Bella's Pov
Well Paul was going to take some warming up to. He didn't really like me much, but he tolerated me because of the imprint. He had a problem with me because of my, once upon a time association with the, Cullen's. He saw me as a "Vampire lover." I wasn't a "Vampire lover." I liked the Cullen's, when I had been with, Edward, but that had been the extent of it. I was getting annoyed with him calling me 'Leech lover' every time, Sam, left the room. I swear if I could, I would rip the guy in half. I don't know how any of the others put up with him anyways. His bad attitude was enough to drive a preacher to cuss. Paul was going to take a lot of work.
The others were cool though. I liked them. Even Jake was coming around, it had been 3 weeks since the whole, I imprinted on you, and I stole you're dream girl thing happened. Jake seemed to be accepting things, but there was still a slight awkwardness to the whole thing. She still felt guilty. He was trying though, and she admired him for that. Seth was her favorite, and she loved Paul's imprint, Emily, she was so sweet. She didn't put up with Paul's crap either, and had slapped him up top his head the other day, when he had called me, Leech Lover. Kim was a nice girl to. She was Jared's girl, and she was crazy about him.
Currently I am with Seth, the baby of the pack. Not that he looks like a baby, cause he so does not. He's just the youngest, and the nicest of the guy's. We were doing the whole bonding thing, it was, Sam's, idea. Tomorrow I would be spending an hour with, Quil and Embry, at least they would have each other, so they wouldn't get bored. Seth and I were at his house playing video games. He was so much better at this than I was, but I was catching on. I would get better with practice; I think I would have to get myself an, XBOX360, or whatever just so I could practice.
"So Seth, do you like being a wolf?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's ok. I like," boom, a bomb exploded in the game, "the strength and speed," he said, as he took out another enemy.
Humans had another enemy out there; one that they thought was fictional, one I knew wasn't fictional. Vampires. They were an enemy that humans couldn't defend themselves against. If a vampire wants you it will have you. James had wanted me, and he almost had me, I owed the, Cullen's, gratitude for that. Or did I really, now that I thought about it, being with Edward, is what put me in danger in the first place. Yet I wanted to be with, Edward, so I suppose it's as much my fault as his.
"Heavy thoughts over there?" Seth asked, sparing me a glance.
"I was just thinking about how humans don't know they have an enemy they are powerless to, an enemy they think is a fictional character," I said. "A vicious creature that kills with out a second
thought, if it wants' you, it will have you. You're screwed cause you're powerless against it."
"You are talking about Vampire's right?" he asked.
"Yes, Vampire's," I said, nodding.
"Well now there's us, you don't got to worry about any vampire whisking you away ever again. We will protect you," Seth said, reassuringly.
"Yeah, I know you will. At least from vampires, you can't protect me from myself. I am the biggest klutz, and I end up hurting myself most the time," I told him.
"Well I promise to do my best as you're friend to protect you, even from yourself," he said.
I spent the rest of our time together trying to defeat him, but it was no use. I was just going to have to practice hard and come back and try again. I was a sad to see our time come to an end when, Sam, came to pick me up for Date night. Seth gave me a hug goodbye, and then went back to his videogames. He had another hour before he met up with, Embry and Paul for patrol.
"Did you have fun with, Seth?" Sam asked, as I buckled my seat belt, and he put the truck in drive.
"Yeah, he is so much better at the whole videogame thing, but with practice I think I could eventually kick his butt," I said, smiling. He laughed, and reached over to take my hand in his. Then his smile went away, and I remembered the serious look that had been on his face when Seth had answered the door. He had pulled Seth outside, only for a minute, but Seth came back with the same serious look. He had replaced it quickly with his teasing smile, but not before I saw it. "Sam, what's wrong?"
He sighed, "Bella, there's a vampire hanging around," he said, squeezing her fingers lightly. "it's fast and none of the guy's can seem to keep up with it. We keep losing it's trail."
"It? So it's not a Cullen?" I asked.
"No, which mean's, until we have eliminated this threat, you are to be careful. No unnecessary dangers, got that?" He said. " No jumping off cliffs, no going for walks in the woods alone, if you want to go for a walk in the woods take one of the guys. Paul, Jared, Seth, you get my point."
"Ok, no walking off cliffs or in woods alone, got it," I said, "but for now I think I'll stick with anyone, but Paul, until we get on better terms with each other."
"Paul's not so bad," Sam said, defensively.
"Well, I'd rather kiss a fish, then go anywhere with that pup," I grumbled. "He calls me names every time you leave the room."
"I am going to kill him. I told him to knock that crap off," Sam growled, "He is going to learn to listen whether I have to beat it into him or what. He's just naturally rebellious, but I am alpha. He will obey or he will suffer."
"No, don't hurt him," I said, feeling a sudden protectiveness for Paul for some reason. Sam chuckled at that.
"You two like each other, you just don't realize it. You two pick on each other, and bicker like siblings. Emily said you stole Paul's Gatorade, that was awfully brave of you. Not even one of us guys would do that," Sam said, smiling at her.
"I didn't see his name on it," I said, "and I was thirsty." He laughed, picked up my hand, and kissed it.
"Getting back to serious part of this, I want you on the reservation as much as possible during the day. During the night I'm going to have a couple of guy's patrolling in forks, and I will stake out the wood's near you're place.," Sam said. " I am not taking any chances, we don't know what this blood sucker wants, we don't even know if its male or female."
"I promise I wont take any unnecessary risks," I said squeezing his hand, I sighed, even if it means holding hands with Paul to take walks in the woods." So there was a vampire out there, I hoped they could catch it soon before it could hurt anyone. I wondered if it was anyone I knew, Victoria, back for revenge. I didn't suggest this to Sam, I would later on. Maybe when we had more information on the vampire, I didn't want him to think I was paranoid or crazy.
"I never said you had to hold hands with him. In fact, I prefer you didn't. I don't like the thought of you holding any other guy's hand but mine," Sam said, possessively.
"I don't want to hold anyone's hand, but your's," I said, reassuringly.
"Good," Sam said.
They drove up to his house a few minutes later, he lived alone in a nice 2 bedroom house. It was cute, and I really liked visiting. He got out, and hurried over to my side to help me out of the truck. Once my feet were on the ground he took my hand, and we went up to the house. The first thing he did was turned the lights on, and sat his key's in the bowl by the door. Then he kicked his shoes off, and got rid of his shirt. God, Sam without a shirt was better than chocolate. I made my way to the kitchen, with him not far behind. He was like a lovesick puppy.
"What should we have for dinner?" I asked him.
"How about lots of Pancakes?" Sam said, "with bacon and syrup." He had dreamy eyes, and I couldn't say no, so it was breakfast for dinner.
"Sounds yummy," I said, and started pulling all the ingredients out for the pancakes, and the Bacon. He pulled all the pans and dishes out. Together we worked to make a delicious meal. One of my favorite breakfast foods.
When we sat down to eat, Sam, Sat next to me. He always sat next to me. He always wanted to be close to me. I was still iffy on this imprint thing. I don't like the fact that he doesn't have a choice when it comes to being with me. Sure he doesn't mind now, its all new at the moment. Later on though the newness will wear off, and I'm afraid resentment will set in. What if he leaves? I have grown attached these past 3 weeks, he's become my very best friend, that attachment would only grow deeper as time went on. I was scared of the future, of my future with, Sam, and it was all Edwards fault.
When we finished eating we cleaned up, and went into the living room to put in a movie. Sam picked out, Young Guns. We cuddled up on the couch to watch the movie, I leaned up against him, and he wrapped his arm around me.
"Do you think the Cullen's, will ever come back?" Sam asked, surprising her.
"No, Edward, said they were going away to protect me, and were never coming back again," I said.
"What if they do come back?" Sam said.
"I'm not going back to him, if that's what you're trying to ask," I said. "I like this thing with us, granted I don't like this imprinting thing, but I like you. I like being around you, and the pack, especially Seth, he is such a cutie."
"Cutie!" Sam said, giving her a look.
"Yes, he is adorable, in a little brother type way. He is my favorite. I have to get myself an Xbox whatever so I can Practice, and kick his butt next time," I said. He laughed.
"Seth, likes you two, and I have an Xbox whatever, you can practice on it whenever you want," Sam said, smiling dropping a kiss on my shoulder before turning his attention back to the movie. Tomorrow she would hang with Quil and Embry, on her way to getting better acquainted with the pack. Then she just had Paul to reach. He wouldn't be easy, but he'd be the loyalist once she won him over. And how did you win a man over, well there was 2 ways, the way in bed was out, cause pretty sure if Sam didn't kill him Emily would, then she'd kill me. So we'd have to go with option number two, through the mans stomach. I was going to win him over with my kick ass, cooking skills. Sometimes you had to use bribery in life to get what you wanted. Besides one of us had to be the bigger person, and start being nice. It wasn't going to be Paul, that much was apparent.
