Paul had invited me over to the bonfire they were having so I could learn more about the legends of the wolves. So, I got dress in a black long sleeve shirt, jeans and a white vest with a matching beanie and was now waiting for Paul to come pick me up.
I heard a car horn honk and I jumped and got up to see Paul in his truck, smiling I walked over and hopped in the truck. "Hey, ready to hear the stories" he asked me as he backed out of the driveway, I bit my lip "Are you sure I'm allowed? I don't want to intrude" I said Paul just rolled his eyes.
"Talia you're apart of this now, so for you to understand, you have to hear the legends" he told me "So basically this Is a learning thing?" I asked, and he nodded causing me to groan.
"I don't want to learn anything, that's what school is for!" I complained, and Paul just barked out a laugh and soon I was laughing along beside him on are way to La Push.
After we arrived Paul opened my door and helped me out before we walked over towards the group. "Hey Tales" Embry smiled at me as I sat down beside him, Paul plopping down next to me "You ready for the tales?" he asked me, I didn't get a chance to answer before I saw Jacob wheeling a man over to the bonfire.
He smiled warmly at me "You must be Talia" he asked me, I returned his smile "Nice to meet you Mr. Black" he chuckled shaking his head "Please call me Billy" he said, and I nodded before he began the stories, I sighed in content before I rested my head on Paul's shoulder, his arm around me.

I listened to the stories intrigued, they were so beautiful and the fact that they were real made them even more special. But it was when Billy got to the part about imprinting, that's what really got my attention. An imprint was the wolfs true love their soul mate and that had me thinking.
After the bonfire was over me and Paul were walking back towards his truck, but I was silent, there was just so much to take in. But there was one main point I was focusing on, could I be Paul's imprint? I felt Paul's worried glances he shot at me, but he didn't say anything…until we where standing by his truck.
"Are you alright?" he asked gently, well it was now or never "Am I your imprint?" I blurted out Great real smooth genius I thought as I glanced at Paul. Who was looking at me with awe and shock guess he wasn't counting on me figuring it out so quickly… if I'm right…. I don't think I could handle it if I wasn't.
Paul took a step closer to me "What if I said you were?" he asked cautiously "I'd say we're already together, so I don't think me being your imprint will change any of that" Paul smiled before he pulled me against him and kissed me deeply.
After a few minutes he pulled back, only to lean his forehead against mine both of us trying to get in air. "I love you" he whispered breathlessly I felt my heart stop before starting back up again at triple the speed I couldn't believe it.
"You love me?" I asked a smile forming on my face "I love you, Talia Carlson" he said looking me in the eye "I love you too, Paul Lahote" I told him smiling, his smile matching my own before he leaned forward kissing me softly.
Paul
Okay so I knew sitting outside of Talia's window watching her sleep was creepy, but I couldn't help it, I loved to watch her sleep she just looked so calm and peaceful. But that was before I saw her suddenly tense up and start shaking violently as she let out a quite scream.
"Talia!" I said panicked as I quickly opened the window and was by her side in a second, I bent down next to her shaking her gently "Talia, what's wrong? Wake up!" she just continued thrashing, before she suddenly bolted up her hand fluttering in the air.
"What do you need Talia?" I asked desperate "Sketchbook" she whimpered out, I quickly grabbed her sketchbook before giving it to her, she took it and started drawing on the page.
Soon she broke out of her trance "It's okay Tales" I told her gently rubbing her back as she took in some deep breathes before her face suddenly snapped towards mine "Paul?" she asked me like she was just now realizing I was here.
"Are you alright?" I asked concerned "I've never seen you like this" I told her watching her as she ran a hand through her hair. "I… was hoping you'd never find out" she whispered, "Your going to think I'm a… freak" she told me "Talia there's nothing that could make me think you're a freak" I told seriously as she nervously fiddled at her bed spread.
"Do... you remember when I drew that picture of a wolf, with Jacob's name?" she asked "Yeah" I said slowly, what did that have to do with anything? "Well I drew that picture, because I…. saw it" she told me glancing up nervously at me "But I didn't figure it all out, until I saw Jake at Sam's place" she looked up at me "I can draw the future."
Talia
I waited in silence for Paul to say something, but he just stared at me with a blank face. "Just like Alice" he finally said, wait what? I thought confused "Alice Cullen she's a vampire that used to live in Forks with her coven" he explained when he saw my confused face.
"She had visions too, butt I don't think she ever drew them" I bite my lip "I first started drawing my visions when I was young" I said, "I was six when I first drew a vision I had….it was of my father's accident" I told him.
"I was just a little kid I didn't even realize I drew a picture of my father's death. He was in a car accident" Paul leaned forward and collected me in his arms "I'm so sorry" he told me, I hugged him back before pulling away.
"Do…you're alright with your imprint having visions?" I asked him hesitantly, he gave me a slow smile "I don't care that you have visions" he told me softly, stroking my cheek lovingly.
"In case you haven't noticed I can turn into a furry dog" I giggled, and he pecked my lips "I love you so much" I smiled kissing him again "I love you too" I told him softly.
"Stay until I fall asleep?" I asked him, moving over on my bed, he nodded, and we settled into bed. When I was sure Paul was asleep I reached over to my sketchpad to see what I drew, and what I saw made my heart stop, it was a drawing of somebody being thrown down a flight of stone steps.
