Chapter 2
"Where exactly am I been sent?" I asked my mother as she hung up the phone.
"You remember Sam, Richards Nephew. The one who lives in La push"
"Yes, Mom. I remember him. Him and Emily were here, what. Christmas?"
"Oh, right. Well he is coming up to pick you up. You said you always wanted to visit the reservation. Nows as good a time as any. It's the prefect time of year to go. Isn't it Richard"
"Oh, ya. Look I don't really think she needs to go." Richard looked from me to my mother.
"Don't be stupid. Sam said he was happy to have her. It'll be fun. Spend the summer in La Push. You'll love it."
"I'm glad you know what I love" i said storming off towards my room.
"Beth.. I just"
"Let me talk to her." Richard said.
"She's my daughter. I can"
"Marium, Let me talk to her" he sounded so strict.
I walked to my room and pulled my suitcase out from under my bed. Then opened my closet and started pulling my summer clothes, when there was a knock on the door. "Come in, Ri... Dad"
"Hey" He took a seat on my bed and started folding the clothes as I put them down. "Are you mad?"
"About?"
"Your mother sending you away?"
"Not really. I would have liked a say in the matter, I'm almost an adult."
"Hey, think of it this way. You get a chance to see if I'm a crazy old man, or if my stories are real" he said raising an eye brow.
I laughed. "I never thought you were a crazy old man, but if you are this isn't going to be as fun of a summer as I thought."
"I'm sure you'll have fun. La Push is a great place, Full of great people. When you leave ask Sam to take you cliff diving it's amazing. Just don't tell your mother, she'd kill me"
"Do you think you and mom will split up?" I asked, join him in folding
"Don't know kiddo, I hope not. I love you and your mother so much. I don't want to fight with her anymore. But maybe she's right maybe the two of us just need sometime to work things out" then he reached over and brought me into a hug. "But that's nothing you need to worry about, now is it? You need to worry about having a good time. God I loved La push when I was a teenager. So much space, so much free time. You're gonna love the beach, don't forget to pack you swim suit, your black one. Not that crazy purple thing that looks like its going to fall off. There are a lot of teenage boys down there you know. And we don't need you breaking any ones hearts"
I laughed again he always knew how to cheer me up. "Now, Sam will be here in about 2 hours, maybe you should work on getting dressed and finish packing."
"Thanks... Ric...Dad" i smiled and gave him another hug. It was almost 11:00, Sam should be here at around 1:00 so i better get a move on. I grabbed an outfit off the top on my bag, then slipped in both my purple and black bath suits and zipped it up. Then ran to the bath room for a shower.
xXxXx
Once I was dressed and ready, it was 12:57. Sam should be here any minute and i wasn't even finished packing. I grabbed a smaller bag from under the bed and filled it with everything else i needed. My I pod, laptop, Cell phone, Make up, and bathroom stuff. I was zipping up the bag when I heard the door bell ring and there was a light knock on my door.
"Hi honey" My mom said.
"Hi mom"
"Listen, you know I'm going to miss you right?"
"Of course"
"I just don't want you to hate me for this. Richard and I need time, I really do love him honey. And he loves both of us. We just need to be with... each other you know?"
"Yeah mom i get it" then she pulled me into a hug.
"You know i wouldn't send you if i didn't think you would enjoy your self. La Push is beautiful, and i had a lot of fun there. Anyways I'm sure Sam is waiting" she pulled me close again. "I love you"
"love you too, mom" I smiled and picked up my suit case, she grabbed the smaller bag and headed to the front door where Sam and Richard were talking.
"Hey, Beth. How's it going?"
"Good" i smiled at Sam. He was a nice guy, and i love both him and Emily so much. "Hey, wheres Emily?"
"She stayed home, had to get stuff ready for you. Well we should hit the road. Richard, Marium" Sam smiled, gave my mother a hug and a kiss on the cheek and Richard a hand shake and grabbed my begs. "Meet you in the car, Thanks for the heads up, Rich" then he turned and walked out the door.
"Don't be stupid, Okay? I want to come back to a happy home. Call me. A lot. And i will email you." i gave them both hugs and headed out the door.
"Bye" they both smiled. And watched as i got in the car and pulled away.
Once on the road Sam switched off the radio. "Bethany, we have something very important to talk about" he said staring straight ahead.
"Okay? What?"
"Richard and I were talking, well you were finishing up. And well he hasn't told me this before, but he informed me that he has shared some interesting stories of our tribe with you. And I can't blame him, they are neat to tell, but the fact that he also told you that these stories are truth is the problem we have"
"What? Sam I think you lost me." I thought for a moment. Then I remembered. Sam was the head of the werewolf gang. The Alpha. "Oooooooohhhhhh"
"Back on my page are you" Sam chuckled.
"So, I'm not suppose to know about the werewolves?"
"No, you aren't"
"Vampires either?"
"Well, no. How much did he tell you?"
"That's about it. It was my favorite story. The young girl who had to share her heart with both a werewolf and a vampire. Her struggled to choose, her giving birth to a half human, half vampire and the werewolf falling in love with it. Which I actually found weird. Cause she was a baby!"
Sam just laughed."Ah... Did Richard tell you why, they fell in love?"
"Umm... something about painting?"
"Printing" Sam smirked. "Imprinting"
"Yeah... that was it. Something about love a first sight, and how Nothing Is Ever The Same..."
"are you making fun of it?"
"Maybe... a little"
"Have you ever been in love Beth?"
"Ah, no"
"Well... Imprinting is... well it's better then love. It's like finding a soul mate. Finding the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. The one that means everything to you. It's amazing"
I stared at him and I could tell this was how he felt for Emily. "Does everyone imprint. Every werewolf i mean"
"No, not everyone... it has happened to everyone in our pack except one."
"that must suck... to sit in a room full people who have found there prefect match" we didn't speak after that Sam sat with a smile on his face for no reason and I thought about this imprinting thing. Why would it happen to everyone except one person. That's not fair for that poor soul.
All my thoughts changed as we pulled off the highway into the most beautiful patch of green. "Wow"
Sam chuckled as he pulled into the drive in front of a small house. "it's nice isn't... better then the big city. You were never here when your mom was...Grandparents i think right."
"For three months... I wish she brought me" i pouted as I stepped out of the car.
"Embry!! could you help Beth with her bags" Sam yelled as i was reaching into the car. He had this strange mischievous smile on. I suck my hand into the trunk and pulled out the large suitcase, only to drop it on someones toe.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry" i said looking up into two beautiful brown eyes.
"It's...ah.. no problem" he smiled and picked up the large bag. "Embry Call"
"Bethany Uly"
