Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga.

Embry led me to the outskirts of the town. And I thought the location of the store was remote...

"Where exactly are we Embry? I have to be home in a couple of hours." He winced, but smiled.

"Don't worry; someone will get you home in plenty of time." Someone?

"Where are you going?" He stopped walking, and turned to face me.

He sighed, looking around us wearily. I looked around too. There was nothing here, except for a little house about fifty feet away.

"I'm going to have to... Go away for a while. You'll have to take care of the store for a couple of days, okay?" My eyes widened. A couple of days?

"Where are you going? And why do I have to meet these friends of yours now?" Embry sighed again. He started to walk towards the house, so I followed.

"Its a long story that I don't have permission to tell you."

"You don't have permission?" My eyes narrowed at him.

We had reached the house now, and I had succeeded in making Embry 100% annoyed with me.

"Again, another long story. Just, promise to stay here as long as you can, and don't leave on your own, okay?" I rolled my eyes, turning to knock on the door.

"You're as if there's some type of danger out here'" I muttered, knocking.

"You have no idea." I turned around to stare at him, but he was gone. "Embry?"

"Kelly?" I spun around again. Someone had opened the door.

"Hello. Um, I'm a friend of Embry's, he kind of ditched me here. I think he intended for me to meet the people in there?" She raised an eyebrow at me, amused.

"Come on in, I'll introduce you to the family."

"Family?" She smiled.

"We're all family here, including you too, I guess. I'm Kim, in case you forgot." I frowned at her. Kim...

"Kelly! Hi! I don't think you'll remember me, we met for like, five seconds at the beach, but I'm Claire!" I frowned, it was weird because I did remember Claire.

Vaguely. And the beach and the fire... And all the buff men!

But, why would she assume I wouldn't remember her?

"Hey everyone!" I stared wide eyed at Kim as at least ten pairs of eyes turned to look in our direction. "This is Kelly."

I waved shyly. "Hello." It took about five seconds for them to converge on me. It was actually kind of scary.

They were all trying to introduce themselves at the same time. I had a hard enough time with names, this was just ridiculous.

"Alright, alright. Everyone back up, give the girl some room." They all took three steps back, making an opening for someone to walk through.

She stared at me for a few seconds in silence, while I tried to do the exact opposite.

"Hello, I'm-"

"Kelly. I know. I'm Emily, and I'm sure the rest of the girls will introduce themselves properly later on." The group laughed, somewhat nervously. "So, calm down and settle in. It's going to be a long night." The rest of the girls dispersed, but I stayed where I was.

A long night?

"No, no. I'm sorry, Emily?" She turned to me, surprised. "Emily. I'm sorry, but I'll have to get going by at least four..." Now everyone was staring at me. Again.

I cleared my throat, uncomfortable.

"You really want to go out there? When it's dark? Do you know..."Her voice trailed off.

"Do I know what?" Emily sighed.

"Great, you don't know. Well, I'm sorry Kelly, but I can't let you leave. It's not safe and I don't know how I'd live with myself if one of my own got hurt." I raised, an eyebrow at her, already backing away.

"One of your own?"

Emily smiled at the group of girls behind her.

"Yeah. Sam has his pack, and I've got my own." She looked back at me, but I was already out the door.

Who was Sam? What pack? Was this some type of cult?

Why did Embry take me there? Were those his friends?

I was out of breath when I stopped running three minutes later.

Now that I had slowed down, I realized that I was kind of lost.

Maybe running out in a random wasn't a very good idea...

I was just about to turn around, when someone grabbed me from behind They pulled me back, covering my mouth so I couldn't scream.

I kicked, but that didn't seem to affect my abductor.

So, when I lost sight of the road, I used my last resort.

I bit down, hard, on their hand.

They swore, releasing me.

I screamed, as loudly as I could before facing him.

He had his fingers in his ears, and he backing away from me, shaking.

For some bizarre reason, I felt the need to back up too.

Then I realized who it was, and stopped.

"Paul?" He glanced at me, and his shaking lessened.

I waited until it was only his hands shaking before walking towards him.

He smiled. "Hey Kelly." My good hand clenched at my side.

"What the hell was that for!" He shrugged, shoving his still shaking hands in his pockets.

"You were walking the wrong way, so..." He walked around me, back towards the road.

He stopped and turned back around when he realized I wasn't following him. "Aren't you coming?"

I glared at him.

I took three steps towards him, before pulling back my arm and punching him in the nose.

He took a step back, surprised. He wasn't even bleeding.

I bit my lip to keep from screaming.

Great, I broke my good hand hitting Paul again.

Wait, what?

"What was that for?"

"For being a jerk. A creepy, stalker jerk." But I couldn't really focus on what I was saying to him.

Not only did my hand kill. And if I had hurt my hand hitting Paul before, my good hand was probably broken too... But now I had to try and remember why I had hit Paul the first time.

And why did I forget about it so quickly?

Paul was shaking again, so I stepped around him, creating some space between us.

"Kelly, wait. Y-your other hand." He sighed as he reached for. I glared at him, jerking my hand away and wincing.

"Just leave me alone Paul." I started walking back towards the road.

"At least let me drive you to the hospital." I shook my head, ignoring the tears that had started to fall.

"Go home or something," I muttered.

"Kelly. Kelly! I'm sorry! Aren't imprints supposed to forgive each other?" I paused, cradling my hand to my chest.

"Imprint?" I shrugged, continuing to walk away. "I swear I've heard that word before..."

So, this chapter is kind of short. But I had to put something up before I start volunteering (again) Monday. And this weekend long basketball tournament kind of drained all my energy…
