I walk into the house and place the pizza on the counter. I traced my mind trying to remember what it was like talking to her as a child but I can only imagine the smile she wore on her face earlier today. Her face was almost as I had remembered it only somehow she was even prettier. I shook my head in attempt to clear my thoughts. I wash my hands in the sink and grab a slice of pizza from the box. It was around four in the after noon and I still had time to kill on a Saturday. I walk into the living room in attempt to find the remote. Its not like I'd been a regular in this area so I honestly don't know where to look. I scan the room finding the TV remote on top of the TV.
Thanks dad. I mentally thank while rushing to retrieve it. Of course there wasn't much on TV, but it isn't really like I have much of a choice. I haven't really spoken to anyone and even if I had I doubt I'd actually enjoy being in they're company. I settled on watching The Notebook and went to retrieve my pizza. I didn't really see the point in getting plates being as I would be the only one to enjoy it. Charlie would most likely stop by the diner anyways. I lay back against the sofa and ate some of my pizza that was now cool enough to eat. The movie had just started so I guess my timing was just about perfect.

Was that Bella? I raked my mind trying to remember the small timid girl that used to spend time with me during the summer. I know her dad told my dad about her coming to stay but id never expect to see her. It had been years since we seen each other let alone spoken. I checked out at the counter and paid. My mind was still trying to wrap around seeing Bella. She had changed so much. Her long mahogany hair draped at her waist, her skin as pale as snow. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of chocolate and her lips were as plump as they were pink. She was absolutely beautiful just as she had been all those years ago.
I put the groceries in the trunk and headed for the house. I'd have to patrol soon since we're all trying to work together to catch that bloodsucker. I struggle to control the growl that filled my chest. If those Cullens had left that human alone this would have never had happen. I guess I kind of got wrapped up in my thoughts entirely not to notice my arrival. My dad's truck was parked in the yard along with my mom's car. A lot was going on lately with my patrols and Seth's first phase. I sigh in defeat and emerge from the car. I call out to Seth for him to help me with the groceries. I could probably get them myself but I wanted to take a shower before patrols. He came running it a pair of cut offs and smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile back at him when I told him my thanks.
I rushed in the house greeting mom and dad before making my way into the bathroom. I check the time on my phone and it seemed like I only had an hour before patrols. I shimmied out of my jeans and my t-shirt and reached to turn on the water. It felt good against my skin. It was almost as if the warm water was just washing away my troubles, my fears and everything else along with it. I felt a tiny pull in my chest. It wasn't unbearable but it was noticeable.

I was running through the trees in the dark. My cheeks were streaked with tears as I called out for Edward. The wind was howling and whipping past my ears. I struggled to reach him until suddenly he came to a stop. He then slowly turned to face me with blood red eyes.
I awoke from my dream screaming and gripping the blankets. I felt around and then realized I was in my bed. I guess I had fallen asleep before the movie had ended. I shuddered feeing a cool breeze come past me. The window was left open. I let out a breath and swing my legs over the side of the bed to go close the window. Before I could make it I heard distant howling in the woods behind the house. As I approached the window I waited to hear it again but the sound was gone. I felt the anxious feeling in my stomach again just as I had earlier today. I decided to just shrug it off and go back to bed. I shut the window, but before I could close my curtains a pair of glowing eyes caught mine.
I shake my head and blink a couple of times as if trying to assure myself I had not seen what I thought I had. I turn away from the window and walk towards the bathroom. When I got into the hallway I heard Charlie sleeping soundly and the house was completely silent. I sneak into the bathroom, trying not to make a sound. I shut the door behind me slowly, twisting the knob to avoid the loud clicking sound it made. I look into the mirror at the girl that peered back at me. She wasn't as pale as she was in the earlier days. Her lips had color in the m and they were no longer the same pale color of pink. A faint smile appeared on my face as play in my hair with my fingers. Something definitely had changed. I couldn't put a finger on it but I knew that whatever it was it was going to be big.
I snuggled underneath the covers once again in effort to return back to sleep. I felt the familiar tug in my chest subside and it was almost soothing me right to sleep. I no longer worried any more about my dreams or even the noises outside. I slept soundly with the thoughts of the girl of my dreams the night before.

I laid here near the back door of the swan residence. I could hear her heart beating as she slept. I could hear the others in the back of my mind as I did my best to block them from my mind. When in my wolf form it's so much easier to hear her but it's so much harder to block everything else. I inhaled deeply truing to consume her smell .The smell of her was just enough to calm the pull on the strings in my chest.
This is why the cold ones couldn't stay away; I just can't help wishing that they had. She was my imprint and I would do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
I heard sounds in the trees and I look towards the forest line to see a growling sam. Great.
I'd like to thank everyone for their support and their reviews ! It honestly means more than you think.
