Sam came closer to Carm so there were only a few inches between their two bodies.

Carm took her hands and reached them forward placing them on Sam's chest. It was bare and she could feel the muscles moving around as he moved slightly. "The skin is too warm to belong to a vampire." She thought for a moment about what Jasper had said and she asked Alice, "Do you mind if I get a bit closer to him, Alice?"

"Go ahead"

Carm took a step closer to Sam so that her nose was literally against his skin and took a deep breath in. Emmett laughed, "Any guesses yet Carm?"

"You guys say that I know him?" she listened to Edward's thoughts for a moment. "Well the smell is familiar to me but I can't seem to place it except for the time when I was in Texas and that morning." Her eyes shot open as she attempted to rip Alice's hands off of her eyes.

"One guess first Carm and then you can see."

"It can't be him. But the smell is the same. I guess the only one I have to say is Sam."

Alice jumped off of her back before letting her hands off of Carm's eyes. Allowing Carm to see Sam.

Carm let her eyes adjust to the light again as she stared into Sam's eyes, she let her arms hug him as he stood there like a stone the same way everyone else did. Jasper smiled as he let go of anything that he was holding for her. "It is alright guys, I think she should be able to handle herself without any help from us right now or so I think that should be it."

Rose walked up to Carm and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Carm, since you finished off the deer this morning by yourself I think that I need to go hunting is it okay if I take off with Emmett and go do that? I am fairly sure that you should be safe enough here with Sam and everyone else here."

Carm hugged Rose, "Sure thing go ahead and take off. Have some fun and catch a few things for yourself." She turned her attention back to Sam as Rose and Emmett took off out of the clearing. "You have been up here all this time?"

"Yes, I have been." He smiled at her, and then remembered that she did not know about the transformation that he had gone through. He had kept it hidden from her the entire time that they had been together during the time he had spent down in Texas. "But I think I need to show you something. I know that it will end up freaking you out but I think that you should know about this before I introduce you to my pack mates who are going to be in class with you. I am sure that you are wondering how they are going to be able to keep you safe from anything happening during that class."

Carm nodded, still not taking her eyes off of him. "I need you to go stand between Jasper and Edward for me." he smiled at her and added, "I think it is going to be a bit embarrassing for you at first but it will all come clear as to why I smell the way I do."

Carm listened to him and went to stand between Jasper and Edward as he had told her to go do. He began to strip in front of her removing the cut of jeans that he wore. And then Carm had to blink because she did not believe her eyes. His back arched and his hand hit the ground as his body transformed into a huge black wolf. She smiled at him. That did explain a lot as to why he tended to smell so bad.

'Okay guys I think we are ready to have Embry and Jared come and join me in the clearing'

Edward smiled at him, "she is not shocked yet. So maybe if you want ask all three to join us. Unless you think that it will be too distracting for her to have all three here."

'I do think that.' He remembered how it was the first time that he set his eyes on Emily, 'it will take too much time for them two to let their eyes off of each other but if you think she will be able to handle it. Then maybe he can come but stay in this form.'

'Really I can come?' Paul was excited as he took off in a full run for the clearing.

'Behave, Paul.' The others knew enough that this was an order coming out of Sam's thoughts. 'There are enough of us here that we can stop you from seeing her if you don't. Jared and Embry wait until he is here and then come into the clearing all together.'

Sam picked up his jeans and took off into the woods for a second; Carm stared after him for a few seconds before yelling after him. "You don't have to leave. You did not freak me out that badly."

Edward's voice was calm as he spoke to her. "He is going to come back he has just gone into the woods to change back into a human form, it will be a second."

Sam walked back into the clearing a few minutes later. "I hope that explains a few things to you."

"Kind of I guess. It does make me a little more comfortable when it comes to that calculus class that I have in the afternoon having two of you around."

Sam looked at Edward. "They will be coming up for behind you but I think they are going to stay in wolf form just so that she knows who is who. They will transform right in front of her back to humans, it was Embry's idea, but I like it myself." He turned to Carm, "what do you remember of the night that I found you?"

"Not that much. Which is a surprise, or so that is what everyone thinks. I was in a lot of pain or so I thought." She looked at her arms that he had not seen the scars were back and all bloody. "After I meet these two I will tell you the rest of the story." She smiled at Jasper and let her head hang. "These guys don't even know all of it. I tend to leave stuff out especially when it comes to talking about Jeff, it is sometimes just too painful to think about those memories, but with you here it might be a bit easier."

Sam put both hands on her shoulders and turned her around so that she was facing the place where Rose and Emmett had taken off through, "Do me a favour and look through there." Three wolves emerged from the forest's edge. Carm's eyes scanned them shifting from the one on the far right to the one on the far left and then to the middle one. The eyes on the silver wolf in the middle caught her for a few seconds and it was like she could not look away from him.

Her voice came as a whisper "The sliver one in the middle" she smiled as he spit something out of his mouth and changed into a human right in front of her. Putting on a pair of black cut of jeans as he walked towards her, for that moment Carm completely forgot about the pain she was feeling. The fact that she had just promised to spill her guts about the dreadful night that she had sworn to her subconscious that she would never speak of again. His eyes were locked on hers seemingly by the same force that kept her eyes locked on his. It was a faint thing in the background but she was sure that Sam was yelling.

"Jared, Embry the two of you might as well change into human form I think the imprinting is not going follow any rules right now." Sam turned to Edward and spoke in what still sounded like a whisper but she did not care, the fact was she was paying little attention to anything around her besides this wolf-boy who was a few feet away from her with his arms stretched out waiting to embrace her in them. "It is not supposed to happen when we are in our wolf form. In all the time, in all the things that I have read that date back to the beginning there has only been 2 times that a member of the tribe has been able to imprint in wolf form."

Carm stepped forward and into his arms. His voice was soft as he spoke to her, "I'm Paul, and you have got to be Carm"

"Yes, I am"

Paul's arms folded around her as Sam's thoughts entered his head warning him that he had disobeyed a direct order that was given to him. He could feel Embry and Jared on either side of him and he wondered how much Carm could feel. She lifted her nose up to lightly touch the base of his neck.

"You smell much better than Sam smells." She whispered, still not turning away from him.

"I guess I'll take that as a compliment" he smiled at her as they were both still ignoring his two "brothers" that were standing behind him with their hands on his shoulders.

'Paul, I believe I told you to stay in wolf form'

Paul signed he hated when Sam pulled this authority thing on him and the fact is that he had to pull away from Carm as much as he hated doing that. He turned her around in his arms allowing her to see him but still keeping his human arms around her and his eyes on her. "Is that better now we are both happy, you can talk to her and I don't have to let go of her." He smiled at Sam and kissed her hair. "I must admit you smell better than a lot of your kind, to me at least."

"Well I guess that will have to do." Sam motioned to Jared and Embry as he introduced them to her. "As you saw the two of them are both wolves much like I am or what Paul is." He settled himself on a stump nearby, folding his arms across his chest, and glared at Carm. "I think I am not the only who is waiting to hear the rest of this story, by the look on Jasper's, Alice's and Edward's faces I would assume that you had promised them that the story was full already."

Carm twisted back to face Paul and kiss him very lightly, she was not too sure how this was going to work. But she did trust herself and he did not seem to object to the idea of what she was doing. He just kissed her back ignoring the moans that were coming from Embry and Jared as they sat there on the log and watched this happen. After a few seconds she let go letting her golden eyes smoulder, holding his for a few second then turning them to Edward who was glaring at her, she could feel Jasper hovering over her and that was something that she did not like too much. "Would you calm down, it is not like I left out a big part of the story." She looked at Jasper for a few seconds then deliberated over the few points of the story that she had missed in the previous times of telling it. "Okay, that was a lie I did leave out two really big points..." Carm froze mid sentence her eyes went blank as she stared into space, but seeing nothing. Her eyes shut and then opened with a white gloss over them as she looked around.

The Chamber in Volterra was in front of her, on the ground lay a girl with dark brown hair as her new family stood around her. Aro smiled where he stood and Demetri turned to her, his mouth moved as he spoke to her, 'you are the only one who could have stopped this' he smiled at her seeming to forget of the company he was in.

The vision faded to black as another one started.

They were in the Chamber in Volterra again, only this time Jane and Alec hovered over Edward's body as he was over this same girl on the floor. He was pleading with Aro to let him die as well. Carlisle and Alice stood there just watching this happen unable to do anything with Alec so close to the two of them making it impossible for them to move. Demetri said nothing this time he simply stood behind Aro smiling at the outcome.

The vision as the last one had done faded to black too. And uncharacteristically another vision started,

She was in a house that she did not recognize, there was screaming going on upstairs as she ran up them. She found Jane on the floor in the room in a state of what appeared to normal eyes that she was dead. The brown haired girl was kneeling in the corner of the room, shaking. The sweet smell coming off of her skin was almost irresistible, and she knew she had to get out of there. She took a look at the calendar on the desk, April 25th.

When this vision faded to black she was able to shake her head sending herself back to the clearing and reality. Not too sure what to tell everyone that was standing around her. This was going to be a long story to get out.
