Hi babies! Here's another chapter for you! I decided to go ahead and put two up because well the last one was pretty short, but the real reason is because I'm procrastinating studying for my finals which just so happen to start in 9 and a half hours. On a more exciting note, I will be posting chapters from both Elise and Embry's points of view, so the next one will be from Elise's and then Embry's and so on. Anyhoo loves, enjoy!


Embry

I was woken up by someone knocking loudly on my bedroom door and I groaned softly because I really did not feel like dealing with anybody after last night. I was just glad that Elise finally knew, the only bad thing was that Sam was going to be pissed when he found out because other than the councils and the imprints no one was supposed to know. I rolled out of bed and stopped short when Elise mumbled softly, I froze in place and watched her for a minute before letting a breath of relief when I realized she was still asleep.

The knocking on my door became banging and I quickly moved to open it, I was greeted by Paul and Jared, and Paul opened his mouth to speak but I quickly placed my hand over his mouth and stepped into the hallway, making sure I shut the door behind me.

Once the door was shut I pulled my hand away from Paul's mouth, while he glared daggers at me, I rolled my eyes and spoke quietly, "Next try to be a bit more courteous because my girlfriend just so happens to be sleeping in there as well. Now why the hell are you two at 7am and don't tell me it's because Sam called another meeting; if that is why then I'm not coming, it's Saturday and I almost lost my girlfriend last night because of all the sneaking around."

"Actually it is a meeting, only because someone else shifted and normally Sam wouldn't bother any of us with it until the new guy calmed down, but it's Jacob Black and Sam thinks it will help for you to be there when he explains everything to Jake because you are his friend." Jared spoke up.

I sighed heavily because now I was in a big mess, Elise knew, but no one else knows that she knows. How was I going to handle this? Then it clicked, I could cover all this up by saying that I had imprinted on her and that it'd be good for her to come too.

"Okay, just let me get Lisie because she needs to meet Emily today." I said quickly.

"Wait does that mean?" Paul questioned.

I nodded and quickly slipped back into my room, making sure the door shut so that they would take that as their cue to not say anything else.

I quietly moved towards the bed and sat down on it, I gently shook Elise's shoulder and she grumbled softly. I shook her shoulder again and said, "Lisie, wake up; we're running late."

Elise slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me, confusion alight in her green eyes before they brightened as a smile spread across her face and then suddenly my whole world flipped upside down. I was stunned as I felt my heart race as I stared down at Elise, I had loved her for a long time, though I hadn't told her yet and suddenly all that love I felt became so much more intense and my entire being was anchored to her, then it hit me that I had just imprinted on my girlfriend and suddenly it wasn't a lie anymore.

"Wha-What just happened, Embry?" Elise asked pushing herself up onto her elbows.

"I- umm you know what I'll explain that to you on our way over to Sam's, okay? But we really need to be getting over there now because he does not like to be kept waiting." I said softly.

My heart was racing as I stood up from the bed and I began to wonder how I was supposed to tell her that I just imprinted on her which literally meant that we were tied to each other for the rest of our lives. I heard the bed squeak as Elise got up and I turned around to face her, I felt a smile pull at my lips as she struggled to pull on a pair of jeans with one hand and put her up with the other. I walked towards her and took her hair into my hands proceeding to put it up into the ponytail she was trying to put it into, Elise mumbled a thank you as she quickly pulled her jeans on and then her old high tops.

I grabbed her hand as she reached for her make-up and she looked up at me, I smiled and said, "C'mon we're late and it's supposed to rain today anyways, nice shirt by the way."

I pulled her out of the room as she realized she was still wearing apple jacks t-shirt that she'd stolen from me in junior high. I was relieved to see that Paul and Jared had already left, I grabbed Elise's jacket from the kitchen chair and handed it to her as we stepped outside. I let go of her hand for a second, to make sure the door was locked and then I turned back to Elise who stood there smiling at me, I smiled back at her and reached out for her hand which she quickly dodged so that she could jump on my back.

I let out a soft laugh as I began walking and she loosely wrapped her arms around my shoulders as she spoke, "So you still haven't told me what happened back there in your room."

My stomach dropped as all of my thoughts jumbled together, but I still started talking before I even knew what to say.

"Okay, so umm there's this thing called imprinting and it happens whenever a shapeshifter, or protector as you call it, finds their soulmate and when they find that person they are literally bound to them for the rest of their lives and eventually those two souls will wind up together intimately because they're supposed to create the next generation of protectors." I tried to explain.

I mentally groaned because I realized that sounded so stupid and choppy and frankly really weird.

"Does that mean you imprinted on me and that we're bonded for life? If that's what's going on here, then I can be cool with that 'cause I was never planning on leaving you. I mean you're like my very own kind of crack and no matter how much I try to ditch you, I can't 'cause I'm kinda addicted to everything about you." Elise replied.

I smiled for the upteenth time in the last 20 or so minutes because somehow I had managed to find someone who was almost as dorky as I am and I couldn't be more grateful because only she would be able to understand my awkward explanation of imprinting. The rest of the way to Sam's house we were both quiet, but it was mostly because Elise had fallen asleep and I only knew that because I could hear her softly snoring in my ear.

Jake was pacing on Sam's front porch when I walked up and he looked up when he heard footsteps, I watched his face go from that of relief to slight confusion as he saw Elise's sleeping form in my arms. I chuckled nervously because I had never introduced Elise to Jake or Quill, actually no one besides my mom and the pack knew I had a girlfriend.

Sam stepped outside and his hard expression immediately softened as he saw Elise asleep in my arms. I walked up the steps and softly said, "Sorry it took me a while, she's not easy to wake up and then I was trying to find the best way to explain to her what I exactly am; I'm just glad she happens to be a very understanding person."

Sam nodded and then called for Jared who appeared in the doorway immediately, Sam turned to him and said, "Take Embry's imprint into the spare room and keep an eye on her till Embry can be with her."

Jared nodded and moved to grab her, but I stepped back suddenly overcome with a strong feeling to keep her safe and I was ready for Sam to say something then I noticed both his and Jared's posture change.

"Embry, get inside and stay with your girl and Emily." Sam said his voice demanding.

I quickly followed his orders as Paul stepped around me, the door shut behind him and Emily turned to me with a soft smile. I gave her a soft smile in return and walked into the living room, I gently laid Lisie down on the couch and then sat down on the floor beside her head. I watched Emily in the kitchen and softly grabbed Lisie's hand when her arm fell across my shoulder, my heart was beating quickly and my senses were on full alert as I kept a careful eye on Emily and listened for any sort of threat. I could smell the stench of a leech in the air and it made my blood boil at the thought that one had been so close to my girl; and I suddenly knew exactly what Jared and Sam must feel for their girls, I didn't mind the feeling though because it was what I had always felt towards and about Elise just more intense.


I really hope you beautiful people enjoyed this chapter because I feel like it's a bit awkward, but it makes it kind of realistic. That's what I think at least, though I would love to hear what you dolls have to say so don't be afraid to leave a comment or two! Love you peeps! *MUAH* ~Peace
