Twin68: Mope, Cullens are not around. They have moved away. They may make an occasional appearance though. Yeah, I looked that up. Usually it's they work in a garage so I thought they needed some other profession. :D

Enjoy!


Chapter 7

Kaira had taken the liberty of grabbing a sheet of plain paper and a pencil and sat doodling. When she was alone she started thinking about things she didn't like and decided to keep her mind busy.

"Shit!" Colin cursed as once again he felt the immense urge to grab her and kiss her senseless. The way she was lying on the floor made him want to take her there and then. Of course he knew of the consequences and also that Paul trusted him not to fool with his girl or he would tear him limb to limb much like a vamp.

Kaira stiffened when she heard someone curse. She straightened herself carefully.

She saw one of the same guys who had attacked her before.

"Uhh..Hi?" Colin said unsurely but Kaira just backed up and decided to stay away from him.

"Look, I'm sorry about the other day. It won't happen again?" It came out as a question because even Colin didn't know if it wouldn't. It was hard to control his urge but he wondered why he felt that way. She wasn't his imprint and he had hadn't felt like that towards any of the other imprints. They were more like family, sisters. But he knew he wasn't alone and some of his other pack mates had felt the same way. Her smell was just so enticing. It made him want to do unmentionable things to her, with her. He closed his eyes and cursed some more under his breath.

It was going to be a long wait until Paul turned up.


Paul was the one to attack and finish off the vampire. He was anxious to get back to Kaira. He knew instinctively that she wasn't comfortable but he also knew that Colin wouldn't do anything stupid.

As soon as they had burned the body, he hurried to get back.

Colin sighed in relief when Paul walked through the door. Paul stiffened though when he couldn't see Kaira even though he knew she was in the same room.

He frowned but Colin motioned with his head towards Paul's desk. He walked around it to see her hiding under it and making little birds with paper.

"Kaira.."

Kaira stopped as she heard the husky voice she had begun to love and feel comfortable with calling her name. She looked up to meet her favourite pair of eyes and loved the easy smile Paul gave her and held out his hand.

But wait, he had left her in the same room as that silly boy.

Kaira huffed as she got out from under the desk without Paul's help.

Paul frowned but understood why she had done that when she gave him a stinky eye and then looked towards Colin and put her hands on her hips in a very," what are you still doing here" kind of way, silently sending her message across making Colin squirm and make a hasty exit.

"I take it you weren't too pleased with the company?" Paul asked innocently only to be met with a tilt of the head and raised eyebrows. Paul chuckled when he thought about how well she could express herself even without words.

Kaira wasn't amused though and made to leave.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Paul watched as instead of answering she just walked towards the door swinging her hips. He was mesmerized by the way her body moved fluidly and her hair fell on her bum, doing a little dance with every step she took.

"Kaira.." Paul whispered as he reached her and swung her around to hug her.

Kaira hesitated for just a moment before hugging him back but then she stiffened.

"What's wrong?" Paul asked when he noticed how she had gone rigid.

She removed herself from his embrace before moving her hands over his arms and face and turning him around as if checking him for something.

"What's wrong?" He asked baffled by her behaviour.

Kaira looked him dead in the eye and whispered ,"vampire."

Paul felt the blood drain from his face. She knew he had confronted a vampire but how?

His question was answered when she wrinkled her nose.

"You can smell them?"

She nodded.

"Have you ever faced one?" Paul could feel himself shaking as he imagined her fragile form in front of one.

Kaira hesitated and didn't meet his eyes any more. She was ashamed of what she was. She wasn't a normal girl. She closed her eyes as memories flooded her mind. Cold, stone like hands on her waist, grabbing her, holding her against her will; ice like lips on her neck, caressing her even as she recoiled from the touch but they never cared and continued to smell her and touch her before baring their teeth and...

"Kaira...Kaira!" Paul panicked as he watched her get lost in her thoughts before she started whimpering and shaking before she collapsed in his arms.

Paul panicked as he picked her up and held her close. He could hear her heartbeat. It had calmed a little now that she was out cold. But what had caused this? She had faced a vampire. He knew that for sure now. It was those memories that caused such a reaction.

Paul cursed as he heard the murmurs get louder when he carried her out to his car and decided to leave her in Emily's care while he bathed to get rid of the smell of vampire.

He was deep in thought all the way to Sam's house. Why did she know about them and vampires? And he decided he had to know what made her special. He had to talk to Sam about it. He had to know. He couldn't just let this pass. How could she smell a vampire?
