Everyone who added the old story to their alerts, I love you all so fucking much, it amazed me. I just want to try writing it this way, changing things up a bit. Hope you guys like it. Okay, so I had two reviews already! I'm happy with that! Okay, so this chapter is sort of just Embry and the pack trying to figure out a way for Embry to actually meet Anna in person. Seth, of course, brings up the subject of Anna's dreams and Renesmee (who is with Jacob, who is sitting her for a few hours since Bella allows him to spend time with her and Anna is working) even sort of helps by giving Embry a sketch that she took from Anna's Sketch book of him both in wolf and human form. She still has yet to meet him. Again, this dream is not an actual power or special ability. It's a random freak thing that just happens to be true this time around. After it's no longer needed in the story, it probably won't come up anymore.. I don't wanna make people mad or something, lol.
Thanks again to all those who have reviewed and added this story to their alerts! You all mean the world to me and are the sole reason I keep writing this story.
CHAPTER TWO
"Whoa, wait? When you say she dreams about me, Seth.. You're gonna have to clarify what that means.." Embry said as he looked at Seth and then at Jacob, who had Renesmee with him for a few hours, apparently he was babysitting Renesmee for Bella and Edward because apparently, tonight, Embry's imprint couldn't because she was starting her work study program at Forks PD.. As the coroners assistant.
"Just what it means, dude." Seth said as he took a bite of his steak and then stated through a mouth full, "And according to my sister, who saw her last night, out at a sports bar in Port Angeles with Jessica Stanley, she's probably not going to be brave enough to make the first move."
"The hell does just what it means even mean, Seth?"
"It means, Embry, that she's dreamed about you.. Which is weird considering she hasn't met you.. It's this recurring thing, Bells said it's been going on since Anna was about fifteen or something." Jacob stated as Renesmee took a deep breath and dug around in her little pink bookbag amongst her books and her journal, walking over to Embry, shoving a sketch ripped out of her aunt Anna's sketch pad at him.
Embry unfolded the paper and studied it a few moments. It was a pretty detailed but still slightly roughly sketched version of his inner wolf.. And when he flipped it over, he saw that she'd sketched a fairly accurate sketch of him in human form on the other side.
"But we've never met before."
"Yes, Embry, we know this. This is why you have to at least try, dipstick. Because if the imprint were going to reject, really don't think she'd be having bizarre sexual type dreams about you without even knowing you." Leah pointed out as she rolled her eyes a little, pretending annoyance.
She laughed a little after her eyes scanned a text. "And she's texting me now."
"She has time to do that?" Jacob asked, laughing a little as he slid a marshmellow onto a stick for Renesmee, he got to keep her tonight so Anna could go into work and Edward and Bella could do their own thing for a few hours.
"She's just the assistant, Jacob, you dumb ass, and anyway it's not like they're up to their eyes in corpses. This is Forks. According to this text, she's on her break, but all they had her doing before was refiling cold cases and stuff." Leah stated as she waved the phone in Embry's direction, showing him a picture that Anna sent Leah.
He snickered a little, and after gazing intently at his imprint's picture for a few moments, he said quietly, "So I'll have to approach her first."
"Yes, because she's anti dating.. Actually, to be honest, it's not that she's anti dating, but that's what she'll tell you so she doesn't have to face the fact that she's kind of a chicken because she thinks that if she did try, it wouldn't do her any good.. I have a feeling that certain people have a lot to do with that, but yeah.. She just thinks it would go all kinds of badly." Leah stated as Embry nodded, looked at the phone one more time, reading a text that had come in for Leah from Anna while he'd been fixated on the picture text she sent and had it in his hand.
"She's taking me to a museum Saturday." Renesmee offered quietly, looking at Embry a few moments, smiling. She wanted Embry to meet her aunt, because she liked having her aunt Anna around, Anna had all these interesting stories and always wanted to do strange but fun and interesting things. Things that her mom and dad weren't easily convinced that it would be okay for Renesmee to do, just because she was what she was.
Anna didn't really treat her like she was different or anything. And yes, sometimes having her aunt around was like having a grown up child to play with. Not to mention, her aunt Alice seemed to think that Anna and Embry were meant to be together or something, she'd had this vision about Anna with someone, but since it was a shifter (who they knew now was Embry according to her mommy) Alice couldn't tell who. She'd just seen Anna with someone and happy.. Not pretend happy like she did a lot now. Really and truly happy.
Leah looked at Jacob's imprint a few moments and then turned her attention back to the task at hand currently, which was figuring out a plausible way for Embry and Anna to accidentally bump into one another.
" We'll figure something out, Embry."
" It's fine, really.. I mean she might not like me. For all I know, she could actually hate me on sight or something. Like I said before." Embry said quietly as he stared into the fire, poking at it. If his friends were right, he was going to have to do the unusual and make the first move.
And about halfway through the bonfire, he thought of a way he just might be able to do that very thing.. Now the question remained.. If he did manage to pull it off, how would it go? He hoped it would finally work out, that he might finally be about to get his own happy ending, but as usual, the skeptic inside him didn't want to get his hopes up too high.
All he did know was that he was apparently going to have to make the first move.. Because according to Leah, Anna was too afraid to.
And he wondered why she would be afraid of love to begin with.. He'd have to ask Leah if she might know why, or if she'd explain what she hinted at a few minutes before later.
"She's mad."
"What's up?" Embry asked, brow raised, concerned. Knowing Leah was talking to, or rather, texting, his imprint sort of had him on alert, curious, wondering what was going on, wishing he could hurry up and meet her in person already and not just in the wolf form like he'd done twice now.
"We're eating barbecue and she just got her food for the night.. A hamburger. That they forgot to put tons of onions and pickles on." Leah said as she laughed a little and then texted Anna back that she should come to a bonfire sometime or something.
When Anna actually texted back that yes, she'd probably love to, Leah laughed out loud and then said "So. She said she'd come with me to one of the bonfires."
Embry smiled a little, but inside he was still nervous as hell..
How was this all going to go?
"When?"
"Well I thought maybe Friday night.. She's off and I'm pretty sure Sam will want to have yet another meeting with us all." Leah mused aloud as she texted Anna back and asked, "Friday?" doing a victory fist when again, Anna texted back Yes.
So he'd get to meet her face to face on Friday. The thought made him smile a little to himself.
