I am trying to update this as regular as possible but I'm also in the middle of trying to finish up another story on here (check it out, it's about Embry). I hope you all understand, enjoy, review, thank you.

Paul and I didn't talk the whole way back to my house. I was exhausted. Transportation took all my energy and I was stupid to have done it twice in a day but it was easier then getting bloods mixed up together from being in a bag. I was not going to be strong enough for this battle if I wasn't smart. I knew I wasn't strong enough in the first place but I had to try. People counted on me. I was able to help their ancestors so I needed to help keep their linage going.

We got back to my place where Paul gently lower me on the couch. He went into the kitchen and brought me out a glass of water and an apple. He sat silently in the rocker while I laid on the couch and ate. What am I suppose to say to him?

"I never saw being imprinted coming my way," I stated, confused as why no cards or premonitions hinted at it.

"Alice says the wolves effect the seeing, so if you're with a wolf or your future involves a wolf you're kinda screwed," he shrugged like it was just a simple sentence for him. He looked all about 25, he was probably older though and he would choose to keep phasing because of the imprint and my gene of not aging. I held my hand out to him, I waited a few minutes before I felt his came slipping into mine. When he did I flipped it over and looked at his hand lines. Sure enough, the life line was bold and long. The love line was the same. I never could read mine so looking at his, my imprinter, my so call soulmate, explained a lot of things to me.

"You were thrown into all of this pretty young?" The old pack I knew were first phasing around 30.

"I changed at 18. We all changed between 16 and 20. Brady and Collin being the youngest though at 14," he had been through a lot then. Lost a lot. Missed out on a lot. Wanted a lot.

"But you were born like this right? That must have been harder," Paul was trying to relate.

"I was born like this yes so a good way to look at it is that I never had to change or figure things out after being so normal. I was never normal. I was like this since day one," I felt bad for him and the others. Especially Leah being the only girl I ever knew of in a pack. They all had to give up things because of this. Love, family, friends, jobs, life. They give everything to protect their land.

"I don't mind it though. At first I did but now not so much. Sure I missed out a lot of my last year in school. I missed out on a lot in my family life like birthdays and weddings, even funerals. I missed out on girlfriends and normal jobs but I also gained so much. I gained a purpose. I gained brothers I'm bonded with for life. I gained...," he trailed off. I knew it was going to be something about me. The imprint on his side was already extremely strong to where on mine I was trying to not give into it, scared it would effect my job that I was here for.

"I'm suppose to leave when this is over," I weakly stated, we both knew and wouldn't admit that I couldn't leave. We both would get sick. The pull we had would get worse and try to kill us if we didn't return to each other.

"Are you scared?" Paul asked as I got up to go throw my apple away. I took out some things to make grilled cheese with for us and turned to look at him.

"Scared of what?" I asked before turning the stove on and clicking my tongue for a pan to float up to me. I grabbed it and placed it on the burner before starting the whole cooking process.

"Scared of us? Scared of the battle? Or maybe, just scared in general?" Was he trying to call me weak? I was a younger witch yes. My mother was in her 300s when she had me and my grandmother was well into her 900s before finally burning. Fathers were nothing but vessels to keep our line moving, they were used and discarded before they even knew what happened.

"I am scared in some ways," I answered honestly before putting the sandwich's in the pan to start cooking.

"I am scared of this battle I will admit. It seems like something I never thought I would find myself up against. I try to keep a very low profile because I'm also scared of getting into a fatal situation for myself," I knew the vampires had to be killed with fire and I was worried that the Volturi knew about me being there and would try the same death for me. Because it would work.

"I'm scared of us, yes. I was never meant to settle. Witches are not meant to settle. Just float, use a man at some point to create an offspring and then leave before he knows what hits him. I do not like not knowing what's coming in my life. I do not like the idea of this instant love but I also understand the universe and how it is bar shit crazy," at that he laughed. I pulled the sandwichs off the stove and put them on two plates, handing him one and setting my on the other side of the table. Away from him.

"Well, I will try my best to prove to you that I can be more useful then just to create offspring," he winked before taking giant bites into his food. Before I was even halfway done mine he was putting his plate in the sink.

"I do have to get going. My shift will be starting soon but I'm sure someone will be guarding your house and others will come visit," he laid a hand on my shoulder before squeezing it and leaving. My heart tugged.

Fuck.
