I do not own any twilight people
Chapter 14
Happily ever after only lasts for a little bit. It always when something big and bad blows through the wind, interrupting it all.
The last few months were almost as normal as I was ever going to get. Embry and I grew closer, sleeping in the same bed every night and spending as much time together as we could. We acted like a normal couple, with some supernatural races mixed in. He always looked at me with a twinkle in his eye, a twinkle that made me feel that I was the only girl for him. That I was his sun. But a thought always stayed in the back of my mind, reminding me that if this war doesn't go the way we want then we could never see one another again.
We all trained when we got chances. Jasper was of course the leader in those sessions and taught us enough to save our asses. The wolves already knew some of the moves from last time but this was all new to me. All I knew how to do was run but I could never out run an actual vampire and they all knew it. Alice taught me how to evade attacks with moving quickly and silently. Rosalie taught me high kicks and flips that would help me some. Emmett and Edward just showed off, they knew how to fight and thought they could handle it themselves. Cocky pricks.
The wolves tried to help me with how to snap off heads but when Paul put Edwards head in her mouth things got out of hand. Yes it was a joke but Edward did freak out for a moment. Maybe mind reading isn't always the best power.
It was colder out now, to where the rain became freezing and flurries would fall down but never stick. Everyone was on high tension but trying to keep it together. They all spent as much time loving each other as they could. Going out on dates or just spending the whole night locked away in their rooms.
That's when things became bad. Embry took me out for a walk to the beach one night, I could tell by the way he wasn't reaching for my hand or cracking a joke that something was wrong. I could feel it in my gut and my chest was tight. I didn't say a word though because whatever was wrong was his to tell.
"I have to tell you this before the battle begins," he whispered quietly and stopped walking turning towards me. We hadn't even made it to the river that separates the lands yet. "If this battle goes south you need to know this. And whether you accept it or not I will have to just wait to the end. We never hide anything from each other, we are always telling each other everything. But I kept something big from you and I'm terrified how you will react!" Embry was now pacing the water line and pulling at his hair that I've grown to love to play with when falling asleep. I sat quietly and waited, whatever he kept must have been big but with this war coming now was not the time to freak out and lose him.
"Imprinting. Finding your other half within someone. Pretty much the whole pack have done it. Jared with Kim, Sam with Emily, Jacob with Nessie, Paul with Rachel, Seth with Lucy… me with you," he whispered the last part like it was the biggest secret in the world. He finished what he needed to say but was still freaking out.
Imprint. I have heard others say it before but I guess it never clicked. I never thought to ask. I have seen the way the others looked at their girlfriends or wives, I've seen the way Embry looked at me. Embry was telling the truth and just didn't know how I would react. I cleared my throat and wrapped my jacket around tighter, it was starting to snow again which made me shiver even more. But when I shivered he came closer like this was what he was meant to do. I just wrapped my arms around him and kept quiet.
He calmed down soon enough when he noticed I wasn't running or freaking out. I was just hugging this beautiful man in the middle of the woods while it snowed down around us. After a few moments I stepped away from him about to say something when I looked around.
"Its sticking."
