I own nothing it all belongs to Stephenie Meyer. All I own is the plot and Kim's family and probably any other character that you don't know unfortunately that means Tommy and Kim's mother.

A/N Not as long as the chapters before but it was the hardest to write. The plot is quickly thickening and moving. THANK YOU to everyone that has reviewed or added me to favourites or alerts it means a lot and makes me write quicker.

Read and enjoy.

Kim is answered

The walk to the beach was dark only lit by the slithers of moon light that escaped through the blanket of clouds, but Jared walked with ease. His hand tight and tense around mine his eyes dark and flat. My heart was fluttering nervously and the mutant butterflies from my first day at La Push High had returned. The sea glittered making gentle lapping noises that would have calmed me if it wasn't for Jared.

"Kim" He pulls me to sit on some drift wood then sat down next to me only to get back up and start to pace. His shoulder was covered in dry blood the wound no longer open. Jared turns to look at me the motion unnaturally quick, I start to feel scared. Jared sits down on a log next to mine but keeps a distance.

"Kim" he repeats.

"Jared, please tell me" My voice was low and shook slightly "you're starting to scare me" I admit. Jared barks out a laugh.

"I'm about to scare you a whole lot more" His flat eyes lock on mine. I stare back. What was he going to tell me?

"Kim, you…I…this is hard to say"

"You can tell me, I" I can't believe I was about to say this "love you, nothing will change that" I said it as a whisper my voice soft. Jared's eyes start to sparkle once again. But his face remains tense. I hope I didn't say it to soon.

"I'm" He swallows then moves in another unnaturally fast movement so he was next to me. His body heat embracing me as he gently cups my face and presses his lips to mine. It was soft and gentle and loving. He pulls away too soon but I was still breathless. "Kim, what I'm about to tell you will sound crazy but you have to believe me I'm not crazy" I smile slightly at his choice of words. "You have to listen to me before you run"

"I won't run"

"I hope you won't, I can prove everything to you" I smile encouragement while my heart beat faster. My breathing laboured. "Do you know the stories of our tribe" I nod, we may have lived away from La Push for nearly my whole life but our family home was always here so the stories were well known to me. I liked them. "The one of shape shifting" I smile nervously not knowing where Jared was going with this.

"Yeah it's my favourite" It was, I loved the magical element. Even through every time I heard it my heart would swell with sadness over the deaths.

"You know it well then"

"Yes" Jared nods.

"Well…" he swallows nervously his eyes locking with mine and then it clicked. The pieces linked together. But it couldn't be. I expel my breath in a whoosh.

"i-i-i-it's t-t-t-t-true" I stutter. Jared stiffens his eyes instantly shocked then guarded. He was waiting I was waiting. I must sound mad it couldn't be true. I couldn't hear the waves only my heart and blood rushing.

"It's true" Jared say's moving away from me my hand shoots out to grab his.

"Why are you moving?" I ask not looking away from his eyes. They were black again shining with emotions I couldn't even start to decipher.

"I just told you that I change into a wolf" Jared says.

"Yes" I say breathlessly tightening my hand "Then don't leave me tell me about it"

"You want to know about it? You're not scared, shocked, you believe me?"

"I'm scared" I answer truthfully "I'm shocked and I believe you but I knew something was up but this…" I trail off not knowing what I needed to tell Jared "Tell me about it"

"It's well different" Jared says quietly his hand moving to take mine. I squeeze it. "When I first changed it was over something so stupid, Paul and I had a bet and I lost and we ended up arguing I don't know why and then I just got so angry. I started to shake then I was running outside to clear my head where I just burst out of my skin into a wolf. It hurt and I was so scared but there was a voice. It was Sam he told me to calm down, that it was ok." Jared smiles now "I had just gotten calm enough to listen to Sam when another voice joined us, swearing and shouting, I recognised it instantly as Paul. Now I had to wait again as Sam attempted to calm Paul down. He has the worst temper of us all" Jared had relaxed and I had to. But this was too much. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Thing's like this just don't happen.

"Does it still hurt?" I needed to hear everything I needed to understand.

"No but after it hurt so badly. That was why I missed school, because I was getting control over myself, I stayed as a wolf for twenty four hours. My mum was worried sick when I came back in just a pair of cut offs"

"Does she not know?"

"No I can't tell her"

"But you can tell me?" Jared had been looking out to see but looks to me now his eyes held an emotion that warmed me to the core.

"That's because you special"

"Special" I repeat.

"Yes, I imprinted on you"

"Imprinted?" I ask bewildered I had never heard of this.

"Imprinting is when a werewolf" It felt weird to hear Jared say that but I was slowly absorbing it all. Why wasn't I running screaming that my boyfriend was crazy? Because I felt safe and it added up. The heat, the supposed gang that were protectors, the weirdness and secrets that surrounded Jared.

"Find's his soul mate, we just look at them and suddenly we're… it's hard to explain, it's like that one person holds you to the earth, that they are the only one that matters. You'll do anything for them."

"I'm your imprint?"

"Yes" Jared looks warily at me as I just stare at him. My brain had stopped working completely.

"But you saw me a year ago?"

"I hadn't phased, it's after we phase and I can't say sorry enough about ignoring you for a year after I showed you to English" He remember showing me to English!

"So…" I don't know what to say.

"Kim" He squeezes my hand "I love you" He loved me!

"Is it because of the imprinting?" I had to ask but I didn't care if it was or not because I was selfish enough to want his love more than anything. I didn't care how I got him. But he had said soul mate which meant he couldn't be that forced into it. Could he?

"No!" Jared says quickly "Imprinting is just a push in the right direction. I didn't love you" My eyes widen "that came out wrong, when I first saw you in History my world stopped. All I wanted to do was protect you make you smile know everything about you. Kiss you" He smiles slightly at my blush "but I didn't love you I cared but the more I got to know you the more I grew to love you. I'm sure I loved you just because of the imprinting but it wasn't love like I feel now. I'm making a mess of this" Jared grumbles. "What I'm trying to say is that it wasn't till today when you told me it was ok not to tell you, that I realised. That I love you more than anything in the world and it has nothing to do with imprinting it has everything to do with you. How wonderful, beautiful and amazing you are"

"Jared" I breathe. I felt tears in my eyes. It was all so much. But I felt complete. Jared loved me because of this magical imprinting which gave him to me but also because of me. "I-" I can't think of another thing to say so instead I throw my arms around him. Hugging him close, breathing in his scent. His warm arms tighten around me as he buries his face into my neck. His breath tickles and I shiver. Jared holds me closer.

"So you're not running?" Jared draws back to look at me but mere millimetres separated us.

"I'm not running, I-I-I n-never will" with that Jared crushes his lips to mine. Our kiss was full of love and promises. I knew now that nothing would ever keep us apart. His hands were hot on my back and waist. Mine were buried in his hair. When he pulled away both breathless he smiles. A bright smile that makes my stomach flutter.

"So tell me more" I smile back at him.

Jared's P.O.V

"So tell me more" She smiles at me. Smiles! I blink. I couldn't believe it I was ready to watch her run away from me but instead she kept me from running. When I had told her it was true, actually confirming her. How did she guess? I felt like running. I was scared of her reaction part of me wanted to just find out while a bigger part of me had never wanted to know to just go back to when she didn't know. I had been slightly thankful of Embry phasing and being unable to calm down, since then I hadn't had to tell Kim. But keeping anything from her hurt.

"Well we're really hot" Telling her everything relaxed me and felt right.

"I know" Kim moves so my arms were wrapped around her and snuggles into my chest.

"In more ways than one" I tease.

"I know that too" Kim says backs and I choke on a laugh, she just kept surprising me. I look down to see her blushing.

"We eat a lot, we can hear each others thoughts when in wolf form" Kim stiffens,

"What? Oh" She seems to answer her own question "that's why Sam knew who I was, and why you said you looked terrible not Sam said you looked terrible. I thought it was just a slip of the tongue"

"Yeah"

"What do you think about?" Kim seems hesitant.

"Erm you" I answer truthfully.

"WHAT!" Kim suddenly sits up. I was waiting for her to react like this at some point all the major things she had taken in her stride but something like this was small in comparison.

"What?" I ask back not sure what to say and distracted by the amber flecks now decorating her eyes.

"That mean's everyone will know about us"

"Well only if I think about it I didn't mention the run or anything I sang silly Christmas songs"

"Oh" Kim sighs settling back down next to me. I smile.

"You really are something special" I whisper to her listening as her heart beats a little quicker and her breath hitches. I loved the way she reacted to me. I loved everything about her and I wasn't lying when I told her I only loved her this morning. Truly loved her for who she is.

"You have to say that I'm your imprint"

"True" I tease back "but no really you are" I add more seriously.

"You too" I hold her a little closer and look down at her, she was looking out to sea her eyes slightly troubled. I couldn't believe her mother could do that, when Kim told me that she had approved of me. I would ask Kim about it later but not now, not when everything was perfect. Her mother would have to calm down at some point, we couldn't sneak around forever. Well we only had to wait two years till she was an adult but two years was a long time. I feel a small warm hand on my cheek. I blink focusing on Kim.

"What are you thinking about?"

"How we're going to see each other" Kim's expression darkens.

"School, after school we'll find away. She can't keep me away from you" Kim's eyes light up again as she speaks fiercely. She was so beautiful. She was more confident than when I first saw her, I liked to think I helped but I knew that most of it was that she finally had enough with being ignored. I lean down and brush my lips against hers I meant it to be a quick kiss but the second our lips touched it turned. Deep and desperate both of us realising that tonight would be the only time when we wouldn't have to worry about her parents finding or seeing us.

I gently lower Kim onto the sofa. She had fallen asleep in my arms the feeling was amazing. We had talked about everything, now it seemed she knows more about being a werewolf than me.

"Jared" Sam came out of the shadows. He looks to the sleeping Kim. She looked so peaceful.

"Sam" I had been so angry at Sam keeping Kim from me but I understood, the pack had to come first. However much I hated that idea. Embry had gotten to close to the border, which is why I ended up injured I'd had to jump on him to stop him crossing it. Not that it mattered much with the Cullen's gone but still it was better to play it safe. Plus Embry was already angry enough smelling the Suckers scent could have sent him over the edge. Their stench still lingered.

"You're going to school tomorrow I take it?" I nod even though it was my turn to keep an eye out on Embry, but I knew Paul wouldn't mind and Sam would let me. "Keep an eye on Jacob, he's close to phasing" I nod "Do you think Kim could talk to him?"

"No!" I say quickly the thought I once had thought made me cold "I can't let her talk to him not with him close, what if she say's something to send him over the edge?"

"It's ok Jared it was just a thought" Sam understood the fear it made me feel. When I had first seen him and Emily together I either felt a little nauseated at the love they had for each other or that I was intruding on something very private.

"Thanks for earlier"

"I couldn't leave her out there, but your parents called they want to know why Kim's mother called round demanding her daughter back"

"Don't talk about that woman" I growl feeling myself shaking.

"Jared" Kim's sleep heavy voice has me turning to see her stretch her hand out to grasp mine. Her eyes were half closed and still in the land of nod "It'll be fine" I instantly stop shaking. As I grip her hand tighter.

"If only Paul found someone to calm him down, it'd save us some trouble" but I hardly heard Sam I was to busy looking at Kim. As she rolled over on the sofa pulling on my hand, I follow her down sitting on the edge. She pulls again but it was weak with sleep. I was tiered myself having not slept well last night. To nervous about telling Kim, reliving my biggest fear of her running away from me, calling me a monster. She tugs again and I give in squashing her in against the sofa at least she wouldn't fall off and hurt herself this way. Kim smiles softly then finally closes her eyes her breathing evening out. Soon my own eyes droop but I fight it wanting to watch Kim sleep just a little longer.

Kim's P.O.V

I woke boiling. I try to roll over but strong arms just tighten around me keeping me pressed against a hard hot chest. God I was hot! I groan as I open my eyes. To hear laughter and plates clinking.

"Paul!" I hear Emily scold. Wait Paul? Emily? My eyes snap open and I attempt to sit but as I do I push against those arms which tighten but I move again over balancing. I feel myself start to move.

"What?" Jared asks sleepily as we both slide of the couch landing with a loud thump. Laughter bursts out of the kitchen. As Jared sits up instantly his eyes running over me.

"Kim are you ok? What happened?"

"We fell of the couch" I answer blushing "I'm fine I landed on you, are you ok?"

"Werewolf" Jared answers smirking I roll my eyes feeling lighter than I should. I had to go home and face her. I didn't know what to expect. Jared looks at me before pulling me up into a hug and kissing my head.

"Eat first" I nod and we enter the small bright kitchen. It was raining no surprise there. Paul and Embry sat round the small table eating muffins, eggs and bacon.

"Jared, Kim Morning help yourself" The table was nearly braking it had so much food piled on it. My stomach rumbles loudly I blush knowing everyone could hear. Jared pushes me forward and hands me a plate. Once I had a full plate introduction started.

"So you know Paul and Embry" I nod Embry gives me a big grin not just a 'hey' this time. Paul nods to busy scowling and eating. "And you've met Emily" I smile at her "and this is Sam, you've met him to but I guess you haven't spoken"

"No" I blush. Remembering how he found me.

"Nice to meet you Kim"

"You too thank you again for last night"

"No problem" Sam was huge the biggest of all the boy's in the kitchen. Oh great my list of boy's have grown. Now there were six. Jacob and Quil. Jacob growing, his heat?

"Is Jacob a werewolf?" I ask. Embry drops his muffin his fist starting to shake slightly. "Sorry" I whisper I didn't realise it was a touchy subject.

"No but he's close" Sam answer giving a pointed looked at Embry, "But you can't say anything, just be careful around him"

"He thinks you're in a gang"

"I know" Embry says darkly "they think I've joined don't they?" I don't have a chance to answer not that he wanted one "I hate not being able to tell them"

"You know it's for the best" Sam says.

"Yeah" After that everyone continued to eat and soon laugh. Food being thrown. I end up laughing as well but soon it was time to face the music. I quickly change back to my now stiff clothes from yesterday, thank Emily and Sam for their hospitality and tell the boy's I would see them soon. The Jared and I were walking back home. We stop a few houses away.

"If you need me or anything go to Sam and Emily's and I'll come" Jared looks me intently in the eyes. His brown melted chocolate and I feel my stomach flip. I nod.

"See you at school" I would miss him picking me up, it was back to the bus.

"See you" I stand on my tip toes and Jared bends down. We meet in the middle in a kiss of sadness. Nothing of the kisses of last night. With that I hug him quickly before walking slowly back to my house. I can feel Jared watching me the whole time. My stomach twist and clenches the whole way. My brain running through what I could expect. I open the door with the keys I luckily had with me and step in. The house was quiet but I knew everyone was still here. I swallow take off my boots, to just do something to waste time and also to stop me running again.

"Kim" Her voice calls coldly from the kitchen. I don't answer but walk slowly. Once I step in everyone eyes were on me. Katie looked at me with the usual indifference, Hannah looked like she didn't know what to think while Kellan looked thoughtful and slightly saddened.

"Where were you last night? I know you were with that boy but his parents didn't know, I suspect they weren't covering for you"

"At the beach" I answer truthfully but I wouldn't tell her about Sam and Emily.

"All night?"

"Yes" She looked angry. Well she better not have thought I would come back crying and grovelling for forgiveness. And I might have done before but then before I would never have done anything like this.

"Go and shower then go to bed I will speak to you later"

"What about school?" I ask my voice slightly desperate.
"You think I would let you go and see him? No I'm pulling you out today and you will attend school at Forks for today you will stay home"

"No" I whisper.

"Yes and not arguing now go to bed I will be up to talk to you after I phoned the school" I just stare at her.

"NOW KIM!" I turn angrily and run up the stairs. She was mad! She was, I never thought she would ever stoop this low but it just shows how wrong I could be. I lie on my bed not bothering to change. I listen as she talks to the school. She was actually doing it. One way of seeing Jared gone. I feel my heart beat painfully in my chest and my eyes sting with unshed tears. Why was she doing this? My phone vibrates. I check it I had eleven missed calls from Caleb. I end the call. I couldn't speak to him right now.

"Kim" She knocks on the door and enters. Wearing black how fitting it matched her heart. "It's done you start at Fork's high Monday you will stay home for the rest of the week"

"Why are you doing this?" I ask hearing my voice crack. "Why now after all these years do you notice me?"

"Kim stop being so dramatic, I've never ignored you" I find my hand reaching for my bedside cabinet where I pull open the draw reaching for a piece of paper. I show her it.

Out with a friend, be back late. Have mobile if you need me.

Kim

Three pepperoni

Three veggie,

Two Hawaiian

One margarita

Garlic bread

Three cokes.

"You wrote this on later, this is why I'm doing this. He is a bad example for you. In a gang did you really think I wouldn't find out about that? Steroids? Kim what were you thinking? The bad boy is never a good choice, he maybe exciting but they are bad news. After only one thing and then they break your heart. Talking about what they want did you…"

"No"

"You're lying" I gasp. I answer truthfully but she didn't believe me.

"Your right Mother, I did have sex with Jared and now I'm pregnant" I say darkly. It was her turn to gasp this time. I don't know what was happening to me but I couldn't stop. I watch as she stands and leaves the room stiffly. As soon as I heard the TV turn on I collapse. Breathing hard. I needed to stop I was getting as bad as her. No I was being worse! I needed to calm down be myself. I needed to stop being a bitch and then maybe there would be a chance of going to La Push high instead of Fork's. Maybe I could see Jared again. With the magic if imprinting who knows.

I do, she'll give in when pig's fly.

A/N Not my best but hope you enjoyed.
