A little While ago I read the Twilight series and found myself sad at Leah's lack of Imprint.
I don't own the Twilight series.
"Justin breakfast is ready!" yelled Elly from the other side of my door.
I groaned as I rolled myself out of my bed, "definitely hate mornings!" I mumbled to myself. Slapping on some Clothes I quickly made my way down stairs.
"Hey sleepy head, how'd you sleep?" called my Mother, Margret Canis.
I grunted and start sifting through the pantry, picking Nutri-grain I sat down and started eating.
"Any plans?", she continued.
I nodded, "Yeah, some guys from school invited me to the beach in La push".
Then I noticed Elizabeth come bouncing down the stairs, "I'm going to check out the forest!", she exclaimed.
Mum put her hands on her hips, "Not without your brother you're not!".
My mouth hung open with despair, "You've got to be joking me!?!".
She fixed me with a withering look, "She can't go alone and its only for a few minutes".
I slumped my shoulders in defeat, "Fine!".
Sighing I trudged on beside my sister Elizabeth, "You owe me for this!" I grumbled.
She just rolled her eyes in response.
Staring off ahead I began thinking.
Not a fortnight ago I was living in Victoria, Australia.
we went to a private school relatively nearby.
I had plenty of friends.
We had three pet dogs.
And it seemed as though nothing could happen to us.
Un-fortunately, unexpected things happen, like fires.
The extreme heat, coupled with the extensive fuel that Australian forests provide, caused Fire to spread at a terrifying rate.
Fire fronts opened up across the lower parts of Victoria.
And even though there was a fire nearby it looked like it was heading away from our house.
But then the winds of fate literally changed the direction of the fire and our house was taken, with barely enough time to get away.
After that it turned out our insurance had expired literally days before the fire.
With such a major loss, our father finally accepted the job offer in Seattle.
My parents being fussy, as they were, wanted to live in a small town like before.
Lucky for them they found a town a couple of hours drive away.
Forks.
My sister's voice shook me out of my thoughts, "Hey!, are you listening to me?".
"Sorry could you repeat that?".
She sighed then repeated, "Do you think there's any wolves out here?".
My sister has this thing about all things mysterious and/or mystical, especially wolves.
I chuckled, "I seriously doubt there are any wolves near the town".
And then just to spite me a wolf off in the distance howled.
Elizabeth stuck her tongue at me.
As we continued I glanced at her, "So how's school?".
She sighed, "Good I suppose".
"What's wrong?".
"Nothing".
This time I sigh, "Maybe I can help".
"It's just that…It's so different here!".
"Not…".
I Halted as I heard a wolf howl nearby.
I put my hand on her shoulder, "Let's go!".
I hopped out of Nick's van and stretched.
Nate snorted, "You ready Canis?".
I grinned, "I was born ready!".
The entire group got into their wet suits and grabbed a board.
I was never an avid follower of surfing by any means, but the few times I did surf I enjoyed and I was told I was pretty good.
As soon as a plausible wave came by Nate, Luke and I got on it.
After switching places with Nick I began to wonder down the beach, but before I was twenty meters away from the van Jasmine, Nate's sister, called out to me, "Hey Justin!, Where are you going?".
Turning around and walking backwards I answered, "I'm going for a walk".
"Cool, don't take too long we're leaving in about a half hour!".
Chuckling I replied, "If I'm not back by then call the President!".
After walking down the beach for a few minutes the sand became more and more populated, this must be the main beach, I thought to myself.
I noticed that most of the people here were Native Americans.
Then I thought back to the Trip over and how my Dad had told me that Forks was right next to La Push, which was a reservation populated by a Native American tribe called the Quileutes.
After a few moments I was broken out of my thoughts when I felt something collide with the back of my head.
Cursing under my breath I turned around to find a little 3 year old Quileute girl running to retrieve the Frisbee that was now laying in-front of me.
Bending down I picked up the Frisbee and handed to her, "Here you go".
She nervously smiled up at me and before I could say anything a large Quileute boy came bounding up, "Hey Sorry about that man!, I didn't see you!".
I stood up and smiled, "No problem, I didn't realize I was in Frisbee airspace".
This caused the little girl to giggle and in turn caused the guy to smile.
I extended my hand, "My Name's Justin Canis".
He glanced at my hand for a few moments and then shook it, "Quil Ateara".
He patted the girl on the head, to which she squirmed, "And this little monster is Claire".
I chuckled, "Your sister?".
He smiled and shook his head, "Nah, I suppose you could call me a friend of her Aunty".
I nodded, they must be a close-knit community, I thought.
After a few moments I decided to ask a question out of curiosity, "If you don't mind me asking, and this may seem kind of stupid, but do you get many wolves around here?".
Seemingly caught off guard Quil paused for a few seconds, "yeah we do, but no more than usual, why?".
"I was just wonder because…", I trailed off as I noticed a Quileute woman standing a couple of meters away staring at me.
She was taller than me, with black cropped hair and dark Brown eyes.
She wore shorts that came down to down to about half-way down her thigh and a black T-shirt that said 'Hard Rock Cafe'.
I was broken out of my trance when Quil spoke up, "Oh, I heard you'd be here today".
When he noticed she was still staring he grinned, "This is Justin Canis".
Then she smiled, lighting her face up, "Hey I'm Leah".
For anyone that's curious Lupus Diligo is Latin for The Wolf's Love and Justin's last name, Canis, is the group in the Animal kingdom that Dogs, Wolves, Coyotes and Jackals belong to.
