A/N Hey all you readers! Sorry it's been a few days since my last update, I've been busy packing for a trip. Well, the next chapter is here now, so enjoy!

Chapter Seven- Trouble
Briana's POV
"Jacob?" I asked, looking the huge wolf right in the eyes.
The wolf-that-could-be-Jacob grinned, showing all its teeth and poking its tongue out of the side of its mouth. Its body shook for a second, like it was holding in laughter.
'What's so funny?' I thought.
The wolf suddenly looked towards the edge of the forest, where a group of men were now gathered. With a gasp, I realized it was Sam, Embry, Quil, Paul, Seth, and Jared.
Whoa. I did not see that coming.
Of course you didn't! You're useless; how could I expect anything less?
Suddenly, in the back of my head, there was the image of someone sticking their tongue out at me. Hmph. Feisty conscience.
"Briana," Sam said, bringing me back to reality. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good. As you can see, there are some things we need to explain to you."
If Sam wasn't so nice, I probably would have said something rude and sarcastic like, "No! Really?" But, of course, he was nice, so I just nodded my head.
Sam turned to wolf I was still petting and said, "Jacob, why don't you go phase and come back. You have the most to tell her."
Ha! It was Jacob! But what did he have to tell me?
The wolf nodded and ran into the trees. My hand dropped to my side, and I suddenly blushed. I must have looked like an idiot, just standing there petting Jacob like a dog and its owner.
It didn't look like he minded…
Man, I hope he didn't! He was such a cute werewolf!
Wait…
Did I just think that? Oh great…
Jacob came back a minute later wearing just a pair of cut-off jeans. He came over and stood next to me, grinning, probably thinking about me petting him.
Why can't the ground just swallow me up?
"Alright Briana," Sam said, getting my attention again. "You probably have some questions, but let us tell our story first." He waited, so I just nodded, wanting to get this over with as fast as possible.
"She should probably sit down," Seth suggested. "She looks tired."
"No, I'm fine!" I said. I was about to say more, but was interrupted by a huge yawn. The boys laughed, causing me to blush. "Huh. Guess I didn't realize how tired I was," I said, trying to recover.
I yawned again and felt someone pushing me down so I would sit. The boys all gathered around me, forming a loose circle. I spent the next half hour learning about vampires, werewolves, and this strange thing called imprinting. It was something werewolves did when they found their other half, or soul mate. Apparently, Jacob had imprinted on me.
When Jacob told me that, he looked a little nervous; like he thought I wasn't going to want to be with him or something. Hello! We were going on a date later!
I think my reaction surprised him, starting with when I said, "Really? So, when you imprint, you won't want to be with anyone else?"
"Yeah, sort of. I guess you could put it like that."
"Well, that's a relief."
"Really? How?"
"Easy; no more broken hearts!"
The boys had all laughed when I had said that. It was so easy to talk with them, especially Jacob. Moving to La Push was the best decision I could have ever made.
Or, that's what I thought. Little did I know exactly how much danger I was in.
No attorneys to plead my case
No opiates to send me into outer space
And my fingers are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold but that ain't
Gonna help me now
I'm trouble, yeah trouble now
I'm trouble y'all, I disturb my own town
I'm trouble, yeah trouble now
I'm trouble y'all, I got trouble in my town
What's going to happen next? Why did I underline the word, much? Why is this chapter so short? Why am I asking these questions? You will have to wait to find out…
Muwahahahaha!
(Please review! They are much appreciated! *wink, wink*)
