Back to Sam's POV
Chapter 2: Imprint
I saw a little boy with dark colored pajamas and dark brown hair, and brown colored eyes. He looked no more then 4 years old."
Just two years younger then me." He was curled up into a ball.
Having heard my approach, the boy poked his head up and stared wide eyed at me.
The instant I looked into his eyes, I felt gravitationally pulled toward the boy. I felt heat flood through me, but it wasn't burning me. My world shifted and I felt a weird pull latch around both myself and this little boy like a vice."
Everything that was important to me… my love for Emma, my parents, my pack-, which was Ruby and I, everything… all of it faded into the background- cut away and severed as I stared at the little boy. My whole world seemed to begin and end with him.
Nothing else mattered or existed.
He was my light, my world.
His name spins in my mind. ROLAND. ROLAND. ROLAND.
I may only be 6 years old but nothing would ever harm him, because I would I would kill anyone who tried to hurt my Roland with my bare hands.
I'm entranced with him, with those brown colored eyes and light brown hair.
Time stopped and my whole world stopped spinning around me. He was glowing. I felt gravity move. It was no longer holding me here on this earth anymore. The whole world evolved around Roland."
THE GRAVITY TIED ME TO ROLAND.
Everything was secondary to me now. Besides my family- it was just Roland and I now.
I'll always love Emmy- but she was no longer my whole world.
I guess when you imprint on someone, your whole focus is on you're imprintee. You would do anything. Be anything for he or her."
HE WAS MINE.
My whole centre shifts.
All the strings holding me to the ground became weak and snapped, but a million other ones attach themselves, platinum strings as strong as steel cables.
My whole focus was on him. I was compelled to be by his side.
I would become whatever he wanted me to be- whether it was to please him, protect or a lover, or a friend."
I was held by him." He was my only reason for living. I would be by his side forever.
I was riveted to him and everything around me became a blur of greens and browns. My brain shut down.
I felt the pull again and this time, it was pulling me closer to him.
I felt the urge to protect this young, innocent, heavenly being.
The little boy stared at me, before he projected over to me- appearing in my arms.
He really was tied to me. That makes sense- he had my powers.
I was tied to him and the way I was tied to him made my own reactions secondary; my first reflex was always to give him whatever he needed or wanted and I felt unconditionally bound to him for the rest of my life. Nothing mattered more then him. I would do anything for him, be anything for him.
I'll be the best, kindest big sister any kids ever had- like me and Em."
"There isn't a toddler on the planet that will be more carefully looked after then Roland would. He'll now have Emmy and I."
When he's older and needs a friend, I'll be more understanding, trustworthy, and reliable then anyone else he knows.
He's my whole world now, the very centre of my universe. I'll be the perfect platonic playmate and protector- don't ask me how I knew, I just do. Call it instinct."
HE WAS MINE." WE BELONGED TO EACH OTHER.
We were both children.
