The scars on Emily's face were not the worst I had seen. Not even for a human. But I knew where those marks had come from, a wolf. By the hint of guilt floating in Sams eyes as he looked at her face then I'm guessing it was him. I sat on the barstool at the island pulling out the bag of items. By the time I had all the pack members sorted out all the boys have piled in. Emily sat a muffin in front of me before taking a pair of needles out of her own sewing kit and handing one to everyone.
"Now I will call you up one at a time and all you have to is rub your blood on the chain. Then once they are dried I'll send them away and head over to the vampires house. Are the imprints also coming?" I looked at Sam to answer my question. He nodded before sticking his finger and handing it out to me. I grabbed his chain and let him rub it on himself. I sat his down and moved on to Embrys and Jareds. Next was Quil Jr.
"My gramps talks a lot about you," he said as he rubbed his blood on his item.
"Quil Sr and I go way back. We took care of each other and for a long time he took care of mine when he didn't have to. I owe a debt to him so ta da," I did tiny jazz fingers at the end of my sentence. I called up Brady and Collin, the babies of the pack.
"So I heard Paul imprinted on you," Brady snickered which made Collin bust out laughing. I stared at them both before clicking my tongue, tying their shoe strings together so when they turned they fell on their faces. Seth and Paul fell to their knees laughing.
"Shut up Seth," Brady growled as he worked on getting their shoes back to normal.
"Who's Seth?" He asked with raised eyebrows. Right, I had changed his name. "My name is booboo," the whole house rocked with laughter then while I just continued on my task. Some tricks made me laugh but most I just did as revenge so they weren't as funny to me.
"That's my bad," I looked at Seth once everything calmed down. "Booboo, your real name is Seth and you will stop asking me so many questions. Three per day," I stared intently until his pupils shrunk again. I looked at Paul again and waited.
"Hey man, what's your name?" He asked the same question he did before. Smart boy.
"Seth, duh," he rolled his eyes and sat next to me by the island to keep away from the others. I'm assuming they picked on him a lot.
"Next," But then I realized I only had Jacobs left on the pack side.
"He's with the vampires," Paul whispered, he seemed to have a big issue with them. Bigger then the others. I nodded and put his back in my item bag and looked around the room. A few girls started coming through the front door. I sort of longed for that sort of carefree friendships but we didn't have those in my world. It was very lonely and isolating. Quil Sr has been the closest thing to family I had in a long time.
"Imprints," I shrugged as Emily held out her finger for me. I grabbed it and the wedding band on the counter that was labeled for hers. A quiet girl walked towards me, finger pricked and eyes averting my gaze.
"I'm a good guy, on your side," I whispered as I gently took her hand and rub it on the heart locket that was hers. "You'll be perfectly safe," I smiled in which I earned a smile back.
"I don't want to Quil," a small girl whispered from outside the kitchen. A child. I pulled by eyebrows together but then realized, she had to be an imprint, just a friend imprint for now though. Imprints work in mysterious ways. Obviously because Paul got stuck with me.
"Come on in here and I'll show you a magic trick," I said in sing song voice. A voice that old witches back in the day would use when they would kidnap kids for spells. She came running in excitedly, sadly the voice still worked then.
"Magic trick first," she pointed her finger towards me and tried to make a deal. Too bad for her I was smarter and quicker. I clicked my tongue and had a needle prick her and before the little girl even knew what was happen I grabbed the bracelet that was left for Claire, I'm assuming her, and rubbed it on her finger. She just stared in amazement that I had done that. I then licked my finger and pressed it on her bleeding spot and within seconds the spot was gone.
"Wow," Claire whispered as she lifted her finger up and stared at it.
"All done," I winked at her and then closed my eyes, I transported all the items back to my house and hung them up on the wall. I came back into the world of Emily's kitchen and found myself being stared at.
"That's so cool," Seth shouted as he was in the middle of eating the muffin Emily had sat out for me. I smacked his head and took it back.
"This is delicious," I said with a mouthful. I haven't had something this good and homemade in years.
"I'll drop some off to you tonight," she gave me a warm smile and sat a glass of milk in front of me before turning back to putting bandaids on all the girls fingers.
"What's next then boys?" I looked at Seth and Paul waiting for the next move.
"Vampires," Paul looked weary, like he was anxious to go there.
"You don't have to go if you don't want to. Seth and I can handle it," I knew what I said would make him come. Imprint prick right? I waved goodbye to everyone as we headed down the porch.
"This place is kind of far, want a ride?" Seth wiggles his eyebrows and bent down for me to get on his back. Paul growled at him which made me glare at him. Seth was a child, a sweet child, so I did what any girl would have done. Smacked Paul's head and climbed onto Seth's back to where they both took off running to the next house.
