Questions asked and answered by reviewers:
Beware The Duck Apocalypse
1) Why does Max call Bella "Blondie"? I thought she had black hair... - Well (Due to my own mistake) Bella was actually meant to have blonde hair in this fanfiction, i will post something soon that will give you a bit of a Bella in this fanfiction description.
2) Was the bit where Bella has a sort of "OMG PAUL!" moment something to do do with the imprint? - Yes, Bella does in fact have an OMG Paul moment and it is because of the imprint taking hold of her. An imprint works by the first time the imprint and imprintee connect eyes there is an immediate bond in place, tying said spirit warrior to his soul mate and vice versa.

1) And still not quite clear, is Sam Flint, Sam Uley or is there a second person? - Sam Flint is NOT Sam Uley, two separate beings/people. Samuel Uley will live a long and happy life with Emily Young throughout this fanfiction, Samuel Flint will DIE soon, within the next two or so chapters, they are two different people. If this is still not clear let me know and I will go back and change his name, sorry for the confusion.
Previously
Sue looked sheepish and hit Seth hard on the head with the wooden spoon and Leah just look… unsurprised at her brother's antics. She raised her eyebrow at me and shrugged; showing she either didn't care that I had be 'found' or that there was nothing she could do about her brother. I found myself liking her more than her brother at that moment.
"He doesn't have a verbal filter." She offered at me, smirking
Bella's Pov
I smirked back at her and grabbed a cinnamon roll from the plate and sat down next her, across the table from Paul with Seth to his left. He also gave me a look of… understanding and cuffed Seth on the back of the head, earning a scathing glance from Seth. We finished up breakfast and looked to where my bag was sitting on the ground, I yearned to go onto my laptop and… keep my mind occupied but I also knew I should offer at least to help out with the washing up; it was only manners after all. I got up quietly and spied a dish washer and cracked it opened to see it was full of clean dishes, I sighed and got out the dish cloth and began putting dishes away. When it was done I looked to see Sue looking at me with… awe or something along those lines.
"How did you know where everything went?" She asked
"I watched you this morning when you were cooking… pretty simple actually." I shrugged; it was in my nature to be observant but also in my training to be critical to every little detail, right down to the last small scratch in the top of the dining table. In my profession if you didn't notice things like that it usually meant life or death, so… you took notice of things. Just like I heard Paul walk outside into the yard, I knew he didn't think I noticed him leave.
"Well that's very good of you Bella, thank you." Sue nodded giving me a thankful look as I began stacking the dishwasher again for her as she flitted around the dinner table scraping scraps into container and putting them in the fridge for leftovers
I heard the water turn on upstairs and the soft padding of feet on the stairs, coming down it seemed, so that meant Seth was in the shower. I saw Leah re-emerge from the stair well with clothes for the day on, jean shorts and a tee shirt. She looked me over once more, nodded and walked off outside. I felt like somehow I had her approval, and that pleased me. I pulled my laptop back out and sat on the couch that was facing a wall so I didn't have to worry about prying eyes and… occupied my time with research even though I didn't need it. Paul and Leah walked back in and I watched them interact, I could tell that Leah was more like a sister to Paul and she saw him as a brother as well, I found myself flooded with happiness. I pulled my headphones and looked down but felt Paul's gaze burn into my body. A while later I heard a throat clear and looked up to see Sue standing with Paul and Leah in front of me, I pulled my head phones off.
"Leah and Paul are going to take you their friends house, that's okay right, there isn't much for you to do here anyway."
"His friend's house," Leah growled at her mother and I watched her reaction, I could see hurt spiralling out of control behind her brown eyes "Not mine."
I shrugged and snapped my laptop shut and hung my headphones around my neck. I grabbed my backpack and said thanks to Sue before we walked out, I noticed tiny tremors travel up Leah's arms before she shook them out and they stopped. I was familiar with those tremors… I was prone to angry outburst and I found my arms taking a lot of the strain as an output to try and calm myself down. I kept walking with my head down; taking note of everything that I thought needed a mental note of.
"You were never quite as a kid," Leah said suddenly "… what changed?"
I let out a snort and gave her a 'really' look. "I thought what I said to you brother was pretty self-explanatory."
"So it was bad then." Leah nodded, peering across at me
"No…" I said sarcastically "They fed me rainbows and happiness all day long."
Leah shrugged, "Just getting the full picture so I can ovoid treading on toes, you know."
I shrugged back and we walked up onto a porch, I took in a deep sniff and felt my mouth water, whatever was in that house smelt like a million dollars.
I heard Leah and Paul who was walking on my left say "That's Emily's cooking… she is like a kitchen legend…"
Leah gave a grunt and walked in, I followed last, taking a minute to marvel at Paul's impressive shoulders and back before I snapped myself from my… distracting thoughts.
"Emily," Paul boomed as we walked into a very open "I brought a newbie… she's Charlie's daughter."
I saw a head poke out of the walk in pantry and she gave me a smile before she set whatever she was holding down and wrapped me in a hug. I felt myself seize up at the hug and my insides scream at me again, my muscles tensed and I took a deep breath. She pulled away with an… odd look on her face, I looked to Leah who was also giving me a weird but… smug look.
"Not a huggy person?" Emily asked, now slightly flustered looking
"No." I said in a clipped tone before I said to break the ice that had accumulated around the room "… so what is that awesome smell I can smell, I hear you are good in the kitchen?"
That seemed to appease her and she started rambling on about what she was cooking and how to feed 'the boys and Leah' she had to cook almost constantly. She was still talking when two men bounced in the back door in nothing but a pair of cut-off jeans, they gave me a look before they smiled.
"Hey… are you the Chief's daughter?" The bigger one out of the two asked… mind you they were both huge
"Yeah… everyone seems to know thought… who are you?" I sighed, I hated people knowing how I was without knowing how they were
"Oh," He said looking put out "You don't remember… we used to make mud pies when we were little."
"It has been a long time since then…" I trailed off
"Well I'm Jacob, my dad's Billy Black."
"I remember the name," I nodded "Nice to meet you… again… sort of."
"I'm Embry." the smaller one nodded shyly
"When are the rest of you's getting here?" Emily asked peering into the oven
"Give it ten minutes… Sam is struck back at work with some of the guys… you know the usual." Embry shrugged sitting down at the table with Paul and snagged a muffin from the bundle Paul had in front of him
I looked at Jacob, Embry and Paul. All of them were impressive specimens and Leah too now that I think about it, she was incredibly fit looking for a woman, I wondered briefly if they did steroids but I shrugged that theory off… their build looked all natural, not genetically built by drugs in labs. I walked back towards the door and mumbled a;
"I'll be back later."
I heard some more noises but kept walking; I walked into the town area and felt the hair on the back of my neck prickle. I only turned my head a fraction of a centimetre and could see… Paul walking where to the normal person would be their blind spot. I kept walking and yelled out so he would be able to hear me;
"I can see you Paul… quit pretending you are Mr Stealth."
I saw him freeze in shock before he jogged to catch up with me.
"I wasn't… following you." He said quickly, looking everywhere but me
"Sure," I smirked "You just froze when I yelled out to you and now look guilty as hell."
"Fine," He grumbled "I was following you."
I nodded and kept walking, towards the cliffs, the one place I hadn't been in La Push yet… I just don't know why I chose to go there now of all times. I was looking over the edge at the churning waters below, I grinned, never more in that moment had I wanted to go cliff jumping so bad.
"You ever jumped?" Paul asked peering across at me
"Nope." I shook my head
"Do you want to?" Paul asked grinning back at me
"Yep." I nodded
"Today?" Paul asked
"Okay." I nodded, not moving though
Paul slipped his shorts off and stood there in his boxers, obviously waiting for me to undress. "You aren't shy are you… I mean you don't have any reason to be."
"Not normally." I said quietly to myself before I slipped my shirt off, followed by my jeans
I couldn't help the blush that raced across my skin as he gave me the once over… and wasn't discrete about it either. I stepped forwards a few steps and looked back over the edge at the churning water, calculating how and when I should land. I heard Paul gasp and I knew exactly what he was looking at, I turned to look at him but I was stopped short when I felt his burning hands trailing around and down my back. His hands were rough and burning hot, stealing every sensible thought from me. His thick but nimble fingers worked over the thick scars that littered my back, I found myself leaning back into his touch, yearning for the next sweep of his fingers. His huge hands cupped my rib cage and tugged me around, to look at him. His voice rough and husky when he spoke next, causing a shiver to travel around my body;
"I'm sorry that happened to you."
"Me too," I nodded "But… if I could I wouldn't change it, it makes me who I am now."
"You are so brave." He whispered, both of us inching impossibly closer, me looking up into his eyes slightly
I don't know how long we stood like that for but it felt so good it was unnerving, I pulled away gently, Paul giving me pained look. I walked back from him slightly and went sprinting off the cliff, pulling myself into a swan dive. I gasped at the change in temperature, I had been so hot up there with Paul, sweating almost and now the freezing cold was like needles to my skin. I took a greedy breath of water as I surfaced to see Paul looking anxiously at the water where I surfaced, a grin breaking out on his face when I waved him down. I watched as he threw himself off the cliff, whooping, a handsome smile on his face as he plummeted towards the water. He broke the surface and took a deep breath like I did, we both began swimming towards the shore silently, throwing the other a glance every now and again. We jumped twice more before we just swam around for a while when we both turned at the noise of a motor, a boat was approaching us. I noticed that Paul put himself between me and the boat as we treaded water. I peered up as it pulled up beside us, it was Charlie, Billy and Harry… embarrassing much.
