Author's Note: For those reading this story for the first time, this really won't mean a lot to you :). But for those of you who have read my story before, this is the new and revised version of my first chapter. My Beta edited it and I think it's so much better than my first chapter, thank you aerius_auphora66! It still has the same plot and everything, just more details and stuff. I of course don't own Twilight, the amazing Stephenie Meyer does but I do own the new characters. :) Oh yeah, I am a strong believer in Edward and Bella so that's why I chose to write about the werewolves because most of their stories weren't described and for Embry his imprint wasn't talked about so I am not destroying the happy ending that Stephenie Meyer had...sorry Jacob and Bella fans. I hope you guys like the story!

Chapter 1: Port Angeles

Georgiana's POV

I sighed as I walked past the stores of Port Angeles. Christmas decorations were already being put up, despite it the early date. -It was barely Thanksgiving. Lights were crawling up every other street lamp, along with a bit of tinsel here and there. I paused to look through the window of a shop when my cell phone went off, causing me to jump. I pulled out my cell phone and flipped it open.

where r u?, the text message read.

in america, I replied, rolling of my eyes. I shut the phone as soon as the message was sent and eagerly stuffed my hands back in my coat pockets. It was cold.

My little sister, Alexa, was always a worrywart…okay, more like protective. She has been like that ever since I got lost in the city, taking the wrong bus and ending up more than an hour away from home. -It wasn't like it was my fault…well maybe it was. I wasn't really good with street names or anything like that. If people were to ask me for directions, I'd tell them to turn where you see that statue and keep going until you see the pink house with a lot flowers. I know that's bad, but hey, we have GPS now. How lost could I get?

Although, I guess I could remember the street names if I paid enough attention. -The key word being 'if'. With that thought in mind, I looked around in search of familiar scenery that I could identify. No such luck, I was lost. Again.. Great job, Georgiana, way to go.

hey kid im lost, I texted quickly and then pocketed the phone.

I could imagine Alexa doing her little growl that she does when she's frustrated and nervous. I shuffled to the edge of the sidewalk as a couple passed, not wanting to be in anyone's way. It didn't take long for my phone to interrupt my thoughts.

stay where u r tell me the st. names, Alexa ordered.

Ugh. I took a quick look around, but couldn't read any signs -they were too far away, the streets weren't exactly small. I frowned at the flow of people; I didn't want to walk into the crowd just to read some signs. I looked in the opposite direction and saw that the shops were turning into warehouses. There weren't any people to push through over that way. At the end of the block, I saw some street signs and ran towards them.

roseberry and meberg, I informed her.

Talk about weird names. Clouds formed as I breathed a tad deeper than normal -running wasn't much of a strain on me. I adjusted my glasses so they weren't sliding down my nose.

k im coming with the car

Oh yeah, that's another thing about me. I don't drive. I was seventeen years old but still didn't drive. In fact, driving freaked me out. Even when I was in the passenger seat, I would hold on tight to the handle on the side door as if it would keep my dear life from leaving me. Sometimes I'd even cut myself with my nails from holding on so tight. My little sister on the other hand, had been very eager to risk her life on the roads. She had even practiced driving before she got her permit..

All of a sudden, a scream cut through the air. I jumped at the sound and looked around for the source, but didn't see anything. The scream came again, and I realized it was a girl crying out for help. Without hesitation, I began to flat out sprint, pocketing my cell phone. Determination burned in my veins, making me run faster through the maze of warehouses.

I came to an abrupt halt when I saw a man beating up a girl. She was sobbing and desperately trying to make an escape while protecting her face from his wrath. Anger surged through me, hot and fierce. So maybe I was afraid of driving, but if somebody was hitting someone else…Watch out buddy because I'll kick your butt!!

Embry's POV

I couldn't believe I was dragged -no more like tricked- out by Kim to go Christmas shopping for Jared. I wouldn't have minded if she did a quick shopping thing, but no. She had to go to every store in Port Angeles all because the gift had to be "perfect." Seriously, come on now. It didn't matter what Kim would get Jared. As long as it was from his imprint, he'd take dog poop. Well, okay maybe not.

"Come on Embry! Gosh you're worse than an old man Christmas shopping." Kim huffed impatiently as she was leading me to yet another store. Hard to believe that Kim was once shy and quiet. Oh how I missed those days.

"Then why'd you ask me to shop with you?" I replied tersely, even though I knew I wasn't helping her patience any by purposely walking slow. The shops were stuffy and I wanted to hang around outside in the fresh, crisp air for as long as possible.

"You have a car." Kim answered, sounding as if it was so obvious. Or at least that's how it sounded in my ears.

"Oh please, Paul has a car."

"Yeah, but then he might get angry at me, and do something, then Jared will get angry at Paul, then Sam will cut in but by then it will be too late -cause everyone will be fighting."

"Oh. I never realized you were such a pacifist."

"Shut up." Kim mumbled, her cheeks darkening a bit.

Another four steps were taken before Kim pointed out a store she wanted to go into. I opened the door for her and the overpowering smell of decorative, cinnamon pinecones assaulted me. I grimaced as I followed her inside.

"Embry, you don't have to stay," she said with sympathy after seeing my expression.

I stared at her as if she had grown a head. Jared would kill me if I left her alone, especially where there could be vampires roaming around.

"Just go-. Oh my gosh!"

I whipped around, scanning the area to find the danger. My muscles were coiled tight, ready to defend.

"I found the perfect gift!" shrieked Kim.

I relaxed. Leave it to Kim to be dramatic.

"I'll be outside, it's hot in here." I told her, and then I laughed when I received an eye roll.

I hurried out of the shop, keen on breathing fresh air as soon as possible. After a few deep breaths to revive my sense of smell, I positioned myself in front of the window. I watched people go in and out of shops, for the sake of something to do while waiting. I winced when a child began to throw a tantrum across the street. The kid was loud. And judging the expressions of the surrounding people, it wasn't just me with my sensitive ears.

It was taking a while; did Kim find another perfect gift?

Suddenly there was a scream, a cry for help. I looked around to find the area of panic, but there was none. No one else on the street looked even remotely alarmed. The girl screamed again and I realized that she was too far away for these loud and busy people to hear her.

I glanced through the store window, debating if Kim was safe enough to leave alone. If a bloodsucker was making that girl scream, then there was a chance that there was another one looking for something to eat…I took a deep whiff of the air. There weren't any traces of sickeningly sweet smells other than those too-strong pinecones that the shop had. Gag.

I bit my lip and began walking down the street as fast as I could without looking inhuman or drawing suspicion. Oh man, Jared was going to kill me for leaving Kim. I began to run as soon as I reached the end of the block. I followed the trail of scent; one male and two females, one girl smelled nicer than the other and it was her scent that had been placed only minutes ago.

By the time I got to the alley, I saw that another person had felt the same obligation as I did. To my surprise, that person was a girl. Her back was to me and I could see that her frame was small -not that her size was stopping her from beating the living daylights out of the guy. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, and everything else faded away.

"You freak, don't you-!" -Kick. "Ever-!" -Kick. "Lay a hand on her again!" Punch.

Whoa. I doubted I had ever seen a girl so angry. "Hey, um, I think you should leave him alone before he presses charges against you." I said with a chuckle, but there was an edge of worry to my words. I sincerely hoped that the guy didn't press charges.

She slowly turned around to face me. Her heart shaped face was framed by long wavy disheveled black hair that fell to the middle of her back. Her skin color was light tan, I wanted to reach out and touch her skin, and it looked so soft and without blemish. Through the lens of her rectangular glasses, her sky blue eyes locked with mine.

My breath hitched and my heart began to race. She was amazing, beautiful -no, she was so much more than that. 'Amazing' and 'beautiful' were the understatements of the century, they didn't do her justice.

"Hopefully he won't be able to talk," she said evenly, adjusting her coat so it wasn't slipping off of her shoulder. She didn't look injured, much to my relief.

However, the relief quickly turned to irrational over-protectiveness. Didn't she know that she could have been hurt? That what she did was dangerous? She should have called the police instead of risking her well-being!

She was observing me with a weird look.
