A Jared/Kim Imprint Story
Chapter 7 Explanations
Review:
"Who's this Kim?"
"Jared."
"Well come here Jared."
Jared walked over and grabbed my hand and shook my grandma's hand with his other hand.
When she shook his hand, a smile showed up on her face. "Nice to meet you…protector."
Jared stared at her in shock "H-how d-do you k-know?" He was probably just as shocked as I was.
"Let's just say Joshua Uley's father was my imprinter."
"How come you didn't change your name?"
"Let's continue this inside. I have a pie in the oven and we don't want any neighbors to hear."
We followed her inside and I smelled the apple pie in the oven. Yum.
"I didn't change my name because my father had already picked out a husband for me. According to the time, I had to obey him or I would be shunned from the tribe. I had Kim's mother with him and after he died of a heart attack, I went to live with Levi. We never got married because it would be considered improper. About a month after he died, I found out I was pregnant. I had always loved Levi and I pretended I loved Kim's grandfather. I was 30 and no one thought that it was anyone else's child, since it had only been a month and I was still 'grieving.' Only Levi and I knew. Once Joshua was born, I took Joshua and we moved into Levi's house. He was one of the elders and from the outside, he was my closest friend. He had comforted me when my husband had died."
"Wow grandma, you were rebellious," I teased.
"But why did you give him the last name Uley if he wasn't 'Levi's' child?" Jared asked.
"Because he was living in the Uley house and he acted like a father to Joshua."
"So, you're Sam's grandmother?" Jared asked in disbelief.
"Yes, and I've been keeping and eye out for him and his mother after Joshua left. I haven't had contact with him in over 10 years."
The timer went off in the kitchen. "I'll get the pie. Kim, why don't you go get your things?"
She left the room and I headed out to my care with Jared behind me.
"I wonder how Sam's going to react to this."
"Why don't you let my grandma tell him. I'm sure she would have told him if she thought he should know."
"Ya, well, he might find out from me whether I want to tell him or not."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a wolf thing. I'll tell you inside."
"Ok." I grabbed my bag and turned toward the house. When we got back inside, my grandma called me into the kitchen.
"Kim, how often does your father beat you?"
"Pretty often. He got mad a few days ago and gave me the black eye. I think there's a bruise on my arm too. It hurts when I do certain things. But I'd say at least 3 times a week." Jared started to shake again. "Easy Jared, he's not going to be able to get me here."
"He could if he really wanted to. Kim take your bag up to your room and get your coat. I'm going to call Billy Black and see if I can get custody over you. You can come if you want Jared."
"I'm going."
I ran up the steps, threw my bag on the bed, grabbed my coat, and ran back downstairs.
"Are you sure you can do that grandma?"
"Do what? Get custody over you? Of course I can."
"Why can't I just stay here?"
"Your parents can come and get you if they want to. I would not have the right to stop them."
"Okay. Let's go."
We walked out to my car. Jared in the driver's seat, my grandma in the passenger's seat, and me in the back.

15 minutes later, we pulled up in front of a small faded house with bright window boxes.
Jared opened the front door and held it open for us. When we walked in, Sam, Old Quil, Harry Clearwater, and Billy Black we all sitting in the tiny living room.
"Mrs. Hitzel, why did you call for us all to be here?" Sam asked.
"I would like to get custody over my granddaughter."
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Her father gave her the black eye and many other injuries as well."
"Kim, how often does this happen?" Billy asked me.
"At least 3 times a week, sometimes more. And they're not always this bad either. Sometimes it's just a little cut." Jared started shaking again, and Sam looked meaningfully at him. I grabbed Jared's hand and he started to calm down. "It's alright, that's why we're here," I whispered to him.
Sam smiled at me, he probably knew that I knew.
