The first kiss. Every girl knows about it, hell during our whole childhood we are taught by all forms of media that the first kiss is one of the most important moments in our lives. And then we spend the rest of the time imagining our perfect first kiss scene, most are at a dance or at the end of the first date. For me I imagined my first kiss would be a secret one that was stolen when my parents weren't looking by the man I was courting and would soon marry. Well that was before I became a vampire of course, after I became a vampire I kind of gave up the idea of having a first kiss. Yet there I was, in the middle of a dark forest, being kissed by a werewolf!
When Embry's lips crashed onto mine I tried to push him back but he stayed right where he was, if anything he actually moved closer! And I didn't want to admit it but honestly I wanted him closer, I wanted him to keep kissing me. So after a couple of moments trying to fight him I couldn't do it anymore and I just allowed myself to just melt into the kiss.
I cannot describe to you in words how… how… how right it felt. It was like a puzzle, like my whole like had been one giant complicated jigsaw puzzle that was missing a piece, and then out of nowhere the piece is found and was now in place. I felt complete, and god I wanted to hate this feeling but I couldn't!
My mind was screaming at me to pull away but all my body did was pull him closer, my mind was yelling at me to stop the kiss but all my body did was kiss Embry back. My body was fight my mind at every turn and I couldn't do anything about it, and in the deep corners of my mind I knew that I didn't want to. So for a moment I decided to shut my mind off and let my instincts take over.
It was like ice landing on the pavement on a hot summer's day when my ice cold hands and arms made their way up his warm bare chest and then wrapped themselves around his neck, and pulled him closer to me. In response Embry wrapped one of his arms around my waist and then with his other hand he ran his fingers slowly through my hair and then firmly but also gently grabbed a fistful of my hair near my scalp and pressed his lips closer to mine.
He then nibbled on my bottom lip slightly trying to get me to open my mouth to deepen the kiss. That's when my brain woke up and I realized the situation I was now in and I started to panic, I quickly used my true strength and pushed Embry back. I then leaned up against the tree behind me trying to pull myself together and gather my thoughts, but the only thing that my mind was screaming at me was I just sucked face with a werewolf.
I just sucked face with a werewolf…
I just sucked face with a werewolf.
I just sucked face with a WEREWOLF!
"Oh my god!" I exclaimed and I quickly started to pace back and forth, feeling the panic and confusion running through my body like a raging river during a storm. "We just…" I stopped pacing and looked at Embry with wide eyes. He was now leaning up against a tree across from me with an amused look on his face, which only annoyed the hell out of me and I turned my whole body to face him and glared. "What the hell is that look for?!" I exclaimed angrily putting my hands on my hips, "Do you understand how serious this is? Because it's like really serious!" I yelled at him.
That when Embry just started to laugh and started to walk over to me, "Emery. Guess what?"
I groaned and threw my hands up in the air, "What Embry?" Seriously what was up with this guy?
Embry smirked when he was finally in front of me and then he leaned in towards my ear and whispered, "I was right." He then kissed my ear and then started to trail kisses down to the base of my neck, as I stood there in shock and also trying to not let myself become putty in his hands.
To my surprise when I was finally able to pull myself away from him, my body felt extremely reluctant to do so. "Embry stop! This is serious. I mean this." I said moving one of my hands back and forth in the space between us, "This cannot happen." I stated and forced myself to move farther away from him.
Embry's face became serious and he crossed his arms, "Why?" He asked, "Why can't this happen?" He then uncrossed his arms and reached out and took my tiny hand in his large one, "Emery I imprinted on you, and that's not something that happens all of the time." He said calmly and slowly took a step forward, "And the fact that you are a vampire… Well that makes it even more rare and amazing!"
I shook my head quickly and tried to pull my hand out of his grasp but he wouldn't let go, "That's just it Embry! You're a werewolf. I'm a vampire. This shouldn't happen, it can't happen!" I said as calmly as I could.
Embry shook his head and I could tell he was starting to get annoyed, "It has happened Emery! And it can happen!" He stated firmly. "You can't fight an imprint Emery! You just can't. I don't care that you are a vampire! Hell I liked you from the moment I met you in the garage, and I think that deep down I even felt the imprint coming to life even then." He said with a soft smile and he moved closer and then rested his forehead against mine.
His eyes made contact with mine and I practically melted at that moment, "Embry…" I said trying to think of something that would get me out of the situation but I couldn't come up with Embry. "Embry please." I said softly, "I'm so confused right now… And I can't handle this right now." I said and I felt tears starting to gather in my eyes.
Embry smiled sweetly and reached up and cupped the side of my face and gently ran his thumb up and down my cheek, "Yes you can Winnie." At that moment hearing him use my real name almost made my legs give out. "Winnie you created a whole new life for yourself and kept it a secret just so you could watch over your friend. You kept going even when you found Nona, and you can keep going now." He said gently but at the same time firmly. "I know that it's a lot to take in but you can do it. I'll help you. I promise." He said and then leaned in and placed a light kiss on my lips.
It didn't last long and when he pulled away he backed up slightly and took one of my hands in his large one and started to walk, pulling me with him, "Come on let's get back to the others."
I followed him silently trying to process everything he had said and when we finally reached the other I quickly pulled my hand out of his grasp and ran over to Nona who was waiting for me, Pippa and Thorin by her side. When I made it over to her I stood in front of her and sighed, "I'm going to need a lot of alcohol after all of this." I stated plainly and she started to laugh and pull me into a hug which I return.
"Come sit back down, there's still some more stuff to talk about and we've been waiting for you and lover boy here to get back." She said with a smirk when she pulled away and then motioned at Embry and me.
I rolled my eyes and shoved her playfully, I then felt a warm hand wrap around mine and I looked and saw that once again my hand was wrapped up tightly in Embry's. I looked up at him and saw him acting completely normal but then suddenly his face turned into hurt and he quickly pulled his hand away. I looked down and saw Thorin growling at Embry and I started to laugh. "Sorry Embry but if you want to get anywhere near me you're going to have to go through my body guard first." I then leaned down and wrapped my arms around my husky, "He's not used to sharing are you sweet boy?" I said playfully.
I then heard high pitched barks and I looked down and saw Pippa standing beside us, jumping up and down the best she could in the sand excitedly. I laughed even more and pulled away from Thorin to pick up the small puppy, "Awww Pippa doesn't like to share either do you baby?" I sad and cuddled the white puppy close to me.
Nona appeared beside me, "I meant to ask you about the little cotton ball. What you just got her today or something?" I nodded and smiled at the puppy.
"Yep! Her name is Pippa, and she is the sweetest little baby ever!" I said in a little baby voice which got Pippa even more excited.
"Well they better get used to sharing." Nona and I looked up and saw Embry smirking at me, "Because I'm not giving you up anytime soon." He said then leaned down and kissed the top of my head and then made his way over to where Jacob and the other pack members were waiting.
Nona started to laugh when she noticed that my hair started to turn into a bright pink color, "Awwww Emery you are so cute with your boyfriend!" She exclaimed with a smirk.
I shook my head, "I'm going to need a lot of alcohol tonight." I stated plainly and stood up and started to make my way back over to the bonfire with Nona and the dogs.
Victoria was back.
Correction Victoria has been back. In fact she had been back for about 4 or 5 months and no one told me! To say I was furious was a major understatement.
"You didn't think that it was any of my business!?" I exclaimed at the pack, mainly at Sam though who had told me that Victoria wasn't any of my business. "You have got to be kidding me! A human blood sucking vampire appears and you just think huh you think I should tell Emery? Nah it's none of her business!"
I was so angry that I could feel my skin start to match the bright red color of my hair. "Seriously! I mean what the hell were you thinking Sam? All this time I could have been helping you track down this bitch but no! Instead I'm at home playing beer pong with Nona!" I then turn to Nona and give her a forced smile, "Which is a lot of fun by the way. But I'm still angry at you too!"
Embry then stood up and started to walk over to me, "Emery you need to calm down." He said softly and reached out to take my hand but I instantly moved it out of his reach and glared at him.
"I need to calm down!? Are you serious!? Jesus Christ you guys are a bunch of idiots! I'm surprised that half the population isn't dead because of you dumbasses!" I exclaimed and that's when Paul jumped up and stormed over to me.
"You better watch your mouth leech!" He growled as Embry stood in-between us, "Maybe if you and the rest of your blood sucking family had ripped her a part in the first place we won't be having this problem now would we?"
I moved around Embry quickly and stood right in front of Paul, "Insult my family one more time Paul!" I yelled at him, "Do it I dare you! See what happens!" Paul then opened his mouth to speak but that's when Sam stormed over and pulled us a part. Pushing me to Embry and Paul towards the other wolves.
"Both of you shut up now!" He exclaimed in his alpha voice. Embry wrapped his arms around me and I started to calm down and listened to Sam. "I understand why you are upset Winnie. But now is not the time to take your anger out on people. Now is the time for us to figure out what we are going to do now that you know." He said firmly, "And fighting is not the way to get this done Paul." He said now turning to the hot headed member of the pack.
I sighed and nodded, "I'm sorry of losing my cool. But you should have told me." I stated and Sam nodded understandingly and I continued, "And you are right we have to come up with a plan now." I said as I went to sit back down next to Nona not knowing that I was pulling Embry with me.
Sam then moved to stand in front of the pack and I, "Since we know who she is after we now, we can set up a new perimeter that will include the Swan's house." He started to explain, "Like always we will do it in shifts, but the only difference is that instead of just two of us on patrol at one time there will be three, two will run the perimeter and the other with stand guard somewhere outside of Bella's house."
I then raised my hand to speak up, "Well now that Bella knows who I really am it will be no problem for me to stay over there at night, I can stand watch in her room." I said calmly, "And who knows maybe if some of my scent rubs off Victoria will know that at least one Cullen is back and will back off."
Embry shook his head, "No. You are not going to do that." He said firmly and looked down at me, "It is way too dangerous for you. And what if when she realizes that you are here she becomes smarter, coming out when we least expect her to, and attacking more people to throw us off her trail." He said to me and also to everyone else.
Jacob nodded, "I agree with Embry. If she knows that even one Cullen is back then she will start acting more careful, and will be harder to track."
I sighed knowing that they did have a point, "Well I still think that I should at least start spending nights over there." I said looking around at the group and noticed that some were hesitant to agree and I rolled my eyes, "Seriously!? I went through a complete personality and appearance makeover to protect this girl, so I think I can handle this." I stated crossing my arms.
I looked up at Sam who seemed to be thinking for a couple of moments and then nodded, "Okay you can stay there but you have to conceal every inch of vampire in you. We cannot risk Victoria knowing that you are here." He stated and I smiled proudly and nodded.
"I still say no." I turned and looked at Embry who was now glaring at Sam, "She is my imprint and I do not like the idea of her basically becoming bait for that red headed leech." He said angrily.
"Embry." I exclaimed firmly and he looked down at me, "I can handle myself." I stated and when he opened his mouth to speak I covered it with my hand, "I may be your imprint but you barely know me." And it was true, I barely considered this guy as an acquaintance and now all of the sudden he was acting like we had been together for years, "I understand you mean well but you need to slow down. I can handle this okay." I said with a small smile as I removed my hand from his mouth.
Embry looked down at me for a couple of moments and then turned to Sam, "I still don't like it." He said firmly and I threw my hands into the air and rolled my eyes. "But I'll agree only if she doesn't go there every night and also it has to be on nights that I'm on patrol." Okay so that wasn't so bad, but still this made me feel like I needed a babysitter, which of course I didn't!
After that the pack made their own little plans as I sat there in between Embry and Nona, running my fingers through Pippa's fur as she sat in my lap, and Thorin lay asleep at my feet. I sighed and looked around at the group, so much had happened that day and my mind was still trying to process it all.
Bella found out all of the secrets, I got imprinted on, I adopted a puppy, Embry kissed me and basically decided told me that we were now in a relationship, and now Victoria was back.
As all of these things went through my head my mind went back to Bella and I went wide eyed, "Shit!" I exclaimed and stood up, "I still have to talk to Bella!" That's when panic started to wash over me again and I started to make my way to my car.
"Embry followed close behind me, "Emery! That can wait until tomorrow, Bella isn't going anywhere." He said trying to calm me down but that only made me panic even more, because now that Victoria was back there was the chance that Bella could be in danger as we speak, and I voiced this to everyone. Embry went to speak but suddenly Nona appeared at my side and told him to shut up.
She then turned to me and place one hand on each of my shoulders, "Hey. Look at me." She said calmly and I looked up at her, "I'm going to ask you one question and you better answer it truthfully." I nodded and she continued, "Are you about to go to the dark and twisty place?" She asked seriously.
I sighed and nodded, "Yes I'm going to the dark and twisty place." Nona instantly pulled me into an embrace.
Nona pulled away after a couple of moments and turned to Embry who looked like he was about to lose his mind, "Lover boy, I'll take care of the Missus here and you make sure nothing happens to Bella." Embry looked like he was about to protest but before he could Nona continued talking, "Don't worry I'm going to fix her." She said and then took my head and led me to my car.
She ended up driving the dogs and I back to my house and when we got there we walked in and Nona told me to get into some comfy clothes and meet her out on the back porch. So about ten minutes later after I had changed into a pair of sweat pants a loose t-shirt I walked outside with Pippa in my arms and Thorin trailing behind me.
Nona was there sitting on one of the chair and holding a bottle of tequila, she turned and smiled at me and motioned for me to sit in the chair across from her and then handed me my own bottle of tequila. "Here's what's going to happen." She said as I sat down with my bottle, "We are going to spend the night on your porch drinking, bitching about life, and then maybe play a drinking game." She said with a smirk, "And by morning you will be out of your dark a twisty place." She then raised her bottle of alcohol, "Agreed?"
I smiled at her and opened my bottle and raised it, "Agreed."
