Let The Games Begin

"Let the games begin!" - Susan Collins


They were finally there, but something felt... off. Her boys were sprawled through the truck sporadically, their large bodies taking up more space than necessary. David sat directly behind her position at the wheel, his knees digging into the back of her seat with one of his arms hanging out the window. Jaden sat next to her with his seat pushed so far back that he was practically in Max's lap. Max was facing David, using the door as a backrest, and his long legs were draped over the other boy's lap. None of them looked very comfortable, but they all managed to sleep semi soundly in the cramped space. It was safe to say that the boys in the car wasn't why she felt... wrong?

She cranked her window down and sniffed. Everything out here smelled fine, like grass and rain and dirt. She tilted her head and shifted her body closer to the car door. She heard nothing other than the rudimentary sounds of nature; birds chirping, drops of rain hitting the forest floor, woodland creatures scurrying about. She listened harder and- there he was. A few yards within the tree line she heard a soft whining noise. Evan was out there keeping pace with the car and he wanted to know what was up with her. She took a chance and allowed her eyes to leave the empty road to look at the forest. Her tired eyes narrowed in concentration, but it didn't take long before she found him. The car was moving at 45 miles per hour, but the speed wasn't taxing on the boy. It was more like a jog to him. He whined again as if to ask, "What's wrong?" She sighed and shook her head before dragging them back to the road in front of her.

"Nothing I guess," She said quietly knowing he could hear her and not wanting to wake the other boys. "Something just doesn't feel right. We're about to enter the town, turn back and hop into the car."

He grunted his response and did as he was told while she pulled over. As soon as the car stopped moving the three sleeping giants' heads snapped up.

"What's happening?"

"Why are we stopping?"

"Are we about to eat?"

Evan chuckled at his brother's questions as he opened the passenger side door. "We're almost there, crawl in the back Jaden. I've got to ride into town with you all."

Jaden grumbled unhappily about needing a bigger truck, but forced himself in the back seat between Max and David.

"Now what were you saying about something not feeling right?"

"It's not that it doesn't feel right or wrong. It's the fact that there's a feeling at all that is bothering me. It's not good or bad. If it was bad I wouldn't take ya'll into town and if it was good I wouldn't have said anything. I just think she's trying to tell me that something is going to happen. Usually she's pretty straight forward and just talks to me. I don't know why she's being so damn cryptic now."

"Maybe she doesn't want you freaking out," Evan responded with a shrug. Taylor and her other half were an anomaly to him. He didn't know if it was because they were both girls or if it was because they were both so damn stubborn. Either way he never questioned either one of their instincts. "I suggest we all just be on the look out for anything suspicious."

Taylor nodded in agreement as she pulled into the driveway of their new home. It would be the first time that all of them lived together under the same roof and it she was beyond excited. She loved her boys more than anything and to be with them so often would be amazing. She popped the trunk and walked into the house, leaving the bags for the boys. This was the first time they would be seeing the two story house and she was looking forward to issuing rooms and responsibilities. She heard them lugging in the last of their things by the time she finished examining the house.

"There are four fully furnished bedrooms and five of us. Max and Jaden you both will be sharing the biggest bedroom, we'll go replace the full sized bed with two twins tomorrow. My room is the on this first floor right next to the bathroom. Evan you can pick whichever room you want out of the remaining two and David you've got whatever's left. Take your stuff to your rooms and meet me in the backyard in ten minutes please."

All the boys gave her obedient nods without complaint and went to go check out their rooms. Taylor grabbed her two duffle bags of clothes and retreated to her own bedroom. She threw fist full of clothes into random drawers with no type of order. It took her less than two minutes to unpack so she jumped in the shower for exactly three minutes. She had forgotten to bring a towel into the bathroom, but she didn't really need one. She walked from the bathroom to her room in the nude- it wasn't anything that all the boys hadn't seen before. She ran her fingers through her short hair and didn't bother brushing it before throwing on a pair of panties. blue jean short shorts and a tight, wife beater tank top. She figured there would be no turning for her today and that shorts wouldn't be a hindrance.

By the time she was done freshening up she had three minutes to spare so she grabbed her rarely used purse and got out a small, battered notebook. After fishing out a pen she made her way to the backyard to see that David was already there. It wasn't a surprise that he was there before anyone else, that was just the kind of person David was. Steadfast and dependable. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground and Taylor smiled as she plopped herself on his lap. He too had changed his clothes and she basked in the scent of his unperfumed laundry detergent and his natural smell. To her, David smelled better than any of the other boys and it was something he took pride in.

Evan came out about thirty seconds after her in nothing but the shorts he had tied around his ankle while he ran. He lied on his back and put his head in Taylor's lap.

"Where are the pups?" He asked just as they came barreling out of the back door.

"We're here and perfectly on time unlike you freaks who showed up like two days early," Max said as he plopped onto the ground next to Evan. Jaden draped himself across Evan and Max's legs. He was face up and his big hands rubbed his stomach dramatically.

"Let's get this show on the road. I'm practically starving."

"Ok now that the gangs all here, we need to delegate chores." The youngest boys groaned, but stopped after a grunt from David. Taylor patted his cheek as a thank you before continuing. "As I was saying, chores. Evan, David and I will hunt for our protein. There must be a lot of game in this area because of all the woods. Jaden and Max you both will be in charge of getting the vegetables and stuff. You can either scout for it or go to the grocery store and buy them, I don't care either way. We'll all take turns cooking, except for you Max- no one wants to eat your cooking. I'll get a wall calendar and Evan and I will set up a schedule once a month for who'll be cooking and cleaning what. David and I will scout the land sometime this week and set up patrol routes and then there should be a schedule up next week for that. Am I missing something?"

"School?" Jaden asked.

"Ah yes, this is a pretty small town so I think people will notice if you don't go. That means that I'll have to go register you and Max and that's going to be hard for you Jaden because I'm not your legal guardian or anything. David do you think you can draw up some fake paperwork for him?"

"Yes, but it would be easier if he just called his parents."

Jaden growled and David raised a challenging eyebrow at the younger male. Taylor sighed, there wasn't a day that passed that the two of them didn't argue about this. "We all know he's not going to call them-"

"Why should I?! They kicked me out!" He yelled at her. He didn't mean for it to be there, but there was a slight growl in his words. All the other boys froze in place and Jaden almost looked sick from the glare that Taylor gave him. If he was in his other form his body would be completely flattened to the ground and his ears would be tucked down low. He whimpered and tilted his head to expose his throat to her. "I'm sorry," Jaden whispered.

She grabbed him by the ruff of his neck and shook him a little, her eyes flickering gold for a small moment before they returned to their original brown. "We know you're still hurt by your parents disowning you, but we're your family now. You need to stop picking fights with us over something that none of us can control. You will call your parents and ask very politely for your paper work to be mailed to us. Do you understand?"

He nodded his head and like that a switch was flip. She went from gripping his neck to rubbing it gently. She had psychically asserted her dominance and Jaden accepted it without challenge. All the boys around her visibly relaxed. "Very good. Now Max we can get you started right away because you're emancipated, do you want to wait for Jaden? It should only be a week or so."

Max nodded, not daring to say anything for fear that the girl still might not be her usually easy going self. Everyone in their group knew that when Taylor's eyes were gold there was no hope for any of them. Her wolf, whom they had semi jokingly called Killer, was vicious and unforgiving. Despite Taylor being the smallest among them all she was the one in charge. Even Evan, who was the biggest and Beta, knew better than to test her too much.

"Alright. I think that wraps this brief pack meeting up," Taylor said cheerfully. "We passed a diner on our way in. Who's hungry?"

...

It was an ordinary Saturday in which a majority of the La Push pack spent their lunch hour at Sue's diner. With the exceptions of Paul and Sam who were out running patrol and Jacob Black, who had moved with the Cullens, all of the wolves were present. There were no imprints and the only female allowed was Leah. This was pack bonding after all and like it or not, she was pack.

They happily munched on food as they teased each other mercilessly. Some playful shoves, soft punches, innocent hair pulling, gentle mocking. It wasn't hard to see that they all cared deeply for each other despite the seemingly rough display of their affection. Watching them was like watching a rather large group of young siblings unless something caused them to be alert.

An unfamiliar pack of wolves walking into their diner was enough to cause them to be alert.

It was like a switch had been flipped. In an instant the La Push wolves went from playful teens to skilled hunters. The once carefree group was now rigid with tension. With stiff backs and watchful eyes they studied the strangers. The first to enter was a girl. She was an Amazon by human standards with long shapely legs, smooth red-brown skin, a lean, but strong build and wild, short, dark hair. She was a tad bit shorter than Leah, but all the more feral. A mammoth of a male followed behind her, probably the alpha. He was so big and tall that he could have swallowed the girl up. In spite of his size he moved with the grace of a skilled dancer, the La Push wolves couldn't even hear the sound of his feet hitting the floor. The next male to enter was about the same size of the average werewolf and there was nothing particularly special about him. His face bore no expression and his movements were oddly stiff and controlled- as if he thought out every move before he made it. Bringing up their flank was two obviously young wolves. They laughed too loudly and shoved at each other as they tumbled into the door. Their was a reckless and restlessness about them that made their group just a little bit less intimidating.

It only took her a short moment to realize that she was being watched. She whipped her head in the direction of the La Push pack so quickly that it was almost frightening. One second she was oblivious and then the next she was completely aware of everything around her. It didn't take long for her wolves, even the pups, to catch on. Just like that there was a stare down in Sue's diner. Her head was tilted to the side and she blinked slowly as she watched them. A small, predatory smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she arched an amused eyebrow.

Her gaze slowly slid across their table, making sure to look each and every wolf in their eyes. When she reached the end of the line her eyes narrowed at one man in particular. He held her gaze for a long while before he fidgeted and looked away. He did not look far enough that her pleased smirk was lost to him. The tension in her body left her and for the first time since walking into the diner she looked human. Gone was the animalistic quality to her movements. She sashayed her way to the table of her choosing like any normal girl with a group of boys following her diligently would.

Embry Call wasn't exactly sure what was happening. He didn't know who this mysterious girl was or why these wolves were in La Push. He didn't know how he and his pack should act around these strangers. What he did know was that he had just imprinted on the savage like woman.

And he also knew that he had lost the first round of whatever game she was playing.


My Corner: This is gonna be loads different than You Cant Fix Me plot and character wise. For starters this is a pack fic and by that I mean there will be lots of interaction with the pack because honestly I love them and it's ridiculous. Characters will be mostly cannon. I know where the plot is taking me and what I want to write, but I don't know how long this will take. Updates will be random as I write so they can be anywhere from one day to two weeks. I'll try not to let more than three weeks pass before I update. Chapters can vary from short to long. Shorter chapters will probably have quicker updates than the longer ones. I count this one as a short chapter because it's only 2,515 words of story. This is unbeta-ed for now. I might get one if I need to.

One of the MAJOR themes in this story (if my not so subtle hints didn't register) is DOMINANCE. There won't be any pain games or anything, but it's simply in Taylor's nature to be dominant. Taylor and her pack are way more intune with their wolves than the La Push pack so they'll be different. Less human, but not inhumane I don't think.

There will be qoutes at the beginning of each chapter so if any of you want to be sweethearts please throw some my way about; dominance, love, strong women, shy boys and games.

FINALLY thank you so much for your consideration and interest in reading this. I'm very much so looking forward to writing it. and I PROMISE notes won't always be this long. I promise. - Bre
