Heaven is waiting
January 1st afternoon
Jacob couldn't stop running his hands through his black hair; now it was cut shorter then it had ever been.
"You keep doing that it's going to all fall out," Fay mused as she placed a stack of sandwiches on the bench in front of Jacob. She was pretty impressed with her hair cutting skills and liked Jacob's new look.
"Did it have to be this short?" Jacob wined as he picked up his first sandwich.
"Trust me, it grows like made, after a couple more phases you'll be wishing it was shorter," Fay smiled sitting down with her own food.
"I don't believe that," Jacob said. Fay smiled softly and the two eat in confinable silence until Embry arrived.
"Hey dude you look good, barely recognised you," Embry said slapping Jake on the back.
"He doesn't like it," Fay said tossing her last sandwich to Embry who caught it one handed.
"You'll get use to it," Embry shrugged before taking a bight of the sandwich.
"I guess," Jacob said with a shrug.
"Is that what your wearing?" Embry asked looking at Fay. She still had on the same denim shorts and white shirt she wore earlier that day.
"Yes, what's wrong with it? I didn't realise there was a dress code for motor bike riding."
"It's white," Embry pointed out.
"Yes..." Fay said slowly. "And your shirt is blue, what's your point Embry?" Fay asked.
"Your going to get covered in mud, you don't want to wear a darker colour?" He suggested.
"This shirt will probably get ribbed to shreds next time I phase so I don't really care if it has some mud marks," Fay said pointed out the obvious once more.
"I guess that's true," Embry said finishing the sandwich. "You ready to go then?"
"Yeah, unless you want to judge my style of cut hair next?" Fay asked sarcastically.
"Nah that's fine by me."
"Good, now lets go. Jacob will you be right here by yourself until Sam gets here? He shouldn't be to far away."
"Yeah I'll be fine, thanks. Have fun," Jacob smiled.
"You too," Fay said waving over her shoulder as she left the room. Embry had already dropped the bike off at the dirt road they would be practicing on. It was only a short ten minute walk form Fay's house.
"So how's he dealing with it all?" Embry asked after they were far enough in the forest that he was sure Jacob wouldn't hear them.
"He'll be fine in a few weeks, he just has to get use to it," Fay said softly.
"Do you think he's going to take over from Sam?" Embry asked.
"No. At least not for a while."
"Who do you think is going to be Beta once he does become Alpha?"
"That's up to him," Fay shrugged.
"I guess... Hey do you ever think about imprinting?"
"I don't want to talk about it," Fay answered quickly taking the lead even tho she didn't know where they were going. She could feel Embry giving her a confused look as she moved faster.
Jacob POV
"How are you feeling?" Sam asked as the pair left for patrol.
"You don't care."
"Jacob I'm only here to help you."
"Can I at least call Bella to tell her I'm okay, she's going to be going crazy with worry." Sam didn't reply for a few minutes as they walked aimlessly through the forest.
"Okay. When we finish patrol you can call her, tell her to stay away. You do not mention anything about us to her. The only people other then the pack that can know about us are the elders and imprints. No one else. It's for their own good." Sam said making things as clear as possible.
"Paul said that word early, imprint, what does it mean?" Jacob asked. Sam was silent for another moment as a thoughtful look passed over his face.
"Never mind that's not important. Now I want you to focus."
Fay POV
"Yo Fay, earth to Fay. Are you listening?" Embry asked waving a hand in front of Fays face.
"Sorry I zoned out after you showed me how to start it." They were now at the dirt road and it had started to rain. The cold rain didn't bother either of them but puddles were starting to form on the uneven road.
"Come on Fay-"
"How hard could it be?" Fay asked cutting Embry off.
"I know you heal quickly and all but that bike is my baby, if you brake it I will not react well," Embry hissed. "Look I'm sorry I brought up imprinting, I know it's not an easy subject to talk about especially since we don't know if female wolves can even imprint. I've just been thinking about it a lot lately and I though I could talk to you about it."
"Sorry I'm just not in the mood to talk about that kind of stuff at the moment. Maybe another time."
"Yeah sure, whenever."
Fay gave Embry a smile as her grip tightened on the bike handles. She revved the engine once and Embry gave her an approving smile back. With a second rev of the engine, mud flow in the air and the bike took off. Embry wasn't amused to have to rub mud off his face.
It was like flying, that was the only way to describe it. In wolf form she could outrun the bike easily but running took a lot more effort then riding. As she rounded the first corner she enjoyed not having someone popping in and out if her head. Sharing your female mind with half a dozen teen guys got annoying very quickly.
As she rounded the last bend mud was all over her clothes and skin, in her hair and her shoes.
"You look great, I think wet mud is so your colour," Embry smiled as the bike slowed to a stop.
"Very funny. I don't know what you were so worried about that was easier then running," Fay said with a wide grin.
"I'm glad you like it, now it's my turn, get off."
"Oh come on Embry, one more lap, please?" Fay asked nicely.
"It's my bike, I want a go!" He said sounding childish.
"Fine," Fay sighed stepping off the bike. Embry smiled taking the bike from her.
"You smell that?" Fay asked as a shiver ran through her.
"You eating my dust?" Embry laughed. The wind changed direction and the bike fell from Embry's hands as a sickly sweet smell hit his nose. "Leaches," he hissed. They both started shaking, ready to phase as something cold slammed into Embry's side throwing him several feet.
Fay phased into a mess of thoughts as her eyes locked onto the blood sucker. It's blood red eyes were wide and wild like an animal's. It barred its teeth and hissed at Fay.
'Fay! Where are you?' Sam asked through the mind link.
'On the road to the timber yard," Fay replied as she watched Sam and Jacob change direction.
'We'll be be there in a minute," Sam said as he let out a howl for the rest of the pack.
The leach was examining Fay's wolf. It seemed unsure. Did it not know what they were?
'Where did it come from?' Fay thought as she slowly walked around the monster trying to get between it and Embry. She could hear he was starting to move again, the hit must have nocked him out for a minute.
'Teeth, watch the teeth,' Sam growled as the creature hissed at Fay once again.
Fay couldn't pull her eyes away from the red irises that drilled into her brain. Her memory flashed back to the last time she had seen eyes like those, she had almost died. Fay and the Leech both jumped at the same time colliding in mid air.
Fay could hear voices yelling at her in her mind as her jaws locked onto the leech's forearm. She could hear it's ice like skin cracking under her teeth as her four paws hit the ground. She released how big of a mistake she had made all to late. The leech swung it's self onto her back and wrapped its free arm around her neck. She prepared herself for the own crack of her neck and faces flashed through her mind.
She heard a sickening crack and waited for the pain but nothing came and the arms around her neck disappeared. She looked around to see what happened. To her right she saw Jacob's wolf ripping the leech to shreds. Jared and Paul ran from the close tree line and joined Jacob in the fun of shredding the leech. Embry was slowly getting to his feet, there was a gash above one eye and a large bruise forming on his forehead by the second. And Sam stood a few feet in front of her glaring down at her.
Fay ran for the tree line phasing back, as soon as she hit the trees she was pulling on the larger shirt she always kept strapped on her ankle. She had been court short a few times and made sure I always have it on her now. It was silent for a few seconds as she reached the tree line she could hear Sam phase back and start yelling orders.
"Embry go home get cleaned up. Paul burn it all. Jared, Jake run the perimeter, make sure there isn't more. I'm not done with you yet ," Sam growled jogging to catch up with his sister. "What you did back there was stupid. One second slower and you would..." they were a few meters in the tree line now out of sight from the others but still in ear shot.
"I don't need a lecture," Fay hissed as she felt the bruises that were forming on her neck.
"I think you do, how stupid could you be? What if Jake hadn't gotten there in time? I would have been to late."
"Can you yell at me latter, I really don't feel like this right now," Fay said back.
"You scarred the hell out of me, you know that right?" Sam stopped walking and Fay slowed down. "I can't lose you again."
"All I could see was that leech, the one from the day you and the others found me. All I wanted to do was kill him, I wasn't thinking straight," Fay shock her head.
"No you weren't. So how long were you going to keep the secret from me?" Sam asked.
"What do you mean?" Fay asked, confused. Turing around to finally face her brother hoping they were now out of ear shot.
"The imprint." Fay swallowed a lump in her throat and started walking again.
"How do you know about that?" She asked as Sam walked along next to her,
"You haven't been the same since he joined the pack. Right before Jake ripped the leech off you, pictures flashed in your mind, pictures of him."
"What? Did he notice? He doesn't know."
"What?" Sam asked, confused.
"Jake has no idea I imprinted on him."
"How?"
"He had just phased for the first time, just learnt I was alive and the legends where all real," Fay explains.
"You need to tell him."
"He's confused enough, i don't want to make things any harder for him."
"Your just making things harder for yourself Fay, you can't hide the feeling you have for him, not for long."
"Paul has already worked it out. I think Embry was almost there as well. Can you just give me a few more days," Fay pleaded to her brother.
"I'll put Jake on morning patrols with Jared for the next few days, after that I can't help," Sam know it was hard to keep secrets for long in this pack and it was only a matter of time before everyone know about the imprint.
"Thanks," Fay whispered turning to walk back to her house, but Sam grabbed her shoulder.
"Congratulations," Sam said pulling his little sister into a quick huge, he was happy for her.
