A/n: Hell yeah, so it's the weekend! Meaning lots of time to write. I'm thinking one chapter left of this story!

To address anyone's questions about what will happen to Spence and Lewis, they likely will not be coming to South America. They're both sixteen and have families, you see, so they're going to have to figure out where to go from here. I have a few ideas, though, so worry not my dear children. Love from Eli xx

Twenty Five - Confession

Renesmee POV

Harper and his crew were most certainly punished. Harper was suspended for a week, and his in-school internet access was taken away for the rest of the year. Jess was also suspended for a week, and her little friends were only suspended for two days.

They were told that if they made any attempt to contact us with anything other than an apology, they'd be expelled. The only thing that saved Harper from being expelled or criminally charged was the fact that his dad was a donor to the school.

We all re-focussed on the work. Sadly, the whole family besides Juliet, Carlisle, Esme and myself flew out to South America to start construction. They switched all their courses to online courses - with permission from the school after a lot of coaxing from Carlisle. Juliet and I hung out with Lewis most of the time.

"I can't believe you guys are leaving me in June," Lewis exclaimed. "Like, really?!"

"We're sorry," I sighed. "Hey, though, how's it going with Spencer?"

"He said he has something to tell me, but he wants to do it in person," Lewis grinned. "I think he's going to ask me out!"

"That's great, Lewis!" Juliet and I shared a look. So, it would happen soon, then.

"He's coming up for a week to visit his cousin Jake, but you already know that," Lewis said. Okay, well, only partially true. Jake was in South America.

"Yep, for sure," I nodded. Juliet took an overly casual sip from her water bottle.

"I hope that before you move, you tell me what your big secret is," Lewis scolded her. "Seriously, Julie. I know you've been hiding something from me for months."

"'Course, yeah," Juliet mumbled. "We will."

June was fast approaching. On the morning of Spencer's arrival, Juliet and I were both nervous. The only person who was more of a wreck was Spence.

"He's gonna hate me!" Spencer paced across the living room.

"He won't hate you," I half-heartedly reassured him. A knock came at the door.

"Oh, God," Spencer dove behind the couch. "I can't do this, tell him I died."

"Spencer," I chided while Juliet opened the door.

"Hey, guys," Lewis came inside. "Uh, Spencer, why are you on the floor?"

"Fell," he mumbled, getting up. "Lewis, can we talk?"

"Of course," Lewis said. Juliet and I looked at each other. It was time.

Spencer POV

My hands were clammy. I wiped them on my denim shorts as I led Lewis onto the back porch.

"What's up?" Lewis smiled, leaning against the white painted bannister. I swallowed as I looked at his adorable dimpled cheeks. This was killing me.

"I have to tell you something, and you're probably going to freak out or punch me, or run away, and I'll understand if you do," I swallowed hard. Lewis raised his eyebrows.

"You have a boyfriend already," he deadpanned. I widened my eyes.

"No!" I told him. "It's not that."

"Girlfriend?"

"I don't like girls."

"Fair enough."

"Okay, so here goes," I swallowed again. "Uh, okay, so where I come from, in Forks, the Quileute people have all these stories."

"Okay?"

"Yeah, and basically, a really long time ago, there were these warriors who had these spirit forms. One time, a spirit warrior asked a wolf if they could share a body. So they did, and then after that, all the spirit warriors could transform into wolves. They used their wolf forms to defend against our enemies," I stammered along the story.

"That's really cool," Lewis said, but I could tell he was confused.

"After that, all their descendants could do it. It was a gene, passed down from father to son. Well, it went dormant, 'cause we beat our enemies. One day, our natural enemies came back. They're these people called the Cold Ones. They drink blood and have red eyes," I told him.

"Vampires?" Lewis said. "There's vampires in your legends?"

"Yeah, vampires," I nodded. "Well, these vampires who came to Forks were different. They had eyes that weren't red. They told the spirit warriors that they fed off animal blood only. A treaty was signed - they were allowed to settle in Forks as long as they never entered La Push and never bit a human. So the wolf gene became active, and when young men reached a certain age, they would phase. Just in case, you know."

"Right," Lewis seemed wary now. He didn't want to disrespect my culture, obviously, but he didn't believe me.

"Well, I didn't believe those stories until a few months ago," I told him. "I phased a little while before my sixteenth birthday. I got mad and then suddenly I was a wolf. So, I came here. Jake has his own pack, which includes Seth. Sam, my pack leader, suddenly got a whole bunch of new wolves, so he sent me and some others up here to get trained."

"You aren't serious," Lewis looked around like he was looking for a camera.

"Lewis, I am serious, and there's more you need to know," I pleaded.

"No, I don't believe you. I don't want to hear it. Is Juliet in on this?" Lewis crossed his arms. "It's not funny, Spencer."

"It's not a joke!"

"PROVE IT!" Lewis challenged. "Prove it, right now."

"Fine," I told him. "Promise not to run away, because even though I look dangerous, I won't hurt you."

"Fine," he snapped. "I promise. Go ahead."

I took off my shirt. Lewis threw up his hands.

"And 'proving it' requires taking your clothes off?" He snapped at me. "Really?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. Do you think my clothes will just change with me? No, they'd explode!" I snapped back. "Honestly, Juliet tells me you're so smart."

Lewis pouted. My heart clenched at how adorable it was.

"Turn around, I'm taking my pants off," I told him.

I was pretty sure of two things. One, that Lewis was in shock, and two, that Juliet would kill me if he died of a heart attack.

Lewis was sitting there, completely white, and completely sweaty.

"Lewis?" I knelt in front of him. "Are you okay?"

"Uh," Lewis blinked a few times. "You're a… you're a big fucking dog."

"Wolf," I narrowed my eyes. "I am."

"Okay," Lewis said. "Okay."

"There's more."

"Of course there is."

"You don't have to hear it now," I told him.

"I want to, go ahead," he sighed. "I'm okay."

"Alright. Okay, so there's this thing that's pretty rare that happens to wolf people. If they meet their soulmate, the person that they're destined to love, they'll do this thing called imprinting," I explained. Lewis frowned.

"That sounds familiar. Weren't you yelling about it once?"

"Yeah, when I imprinted," I said sheepishly.

"You said you didn't imprint on a boy, that you weren't gay," he continued to frown.

"I was in denial, because, um," my voice faltered and gave out. "I imprinted on you."

"What?" He leaned forward.

"I'm-printed-on-you," I whispered.

"What?"

"HE IMPRINTED ON YOU!" Renesmee bellowed from inside the house. A dull thud, and then the house shook.

"Ow, Juliet!" Renesmee yelled. "You didn't have to push me off!"

"You deserved it," Juliet snorted. "You were supposed to stay quiet."

"You imprinted on… me?" Lewis asked.

"It's like this, when you see them for the first time, your whole world changes. Suddenly, they're the one holding you to the earth. They're everything to you. Jake imprinted on Renesmee, Seth imprinted on Juliet. They'd do anything for each other. It's not like a choice thing, it's a destiny thing," my voice became stronger as I talked.

"So, we're like soulmates?" He furrowed his brow. I nodded.

"Made for each other. I'm the first wolf to ever imprint on a guy, though. So I felt like a freak, and I refused to believe I was gay. I ran away from Seth and Jake, but they were only trying to help. I said we were just imprinted as friends, but then we started to talk and… what I feel for you isn't in a friend way," I sighed.

"Wow," Lewis ran a hand through his curls. "Wow."

"I know it's a lot to take in," I admitted. "But there is more."

"Oh, just lay it on me," Lewis shrugged. "At this point, anything is possible."

"Okay, so that clan of vampires that set the ball rolling? There was seven of them. They settled in Forks, and assimilated with the humans. Nobody suspected a thing. They left after a few years though, because people would have noticed them not aging. When it was safe, they came back, 'cause they liked Forks. That's what made Jacob change eventually. The only vampire that wasn't mated was one of the boys. They went to school, posing as humans. The boy vampire fell in love with a human girl. They had a long, very dangerous romance, until they finally got married after she graduated high school. She was still a human when they got married. Well, they didn't know it was possible to have babies, but the girl became pregnant. She had a baby that was half-vamp, half-human. The vampires and werewolves almost went to war, because the vamps broke the treaty by creating the baby and biting the girl as she was dying from the birth," I rambled.

"Okay wait," Lewis held up a hand. "So, she knew he was a vampire?"

"Yeah, he told her before they started dating," I said.

"Okay, and they had sex when she was human?"

"Yeah, that was stupid 'cause it was really dangerous," I said. "Anyways, the baby was really strong and grew fast, so the wolves thought it was gonna be a monster and threatened war. The vamps didn't care, and bit the girl when the birth almost killed her. The baby ended up being really cute and nice. She didn't mean to hurt her mama, anyways, the pack was about to fight the Cold Ones when suddenly, a wolf imprinted on the baby. No, don't look at me like that, he wasn't in love with her. Imprints can be friends, or like family. It's not just love. So, if you kill someone's imprint, you essentially kill the wolf, too. The pack didn't go to war, and the baby girl grew up quickly into a beautiful, strong, sassy princess."

"Okay," Lewis said. "That's a pretty cool story?"

"Yeah, it happened about six or seven years ago," I shrugged. "Um, okay, you aren't getting it. So then, the vampires left Forks and moved around until they got to another place. See, the girl grew so fast that it looked suspicious. When she was six years old, she looked sixteen, and her growth slowed. She started going to high school and made a friend. That friend was also beautiful and sassy, and got accepted into the family. A wolf imprinted on her and she was in foster care, so she was adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Her name is Juliet."

"No," Lewis shook his head. "No, no, no! NO!"

"Yeah," I wrapped my arms around my knees. "The Cullens are vampires. Nessie's the hybrid baby."

"Fuck! I knew something was off, but holy crap! Wait, who are the Cullens, really? They aren't all related, are they?" Lewis demanded.

"Carlisle came first, he bit Edward first because he was lonely and Eddie was dying. Then, he bit Esme, cause she was dying and he fell in love with her. Then he bit Rosalie because she was also dying and thought that maybe Edward would fall in love with her, but they didn't like each other like that. Then, I think Emmett got bit. Alice and Jasper joined them, but they weren't bit by Carlisle, they were bitten by someone else, I just don't know who. Edward fell in love with the human Bella in 2006, and they got married and then Nessie was born," I said.

"Wow," Lewis blinked. "I mean, I'm not even surprised anymore, I just don't even care."

"So you won't care when I tell you that we found out hybrids are poisonous, because a few months ago, Nessie bit Juliet and Juliet turned into a half-vampire?"

Lewis fainted.
