Walking in Sunlight

by dreamerwriter15

When a girl with a special power is found in La Push, it is unclear at first who she is or how she ended up there. However, a vampire is after her and her power and is intent on turning her. When Embry imprints on her, she thinks that she is safe, but she has no idea how much power she holds.

1. Chapter 1

I ran through the woods as fast and as far as my tired legs would take me. I didn't know if I was still being chased, but I knew that I had to keep running. Unfortunately, the adrenaline that had kept me going until now was starting to wear off.

I hadn't realized just how cold it was in Washington in mid-December. I had run out of my hiding place without grabbing my jacket, and I realized now just how cold was. My fingers ached, and I shoved them under my arms to keep them warm.

I had to keep running until I reached the border of La push. I knew that I would be safe from my pursuers once I was inside the reservation. I was familiar with the stories, and I knew that they were true. I knew they were true, because the ones after me were cold and as hard as stone, extremely beautiful, and their irises were bright crimson. I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they were the Cold-Ones that I had read about in my book of Quiliute legends that my best friend had given me. Her name was Amber and she was a native Quiliute. She had given me the book to entertain me, but I used it as a guidebook after my family was attacked.

I knew well the stories of the shape-shifters who took the form of wolves and defended La Push from the Cold Ones, and I knew that once I was in La Push, I would be safe.

I heard them after me, but I kept running. I knew that I was in the reservation when they stopped following me, fearful of the shape-shifters. The fight or flight response kept me going for longer than I had to, and once I cleared the tree line, my legs gave out and I passed out exhausted in a roadside ditch.
