This is my first Imprinting story, so please, be nice!
I know that I said I wouldn't have this story up for a while, but I really wanted to get it up. So here it is!
I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1 – Forks, Washington
"Remus," Cassie said tiredly. "The plane's about to land."
"Oh, thank God!" Remus moaned, clutching his stomach.
Cassie cracked a small smiled, "You alright there, Moony?"
Remus glared at her, "No, Cass, I'm not. You know I hate heights."
"Just makes it that much easier to tease you."
Remus growled and glanced out the window. "Shit!" he gasped, his eyes flying straight ahead.
"Why do you keep glancing out the window if you're going to do that?"
Remus glared at her.
Cassie held up her hands in defense, "Down, boy! I'm joking!"
Remus grumbled under his breath.
"Welcome," Remus said proudly, as they drove down the dirt road. "To our new home!"
Cassie looked and her eyes widened. "Wow…" he breathed.
Just up the road, there was a large, two story house with a large from and back yard.
"How did you find this?" she asked.
Remus grinned, "I've become friends with the chief of police. He lives just down the road. He and his daughter should be stopping by soon."
They parked in front of the house and stepped out of the truck.
"C'mon," Remus said. "Everything's already moved in. I'll give you a tour."
The house had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, a living room—two, white couches, two arms chairs, a coffee table, and a flat screen TV—it even had a music room for her. It had a baby grand piano, a violin, and—
"My guitar!" she cried, running over to it. "I thought I left it at the Burrow!"
Remus grinned, "I knew how much it mean to you, so I brought it here."
"Thank you!" she sat down on the piano bench and strummed a few cords. She closed her eyes in contentment.
Remus smiled—a little sadly—and leaned against the doorframe.
About five minutes later, they heard the honking of a car horn outside the house."
"That'll be the Chief," Remus said. Cassie nodded, put down the guitar, and stood. They walked out of the front door, to see a police cruiser parked behind their truck in the driveway.
A man of about forty and a girl of about eighteen stepped out of the car. The man had thinning black hair, brown eyes, and a kind face. The girl had long, wavy brown hair, warm brown eyes, and a kind face, like her father.
Remus and Cassie smiled politely at them.
"Chief Swan!" Remus greeted. "It's nice to see you again."
Chief Swan shook Remus' hand, "Likewise, Remus. And how many times have I told you to call me Charlie?"
"Sorry," Remus apologized. "Charlie, Bella, this is my goddaughter, Cassandra."
"Call me Cassie," Cassie said, shaking both of their hands. "It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise," they both said.
"Cassie," Charlie said, "This is my daughter, Isabella."
"Bella," Bella corrected.
"Won't you come in?" Remus asked.
"that would be wonderful."
Remus and Charlie went into the living room to talk and Cassie and Bella went into the music room. Bella's eyes saddened a bit at the sight of the baby grand, but she quickly recovered.
"Thank God!" Cassie said, picking up her guitar. "I thought I was going to suffocate from all the formality going on out there."
Bella laughed.
"You play piano, violin, and guitar?" she asked.
"Piano and guitar? Yeah," Cassie answered. "Violin? I… actually don't know why he put that in here."
Bella laughed again.
Cassie strummed a few cords, "Do you play anything?"
Bella shook her head, "I've never had any real interest in music. But I guess that, deep down, "I've wanted to play piano."
"Really? I could teach you, if you want."
Bella perked up, "Really? You would do that?"
"Well… yeah, if you really want."
"That would be great!"
They sat in comfortable silence while Cassie strummed her guitar and hummed.
That silence was broken when Bella asked, "Are you going to the high school?"
Cassie shook her head, "I'm going to be home-schooled. I think Remus thinks I'm gonna be kidnapped."
Bella frowned, "Pardon me if I'm being too personal, but why does he think…?"
Cassie hesitated and shrugged, "We've been through a lot in the past few years and he's become a bit… protective."
Bella nodded, "Where'd you come from?"
"Surrey," she answered easily.
"Ah," Bella nodded. "That's a long way away. I moved here from Phoenix last year to live with my dad when my mom got married to my step dad. He's a major league baseball player and he moved around a lot. Mom had to stay home with me and became sad because Phil was away all the time. So I moved here."
Cassie smiled a little sadly.
"Forgive me if I'm being too personal, again, but why are you living with your godfather?"
"My parents died when I was little. At first, I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle and cousin, and then I was sent to Remus."
Bella nodded, "I'm sorry."
Cassie shrugged, "What's past is past."
They sat and talked for the rest of the afternoon, and became fast friends.
"Are you sure you wanna teach me to play piano?" Bella asked. "I'm kind of hopeless."
Cassie laughed, "Have you still not wrapped your mind around that?"
Bella shook her head, "You'll chunk me out after the first thirty minutes. I'm hopeless."
Cassie rolled her eyes, "Come over tomorrow after school and we'll start."
Bella grinned and hugged her, "Thanks!"
"Cassie?" Remus called from the living room. "Bella?"
"We're in the music room!" Cassie called back.
Remus and Charlie walked into the music room and smiled.
"Bella, we need to go," Charlie said. "I'm sure that Remus and Cassie would like some more time to get settled in."
Bella nodded and stood.
"It was nice meeting you, Cassie," Charlie said to her.
"Likewise," Cassie nodded.
"Bye, Cassie!" Bella said, hugging her new friend. "I hope you like Forks!"
And here's chapter one! I hope you all enjoyed!
