The shopping trip had been a success. Chloe had gotten a lot more suitable clothes for the La Push weather then she had come with and got to spend time with her two best friend and do a proper catch up session with both, without Quil and Embry butting in.

It had been about 5:30 when they had dropped Sabrina back home and Chloe had noted that both Bella's truck and her boyfriend's, who she found out from Sabrina was Edward Cullen, car weren't in the driveway or on the road side. She assumed that they had done the thing that couples do and gone on a date been as it was a nice calm night and she knew Charlie would be watching the game.

But there was something about Edward that made Chloe understand why Billy and Jacob distrust him. She wasn't sure what it was but there was something in her brain that was telling her to go back to the books of the Quileute tribe legends but then in the breath it is telling her that it was nothing and that she was being paranoid about someone she didn't know.

It wouldn't be the first time that she had that feeling. It was like the feeling she had with one of her ex-boyfriends a couple of months ago. The relationship hadn't lasted long been as he was very guarded about his personal life and he would never take him to his house or introduce her to his family.

She had tried to introduce him to her parents but they has just finished the divorce and her mother wasn't very interested in her or what she did with her life. But Matt, Matt had made her feel wanted, which felt nice at first. He had taken an interest in her life, but then she felt like he wasn't really showing himself, just what she wanted to do and it made her feel weird about it.

She tried to see what he was interested in or know what he did when he wasn't with her but he just brushed off the subject. In the end it had made her feel penned in and as if she HAD to spend him with him or he wouldn't do anything. Then there was the fact she never saw him eat anything, telling her that he wasn't hungry.

It had all creeped her out in the end and so she broke it off. This had only been three weeks before her mother sent her to live with Billy so it was about four weeks ago. Sure he had tried to talk to her since, tried to convince her that he would do anything to make her happy and that he loved her. But that was what drove the final nail in the coffin as it were.

But Edward. He looked so much like Matt in structure. Matt had been 16 when they went out, they had met in the school library. Chloe through it was cute because they met in the fiction section. She had been looking for copy of Romeo and Juliet for her English class until her own copy was delivered while he was looking for Merchant of Venice.

Matt must have only been a few inches shorter then Edward, and they had the same shoulder structure and the same shade of paleness in their skin. But it was the eyes that were really peculiar, they were both the same shade of dusty gold. It was rare as far as she knew there was now two people she knew had the shape and they both had the pale skin and attraction.

She hadn't brought up the subject with Billy again knowing that it was a subject that he was protective of. Chloe couldn't understand why he was but at the same time, she felt like she had to work out what she had learned of Edward first before she could have that conversation with him.

There was just something too unnatural about both Matt and Edward that she just had to put together and Understand or it would not let her rest until she did because it was such a simple thing that she should know by sight, but she didn't know What that something was.

So here she was, sitting on her bed with her Quileute tribe legend books out around her. She knew that Billy has gone around Harry Clearwater's for a bit and Jake had asked if she wanted to go with him to Embry's house to hang out with him, Embry and Quil. But she told him that she just wanted to have a bit of settling time in her new room and put things away that they had brought.

It wasn't a total lie. She had put away everything in a new place where it would live and she had made sure that she was unpacked, along with the fact that she was having me time, she was just having it by looking for a clue to what her brain was telling her about Edward.

It was about 7 when she heard a knock on the door.

'Who could that be?' she thought to herself. She closed the book she was reading and carried it out of her bed room and to the front door, there was no one there but she opened it away/. She looked around and saw that Paul was only a few feet away walking slowly away.

"Paul?" she called out, really hoping it was him and not someone else that looked like him. At the sound of his name Paul turned his head and looked in the direction that the sound had come from and turned to see that it was his Chloe at the door, dressed in jeans and a blank, white t-shirt.

"Hey Chloe" he said as she started to walk back towards her, trying to keep his pace slow and not look like he was running towards her. Last thing he needed was to frighten her by looking too eager.

"Billy's no home right now" Chloe said not really sure what to say to boy at the door. She knew that he wouldn't be here for Jacob been as they weren't in the same year as one another and from what she's heard they weren't friends so it would only be Billy that he would be looking for.

"Yeah, I know" Paul said as he came to the bottom of the steps up to the house. Chloe could tell that even then she was only towing over him by a little bit but not by much.

"And Jakes at Embry Call's with him and Quil" she said next, thinking that was the next logical person he would be looking for at the Black's house been as the twins were away at collage. Paul just smiled up at her.

"Yeah, I know that too" Paul said, not arrogantly, but kindly, which was unusual for Paul Lahote. He could see that her brain was trying to think as to why he was there so he decided to give her a hand. "Billy rang and asked if I could knock on my evening run to make sure you sure okay been as you were by yourself"

"Oh" was her only responses. She wasn't used to this. She loved that everyone in the tribe were kind and could ask for help when needed. It was always something she envied when she visited Billy over the years.

But she was so not used to something worrying or caring about her, and the fact that Billy had asked the boy to check in on her made her feel warm inside, like she was wanted and cared for, something she didn't have much experience with but had learnt to deal with over the years.

While she thought she had let go of the door with her right hand and brought it to hug the book in her arms closer to her chest. This movement brought the book to Paul's attention. He read the title and recognised it as one of the many books that had tales of the 'legends' (history) of the Quileute tribe.

"You reading up on our legends? Thought Billy said you knew them all already" He asked the first part but the second was meant to be in his head, not said out loud.

"I have" Chloe said back. "There was just something telling me to look back at them to make sense of something I'd seen earlier" she explained, a little embarrassed at not remembering something that may have been important to him and the tribe.

"You'd seen" this was where Paul started to get a bit aspersive. What had she seen? Had she seen him, Jared or Sam in the woods in the day? Had she figured out that the wolves were true? What if Billy was right and she figured out that he had imprinted? So many questions were going round his head that he almost missed what she said next.

"Yeah, I was visiting a friend, and her sister is going out with someone that made my brain think about her Quileute tribe legends, but I don't know why" she explained. Paul tried to keep his cool.

"Oh, friend from the bonfire?"

"No, she couldn't make it too the bonfire, her dad was there though, Charlie Swan" Chloe cleared up. That's when it all clicked into place. She was talking about the Leech that's going out with the Leech Lover, Charlie's oldest. That meant that she was friends with the youngest Swan. What was her name, Sarah, carina, something a.

"Yeah, I know him, Chief of police in Forks, grew up as almost part of the tribe because he got a relation in one of the older families" He said. Trying to keep the conversation going as long as he could. "His house is right along the boarded of the tribe's land but the street is classed as Forks"

"Well my friend is Sabrina Swan, his youngest daughter" she continued to explain.

'That's what her name is, got to remember that' Paul thought as Chloe said Sabrina's name to him.

"But her older sister, Bella's, new boyfriend, Edwards Cullen" Paul had to resist giving a snarl at the Leech's name. "Somehow the way he looks and acts just remind me of something I've read in the legend books that Billy sent me when I lived in England, I just don't really remember what it is I'm looking for in the book" she said, a light blush on her cheeks. "It's silly really, their just legends"

"Not True" Paul said without realising that he said it before too late. Chloe raised an eyebrow at him 'Crap, think Lahote, Think!' "I mean…don't people say that…that there is always some truth behind, you know, Legends, Myths, fairy tales and all that shit?" he said more as a question then a defence. Chloe thought a moment over what he said.

"I suppose that is true" she said with a thoughtful expression on her face. "But then, what is it we are meant to believe is true in the legend and how are we meant to know which part is just there to make it a good story?" she questioned further. Trying to see how far she could go before he became uninterested.

Not because she didn't want him interested but so she knew for the future how far she could go before he was bored. Though she had no idea why she was doing it. But to her it just felt like a good thing to do.

"Maybe they put it that way to protect people as well as so only the ones that want or need to know the answer will find the truth" Paul deducted. Enjoying the discussion. Believe it or not, Paul Lahote was one of the top students in most of his classes. Well the ones he turned up to anyway.

His best grades were in his wood-work class and he actually turned up to all of them. He knew that it was going to come in handy as he promised Billy he would Court his imprint the traditional ways of the tribe. Of course he now had turned up to ALL his classes at school at least four days a week unless having a good reason because of Sam's Alpha Order to. Which didn't seem so bad now that he had a reason to go in. Her.

Billy had told them she was entering the Rez School and that by the end of the summer, if she hadn't worked it out, two weeks before the school term started Billy would give Paul permission be allowed to tell her everything.

Of course Billy and the elders highly doubted that she wouldn't work it out by the first months, or maybe even a week after meeting the pack at the bonfire. And now that she had met one of the Cullens it was merely likely that she would work it out in only a couple of days. Course the imprinting was another thing entirely.

"I suppose there is that" Chloe concluded and decided not to take the subject further. It was only then that she realised that they were still standing at the door and that she had not invited him in and offered him a drink. After all he did say that he was on his evening run.

"Would you like to come in? I could make us some drinks if you would like?" she offered him politely it only made Paul smirk as it was obvious by her slight blush that she had only just realised that they were still in the doorway to the Black's house.

"Nah, Billy just asked me to check on you, I should be getting back" he said calmly. Yeah it would have been nice to stay with her a bit. But at the same time he didn't really trust himself around her just yet. He was a new wolf and he had just imprinted on the girl the day before.

It was quite funny really. The elders told Sam that Imprinting was very rare and yet all three boys in the pack had imprinted. Must have been something in the water that wasn't there when the last generation of wolves were roaming the forests, he thought to himself with a smirk.

"Oh" Chloe said a little disappointed. Not depressed about it, just disappointed that he was going and she would have to try and figure out what her brain was telling her, by herself.

"Ok, well I'll tell Billy you popped in for him, he'll denied it was him that sent you but I know the truth" she said with a joking smile and amused look in her eyes, which Paul just returned with a smirk and happy look in his eyes.

"Well, I'll see you around Chloe Parks" and with that he turned his back to her and started to jog away up the dirt road. Chloe watched as he went for a moment before she realised what she was doing, shook her head and stepped in the house and closed the door before heading back to her room to continue her reading.
