Chapter 7 – You Got It, You Got It, Some Kind of Magic, Hypnotic, Hypnotic, You're Leaving Me Breathless

It has been two months since the blow up with my mother. We were hardly speaking with each other, and call me a bitch, but I liked it. She no longer questioned me every time I left the house or when I came back from somewhere.

And I have more news! I was officially dating Embry - I think.

Another thing that has changed was that my second cousin was coming to live with us. A huge fire had enveloped her house and claimed the lives of her whole family. In a way, she felt guilty for it, because she had been burning candles, and had fallen asleep.

Anyways, she was already supposed to be here. Why wasn't she here? Just as I thought that, the doorbell rang.

I opened it to find a girl, she looked about my age.

"Hi, I'm Megan." She looked really nervous. She had dark brown hair, down just past her shoulders. She had brown eyes and pale English skin. Something that really completed her look, though, was the smattering of freckles all over her face.

"Megan!" I heard from behind me. Ugh, my mother noticed. "Welcome to our home." She sounded like one of those damn Hallmark cards. "This is my husband, Drew, and my daughter, Taylor."

"Hello." Megan gave us a small smile.

"Taylor will show you to your room now." My dad said.

"Come on." I said to her. We didn't have to travel far to get to the guest bedroom, which was right next to mine.

"You are sharing my bathroom as well." I told her.

"Okay." She replied. "So tell me, how does this small town thing work?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"I mean that I have only ever lived in Seattle, which is not small at all."

"Oh, well. We walk to and from school, if that helps."

"Oh, how far is it?" She asked tentatively.

"Only four blocks, and we are about five or six blocks from the ocean in the other direction. We don't have a mall, but there is like a group of stores a few blocks away. That's the reason we still live here. My dad owns a hardware store."

"That's cool."

"Yeah." Then my phone rang. "Oh, it's Embry." She looked confused. "Hey." I said into the phone.

"Hey babe." I loved the sound of his voice. In fact, I think I just loved him.

"What's up?"

"Well, the groups getting together tonight to hear the elders tell the legends. You wanna come?"

"I don't know, my cousin just got here."

"Please Tay? Your cousin can come too if she wants." I walked back into her room.

"Megan, some of my friends are getting together tonight to hear the Quilulite legends. You wanna go?" I asked her.

"Sure," she chirped, excited.

"Alright, we are coming." I said back into the phone.

"Awesome, pick you up at six."

"Alright, I love you." That was the first time I had ever said it. I actually didn't mean to say it, well, it was true, but I didn't know if he felt the same way. I blushed.

"I love you too Taylor." I blushed even more and did an internal happy dance.

"Bye." I sighed.

"Bye." He laughed. I was in a state of complete and utter bliss as I hung up the phone. No! Why did I just hang up?! I still wanted to talk to him!

I heard a giggle from beside me. "Was he your boyfriend?" Megan asked.

"Yes," I sighed again and plopped down on her bed.

"I wish I had a boyfriend."

"You never know." I looked at her seriously. "You are in a completely new town." At this she looked down at her hands, sadly. "Oh, Megan, I didn't mean it like that!"

"I know." She said sadly.

"Well, I have to get ready, take a shower, you know?" She nodded. "You might want to, also. We leave at six." I started to walk out of her room, but I was stopped by her voice.

So quietly, "I don't even know if I want to go."

"Alright, that made up my mind, of course you are going! You have to! For me?" I pouted.

"For you." She gave me a sarcastic smile.

Six rolled around pretty quickly. Megan and I were hanging out in my room, as to avoid interrogation from my father. A car horn beeped outside, and we raced out there. Kim was in the passenger seat and Embry was driving.

I opened the passenger door and grinned. "I think you are in my seat, Kim."

"So, what if I am?"She giggled.

"Oooh, feisty," We laughed. I turned to Megan. "This is my best friend Kim, and my boyfriend Embry." I couldn't help but smile when I said boyfriend. Embry smiled too. "This is Megan, my cousin. I need my seat, Kim." I scolded.

"Nope!" She laughed. I sat on her lap. Megan got in the back of the car laughing.

"Drive, Embry!" He did and Kim freaked out.

"Stop the car!" Kim screeched. Embry complied, smirking. Kim climbed into the backseat with Megan. "Douche." She muttered under her breath. I leaned over and kissed Embry in response.

"Get a room!" Megan laughed.

"Really, guys. Ugh." Kim intoned.

We broke apart, smiling. "Let's go," I said softly. "I wanna hear these legends." Kim smiled widely. What was with her today?

I didn't take us long to get to Sam and Emily's. I loved being there; I loved being a part of their group. I walked in the door and into the living room, where I knew everyone would be.

I was right, yet again. There was no more couch room and so I just sat on Seth's lap. He hated when someone did that. "Get her off me!" he yelled. He didn't have to ask, because he was strong enough to push me off. I hit the floor with an "oohf". The whole room burst out laughing. Well, everyone but Seth. He had this dazed look in his eyes. And pretty soon, everyone was looking at him with worried expressions.

I followed his line of vision. He was looking right at Megan! Did he like her? Nah, this was probably his creepy side coming out. The weirdest part of the whole situation though, was Megan. She was staring straight back at him, A small smile playing on her cheeks, and a huge blush on her cheeks.

All of a sudden, Collin burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing about Collin?" Kim asked.

"Seth just imprinted." Imprinted? I looked around to see if anyone got it. Everyone was shooting him glares except me and Megan.

"What's imprinting?" I asked.

*****Oooh, cats out of the bag! Haha my beta said that! Thanks Alicecullen112. (aka lifesaver)
