We had arrived at a small house laid in the woods. I looked and found three BIG BUFF guys and a lady inside the house. It smelt like cheese and pepperoni pizza from the truck and damn did it smell good. I was still starring into the house when Embry opened the door for me. I was kind of scared the boys looked intimidating. Embry laughed at my expression I guess so I looked at him.
"They won't bite you I promise; the boys already know you're my imprint. If they hurt you it would kill me. Emily hasn't been told yet,"
"You are going to have to feel me in on this imprinting stuff. I know bare minimum."
"Okay, but just come on. Oh! Just to make sure, I know she is your cousin and all but don't stare, Sam doesn't like it when people stare. By the way I may have not mentioned you were my imprint yet," He whispered. He led me out of the truck and held my hand. It felt so right.
"Wait! What?" I hissed realizing that he said he hadn't mentioned the whole imprint thing to her.
"Embry why is she here?" Emily spoke.
"Emily, she's my imprint," Embry replied looking down at me.
"Well then welcome to another family," she spoke pulling me in for a hug. She was gentle and kind. We separated and that's when I realized her scars. The story I was always told was a bear attack, but now I was questioning if it was really a bear. I went back to Embry and he wrapped his arms around my waist, kissed my head, and laid his chin on it.
"Embry, you can be on patrol tonight or tomorrow." Sam spoke. He must be the Alpha. I hoped he would say tonight, I really did. I don't think I could handle class without him. I raised my head looking at him. He looked down at me. I gave him a small grin, not showing anything but happiness not minding what he had chosen.
"I'll go tonight," he spoke looking up away from my face.
"Okay, you will be with Jared tonight. Paul, you are with me tomorrow," Paul just nodded.
"Embry, we need to talk," Sam spoke. I looked at Sam, he had a look of worry but I didn't ask…"Emily, Paul, Jared, keep Stephanie company, for a while." Sam instructed.
"Come on, Steph, do you mind if we call you that?" Jared asked.
"Na, it's what my friends call me," I replied. Embry released me from his grip.
"I'll be back soon," he spoke. I smiled and he kissed my forehead.
"Don't do anything stupid," I mumbled. He was still my best friend but things had advanced in our friendship we were going to be kissing and holding hands, not an extreme change. Right?
I followed Emily and the two boys into the house. The aroma of the pizza hit me; my stomach growled making sure they knew.
"Help yourself. The boys eat one whole pizza themselves so I have to make eight. I never waste food with the boys around." She brought me the pizza and I stacked up three pieces one of pepperoni and two of cheese.
"You sure you aren't a werewolf? I've never seen a girl eat 'that' much pizza!" Paul spoke out.
I blushed and Emily hit him and smiled at me, "you can have as much as you want."
"Thank You," I spoke.
"You know Embry would kill you if he was around." Jared told Paul.
"I realize that, exactly why I'm making fun of her when he isn't around, it's kind of fun." Paul looked my way with an evil grin. Jared came up to me and smiled.
"Don't worry about him; he just likes to pick on people… Hey wait I've seen you before! You're Brady's sister, you are related to Emily, the Clearwater's and Ateara's aren't you?"
"Yeah, they are my cousins." I spoke up.
"Cool," Jared replied. He took a slice of pizza from his whole.
"Yep," I said popping the 'p'. He went back to the living room leaving me to nothing but silence. I sat there and ate my pizza, when all of a sudden I heard a whisper. The boys were in the living room, and I didn't want to disturb them so I followed the whisper. Leaving the boys behind, they didn't even seem to notice; how could they with the T.V up that loud.
It was there I found a group of people, two males and two females. They stood there and around them were some bodies of people but for some reason I didn't even care. I was just listening to the whisper and it soon turned into a hum. All of them were gorgeous! The males had hair that glistened and there skin sparkled, there eyes blood red, but yet they were so beautiful. The females had brown hair that fell perfectly to their chest. Their eyes, like the male's, blood red but more inviting. They were more sweet and innocent looking. I was only a few feet away from the perfect looking beings and the growls came.
The humming stopped and I finally could run away, I stopped a while back and saw two of the females getting away and one was walking my way. Until I saw Embry's wolf form run towards it tearing it to pieces. I didn't know what was going on. I stayed there while Embry went into the woods. He came out with nothing but shorts and his briefs band showing. He was angry; I hoped he wasn't angry at me. I sat back in the grass holding my knees to my chest avoiding his eyes.
"What the hell was I thinking? Leaving you for a second," he spoke to himself.
"Don't be mad at me, please!" I exclaimed.
"Mad? At you? Steph, are you serious? I can't be mad at you!"
"You should be, if it wasn't for me we wouldn't have to deal with any of this. I was so stupid. It's my entire fault," I spoke.
"You didn't have a choice it was a siren vampire. They lure you in with the song, and once you hear that song, it is over. You have no control over what happened. If anyone should be angry at someone, you should be yelling at me. I'm the one you left you alone, you left you without a single sane person to protect you." He glared as the wolves were starting to retreat. Leaving body parts of three vampires stranded everywhere.
"What about the other one?" I spoke. He looked at me and shrugged.
"Will get the Cullen's to take a look in to it," he replied. I nodded and got up with the help of my new werewolf boyfriend.
"Next time remind me to leave you with Jacob or Quil," he mumbled. I nodded.
"Where are they?" I asked. He just shrugged. He wasn't talking much and I didn't know why.
"Want to go to my house? Moms home," he asked. I nodded and happily agreed; I haven't seen his mom in so long that I had almost forgotten how she looked. He grabbed my hand and was leading us back to Emily's place.
It was there that Jared and Paul started apologizing every minute they could, well after the huge wolf hug from them. I looked at Embry he was staring at Sam, which was watching me. After the boys were dismissed, Embry and I were ready to leave. Just as I was opening my door Emily came out and apologized. I smiled and told her it was okay and that no one got hurt don't worry about it. Finally we were able to leave.
I started to buckle but then I saw Embry and his face so I slid over to his side and laid my head down in his lap.
"What are you doing?" he asked looking down at me.
"I'm pretty sure they call this laying down," I spoke with sarcasm and a wide grin.
"Not what I meant," he spoke. I just shrugged and looked at the clock it was already 7:45. We only had an hour left and I would be leaving. I still couldn't believe everything I had gone through today… First, my best guy friend tells me that he is a werewolf. Second, not even 10 minutes after the big shocker he told me that he had imprinted on me. Then we decided we would try out the whole relationship stage and he would take me out on a date. Last of all, I was lured to my death by vampires. It was defiantly not a normal day for me. I didn't care though because honestly I was happy. My boyfriend, well not really my boyfriend yet but anyways, was a werewolf and he was hot, but that didn't even begin to tell you how perfect he was. He was so sweet, funny, and most all he cared about me. I know most of it was probably an imprint but I didn't want to think like that.
"So, I know we haven't even gone out on a date yet but what do I call you; my boyfriend or future boyfriend? No scratch that it sounds to creepy stalker like."
"I like when you say boyfriend, nice ring to it," he winked. I smiled and thought, Embry Call one of the hottest guys in school is now my boyfriend. Wow, he was right it does have a nice ring to it. I looked up at his smiling figure and his dimples, he was so hot and I had him all to myself.
Embry waved his hands in front of me, "hello, Earth to the girlfriend."
I looked at him with a surprised look.
"Did you hear anything I just said?" He asked me.
"Honestly? No, I was thinking about how hot you were!" I spoke. He jerked his head down looking at me.
"Are you serious?" He asked. I nodded and he grinned, looked back up at the road, but took one hand of the wheel and wrapped his arm around me. This was nice; this was what life should be like for everyone. I snuggled closer to him and enjoyed the heat.
~~~Line Break~~~
His mother had welcomed me and gave me a hug. She offered me some chicken but I refused after all I did eat three pieces of pizza at Emily's. Embry on the other hand didn't eat pizza and ate four pieces of chicken breast. It was amazing, that he could eat that much, I mean the chicken breast were at least twice the size of my hand, if not bigger. I knew what Emily was talking about when said she never had to waste food. I sat there in amazement. He laughed at my face when he was finished.
"So, what do you want to do?"
"Don't care," I replied.
"My room and we could watch T.V?" He asked. I nodded in agreement; it sounded okay. We went up to his room and sat on his bed; he turned on the T.V at the exact moment some movie about werewolves came on. I snickered, out of everything to show it had to be about werewolves. He looked disappointed, but he had to admit it was pretty funny. It was there that I saw the 'werewolf' they looked nothing like Embry. It was really weird, knowing the real thing and seeing the film version. In the film that had it standing up on two legs, its snout was really out there and its teeth showed, and last of all it looked like it was a human but tall and with fur. It just didn't look right, and I liked my boyfriend's version MUCH better.
"You look much, much better than that!" I informed him.
"Glad to know," he replied. I rose up and looked at him, he was looking out the window and alerted.
"Okay, spill!" I exclaimed. He looked at me and stared at my face.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why the hell have you been so quite?" I asked him. He looked back up at the window again.
"That's it. We haven't even been on a date yet, and you're keeping things from me? Does that sound right to you at all! If it does then we need to figure out things before this goes any where. All I asked was a simple question," I spoke. He looked at me again and now he looked upset. I didn't even realize that I wasn't even on the bed; I was next to it, standing up.
"Come here, please," he spoke.
"Will you tell me?"
"Sam told me something about the Clearwater's. He thinks that Seth maybe turning. His father died a couple of days ago from a heart attack."
"Wait, my cousin Seth?" I asked. He nodded and looked back out the window.
"So, if he has the blood for the gene…" I didn't even have to finish it. I had the gene, I could be a werewolf. I was in shock and I did what most people would do when it comes to being in shock… I fainted.
