Rebecca's POV
Okay, so going to La Push's First Beach was probably a bad idea…but not as much as going through the woods were La Push and Forks connected. Hey, I already made the mistake of coming on their land and I thought that making a shortcut through the trees, I'd make it back to my car sooner…Too bad I didn't count on the gigantic wolves stopping me.
As soon as the three wolves stepped out from between some trees, I froze. Um, I don't believe dogs are supposed to be that big. Oh, he looks fluffy. Wait…big dogs…no, wolves…Wolves…Oh my fucking shit, are these things werewolves?
My eyes grew wide because I've heard of werewolves but never actually seen one, let alone three. I hid behind my hair and tried to sneak away before they could notice me. That might have worked, had the animals not have seen me. The one closest to me growled loudly, which caused me to get, well, angry. He got down in what looked like a crouch so I mirrored him…or is it a her? I am in no position to check so I stayed in my fighting pose…When all of a sudden, they stopped thinking like animals and started thinking like humans…well, human males.
Yo, isn't this the chick that Paul imprinted on? – 1
I don't think so. – 2
Nah, dude, think about it. Remember what she looked like, she had dark brown hair, equally brown eyes…they were both randomly walking in the forest. Who in their right mind would be in the middle of the forest? – 1
I stared at them, thinking to myself about how that was just plane rude.
Anyone could be. – 3
But do they smell like that? – 1
I resent that. "Hey, I don't smell!" Whoops. I brought my hands up to cover my mouth, but it was too late, they heard me. Damn!
What? – 1, 2 and 3
Quil, what did you guys find? – Unknown
Um, Sam…Remember that girl Embry told you about? Yeah, well, she's here and I think she can read minds. – Quil
"Actually," I interrupted, placing my hands to my sides, "I control minds. Not just hear what you think."
See? Quil continued. I can smell leech on her. She shouldn't be trusted.
I sighed. "Calling people 'leech' is not nice. Even if they are." I smacked my forehead with my palm. "I mean, calling a vampire that is fucked up. How would you like it if I called y'all 'mutts' or 'pup' or an overgrown-good-for-nothing-smells-like-ass dog? See, that wasn't nice at all, was it?"
The one farthest away laughed. She told you, Quil.
Seth, you're a werewolf too. Embry cut in, and that stopped Seth's howls of laughter.
"M'kay, my family must be worried about me since I ditched my last class…and I seem to be lost. So can one of you help me find my way out?"
They acted like they couldn't hear me and went on with their conversation.
You can tell something is seriously wrong with her. She doesn't smell right, her heartbeat is wild, and she can control minds! Don't you think she's messed up? Quil continues with his rude thoughts as if I weren't here.
It doesn't matter. The one named Sam spoke…or thought. She's Paul's imprint. And that means no harm shall come of her.
I'm starting to like this Sam. I think he might protect me from these savage beasts. But who's this Paul they speak off? Oh well, as long as Sam's around, I'm safe…I think. But either way, he was so totes on my awesome list!
Quil turned back to me and growled softly. Not in a menacing way, but threatening. You know what we think? I nodded slowly and after a moment of thought he continued. Follow us, we'll show you the way to town. Forks, correct?
"Yuppers. Can I ask you a-"
Just shut up and follow me.
Pushy. Haha, that rhymes with tushy. But nevertheless, I followed the dogs until I could smell the scent of salt water, sand, and humans. Hey, First Beach. As we neared the edge of the forest, the three slowed to a halt.
You can find your way back from here, right? Seth questioned.
I just nodded and when I turned around to thank them, they were all gone. But I was still able to hear their thoughts.
SETH CLEARWATER! An unknown voice rang clear in their heads.
Shoot, dude. What does you sister want now? Doesn't she know that Sam has us out here for patrol? The third canine questioned.
It's not my fault; she's just –
I laughed as I got back in my car and sped of the way I came. I knew how to escape the woods from where we were, but I wouldn't have gotten the satisfaction of annoying Quil. The smile on my face fell when I realized Ma and the others would immediately know where I was by the scent that spread across my clothes. Whoops, we can't have that now, can we? Oh well, wonder how I'll get punished this time?
Upon entering the empty house, I had worried myself to the point of exhaustion. Carlisle must still be at work, Esme, probably, hunting, and school has just let out. Okay, I told myself. With Edward driving, I have about three maybe five minutes until they return. If Alice drives, I'll get an extra three minutes. I know how she likes to 'stop and smell the roses'.
Racing upstairs, I started the shower and shed the clothes as quick as I could. After throwing the dog-scented clothing into a metal trash bin in my room, I searched for my favorite lighter. Everyone has a favorite something, mine just happens to be a black lighter with an eagle on either side. I wrapped a towel around my torso and lit the contents of the trash on fire. Watching them burn, I almost forgot about erasing any proof of werewolves from my body.
I washed quickly but thoroughly, and by the time I had finished Alice was sitting on my bed with a set of clothes in her hand. Don't tell anyone but her appearance startled me and I gripped the towel covering my body tighter.
"Hey, Alice what's-"
"Why did I find the remains of the clothes you wore today in the trash?" She interrupted.
Uh oh. "I went hunting after I left school. It was messy. There was blood everywhere on my outfit. So I burned them." I was speaking too fast. And by her expression, it looked like she didn't believe me.
"How come I couldn't see you?"
"It was a last minute decision." The lies came easy now.
"Your future completely disappeared."
That's scary… But she continued. "You wanna tell me the truth?"
"Not really." Help! Edward, help! "Where's Edward?"
Alice's face fell. "Emmett, Rosalie, and Jazz went hunting."
"That's great but I didn't ask about them. I asked about my brain partner." Her silence scared me. "What are you not telling me?"
"Edward…went to Alaska. And from what I see, he's not coming back."
That's not good. If he's gone, I can't do my mind trick! I can't read thoughts! Wait…I read the thoughts of the werewolves! Maybe since I used his power so much it stuck! "When did he leave?"
"Half an hour ago. But he took Carlisle's car, he could already be there by now."
Okay, there goes my theory. He was still here when I talked to them…I'm a bad sister; here I am thinking only of myself when my brain brother left to a whole different state, for who-knows-how-long. And none of us know why! "Do you know why he left?"
"All I saw was him attacking Bella in the middle of class but that didn't happen. He stopped it before it could become reality. But if it was because of her that she left, he shouldn't have. He had the strength to reel in his thirst!"
"Alice, calm down. We'll find out why he left but there's nothing we can do. He's a big boy, he's gotta leave the nest after he can fly on his own."
"Are you trying to help? 'Cause it's not working."
I sighed. "Would you like me to tell you about me day?" That quieted her. Her liquid gold orbs bore into mine, curiously.
"But before I start, you gotta answer a few questions for me. Okay, one, why are we not allowed on La Push land?" She's the best person I could ask, everyone else would get mad, or not take me seriously, in Emmett'' case.
"A few decades ago, before Jasper and I joined, the rest of the family lived here. But we weren't the only mythical creatures here. Werewolves, our natural born enemy-" Oh, strike one, B. "-lived on La Push. We were banned from hunting on their territory, or technically stepping foot over there." Strike two! "A treaty was made, if we bite a human they're allowed to attack, if they attack us without reason, we attack, for the most part."
I nodded, deep in thought. "What does 'imprint' mean?" The look she gave me was one of terror and shock.
"Imprint, it is a werewolf word for when they meet their soul mate, or true love…Why are you asking these questions?" Ooo, there goes strike three! Batter out!
"Um, I kinda…sorta… Went-Over-To-La-Push-On-Accident-Today-And-Overheard-Them-Talking-About-Someone-Imprinting-On-Me."
"…What? That's impossible. You're part vampire, he's a werewolf! You're not even the same species!"
He outburst scared me. "It's not like I asked for this to happen! What am I supposed to do! I'm freaking out here!"
"...Yeah, sorry...I didn't mean to yell."
"It's cool…what do I do?"
She shrugged. "I guess…you can tell him who you are…get to know each other and see how it goes from there…I promise I'll keep this to myself. You can tell everyone…But if I were you, I'd tell Carlisle right away."
"True, true…do you really believe that this 'imprint' could work even though we're two different species, fighting since birth, archenemies?"
"If I know you, which I do," she winked and pointed to her head; "you will find some way to make it work."
"Thanks Alice. Now, let's dispose of the clothes before Emmett catches whiff of it."
She nodded. "I could smell the wolf on you before I even entered the house. Bleach the trash can and spray some freshener through the house."
"Really? What do they smell like?"
"…You can't smell the disgusting wet dog smell, can you?"
I shook my head. "Nope. To me…they smell like any other human…Except a little less appetizing."
This is how my internal debate started. Do I go out and find Paul or wait here for him or do I just ignore the wolves? The pain in my chest started when I thought of forgetting about Paul. Well, that's not an option any more.
