"Name?"

"Vivian Ray Clearwater." The woman scribbled it down, as the group behind Vivian grew impatient. The council had asked Sue Clearwater if Vivian could pose as Harry's niece on his dead brother's side.

Sue agreed, so now she was Leah and Seth's cousin.

"Age?"

"17. I will be attending my junior year." Vivian was happy that her age would allow her to be in the same grade as Jacob. Sue, Leah, Seth, and Jacob all stood behind her. Leah was impatient, Sue excited, Seth mesmerized, and Jacob reassuring.

I sure do have a weird family now…

"All right. Since you were home schooled," another cover up, "would you like to take a test to place you in your classes, or are you trustworthy enough to just tell us?"

Vivian wondered if this was a trick question.

"Um. I'll take the test," and the woman nodded, mumbling, "This way then." Vivian gave Jacob a smile, and waved at the rest of them before following the woman.

When she finally got the test, it covering all the basic subjects, Vivian sighed and began.

"How come it's taking so long?" Jacob asked in irritation, pacing. Leah sighed, and Seth glared at him. Even fun loving Seth couldn't take Jacob's repeated questions.

"If Vivian doesn't come back soon I swear to god I'm going in there--"

Sue stood. "Jacob, if you don't shut up I'm going to--" but she was cut off also. "Hey guys." Vivian was standing in front of them looking weary, looking at Sue with amazement. She had effectively shut up Jacob!

"That," Vivian glared back at the oblivious secretary, "was the test from hell." Jacob sighed, and hugged Vivian tightly. "I wasn't gone that long…" she mumbled into his chest. The secretary then came out, holding some papers.

"You can come back tomorrow for your results. But other than academic classes, what language do you want to take? And what P.E class?"

"What are the options?"

"Language, there is French or Spanish. In Physical Education there are the options of track, mixed sports, and weight training." Vivian mulled it over for moment, before asking, "Jacob, what are you taking?"

"French and mixed sports."

"All right then," she said and turned to the secretary, "French and mixed sports." Jacob smiled and hugged her again. "Considering it is summer, you can come back tomorrow and see your test results and receive your class schedule."

"Thank you!" Vivian grinned, as everyone left the room, Jacob tugging on her hand.

"Why did you pick my classes?" Vivian smiled. "Well, I want to be in your classes. Plus, I speak French." Jacob laughed, and Sue frowned.

"Don't you want to learn another language?"

"Not really. I already speak English and French. Anyways, I can help Jacob." Next to them, Seth smiled. "I take French too." Seth gave her a suggestive look, and Vivian laughed.

"Are you going back to work?" Sue asked. She was nice, but Vivian had a feeling Sue wouldn't accept her until she proved her worth.

"Yes. I called up the owners of the music store I worked in, and they said I can start working when school starts on some of the week days, and Sundays."

This seemed to please Sue for the time being. Leah sighed, thinking that her mother was a bulldog. Once she got a hold of something, she never let go.

"And College? What about--"

"Okay! I think we've had enough questions," Jacob said, steering Vivian away. He was leading her to his car.

"I'm taking Vivian to the beach. You guys go on," he said. Vivian was surprised, for he hadn't told her of his plans. Seth was about to complain, but Leah socked him in the shoulder.

Getting in the car, Jacob and Vivian headed off to the beach.


Vivian kicked a rock into the water. It went only three feet, and plunked into the black waters before sinking. She scowled at the rocks on the beach before shivering. The sun was out, but there was cool breeze that only affected her as Jacob continued on his merry way.

"I love you," Jacob blurted out causing Vivian to stumble over in surprise. Jacob was grinning like the Cheshire cat at her.

"What?"

"I love you," he enunciated each word, making Vivian roll her eyes. He had to pick the one moment she was completely thinking of another thing to spring this upon her. Jacob moved forth and pressed his lips to hers, and Vivian shuddered. She pressed back, and just when she was getting comfortable, he pulled away.

Vivian growled. Jacob laughed, asking, "Did you just growl?"

"Yes," she responded with a feral look in her eyes, "and if you don't get back here, it's going to be a bite."

"Maybe I want you to bite me." Vivian raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth, leaning forward. He jumped back, laughing.

"Wait though. I want to talk about this. I love you, and… I need to tell you something."

Unfortunately, Leah had just imparted the knowledge earlier that when a guy has to tell you something, it is never good. Vivian wondered though if it was ever phrased, I love you, but now we have to break up.

Jacob confused her. "Go ahead," she said, looking away for the moment to hide her worry. He sighed, and this time he kicked a pebble, but instead of flying the measly 3 feet she had achieved, it soared out into the water.

"You know how Sam imprinted on Emily?"

"Yeah…"

Jacob ruffled his hair. This worried Vivian. Usually he was so blunt in saying things, but now he was beating around the bush.

"Well. I imprinted on you."

Vivian would say a cricket chirped, but there were no crickets on the beach. She stared at him. She would say her thoughts were flying, but her mind was completely empty.

"You…. Imprinted on me?" she asked slowly, not sure if she heard right, but he nodded. Questions popped into her head.

"Explain," Vivian grabbed her around the waist, and pulled her down into his lap on the sand. She didn't really call that explaining, but who was she to argue?

"Imprinting is a were wolf finding his soul mate, remember? Well, I imprinted on you when I saw you at the music shop. We're supposed to imprint the moment we see the person for the first time, but I think I didn't imprint on you at first because you were dead."

Vivian breathed in and out. She wasn't scared about this; it was just a lot to take in. Having someone tell her they were soul mates wasn't exactly a cup of tea.

They're soul mates, they belong together forever.

He's never going to love another woman, and Bella's face flashed in her mind. This loosened up Vivian and she smiled. "You love me?"

"Yes." And that was all it took. Vivian pushed him down onto the sand with surprising strength, and ran her lips on his jaw, and then to his lips.

Vivian pulled back a bit with hazy eyes, and said to him those three little words "I love you," and just for the heck of it she added to it, "more than you can ever know." He smiled goofily causing her heart to flutter.

They were kissing again, his hands on her waist and hers in his hair. Vivian was, with no doubt, the happiest she had ever been. She had thought she didn't deserve him, but apparently, the fates decided she did.

Nibbling on his bottom lip, Vivian paused and pulled back. Jacob was flushed, and it took him a moment to realize she wasn't kissing him anymore.

"What now?" he groaned, annoyed at the sudden pause in their kissing.

"Do you think Ephraim knew? And that's why he sent me back?" Jacob thought about this. It made sense. "Probably. I don't think he would have done so much ghost magic if you were just another girl."

Vivian smiled, and leaned back. Unfortunately, she was sitting on him, so when she leaned back, something brushed against her.

"What is that?" she asked, and Jacob pushed her off of him. He was turned away and scowling.

"Jacob?" she touched his arm, and he sighed.

"Do I need to explain the birds and the bees to you?" of course, this wasn't comprehended by Vivian because she had never heard of the expression.

"What?"

"When two people get married they do something. My body wants to do that."

The realization came slowly, and when it finally hit her, she choked. "O-oh." Jacob stood, finally relieved of his little problem.

"Sorry," he mumbled, still turned away from her. Vivian smiled, and moved in front of him. He was glaring at the ground (did the poor innocent sand do anything to him?), so she lifted up his face.

"Jacob. I should be saying sorry. I caused it. Anyways, it was just a natural reaction. I was feeling probably exactly the same way as you, my body just doesn't… show it as drastically."

This made Jacob laugh. Finally, she thought. An embarrassed Jacob was completely new to her. He was always so confident.

"Want to head back?"

"Sure—oh wait!" she exclaimed.

"What?"

"You have to see me bend." Vivian told him to stay back, and she headed about 20 feet away from him. She closed her eyes, and held her arms out, palms facing the sky.

A spark blinked in one hand, while a flame spiraled into her other hand. The two elements met each other and converged, a red fire with blue lightning spinning around each put her palms outward, and moved her body. Spreading her legs apart in a horse stance, she began to move the combination of lightning and fire in a flow around her, the lights bouncing off her eyes.

Jacob was amazed. Before her powers were wild, but now they were controlled as she moved the elements followed her.

Vivian stood still, the fire and lightning dissipating around her, and she opened her eyes. There was a sense of vulnerability in them, as if she expected Jacob to leave her after seeing the strange dance of lights.

"That was amazing," he said instead, and Vivian was felt enormous relief. She skipped next to him, his smile blinding.

"I'm ready to go now." And off they headed, back to the Black house, back to home.


"You will be put into Algebra 2, since you showed an understanding of Algebra 1 and Geometry. For English, we are placing you into European literature because you understand American quite well." Rooms A-5 and B-9.

Vivian was back at the school, with Jacob only this time, and it seemed she did a bit above average on all her classes. The woman had handed her the schedule, and was reading off the classes and why she got them.

So far, she was not in Jacobs English or Math class. He was holding his schedule and peering over her shoulder to compare.

"And for history, we will connect your English with it, placing you in European history. We were surprised you had such a handle on American literature and history." A-2 and C-7.

Well duh, I lived through the history.

"And for science, Chemistry." C-4, and then peering at Jacobs he also had C-4, Ms. Harrison, and period 5.

Finally! She had a class with Jacob. She also had French and P.E. with him, but now half her classes was with Jacob. This made her enormously happy.

Jacob was grinning also, as they thanked the secretary and left. She now had her schedule, and her test results in a small envelope. "Thank god I have you in Chemistry. I don't understand that class at all," Jacob said to her, obviously expecting Vivian to tutor him somehow.

"Jacob," she said, moving in front of him and smiling. She wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at his face. Messy black hair, beautiful smile, and the warmest, most loving eyes she had ever seen.

"You just have to remember one rule for chemistry," she stood on her tip toes, and brushed her lips against his, causing him to tighten his grip.

"What?" he asked, though he didn't sound at all interested in what she had to say, but was staring at her lips. List of things to do: #1 thank Leah for letting me have the citrus lip gloss. Vivian giggled as she saw a bit of lip gloss residue on Jacob's lips.

"Opposites attract!"
