A/N - Well, I decided to continue. :) Just so you know, Embry got the wolf gene from his mom, so Annie will not be turning into a wolf in this story. And the story is taking place in late September. And I would like to thank my first (and only) reviewer, xxtreeehuggerxx! :) So here's chapter two, enjoy!

Chapter Two

I hadn't taken a shower since I arrived in La Push, so I figured I would take one. I went acrossed the hall to the bathroom that Embry and I shared, took a shower, and partially blow dried my hair. I put on a baggy sweatshirt and some old jean and pulled my hair into a ponytail. I didn't even bother with makeup, there was no way it would help with the dark under eye circles I had attained from lack of sleep. I walked back into my room and glanced at the clock that read 7:15. I sat on my bed, and turned on my iPod. Music was another thing I adored. I could literally listen to music for hours and not get bored.

The time flew by when I listened to my iPod, and before I knew it, it was 7:50. I reluctantly turned off my iPod, put on my rain boots, tucked my phone into my pocket, and walked out to the kitchen to meet Embry. He was stuffing what seemed to be a whole chicken down his throat. I giggled.

"Do you even taste it, Embry?" I asked, laughing as he nodded his head.

"And it tastes wonderful," he said with his mouth full. He swallowed down the food and asked, "You ready to go?"

"Mhmm," I said, giving him a big, fake smile, "I'm excited!" Well, I wasn't SO excited. I would rather stay at the house, but I didn't want to make him upset. So, I would just have to live with it. It was probably good for me to get some fresh air, anyways.

"Good!" he said, opening the door and walking out to his old, beat up, Chevy truck. I followed him and took shotgun. It made me realize how much I missed my brand new SUV. I wasn't allowed to take it with me to La Push.

"You'll love my friends!" He said, enthusiastically. "They can be kind of crazy, but they're all good guys."

"Are all your friends guys?" I asked, looking at my tired reflection in the side view mirror. I was beginning to wish I had put more effort into my appearance.

"Well, it's a majority of guys," He said as he turned onto another dirt road, "There are a few girls too, mainly girlfriends or family members though."

"So, I guess I fall into the 'family members' category, huh?" I said with slight smile on my face.

"Well, yeah, you are my sister!" Embry said, smiling. "I always wanted a sister. One of my friends, Jacob, has a few, and he hates them, but I was always jealous of him."

"Well, I always wanted a big brother, too," I wasn't lying. I had wanted a big brother my whole life. Dad told me that he had a son, and I had always begged him to let me meet him. "Maybe someday," he would always say.

Embry smiled as he pulled into a gravel parking lot with a few other old, beat up cars parked in it.

"Just to warn you," He said before he opened his car door, "There are a lot of us, and all the guys are, well, big like me." I nodded, Embry was big. He had to be about 6'5 and he had huge muscles. I tried to imagine a bunch of guys his size and I had to admit, it kind of scared me. I was glad Embry warned me in advance.

We stepped out of the muddy truck and began to walk toward the fire on the other side of the beach where about fifteen to twenty people were.

"CALL!" Someone shouted from the bonfire, "ABOUT TIME!" the figure that was shouting began to sprint towards us. The person was taller than Embry, but had the same huge muscles.

"Dude, we've been waiting forever!" the new person said, he looked like everyone else on the reservation, tanned skin, black hair, and brown eyes.

"You told me to be here at eight!" Embry said, laughing.

"Its 8:04," The person said, looking at the clock on his cell phone.

"Oh, sorry!" Embry said sarcastically. "This is my sister, Annie. Annie this is Jacob Black." I shook hands with Jacob Black and noticed that he, too, had really warm skin.

"Hey, it's really cool to meet you," Jacob said, smiling. "Embry has been giddy about his sister coming to live with him."

I grinned back at him, too.

"It's nice to meet you too," I said, "Embry said he has some of the coolest friend."

"Well, he wasn't lying," Jacob said as the three of us began to walk towards the bonfire.

As we approached the bonfire, everyone there said 'hi' to Embry. There were a lot of people there. Mostly teenagers, it looked like. Almost everyone was Native American, except for one girl sitting next to where Jacob sat down. She had very pale skin, even paler than mine, and she had copper hair that hung in ringlets. She looked to be about my age and she was absolutely beautiful. I scanned the rest of the people around the fire, my eyes grazing past each face, until I stopped at one face in particular. He had tanned skin, black hair, and brown eyes, like everyone else, but it seemed different on him. I could easily pick his face out in a crowd. He stood up, he was about 6'5 and built, and walked over to where I stood.

"Hey, I'm Seth Clearwater," he said as he shook my hand. I felt a shock go through my body.

"I'm Annie," I said. And then I smiled, genuinely, for the first time since my dad died.

A/N - Be sure to review! I really do love reviews!
