Chapter 2-Meeting the Pack & Imprinting
Natalie
"Here Nat, let me show you to your room." Emily says and I nod and follow her up the stairs to room. She opens the door and there was a full size bed in there with a desk and a dresser and a closet.
"You can make it how you want you know if you want to paint it or put up pictures" I turn to her and hug her and she hugs me back.
"Thank you Emily" she smiles and lets me go.
"No problem Nat, um I'm not sure if you want to unpack right now because we'll be leaving in like an hour" I shake my head.
"No I'll just go take a shower and get ready" she nods.
"Ok well your bathroom is a across the hall and everything is in there and if you need anything Sam and my room is downstairs" I nod and she walks downstairs. I haven't called my grandmother so I decided to call her and let her know I made it.
"Hello?" she answers on the third ring.
"Hey grandma, I was just calling to let you know I made"
"That's great Nat, are you getting settled?" I nod even though she can't see me.
"Yeah, I was about get ready to go to this bonfire with Emily and her fiancé Sam. They want me to meet their friends"
"That's wonderful Natalie, I sure they are nice people" I shrug.
"I hope so"
"They will be now you go have fun and call me and let me know how it goes"
"Ok I will, I'll talk to you later"
"Okay, have fun Nat, talk to you soon" she hangs up the phone. I toss mine on my bed and walk over to my bags. And pull out some jeans and a black Aeropostale shirt. I walk into the bathroom closing the door behind me.
I strip out of my clothes and get in the shower. The warm water washing over me. I think about the bonfire tonight I'm a little….well I'm a nervous wreck about meeting Emily and Sam's friends what if they don't like me? I mean I've never been good at making friends. I take a deep breath I guess I'm going to have to try now.
After 30mins I get out and get dressed I walk into my room and sit in front of the mirror that is there. I grab my comb and comb through my wavy brown hair. I get from my mom it falls to the middle of my back. I decide to leave it down since I had it in a ponytail earlier.
I put on my black converse and I grab my phone and put it in my pocket and I walk downstairs. I see Sam and Emily on the couch talking.
"You look cute" Emily says once she sees me. I smile and look down.
"Thanks" I mumble
"Well we better get going" Sam say as he stands up and walks to the door. Emily and I follow behind him. We get in the truck and he drives down to the beach and parks next there to some other cars. Sam stops and gets out so do Emily and I.
I see a group of people on the beach and I start to get a little nervous. Emily senses that and she put her arm around my shoulders.
"Come on Nat, they'll love you" she whispers to me. Sam starts walking in front of us to group of people.
"Hey Sam, Hey Emily" Chorus through the group. I look at the guys and was in shock what is it with these La Push guys. They are all tall, big and buff tan and short haired. It all seems so unnatural like guys shouldn't be this big must be the food here or something.
"Who's this?" One of the guys asks.
"Guys this is my cousin Natalie, Nat this is Jared his girlfriend Kim, Paul and his girlfriend Rachel, Quil and Claire, Jacob, Seth, Leah, Collin, and Brady." Emily says as she points them out. I smile
"Hey nice to meet you Emily's told us a lot about you" Kim says to me. I smile at her not sure on how to answer that. There were a few adults there too they walk over.
"Natalie look at you all grown up" My Aunt Marie says to me as she pulls me into a hug. "How have you been?"
"I've been good" she nods
"That's good, um I'm sorry let me introduce you, this is Quil Sr, Billy Black, and your aunt Sue Clearwater. This is Natalie" I've never met Sue she was my Uncle Harry's wife. My mom was the youngest. It was Harry, Marie and my mom. I've only met Uncle Harry once and that was at my dad's funeral. I remember asking my mom about him once and she went on saying how he didn't understand that she didn't want to live in La Push and wouldn't let her make her own decisions so she stopped talking to him.
"Nice to meet you all" I say quietly and they smile at me.
"Good to finally meet you Natalie, I'm glad you're going to be living here" Sue says to me. "I'm sorry you didn't get too see your uncle again before he passed." I'm a little surprised to hear her say that.
"Wait Uncle Harry isn't alive anymore?" I ask and Sue and Aunt Marie frown a bit.
"No he's not" Sue says.
"What happened?"
"He died of a heart attack a year ago" I sat in awe. "Natalie didn't her mother tell you?" my aunt Marie asks curiously. I shake my head.
"No I haven't talked to my mom in about 10 years" my aunt Marie shakes her head and Sue looks shocked as well as Mr. Billy and Quil Sr. but I was use to it not having my mother around. "I'm sorry about Uncle Harry" Sue smiles at me.
"Thank you Natalie, Have you met your cousins Leah and Seth" I nod but I didn't know they were my cousins.
"Hey Natalie, you can sit with me" I turn and see Seth standing next to me. "Where about to start eating" I nod and wave to the adults as Seth and I walk away.
We sit down next to eachother and Jacob sat on the other side of me. I look around and see Emily sitting next to Sam across the fire. Everyone was talking or in their own conversations.
"I can show you around you know so you can get a feel of the place" I look over at him and smile.
"Thanks"
"No problem" I can see Seth and I being good friends. I mean he's so cute in an adorable type of way and he's really nice so far but I'm not sure if he's being nice to me because I'm his cousin or not. "So where'd you move from?"
"Um Florida" he looks at me.
"Really?" I nod. "Whats it like there I've never been?"
"It's very sunny all the time, it's a really nice place to live" I say if I had the social life of my peers out there I probably would be able to tell him about all the clubs and parties.
"Wow well here it rains a lot" I look over at him.
"Seriously?" he nods and I sigh. It's not that I don't like rain but I don't want it to rain all the time. As everybody gets their food to start eating. I'm a little surprised at how much the guys are eating and I guess the surprised look on my face was noticeable.
"Don't worry Natalie, you'll get use to it" Rachel says and everyone looks over at me and chuckles a bit.
"Hey guys, Good you're eating already I'm starving" I hear a husky voice. I look over to see him. He look just like the other guys tall and muscular with short black hair but something about him made him stand out from the other guys but I don't know why. He got his plate pilled with food and he sat next to Collin. Everybody was back into their conversation and Seth leans over to me.
"That's Embry" and has if hearing his name, Embry looks toward us. He looks at me and stops his expression was surprise and shock when his eyes met mine and it felt like everything changed. Embry's face lit up and there was a new shine in his eyes, and the way he was staring was getting overwhelming for me. I wanted to look away but it was hard for me to shy away from it.
Embry
I was in the woods running to the beach for the party. I was late because I had to help my mom with something's around the house. I got a text from Jake asking where I was and I told him I'd be there soon. I get there in like 10 minutes.
"Hey guys, Good you're eating already I'm starving" I get my plate from Emily and I smile at her and sit next to Collin.
"That's Embry" I hear Seth say.
I automatically look over across the fire to where he is and next to him was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen with long wavy brown hair and tan skin she was looking at me.
Our eyes met and I felt everything that mattered before this moment changed, and the strings that had kept me connected to the earth just got cut. She was holding me now, I was hers. I had just found my imprint and nothing mattered more than her.
Emily
Everyone was quite surprised at what had just happened. Embry just imprinted on my cousin and I have to say I'm a little jealous. I mean I just got her back in my life and I don't ever know everything about her and now Embry has a claim on her. I sigh but I have to say if I had to have someone imprint on Nat. I would want it to be Embry because he's a good guy and I know he'll take care of her. I feel Sam's hand on mine and he smiles at me. Everyone knew what had happened here well everyone….except Natalie.
Natalie
Everything seemed perfect. I didn't want to look away but there was a weird silence, reluctantly I look away.
"Why is everyone silent?" I whisper to Seth. Everyone were looking shocked staring at Embry and I.
"Um…nothing" he mutters and then everybody goes back to their conversations.
"Okay that was weird" I mumble under my breath. After eating the group began to disperse. I was sitting there deciding what to do. When I feel someone standing over me, I look up and see Embry.
"Hey" he says
"Hi" I say shyly.
"I'm Embry Call" he says and I hear a few chuckles from Brady, Collins, Seth and Leah. A shy smile comes to my face.
"I know" I say and he nods then looks at me.
"But I don't?" I look at him confused.
"Don't what?"
"I don't know your name"
"Natalie Smith"
"Do you want to walk the beach with me, Natalie?" he asks as he holds his hand out. I'm a little unsure because I don't know him at all and I've never had a guy ask me to go anywhere with him.
"Embry leave my cousin alone she just got here" Leah says and I can't help but smile a little because she called me her cousin already. I hear from Embry what sounds like a growl I look between them as Leah smirks at him and he glares at her.
"Shut up Leah" Seth says and then he pushes me. "Go ahead Natalie" I look back at him as he gives me a nod. At that moment I know I can trust Seth and I know he wouldn't let me go with his friend if he thought something was going to happen. I turn to Embry and grab his hand, he helps me up. We walk away from the group around the fire.
"So you're Emily, Leah and Seth's cousin." I nod
"They're cool, well all but Leah" I was going to ask him why he said that. "You'll find out soon" I nod as I walk beside him.
"So where are you from?"
"Florida" he nods.
"Why'd you move here?" I don't answer and I shift uncomfortably and look at the waves hitting the shore. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want too"
I nod very grateful he wasn't going to push any answers out of me.
"Well maybe we can hang out tomorrow and I can show you around and stuff?" he seems pretty sincere but I have never had experience with guys so I don't know if he's serious or just messing with me.
"I'm sorry Seth already offered to show me around" I could see his face fall and he looks a little disappointed.
"Oh" I feel this tug at my heart and I'm not sure why.
"We can still hang out I guess if you want?" I say and he looks over at me surprised.
"Really?" I nod and he smiles and nods "Ok good"
"Natalie!" Embry and I turn and see Emily waving us over so Embry and I walk back. "We're about to leave."
"I'll take her home Em" Embry says and Emily looks at him unsure. Sam was near and decides to step in.
"Embry I'm sure Emily and Natalie have some catching up to do, you can see Natalie tomorrow" he says and Embry nods reluctantly.
"It was nice meeting you Embry" he smiles and I smile back.
"It was nice meeting you too" I walk away and get in Sam's truck and Emily and Sam talked to the others of a while. They get in the car and Sam starts to drive.
"So Nat, did you have fun?" Emily asks
"Yeah it was fun, your friends and very nice people"
"Yeah there are always nice people on the res," Sam says "Well the people we hang with are"
We get back the house and I say goodnight to Emily and Sam. As I head to my room I close my door and change my close.
"Maybe I should call my grandmother and tell her how tonight went?" I say out loud to myself. I look over at my phone and its 11:30 here so it would be 2:30 there. "I'll call her tomorrow" Lie in my new bed in my new home I sigh and think about tonight. It just might be good to live here.
