Hey guys. Anyone who follows my stories knows that I did have a story published but I lost track of where I was going with it so I decided to delete and restart it. This story is going to pretty similar at the start because I'm using the same chapters but just changing the few things at first, but after about chapter 3 its going to be different. I've planned it out better this time because that way I won't lose track.
RIGHT. New readers! Hey! This is a story about Embry and a girl I made up called Meg. I hope you like it. I'm English so I may forget to change 'Mum' to 'Mom' and stuff like that but it shouldn't affect the story too much, I hope. I apologise if I make any spelling mistakes or mistakes with the story because I don't have a beta, I just proof read through it loads. So yeah...
Please review because it does make me feel more motivated. I've finished the first few chapters so I'm going to add one once a week, because that's the quickest that I will add them once I write them fully. I have a lot of exams and stuff at the moment so it just depends on when I've got free time that I'll write. It got to a point with my last story that I was adding a chapter barely once a month so hopefully I'll be updating more often than that, but if I don't I'm really sorry.
So here it goes, I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1 - Memories
Embry POV
...
The ground under my feet - or paws? - was soft and it crumbled as I pounded along. I was on patrol and Jake was going to join me as soon as Renesme let him leave.
I loved being a wolf. It gives you so much freedom. Unless Sam goes alpha on you, that is. At home my mum was always going mental at me for disappearing. I couldn't blame her. If I had a son that wouldn't tell me where he was and stayed out most nights, even when he was grounded for life, I'd be pretty freaked too. She thought I was in some kind of cult. What with cutting all my hair and getting the tattoo and hanging around in a group of tall muscly guys... She once said she thought I was gay. I was so angry at her for being that judgemental, that as soon as I phased, everyone knew about it. They still laugh about it to this day. Sam thought I should tell her about the wolf thing, but I didn't trust her enough. I'd already caused my sister to leave home, I didn't want my mum spreading around the wolf secret or possibly thinking I'm crazy. I was backed into a corner. I didn't have a clue what I was supposed to do. It had been going on for 2 years now. She still hadn't backed off. At least the pack never brought it up so when I was around them I didn't have to think about it.
I never let on about my mum's drinking. It was how she handled what I was doing, and I can't really stop her because I'm the one causing it. You can see the dilemma. At least I had Jake and Quil to keep me going; and the support of the pack. They were like my second family. Well... first if I'm honest. My actual family hated me for what I was doing to my mother. Jake wanted me to move in with him but I was worried about my mum. I couldn't leave her on her own. No matter how much she hated me, I still loved her. She was my mum after all.
Additionally I couldn't move in with him because of the imprint. Nessie, Bella and Edward were always there. It'd be way too awkward. The elders said imprinting was supposed to be rare. Hardly. I scoffed at the thought. Jake, Sam, Quil, Paul, Jared. 5 out of 17 wolfs had imprinted; and the pack only started a few years ago. I know for a fact I didn't want to be next. I was never imprinting. My life was complicated enough already. It was never happening.
I don't think you have much choice on whether you imprint...
Jake! Talk about no privacy...
Didn't you hear me phase?...
No...He barked a laugh at me.
Must have been some deep thinking, huh?I could hear the smile... a growl ripped through my teeth.
Hey, cool it. I was only joking.
Don't you have somewhere to be? Like staring at Renesme?I was starting to get really irritated now, and I don't get angry easily. Jake was my best friend but he could be really annoying sometimes. I thought imprinting was supposed to change you? Certainly changed Paul...
Imprinting affects everyone in their own way. I was already calm, unlike Paul, put I will punch if you if you push it.
Whatever.And on that note I phased back. I'd just done an hour patrol alone so he could do the same. Not having him wind me up. I hardly ever argued with anyone. I don't know what's up with me. I guess I was just excited about school tomorrow. We'd only been back a week after summer break. There was supposed to be a new girl starting tomorrow. I wonder what she's like.
NO! I'm not thinking straight. I don't care. Right? I'm not imprinting. Ever.
Megan POV
I still couldn't believe I was moving from this house. I'd grown up in it. I had been born in it! My dad had died in it. Tears welled up in my eyes. I missed him so much. He always knew what to say. I rarely argued with him, because we were both so alike. I was much closer to him than I was to my mom. Or even my brothers. Or... I was...
I stared at the picture next to my bed. It was from when we visited my Aunt Emily in La Push. My mother's sister. She was beautiful. They both were. Em was only 16 back then. She had the most perfect skin, and she was so pretty. Until a few years ago, when she was attacked by a bear. I felt so bad for her. Her face was ruined. 3 scars down the length of her face and down her arm. But not back then. On the picture I was in her arms. I was only 4 at the time. So was James, my twin brother. Adam hadn't been born yet, and he wouldn't be for another 5 years. I missed him so much.
La Push was amazing when I went last, I was 9 then. I remember being on the beach running around with Jake and Embry and Quil. They were 3 boys that I met there. Everyone on the rez was really close, they all knew each other. They always had bonfires and told old legends. How awesome would it be if they were real? That's what I thought back then, but now I'm glad we don't have vampires and werewolves. The guys were 2 years older than me - making them seniors. I was only a sophomore. I remember them as if it was only yesterday. They were so cheeky. Embry was always the quiet one. He was evil though. Ever so cheeky.
We were paddling in the shallow sea. I noticed that they'd disappeared. I went to turn around to shout for them when something grabbed my foot. I landed face first into the water. I tried to scream but someone else put their hand over my mouth as I surfaced.
I suddenly realised the hands were no bigger than mine. I smiled into Jake's hand. Or Quil's. Or Embry's. I didn't want to spoil their fun though so I let loose a scream.
Whoever had my foot grabbed my other one. Quil grabbed my wrists. I knew it was him because he was even smaller than me. All of a sudden I was swinging in the air with Embry smiling down at me.
I tried to look upset but failed and a grin spread onto my face.
"This is for attacking us with seaweed!" he winked at me and nodded to Jake and Quil.
All of a sudden I was flying through the air. I screamed for real this time. "EMBRY YOUR DE-" there wasn't much more I could say. I plopped into the water halfway through screaming. Water seeped into my mouth. I thrashed about madly not having a clue what way was up. Suddenly my head was in the cold air. I spat the salty water out and looked around. Wow... they'd thrown me far. I swam towards the shore. And towards the boys rolling about of the floor laughing so much they were barely breathing.
I couldn't help myself. I burst out laughing along with them.
I never held grudges. They were so cute when they laughed. I wonder what they're like now. Probably still as cheeky. I hoped they remembered me.
I smiled at the thought of being reunited with 3 of my closest friends. They were like 3 additional brothers.
"You moving or not?" James grinned at me. "Come on, lazy. Don't want to miss the plane."
I opened my eyes and looked up. He was by my bed picking up my suitcases. I smiled back at him. I could always rely on my brother to cheer me up. Sometimes I don't know how I lived in the same city as him. He could be so moody it's unbelievable. And he always had his TV on really loud. Like I wanted to hear him on FIFA or COD...
But when he was in a good mood, or I was upset, he knew exactly what to say. They say twins have a connection. We definitely did.
I climbed off my bed and looked around my room for the last time ever. We had to sell all our big furniture. There was no way we were going to be able to pay for it all flying to La Push. I was going to miss this house so much.
"Good-bye..." I whispered as I walked out on my old life.
So... how was that guys? Was it okay? Please remember to review and add my story to alerts so you know when there's a chapter added! Thanks for reading!
