Hey Everyone!

Here's Paul's POV.

Enjoy!

P.S. I only own Faith. And all the other characters that are not from Twilight.

Paul POV

Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I looked at Faith, noticing something was wrong. Did she notice Jared? Was she scared of me? Did she feel uncomfortable? The suspense was killing me. I couldn't take it, so I had to ask Faith something. Anything.

"Are you feeling okay?"

For a while, she was in deep thought, and completely silent. It drove me insane. I wanted to know what was going on in her mind. Was she having second thoughts about me? Did she regret being friends with me? God! This silence is making me insane!

"Faith? Hello? Are you okay?"

She seemed to snap out of her moment, "I'm completely fine, Paulie."

I gasped silently. She called me Paulie. A nickname.

"Yea, Paulie, she's a-okay!"

Jared.

I bolted out of my seat and tried to choke Jared. It was unsuccessful, but I still tried. We were like this for a little while, until I spoke up.

"You gonna call me Paulie again?"

"Sir no, sir!" Jared said with a muffled tone.

Just then, Ms. Mure walked in, "Come on guys! Don't break the galaxy molds!"

We just laughed, "Sorry Ms. Mure."

Faith took a look at the teacher, and said, "I'll be right back."

I was confused, but nodded.

As she got up to leave, I saw my pencil on the floor. I bent down to pick it up, and as I was rising back to my sitting position, I caught sight of Faith's legs. Even though they were under her pants, they were tight enough to see every muscle in those perfectly proportioned legs. And her ass was the perfect shape. Round, but not too big. My type. I completely ignored what Faith was saying to the teacher because I was trying to tame Big Paul. And these high stools aren't helping with covering him up. Faith came back to sit down, and I ignored the fact that she was sitting there. Finally, he was down. But then the bell rang, and I literally spent the whole class trying to-

"Are you still going to drive me home?"

Why would she ask me that? I told her I would. "What makes you think that?"

She just shrugged, "I just wanted to confirm it."

I let it go and grabbed my books. This won't damper my mood, "Then let's go."

We were just out of the back door, when Faith said that she had to give that stupid slip to Ms. Tuttle.

"Meet you at the front doors?"

I hope she accepted my challenge, "It's a race then."

I smiled, "You're on."

I took off, moving at faster speed than a normal human should, I shoved my keys in the ignition, and made my way around the building, I knew she wouldn't be there, but I just wanted to see how quick I could make it to the front doors. As soon as I parked, she came blasting through the doors.

Wow, she's fast.

But she apparently thought I was fast. I asked her where she lived. Even though I know where she did live, I didn't want her to know that.

But what I wanted to know was more about her.

"So ask me anything," she told me.

"Favourite colour?"

"Purple," figures. She's wearing purple.

"All time favourite movie?"

"Underworld: Rise of the Lycans."

She likes the werewolf movie with the vampires too.

So she's into mythical creatures.

And I had to laugh.

"What?! It's an amazing movie!"

I was still laughing, "The movie… just… brings up… inside jokes…"

"O…kay?"

I tried to calm down "Favourite food?"

"Can't say. I love everything I bake and cook."

"You can cook?!"

"And bake,"

Oh, if I could love her more, I just did.

I should have drove slower. We were already at her door. I looked at the old house. It seemed old from the outside, but I really wanted to see the inside. Actually, I just wanted to spend more time with Faith.

"I'll see you later, Faith."

She snorted, "Are you busy right now?"

Where was she going with this, "Um, no-"

"Then you're coming over. No buts."

That put a stupid smile on my face.

She was at her door, trying to find her keys. I came up behind her, but she didn't notice me. When she did, she jumped.

"Sorry," I said.

She smiled a smile that could shatter my heart, "No worries."

When she opened the door, I was shocked that she lived in this mansion. The stairs were huge, and in the middle of the house. She walked into the biggest kitchen I've seen. And there was a tower of muffins in the middle of the island.

She laughed, "Take as many as you want. I bake new ones everyday."

She's letting me take some!, "Really?!"

She nodded, "You can even take some home."

This woman was my perfect woman, "Thanks Fae!"

My eyes went wide. Oh fuck, I never made sure that was okay.

"It's alright if I call you Fae, right?"

Please say it's alright.

I took another piece of this muffin. Damn was it good.

"You can call me Fae if I can call you Paulie," She stuck her tongue out.

I laughed, and she laughed at me. But I didn't mind.

"Come on Paulie, let's go to the basement."

She grabbed my hand twice in one day, which made me feel alive. As we were passing the window, I looked out to see the biggest pool I've ever seen. It was as big as the ones at a community centre. She laughed, "Don't worry Paul. You'll be able to swim in it."

She pulled me down into the basement, and it was my sanctuary. There was a pool table at the end of the room with several pool cues. At the other side of the big room was a poker table that could fit the whole pack. The darts were on the side of the wall. And then there was the bar. Every liquor was probably on that shelf. Faith's family crescent was inscribed on the mirror, with the word "Rossdale" written above.

It was my personal heaven. Besides Faith.

"Can I move in?"

She laughed, "No. But you can come over whenever. And you could bring the guys too if you want."

"You wouldn't mind them?"

She shook her head, "No. I wouldn't at all."

I can't believe I imprinted on the most perfect woman.

The rest of the day we were playing her Xbox 360, and talked about things. Her brown hair with red streaks was natural, and she got it from her dad. She had three best friends, Judy, Alicia, and her closest friend out of all of them was the only boy, Glenn. I was glad that Glenn was out of her life. He seems like the player type. Her dad was one of the best lawyers of Toronto, and she was proud of her dad for doing it all on his own. Her mom came home and stuck her head into the room to check on us. Faith was completely oblivious to her mom being there. She looked exactly like her mom. They both had the same gray eyes, and both of them have the same face shape. The only thing to tell them apart was their hair. Her mom had a honey brown colour. She left for the upstairs room.

When her dad came in, I froze.

"Faith, you home?"

"Paulie, what's the matter?"

I whispered, "Your dad is here. He's gonna shoot me!"

She laughed, thinking it was funny.

"Oh, so you want me to die?!"

"No! My dad just doesn't care. Trust me."

But I'm no good with dads, Fae. None what so ever.

"Faith? Where you at?"

"In the T.V. room with Paul."

WHAT?! Why would she said that?!

"Oh? Who's this Paul?"

He walked in and my heart stopped.

He smiled, "Ah. This is Paul."

I swallowed, "Hello Mr. Rossdale,"

He laughed, "Call me Bruce, son. Trust me, you don't need to be formal with me."

I smiled. He does seem like a different dad than I've encountered.

"Hey Dad? Paul is a true Quileute."

His eyes lit up, "Really?"

I nodded. I remembered that he's Indian too.

Her dad chuckled, "You picked a good one Faith."

Her dad approved of me. No one's dad approved of me. Not even my own dad.

He grabbed his keys again, "I'm going to the liquor store. Do you want anything Faith?"

Faith smiled, "Tequila!"

Yea right, like her dad would let her get drunk.

"Your dad isn't really going to get you-"

"Do you want the grenadine syrup too so you could make Tequila Sunrises for you and Paul?"

Holy shit, he would let his daughter get drunk with a dude.

This guy rules.

She cocked an eyebrow, proving me wrong, "Yes please!"

After the door shut, I said, "Your dad is the coolest guy I know. Better than Sam."

She smiled, "So when can I meet this Sam?"

"How bout Saturday? We have breakfast there all the time. I'll pick you up."

"I'll bake the muffins."

I'm sure you would.

I heard a wolf howl. I looked at the time. It was 11.

Shit! The meeting!

I got up to leave, "I've got to go Faith. It's pretty late."

She got up too and walked me too the door. "See you at school, I guess."

I took a look at her. She moved her lips to the side. It looked like she was starting to cry.

She was going to miss me.

It melted my heart away.

I walked up to her and hugged her frame. The feel of her little body against mine felt so right. She seemed a lot softer than I imagined, and she started to have this glow to her. But the glow made her seem marvelous. I never wanted to let go of her.

Unfortunately, I did let go of her.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Fae."

Her smile would keep me sane, "Bye Paulie."

I silently chuckled. I actually liked my nickname.

I walked out of her door and started walking towards Sam's house. I was too happy to phase. Faith just brightened my outlook on life. She gave me the hope I never had. Hope that I wouldn't turn out like my father. He shouldn't be even called a father. More like a dictator. No, I will never become like the man I was supposed to call Dad.

Before I knew it, I was at Sam's house about to open the front door. I took a deep breath, bracing myself for the bashing.

I turned the handle and pushed the door open.

Everyone's faces were in a smug smile. Jacob, Embry, Quil, Leah, Collin, Brady, and Sam were pissed. Seth was probably patrolling.

"In before dawn?!" "Oh, I'm never late!" "Fucking liar." "I'll be early, yea okay." "Look who decided to show up."

The only one who didn't criticize me was Jared. So he didn't tell them. Good, I wanted to tell them so I could tell them to shut the fuck up.

Sam was angry, "Paul, you can't be late anymore."

I shrugged, "Sorry Sam."

He huffed, "So why are you even late?"

I smiled to Jared, and he just shook his head.

"Paul?"

I looked at Sam, "I was hanging with my imprint."

Everyone's faces went wide, and I just laughed.

"Paul, don't lie to us."

I just shook my head at Sam, "I'm not lying. Trust me-"

I couldn't say anything more since Seth ran into the home with a horrified expression on his face.

Before I could say anything, he spat out, "Newborn leech. It's around the new girl's house."

Oh God. Faith.

She was going to be taken by newborn vampire, and Seth is here not protecting her!

I went up to him and picked him up by the throat. He was gasping for air. Like I cared.

"You idiot! You left Faith out there, unprotected with a newborn vamp?! Are you crazy?! You stupid fucker!"

"Paul! Let go of my brother! He can't breathe!"

Leah was actually pleading?

I was shaking too hard to even register what I was doing. I was killing Seth.

I let go of his neck and he fell to the floor, breathing in deep breaths.

"If my imprint dies cause of your stupidity, I will kill you."

He looked at me with shocked eyes.

He choked out, "I- didn't… know-"

"Save it, Seth."

I ran out of the home and didn't even bother to take off my clothes. I phased right there and then and ran up the hill towards Faith's home. I prayed that Faith was tucked safely into her bed. I reached her home and smelled the vampire. Holding my heart, I climbed the tree and stuck my head into the window.

My heart dropped. She wasn't there.

But I smelt her on the tree. She climbed out?

Paul! I've found her!

I saw Faith through Sam's eyes. He was far away from her, but she was safe. Or looked safe. I caught hold of her scent and booked it towards Sam. As soon as Faith came into view, I was in utter shock. She was knocked out cold, with blood off to her side face.

Paul, relax. She's almost conscious.

I nodded, Thanks Sam.

Don't think you're off the hook about almost killing Seth.

I mentally sighed, I know, Sam.

After that, he left me with my Faith. She was starting to get out of her mini coma. She shot up when I accidentally brushed up against her, and she was going to fall if I didn't catch her. And I did catch her, but she freaked out and crawled backwards. I tried to approach her, making sure I didn't move fast. She didn't squirm, so I thought licking her would make me seem like I'm a good wolf. Which I am.

She smiled and shouted, "Hey!", while wiping my saliva away.

But then she gripped her head. I whined.

She just said, "My head hurts."

Her eyes went wide, "Do you even understand me?"

I nodded.

"Wow. Smart wolf."

I laughed.

"I can make you and Paul laugh. That's a first."

Did she just mention my name?

"Oh. Paul is this guy I met today. He's the type of person that has a quick temper. But he's got these barriers set all around him, trying to block anyone who wants in. But he's truly a sweetheart. A sweetheart with a sweet tooth. He really loves my double chocolate chip muffins. Now I only bake them for him."

I smiled, remembering her delicious muffins. But me? A sweetheart? Never in my life was I called 'sweet'.

She realized that I was paying attention, "You're actually listening?"

I nodded, and she continued.

"Well, I think that I want to be the girl Paulie lets into his fortress. It may seem crazy, but I do believe in love at first sight. Once my dad saw my mom at the flea market, it was love. Now they're happily married with me. I'm not saying I want to go all psycho on Paul, but, it would be nice to know I've got someone. I wish that we could be together."

Faith loves me. Without a doubt.

I licked her face again, and she accepted it and started to scratch behind my ears.

All of a sudden, she sighed, "I also wish I could go home. But that's going to take me a while."

No it won't. I got up and nudged her to get up along with me.

She asked, "Can you take me home?"

I nodded.

"Do you even know where it is?"

I motioned her to my back.

"Forget it, buddy."

I whined, and won.

"Fine, you win."

She climbed onto my back and grabbed my fur.

And I took off with my woman on my back.

I didn't know if she liked the speed at first, but when I heard her heart beating fast and she had her mouth turned up into a smile, I started going faster. For fun, I started to serpentine. Her laugh was like bells chiming, and I couldn't get enough of it. Her laugh was so contagious that I had to start laughing too. We finally arrived at her home, and she was still laughing as she got off.

I leveled with her head.

She leaned in and kissed my nose, "Thank you for listening."

She started to make her way up the tree, and I didn't want her to fall, so I helped her up. She grabbed onto the railing and swung her legs over. I was leaving when I heard her calling me again. I turned to face her pleading face.

"Pick me up tomorrow? Same time? We'll go to our spot."

She wants to spend time with the wolf me?

I nodded.

She walked back into her bedroom, and I heard her breathing even out.

After she fell asleep, I ran back to Sam's. I heard everyone's voices on the front lawn, mad over the fact that they didn't catch the leech. I walked near the lawn, and Sam spotted me. He ran back into the house, and he came back with shorts. I grabbed them in my mouth and phased behind a tree. When I was walking back, they were talking about something entirely different.

"So they're going to join the pack?"

I was curious, "Who?"

Sam looked at me, "Four shape-shifters are migrating to La Push. Their own pack died going after the same vampire we're going after. They know how to deal with this type of vampire, and her gift."

Jacob was shocked, "She's got a gift?"

Sam nodded, "From what they told me just now, she does. But I don't know the details."

Embry snorted, "If they knew, wouldn't the whole pack survived?"

Sam stared him in the eye, "The only reason they found out about her gift was because their pack members had to die," that shut Embry up, and Sam continued, "they are going to be a part of this pack, so we're going to treat them with the respect that we treat each other and we're going to accept them like our own brothers. Got it?"

Sam's tone scared us silly, so we all nodded.

Jared's stomach rumbled, "I'm so hungry."

Jacob laughed, "Maybe you can ask Faith to whip up some muffins, eh Paulie?"

My eyes went wide in shock.

Crap. I'm going to get so many 'you're whipped' comments.

But you know what? That's okay. Cause I've got my girl, and she gives me hope in us.

I'd take as many slave jokes as possible if it means I get to have Faith all to myself.

Review?
