Jacob:
I followed alongside Embry as he walked towards Sam's house with a sleeping Bella in his arms. I caught her scent every now and again when the wind changed and it was the same as she always smelled but now it seemed to be a lot stronger.
I tried to block out Sam, Jared and Paul from my thoughts as I thought about how good it was now I had Bells back. We were entering Sam's back yard when I heard both Paul and Jared say they'd imprinted on Bella. My Bella. Are they fucking kidding me?
I couldn't help the loud snarl that erupted from my throat. I was just about turn and go back to them when I heard a whimper from Bella and Embry gave me a look which blatantly told me to shut the fuck up or I'd wake her. Embry had set her down on the porch and entered the house. He explained the situation to Emily and as soon as she took one look at Bella she loved her. She headed off to the bedroom and found some blankets and piled them on the kitchen floor in a little cocoon bed before Embry placed Bella back in the middle.
I phased back, not seeing much point in staying wolf here. I pulled on my shorts and headed in to the kitchen, kissing Emily on the cheek and taking up a seat on the floor beside Bella and stroking her soft head while she slept.
"She's so cute Jacob, you sure I can't keep her as a puppy instead?" Emily joked as she glanced down at Bella once again.
"If you think she's cute like that Em, you wanna see her phased, God I think she'd turn you" Embry laughed.
"Oh I am intrigued, you guys want a sandwich or something?"
"Yeah a sandwich would be great Em, best make one for the guys, I think I can hear them coming"
Jared:
We were getting close to the house now, both pushing and shoving to get there first until Sam had to order us to behave. I couldn't give a shit what Paul wants, I just wanna check Bella's okay.
Sam got ahead of us and is on the porch waiting as we emerge from the forest pulling our shorts on. We all enter the house and kiss Emily on the cheek before turning looking for Bella. It was only when I noticed Sam leaning on the fridge with an overly amused expression that I followed his line of vision. Paul and I turned at the same time to see Bella curled up in a little makeshift bed.
I couldn't help the laugh that erupted from my chest, closely followed by Sam, Jared and Embry.
"Got yourself a new puppy Em?" Sam asked with a quirk in his eyebrow.
Emily giggled to herself "Yeah I think we should keep her, she's adorable" she cooed.
"She's so tiny" I heard Paul pitch in.
"Yeah and a not much bigger person" I said.
"Maybe someone should go with her and help her phase back. If she's still tired she can take a nap upstairs or something?" Emily supplied while handing Paul a sundress and some panties.
Bella:
I woke up to feel someone scratching behind my ears. I snuggled closer to them and heard a quiet chuckle. I opened my eyes to find one of the guys crouched down in front of me holding a pile of clothes.
"Hey sleepy head, you need to go phase back so we can get you something to eat. It could take a while so it's probably best to head out now. Do you want me to come with you and show you how?"
I thought about his words for a while and then nodded my head softly. I stretched out my limbs before heading to the door which was being held open by another guy. I trotted across the yard and in to the woods behind the house.
I sat on the leafy floor of the wood and listened as the two guys explained how to change back and that it took them days to do it.
"So you've just gotta think human thoughts okay? We're gonna go and back and wait in the house so you've got some privacy"
They disappeared in to the trees and I sat trying to think of the things that made me human. Brushing my hair, going to school, hanging out with Jake and talking to my mom. I sat there for around an hour when I started to think about how much I just wanted to cook something. Minutes later I was sat on the floor naked.
I quickly stood up and pulled on the clothes, brushing them down to make myself presentable and headed back down the trail. I climbed the porch steps and heard the voices come from the kitchen.
"Maybe you should go bring her back Sam? I'm worried about her being out there on her own and it will be dark soon" a female voice drifted from the house.
"She'll be fine Em, if anything happens one of these two clowns will be out there before you know it"
"Can't believe I finally imprint and I get stuck with the fucking man whore of Washington! For fucks sake!"
"Yeah well I ain't exactly happy about sharing with you either dickhead. Anyway she's probably gonna realize I'll be more than enough for her and then you'll be fucked." another man said, his voice clearly sounding smug.
I stepped carefully in to the kitchen doorway and leant against it, watching the crowd at the table and cleared my throat quietly.
Emily:
I heard a quiet noise come from the back door and both Paul and Jared were out of their seats towards the door, pulling her towards the empty seat between them.
"Well, I didn't think we'd see you until tomorrow night, never mind an hour after I sent you out there. How are you feeling Bella?" Sam asked quietly.
"I'm good thanks, a little tired and really hungry" she replied.
I looked the girl over and Embry was not wrong. This girl was gorgeous. Long chestnut hair which fell in curls, pale skin for a Quileute but it was flawless and she was extremely petite. She was at least two inches smaller than me, I wonder why she didn't grow majorly like the guys. She looks like she could break if you hugged her too tight.
"So Bella, as you know this Embry and Jake, I'm Sam, this is my fiancée Emily and next to you is Paul and Jared, we are the Protectors of La Push along with yourself now. We're happy to have you. Are there any questions you wish to ask us about our lifestlye?"
She looked up and nervously glanced between Jared and Paul "Yeah, um, what's an imprint?"
