Chapter One
The Locket & The Wolf
The waves crashed against the sand, and rose up to our toes, the water was ice cold but I never really noticed. I sat next to my best friend, Embry Call. And in less than ten minutes I would be telling him goodbye. My parents were divorcing and I was moving to Texas, to live with my mother's family. I forced the tears back and squeezed the hand that was holding my own.

I didn't want to move, I had never liked going to Texas, not even when I knew we'd be coming back home to La Push. I loved living on the reservation, to be part of the culture that I was born into. I hated being different than the other kids on the rez though. I had a "pale face" mother.

So in that I had inherited her blue green eyes, and slightly lighter complexion than the dark copper one Embry had. Embry squeezed my hand to regain my attention. I turned my head and met his brown eyes. He looked sad. Of course he was, but there was nothing I could do. Both my parents had decided that it would be best for me to go with my mother.

"I'll miss you" he whispered, squeezing my hand again, his eyes began to fill with tears.

"Don't cry, Em," I whispered back to him, the water was rising higher, and the tide was beginning to come in. I stood up, pulling him with me. "Here, take this" I said, pulling the hand that I was holding up, I pulled a silver locket out of my pocket and placed it in his palm, closing his fingers around the locket. "Keep it with you always, it has a picture of us inside of it, and this is how you can remember me."

"I can't, your dad gave you this.." he started, I put my fingers over his mouth. He nodded, and put the locket in his pocket, pulling out similar chain, he held it up for me to see the charm that hung from the silver chain. A silver wolf. Our tribe was said to have descended from wolves, I had heard the legends over and over a million times.

"It's beautiful, Em" I whispered, turning around I lifted up my hair and let him clasp it around my neck. I ran my fingers over the wolf.

"Something to remember me by, Chari" He smiled when I turned around. At only ten years old, we were old in our years.

Embry and I had been inseparable since the day we first met. When Embry's mom had asked my mom to baby-sit while she worked. Embry's mom Angela was a single mom, Embry didn't know who his mom was, but everyone in town had suspicions. I sighed, I would miss everything about La Push, even the gossipers.

"CHARITY!" I heard my mother yell across the reservation.

"I gotta go…" I said softly, I wrapped my arms around Embry's neck for the last time. He pulled back and then it happened. Our lips met, and a spark made us both jump. My fingers touched my lips when we separated. My first kiss.

"CHARITY, LET'S GO, NOW!" I heard the order in her voice, as my mother once again called for me.

"No goodbyes…I'll see you soon" I said, before pushing my lips against his once more and then taking off toward my house, where my mother was waiting in the car, impatiently.

"About time.." she said when I reached the car and buckled myself in.

"Yeah…" I murmured, my fingers caressing the wolf that lay against my chest.

So, what do you think so far?
