NO! I do NOT own Twilight. Nor will I ever own Twilight and its characters. I wish!

This is a story that has been playing in my mind for a while now and I haven't had the time to actually put pen to paper (per say) and type this story up because of the busy happenings on. But - I wanted to write this story because at the end of the Twilight Series we never really get to know if Embry ever imprints and on who. So I saw this as an opportunity to take things into my own hands and take this into my version of events.

If you haven't already, please checkout my other Twilight stories:
Stay Close; Don't Go

Cry of the Black Wolf

Thank you and please read and review!

It had been how many years since Maya met Jacob? Too many to count. And now they have kids – who've imprinted. Hell most of the whole damn tribe has imprinted…except for Collin…Seth is still waiting…Quil; pfft, he has Claire. The Royal Family as I so lovingly call them have imprints. Maya and Jacob; Leah and Maddox; and little Jayla and Werewolf Wesley boy. It's like everyone is getting paired off all around me. Hell even the vampires have partners…probably they've had each other for centuries…except for Bell and Edward. And here I am…Embry Call with no one. But still a very hyper member of the Quileute tribe. Quil hasn't been for a while. Since Claire will age and he figured that if she wants him to grow old, he will. Me, I don't have a reason to grow old yet.

I was over at Jacob and Maya's house. Even if we are mentally middle-aged-ish. We're still physically two seventeen year olds. We still fixed cars together, which has become kind of a business for us. It's kinda been sucky though, we haven't had business in a while…mainly because we look too young to know what we're doing. But our customers know otherwise. We were fixing up Maya's beloved Cadillac that she fixed herself when she was only sixteen with Old Man Makah. "Dude, I can't believe that Maya, your Maya fixed this car"

"I know" he nodded "it's kinda awesome having a wife that has the same love of cars and motorbikes as you"

"Don't it get annoying though? You don't have anything to yourself"

"I do" he nodded "but it's nice to have someone to share the stuff that you like with"

"Ew" I rolled my eyes

"Trust me dude, when you get an imprint…you'll know" he nodded

"And since when is that ever going to happen? Two generations of Quileutes have already passed and I still haven't imprinted yet. 'dox and Jayla have been with their imprints for like what? A year and a bit now. You and Maya have been together for god knows how long…"

"It will come dude" he said as he hit me on the back "be patient will ya? Edward had to wait for Bell's for ninety something years almost"

"I'm not planning to wait that long" I answered

"I know, you're impatient"

"Shut up" I said as I through a wrench at him. It didn't hurt him, hell we do feel pain but it didn't cause that much damage. "I just don't see what the big deal is"

"You'll know when it happens"

"And how long have I been waiting for that to happen?"

"A while" he answered "but…like I said before…it'll hit ya when you least expect it"

"Oh I'm sure" I rolled my eyes

"Hey guys" and there she was, Jacob's wife – Maya. Still beautiful as the day I met her, she was someone I kinda wished I could imprint on. There was a secret crush that was going on for a while – but I knew it was her and Jacob. It was always going to be her and Jacob. Hell I've even said it so many times to Jacob that I think she's hot. He didn't seem to mind…at times. "How is she going?" she said as she looked inside the hood of her Cadillac. God, that thing was older than all of us.

"She's alright, just needs an oil check and her spark plug fixed"

"Thank god, and here I thought it was something serious" she smiled "and how about you Embry? How are you going?"

"Can't complain" I shook my head "still young and what-not"

"I can see that" she smiled at me "found anyone that has caught your eye lately?"

"Maya" Jacob hissed at her

"What? Just asking" she looked at me.

"Unfortunately…no"

"Embry…you have to get out there and start meeting people. If you lounge around in the garage all day with Jacob, you're never going to find your imprint"

"And here Jacob was telling me the opposite. He told me to wait" I looked at her

"Oh" Maya looked at me "well there is that too. I mean, when it comes down to it…it happens when you least suspect it"

"Joy" I rolled my eye "at this rate I'm going to be Edward"

Maya looked at Jacob like I had said something that was foreign to her "Translation babe, Edward had to wait ninety-something years until Bella came along"

"Oh" she looked at me in realisation "you're not gonna wait that long Embry" she said as she hugged me "trust me"

"Embry, unleash" Jacob looked at me. He was right, sometimes I held too long onto Maya.

"Unleashing" I said as I let her go.

"You're a great guy; someone is bound to come along" Maya said as she walked into the house "well I'm gonna go now, the salon awaits" she said as she kissed Jacob on the lips "see ya, Embry" she smiled and headed back into the house.

"Is she always seeing the bright side of things?"

"She's like that" Jacob nodded "but you need that, when you know – you start thinking sucky thoughts"

"Yeah" I nodded. I wonder if that's how it's going to be when I find my own imprint – will it really make things a lot better?

"Alright" Jacob said as he put the spark plug in place "done"

"Well done bro" I said as I grabbed the cloth and wiped my hands with it.

"Come on, we earned to rest" he said as he patted me on the back.

"Is it weird having the house to yourselves again?" I asked him as we entered the kitchen.

"Kinda is, it hasn't been this quiet since Maya was pregnant with the two – but Jayla and Maddox are both grown up. Maddox is with Leah where they have a house together – but they drop by on occasion, or Maya forcibly takes me to their house because she misses her son so much…" he began "and Jayla and Wesley are living in France…it broke Maya's heart when she found out that they were going to live there for a while"

"Why France?" I asked

"It was Wesley's birthplace before they moved to Volterra and became you know – Volturi involved"

"Ah" I nodded "little Jayla and my godson, hard to believe that they're grown up and living their lives"

"Kinda" Jacob nodded "but they're old enough to take care of themselves now. Maya and I both know that"

"But what's it like being alone again?"

"Weird, because you're used to the noise and hearing arguments between the two of them"

"Right" I nodded. That was the end of that conversation, I knew my bro missed them – and it was kinda hard for him to admit that because knowing him – he wasn't all in touch with his feelings. He was only like that with Maya. We spent most of our time watching TV and drinking beer until before you knew it – 5:00pm in the evening.

The door opened "Hey guys" it was Maya, she finished work. She entered the living room. "So this.." she said as she picked up the empty bottles of beer "is what you guys get up to, to kill time"

"You know it" Jacob said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Alright" she said as she headed toward the kitchen "I'm gonna start dinner, are you planning on staying Embry?"

"Nah its cool, I better get home anyway" I said as I got up

"Are you sure bro? There's always an extra plate if you wanna stay"

"Nah really, I'm gettin' tired. I'll stop by somewhere to grab somethin' to eat. But thanks for askin' anyway"

"You're always welcome here Embry" Maya looked at me. I hate it when she looks at me, because I just keep getting angry at myself for not imprinting on her.

"Thanks" I nodded "well I'm headin' off now" I said as I threw my keys up in the air.

"Wait! Drink driving! Not cool!" Maya looked at me.

"Babe, it was mainly me doing all the drinking"

"And where you put all that beer gut I don't know" she rolled her eyes "drive safely ok Embry?"

"Will do" I nodded as I headed out the door and went to my car. Probably thinking to myself that I will never find my imprint in any way shape or form. It's going to take a miracle for this to happen.

Please tell me what you think for the opening chapter! Thank you!
