Hey this is my entry for Bexxyy's Paul Imprint Contest. I'm not sure if it's good but here it is. This is really going to be the prologue of a story after the contest is over so this will be what happens after a few chapters. It will be better edited once i make it into a proper story.

Summary: Paul, Bella and the rest of the gang have always been friends. Bella has been born and raised in La Push. She wants to be more than just the best friend to Paul. Slowly one by one the rest of the gang starts avoiding Bella. The pack can see Bella turn from the bubbly lively girl into a withdrawn shell of a person. What happens when she finally is sick of being avoided and confronts Paul. What will happen? No Cullens but there is wolves and vampires.

Paul's Point of View

Long story short everything was easier when I wasn't a wolf. First of all I was able to be angry and not have to worry about bursting into a giant fur ball. Second of all I didn't have to run patrol around La Push and get hardly any sleep at night because I was chasing leeches. Lastly and most importantly I was able to see my best friend Bella. Of course I had other friends as well but I was still allowed to be friends with them because they had already turned into a w

The worst thing though is being able to hear Bella at night from my house beside hers.

At night I could hear her cry herself to sleep. Then I could hear her thrashing around crying out for us not to leave her and to come back to her. It was painful to see through the pack's mind the lively, loud and bubbly girl we all knew Bella to withdraw into herself and become lifeless and quite.

We all knew it was going to happen. She already had abandonment issues as her mother left her with her father and her brother Sam when she was just 11 months old and Sam was just 1 month old. We all felt sorry for Sam. He had changed into a wolf nearly 9 months ago. At the start he disappeared for two weeks and for those two weeks the rest of the pack saw the "always strong" Bella turn into a scared little girl wondering where her brother was. Sam and Bella had a really close relationship even though she was just a bare 10 months older than Sam. They didn't recognise the age difference. Sam treats her like a little sister and Bella treats him like an older brother and protector. Even though they are 10 months apart in age they are both in the same year in same and have all the same classes. They knew everything about each other. When Sam finally came back and the elders said he couldn't tell it nearly broke his heart to keep secrets from her. He wasn't even able to offer up an excuse for his disappearance. Now he can't even look her in the eye and they haven't spoken to each other in other 6 months.

Bella was strong even through most of our friends leaving to protect her she didn't cry but the nights after Jacob, Brady, Collin and myself stopped talking to her were terrible. Brady and Collin were the worst for Bella. Neither Brady nor Collin have mothers so Bella stepped in and acted like a mother to them. They were dubbed the "Twins".

Bella always used to wear tracksuits and hoodies that were either a size to big or it was one of ours. Even though they were to big on her it looked alright but now it looked like she was drowning in them. Charlie knows about the secret since he was on the council. He told she has all but stopping eating, didn't talk anymore, hardly slept at all and never left the house unless someone had changed. Each time someone had changed and started avoiding her, she would come out to the cliffs and write a song about that person or sketch that person, sometimes both.

Most members of the pack are – were all best friends with Bella including myself but I was her closest friend excluding Sam. If she was a guy she would have been the first to change because it's part of her heritage. For the past 100 years the eldest male in her family has been chief of the tribe. When the last pack was around her great, great grandfather was alpha of that pack. Since Charlie, Bella's dad has a son, i.e. Sam then he will automatically become chief. However recently people think that just because Bella is a female then she shouldn't be passed over to become chief and that she should have the opportunity to accept or decline the chance to be chief.

Over the past few days I have been thinking of ways to tell Bella but not go against the injunction that Sam as alpha has put in place to keep our secret from her and to protect from us. Right now I was lying on my bed trying to find a way. She knew about the legends and that we were descendants from wolves however she thinks that they were just legends.

Uh this was so frustrating. During my internal rant I didn't hear someone banging on my front door. I knew it was Bella. I could smell her from my room. She smelt like strawberries and home if that makes sense. Slowly I got off my bed in an effort to delay the inevitable.

When I finally reached the door I slowly opened it just as Bella was about to bang again so instead of the door she hit my chest. I slowly looked into her eyes and if felt like the word shifted. Now my centre of gravity was Bella. I just imprinted. I was broken out of my trance when I heard Bella.

"Oh Shit! That hurt." Bella cursed loudly.

I suddenly noticed that Bella's arms were trembling that only meant one thing on this rez. Bella was going to change.

"Come on Bella we have to get you to Sam."

I pulled her towards the Black's House knowing that is where everyone would be. As I reached the lawn I shouted to Sam.

"Sam get your ass out here. Your sister is about to change." With that I heard a lot of shuffling inside.

Bella

"Will someone please tell me wh-"Bella didn't get a chance to finish her sentence as she burst into a giant white wolf. She was beautiful as a wolf. She was pure white except for an unusual blue and pink design around her right eye. (Link to picture will be on my profile.) If was even possible I felt more love for her at that point.

"Ok. Paul you phase and tell her how to phase back. Jake you run over to my house and get some of my clothes for her." Sam ordered.

I went behind the bushes, stripped and phased.

What's after happening to me – Bella thought.

Bella, honey, remember the legends of our people. – I thought.

Paul is that you and why can I hear your..... I'm a wolf aren't I? But girls aren't supposed to phase in the legends there were no female wolves. Great I'm a freak among freaks. – Bella thought

Honey, you're not a freak. I am going to tell you how to phase back and we will have to talk about this. To phase back all you have to do is think about being human. – I thought

It literally took her 2 seconds to phase back. I was right behind.

"Bella that was incredible. Normally it takes forever to be able to phase back. It took Sam two weeks and you go and do it in two seconds" I praised.

"Bella you already know the legends and that you are a wolf. Now Paul has something to say to you. Don't you Paul" Sam said while slightly narrowing his eyes at me.

"Well B-Bella I-I am not sure if you remember but there is this thing called imprinting." I barely managed to choke out. In the background I could hear all the guys laughing at my obvious discomfort.

"To save you the trouble Paul I know what imprinting is and that you have imprinted on me. And well I am just after imprinting on you but that doesn't really matter 'cause I always felt this was- Oh shit why don't I have a verbal filter?" Bella said while ducking her head in embarrassment.

I know I might freak her out but I had to say this. "Well Bella it didn't matter either 'cause I felt the same way." With that I pulled her in for a kiss that showed my love for her. It was absolutely amazing.

I don't know how long we were at it but when I moving my hand from her hip up I could hear some of the guys starting to growl. I knew who it was, Sam and Jacob.

Slowly I started to pull away all the while looking into Bella's deep brown eyes.

"It may be too soon but I really don't care. Well here it goes. I love you Bella" I said passionately.

"I love you too Paul" Bella said quietly while resting her head against my chest. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders just as she wrapped hers just below my waist. We both stood there savouring the moment.

"Can we please go inside and get something to eat? I am absolutely starving." Brady complained.

"Ok. Ok but not before you come here and give me a hug." Bella said while pouting.

Before anyone of them could reach her I leaned down and kissed her on her lips and when I pulled back I tugged on her bottom lip while she emitted a quiet moan.

"Please Paul. Control yourself. I really don't need to hear or see my sister kiss anyone." Sam pleaded.

"Yes I really don't wanna see momma wolf do that either" Colin said.

"Hmm, 'Momma Wolf', I like it." Bella said quietly. "Now come on my little twins gimme a hug." She said towards Collin and Brady

Well there is is. Please review and vote if it gets through.
