Chapter 6
Sometime around noon the next day, Jared called to inform us that Kim would be joining us for dinner. I know, Sam and Jared planned on letting Kim know about the wolves tonight, so I thought it was a good thing for me to be there, to talk to her about imprinting.
Kim was a little shy, which is to be expected. After we ate dinner, I ushered them into the living room. I sat next to Sam and Jared sat next to Kim. She looked at each of us confused.
"Kim, there is no reason to be scared. Jared just wants to tell you something about himself, and it would be easier if we helped explain it too" I told her. She nodded her head, but still looked a little apprehensive.
"Kim." Sam started. "Do you know the Quileute Legends?" He asked.
"You mean the one's about the spirit warrior, and how our ancestors are decedents of wolves?" She asked.
"Yes. Well they are true." Sam said.
"I don't understand." Kim said. She then looked to Jared to explain. He closed his eye's and took a deep breath. He turned to her.
"Kim, I'm a werewolf." He said.
She sat there for a min. then let out a shaky laugh, "Your kidding right? Your trying to tell me that you are a werewolf?"
Jared nodded his head. Kim looked at Sam and then me. I gave her a small smile and nodded my head too. She leaned back against the couch in silence. It lasted for a few minutes, then she sat up.
"So, werewolves, huh?" Kim said. Jared looked shocked, I snickered, and Sam, well, he's Sam.
"Your not scared?" Jared asked her. She looked at him for a second then shook her head no.
"Kim, you have to understand. Jared would never intentionally hurt you, like I would never intentionally hurt Emily. But as you can see, hanging with werewolves has it's downsides." Sam told her. The look on his face, it looked like someone had told him the world was ending. I wrapped my arms around Sam.
"Kim, what Sam is so poorly saying, is that werewolves phase when they get angry. Even the most even tempered one's have moments of weakness. If your too close, you can get hurt. Like me. But I don't blame, Sam. I don't even care, very much. But this is you we are talking about. You need to have everything laying in front of you. If you think Jared is worth the risk, then so be it. I for one, would never let Sam go. If someone told me that I could get rid of my scars, but I would lose Sam, then I would keep my scars." I told her.
"You don't have to decide right now, but I would like you to come to the bonfire tomorrow." Jared asked her.
She took his hands in hers, and looked him in the eye.
"Jared, I don't need time, I already made my choice." Kim said. Jared's face fell.
"Oh, OK, so do you want me to take you home then?" He asked.
"Jared, you silly wolf. I decided, I don't care. Like Emily said in so many words. Life is too short to worry about the what ifs. I want to enjoy the time we have." She told him.
We all smiled.
"Well, then Jared, I think you should tell her the rest. Take her for a walk." Sam told him.
Jared stood up and Kim followed him out the door. I turned to Sam and put my arms around his waist.
"I'm glad he has someone, now. I'm also happy for another girl. It gets kinda lonely here when you guys run patrol." I said. He put his chin on my head.
"I know. I'm sorry. After those stupid leeches leave, things will calm down." He told me.
"I hope so." I sighed.
We sat and watched a movie with each other. The Covenet. He looked at the clock and sighed.
"It's time for patrol. I'll go call Jared and see if Kim wants to come visit." He said. I nodded. He knew I worried about him out there, but I really couldn't do anything about it. I never voiced my worries, because then he would feel more guilty.
I sat there on the porch and waited for Kim. About 5 minutes later, Jared led Kim to the end of the driveway, where he gave her a quick kiss and off he went. Kim came over to where I was and sat next to me and sat down.
"So, how you handing everything?" I asked her.
"Well, I admit, it's quite a shock. I mean, who would have figured, werewolves and vampires were real. And that I was Jared's soul-mate. I mean, I have had a crush on him since forever. Then all of a sudden he speaks to me. It's kinda weird." She told me.
"Yeah, I always said women have better intuition. We know who we belong with before the men do." We both laughed after I said that.
"You know it's good to have a girl here. It sucked to be outnumbered by me..." I was cut off by a howl.
We both looked up. I jumped up and grabbed her hand and dragged her into the house. I ran around the house and closed all the windows and locked the door. I then looked at her.
"They do that when he catches a vampire's scent. It's the signal for the rest of the pack. Since us mere humans heard it, I'm guessing it is pretty close and I don't like taking any chances." I told her.
She sat on the couch and was shaking. I sat next to her and put my arm around her.
"Kim, it's OK. They are very capable. Don't worry." I told her.
About 20 minutes later I heard banging on the front door. I guess we had fell asleep.
"Em, it's me, open up." Sam called. I jumped up and opened the door, jumping into his arms. He laughed and kissed my forehead. Jared followed him and another boy followed him. I scrunched up my forehead and looked at Sam.
"Em, this is Paul. Paul, Emily, my imprint." Sam said.
Paul turned around and stared at me for a min, before Sam growled at him. I placed my hand on Sam's chest to let him know it was OK.
"Oh, um..pleased to meet you I guess." Paul said. I nodded and headed for the kitchen, figuring that they were probably hungry. I made a couple dozen sandwiches and set the plate on the table. I seen that Jared had carried Kim back home so I kissed Sam and headed for bed myself. Today has been a very active day. I guess us girls are still outnumbered by men. This sucks.
I'm going to be switching to Sam's Pov in a couple chapter's. I never realized how boring Emily's life is. haha. I got nothing for her to do. I will switch back to her pov when something exciting comes up though. I'm swiching in chapter 9, so the next chapter's till them will be boring. I know Emily is a little OOC but I'm not good with sweet and innocent charactors, my attitude seems to seep through. lol. Anyway, please forgive me if this story isn't the best. It will be the longest besides Jared's though. Anyway review review review.
