My Destiny.
I hope you enjoy my first story of Embry imprinting.
Chapter 1.
Tamaya's POV
Welcome home Tam. After nine years in living in Georgia, Atlanta I can finally say those two words again. Welcome home. Ever since I was a baby I lived in La Push, Washington with; my mom Nora, my dad Ikan and twin brother Mika (I know, strange names but they're Native American, so I guess that's a plus). But when I eight years old my dad got an amazing opportunity for his dream job, which meant moving from my home, my paradise. However, now we're back!
My dad left his job saying that he and mom weren't happy in Georgia anymore, which was also kind of sudden. But he said that he wanted me and Mika to get more involved with our tribe again, especially since my Uncle on my mom's side is Billy Black, and his late wife (my aunt Sarah) was Quil Ateara III also known as Old Quil's niece, who are both on The Elders Council, which makes; Mika, my cousin Jake, my second cousin Quil (Jr) and I teenage royalty on the Res . Anyway, we couldn't be happier to return to our precious reservation.
Most people would jump at the chance to leave La Push behind, but not me. It's always cold, it rains almost every day and if it doesn't, then it's a god damn miracle. But I was heartbroken when my parents told me and Mika we were leaving my sacred haven…
"Tam's!" Mika screamed in my ear. I obviously screamed because he ruined my inner dramatic moment.
"What the hell, Mika!" I hissed through my teeth
"We're home, Bitch!" I couldn't help but laugh at the cheesy grin plastered all over him face.
"Mika!" My mom chided. "Don't swear!"
"Whatever, mom. We're home!" He cheered.
"Yeah, yeah Mika. We get it. We're home." My dad said calmly.
My dad turned on to a dirt drive that was shared between two small wooden houses. Probably some of the very few 2 story houses on the Res, most of us just live in a one story house. Even though they're smaller, they're cosier. The house was medium sized and a deep red colour with a dark brown trim and has some of the paint peeled off round the edges. I loved it.
As soon as my dad cut the engine, Mika and I were out that car like bats out of hell and running up to the door.
"Dad, can I have the key!" Mika and I said at the exact same time. We have moments like that.
"No way squirt! I'm doing the honour of opening the door! I'm older!" Mika exclaimed smugly.
"Nu-uh! You are older by one minute! And don't call me squirt! I'm 5.7 which is only 2 inches shorter than you!"
By this point we were play fighting, I jumped on his back and scuffed his head with my knuckles.
"Kids! The door is already open!" My mom shouted from inside the door way. (Whilst my dad took a photo of us by the way).
"Awwww!" We moaned.
Mika trudged into the house carrying me on his back. I got off his back when we got into the kitchen where our parents were.
"Okay, your bags are by the stairs take them upstairs and pick your rooms. The one at the end of the hall is ours." Mom said.
Me and Mika looked at each other and took off up the stairs, grabbing our bags and shoving each other on the way up. I got to the second bedroom in the upstairs hallway and mentally jumped up and down cheering. It was the second biggest bedroom after my parents with the walls painted a deep sunset red, the ceiling a sunset orange, the floor a wooden mahogany and bonus! An en suite.
"Dibs!" I shouted to Mika. He came running down to see the room, and groaned.
"Not fair!"
"Tough luck brother!" I said smugly and he scowled.
Shortly after dad came up and helped us put together our beds, wardrobes and drawer. And then we were left to ourselves to put away or belongings.
It was now 5:00pm and I as finished and eager to go to first beach. It's my favourite place on the Res and I've missed it more than anything, apart for my cousins; Jake and Quil. I was also told by Jake via email that my cousin Rachel is back in town and I can't wait to see her! I always knew she found it hard to be in the town where her mom died and where her dad got paralysed in a car accident they were in and left as soon as she could along with her sister Rebecca who is now after a few years happily married in Hawaii to a surfer (sooo jealous). But Jake says she happy here now with her boyfriend Paul Lahote, which I could tell that Jake isn't happy about that arrangement.
I ran down stairs to find my mom unpacking the last of the kitchen utensils.
"Mom, dad, can I go to first beach please!?"
"Have you done unpacking?" Mom asked
"Yep, all done!"
"Fine, but be back by eight o'clock so you can get everything ready for school tomorrow."
"Okay. Where's Mika?"
"Where do you think?" She asked raising her eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes and walked in the front room to find my brother sprawled over one of the couches. Asleep. What a surprise! I walked back into the kitchen to my mom.
"I'm gonna go. I got my cell so call me if you need me."
"Okay sweetie, see you later." She says and kisses my cheek.
I quickly run upstairs and grab my dark brown leather jacket and run through the front door. First beach is only five minutes down the road from where we live so I got there quickly.
It hadn't changed. James Island in the distance, the blue gray ocean and the white peeled driftwood trees. I got teary looking at my surroundings. I have never missed one thing so much in my life. I looked further down the beach which was sparsely populated apart for the few people here and there, but the main people who stood out were three tall, muscled, shirtless Quileute men.
To say they were hot is an understatement! They were probably the most gorgeous guys ever. Two of the three had cropped hair which is unusual for La Push since all guys and girls usually have long hair, and the other had slightly longer hair that sweeps across his forehead in a Justin Bieber type of way but it completely works on the Quileute man. Now that I looked closer I could see they were play fighting whilst playing a game of soccer. Oh well. I guess guys never grow up.
I walked a little closer to the water and sat on a driftwood root that had twisted up from the ground and slouched against the tree behind me. I don't know how long I sat their twisting my long natural dark brown hair around my finger contemplating how the hell Mika and I would get through the next day when all of a sudden.
A soccer ball slams against the side of my head.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
Next on is the imprinting!
