Brooke's POV
My Mom died in a car crash. Stupid deer just HAD to jump out right
in front of her and scare her into swerving and hitting that tree. That
tree just HAD to be weak and crush the car and her gas tank just HAD to
burst into flame and that day iust HAD to be 3 weeks before my 14th
birthday. When my Mom died she left me a letter in her will telling me
about a half-brother named Sam Uley who lived in La Push Washinton. She
said I had to leave my father Josh Uley and go find him. She said it
was for the best. I of course fufilled her dying wish and now I am on a
bus ride to La Push from the Seattle air port. 1 hour to go. 1 hour
until I meet my older brother who didn't even know I existed.
My name is Brooke Uley. I am 75% Quilliette and I am pretty skinny
for my age group. The doctors say it is unhealthy but I don't listen. I
actually eat a lot for a girl my size. I'm 4''10 and 13 years old. I
have blonde curly hair and emerald green eyes from my mother who was
only 50% Quilliette. I may seem shy at first but once I get to feel
comfortable around you, I am loud and obnoxious. I know about cars and
sports. I was on the cheerleading team, field hockey team, volleyball
team, lacross team, track and cross country team, swim team, and
basketball team. I am a tomboy but I did dress like a girlygirl most of
the time.
And that led me here. Standing in front of my brothers house to
scared to ring the doorbell. Its now or never I thought to my self and
I rang the bell. I heard footsteps come down the stairs and then the
door openedand I was face to face with my brother. Sam.
He was huge! he was at least 7 feet tall. He had really big muscles.
He was shirtless and wearing sweatpants and looked like he just got out
of bed. I looked at my watch and realized it was 4 in the morning. I
didn't mean to wake him up. I didn't realize the time, Just then a
women with three scars down one side of her face came up beside him.
the scars made her even more beautiful in my opinion. This must be
Emily. Sam's fiance, she was also in the letter my Mom gave me and she
also described the love triangle between her and Sam and a girl named
Leah so I had to be sure I didn't mention that. I also knew he was a
werewolf and had a pack but I didn't know their names and my mom had
never mentioned anything except they have short tempers and start to
shake before they are about to phase. My mom had a private investigator
pull up information on Sam but the only reason I know about the
werewolves is that my ass of a Dad told me the legends and told me and
my Mom that they were true.
"Are you Sam Uley?" I asked
"Yes...who are you?"
"My name is Brooke...uhm Brooke Uley. I'm well your 1/2 sister. My Dad
is a jerk and stuff happened a week ago so I packed my bags and came
here. My mom knew about you and told me that if I was ever in trouble
to come here and you could protect me. My Dad well our dad I guess did
things...but I don't really want to talk about it," I saw his shocked
face, "I didn't mean to impose. I'm sorry I can leave I just didn't
know where else to go. I'll just go you can pretend I was never here."
I was about to walk out the door when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me
into a bear hug.
"I have a little sister!" he all of just shouted in my ear
"Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up I didn't realy know what
time it was. I just wanted to meet you. I always knew I had a brother
but dad never told me anything so my Mom hired a private investigator
to look into you and I'm going to guess that the gorgeous women behind
you is your fiance Emily. Am I right?"
She giggled and nodded and stepped foward to give me a hug. "I'm
actually his wife now. We got married 3 weeks ago!" I squeeled and gave
her a hug.
Sam looked at me and asked me why my mother wasn't with me.
"Oh she died last moth...A car accident."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it-"
I cut him off, "It's fine she's in a better place away from Josuah."
"What did he do to her?" Sam asked
"He beat her and raped her...than when uh she was gone..he did the same
to me." I winced at the last part. I didn't want to tell him about it,
but I felt he was my brother so I had to.
Sam started to shake. I knew this meant he was about to phase so I put
my hand on his shoulder
"Sam calm don you can't phase here. You might hurt Emily...again." I
told him
He immediatly stopped shaking and looked at me like I had 3 heads. "How
did you know that I'm a..."
"A wolf? Yeah my Dad told me the legends and told me they were true and
when my Mom said in her letter that Emily had 3 scars from a bear
attack and you "saved" her I knew you phased to close. But seriously I
bet you still haven't forgiven yourself and I bet Emily forgave you a
while ago. And, I know it's hard cause she's your wife and stuff but to
have to let it go. It was in the past Sam."
He sighed and nodded sadly. I realized we were still in the front hall.
"So you going to invite me in or what?" I joked. He immediatly realized
we were still in the front hall and apologized and brought my duffel
bag to their guest room that he said was now my room. I lied down in
bed trying to fall asleep and the last tthing I thought was that I only
knew my brother for 2 hours, but I already loved him like I knew him
for a lifetime.
