...

I finally got to the house still smiling dumbly. I turned to thr woods and touched my lips.

"Paul." I said to myself remembering the way he was looking at me, and when he kissed me.

Dad wouldnt be back till early in the morning he said in a text he was starting today. So that meant i had the whole house to myself. I put on my favorite CD and got into the little shower.

"see me crawlin on the floor." I sang along." Is that what youve been longing for? Hurt me. Tell me do you want more? Go on if it makes you sore!"

I started swinging my hips as I washed the conditioner out of my hair.

" you hate my face, my sweet embrace. Hate me when im all around. Enjoy it when Im burning dow-" i stopped when I heard a weird noise. I turned the water off and grabbed the towel on the rack on the wall and stepped out of the bathroom.

I heard it again, it sounded like a howling.

" dad said that there were no wolves in this area." I said aloud to myself.

I followed the next howl to the window and looked outside. Even with the outside light turned on I didnt see anything. I made a sweep around the house checking and locking every door and window. I heard a knock at the front door and I dashed for my robe and put it on. I loved my silk robe cuz it had pictures of feathers on it.

I opened the door to see an older man in a wheelchair and boy about my age that was really tall and by the looks of how tight his shirt was, he was very muscular, like Paul. Maybe it was a guy thing here.

"hi. Can I help you?" I asked them.

" im Billy Black." The man said." And this is my boy Jacob. We wanted to welcome you to the town."

"thats very nice, thank you."

...

Jacob didnt mind too much when his dad asked him to go with him to greet the newcomers. He didnt expect to see someone so pretty, she had on a white silk robe with black feathers pictured on it. He was instantly hit with the smell of pumkin.

" if i may, could i ask what that smell is?" He asked her

" oh its this stuff i spray in my hair called pumpkin spice." She smiled. " uh i just heard howling a couple minutes ago, is there wolves around this area?"

they gave eachother a looked and acted as though they didnt hear that part.

"well Jacob i quess its about time we head home, Sam said hed bring leaftovers from Emily's. Jacob's eyes beamed.

"ok. Bye uh-"

"Piper." The girl said." And bye."

"bye." He said and they left.

When they got a ways from the house.

"didnt you say yall smelt something like pumpkin pie today?" Billy asked.

" yea Paul followed it and ever since then he's had this goofy grin on his face. He told Sam he thinks he imprinted."

...

I ate a bowl or ramen noodles for supper and got ready for bed. My bedframe wasnt put together so id just have to sleep on my two matresses on the floor.

I sat the alarm for 6:00 in the morning so I could run in the morning before i had to go to seattle to get school stuff.

" goodnight." I said to the silence and heard one last howl before driffting to sleep.

The next morning I woke with a stretch that popped my back. I got dressed in a black pair of shorts and a plain t-shirt and grabbed my cameo hoodie and stepped into my running shoes.

I did my usual stretching before I started through the woods again following the ribbons hoping to get farther today.

I jogged till I got to what I was sure was the last ribbon. I looked around and confirmed that this was the spot where i met Paul.

I flashbacked to his tanned skin and short black hair that made me want ro run my fingers through it. Despite my Choctaw heritage i was tan, but i was 1/4 irish on my mom's side so I was a little pale. But I still got my grandma's ebony black hair.

I strode over to the spot where he kissed me.

"get ahold of yourself Piper." I said to myself outloud. And started jogging pausing ever so often to tie another ribbon on my trail.

...

Paul watched her from afar. she was pretty short for a girl her age he assumed. She appeard 5ft'2 inches. He watched her soar over a fallen tree, she was so into the run she didnt miss a beat.

"Piper." he wispered to the breeze, before turning and running back to Emily's.

When he walked in he was greated by everyone. Sam, Jacob, Seth, Quil, Embry. And then there was Leah. The only female of the pack, she brooded more than hes ever seen any man brood. Still cant get over the fact that she wasnt imprinted on.

...

I got home just in time to find dad up making breakfast.

" Halito." He said.

" Halito." I answered. " Chim achukma?"

"oma." He said back. " you got your list for school?"

"yep. Hey I heard howling last night."

" really?" He said suprized." Find anything?"

"no but a man and his son came over yeaterday to greet us."

" was the boy cute?" He asked mocking me.

" not the point." I said." They ignored me when I asked about the howling. "

" dont know." He sais returning to the eggs.

I was gonna get to the bottom of this. I wanted to know about the howls, or it was gonna drive me insane.

...

The song i used was Hurt Me by Kerli.
