Chapter Two: Wolves and Imprinting?
I finally came out of my reverie to find a hand right in my face and Jake yelling, " Bells! Yoo-hooo, anybody in there?" I decided to gross him out, so I licked his hand. That, however was the most idiotic thing I have ever done in my life. "Ewww! Jake when was the last time you washed your hands?"
"Now that you mention it Bells, I don't even remember the last time I washed my hands." He was smirking though, so I knew that I was safe from getting any diseases anytime soon.
"Well now that the show is over, let's head back to the house guys." Charlie finally spoke.
"I couldn't agree more." I said.
The ride home was filled with laughter and bad singing. I also learned never to let Paul pick the radio station again, because the whole way home we were listening to lady Gaga. The worst part was the fact that Paul actually tried singing along to some of her songs. Let's just say that as soon as I get home, I'm burning all of my Lady Gaga CD's.
Once we got home, the guys all went to the living room to play video games while went upstairs to unpack. It took me almost three hours to all of clothes and things unpacked. Then, I went downstairs to get a head start on dinner. Gosh knows that Embry and Charlie can't cook to save their lives. I don't know how they survived all these years without me here to cook for them. "Guys, how many of you are staying for dinner?" I yelled walking downstairs and into the kitchen.
I heard a chorus of "yeses", so I went into the living room to get a head count. Immediately, I realized people were missing. I counted again and again until I realized which two people were missing. "Guys, where are Embry and Seth?" I questioned. All I got was a mumble from Quil in return. "What? I can't hear you Quil."
"I said they are on pat- I mean they went to the grocery store. Yes that's it. Right guys? They went to the grocery store."
"Uhuh is that so Quil? What did they need to go fetch from the grocery store"
He sat there thinking until all of a sudden I heard wolves howl in the distance. The guys all stiffened, then they stood up and started leaving. Before Jake left, he told me to lock all the doors and windows and get started on dinner, and that they would be back soon. I sat there for a few minutes thinking about what could have gone wrong to make all of them leave so suddenly. And where were Embry and Seth? And what was up with those wolves howling so close to the house? Tons of questions were flying around my head as I started making dinner. I was almost done with the salad I was making, when the answer came to me. They were wolves! I don't know how I knew that but I had a feeling in my gut that my assumption was correct. I decided to wait until after dinner to start the interrogation.
Shortly after, the boys all came walking back in the house, including Seth and my brother. We sat down and had a quiet dinner. No one talked, so all you could here was the slurping a spaghetti and the clinking of forks and glasses.
After dinner, we all went and sat in the living room. I decided that then was the right time to start asking questions to find out whether or not my assumption was correct. "So guys, where did you go all of a sudden?" They all mumbled different responses, so I figured I'd move on and see what happens. "Ok and where were you and Seth when all of the guys heard the wolves howl and suddenly left?" This question I directed right at my brother. It was totally silent, and I was getting pissed because no one was giving me a straight answer. "Cut the crap guys, I haven't even been home one day and I've already figured out your secret." This time Sam smirked and said, "Tell us oh wise one, what do you think our secret is?" "Your wolves." I stated calmly. Now it was my turn to smirk as all of the guys looked at me with shocked expressions. "How did you figure it out Bellerina?" Jakey asked me. "Simple I thought about the wolves howling and then thought over all of our tribe's legends to see if any of them had to do with wolves. Then I put two and two together, and waited until just now when you showed me that my assumption was correct."
"Yay, now I don't have to hide anything from you sis!" Embry yelled jumping up and down like a little girl on Christmas. Eventually, Jake and Quil joined in with him. But the surprising part was when Seth joined in and got me thinking again.
"You guys aren't telling me something." I accused.
"Wow she's perceptive." I heard Jared mumble, followed by a smacking sound and an,"Ow what the hell was that for?"
"Um you see Bella, there's this thing that us wolves do. It's called imprinting, and it is when you find you soulmate. It's like nothing else in the world matters matters but that person, she is your other half, and you will be whatever she needs and needs. Whether that is a big brother, a best friend, or even a lover," Sam explained to me.
Ahh I get it now! "Let me guess, Seth imprinted on me, didn't he?" I was once again met with a room full of shocked faces.
