Author's Note: I know it's been a REALLY long time since I have updated this story. I don't really have any excuses except I haven't had any motivation to write. I was reading back over my story today and decided to finish it. I'm not sure how good this chapter or the next are, but the story is now complete. Hope you like it.
Chapter 3
When I said Jake was human, I wasn't completely right. Jake phased into one of the wolves after a red headed vamp started running around. At first no one could figure out what she was doing dancing around the forest and running off. It was like she was looking for something, but no one knew what.
After Jake phased we were eating supper at Billy's one night and Jacob was telling us about the pack losing the red head once again. She jumped off the cliffs into the ocean. When he described her to us, Bella became very quiet and still. She told us she thought she knew what the vamp wanted. HER!
It was hard to hear someone wanted to kill my baby bells. She told us the red headed vamps name was Vicky and she probably wanted Bella to die to avenge her mate. When she told us what really happened when she was hurt in Phoenix, I not only wanted to kill this vamp, but the whole Cullen Clan too. It was their fault Bella was in danger now.
We decided to spend the night that night since the damn red head had been hanging around more the last few days. After Bella went to bed in the twins' old room, Jake and Billy asked to speak to me. That night they told me about imprinting. I wasn't sure I liked the thought of people being forced to love each other, but I guess it would cut down on divorce rates. Ha Ha.
Jake told me that while he did love Bella he didn't imprint on her. He said he would be the best friend she ever had, but he wouldn't try to take it further. After they told me about what happened with Sam, Emily & Leah, I was grateful he loved Bella enough to let her go.
Three weeks later the pack finally caught a break. I wasn't happy how it happened, but it was great in the end. The red head or 'Icky Vicky' (as some of the guys had been calling her), was finally dead.
Bella had been on first beach with Jake and Embry horsing around. The boys heard a howl so they took off in the woods to phase after telling Bella to head back to Billy's. The pack was chasing some vamp with dreadlocks. The red head had snuck around and came up on the beach from the water. Bella saw her and ran, but being the klutz she is fell in the parking lot. She scraped her knees and hands pretty badly. When the vamp smelled the blood she went crazy. She was within ten feet of Bella when Paul dived from the woods tackling her.
He had been in the shower singing along with the radio when the first howl came so he didn't hear it. Since he was late phasing and the pack was too far out and could take the vamp with dreads, Sam sent Paul to make sure Bella made it back to Billy's. He was able to catch her by surprise since she was blinded by her bloodlust. When Paul tackled her he was able to get his jaws around her neck and take her head off, but not before she was able to get her arms around his wolf body and squeeze. Paul felt his ribs breaking and howled in pain.
When he hit the ground he phased back to human. Seeing what happened Sam sent Jake, Embry & Quil back to the beach. They had caught the vamp with dreads and were burning him. Bella having seen Paul hurt and phase back rushed to him. She saw the red head trying to reattach her head. Thinking quickly she grabbed the lighter from the pocket of his shorts on his ankle. She knew all of the pack carried them. She held the lighter to the red heads hair and it went up in flames. When the fire hit the venom leaking from the vamps neck the rest of her body caught fire quickly.
By the time Jake, Embry & Quil made it to the beach the red head was ashes and Bella was sitting in the sand with Paul's head in her lap. He had passed out from the pain. She had taken off her jacket and laid it over his lap. The boys picked Paul up and took him to Billy's. When I got there a couple hours later Paul was passed out in Jake's room. Bella was in the kitchen cooking everything she could find. Cooking seemed to soothe her so I left her to it.
Billy told me how Bella and Paul took down the red head and I was amazed and proud of my daughter and extremely grateful to Paul for saving her. About an hour later Paul woke up. Bella took him some soup and some pain meds. She asked me to carry the glass of tea she made for him while she carried the tray with soup and crackers. Bella sat the tray down on the night stand then sat down on the bed beside Paul. She took the damp cloth she had on the tray and began to wipe the sweat from his face.
When Paul opened his eyes and looked into Bella's, they just stared at each other. After five minutes I began to worry. I called Bella's name a couple times. She either didn't hear me or she was ignoring me. Finally I called for Billy. When he came to the door and saw them, he smiled. He told me that Paul just imprinted on my little girl.
Knowing what imprinting meant, I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. On one hand I knew she would never have to worry about a man leaving her or cheating on her. I knew he would treat her right and give her everything she wants and needs. On the other hand, I had just gotten her back after Edward destroyed her to only lose her again. Now Paul would be the center of her world. Finally, I decided to be happy about it. I couldn't change it if I wanted to. Plus, I knew the imprinting meant my baby would be here close to me the rest of her life instead of moving back close to her mom.
When Jake found out he had a hard time. He knew he couldn't be with Bella, but it hurt him to see her with his pack brother. He still loved her.
After Paul healed he and Bella began dating. He was very respectful to her and to me. He always had her home on time and never tried to keep her from me or her friends like Edward did.
When it was time for Bella's senior prom her friend Angela didn't have a date. She had broken up with her boyfriend Ben when he cheated on her with the school slut, Lauren. Bella asked Jake to take her. He didn't want to, but finally agreed. I laughed my ass off when Paul and Jake showed up at my house that night, to get the girls. As soon as Jake's eyes met Angela's he looked like he saw a ghost. I knew he had imprinted after witnessing Paul and Bella's.
After they left I went to Billy's to watch the game and drink a few beers. I had agreed that since Bella was 18 and with the man she was going to marry she could spend the night there, as long as she didn't make me a grandpa until after they were married. When I told Billy about Jake's imprint, he was happy Jake found his imprint and could get over Bella now.
Funny enough that wasn't the only imprint I witnessed. The pack started calling me their good luck charm. A couple weeks after Jake imprinted on Angela, I was headed to first beach. Bella's truck had died. Jake was going to look at it, but Bella, Angela and their friend Jessica needed a ride home. I saw Quil walking down the road toward La Push from Forks. He said he was patrolling the woods in Forks when Paul and Jake relieved him. Their thoughts were centered on Bella and Angela and he couldn't take anymore so he decided to phase back and walk home. I told him to get in and I would drop him off after I got the girls from the beach. When the girls got in, Quil turned around to say hi. When his eyes connected with Jessica's I knew imprinting struck again.
Then not long after that, Rachel came home to see Billy. She had graduated from college early and just turned 21. I drove Billy to the airport to pick her up. When we made it back to Billy's, Jake and the boys came out to get her things and bam Embry imprints.
All six wolves were now happily imprinted.
