Disclaimer: I ONLY own Natalie, and Derrick. And the plot. But that's it.

Let's Play Pretend Chapter 4: The Legends

I woke up the next day with arms wrapped around me. I was also pressed up against a hard, hot, body. The grip was tight and protective. It made me feel safe, loved and cared for. I smiled and relaxed against the body until I realised what I was doing. I pulled away and tried getting out of the grip. I heard shuffling and then someone nuzzled my neck.

"Good morning Natalie. Did you sleep well?" I nodded and tried getting out of the grip. Embry pulled me back and growled lightly in a playful way.

"Oh no you don't missy." I rolled my eyes and turned around to face Embry. I looked up into his eyes and almost melted. He had the most gorgeous brown eyes I've ever seen. He had the cutest smile and he had small adorable dimples. He was all in all gorgeous. I felt myself falling for him at an alarming rate. And I was scared out of my mind. I didn't want to fall in love. But I was.

Embry brought me out of my thoughts by kissing my nose. I giggled and smiled brightly at him. Inwardly, I wanted to slap myself for falling for him.

"A penny for your thoughts Natalie?" I looked down and then back up at him.

"I was just thinking." Embry smiled and brushed my hair away from my face.

"Can I do something Natalie?" I nodded nervously. Embry pulled me closer. He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine softly. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. Screw not wanting to fall in love.

"EMBRY! WHAT THE HELL?! THAT'S MY ADOPTED DAUGHTER!" Embry pulled away and saw Sam standing in the doorway, arms crossed shaking. I turned around and got a disappointed stare.

"Sam, calm down please." She turned to Embry and gave him that same disapproving look.

"Embry, I think it'd be best if you left now." Embry unwrapped himself from me and got out of the bed. He walked to the door and he was stopped by Sam.

"I want to talk to you." Embry chuckled nervously and nodded.

"Sam, let me talk to Embry. You can talk to Natalie." Sam nodded and kissed Emily. I tried not to giggle. Embry saw that, and he made a face. I erupted in giggles. Embry smiled like he had just won the lottery. I was about to say flirt back when a look from Sam stopped me.

"You should talk to Emily." Embry rolled his eyes at Sam and walked out after Emily. I giggled and bit my lip. I know that I should be trying to resist falling for Embry, but whatever. I couldn't stop it.

"Why were you making out with Embry on your bed, in your room alone?" I looked away from Sam and thought for a bit.

"Ummm...I fell asleep last night and I woke up and he was there." Sam gave me a look and then he sat in a chair in front of me.

"Ummm...listen...We should have the 'talk'." Sam looked uncomfortable which made me start giggling. Sam sighed and got up. He motioned me to follow him. He walked out of the room and he walked downstairs where Emily and Embry were talking.

"I'm going to talk to Embry. You talk to Natalie." I giggled and Embry gave me a strange look.

"Alright. If you insist Sam." Sam didn't say anything. He walked out briskly and Embry followed him. I sat down on the couch and giggled again. Emily gave me a look and I rolled my eyes.

"The talk." That's all I had to say and then she nodded and smiled.

"So...you and Embry." I nodded and smiled. I knew that I was blushing but I didn't care.

The Next Day

I woke up tired and annoyed. Turns out that Sam had set my alarm for me so that I would wake up in time for school. I wish I didn't have to go. I had actually shut my alarm off and almost went back to sleep. That was until Sam had come upstairs and ripped my blankets off and carried me downstairs.

He sat me down in the chair, and walked back upstairs. He came back down and he was dressed. I sat there zoned out for a bit. Emily smiled at me and she sat food in front of me. I looked at it and then I looked back at her.

"You need to eat. You're too thin." Sam told me and I ate. There was something about his voice that made me listen to him. I don't know what it was, but it was something.

"You should get going, or you're going to be late." I nodded and I grabbed my backpack. I slung it over my shoulder and said goodbye to Sam and Emily.

I walked outside and I saw Embry standing there leaning on a nice black truck. I smiled and walked over to him, and looked at his truck.

"What are you doing here?" He smiled and grabbed my backpack from me. He put it in the truck and climbed in. I rolled my eyes and got in on the other side.

"I didn't know that I was being picked up." Embry smiled and laughed and pulled away. He drove towards the school and I got a nervous feeling in my stomach.

Embry parked and I grabbed my backpack and walked away. I didn't wait for him. I started looking around, and then I found the office. I opened the door and walked in. I took a deep breath and walked over to the desk.

"Hi. I'm Natalie Reynolds. I'm new here. " The secretary gave me a look and pointed to a bunch of papers sitting on the counter. I grabbed them, smiled and walked out. I was looking at the papers and ran into someone. I apologised and looked up.

There was a guy in front of me that was cute. But didn't compare to Embry. He was tan, taller than me, which isn't saying much because I'm only 5'4. He had shaggy black hair and light brown eyes. He smiled and stuck out his hand.

"Hey. I'm Derrick. You are?" I shook his hand and wanted to pull it back. I shifted my weight from one foot to another.

"Can I see your schedule?" I nodded and handed it to him. He looked it over and handed it back to me. I walked away from him and out of the office. He caught up with me and grabbed my arm to get my attention.

"We have a lot of classes together. Maybe I could show you around?" I looked around trying to find Embry. When I couldn't find him, I rolled my eyes and nodded. I needed SOMEONE to show me around.

"Great, our first class is this way." I nodded and followed him. We went into a main building, and Derrick grabbed my arm and led me down a hall. I rolled my eyes and pulled my arm away from him.

I looked around for Embry again but I still couldn't see him. I heard Derrick say something that he thought was funny. He started laughing and I laughed awkwardly.

"Looks like someone pissed Embry off." I looked up at the mention of Embry and saw him glaring at Derrick. He looked like he was shaking. He caught my eye and he calmed down a bit. Then he started glaring and shaking again. I wondered why until I felt a hand on my lower back that was getting lower and lower.

I took a deep breath and grabbed his hand. I removed it from my back and turned to glare at Derrick. Derrick smiled, and put his arm down. I looked back over at Embry and saw that he was gone, and so was Jared. I shrugged and turned my attention back to Derrick. He was standing close to me, too close. But that was the last thing on my mind. I really wanted to know why Embry had disappeared.
