FIRST MEETING
It had been some months since I had started living in La Push. I was having a lot of fun living there and everyone liked me a lot just as I did. They all were like brothers and Seth and Cole were my best friends out of all. I and they shared everything with each other and knew everything about each other as well. I was quite amazed why Seth and Cole were so happy, today? It was quite easy to tell that they were excited because when they were happy they would usually be creating fuss around like breaking things. So it was never safe to make them work this time, it was always good to ask them to fight or do something of the same kind. At present I was making a corn dish for tonight's bonfire. I asked Cole for help and Seth joined him. The first thing they began breaking was with a mug, then a glass bowl.
"Guys, it's better if you leave. I can do it myself otherwise Rachel will kill you." I said.
"If you need any help, call us. I promise I won't break any other thing." Seth said.
"Yeah, sure." I murmured.
"I can't wait for tonight, Cassie. I'm so happy." Cole said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You're gonna see it tonight." He said.
"So this bonfire is for the surprise?" I asked.
"Yep." Seth said.
It was some hours later when they started putting things for the bonfire. I was in no mood to sit there today. Rachel had succeeded in getting me ready in a white cardigan and blue denims but she wasn't successful in taking me out of the room. I was sitting in the living room on the couch and watching TV. Who needed to go outside in the cold and watch my elder brothers continually sticking to their imprintees? It was quite boring but still I decided to take a look outside and hear the legends. I saw Seth and Cole sitting with a guy who had dark brown hair and deepest brown eyes. He looked the same age as of Seth and Cole. I had an eye contact with him but then he disappeared somewhere and a little later, I went there.
"Hey guys!" I said.
"You're outside?" Seth said over skeptically.
"No, it's my ghost." I said. "Who was the guy sitting with you?"
"He was Brady. He was the one whom we were waiting for." Seth said.
(BRADY'S POV)
I was just looking around and then I saw someone appear out of Paul's house, maybe she was his step sister. I didn't have a close look at her, I just saw her from the back and then she turned. As soon as I saw her, I felt like I was flying. Gravity didn't hold me to the planet, there were steel cables and all I wanted to see that time was her. She held me to my place. A flame was in me, it didn't burn but it glowed like light. It felt like she was the only one around me at that time. Everything revolved around her. Just then she went out of my sight. I came back to conscious when Cole shook me. The most beautiful creature I had ever seen or better I should call her a girl. Her skin was pale and her eyes were the prettiest blue. Her hair were brown and curly, almost ringlets. Goddamn shit! I had imprinted. I hadn't ever thought that I would imprint at this age but I found it to be the best now.
"What happened?" Cole asked me.
"I… uh I imprinted." I said.
"What?!" Seth screamed.
"On whom?" Cole asked.
"That girl who just came out of Paul's place. She is so pretty." I sighed remembering her face again.
"That was Cassie, Paul's sister." Seth said and by chance Paul happened to pass by. Wrong person at the wrong time. He caught me by my collar and towed me between the bigger wolves.
"YOU IMPRINTED ON MY LITTLE SISTER!" he shouted. Paul had become by far more responsible since he imprinted on Rachel but at present he was really annoyed. I didn't hope that I would go home safely today because he was shaking.
"Paul it wasn't his choice. They are destined to be together." Rachel took my side. He stopped shaking by now.
"Do you even know what her name is?" Paul said, annoyed.
"Yeah, she's Cassie." I muttered.
"Listen, she is Cassidy Simons Lahote, my younger sister. I don't want you to call her my step sister or something of the same sort. I would warn you to…" he trailed off as Rachel kept her hand on his shoulder.
"You're over reacting, Paul." She said.
"No, I'm not." He said. We all stared at him for some seconds. I wished to punch him in his gut right now but Cassie was his sister.
"Fine, I did. It's just that I don't want her hurt. She doesn't trust love and I don't want her sad." He said.
"I promise I'll make her believe in love." I stated.
"You don't know what made her like this." Paul said.
"You'll see her changed and I promise that." I promised. I was ready, ready to make her believe, make her understand the power of love and make her mine. I knew that I could do this and now I would.
I went back to the bonfire area and we saw each other.
(CASSIE'S POV)
I was just sitting by Seth when he appeared. I knew his name so I should have better not need to call Brady as him.
"Hey!" he said and sat by my side.
"Hi!" I replied.
"I'm Brady, Brady Fuller and I guess you're Cassie…sorry Cassidy Lahote, right?" he asked.
"Yeah, that's the only manufacturing." I joked. He chuckled.
"Wanna join me for a walk?" he asked.
"Sure." I replied. Seth coughed deliberately.
"What do you want? Some cough syrups?" he said angrily.
"He knows that I don't really believe in these things. He's just mocking." I said and we went to take a round of the beach.
"So, since when are you living here?" he asked.
"I guess since the starting of this semester." I said. "Where were you? I mean… all this time. I'd started living here since two months. I didn't see you all this time out here." I said.
"I was in Washington with my grand mom. She was in last stage of her life." He said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean…"
"No, it's alright. We knew that she would die. Let's change the topic. You said you don't believe in these things, what things did you mean?"
"Oh that! It's nothing. Just that I don't believe in relationships or whatever you call it."
"Any specific reason?" he asked.
"Long story I should say."
"I love listening to stories, Cassidy. Go on."
"You could call me Cassie. I'm outta the habit of being called Cassidy. So anyway, it started with my mom. A handsome guy loved her. That guy promised to stay with her forever and love her. Till some years even mom thought it to be true but then someone else entered his life. Mom ignored her but it became like a joke for him. But when I was born, he didn't take me and then he abandoned the both of us. Paul's dad and my mom were childhood friends, so to support each other, they got married. I like my new dad a lot. I mean he cares for me, wants me and everything."
"That's called love, Cassie."
"You could say." I said.
"That's the reason? I mean look around. There's love everywhere-Your brother, Rachel and everyone."
"They're forced to love. I know all have either been imprinted upon or have imprinted." I replied.
"Do you think your parents married each other just to support them or there was something between them?" he asked. It was rather something to ponder upon. "Let's change the topic. We're friends now, right?"
"Yeah, according to me and you?"
"Me too. Do you have a crush on someone?" I asked laughingly.
"Yeah, I do."
"I see. That's why you are so into this topic."
"That's not the reason."
"Maybe it is."
"You're sort of stubborn, ain't you?"
"Yeah. A lot."
