Bella POV
They all heard Carlisle's car as he arrived home from work, but it was a surprise when he walked in the door with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong dear?" Esme asked, as she ran to her mate's side.
" I received a call from Sam Uley today. He says that one of the wolves has made a claim on Bella's cousin, Hermione. Something called an imprint."
Bella let out an unnecessary gasp. Which one of the wolves had imprinted on her?
"Carlisle, what does this mean?" Edward asked as he came to stand by her side.
"They have asked that we have nothing to do with this girl. If we do, they will consider it breaking the treaty and will not hesitate to attack." His mouth formed a grim line and Esme quickly went to work running her fingers through his hair in an attempt to calm both their nerves.
"What should we do?" Bella asked, scared for her cousin's well being. "We can't just leave her with those monsters, they'll tear her apart!"
"Bella," Carlisle replied calmly. "There is nothing we can do. We simply agree with their requests, and leave Forks."
"What!" Rosalie yelled. "They can't make us leave! What right do they have to say whether we stay or go!"
Carlisle sighed. "Those are exactly the rights they have. The treaty states that, if for any reason, they see us as a threat and want us to go, we must do so. They have to give us a chance to leave first. If we don't take it, they can start a war."
"Well," Esme said, lightly. "When do they want us gone by?"
"In the next hour."
"Then we better start packing."
They all nodded, somewhat begrudgingly, in agreement and ran to their respective rooms. As Bella was stuffing all of her clothes into her suitcase, Edward came and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
"Are you okay, love?" He asked, as he placed a soft kiss to her neck.
"I guess. I just can't believe it. My cousin, my sister almost, being forced to be around those monsters. I can only hope that they don't hurt her." She turned around to face her mate. "Why can't we fight for her?"
Edward gave her a soft smile before shaking his head and bringing her into a tight hug. "It's simple darling. Because we won't win."

Hermione POV
"How long will it be before we get to the Cullen's?" Hermione asked, as they all piled into the truck.
"Not too long," Embry answered. "No more than thirty minutes." Hermione nodded.
As he started the truck, Hermione could tell that he had a nervous look on his face.
"What's wrong Embry?" She placed a caring hand on his shoulder, and she could have sworn that he shuddered.
"Nothing Hermione. I'm fine." He gave her a tight smile, and the rest of the ride was made in silence. Hermione could tell that there was definitely something bothering him, but decided not to push the issue further.
As soon as they pulled into the Cullen's driveway, Hermione knew something was wrong. There were no cars in the open garage and no lights on inside.
"No." Hermione mumbled as she hopped out of the truck and approached the house, the boys not far behind her. She yanked open the door and ran up the stairs.
"Bella? Bella! Edward! Emmett! Alice! Jasper!" She yelled, as she ran and opened every door. Only to find them all empty. "Anyone?"
"Hermione, no one's here." Harry said, as he joined her in Carlisle's study.
"They were our last hope Harry. We're out of people." Hermione said sadly, before taking a deep breath to calm herself down. "We can head to a new town, set up the tent. We'll make this work."
"Hermione, what about your uncle? Maybe we can stay with him."
"Harry, I can't put him in more danger than I already have. We'll probably need to erase his memory."
"What? Erase his memory?" Harry and Hermione both looked towards Embry with 'oh shit' looks on their faces.
"What do we do?" Harry whispered.
"I guess we erase him too." Hermione raised her wand out of her back pocket, and aimed it at his head. "Obli-"
"Wait one minute! No one is doing anything to anyone's mind! What's going on?"
"I'm sorry Embry, but it has to be this way." Hermione said.
"Sleep." a voice said. They had no choice to fall to the ground in unconsciousness.
Hermione's last thought was 'Who the hell is that?'
Embry POV
"Embry, wake up." He opened his eyes to see Sam standing in front of him.
"How did you find us?" Embry asked as he sat up.
"I came to make sure the leeches had left. I heard the commotion and came to make sure everything was alright." He shook his head and let out a bitter chuckle. "Only to these two threatening to do some witchy mojo on you."
"How did you make them listen to you?"
"Even imprints can't fight an alpha order, it's in their blood to listen to me."
Embry looked down at Hermione's motionless body, and felt worry gnaw at his heart. What if she hurt herself when she fell? He quickly made his way over to her and inspected her for any injury, sighing in relief when he could see no blood or bruises.
"Leah has already taken Harry to the reservation. I suggest you do the same with Hermione." He nodded and picked his imprint up gingerly, swiftly carrying her through the house.
Embry took this opportunity to finally get a good look at the girl in his arms. She was small, no more than 5' 2'', with a tiny waist. She had crazy curly brown hair and pale skin, a cute button nose and a heart shaped face. He almost wished that she would open her eyes so that he could look into their dark chocolate depths again.
Sooner than he expected he made it to Sam's house. He opened the door and saw most of the pack inside, surrounding Harry, who was tied to a chair.
"Embry, we're going to need to tie up Hermione too," Sam said, and Embry let out a loud growl. "Only so we can make sure that they aren't a won't hurt her." Embry saw his brothers looking at him and knew that this was necessary, and reluctantly sat Hermione down on the couch and tied her hands behind her back and her ankles together
"I don't like this anymore than you do." Leah said to him. She looked like she was ready to rip the head off of everyone in the room.
After Sam made sure that both of their bindings were secure he spoke. "Wake Up."
Harry and Hermione both opened their eyes and the pack watched as fear slowly started to creep onto their faces.
"What do you want?" Harry spoke first.
"We want to know just who, or what, the hell you are," Sam said. Just as Harry opened his mouth to speak. The front door opened, and in walked Quil and Jacob.
"Sorry we took so long, we were securing the area. What's going on?" Jake said.
"Jacob?" Hermione said, looking as though she had seen a ghost and Embry watched as Jake looked past them to see Hermione tied up.
"Mione? Is that you?" He had a look of awe on his face, which quickly turned into one of fury. "Why is she tied up?" He growled out.
"She tried to attack Embry. She said something about erasing his mind." Sam supplied, curious how Jacob knew this girl.
Jake rolled his eyes. "That's because she's a witch you dumb asses. Now let her up." They all looked at him with surprised looks on their faces.
"Jacob!" Hermione hissed. "You weren't suppose to tell anyone!"
"Honey, I promise that in a few minutes it won't matter." He went over and started to untie her, ignoring Embry's growls. "Now, if you try to run away, I will not hesitate to hunt you down. I promise no one here is going to hurt you." He said, as he released the last knot. They were all a bit surprised when she jumped into Jacob's arms and started to cry. Embry had to fight the urge to rip her out of the embrace and hug her close to him.
"She told me you were dead." She choked out, and Jake gave her a surprised look.
"Who did?"
"Bella. She even sent me pictures of the funeral. I didn't know until after. She said you were in a motorcycle accident." She clutched to Jacob tighter, and buried her head in the crook of his shoulder.
"Um, I hate to interrupt this moment, but being tied to a chair and surrounded by shirtless men is rather uncomfortable." Harry said, and they all laughed.
After Harry was untied and everyone was seated comfortably, Jacob decided to make introductions.
"I know you've met Embry and Leah. This is Paul," Jake said
"Wonderful to meet you," Paul said, eyeing her up and down, before Embry quickly gave him a warning growl. Everyone looked at Embry suspiciously, but decided to ask him about it later.
"Quil,"
"Hi, Quil Atera the fifth," He said, with a cocky grin, and an outstretched hand. Hermione shook his hand with a small smile on her face.
"Jared," who simply gave them a shy smile and a small wave. "Sam," he gave them a curt nod. "Collin and Brady," both gave them small smiles. "And the one and only Seth."
"It's really great to meet you guys. They don't normally let me around the new people, they're worried I'll scared them off." He said, making everyone laugh.
"It's nice to meet everyone,"Hermione said, and Harry nodded his agreement.
"Hermione," Jacob said. "Meet the werewolf pack of La Push."
