"I don't usually drop off in these parts." the bearded taxi driver told her.

"Oh? Why not?" she asked politely, keeping a firm grasp of her luggage next to her.

"No one really asks to be. The people in this area keep to themselves." he revealed. This was news to her.

"It never used to be that way." she muttered. When she was younger, people used to visit LaPush all the time. The greenery and the beach was a tourist attraction.

"What you doing around here anyways? If you don't mind me asking." he pried. She smiled widely.

"I'm here for my brother's wedding." she said softly.

When she was 12, he mother had suddenly sent her away to a boarding school in L.A. When she started, she couldn't wait to leave. She came home every chance she could. Then when her parents couldn't afford it anymore, she had to stop coming home so often and then after time, she stopped coming home at all. When her parents died suddenly in a car accident, the funeral was in the middle of the semester and she was forbidden to leave. After that, she didn't really want to go home. She started renting an apartment in L.A and got herself a job as an assistant carer for the elderly in home. A few weeks ago, she got a phone call from her old school; they had received mail addressed to her. The envelope contained an invitation to her brother's wedding. As soon as she got home, she called the RSVP number on the invitation and spoke to the bride-to-be. She was told all about the wedding and was asked to come home for a while. After hanging up the phone, she packed her things and left for LaPush.

"This is the place." the driver informed her. She shook herself out of her day dream and quickly thanked the man and got out of the car. After a few unsteady breaths, she shakily walked to the door. She knocked quietly. Her outfit consisted of a knee length white jersey dress, a denim jacket, a brown braided belt that sat above her hips and faded brown boots. 'Maybe I should have changed.' she pondered while brushing her clothes down and smoothing down her long chocolate hair. A voice echoed inside, getting closer and closer to the door. Her heart was pounding inside her chest. 'I hope he recognizes me.' she thought as the door knob jiggled and the door began to open. With a final deep breath, she smiled. The man behind the door froze in shock when he saw his baby sister all grown up and on his door step.

"Hi Sam." she beamed at her older brother, taking in that he hadn't change at all. His hair was still randomly spiked, he was still a foot taller than her, and he still had the same face that screamed 'authority figure'.

"Dawn?" he said, taking in how much his baby sister was no longer a baby. Her hair had grown longer and she had finally grown into her 'duck lips' that where way to big for her face as a child. She had changed so much; she looked like an adult now. Dawn nodded in answer to his question. It was definitely her. He lunged forward and wrapped her into a tight bone-crushing hug. She yelped in shock as his arms locked around her tiny in comparison body. He jumped back hearing the noise. "I'm sorry, your just the last person i had thought it would be." she smiled at her.

"It's okay, but now you know it's me, are you going to invite me in?" she asked cheekily. They both chuckled nervously as he stepped a side and let Dawn into the house. She smiled seeing all the family pictures on the walls from her childhood. She thought it nice that her tiny face was repeatedly plastered on the walls of his home.

"Are you planning on staying for a while Dawny? I have a spare room you could stay in." he suggested. She turned and smiled widely at him.

"I would love to stay Sam, thanks." she said. He rushed past her and went up the stairs with what little luggage she had brought. 'This place is beautiful.' she began looking around, letting her finger tip lightly brush over everything as she walked past it. She walked past the stairs that Sam had ascended and into another room. She took a sharp breath in when she found several shirtless men sprawled across her brothers living room. She stood in shock in the doorway.

"Hey there." a soft female's voice greeted Dawn from the bottom of the stairs. She swiftly turned and looked in the direction of the voice. "I'm Emily, Sam's fiancée. Your Sam's sister, Dawn?" she asked as she held out he hand. Dawn reached out and gently shook the hand in front of her.

"Yes, I am. I think we may have spoken on the phone yesterday?" She asked, double checking her facts. Emily nodded and beamed at her. Dawn's shoulders relaxed as Emily's smile calmed her.

"Let me introduce you to the boys." Emily turned Dawn and shuffled her into the front room by her shoulders. "Guys," she softly raised her voice, the gentle grin never faltering on her face. "This is Sam's younger sister, Dawn." Dawn reluctantly waved before Emily began introducing everyone to her. "This is Quil, Embry, Jacob, Jared and Paul." they all nodded in my direction. All staring. Dawn gulped. "Seth, the baby, and his sister Leah are out at the moment. You'll meet them later on." Emily revealed. 'Wonderful. Just what i wanted. Even more names to remember.' "Sit down Dawn, Sam should be down a minute. Would you like something to drink?" she offered.

"Just a glass of water please.'' Dawn squashed herself into the only available spot between Jacob and Jared.

"So, Dawn, if your Sam's sister how come i haven't seen you around here before?" Quil asked her, curiosity clearly getting the better of him.

"Umm, well, I was sent to boarding school when i was 12 and i stayed down there when i finished my final year." she told him, quietly. She kept her hands in-between her legs and shrugged her shoulders up and her head buried itself into her neck. It would have been clear to anyone she was uncomfortable in the situation. Clear to anyone but the guys. They all nodded, acknowledging her reasons for not being around. She kept her head down but she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. She could feel them but she didn't want to turn and look at who it was. None of the pack had noticed Paul was being so silent yet, but it was only a matter of time until they did.

"Here you go." Emily came back into the room and held out a large glass of water for Dawn. "Jared," his head whipped up and looked at Emily before he jumped off the couch and sat on the floor. "Thanks sweetie." she said whilst ruffling his hair. Dawn smiled as Emily sat next to her on the couch, taking Jared's place. "So, how was your trip? Wasn't too tiring was it?" she asked.

"No, no.'' Dawn took a sip of the water in her hands."It wasn't bad actually." she told her.

"That's good." Emily flashed a warm smile. "So how old are you now? If Sam is 28 that makes you..." Emily began to work it out but Dawn interrupted her calculations with the answer.

"I'm 22. 23 in October.'' she told her.

"31th right?" Dawn nodded. "A birthday on Halloween, I'll bet that makes for an interesting party, huh?"

"I wouldn't know. I've never had one." Dawn whispered, slightly ashamed of the lack of experience she had had with such events. She had a prom where she went to school, but her best friends didn't want to go, so she didn't go either. Instead, they stayed up and watched old romance movies in their pyjamas, eating cookie dough ice cream and crying every 20 minutes. Emily noticed how she seemed quiet and shy around everyone.

"Okay, every one out now." this notion caused all the pack to whine at her. "Go home. You spend too much time hanging around like flies. Go. Shoo." she told them. Dawn giggled a little as they grunted and grumbled while getting up and walking towards the door. Those eyes where still looking at her. She felt the owner to the eyes move across the room and towards the door. She glanced up at the door and saw him. Paul was looking back at her with his glittering ebony eyes. He was stunned at the sight of her tawny wide eyes. He knew what has happened as soon as she had walked into the room. The others would soon find out, but Dawn was momentarily oblivious to the fact the she was looking at her soul mate. Paul had imprinted.
