Life in La Push used to be easy, normal. Now things were different, I was different. Stupid leeches had to move back around and change things for everyone around here. I went from being a normal teenager one day to a giant wolf the next. I had heard the legends, I mean everyone had heard them. But thats all they were to us, legends of the tribe that should be passed on generation to generation. No one ever put any thought into them. Well we were all wrong because turns out all the legends were true and I was living proof of it. Stupid leeches. Oh well time for patrol.
Paul, you're late(Sam)
Yea, yea. Anything new I need to know or same old, same old.(me)
Sam as always just run the perimeter(Sam)
Anyone else we need to worry about phasing soon(me)
Embry will be joining us very soon and I've been keeping a watch on Jacob Black. But so far he seems to be keeping it together(Sam)
Alright, I'll keep an eye our for them(me)
Okay Paul, you will patrol til 8 then get Jared(Sam)
Okay. Later Sam(me)
Later(Sam)that was his last thought before he phased out.
Being a wolf was definitely not something I was expecting in my life. I hated it for the most part but there were a few perks. The speed was exhilarating and the freedom you felt while running was amazing. But the shitty things completely out weighed the good. When you were phased anyone else phased with you could read your thoughts like an open book. Sam was the Alpha which meant that I needed to listen to what he said and I was not one to follow orders. The last thing I hated was this, running patrols. I would rather just be home playing some video games or be out with one of the many "girlfriends" I kept around. Running patrol was probably the worst of it because it took up so much of my time.
I ran my patrol just like every other day and just like every other day nothing eventful happen. At 8 Jared phased and took over patrol so I could get some rest before my next patrol. I headed to Sams first because I knew I could get some food there. Sam had a fiance Emily and she always took care of the pack with food or anything else they needed. She was great, I guess. But she was also Sams imprint. That was another wolf thing that I hated but wasn't a huge deal to me because I didn't have to deal with it.
Imprinting was when the wolf found its soul mate. It was like every tie you had to this earth was severed and she was what kept you grounded. She was what held you to this earth and she was the only one who could hurt you. I saw it in Sams head whenever he thought about Emily. I could feel the way it felt and I hated it. I didn't want some wolfy magic to tell me who to love. If I was to ever find someone for me I wanted to do it on my own and have her love me for me. Not love me because something told her to love me. Sam didn't see it that way but then again he was bias because it already happen to him.
I knocked then walked in without waiting for a response. Sam knew that the pack always showed up after patrols so it was no big deal. Being a wolf gave you a big appetite. All the patrol that we were running took a lot of energy and we needed the food to keep it up. Emily was in the kitchen baking something that smelled like pumpkin. My mouth started watering automatically. Sam was sitting at the dining room table with a plate of chicken and masher potatoes. I sat down next to him.
"Any left for me?" I asked. Sam just shook his head and chuckled. Emily walked in at that moment holding a heaping plate for me. She smiled at me when she sat it down in front of me.
"Here ya go Paul,"Emily said cheerfully.
"Thanks Emily. I needed it" I huffed. I liked Emily enough but I had a bad life so I wasn't as nice as the others. Sam gave me a sideways glance. He wanted to correct me on my attitude towards Emily but instead he just went back to his food. We ate in silence for the most part. Emily came in a few times talking about the pumpkin bread she was making. I had been there for almost 20 minutes when I heard a howl from outside. Both Sam and I bolted out the door and phased when we hit the trees.
There was so much noise in my head I had to stop to clear it. Jared was there but someone else was too. It was Embry. He had finally phased and was freaking out just like Jared and I had both done our first times. Sam was a pro by now at calming us down so Sam took off to were he saw Embry was at. Embry kept going over the legends in his head and Sam was explaining everything to him as calmly as possible. After a lot of explanations and a lot of annoying yelling our headed Embry finally calmed down enough to phase out. Sam phased out with him so it just left me and Jared.
So, Embry huh?(Jared)
Yea. Sam says he is watching Black as well(me)
I hope that doesn't happen. I wish there wouldn't be anymore(Jared)
Yea. Well I'll be back in 2 hours to take over(me) I didn't wait to hear what he had to say I just phaed out and put on my shorts. A new pack member meant we would at least be able to have a little more free time having someone else to patrol. But both Embry and Jared were still in school so that only left me and Sam during the late hours of night and the day time.
I went home and just laid in my bed hoping to at least catch an hour of sleep before I had to go back out on patrol. I had been laying there for almost 10 minutes with no luck before I decided it was useless and I went out for a walk on first beach just to be alone. I was halfway down the beach when I saw two people sitting on a log. I sniffed the air and knew that one of them was Jacob. Which meant that the other would have to be Bella. He was always hanging out with her. I saw in Sams head . I also knew that she had been dating one of the leeches, stupid leech lover. I wondered if she even knew he was a vampire. Oh yea, not my business I could care less about the bitch.
I just kept on walking and when I got to the end I decided I would just go relieve Jared a little early. I couldn't sleep and I would only be out there for another 4 hours before it was Sams turn again. I took a few steps into the forest and phased.
Hey man. Go home I'll take it from here(me)
You sure? You still got about a half hour before you have to be out here(Jared)
Get out of here. I'm good(me)
Alright, see you tomorrow after school(Jared)
I was alone again just the way I like it. The rest of patrol was uneventful and when Sam showed up I was so tired I didn't bother chatting. I just phased and went straight home. Living alone made being a wolf less complicated in a way. Jared couldn't tell his parents what he was up to so it was a struggle for him to keep up his patrols and keep his parents from stressing out. Living alone had that advantage at least. I made myself a quick sandwich then headed to bed. I was out before my head even hit the pillow.
The next mroning I woke up at 8 and didn't have to patrol until 10. I did a few things around the house then headed out. When I phased my head was just one big clusterfuck. Sam was shouting something and Jared, who was supposed to be in school, was freaking out. I had to run things slow motion in my head to figure out what was going on. Oh great, apparently Jared imprinted on this girl named Kim. I found it odd that it didn't happen until now since he said she has always been in his English class. He explained that she was always very shy and kept her head down. Today they had a test and had to pass the papers backwards. He sits right behind her so when she turned around to hand him the papers they looked at each other and BAM!
This is incredible(Jared)
You are going to have to tell her about us and the imprint Jared(Sam)
What do I say to her Sam. I don't know what to say(Jared)
Just tell her the truth. She may be a little freaked out about it but she will believe you. Everything will work out. She is your imprint so she also feels the pull to you that you feel to her(Sam)
Ugh, great stupid fucking imprinting again. I hated it. The rest of patrol was all KimKimKim from Jared. I couldn't wait to be done with this whole thing. When patrol was over I phased as soon as I could and got away from him.
The next week was more KimKimKim from Jared. Embry turned out to be very calm about the whole things after that first night and caught on to everything rather quickly. Other than that the week was rather boring.
When Monday morning came around I heard a howl off in the distance and knew it was Sam. Running out to the forest I phased and heard a new voice in my head. This one was easy to figure out because he seemed to be rather level headed about the whole thing.
The legends are true. I am a wolf. Why do I here voices in my head(Jacob)
Yes Jacob, the legends are true. You hear me(Sam), Jared, Paul and Embry(Sam)
Embry. Embry is this what happen to you? Why you just dropped Quil and I?(Jacob)
Yea, I didn't want to Jacob but Sam ordered me to and I didn't have a choice but to obey(Embry)
Sam, I don't want anything to do with you Sam(Jacob)
I'm not the bad guy here Jake and you know it. I am helping everyone(Sam)
Jacob didn't say anything for a mintue and we all showed him what Sam did for us and that seemed to calm him down a bit.
Yea, okay. Sorry(Jacob)
There are a few things that you need to know Jacob. This is our secret and ours alone. No one can know about us. That means you will no longer to be friends with Quil. Or Bella. I forbid you to speak about this to anyone(Sam)
WHAT? SAM YOU CAN'T DO THAT. SHE WILL FALL APART IF I JUSTL EAVE HER LIKE THIS. I PROMISED I WOULD NEVER..wait. That means that CULLEN is a vampire? SHE DATED A FUCKING LEECH. Maybe she didn't know. Maybe she didn't know. But Sam I can't hurt her like this(Jacob)
This is not a negotiation Jacob. You will no longer see Bella Swan(Sam)
FUCK YOU SAM(Jacob)
Jacob just calm down now. We will show you how to phased back(Jared)
Jacob seemed to catch on easier than any of us did. I could still feel his anger but he was able to phase anyway. The next few weeks went on like that. Jacob yelling at Sam demanding he let him go to Bella, Sam telling him no. Jared always thinking about KimKimKim and me and Embry just going about everything like it was normal.
That is..until today. Sam, Jared, Embry and I were headed to Jacobs for a pack meeting. When we showed up he was walking towards us when an old rusty red chevy pulled up. It was pouring out so it was hard to see through the windshield who it was. That wasn't for long though because Bella Swan jumped clumsily out of the truck and started towards Jacob. I knew he heard the truck because I saw him flinch. He kept walking towards us anyway.
She yelled for him"Jacob." He didn't turn around, just kept on walking.
She tried again."JACOB. HEY JACOB." This time his steps faltered and I knew that she would have seen it. I was right she looked a little relieved. Only for a fraction of a second though because he kept on coming towards us. She looks up to see where Jake was headed and saw us.
She ran up to him finally catching him with no way for him to keep going without ignoring her. We stepped out of the woods towards Jake. We stepped right behind him. Sam was in front with Me, Jared and Embry behind him. Sam watched Jacob and Bella to make sure nothing happen. I didn't give a shit what happen so I kept to myself and looked down. Fuck Bella Swan, tell her off for all I care. She dated a Cullen so she is not worth this much aggravation in my book.
"Jacob, what happen to you?" she asked. I could hear the pain in her voice and I laughed to myself. Good you should feel pain you dated his enemy and then used him. I had seen Jakes mind. I saw what they did it seemed to me all she was doing was using him. So to me this was a well deserved slap in the face. Bitch.
Jake turned around and I heard her gasp. HaHa I thought, he isn't gonna be what you want him to be anyone. I was the only one who thought this way and Jake and I had fought quite a few times having Sam break us apart. I hated her and thought nothing good about her which Sam ordered me to keep my thoughts to myself. Pfft, like I cared what Jake thought about me. Jake finally spoke up.
"Jacob, I need to talk to you ALONE" she told him. Apparently she wasn't as weak as Jake thought she was going to be. I knew that Jake wasn't allowed to do that so I didn't both to pay attention. But apparently I was wrong, he must have montioned for Sam to let him go and to my surprise Sam actually let him go away and talk to her.
I looked up after that. Jake and the leech lover went into the woods a little ways so we couldn't hear the conversation. I couldn't believe that Sam would be that stupid to let him out of his sight.
"Sam?" I questioned. Nodding my head in Jakes direction.
"This needs to be taken care of. He needs to tell her they can not see each other again so this does not happen again." he said. I knew he was right but at the same time I found it to be foolish to let him be alone with someone that could very well be upsetting him.
"Okay" I said. Hey, anything that would get rid of the Swan girl was okay by me.
"Jake came walking out a few minutes later. Good now this shit can finally be done and over with. Nope, I was mistaken. A minute later she was headed towards us looking more determined than ever. I looked back down. Ugh, I wanted nothing to do with this shit. I wasn't in the mood today. This fucking rain was annoying and standing out here just to deal with this stupid twit was not going to help my mood.
"What did you do to him" she asked. Well guess whatever Jake said to the bitch got her all worked up about Sam. This is so not going to end well. A shiver ran up my spine. Ugh, calm down Paul this shit will be done with soon enough. Nope, I wasn't calming down. Actually I was getting more worked up. If she was accusing Sam of something that would mean Jake told her something. But he couldn't he was ordered not to. Right?
"I did nothing to him" Sam replied all cool and collected. How can he not care that she is accusing him of something. Stupid bitch doesn't know that this is just all for her own good. My arms shook a little more but I didn't say anything. At first anyway, that was it I needed to find out what Jake told her.
I took a step forward and looked up the slightest bit. "What did he tell you" I spat out.
"He told me nothing, he is scared. He isn't himself anymore, you all did this to him" she shouted in my face. Did she really just raiser her voice, to ME? Who does this girl think she is. But her response got the better of me and I found humor in it. Jake, scared of us.
I started laughing. A deep throat laugh. I looked up at her now. Her eyes were shining with all the anger and pain she was feeling. I felt a tug towards her. A feeling of being complete tried to settle into my chest. I knew what was happening I fucking imprinted. I could not fucking believe my life. Well I wasn't going to let that happen. I would not love this leech loving bitch. EVER. You hear me wolf. I DO NOT LOVE HER. I DO NOT WANT HER. Not paying attention to the girl in front of me I must have pushed her over the edge because the next thing I knew I felt a slap to my face.
WHAT? She just fucking hit me? I couldn't control my anger. The anger from her slap, the anger about the imprint. I started shaking worse and I didn't care if I phased in front of her or not. She deserves whatever is next to come. I couldn't look away from her (stupid fucking imprint). I felt the need to calm down from the wolf, the need to never hurt her and take away her pain. NO, I roared at the wolf, this is not going to happen.
"Paul calm down. Bella step back" Sam tried to order me. I was seeing red and I couldnt' listen to him rightn ow. Order or not it wasn't going to work. Sam stepped forward blocking Bella from me. I glanced at him for a second and growled? Stupid imprint. I looked back at her and my shaking increased. I felt the ripples going up and down my arms. I saw Sam tense up and he shoved Bella away.
Who does he think he is? Shoving her like that, the wolf was furious. I didn't care what the wolf wants, I do not want this. I felt myself blurring ready to phase. I couldn't stop it nor did I want to. I wanted to show the wolf that I could do what I wanted. That if I wanted to scare her or hurt her I could and there was nothing that could stop me. That was my last thought before I phased. I looked at Bella and growled an ear-piercing growl. You bitch I was thinking. Then she passed out and fell to the ground.
