So I'm super sorry my posting has been slack as of late. As if my guy problems weren't enough, my best friend and I got in a SUPER huge fight about one of said guys. It was NOT pretty, but it's all okay now. Anyway, that's taken up most of my week but now I'm back with another chapter!! Hope you guys enjoy it, but first...review responses!!!!!!
danie568- Yeah, watching the figure skating on tv is definitely making me think of this story too haha. I've written almost all of it but when I watch the figure skating, I keep thinking "Ohhh, maybe I should do that music" or "Oh I really like her outfit! I bet Natasha would look good in that!" haha
eeyore-ft-tigger- Wow. Don't worry, that won't happen haha.
Musik Drache-Guy drama sucks. Especially when the three guys are all in the same fraternity, so they all keep talking about you and then you get all paranoid. Oh, AND everyone in the fraternity knows who you are because of all the talk, and every time you go over there the other guys all kinda just smirk at each other and it REALLY makes you paranoid!
Sammybaby0809- I'm glad I could change your mind haha. This story was really fun to write, although I probably shouldn't have written it. I put so much important stuff on the backburner for this hahahahahaha. Oh well!
sianybox- Thanks. That part will be coming up soon, don't worry! And technically, isn't he doing security on the Res?
Skyler1510, Kishasho123, EvenstarSinger, and Funkysam94- Thanks so much for reviewing!!!!
PAUL:
Paul's cell phone rang just as he turned onto the road leading to his house. Carefully pulling it out of his pocket, he juggled it between his hands and the steering wheel.
"Yeah?" he asked as he turned the radio down. It was Jacob.
"Seth came across a fresh trail heading south so Sam took Embry, Leah, Seth, Brady, and Collin down to track it. You and I are off the hook tonight," Jacob said and Paul nearly jumped for joy.
"Seriously?" he double checked and Jacob made a noise of confirmation.
"Yep, so you can go back to Natasha," he laughed and Paul frowned.
"I'm not with Natasha," he said and Jacob sighed.
"But I know you were most likely just with her and you probably left early for patrol right?"
"Yeah..." Paul said slowly and Jacob laughed again.
"So go back. You don't have to do duty for the next twelve hours at least," he told Paul before hanging up the phone. Paul frowned before flipping his phone shut and looking for the nearest driveway to turn around in. Jacob was always slightly awkward on the phone. It made Paul dread phone calls from him; however this was one phone call he'd love to get from anybody.
Just as he was about to turn his truck around, he stopped and put on the brake.
If he turned around and drove back to Natasha's house, he could probably only stay for another hour at the most. If he drove his car home and then phased to run back, he could potentially climb through her window and be able to spend the whole night with her.
Opting for the second choice, he took his foot off the break and continued on his drive home, speeding a little in his eagerness to get back to Natasha.
When he got to his house, he ran inside to grab his sweatpants and brush his teeth before heading outside to phase. Stopping to strip off his clothes, he tied his sweatpants to his leg before phasing into his wolf form. Letting lose a deep, long howl, he took off in the direction of Quillayute and Natasha.
After the ten minute run he found himself standing on all fours in her backyard. Looking up to her window, he saw that her bedroom light was on. He was even sure he saw her shadow moving around.
Phasing back to his human form while making sure he stayed hidden in the trees, he put on his sweatpants before pulling out his cell phone.
'open your window'
He sent the text and then stood there in the trees, waiting to see whether she obliged or responded to his text. They both happened simultaneously. As he watched her open her window, his phone buzzed in his hand.
'why? where are you?'
He grinned before typing a quick response.
'below your window. I'm coming up'
Putting his phone back in his pocket, he didn't even wait for a response from her before he walked into her yard and visually measured the distance from the ground to her window. Luckily the roof over the kitchen was only one story high. Winding himself up, he easily pounced up onto the first roof, making absolutely no noise as he landed.
"Paul!" came the harsh whisper of Natasha. Paul looked up to see Natasha leaning out her window. "What are you doing? You're going to get yourself killed!" she said, never raising her voice above a whisper.
"No I won't," he told her as he checked the distance again. "Now watch out, I'm coming in."
"Paul," Natasha said again but it was more of a plea than a demand. Ignoring her, he took a running step and leaped into the air, slipping right through her window to land with a very soft thud on her carpet. "Paul!" she whispered harshly, then frowned when she realized he had made no noise that would make her parents suspicious.
"Natasha," he whispered back in a mocking tone as he turned to shut the window behind him.
"What are you doing?" she asked him while crossing her arms. "If my parents find you in here they'll kill both of us." He turned to her.
"Does your door have a lock?" he asked and she nodded. "Just lock it. As soon as they attempt to open it, I'm gone." She didn't look convinced. "Baby, my wolf reflexes will have me out the window before they finish turning the doorknob," he stated before sticking his bottom lip out in a pout. "Please?" She sighed.
"Fine, but if anything happens, I'm killing you," she said as she walked into the bathroom. "Oh and no sex. My whole family's right down the hall," she reminded him before shutting the door behind her.
While she was gone, Paul took his phone out of his pocket and set it on her bedside stand before sitting down on her bed. It was a twin and he grinned as he imagined what they would look like trying to share it.
After looking at the bed for a minute, he turned his head and took in her room. It was very girly, the walls painted pink and the carpet a soft cream. All along the top of her dresser were pink, silver, and blue picture frames filled with different photos. Natasha with her neck draped in medals. A very young Natasha with two other girls, all three in their skating costumes with huge grins on their faces.
"My two best friends at the old rink back home," Natasha's voice came from across the room and Paul jumped. He hadn't even heard her open the door. "Lizzy and Ann. The three of us were inseparable all through lessons. We skated against each other in singles up until I left. We had so much fun competing against each other," she said as she came over to sit next to him.
"What are they doing now?" Paul asked and Natasha shrugged.
"Not sure. I hear from Lizzy occasionally. I know they're both still doing singles but I don't know anything else," she said with a shrug and Paul turned to look at her.
"You miss them," he said and she nodded.
"I miss having friends. Now when I compete, it's all about the competition. Besides Chris, I'm not on friendly terms with anyone at the events."
"You have me and the guys," Paul reminded her. "And Kim." She grinned.
"That's true..." she said as her grin widened."I do have Kim." Paul rolled his eyes before grabbing her and pulling her down to lay beside him.
"I like your pajamas," he told her as he stroked her side. She blushed as she looked down subconsciously. She was wearing a pair of short white shorts with little red hearts on them and a red tank top. "Much better than my clothes," he said with a deep chuckle. Natasha shrugged.
"I don't know. There was something about wearing your clothes that made sleeping more fun," she said with a smile before leaning in for a kiss.
"Mhm," he said against her mouth before wrapping his arms around her and pulling her in deeper to him.
Paul woke to the sun peeking through Natasha's curtains. Yawning, he glanced down and smiled. Natasha was sprawled across his stomach, her head resting on his chest and her arm draped over his side. He glanced over at the clock and saw that it was almost 7:45. Sure enough, not even a minute later, Natasha's clock switched to 7:45 and the alarm began to go off. With a sigh, Natasha rolled off of him and sat up, yawning.
"Morning," he told her with a smile as her eyes adjusted to the sunlight.
"Good morning," she said sleepily as she turned off her alarm and climbed over Paul to get out of bed. "How did you sleep?" she asked as she walked over to check herself in her mirror.
"Okay, my legs are a little sore from the small bed but being with you definitely made it better," he said with a grin and she blushed. "You have practice at nine?" She nodded. "Then I'll get out of your way," he told her as he stood up and went over to the window.
"Don't go," Natasha said with a sad frown and Paul laughed, walking forward to ruffle her hair and pull her into a hug.
"I'll see you later tonight. What do you want to do?" he asked and she thought for a second before responding.
"Movie night. We can do it here. You bring the pizza and I'll supply the movie," she smiled up at him and he grinned before kissing her on the top of the head.
"Sounds good. Now go get ready. Don't want to be late to practice," he turned her around and slapped her behind lightly to send her on her way to the bathroom. She turned to frown at him but he just laughed again and turned to open the window.
"Love you," Natasha said and Paul turned to her after climbing on to the roof.
"Love you too," he said before disappearing out the window. Landing on the ground, he jogged into the woods before taking off his sweatpants and phasing. Then he took off for home, wondering how long it would be before Sam called a meeting to update everyone on the bloodsucker.
Paul wasn't surprised that his cell phone had two missed calls from Sam by the time he got home and phased. Going inside, he put his cell on speaker phone before going to the fridge to grab something to eat.
"Paul we're having a meeting at my house at nine. There's something different about this vampire and so the Cullens are coming too. This is me telling you now not to be stupid. Don't get angry, and don't make us lose this agreement we have. See you at nine."
With a sigh, Paul set down his plate stacked with frozen waffles and put two in the toaster before deleting Sam's message. Sending a text so Sam would know he was coming, he went into the living room to turn on the TV before coming back in to take the two ready waffles out and put two more in. When they were all done, he stacked them all on a plate, covered them in butter and syrup, and headed in to watch TV. He had almost an hour before he had to be at Sam's. He had plenty of time to relax.
After finishing breakfast Paul went to the bathroom to wash up a bit. Then he grabbed a clean pair of shorts to slip on before glancing at the clock. He had ten minutes to get to Sam's. He could sit around for a little longer and then phase and run over there, or he could leave now and drive. He chose the drive option. This way he wouldn't have to phase in the woods and change into his shorts. Overall it seemed easier, and Paul was feeling extra lazy this morning.
Upon arriving at Sam's house, he parked his car behind the sleek black Mercedes. In front of the Mercedes was a large silver jeep. Making his way past the unfamiliar vehicles and inside, he came to a stop just inside the door and inwardly winced at the smell.
Sitting around the kitchen table were Quil, Embry, Collin, Brady, and Seth. Leah was sitting on the counter and Jacob was leaning against the fridge. Sam stood in the middle of the room, facing five of the Cullens: Edward, Bella, Carlisle, Alice, and Emmett.
"About time," Quil said when he noticed Paul walk in. He glanced at the clock above Emily's oven. 9:02.
"Seriously?" he asked Quil with an annoyed tone before sitting down and grabbing a muffin off of the large platter. "So what's the scoop?" The other werewolves glared at him. "What?" he asked under his breath as he took a bite of the muffin.
"As we were saying," Sam said as he turned back to Carlisle. "The trail this vampire is leaving is unusual. She just seems to be wandering around. She doesn't necessarily seem to be looking for something..."
"And she hasn't been killing either," Jacob added and Paul looked around as a couple of the others nodded. "There haven't been any deaths in the area that look to be from vampires." Sam nodded.
"At least no known deaths, but it is suspicious," he turned back to the Cullens and Carlisle frowned in thought before speaking.
"That is peculiar, although it may make more sense after we hear what Alice has to say," he turned to Alice and motioned for her to speak.
Paul never really cared for Alice much. He didn't like the fact that her whole family seemed to rely on her for everything. Sure it came in handy that she could see the future, but it still annoyed him. He mostly didn't like her however, because she didn't care for them either. She didn't like them because she couldn't see them, making it hard for her to tell the future. He did like the fact that the pack annoyed her though. It gave him a sense of accomplishment.
"Well," Alice said as she took a step forward. "I haven't been able to see a lot, but when she crosses your territory and into Forks I've been able to see a little of what she's doing. She's looking for a place to settle." Her comment caught everyone by surprise. Everyone except the Cullens but she had probably told them beforehand. "She hasn't approached us because she knows of our lifestyle. Instead she's taking the fact that we don't kill humans happily because she feels that it will be easier for them to find humans to kill here."
"As if," Seth said quietly and Collin and Brady high fived him. Sam shot them a look and they shut up.
"Doesn't she know about us?" Sam asked and Alice nodded.
"She figured it out the first time she ran into you. She's trying to find a place to settle in Forks but she's nervous that if she settles too close to us we'll confront her..."
"Which is true," Carlisle said and Paul watched as Emmett cracked his knuckles. He felt that Emmett was the closest to him. No nonsense, ready to fight for anything, and tough. If he were stupid enough to be actual friends with a vampire, he knew Emmett would be most likely to play the role.
"Yes but she knows that so she won't settle in Forks," Alice said before closing her eyes and concentrating.
"If she picks someplace nearby that's not Forks, would you be willing to help us get her to leave if needed?" Edward asked and Sam nodded. "We want to ask her to leave politely first but if she refuses, we may need help."
"If it came to that, we would be more than willing to do our part," Sam stated and then everyone quieted as they turned back to watch Alice. After a few minutes she opened her eyes again.
"She'll go to Canada," she said calmly and everyone in the room visibly relaxed. "She'll stay in Vancouver while she waits for her mate and then they'll head North-East a little more until they get to Calgary." Paul frowned and began to shake, clenching his fists.
"Vancouver?" he asked and everyone looked at him. "When will they be in Vancouver?" Alice closed her eyes again for only a few seconds.
"They'll give up sometime tomorrow morning and head north then. They'll arrive in Vancouver late tomorrow night." Paul shook harder and the rest of the pack immediately looked alarmed.
"Paul!" Sam shouted. "What's wrong? Calm down." The last part Sam said in his commanding Alpha voice and Paul's shaking immediately calmed.
"Natasha's heading to Vancouver Wednesday. I'm going with her to watch her compete," he explained and Sam sighed.
"Are you sure you both have to go?" he asked and Paul nodded.
"Natasha's been looking forward to this competition for weeks. She's not about to just drop out-" Paul started but Jacob cut him off.
"Not even under threat of death? If the vampire gets wind that a werewolf's imprint is in the area-"
"I'm not letting her go alone. I won't let her out of my sight if that's what it takes," Paul took over the conversation again and Jacob stopped talking, shutting his mouth with a scowl.
"Well who wants to go with Paul?" Sam asked and Paul turned to glare at him. "Given past occurrences, I am not allowing you to go by yourself without at least two members of the pack with you," Sam told him and Paul rolled his eyes but accepted the facts.
"I'll go," Jacob said, raising his hand.
"Me too," Jared put in and Embry nodded with a smirk.
"No way am I missing this," he said and Paul rolled his eyes again as Sam nodded.
"Then it's settled. Paul, Jacob, Jared, and Embry will head up to Vancouver on Wednesday. Try not to confront the vampire unless she starts it," Jacob nodded as Embry groaned.
"Why not?" he asked in a disappointed tone and Sam frowned.
"Because Vancouver is not our land. You will do as you're told," Sam added in his Alpha voice and they guys nodded, knowing there was no way they could disobey now.
"Well, if that's settled we'll be heading out," Carlisle said. "If you find anything new, let us know. Likewise, we'll keep you updated if the vampire changes her mind in any way." Sam nodded as he walked forward to shake Carlisle's hand.
"Thank you," he said before the Cullens turned and left the house, walking back to the car. When they were gone, Sam turned back to his pack.
"Paul, you need to explain everything to Natasha as soon as you're able to," he said and Paul nodded.
"She has practice until four but we're planning on hanging out after that. I'll tell her everything then."
"Good. Seth, Collin, and Brady I want the three of you doing continuous patrols around the area. We know this vampire plans to leave tomorrow but until then I want constant surveillance in case she changes her mind and Alice can't see it coming. Leah and Embry I want you two to take turns phasing and staying nearby so if something happens those three can tell you and you can call me. Jacob, Jared, and Paul you three have off until you leave for Vancouver unless something goes wrong. Keep your phones nearby in case that happens."
"Sounds good," Jacob said as everyone stood up. The meeting was unofficially over but most of the pack usually stayed to eat the rest of the food. With too much on his mind to care about eating, Paul stood up and stormed out of the house. As his anger over the situation built, he knew it was only a matter of time before he phased.
Bum bum BUM...So the vampire's going to Vancouver...and Natasha and Paul are going to Vancouver...What do you think's gonna happen!? Review and tell me!! I want to see how many people guess it right!!!!
