Violet POV
TODAY WAS THE BONFIRE! Embry keeps making such a big deal about this. Man, he's such a dope. A cute dope. I rolled over on the bed and turned to face the clock. It was 1:14. I decided that was late enough. I stretched and yawned, not bothering to keep my voice down. I heard a "finally!" downstairs. I laughed. I got up slowly and made my way to the door. When I opened the door, there stood an Embry, with his fist in knock position.
"Oh, hey Vi. Glad you're awake." He said, smiling, with dimples. I never noticed those. I found myself giving him a huge, sleepy smile. He moved closer to me and took me in his arms. I hugged him hard and he inhaled deeply. He pulled back and his eyes went straight to my lips. He leaned closer to me, but I leaned further back. Confusion and pain crossed his features. I smiled.
"Morning breathe, Embry." I stated. He relaxed and smiled back, so sincerely.
"Violet, I would kiss you if you had QUIL'S LIPS." Embry smiled. I shook my head with a slight smile.
"Quil's lips?" I laughed and made my way to the bathroom door.
AFTER THE BATHROOM
I opened the bathroom door, feeling refreshed. I walked into the bedroom I was staying in and gasped. Embry was asleep on my bed. Awww. He was waiting for me! I grinned and made my way quietly to his sleeping figure. I could so be a spy. Even a werewolf couldn't hear me! I reached my finger out to poke Embry's chest. He shuffled and turned the other way. I jumped on top of him and put my face extremely close to his face. I just stared at him for a few minutes. I was so lost in my daze that I didn't notice one of his eyes opened. He took his chance and connected his lips to mine. I quickly caught on and wrapped my arms around him. He then disconnected his lips from mine, as if making sure what he did was okay. I giddily smiled at him. He looked like the happiest person ever to walk the earth. He got up and lifted me up with no effort. He held me like a baby, with his hand on my bottom. I had my arms wrapped around his neck and we were both smiling like maniacs. We were making our way down the stairs when I heard a familiar girly squeal.
"CLAIIIREEE! Is that you?" I yelled.
"YEEEEEEESSSS! Wilet! Why you sweep so wooongg?" she demanded with her arms crossed. I jumped out of Embry's arms and picked up Claire. Was she lighter or did I get stronger? I littered her face with kisses and she giggled. "Weady to go to the bwonwire?" she asked jumping up and down. I then joined her.
"Oh yea! Yea! I hear there's some kind of shock in store for me. Right Seth?" I asked nodding toward Seth. Embry glared pointedly at him.
"Uh yea Violet" he said nervously, then walked out the door. I shrugged. These boys were getting weird. I walked to the front door and looked outside. It was sunny and not a cloud to be seen in the sky.
"Hey Violet. Ready to go,?" he said, signaling to his truck.
"Hey, can we walk? It's such nice weather." I said. Claire took my hand, on board with my decision.
"Alright. Let's go." He said easily. I found out that Quil had patrol and would be joining us later at the beach.
AFTER THE WALK
Embry POV
Oh man, was I nervous. What was I thinking? I should back out of this now! No. I will not. I have to do this. Violet deserves as much. I took a large breathe and ran a hand through my hair. I looked around and saw she was collecting sea shells with Claire. She was laughing and Claire was twirling around in circles. This picture made me smile. Collin, Seth, Brady, and Leah were putting logs around the wood that we collected. Paul and Jared were working on getting the fire going. I heard a truck pull up. I glanced where the noise came from and smiled. There in the truck was Emily, Sam, and Billy. The stories would begin soon. I ran to where they were and greeted Billy.
"Hey Billy. How are you?" I said politely.
"I'm doing great, son. The question is, how are you doing?" Billy laughed. I chuckled nervously.
"Fiiine." I said, lying through my teeth. He smiled knowingly.
"Whatever you say, Embry." I then helped him into his wheel chair while Sam and Emily made their way to the beach. I wheeled him to the beach. Violet made her way up to us and gave Billy an enormous hug.
"Woah. Aren't you getting strong, Vi?" Billy asked perplexed. Violet sighed.
"WHY has everyone been telling me that?" she seemed confused. Sam looked over, his eyes widened. I gave him a questioning look, but he shook his head. I made my way over to him to get some answers.
Violet POV
Why was I getting so strong? Alice was right. What was happening to me? My thoughts got interrupted when Embry walked straight to Sam. They walked into the forest and out of my hearing range. I then saw Quil emerge from the forest. He gave me a worried look, but it quickly disappeared. What the heck was going on?
"Hey Violet. How you is?" Quil said, ecstatically.
"I'm confused, Quil. Why is every one being so secretive around me?" I asked demandingly. Quil looked uncomfortable. He squirmed under my intense gaze.
"Don't worry, kid. You'll find out soon." He said, running off to the food table. I hmmphed. Embry then came out of the trees and came directly toward me. he had that same worried glance Quil gave me.
"Violet. Sam just told me about all your changes." Mbry stated.
"Yeah.. I might turn into a werewolf. Like you." I smiled weakly. Embry sughed.
"I wouldn't want you to deal with that kind of thing. We just have to keep you from getting angry. That's not going to be an issue. You're the most cheery person I know." Embry grinned. I was thankful that the mood lightened. Billy then called us to gather around him. The stories would begin. I gave Embry a kiss on the cheek and he beamed. We made our way to one of the logs and got comfortable. There were two very odd things that went on during this bonfire. First, everybody kept looking at me. they were uneasy and excited. The second thing was that Billy didn't tell the regular legends I hear, but one I never heard before. It was about "imprinting". The legend was about a third wife who sacrificed her life to kill a cold one. Imprinting was when a wolf found their mate. Their other half. Their soul mate. I found myself very interested in the stories, which was easy, thanks to Billy's awesome story-telling. After the story was done, everyone got up and some said "good luck" to Embry. I looked curiously at a nervous-looking Embry.
"Um. So, Violet. How'd you like that legend?" he asked, twisting his fingers together.
"I liked it. Actually, more than any other legend I ever heard Billy tell." I replied truthfully. Embry exhaled sharply.
"What did you think about imprinting?" he asked, looking at me intensely.
"Well, all I know is that imprinting is when a wolf finds their mate. They're destined to be together. Is that right?" I asked Embry. He nodded.
"That's pretty much it. It's such a strong connection between two people. But its not forced. It just brings you to the person faster. It leads you in the right direction. It would end up that way eventually." He added quickly, almost like he was remembering something. It then clicked
"Embry. Did you imprint on me?" I asked. His eyes widened in alarm.
"How did you know? Wait, are you mad?" he asked, beginning to have a panic attack.
"Calm down Embry." I took his large hand in my petite one. He relaxed. "It was pretty obvious. I mean, the instant connection we had to each other, the fact that you're a wolf, your nervousness, and the looks everybody has been giving me…. And I'm not mad. As you said, it isn't forced. It would end up this way. Even if you didn't imprint on me, I don't think I would pick anybody else." I smiled. Embry then grabbed me gently and pulled me to his chest. He kissed me all over, with me giggling uncontrollably.
"YOU ARE THE BEST! I love you, Angel." He sated, with love and sincerity in his eyes.
"I love you too, Embry." I smiled and hugged him tighter. Everyone came back and congratulated us. I learned that Jared imprinted on Kim, Paul on Rachel, Sam on Emily, and umm…. Quil on Claire. Before I had the chance to freak out, they explained to me that he was just a big brother figure for her. Oh boy. Quil was so lucky. I was about to throw down with him! After we sorted all these complications out, we just hung out by the fire. We laughed and told jokes.
"Hey! What do you think a cow's doing when he's packing a suitcase?" Quil asked, trying to hold in his laugh. Everybody rolled their eyes, tired of Quil's corny jokes. I laughed and thought. Corny jokes were my thing!
"Oh. I don't know Quil. What?" I asked, eager to hear the answer.
"He's mooooooooooooving!" Quil and I burst into peals of laughter. Oh, man. That was a good one. I couldn't stop. Quil and I had our backs pressed together, trying to keep upright. My laughter stopped however, when I heard a familiar voice.
"Violetta."
Everything turned quiet. The laughter dissolved in a second. I was frozen. Everyone was speechless. I turned to the direction every one else was looking at. There stood the person I dreaded the most. My mom.
