As the snow was falling on the cold, November ground I was preparing myself to move to my old hometown of La Push, Washington. I was already here but it didn't seem real to me, but one thing was for certain I was excited to see everyone that I left behind and also my father who is now my only parent since my mother passed away a year ago of breast cancer. I was so worried about rather or not my father would miss me like I missed him, but regardless of me living all the way in Montana and my father living here, he's always tried his best to be a part of my life and he really did play his role raising me no matter how many states away I was.
I got into my dad's large four door truck and he looked at me with the biggest smile ever on his face, my father was part of the Quileute tribe. My father paid tribute to his Pacific Northwest in anyway most do, my father sticks to his ways and his ancestors that's what I love about him. My dad was a big hunter, he always taught me that you cant always rely on grocery stores to supply your food, but he was also the biggest softy there possibly was. Whenever my mother left my dad, she took me and left my brother Paul. My brother became a werewolf at just sixteen, following in my fathers footsteps and protecting those of our people. I've always been so close with my brother and all of his friends, but one of them I really stayed in contact with and that's Jared. Jared has always been my favorite, even with me moving so far away we managed to stay in contact with texting, calling, and video chatting. Plus, I am his imprint and everyone knew it so it wasn't such a huge deal when we told everyone how close we are. Paul accepts and so does dad, they loved Jared and I was so nervous to see him in person since it's been well over six years since I last visited Washington.
"Paul is on patrol right now, I wasn't sure about your classes. I figured since you're graduated high school you would be interested in going to our community college here, I want you to stay close to your roots and also make a future of yourself. They offer nursing classes, figured that would be something you'd be interested in," this was already getting off to a good start considering my dad was never accepting of my dream of becoming a registered nurse but I'm happy he's finally coming around. "And your car came in already, its waiting at the house," I smiled and we pulled into the driveway and there stood everyone I remembered from here; Sam, Emily, Leah, Seth, Embry, Quil, Jacob, Paul even, and my Jared. Jared was the first one I ran up to and wrapped my little arms around his neck. I stood at just 5`1 and Jared was 6`3, so me wrapping my arms around him meant nearly jumping on him in the process.
That night we decided to have a little dinner with all of us and we even had a bon fire and talked about our ancestors. It was such a hard topic to really talk about, we held grudges against others for coming on our territory and ruining us but I know dad has always truly held a grudge against vampires because one killed his first born prior to getting married to mine and Paul's mother and having us. I didn't think much of it, I disagree exactly with keeping grudges but Paul and my father was more alike where I'm more like my mom. I could not hold grudges against anyone, honestly I didn't see the point because it doesn't change things one bit. But on the plus side, Jared and I was finally spending more time together and I couldn't be even more happier than I was right now. He even walked me home from First Beach and hugged me goodnight, and I can seriously say that I went to sleep with the biggest smile ever on my face for the first time in a long time.
