The Story of Sam Uley & Emily Young

Chapter 1

Emily's POV

I looked out the window of Leah's room and out onto the forest that was practically right outside of her house. The thick layer of tree's looked as though it went on for miles.

My mother and father had sent me to live with my Uncle Harry and Aunty Sue for the holidays while they went on their second honey moon. They had two children, the eldest who was Leah and the youngest who was Seth. Leah had been like my best friend since we were little, while Seth was always the quiet one who wanted to be left by himself.

I sighed and scanned the green forest. I bit back a scream as I saw something dash past my eyes. I blinked a bit before looking back out. But it was gone. I stayed there for another couple of minutes before sighing and telling myself that I was just imagining things.

"Em, you have no idea how glad I am to have you here" Leah said as she flopped down on her quilted bed. I smiled and turned around from the window to face her. "I thought I was going to be stuck here all holidays with only mum, dad and Seth for company"

"Their not that bad" I giggled. "Seth's getting more chatty, he was always the quiet one out of the Clearwater's"

"Argh, some days I can't shut him up" Leah whined. "He acts as though he's so popular at school, yet he only has two friends"

"Two friends are better than none" I said to her. "Anyway, how have you and Sam been?"

I saw the sparkle in her eye when I mentioned her boyfriend of seven months. Every time Leah called or e-mailed me she would go on for ages ago about romantic and handsome he was.

Although I hadn't met the guy yet I could tell Leah and Sam were in love and planned to get married soon after Leah got out of college. I'm surprise Uncle Harry even let Sam date Leah as Sam's 20 and Leah's only at the ripe age of 18.

"Sam agreed to stop by the house tonight just to meet you" Leah said. "He can't stay for long though, he has to go to work"

I giggled and looked back out the window, hoping to see the dashing object again. But instead I saw a large, black wolf standing there staring right at me. I gasped before turning away, hoping it was just my imagination playing up again. When I turned back, once again, the wolf was gone.

"Em, are you ok?" Leah asked me.

"Yeah, sorry" I said. "I thought I saw something outside in the forest"

"Oh, dad says it's dangerous in there and that there are animals out there that would attack anyone who came near them, blah, blah, blah" Leah said as she played with the small charm bracelet that Sam gave her on their two month anniversary.

"He's just trying to keep you safe, Le" I said as Aunty Sue walked in with some blankets while Seth carried the portable bed in.

"Here you go, sweetie" Aunty Sue said as she placed the blankets on the small chair that sat in the corner of Leah's room. "Can I count on you girls to set it up, or do you need some help?"

"We'll be fine" I said sweetly. "Thank you Aunty Sue"

"Oh Emily, you're such a dear" Aunty Sue said. "Would you mind rubbing some off on Leah?"

"Haha, you're so funny mum" Leah said as she picked at her nails. I smiled as they walked out. "I can't wait for you to meet Sam, Em. You're going to love him"

I smiled and nodded while I listened to my cousin drone on and on about school, boys and friends. But I couldn't get the black wolf out of my head.

I am defiantly going to have to ask Uncle Harry about that later.
