The four teens stepped from the woods and headed towards the log cabin, Jacob and Cloud holding hands as Zack and Sunny bantered playfully together. The men wore jean shorts, and the girl wore a skirt and a blue tank top, her hair in a high ponytail.
"I still can't believe there are so many in your pack! Jeez, how do you keep yourselves sane with all those thoughts running through your head at the same time? I think I would take a chunk out of somebody in moments." Sunny shivered dramatically, eyes sparking playfully.
Jacob just laughed, bringing her twin's hand up to his mouth to kiss the back. "You get used to it after a while. Its kinda weird when the entire pack figures out just who you had a dream about the night before, but we deal. Leah has the most trouble, I think."
He nodded to the Native American girl who hung on the outskirts of the bonfire, an unhappy frown on her undeniably beautiful face. Sunny tilted her head to the side, pursing her lips slightly. "Huh. She reminds me of a werewolf loner we once met, by the name of Tifa. Man, that girl hit hard. That's how Aerith found out she liked girls, and… Well, Miss Beautiful up and disappeared with a single note that said she didn't like crowds."
Jacob flinched sympathetically. "Ouch. That's gotta hurt. Aerith is the… Flower girl Werecat, right?" Cloud nodded with a chuckle. The brunette shrugged and pointed to the rest of the guys in turn.
"The one who's goofing off right now is Quil, he's the prankster. The one beside him is Embry, everybody was surprised they didn't imprint when he Turned, because they're such close friends. Paul is the one with the obnoxious smirk, I swear he thinks he's better than everyone else. You already know our strong, honorable Alpha, Sam, and his Imprint, Emily. The little guy by Leah is her younger brother, Seth. Jared is the one by Paul, somehow those two are friends. And…
Oh, shit. I forgot I invited her." His voice dropped to a whisper as he spotted a girl with dark brown hair and even darker brown eyes, who looked at him hopefully. Cloud automatically leaned closer, sapphire eyes narrowing at the female while his free arm wrapped possessively around the brunette's arm.
Jacob smiled indulgently, kissing the top of his blonde head. "Don't worry, she's no competition to you, gorgeous. She'll never understand just how deep an imprint is, or how it feels to run as a wolf. Besides, she has a leech as a boyfriend. I really don't know what I saw in her before."
"Still irritates me." Cloud murmured, tilting his head and begging with his huge, innocent eyes for a kiss. With a chuckle, the Quillete Indian humored him, ignoring the girl's surprised gasp. He looked up and feigned surprise.
"Oh! Bella, I didn't think you would make it. I'd like to introduce you to my Imprint, Cloud Strife. Cloud, this is Isabella Swan, my childhood friend." He gestured between the two, but his smile was only for the blonde by his side.
Sunny caught the innuendo, noticing he didn't introduce the girl as his current friend, not just his childhood friend. She smirked almost evilly at that and pushed her way forward. "I'm Sunny, Cloud's twin sister. So, what are you doing here? I thought this was a meeting just for 'wolves." She gave an entirely too innocent smile to the girl, who looked like she'd just been mowed down by a monster truck.
Seriously, Sunny should know what that expression looked like. That was one of the funniest memories in her life.
Billy Black cleared his throat, but his eyes showed amusement as well. "Jacob invited her since she ties into the Cold Ones part of our history. She is involved with a vampire that lives on the other side of town, who is part of a coven that only drinks the blood of animals."
The young Seth moved a bit closer to the main group, ignoring his sister's warning glance. His round amber eyes were fixed on the tall, dark, spiky-haired werewolf with a mixture of fascination and confusion.
Zack's eyes narrowed at the oldes Black's words. "You live that close to a coven of vampires? Damn, that doesn't sound safe at all. Hey, would feeding on a werewolf count as feeding on an animal, or a human?"
Seth gave a small laugh at that, even closer than before. Now he was less than five feet away from the enthusiastic ravenette.
Sunny blinked for a moment as she went through his words in her mind, having been watching the sandy-haired teen curiously, then reached over and slapped him on the back of his head. "Puppy, if it really matters to you, then go ask them. I'll tell whoever makes your tombstone to inscribe 'Curiosity was framed, and the cat faked it. Stupidity killed the Puppy."
The ravenette pouted and turned towards the closest of the La Push pack. "Aw, you see what I've had to put up with ever since I Turned? I feel so hated, all the time!" He leaned over dramatically onto the shorter, suddenly extremely confused Seth. Both then froze as a jolt of electricity singed their nerves and a feeling of joyous exuberance rushed through their bodies, minds, hearts, even souls.
Meanwhile, the blonde girl scowled. "Damnit, not Zack too! You've gotta be fucking kidding me, Cloud being a lovebird is way more than enough! I'll drown in the cotton candy and hearts!" She crossed her arms grumpily, then looked over as the formerly smirking Indian doubled over laughing.
She darted over and grabbed his neck to squeeze, and silence blanketed both groups of werewolves. Even the newly Imprinted couple glanced over, their eyes especially huge as the sinewy man straightened up slowly, eyes locked on the prettiest pair of sky blue, fiery eyes he had ever seen. Nothing mattered except that person, because deep down, she was the only person he would ever care about on that deep of a level. He would be nice for her, as hard as that would be for him.
She gave a little laugh. "Well, I guess the cloying fluffiness won't kill me if I'm in on it." She admitted, a tiny smile on lips that begged Paul to kiss them. So he did. And nobody was more surprised than Sunny herself that she didn't slap the shit out of him.
Okay, so I'm trying to make it to where everybody's Imprint is different than the others, which is why Zack and Seth, and Sunny and Paul only Imprinted with touch. Different couples would feel the Imprint differently, right?
