Chapter Three

Alla's POV

I ran through the trees with Nessie, Rosalie and Emmett. My auntie and uncle were taking us hunting whilst mum and dad had some time to themselves. The wind rushed past my ears and burned my eyes; I could tell Emmett was getting slightly annoyed with our slow pace. We were very fast, me and Nessie, but because we were only half vampire we weren't as fast as full vampires. I tried to speed up, pushing myself to the limit but I couldn't physically go any faster. After a while of running we slowed down and the smell of deer's blood filled my nostrils. I grinned and followed my nose, just like the others did. I looked round a tree and saw a deer, feeding on long strands of grass that managed to grow through the muddy undergrowth. Before it even noticed me I was next to it and I sunk my teeth into its side. It fell limp within seconds and I drank every last drop of blood. My thirst was easily quenched and I ran off to find the others.

I must've run a bit too far because when I stopped I found myself on the cliff in la push that mum jumped from all those years ago. I walked slowly to the edge and looked over, seeing the dark wave's crash against the rocks violently at the bottom. I wondered what made mum jump; it didn't look very inviting to me. I could taste the salt from the sea on the end of my tongue and feel the spray hitting my pale skin. I looked up towards the dark sky and felt icy rain drops hit my face. I shut my eyes and stuck my tongue out, tasting the rain like I used to when I was little. I laughed happily to myself; I hadn't stood in the rain for years. It started pouring out of the clouds heavily and I heard my name being called.

"Alla!" I heard Nessie's voice. "Where are you?" I took one last look at the sea before running into the trees, following the sound of my sister's voice. Nessie was suddenly quiet and I looked around and listened for any sign of her or my auntie and uncle. I heard Emmett's voice and followed it, desperate to find my family.

"There you are." Emmett picked me up and sat me on his shoulders, when I was with my family I felt like such a kid. I grinned uncontrollably and held onto Emmett's hair as he ran. Rosalie was carrying Nessie and was following behind us, they obviously wanted to get home as quickly as possible and if me and Nessie ran we would slow them down.

When I got inside I was soaking, I didn't understand how Rosalie and Nessie had stayed so dry, they must have run under more trees than Emmett did. He thought it was hilarious and couldn't stop laughing.

"Emmett!" I moaned, punching him on the shoulder. He just laughed harder and I wished I was stronger than him to so I could really hurt him. "Stop laughing." I yelled, even though I was fighting from laughing myself. He grinned at me and scooped me up, hanging me upside down. I screamed and tried to punch him but he just held me at arm's length.

"Alla, you are funny." He smirked.

"Emmett put me down!" I shouted.

"Okay." He smiled and put me on the floor, head first.

"Ouch." I said. He just laughed again. "I'm going to get changed." I said, rubbing my head. As I walked up the stairs I could still hear Emmett laughing. I decided I'd go for a shower before I got changed and grabbed my towel from my room before walking to the bathroom. I reached for the handle but the door opened before I grabbed it. George emerged from it and smiled at me.

"You're a bit wet." He said, observing me. I sighed. "It's all yours." He pointed to the bathroom. I thanked him, went inside and locked the door. I showered quickly and then ran back to my bed room, changing quickly. As I walked downstairs I heard hushed voices coming from the kitchen.

"You have to tell her." I heard Jacob hiss.

"But I wouldn't know how." George's voice seemed worried.

"You can't keep something that big from Alla, it's unfair, what if she feels the same way about you? You two could be happy together, like me and Nessie." There was no answer from George and this conversation confirmed what Nessie had told me the other day. I looked at my hand that gripped the stair rail and noticed it was shaking. I gulped and backed away up the stairs as I heard Jacob speak.

"She needs to know, and if you don't tell her soon I will." I heard the door click open and I ran up the stairs, my heart beating viciously in my chest. I ran into my room and slumped on my bed, a thousand thoughts running through my head. Did I like George? What would I say to him if he came and told me now? I was shaking all over and I told myself I was being silly, imprint didn't always mean love, sometimes it meant friendship. That thought made my heart sink. I didn't want it to just be friendship but I couldn't get myself to admit I wanted it to be love. I sighed and rolled over. Footsteps walked along the landing and approached my door, I froze. I saw the shadow under my door pause and then disappear. I relaxed slightly but was still worrying. I heard two shaky knocks and panic swallowed me. I bit my lip and walked shakily to the door, praying it wasn't George. I grabbed the handle slowly and tried hard to stop myself shaking. I opened the door gently and listened to the noise it made as it slid along the carpet. I looked up to see a worried looking George standing there. I knew he'd come to tell me and I knew that was why he was worried. If I looked worried it would only make it harder for him, and I didn't want that, so I put on a brave face.

"Err. Hey, can I come in?" His voice was shaky and I moved aside and pointed to a chair. He walked in and sat down, putting his hands in his lap. I shut the door and sat on the edge of the bed, looking expectantly at him. I heard him gulp and he ran his hand through his hair nervously. I blinked and waited, but I desperately wanted him to spit it out. He looked at his lap and bit his lip.

"I… err…" I could hear his breathing was unsteady and I wanted to tell him I already knew, but what if it wasn't an imprint they were talking about? "I err… need to tell you that, I err…" I watched his eyes glisten nervously and his hand shake slightly. "I think I imprin-" I cut him off.

"Shush." I whispered. He looked at me and I looked at him and the next thing I did was a spur of the moment thing, but I knew I wouldn't regret it. I leant forward and kissed him lightly, just once, on the lips. My heart leapt and he looked at me when we pulled apart, shocked.

"-ted on you." He finished his sentence and I smiled. He blinked hard, probably not believing what just happened. "How, what…?" His expression was puzzled and his eyes had a weird gleam to them.

"Alice saw someone imprint on me, Nessie guessed it was you and told me and then I heard you and Jake talking in the kitchen just now." I said that all in one mouthful. I laughed at his lost expression. "You looked like you needed some help in saying that you imprinted on me. It wasn't going to come out easily." I said. He smiled but it was obvious he was still a little dumbstruck.

"Do you like me?" He asked. I nodded quickly. "Remember that time in the longue the other day, when I said you thought Nessie was the favourite, and that every loved Nessie more than they loved you?" I nodded. "I wanted to tell you then, that I loved you way more than Nessie, but I couldn't bring myself to say it." I smiled and George got up and walked over to me. He sat on the bed next to me and put his hands on either side of my face.

"I love you Alla Cullen." He whispered. This was all going a little fast, but that was how my world worked, you didn't fall in love over a long period of time, you just found your soul mate as quick as a flash. It sounded weird saying it in my head but George Hagon was my soul mate, and I was his. He leant forward and pressed his lips against mine and I melted into him. He wound his arms round me and pulled me towards him so my head was on his chest. I sighed heavily. I didn't really know what to do or say so I just stayed quiet and for some reason I started thinking about school, and Leon. Man would he be pissed off when he found out I was going out with George.

I heard someone shout dinner and as quick as a flash me and George were at the table. I didn't want to have to announce to everyone that I had a boyfriend and had found my soul mate so I decided I'd leave it to them to work it out. I sat between Nessie and George and ate my spaghetti; I was starving even though I'd just been hunting. The slippery pasta slid down my throat and I was glad when I had eaten some food. After dinner Nessie, Jake, me and George all went into the lounge, though I wasn't quite sure why, I suppose it just happened to be the way we were going. I slumped on the sofa and George sat down next to me. I think he was a little bit nervous around me and I didn't blame him, or didn't mind if he went and sat on the other side of the room, or left the whole house. He had only joined the werewolf pack about a week ago and had already imprinted, he was the youngest of them to imprint. It was probably all a bit much for him and I was happy to let him get used to the world of fairytales before we started showing people we were together. Jake sat on a chair and Nessie sat in his lap, curling up in his arms. I picked up the remote and passed it to George, who took it and smiled. I lay on the sofa and let him choose something to watch. He flicked through the channels and I looked at Nessie and Jake. I could tell Jacob wanted to know if he'd told me or not, I suppose he was just trying to be responsible, but George didn't have to tell me if he didn't want to, it's his life. Though I would have been annoyed if he didn't tell me, it was huge! I closed my eyes and thought of when I kissed George and then he kissed me, it was like pure magic. The feel of his warm hands on my face, intertwined with my straggly hair, the feel of his lips on mine, it was all magic, it was all amazing. My eyes were still closed but I felt someone take my hand that was lying limp on the sofa. I opened my eyes and looked at my hand, there was a russet brown one holding mine and I looked up at George, whose eyes were on me and smiled, and he smiled back.
