Chapter Seven – Changes
Brady POV
I phased back and pulled on my shorts. I couldn't wait till I got home, I needed something to eat! I dug in my pockets and extruded five dollars. Usually, we didn't carry money around because we might explode or something and tear it to shreds, so I was really lucky. I entered the store and walked to the chip isle. I picked out two bags of Lays and went to go pay. I dropped the money on the register and got the change. I was just about to walk out when I saw her.
She was perfect. She had short blond hair and blue eyes speckled with gray. Her golden hair was just below her ears. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. I wanted to spend every second of my life with her, hold her in my arms and never let go. I approached her to sweep her into my arms. Wait, Brady! Slow down! The last thing you want to do is scare her off. I walked at a slower pace.
"Hi. I'm Brady Richards. What's your name?" I asked her. She looked at me and smiled shyly. How gorgeous. Thankfully she looked fifteen or sixteen.
"I'm Alyssa Morris." She answered. I talked to her a little bit. The whole time I was saying in my head 'Don't mess this up! Don't mess this up!'
"So… can I have your phone number?" I asked her, hoping to God she wouldn't say no. She nodded and pulled out her cell. We exchanged numbers quickly. I never wanted to leave her side. But unfortunately, she had to go.
"I'm sorry. I have to go Brady. I'll call you later." She said rocking on her feet. I melted when she looked me right in the eyes. I sighed and nodded.
"Okay. I can hardly wait." I told her. She giggled and left. Slowly I made my way to Sam and Emily's. I drifted in and sat on a chair in the kitchen and rested my chin on my hands, thinking of only Alyssa. I realized it physically hurt to be away from her. My chest ached. Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by Paul. Did he notice when everyone imprinted? Since when was Paul so observant? Last I checked he only paid attention to Rachel!
"HOLY SHIT!" He suddenly screamed. Everyone looked at him with a wary expression on their faces; it was then that I realized the whole Pack was there with their imprints. Everyone looked at him with wary eyes.
"What happened now, Paul?" Angie asked crossing her arms. She was sitting on the couch, Embry with Cassie on his lap next to her and Collin on the other sides. Paul sighed.
"No one can give me a break. Jeez." He mumbled. "Look at Brady!" He exclaimed and everyone turned to face me.
Angie POV
I was leaning my head against Collin's shoulder and listening to his calming heartbeat when Paul screamed at the top of his lungs "HOLY SHIT!" Everyone glared at him.
"What happened now, Paul?" I asked annoyed. He sighed.
No one can give me a break. Jeez. Look at Brady!" Paul exclaimed. Everyone looked at Brady and I gasped. He looked dazed, as though everything in his life had changed. Everyone else's mouths fell open.
"Damn! That's eight out of seventeen! Sam, Jared, me, Paul, Jake, Embry, Collin, and now Brady! Let's see, that leaves Leah, Seth, Jill, Max, Rickie, Jesse, Alex, Louis, and Amanda." Quil said. (Okay, I realized that there would be seven new wolves instead of six, so I added Amanda to the Pack!)
"Who? How old? Please tell me the age wasn't two, or twelve. Those ages have caused complications." Sam asked wincing a bit at the end. I blinked. What did he mean my age caused complications? I glared at him and Collin chuckled beside me.
"Her name's Alyssa…. She's the most beautiful, intelligent fifteen year old on the planet." Brady answered in a dreamy voice.
"Sam, what do you mean my age caused complications?" I asked him frostily. He looked at me surprised.
"Oh, I um, mean that, your age is just- Umm. Oh, I – I'm sorry I guess." Sam answered turning red. I kept my glare up, and after a few minutes I sighed and rested my head on Embry's shoulder again. Sam sighed too and sat down.
"So, we'll hold the bonfire next Friday? Someone will have to check in on the weather next week." Sam said absentmindedly. Emily came in just then.
"Hey, Angie, we need our help with something! Could you come in the kitchen for a minute?" She asked smiling. I nodded and started to stand up. Collin pulled me up before I could do anything and carried me to the kitchen.
"You know Collin, you really don't need to carry me everywhere, that's what the crutches are for!" I told him sarcastically. He grinned.
"Of course I don't little girl." He chuckled.
"Are you ever going to stop calling me that?" I huffed.
"Nope!" He answered popping the p. He laughed harder and came back into the living room. Rolling my eyes, I went into the kitchen.
"What do you need help with Em?" I asked her looking around. It looked like everything was made up. She started to mouth words.
"Get a plate. If you don't it will be gone in a matter of minutes and you won't get anything! Cassie and Kim already have!" I held back my laughter and got a plate together, I noticed I was unusually hungry. Hmm, that's weird. Usually I have hardly anything to eat. Actually, Collin said he was getting worried that I wasn't eating enough yesterday. I had thrown one of my mother's vases at his head, luckily he caught it. If he hadn't of my mom would have probably killed me, which would result in Collin killing her. My mom, Embry, and Collin had really been getting on my nerves the past few days. They were over-bearingly protective and it really annoyed me. My mom would say I had to stick by Collin or Embry's side the whole day, and then they wouldn't let me walk by myself, they had to carry me, God, the only place I could be alone was in the bathroom, and, yeah, I know this is disturbing, they probably listened. I finished and Emily raised her eyebrows and Kim and Cassie gawked at my plate. I blushed and shuffled my feet uncomfortably. Emily stuck her head out the door.
"The food's ready!" She called and quickly ducked back in. Just in time too. There was a stampeded as all the wolves gulped down the food in just a few minutes. I loved my family.
"So Cassie, how did you and Embry meet?" I asked her. She smiled and got a dreamy look on her face, as she always did when she was talking about Embry.
"Well, I had been taking a walk in the woods and had gotten lost. He was on patrol that day. He offered to help me find my way back. Then he really looked at me. If I had needed it, he probably would have offered to steel a bus. It was the best day of my life" She giggled. I sighed. In like three years when I was dating Collin, I would probably look back on the first time we met and say "Holy shit, I wonder if Embry broke his nose?' How romantic. I voiced this and they all laughed. Cassie reached out to hold my hand and frowned.
"Oh, no! Angie, I think you're beginning to get sick! You're burning up! Maybe you should go home soon." Cassie said. I frowned. Collin was here in a flash.
"Angie? Do you feel sick? How warm is she? Are you going to throw up?" He asked in a rush. I let out an exasperated sigh.
"I feel absolutely FINE Collin. Okay? Don't get worried, really, I'm alright." I said shooting a glare at Cassie. She looked apologetically at me.
"I don't know Ang, maybe you should get home early…." He trailed off when he saw the glare I was giving him.
"Say one more word and I'll bight your head off." I warned him. He tried to cover his laughter and I tried to ignore him. I started to go into the living room with everyone else, but two hot hands went under my armpits and lifted me up.
"HEY! Come on Collin, I can walk into the living room. It's three feet!" I complained, he just snorted.
"Come on, you know you like it." He said.
"Know I don't." I muttered. He laughed loudly. Rickie, Amanda, and Jill were watching us with interested eyes. I noticed that all the younger wolves were more apart of the group I let Collin go to his friends and wobbled over to join the others. Jesse, Alex, Max, and Louis were more by the others, where as Jill, Amanda, and Rickie were off in a whole other corner. I lowered myself to the floor to sit by Jill and Rickie.
"Hi! You're Jill, Amanda, and Rickie, right?" I asked them though I knew the answer was yes. They nodded.
"Yeah. Angie, it's nice to talk to you. I feel like I know you very well already…." She trailed off with a small smile on her face. I remembered Collin telling me about the Pack mind. I was a little bothered by it, but not by much.
"Hey Angie, I heard you threw a vase at Collin's head. I congratulate you; no other imprint has done that before. Actually, I'm honored to be in your presence." Rickie said. I looked at him, he didn't sound like he was joking at all. I looked at Jill and she just shrugged.
"Look, Collin is probably gonna get really apprehensive since he can't see me, so I'm, a, I'm just going to go over there…" I stood up to leave but Rickie grabbed my hand.
"Come back soon, Eigna. You are very respectable." He told me. Okay, I swear, he was not joking. And Eigna? Did he really just call me Eigna? Where the hell did he get that from?
"O-kay?" I was going to ask where he got Eigna from, but I really wanted to get away from this creep. I glanced at Amanda and she was looking at him in admiration. What in the? I shook my head and turned around. Rickie spoke up yet again.
"I have decided you will be my friend, Gosling. Choose the right fork, not the left." He told me. I nodded, wondering what the right fork was. Also, I thought he was calling me Eigna, now I was Gosling?
"Alright, I will." I scrambled out of there as fast as I could. I walked to where Collin was and sat in his lap. I noticed everyone was glancing at me and trying not to laugh. I glared at them all.
"Don't. Say. Anything." I said through my teeth. They all exploded into laughter. Brady and Quil actually fell off their chairs. "How was I supposed to know?" I mumbled. I glanced at the corner and noticed Jill had left to sit with Alex, Jesse, Max, and Louis. Rickie and Amanda were no where in sight.
"Where'd they go?" I asked. Collin tightened his hold on me.
"They left. Probably to make out." Paul told me. Embry reached out and smacked on the back his head. My eyes widened.
"What the HELL Paul?" Collin growled. "She doesn't need to know that! You could have said they were walking home!" Collin glared at him strongly.
"They're together?" I asked, shocked. Amanda was very pretty; she had brown hair with an edgy cut and wide brown eyes. She could date anyone, why Rickie, of all people? My mouth was hanging open and I shut it quickly. Everyone nodded.
"I have no idea what she see's in that creep. He's thirteen, but he's a creep." Quil said. He was full out grinning. "Sometimes, Amanda gets really mad because he thinks Leah is a-a goddess of love." He was clutching his sides from laughter and rolling on the floor. Leah kicked him hard in the back. "OW!" He yelled, sitting up and rubbing his back. I giggled and shot Leah an 'I owe you' look. She shot me an 'I know you owe me' look. I knew from Embry and Collin's descriptions that they weren't fond of Leah, but she didn't seem all that bad to me.
"Hey guys, we're gonna head out. Bye." Jill said, already heading out the door. Max, Louis, Jesse, and Alex left with her. I snuggled into Collin's chest listening to my favorite song, his heartbeat. Suddenly, a wave of anger passed through me. Collin was sooo aggravating sometimes. He would baby me so much! I started to shake. I didn't get why though! I could stand on my own two feet! (No pun intended.) Wait! Why was I so angry? I just got mad at Collin for no reason! I stopped shaking. Collin pulled me into a sitting position.
"Angie? Are you okay? You just started to shake!" Collin asked me with a worried look on his face. I nodded.
"Yeah… I'm fine. I just got really angry for like nor reason at all and I started to shake! It was really weird." I said shaking my head. All of the wolves froze. Collin looked like his whole family just got killed. I looked at him worriedly.
" Collin? Quil? Anyone?" I asked. No one had spoken for a while. "Okay, am I missing something here?" I said. Nothing. "Alright, I'm starting to get really aggravated here! Can anyone explain why everyone's freaking out?" I asked. Still nothing. I let out an annoyed sigh. I was getting really, really mad at them. I started to shake with anger again. They all snapped out of it.
"QUICK! Get her outside!" Sam ordered. Collin scooped me up and ran out the door. Why didn't they just tell me what the hell was happening!?Collin set me on the grass and backed up a couple of feet. Why would he do that? I tried a new approach. I stopped shaking and concentrated on things that made me sad. A single tear rolled down my cheek.
"Collin? Collin please tell me what's happening!" I begged as more tears fell. His hands started to shake. "Please." I whimpered. He closed his eyes.
"Angie. We think you're turning into a wolf." Quil whispered. My mouth fell open.
(I thought about ending it here, but as my Geometry teacher would say, it would be unfantabulous! Yeah, he actually says that!)
I blinked. "Huh?" I asked. But suddenly, I got really mad. Why did my damn mom have to get pregnant with me with a Quileute? Because if she hadn't this wouldn't be happening right now! I started to shake violently. There was a splitting pain in my ribs, in my legs, in my arms, in everywhere. I would take Lillian throwing me against that tree a million times and be happy… Suddenly there was a tearing sound and I exploded. There was really no other way to put it.
I could hear everything. I heard the crackles of the ground as the other wolves were walking… I heard the sobs of…. Who was that? Why was he crying? I opened my eyes. I could see everything too. There faces were sharp and defined. Collin was crying. Why? He had his head in his hands. I let out a whine, his head snapped up. And I looked right into his eyes.
Collin POV
I saw her crouched on the ground, shaking and screaming. And I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even hold her hand or tell her it was alright. I did the only thing I could do at the time. I dropped to my knees and sobbed. I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was probably Sam. Suddenly, Angie exploded…. Into a giant white wolf. I couldn't look at her right now…. I felt like collapsing. I remembered my own first time phasing well. To know that she had gone through the same amount of pain….. Suddenly I heard a whine. I knew it was her whine, and it wasn't filled with pain, just worry. I snapped my head up to look into her eyes.
