Chapter 2 – Imprinting

Paul's POV

I gave Holly a bath and dressed her in the clothes she wanted to wear. I tried to tie her hair up in a plat and found out that I could only do it in a pony tail.

I grabbed a blanket in case she got cold and carried her over to my truck that was parked on the drive way. I put her in her car seat and hoped in the front. I started the engine and back out.

"Pauly, wer we guin?" She asked me. I smiled as we pulled into the beach parking lot.

"I'm going to introduce you to some of my friends, is that ok?" I asked her. She smiled and nodded and went back to playing with the hair on the dolls head that were in her small hands.

I helped her out and covered her in the blanket, not wanting her to get a cold while here. I walked down to the big bon fire that was lit and had people sitting around it talking. I sat down next to Jared and Quil. Jared had Kim asleep under his arm while Quil had Claire sitting on his lap wrapped up in his jacket.

"Hey, is this Holly?" Quil asked as he nodded to Holly who was still concentrating on her doll.

"Yeah. Holly, this is Quil and Claire. Claire is four, just a year older than you" I explained to the little three years old in my arms. She smiled and waved a little and then pointed over to Sam and Emily who had Ben and Thomas at there sides. Sam stole glances at them both and then went back to watch Emily. Ben and Thomas phased two months ago. I was worried that when Holly turned up her they would lose control and show her our secret.

I never wanted Holly to find out. I didn't want her to know all of the bad things I do in life and what I really am deep down.

"Sam, Emily, this is my baby sister Holly. Holly this is Sam and Emily" I said. Holly looked up and reached for Emily. Emily took her in her arms and sat back down on the log.

"What's you're dolls name, Holly?" She asked.

"Brittany" She replied.

"Paul, can I talk to you?" Sam asked me. I nodded and started to walk back down the beach with him towards the parking lot.

"I don't know how to break it to you man, but, I think Thomas imprinted on Holly" Sam said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"PAULY, PAULY" Someone called. I looked towards the beach and saw Holly looking for me. And when she did she jumped off Emily's lap and ran to me, Thomas on the other hand was right behind her. She jumped into my arms. I turned away so Thomas couldn't see her face.

"Paul, I'm sorry, you know I can't help it" Thomas said. I spun around and gave Holly to Sam.

"You'd better be sorry. This is exactly what I thought would happen. Someone imprints on her, they move away from La Push and I never see her again. I am not letting you get to Holly; she is MY sister and MINE only. I don't want to ever see you with her" I said to him as I grabbed Holly out of Sam's arms and put her in the car and drove away, and that was that.
