Hey thank you for reading this! I hope you enjoy it.
This is my first Twilight fanfic…..
Iszak Sully
Paul's POV
Empty silence. Not just empty, but dead. Like it is just before a battle of the forces. Us and Leeches. It had always seemed to me that when empty silence fell, the earth was holding her breath waiting for the outcome.
Only my outcome might not be what the world is looking for. Early today I was doing my own thing down on First Beach, when a wall running at full speed, crashed into me. Mind you it wasn't a wall at all…but the newest She-wolf in town. Her name is Mercedes Clydes.
Tall, only a few inches short than me, with thick black and blond hair. Her skin a dark olive color, and her face…. That I never got to see. I saw her eyes. And she saw mine. But the instant I looked at her and she looked at me… Something happened
The world stopped moving. Stopped breathing. My heart lost all its ties to the pack, my mom, Sam….everything. I would lay down my life at this girl's feet, if she would have it.
I jerked my thoughts back into reality and glared at the opposite wall in pure annoyance and disgust as the other member of the pack came tumbling in through Emily's front door. I had been relaxing 'til the pack just had to ruin it!
I stood and walked to the door which was blocked by Embry and Jacob. Who were wrapped deep in conversation not paying attention to the fact that I wanted to leave the house. "Jake did you see that chick?" Embry laughed, "she looked like she was gonna deck you boy!" I rolled my eyes and coughed. They ignored me.
"What chick? And what trouble have you two gotten yourselves into?" I asked, they started and looked at me before grinning. Jake's eyes lit up. Man I was in for a story why did I have to ask?
"You know the new girl, Mercedes Clydes?" Embry questioned, I nodded softly. Oh yeah I knew her. I saw her all the time at the store buying insane amounts of food for her and the two twin brothers of hers. Mercedes or Benz (as she likes to be called) sent butterflies attacking my stomach. She never came round us to talk and stuff although I wish she would.
"Yeah, what 'bout her?"
"Well…..Jake and I were out on our half of patrol when she literally ran in front of us. We chased her for awhile 'til she finally stopped running and phased back." Jake said.
"I started talking to her just polite calm 'nice weather' type stuff when Jake," Embry elbowed him hard, "started making the moves on her. Jake was flirting up a storm and what makes it worse is that she has an IMPRINT!" I flushed as anger coiled in my stomach. Jake had been messin' with some dude's imprint? I wouldn't have any pity for the boy if the guy came and ripped off Jake's head right then and there. So why did I feel like I wanted to be that dude? Why did I feel like I was that dude? My mind flashed back to that moment on the beach this morning. Oh shit!
"You messed with some dude's imprint?" I asked aloud getting the attention of Sam and a few others. "Jake, you truly are stupid! How'd you know if she'd been imprinted on or imprinted herself?"
"She said so." Jake said proudly.
"God Jake, you are an idiot!" I rolled my eyes and punched him in the shoulder and walked to the small table which Emily had so kindly piled high full of food for us. "You know Em, I'll have to repay you for this later on in my life…. Just remind me." Emily looked at me shocked by my "niceness" as I grabbed a warm roll sticky with honey butter on it. I sauntered to the couch with their words echoing in my ears making me sick.
"Jake," Sam spoke up, "who is Mercedes imprint exactly?" he voice my fears and pains for me. Wow Sam the only thing that you could ever do for me, thanks!
"No idea." Those two words washed over me, but so did the pain, relief but to top it all off all fear.
Why was I in pain! She wasn't my imprint was she? But then it wasn't normal pain…. This was mind numbing, deep ache, muscle ripping pain that torn and pulled at my heart, lungs and all my other vital innards. So maybe I was right about that moment.
"Paul?" Emily's soft worried voice asked. I looked up to see the whole pack staring at me, Emily and Rachel kneeling on the floor next to me. Rachel was holding on to my knee and Emily on the couch, with all the boys standing round behind them.
"I gotta go." I hissed under my breath and headed for the door. I pushed past Embry and Jake, who were both in complete shock and horror. "I'll be back…later. Much later. Don't wait up. And don'tfollow me." And right there not caring about my clothes or the fact that when I phased back that I wouldn't be wearing anything. I ripped my clothes and ran.
The night swallowed me, comforting me. I had to see Mercedes…. Even if she killed. Hey at least I would have died happy.
My paws pounded on the ground. I ran and ran not knowing where I was going but running seemed to help ease the god awful pain. But then my mind being it's stupid and hurtful self would flash back to Mercedes, and the pain would flare up again.
Mercedes' smiling, Mercedes laughing, picking up food. Frowning at me as I watched her. Her crashing into me, making almost fall backwards. That moment we looked at each other. Shook my wolf head clearing these thoughts from my sight but a little too late. Damn it. I hit the stupid tree and passed out.
