emily said and shooed all of us out.
"Yes ma'am!" I said and smiled at her
She smiled, and kissed Sam on the cheek.
"Come on!" I said to Lauren and walked up the stairs.
"You are sooooo lucky!" Lauren said when I shut the door.
"Why do you say that?" I asked her
"Emily and Sam are amazing people, and you get to share a house with Embry! He is a doll! And super adorable!" She said smiling at me.
"haha! Okay, I'll believe it when I see it!" I said and smiled back at her.
"Whoa, what's that?" She asked pointing to my laptop bag on the floor
"My laptop!" I said and pulled it out.
"Ohmygod! Seriously?" She asked me looking at it.
"Yeah, My mom bought it for me, like last year I think for my birthday, that was the first and last thing she bought before buying drugs, or beer." I said and shrugged
"I'm sorry…" She said
"It's fine! I'm happy I'm out of there. I hated it there…" I said and smiled at her.
"So you like it here so far?" She asked
"Totally! I love it! It's small, cozy, and I love the people so far!" I said nudging her arm.
"Good! 'Cause you're stuck with us!" She said and smiled at me.
*3 days later- Saturday*
I woke up to the smell of eggs, bacon and sausage, I smiled and walked down the stairs.
"Embry, what were you thinking, you can't run off like that! Sam and the gang were worried sick about you! Not to mention you caused Sam to miss meeting our new house guest, hopefully in a few months she decides to stay forever, but that's beside the point, you haven't met her yet either, now where were you?!" Emily was saying to I'm guessing is Embry. I smiled and pictured her waiving her wooden spoon around in his face and poking him in the chest with it. That's what she does to Sam, It's pretty funny!
I giggled at the sight and walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning Emily!" I said smiling when I saw her wooden spoon in her hand on her hip and other hand on her other hip.
"Good morning deer, have a seat!" She said and got me a plate with some bacon
"Embry this is Iris, Iris this is Embry" She said and pointed to Embry
"Hello Embry, Welcome home, and you might want to hide Sam's coming" I said smiling when I heard Sam's and Emily's bedroom door open.
He laughed a little and sat at the table next to me.
"Morning Em, Iris, Embry" He said and kissed Emily. He looked at Embry and glared, then smiled at me.
"I just needed some time to breathe… I'm sorry" Embry said and thanked Emily for the food, and finaly answering her question.
"When did you get back?" She asked him again
"Last night, we had a meeting when I came home" He said shrugging. I smiled and rolled my eyes at his laid back-ness Lauren was telling me back
I looked up to see Embry staring at me, and Sam looking from Embry to Me.
*EMBRYS POV-Last night*
I ran through the woods behind a very PISSED OFF Sam.
Sam phased and walked onto the cliffs where everyone else was waiting.
Great, I'm going to get hit…
And I did. A few times. Ugh.
"So I have some ground rules boys." Sam said
"What?" Jared asked
"1. No Imprinting on Iris, She's been through enough with guys, and she doesn't need any of your asses shit to deal with too." He glared.
"2. Do not look at her the wrong way, do not mess with her, do not do anything even remotely offensive to or with her, she's fragile, and part of our pack. You hurt my daughter I will KILL you." He said and eyed all of us.
"Yes Sir" I said
"Good now, back to patrolling" Sam said and started to run back towards the woods
"Embry" He said.
I followed behind him and ran back to Emily's
*THE NEXT DAY!*
I woke up in the morning and walked down to the kitchen, knowing Emily would be up making coffee and getting ready to make breakfast.
"Morning Em…" I said walking into the kitchen.
"Morning Embry" She said and spun around to look at me
"Embry, what were you thinking, you can't run off like that! Sam and the gang were worried sick about you! Not to mention you caused Sam to miss meeting our new house guest, hopefully in a few months she decides to stay forever, but that's beside the point, you haven't met her yet either, now where were you?!" She yelled
I sighed when I heard a door open and someone walk down the stairs.
"Good morning Emily!" Someone said walking into the kitchen. I'm assuming is Iris.
I looked up from my Empty plate and froze. She was gorgeous. Shit.
I thought. Sam told us not to imprint… shit, shit, and shit. Sam is going to FUCKING KILL me.
"Good morning deer, have a seat!" Emily said to the small pale, raven haired, blue eyed girl.
"Embry this is Iris, Iris this is Embry" Emily said pointing to me.
"Hello Embry, Welcome home, and you might want to hide Sam's coming" Iris said smiling when she heard Sam and Emily's bedroom door open.
Fuck. I'm about to die.
I sighed, ran my hand through my hair and sat next to Iris.
"Morning Em, Iris, Embry" He said and kissed Emily. Sam glared at me, and sat at the table.
"I just needed some time to breathe… I'm sorry" I said said and thanked Emily for the food, and finally answering her question.
"When did you get back?" She asked me again
"Last night, we had a meeting when I came home" I said shrugging. I saw Iris smile a little and look up.
Sam was looking from both of us, while I was looking at her. Shit he knows…
"Embry, can we talk… OUTSIDE" Sam said the last part louder. I watched as Iris flinched a little when he stood up.
I wanted to see if she was okay, but I don't think Sam will allow this….
I stood up carefully and walked out of the kitchen with Sam.
"What's going on?" Sam asked when we got into the living room.
"I think I imprinted?" I said slightly confused
"WASN'T THAT MY NUMBER ONE RULE LAST NIGHT, NO IMPRINTING ON MY DAUGHTER?" Sam yelled at me.
"I'm just a rule breaker I guess" I told Sam and shrugged.
*SLAP* He hit me in the back of the head.
"Be careful with her Embry, if you hurt her, I swear you will die. Talk to her later." Sam said
I watched him walk past me towards the kitchen
"Hey Sam" I said
"What?" He asked and turned around
"She flinched when you yelled outside, and stood up…" I said
His mad expression fell automatically.
"Fuck." I heard him say
"What?" I asked
"After breakfast, have Emily show you her file… It's bad Embry…" Sam said and shook his head.
I nodded and walked into the kitchen to devour by now slightly cold food.
