Hello! How is everyone liking this story so far? I know I personaly love writing it! Anyway I am a tad disapointed with the reviews last chapter, there was only 5! I was hoping for at least 7....... but oh well I'm really happy about those 5 so far. This is the chapter where I start to introduce Sasha's little sister as a character, although she doesn't actually appear until the next chapter. In this chapter I also have Embry get tough with Sasha who is sometimes to stubborn for her own good. There is also just a little bit of fluff between them (I think that's what its called?) and some heated things as well. Please review because that's what keeps me writing! Enjoy!

Now on to the chapter after the short recap!

Home

-Recap-

Sasha why did you make me and Embry change? Why didn't you do it? We brought some extra clothes.'

'Oh yeah.... that.....'

I could tell she was probing my thoughts at this point, not waiting for me to tell her in my own words the reason. So I didn't bother.

'Oh Sasha.... you know you're going to need to before we go back. And you know we need to leave soon.'

'I know, I know, but it's still hard.....'

'Oh fine I can tell Embry is going to need to help you on this, Jacob and I will go back where we came from before you woke up.'

'You mean making out?' I thought with a snigger.

'Yes I , mean making out and blissfully ignoring the two of you' She huffed. Then she stood up and walked back into the shadows.

Embry stood up when he saw her leave, his eyes on me, with occasional flickers towards the place Leah disapeared, as if he was waiting for her to come back out. Jacob stood as well, but he let out a sigh and moved to the mouth of the cave and stood there, as if waiting for Leah as well.

Finally Leah emerged with skin, clothes, and two legs. She gave me one quick glance before making her way to Jacob. She passed Embry on the way and, I swear, without either of them looking they both raised a hand and high-fived each other. Although in this case it looked like Leah was tagging out and Embry was tagging in. Then Leah took Jacob's hand and held it tightly as they walked out of the cave, while Embry walked into the darkness.

-Recap Over-

'So let's go over this again. Why is this such a problem?' Embry asked me, his mind joining mine as he finished shifting.

He walked out of the darkness and padded over to me. Then he just stood there a foot away, looking down at me. I didn't like that he was looking down at me, but I still couldn't stand because of my injuries.

'Because I don't really want to go back.... Once I phase I know that it will be over.... and I'll have no choice.' I told him, grudgingly. This was embarrasing...

'And why don't you want to go back?' He asked me.

'Because everything will be different.... School will feel so different and my friends will to, home will just be awkward now that I know my mom has been lying to me my whole life, and I'll have to be part of a pack now. Once I get back, everything will become so complicated, out here life is simple.' I sighed.

'Coward.'

'WHAT!? Embry how dare you! I am NOT a coward!' I leaped to my paws, raised my hackles, and growled at him warningly. Although it barely registered in my current anger, I did make notice that I was now the same size as him.

'Well prove it to me then and stop running away!' He challenged me.

'I'm not running away!'

'Then what are you doing Sasha? Tell me!'

'I-I'm... I don't know...' I wimpered, letting my hackles fall. God I was being pathetic. No one ever saw this side of me except Lindsey. Oh shit. Lindsey!

'Your mom told us Lindsey's been worried sick about you. We haven't been able to tell her anything though because she's still human. Your mom said she cried the other day because no one would tell her where her big sister had disapeared to. Not even on her birthday' He told me solemly.

And that's when I felt the waves of guilt. Lindsey never cried. The last time she cried she was 5 years old, and ever since she hasn't shed a single drop. Now she was 12..... I had been so wrapped up in this whole werewolf thing that I had completely neglected my little sister. The girl had the purist heart I'd ever seen, but at the same time she was as tough as they come. But I had missed her birthday and made her cry for the first time in 7 years.... Some big sister I was.

'Sasha come home with me. We'll get through this together. School? It's not to much longer before we graduate, and while we don't have class together we can still meet during breaks and lunch. Home? Your mom was just trying to protect you, and it's not like you can leave Lindsey without her big sister. The pack? You have Leah and Jacob now, and.... you also have me. No matter what happens I'll always be by your side, even if you chose to stay here.' He told me gently before stepping closer and licking my muzzle.

As much as it pained me to admit it, and it did pain me, I knew Embry was right and I was wrong. I couldn't stay here even if he was willing to stay with me, that wouldn't be fair to so many people including him.

I couldn't leave Lindsey like this, she was counting on me. My mom may have lied to me, but she had been trying her best since I had been born, and George had always been good to me and Lindsey. I know my little social outcast group were probably worried about me to, Mollie, Linda, Nora, Amanda, and even J.T. Jacob and Leah had come this far to come get me so I couldn't let all their efforts go to waste.

And it would be cruel to make Embry stay here with me, his whole life is back in La Push. His mother, his best friends Jacob and Quil, and everything else he had known for his entire life. I sighed.

'Alright, alright. You win. I'll come home.' I told him gruffly. Then I paused before licking his muzzle in return. 'Thank you Embry, for making me see sense.'

'No problem Sasha you know I'm always here for you.' He said, before giving me this dopey looking wolf grin, then I noticed his tail started wagging. 'And I don't know if you've noticed, but it looks like you're all healed and ready to go!' He teased me.

I looked down at my legs and understood what he ment. The wounds I had gotten from the wolves earlier had been forgotten in my anger and now were fully healed. I laughed, and growled at him playfully. I guess I would have to get used to myself making those types of noises. It was kinda disturbing....

'Poor Sasha looks all tired, she doesn't look like she can fight, so maybe we should stay here until the danger of war is over.' He said, teasing me again. Challenging me. Big mistake.

I growled at him again, lightheartedly accepting his challenge. 'We'll see whose weak and can't fight you mangy furball!' I said, leaping at him with mouth shut and claws sheathed. (A/N = Not totally sure wolves can do that, I know cats can. The point is that this is a playful fight so they're not using fangs or claws on each other.)

We tumbled around for a bit on the dusty cave floor. I was having so much fun, I had forgotten all my worries and was just enjoying the moment with Embry.

'Ah that's sweet!' He teased me again as he tried to pin me.

'In your dreams lover boy!' I teased right back. He leaped and I dodged, tripping him so that he landed on his back when he landed awkwardly. Then I pinned him with my fourpaws on his chest.

'I win.' I told him gloatingly.

'Fine, fine you win THIS time Sasha Darin. Or should I say Sasha Uley? Now get off me you're heavy!' He said, STILL teasing me. Unfortunitly he brought up a subject I'd been trying to forget, and my rare happy mood was ruined.

'Embry why did you ask my mom about your father?' I asked him sadly. Embry had only mentioned his father once when we were kids. The only thing he had said was that his father had left his mother, and that was it.

He sighed at my question, his playful mood also turned serious.

'I had never really cared before, but that was before I bacame a werewolf. Before you came along, I was wondering who my half-brother might be. The most likely would be Jacob, Sam, or Quil. All of their fathers were married at the time. We are all wondering, but I never pushed them to ask because it wasn't important enough to cause turmoil amung the pack.'

'And now?' I asked him, wondering.

'When we get back I think there are some questions I need to ask a few people.' He said before giving me a small wolfish smile.

Then we felt someone phase.

'Embry, Sasha? Sorry to interupt, but we do need to be leaving soon. It shouldn't take us to long to get back because now we can go back in our wolf forms, but we should still step on it.' It was Jacob.

'Okay, okay buddy we're on it.' Said Embry. Jacob gave a quick laugh before phasing back and leaving us alone again, but not before I got an image that I had never wanted to see.

'Okay couldn't he have waited for another second? That's disgusting.' I said, revolted.

'Well Jacob is a teenage guy after all, what can you expect.' Embry said, with an even bigger wolfish grin plastered on his furry gray face.

'Still I don't need an image of him french kissing Leah!' I growled in frustration.

Embry gave a light bark of laughter. Then he seemed to think of something.

'You know I think I forgot to mentin to you a new development while you were gone. Paul imprinted.' He told me.

'What? Paul? Really? On who?' I asked a bit bewildered.

'Jacob's older sister, Rachel.'

'Oh I'm sure Jacob is thrilled with that.' I said laughing, trying to imagine Jacob's reaction.

'Oh Jacob was overjoyed!' He said with a small chuckle.

'Now are you ready to do this? Or am I going to have to give you another heart-warming speech and call you a coward?' He gave another light bark as he thought that.

'I think I can manage!'

'Slow down, I'll phase first. Just to remind you how it's done.' He was such a tease.

'Who? Little old me?'

'No my dead goldfish! Yes of coarse you, now just get on with it!'

'Okay, okay.' And then he trotted off into the darkness once again. Of coarse not without looking back at me and somehow managing to wag his eyebrows. Then he disapeared before I could react, and phased.

Good god, this boy is going to make me lose my mind one of these days.

Then Embry came out where I could see him. Like usuall he was wearing pants but no top leaving his bare chest open for me to see, and I think I almost did lose it. He was tall and slender, which by itself was a big plus in my book, but coupled with his long rounded musceles, which were a rich shade of red brown, and you had me hooked. I thought that his cropped black hair would look better a little longer, but it complemented his dark brown eyes.

"Like what you see?" He asked me arrogently.

I growled at him. He put up his hands in a -I surrender- type motion. Then he laughed.

"Well sorry it's just you were staring at me for so long that I had to find a way to get your attention! Oh and your clothes are already back there, your mom gave them to us." He said, nodding his head towards the darkness.

I let out a huff of air at him before trotting to the back of the cave where I would be changing. Once I was sure Embry couldn't see me, I let out a sigh. In a way I would miss this type of life, like I told Embry it was less complicated. But at the same time I wanted to go back home to see Lindsey and everyone else who was important in my life. Phasing now would be the last mental step to going back home.

With Lindsey on my mind I let the heat rush over my body, and I felt the structure of my body change as became human once again. I smiled, I had done it.

Now I looked around for my clothes and spotted them just a few feet away. After I walked over to them, I inspected them, wondering which clothes my mom had decided on. The bottoms didn't surprise me, they were just your run-of-the-mill jeans, my favorite. It was the top that surprised me and made me laugh. It was my newest top, that my mom and I had disagreed on when we bought it, I didn't like the ugly green color but what made me buy it was the words

Consider

your butt

already

kicked.

I hope Embry would get a good laugh out of it. I put the jeans on and then the shirt, immediately reminded of why my mom didn't like it. It was a little to snug around the chest, but it had been on sale and I couldn't get it in another size. (A/N = I know I mentioned she had a big chest before, and I do not plan on bringing this up a lot it's just needed for the next part.) Fully dressed I walked back to where Embry was waiting for me.

"Okay you can turn around now." I laughed, now standing a few feet away from him. I hadn't even thought to ask him to turn around because I knew he wouldn't be able to see me, but he did it anyway. It was kind of cute in a way.

He stood up and turned around with a smile on his face, then when he saw me I thought he rather appropriate to someone who had been hit over the head with a club. (A/N = Harry Potter line btw. I think when Harry and Ginny first kiss and Harry looks at Ron's reaction.)

His mouth became slack and was hanging open slightly, and his eyes were staring very pointedly at my shirt, well okay my chest. Perv.

"Like what you see?" I smirked, throwing his own words back at him. He looked up at my face when I said that and next thing I know I'm being crushed to his chest, my lips locked in his. Holy shit.

I had dated only once before at my old school, but I had dumped the guy after 2 weeks. I had been crushing on him, but quickly realized I didn't like him that way soon after, but we had never NEVER kissed.

Embry's lips were moving very persuasivly against mine, shorting out my current thoughts. Before my mind had caught up with what was happening my lips joined his, creating a perfect rythem. My hands came up from my sides and placed themselves, one on his shoulder and the other buried itself in his cropped black hair, attempting to pull him closer to me. I wasn't really having any thoughts at this moment in time, I was just letting my body act on instinct, and I was aware that this felt good. My lips were still moving against his andI wished I could always be kissing Embry.

Unfortunitly I didn't have an unlimited supply of air, and eventually had to pull away. Fuck.

We stood there panting, his arms still locked around me and my hands still resting on his shoulder and in his hair. Then my mind finally realized what happened. I had just had mt first kiss. I smirked, no wonder my friends were always talking about it, that was absolutly fantastic!

Of coarse I knew it wouldn't feel the same if I kissed anyone else, I just knew it had to be Embry. As we stood there, still trying to catch our breathes, and looked into each other's eyes I realized that not only did I not want to be with anyone else, I couldn't actually imagine being with anyone but Embry. I was going to take a guess that Embry had a few girlfriends while I'd been gone and I was going to also guess that this was not his first kiss, but from the glazed over look in his eyes, I imagined he still felt the same way I did.

"Geez Embry, for a moment there I had forgotten Jacob wasn't the only teenage guy around here. Thanks for reminding me," I said teasingly, my breathing now under control.

"Sorry about that, but when I saw you in that shirt I couldn't control myself," He laughed, "What it says is just so... so you. It reminded me exactly why I love you so much."

"What, not my drop-dead gorgious looks? And besides Embry you love me because you imprinted on me." I said, laughing. The last part where he only loved me because of imprinting hurt a bit, but I shrugged it off. I kept myself uterly happy with the fact that he had kissed me because he loved me and not because I had boobs.

Embry now looked at bit hurt as well and stared at me seriously, bringing his right hand up to stroke my cheek lovingly.

"No Sasha I've always loved you, even when we were kids. It hurt when you left and I made myself forget about you for a bit while you were gone, but as soon as you came back, well let's just say that there is no doubt in my mind that I would've fallen for you again, imprint or no imprint."

What he said had been so sweet that a small part of me wanted to gag, (A/N = As you've probably realized by now Sasha is not usually the touchy-feely sort of girl, but like this she has her moments.) but a bigger part of me wanted to do something else entirly.

I took my left hand that was still on his shoulder and brought it to my cheek, holding his hand in place. I leaned into his touch and closed my eyes, thinking about how to phrase what I was going to say in response. Then I opened my eyes and gazed into his deep brown eyes, drowning in them.

"In all honesty, I can't say I was in love with you back then. I was to much of a kid to even think about love, but..... I do know that you were the most important person to me outside of my family, much more then Jacob and Paul, and that breaking your arm and leaving like I did nearly destroyed me." I watched his rich brown orbs as the emotions, that were in reaction to my little confession, raced through them.

And then I leaned forward and kissed him. I didn't have to lean forward that much or raise my self considering our height difference was probably around only 3 inches. (A/N = Sasha is around 6'0 at this point and according to wiki, Embry is 6'3)

I kept my eyes open for the first fraction of a second just to judge his reaction, but I closed them when his eyes widened in surprise, then closed as he started kissing back.

My hands were back in their original positions, on his shoulder, and buried in his short raven hair. His arms snaked around my waist, then settled on my hips, and I let out a breathy moan. Embry nibbled on my bottem lip, asking for entrance and I quickly obliged. I let out a soft gasp as his tounge met with mine for the first time and we –

"Will you two stop making out already?! We need to get moving!"

Embry groaned and I growled at the voice, then resentfully pulled away from my heated kiss with Embry and opened my eyes. Of coarse I already knew there was only ONE person who would interupt us like that, well except Lindsey who wasn't here, and I gave her a glare.

"Leah couldn't you have waited a bit longer?" I asked her, slightly annoyed.

"No we need to get going, you guys have already been in here for hours! Embry was only supposed to make sure you could phase okay, you weren't supposed to start heavily making out! Now come on lets go I'm worried about Seth, without me watching him he's bound to get in some sort of trouble." Leah said. Jacob came into view then, and chuckled.

"Come on Leah, give them a break. Sasha is just enjoying this new found experience, and poor Embry doesn't have the strength to resist her." He teased us. I'm sure my already somewhat dark skin got a lot darker as his words sunk in and I felt the warmth spread across my face. My face got even warmer when a look of surprise flashed across Embry's face at this new information.

"You bastard, how did you know?! You had no right to say that! I'm going to kill you for this Jacob!" I yelled at him, angrily.

"Well it was obvious, you're still such a tomboy that I bet you didn't bother with boyfriends, let alone kissing. Well I guess your mom might of let it slip to my dad before we left," Jacob said teasingly.

"Wait Sasha that was your first kiss?" Embry said as a smirk ran across his handsome face.

"No! I've kissed plenty of guys before! I've even lost count!" I bit out at them.

"Sasha for future reference, you're a terrible liar!" Leah said to me shaking her head. I scowled at her. Usually I was a much better liar, but my heade was still spinning from kissing Embry.

When she said that, the grin on Jacob's face disapeared immediately.

"We need to get going, everyone prepare to phase and bind your clothes." Jacob said gruffly, before stalking out of the cave. By this point all of us were no longer grinning, or in my case yelling in embarasement, as we watched him leave. Then Leah let out a sigh.

"That was my fault, Bella was the worst liar I've ever seen and what I said apparently brought back painful memories. He may have imprinted on me, but he still deeply cares about her as a sister... I think," She told us with sad smile, the pain obvious in her eyes.

"Well we better do as he says, let's all phase and get out of here," Leah told us, with another sigh.

And about ten minutes later we were ready to leave. I mentally sniggered as I remembered Leah helping me tie my clothes to my hind leg. I had smacked her face with my bushy white tail in revenge for her interupting my moment with Embry.

'Yes, yes very funny.' Leah said grumpily. I smiled.

'Alright guys, let's run!' Jacob thought to us excitedly, back to his usual self.

And with thoughts of home and family we charged out of the cave and into the forest, officially starting our journey home.

-Time Skip-

We were getting close, I could see familiar landmarks rushing past us. I was almost home, it wouldn't be to long now, only another ten or fifteen minutes at most. I could hear the thoughts of the others and they were feeling the same excitement I was. The sun was high in the sky, but low enough that I knew Lindsey had probably just gotten out of school.

Then I felt another mind join the four of ours.

'Good, you're almost back.' I heard the new voice say. That cold and basicly emotionless voice, who else could it be but my darling older half-brother Sam?

I could feel Sam roll his eyes at that, and I could hear the amusment from the other three.

'Hey Sam we'll be there in like ten so could you round them up for our welcome home?' Jacob laughed.

'Oh can you call my family to?' I asked him, trying to be polite.

Sam just snorted at my attempt, but fortunitly agreed.

'You're going to have to come human though, I assume you want your sister there?'

'Yes!' Then I paused, struggling even to think the next words to him. 'Thankyou... Sam.' I eventually got out, as much as it pained me.

Embry who was running next to me, his grey pelt brushing against mine, stumbled a bit in surprise before catching back up to me. Then I felt Sam let out another snort.

'You don't have to try so hard you know. I'm not the cruel evil dictator I know you're imagining.' He thought to me wryly.

'Okay then I'll take it back, and I'll see for myself if you're the cruel evil dictator I think you are.' I said with a smirk.

Sam let out a sigh and told us to meet at his house before phasing out.

'Ah sibling love.' I heard Leah snicker. I growled at her, sibling my ass, I didn't want to be related to the guy at all.

'Okay guys lets stop to phase right before we get there.' Jacob told us.

A few minutes later, we were on two legs, in clothes and as far as I knew, alone in our minds. Then we spent five minutes closing the rest of the distance between us and Sam's house. The distance between me and my little sister. Suddenly I had butterflies. What was I going to say to her when she asked me where I had been these last few weeks? I actually didn't care how the others took my running away, to hell with them if they had a problem with it.

I felt Embry take my hand and hold it tightly. My butterflies disapeared with the contact.

"It'll be okay." He told me, and I gave him a small smile in return. We didn't say anything more till we got there, those three words and my smile were enough. Then we stopped in front of the door

Leah and Jacob went through the door first, giving us a backward glance. I just nodded at them. I took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself.

"You ready?" Embry asked me quietly. I snorted.

"As ready as a runnaway werewolf can be," I replied.

He gave me a small smile and then we seperated hands as we walked into Sam's house, which was where this whole mess started. And then I saw them all in the kitchen, (A/N = Maybe I read wrong but I got the impression this was the first room you walk into.) Leah was in the corner scolding Seth about something, Jacob, Sam, Jared, and Quil were talking while leaning against the counter, and Paul was murmering to a girl who looked a bit like Jacob meaning she was probably his imprint Rachel. Billy Black was also there talking with my step-father George and Emily, but I couldn't see my mother or Lindsey anywhere.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at us when we entered. No one spoke for a moment, before I couldn't stand it and cleared my throat.

"Um can someone tell me where my mother and sister are?"

"Siera went to pick Lindsey up from soccer practice when we heard you were coming back, they should be here any second," explained George with a small smile.

"Oh, okay then." I said before the room became silent once more, well until Sam stepped forward.

"Welcome back Sasha," He told me with a small smile, shaking my hand.

Then there were murmers around the room of welcome backs, Quil came up to pat Embry on the back and wisper something in his ear. George came up and gave me a hug, and to my surprise so did Billy. Then Rachel aproached me with Paul tagging behind her.

"Hi Sasha, my name is Rachel. It's nice to meet you, seeing as you're my cousin and all." She said with a small laugh. I had forgotten that since Jacob was my cousin it ment Rachel was to.

"Hi Rachel, it's nice to meet you to. Make sure you tame that bad boy behind you okay?" I said with a smile, pointing my thumb at Paul.

"I'll make sure to keep him in line!" She grinned. Paul grumbled.

Before I could say more I heard someone stomping of the front steps. Then the door banged open as a familiar face rushed in, panting and red.

"SASHA!" Yelled my little sister Lindsey, as she flung herself at me.

"Lindsey!" I laughed, hugging her tightly. My face in her blond hair as I started tearing up. I wasn't a big crier myself, but when I had her in my arms again I couldn't help myself, I was SO happy!

I heard a few murmers of surprise and immediately knew what caused them. It wasn't the fact I was tearing up it was the fact that Lindsey and I looked nothing a like. I had dark hair and she had blond, I had dark skin and she had a light cream-colored. We assumed that she took after her mysterious father, but her eyes were the same as mine, a bright blue. It was the only really noticable thing that we both shared, it came from our mom.

"I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!" She said, tearing up just like me. I was about to respond before I noticed something over her shoulder that left me speechless.

There were two eyes staring at Lindsey like they had just seen the sun for the first time.

(A/N = So how was the chapter? This took me awhile to do because I got stuck on some parts of it and I actually spent some time editing it for grammatical errors. That's not usually something I do. Anyway surprise surprise, I had someone imprint on Lindsey, can you guess who? But man did this chapter have a lot of things in it! I think this is the longest chapter I've ever typed its over 5,000 words!, and I'm really proud of it! I think Sasha was a little weaker in this chapter then usual, but I think its because no matter how tough you are this whole thing can't be easy. Is anyone surprised at how deep Sasha's and Lindsey's relationship is? It's a little more then usual sisters I think. Please review so I can tell what you thought about this chapter!)
