Natalie's POV
"Baby Girl you ready to go?" Brady asked after the hockey game was over. "Yea." I said groggily getting up. "C'mere baby." Bray said picking me up. "Mmmm." I said as I snuggled into his chest. "What time is it?" I asked leaning against his shoulder when we were in the car. "Almost ten thirty why baby?" He asked pulling out of the Cullen's driveway. "I was just wondering." I said stifling a yawn. "Are you that tired sweetie pie?" he asked me. "A little bit." I whispered back. "Go to sleep. I'll carry you inside." He whispered kissing my forehead. "No, I'm okay." I mumbled leaning closer into his warmth. "Sure sure baby." I ended up falling asleep, even though I denied being tired. I felt Bray pick me up and shut the door. "I can walk. I'm not that tired." I whispered to him.
We walked in the house and Alli May came running down the hallway. "Alli May what's wrong?" I asked her. "I'm mad at Charles." She said storming to the front door. "Hey Alli May, you need to stay inside honey." Bray said pushing the door shut. I looked up at him and I instantly knew that he had been keeping something from me, and he was very good at covering it. Alli May was a year younger than me and my brothers. Charles was only 17 but Daddy said no dating till she was fifteen. She's only fourteen now, and her and Charles have been sneaking around, and I know that much. Alli May talks to me, and I love that she is comfortable enough to do that.
"I'll leave you two alone. Bye Natty, I love you. Call me tomorrow okay?" he said kissing my lips and waving to Alli May. "I'll call you later; you have some explaining to do." I said turning to Alli May.
"Al what's goin on sweetie?" I asked her. "Charles and I….He's just frustrating! He hardly answers my questions! He avoids them!" Alli May sobbed. "Alli May, I know what's going on. Trust me I understand. Bray did the same thing, I'll Talk to Charlie alright?" I asked her. "Okay. Just…Just be nice." She whispered. "Alright where is he? Your room?" I asked her. "Yea. But Sh! I don't want Daddy to hear you." She whispered, causing me to laugh a little. "I wont get him mad, I swear on it." I smiled and walked into her room.
"Charlie, you have to tell her." I whispered. "Nat I'm not ready for her to be brought into this mess. I mean I know that Bray told you all about the Vamps coming, and the war, and that we have to fight with them and that they are targeting the Imprints…. He told you right?" He asked. No he didn't tell me….. I thought. "Um yea of course he did. I just haven't been thinking about it." I answered very distraught. "Do I have to tell her?" He asked me. "Yes sweetie. Ya do." I told him giving him a good luck hug, then left the room. "He wants to talk to you Alli May." I said walking to my room in a daze.
I picked up my cell phone and pressed the send button twice, causing Brady's name to appear on the screen. Of course he would be the last person I would call; he was the love of my life after all. "Hey Baby what's up?" he asked. "You need to come over." I whispered in a dangerously angry tone. "Baby…what's goin on?" he asked as I heard a car door shut. "You tell me when you get here." I said and hung up. Brady knew me all too well to come without something like chocolate, or a romance movie to make me calm down. While I was waiting for Bray I got my PJs on and I pulled my cork screw curls out of the ponytail. I had my mom's hair, that was for sure. There was a soft knock on my door and I looked up at a shirtless Bray.
"What's goin on baby? You sounded pissed on the phone." He said.
"That's because I am pissed Brady." I said, using his full name so he got the full intent of how mad I was. "Baby, I was going to tell you…." He whispered. "Why didn't you?!?" I asked him, the anger hanging on my every word. "Baby I don't want you in this mess anymore." He whispered walking over to me and pulling me into his arms. "Bray I love you. I want to be with you through everything." I whispered to him. "Baby you mean everything to me, I honestly cant stand you being in this area, in this fight, I don't want you hurt baby doll. You mean entirely too much to me." He said kissing me like he's never kissed me before. It was full of passion, love, and more importantly trust. I love this man, with all my heart and soul. "Brady… I love you so much. Please don't leave me… Please. I can't lose you!" I sobbed into his chest. "Baby I wont leave I promise you that." He said laying down on my bed and pulling me down next to him.
He kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him until I stopped sobbing and my tears came silently. "When?" I asked him. "Tomorrow night." He whispered turning my chin up to his face. "I love you baby." He whispered in between sweet kisses. "I don't want to wait..." I whispered. "Baby you have to. Nothing will happen to me. You can make it till your eighteen baby, I won't ruin your life. Not with something dumb, that I don't want right now. Maybe in a few years." He said kissing me. "Bray, please, please, please don't leave me. Don't go! I don't want you to go baby!" I said looking up into his eyes. "Natty, I have to go, I'll be stronger if I'm trying to protect you. I'm going, Aiden and Nic are going, so is your Dad. Charlie is too. Quil, Jared, Sam, Collin, they are all going. All of us that are imprinted. Jake will be there too." He said. "But Daddy is going too?!" I asked almost mortified. "Baby I will take care of everyone. I promise you that baby." "Take care of yourself Brady." I whispered.
"I brought you something." He whispered reaching into his pocket; he pulled out a little white box. Inside was a pair of little diamond earrings, a necklace with a little wolf on it, and a promise ring. "I know that you wont do anything with anyone else, but I want you to belong to me forever, and I want you to know I'm always here when you have these on." He whispered pulling the necklace around my neck. "Brady. I adore you, I will always be yours, I love you forever!" I whispered putting the earrings in, and the promise ring on my finger. "I will always be yours baby. No matter what, I will always love you sweetie. Forever." He whispered kissing me. "Brady." I whispered, looking up when I didn't get a response. He was sleeping, which is probably what he needed. I didn't want him to get hurt tomorrow, at all. I didn't sleep, I was awake the whole time that night watching the love of my life sleep.
"Nat's?" Alli May whispered from my doorway. I rolled over and slipped out of Bray's grasp so that I could walk over to the door.
"What's wrong Alli May?" I asked her.
"Did Bray tell you? They are going to fight tomorrow Nat's. I don't want to lose him. I just got him!" she cried, raspy sobs escaping her throat.
"Oh Alli May, I know but they will be fine I promise you that." I whispered hugging her close, causing her sobs to come even louder. "Sh Alli May, its okay sweetie. They'll be alright. Daddy won't let anything happen to our boys. I promise." I whispered into her hair, rubbing comforting circles on her back. "Nat's how are you so strong and composed right now?" she asked me. "Cause you need me to be strong for you Al." I whispered smoothing her hair. "Thank you Nat." she whispered sitting up right. "Well I want to go spend time with Charles if that's okay with you." She whispered. "Go ahead." I said smiling and watching her go.
I sat there on the couch, thinking about how Brady and I had been together forever. I used to think that I would never have anybody to love me, but I have Brady. I turned on the radio, and the song, "Two is Better Than One" by Boys like girls and Taylor Swift came on. It seemed to be the appropriate song to listen to while I was thinking about Brady and me being together.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"
Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
"Baby why are you up already?" Brady asked. "I was thinking…did you hear the song that just ended?" I asked him. "Yea I've heard it why?" he asked sitting next to me. "Do you ever relate that to us?" I asked him. "I haven't really thought about…I just thought it was a good song." He said. "Well, if you listen to it…just think about how it relates to you and me….cause it really does. "Maybe its true, that I cant live without you, maybe two is better than one." I whispered the last part. "Baby, you know I wont let anything happen to me right?" he asked. "I know, just please watch out for my family Bray." I said curling into his warm chest. "I love you Natty." He whispered in my ear.
The next morning came all too fast, and I helped make breakfast to keep my mind off of the day that was ahead of me. "Baby, why are you making breakfast and not spending time with Brady?" my mom asked. "I don't want to talk about it." I said moving on to get the toast I had made for Brady. He was having eggs, bacon, pancakes, and toast…I made it all for him. I walked into my room and he was still asleep in my bed.
"Bray….Brady sweetie wake up." I whispered shaking him a little bit. "Five more minutes." He said. "fine, I'll just eat this big breakfast by myself." At that he shot up and took the tray from my hands and started eating. I took the small glass of milk that I put on there for myself and drank it while he ate. "I love you." He said when he finished. "I love you too." I whispered to him. We looked into each others eyes and I looked away first, breaking the connection.
"You need to get ready to go." I said taking the tray and walking out of my room closing the door behind me. I heard him thumping around upstairs and then I heard my door open and close and his footsteps on the stairs. I was elbow deep in water and bubbles in the kitchen, all alone cleaning.
"What's goin on Natty? Something goin through that pretty head of yours. You only do dishes when you need time to think." He said wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder. "Nothing, just…thinking." I said continuing to scrub the dishes. "What are you thinking about?" he asked. "Doing this." I said turning around with a handful of bubbles and blowing them into him. "HEY!" he yelled backing up laughing. "You asked." I smiled innocently. Just then there was a howl from the woods. "I guess you have to go huh?" I asked. "Yea. I love you baby." He whispered. "Be careful please?" I asked. "Course I will." He said. Just then Aiden, Nic, and Daddy came into the kitchen.
"Take care of your sister and mother while we're gone okay princess?" Daddy asked me. "Yes Daddy. I love you." I whispered into my fathers chest. "I love you too princess." He said moving over to my mother. "Hey baby girl, take care of yourself alright Hun?" Nic and Aiden said hugging me. Then they went to see Alli May, who was attached to Charles's waist. "I'll be back baby." Brady whispered kissing me sweetly. It seemed like everyone was kissing someone at this time. Mom and Daddy, Alli May and Charles, and me and Embry. The boys weren't kissing though, my poor brothers, they would imprint some day though. My boys, all going…. I would hope and pray that they all came back. Just as Brady left, the girls came…and once again it was us girls all alone, except for Emily and Sam's baby boy, Cayden, but he wasn't a baby anymore, he was a few months older than I was, he would be phasing soon, we just didn't know when.
"Hey Nat's you need any help?" he asked as I continued to wash dishes. "You can if you want to." I said smiling politely. Cayden was my best friend, not only cause he hung out with the boys, but because he took care of me, and I was like a sister to him, he was my other brother. "So how was last night? I know you had to say bye to him." He asked drying a plate. "Yea…that was hard, but it wasn't a goodbye, it was more of a "see ya later" type thing." I told him handing him my new cup.
"It must be nice." He said.
"What must be?" I asked.
"Knowing someone is there who loves you and will be there forever." He said not making eye contact.
"Hey, Cayden you know there is someone for you, just wait till you find her, I'm going to just sit there yelling, "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" I said causing him to laugh. "See, you'll find her." I said laughing and pulling the drain out. "Yea, your right." He said as we walked back into the living room where everyone else was. "Well, we're going up to my room. Yell if you need us." I said to my mom.
"Okay, behave you two." Aunt Em said. "Aunt Em…I have Brady, and Cayden is like my brother! I don't think he would try anything…nor would I." I said laughing and running up the steps. It was always a race between me and Cayden. When we were younger it was who could get into the water fastest when we went to the beach, or who could get in the car faster. We were always racing so when he made it to my room before, I had to suffer the taunting act from Cayden. "I won!" he said laughing and doing a little victory dance, causing me to laugh even harder. "You think he'll be okay?" I asked when I began to think of Brady. "Of course he'll be okay. He has someone waiting at home for him, so he'll come back." Cayden said pulling me into a hug. "I hope your right." I whispered laying down in my bed. Cayden laid on the floor and I turned on the radio. We fell asleep until suddenly someone burst through the front door.
I shot up and ran to the top of the steps watching as my Daddy, Aiden, and Nic came walking it. "Where's Bray?" I asked my eyes welling up with tears. "Nat…" My dad said. "Daddy where is he?" I replied crying. Even Charles came back! Alli may was in his embrace looking up at me. "Nat…" he said, but I didn't let him finish I ran down the stairs and out into the rain.
"NATALIE MARIE CALL Come back here!" he yelled after me, but I kept going. I wasn't stopping until I found my Brady. I was running through the woods, the path between his house and mine, to be exact. We made it on my fifth birthday, where he cleared everything out of the way and I followed behind, I was young then, I wasn't as fast as I am now. "BRADY!" I yelled as I ran jumping over fallen trees. "Bray!" I yelled, sobbing. I kept running until I couldn't run anymore. I sat down in the hallowed out tree that we made and cried. "Brady." I mumbled crying to myself. I had wrapped my arms around my knees and I was rocking back and forth when I heard a tree branch snap.
I looked up to see someone with bright red eyes looking down at me. "Why are you crying?" he asked. "Because I can't find the love of my life….not that you care or anything." I whispered. "Why wouldn't I care?" he asked taking a step closer. "Cause you're a vampire, and you don't have feelings for anyone or anything other than your kind." I said watching as he stepped closer to me. "How do you know of my kind?" he asked. "Brady." I whispered and started sobbing again. I stood up this time, and just as I did so, the wind blew and my hair went all around my face so I couldn't see, dumb long cork screws. I thought to myself moving them out of my face. "This Brady you speak of…..is he a werewolf?" he asked now in front of me. "Yes…he is." I said looking into those red eyes. "I know where he is! You must be looking for him." He said and then he whistled.
"Bring him here, I think I have something he might want." Red eyes said to no one that I could see. "What is it? A lollipop?" A voice came. When I looked up I saw a man walking towards me with Brady following behind, his hands tied.
"BRADY!" I screamed trying to run towards him.
"Natty what are you doing out here?" he asked looking hurt.
"Daddy wouldn't tell me where you were so I ran because I had to find you! I thought you were Dead!" I exclaimed trying to get around red eyes.
"Natty baby, calm down. I'm alive okay?" he asked looking into my eyes. "Yes Bray." I whispered trying to get around Red eyes yet again.
"Not so fast Natalie Marie Call." he said grabbing my hands this time.
"How do you know my name?" I asked mortified.
"Your precious Brady was thinking about it….Odd, I cant hear your thoughts…" he said as he let go of my hand and shoved me back into the tree, very hard might I add. "Ouch!" I exclaimed looking up to see Brady shaking. "Bray I'm okay! I promise." I whispered looking down to see how much room I had. "Don't hurt her!" Brady yelled.
"Ah, so you weren't lying when you said you loved this girl, she is your imprint….I thought you were trying to throw me for a loop, but I guess not…." Red eyes said stepping closer to me. Then, out of no where a sandy colored wolf with black spots on him jumped Red eyes, and another was occupying the one that had Brady. I ran out of the tree and untied Brady's hands. "Brady take her home." Daddy ordered. "Yes sir." Bray said picking me up in his arms and taking me home.
"Natty, why did you leave your house?" he asked as he ran.
"Because I wanted to find you….no one would tell me where you were Brady!" I cried looking up into his amazing eyes.
"I'm safe baby, and so are you, so is everyone." He whispered kissing me as Daddy, Nic, and Aiden ran through the door.
"Natalie Marie Call, don't you dare do that to anyone in this family again do you understand?" Daddy said backing me into a corner.
"Embry, lay off her a little bit sweetie. I would have done the same thing if no one told me where you were." Mom said.
"Sweetie I thought I lost my first baby girl." He whispered hugging me.
"I love you Daddy." I said and walked upstairs to go to sleep with Brady.
