I was walking through the forest behind my house. The sun was setting on the horizon, and it was getting dark fast. I knew these woods pretty well, I the light, but nothing looked familiar in the dark. There was a rustling in the bushes.

"Hello? Is there anyone there?"

No one replied.

"Helllloooo?"

Then, a huge rusty brown wolf emerged from the woods. It was at least 7 feet tall on all fours. Its eyes were dark brown, but they glowed in the light of the sunset. It seemed so familiar. It walked towards me, but I backed away. It's not like I was going to let some strange, huge wolf walk up to me, I mean it could have attacked me at any second. It bowed its head, like it was sad, sad because I didn't recognize it. it looked harmless enough, and I didn't want to upset it, so I reached out my hand and took a step towards it. It looked up, and walked right up to me, so we were face to face. I put my hand on its snout, and seeing that this didn't upset it, I petted its nose.

It walked up next to me and lied down. I realized I was cold, very cold. The sun had gone down. I looked at it confused, and it gestured its head towards its back, as though it wanted me to climb on. I was reluctant, but climbed on its back. It stood up, and started running, weaving in between the trees. At first I was frightened, but soon I realized it wanted to protect me.

Soon we came to the big evergreen where Jake, Embry, Quil and I used to play. No one knew about this place but us. This meant it could only be one of us. But which one? I don't think that Embry and Quil would be in my dreams but I never know.

"Jake?" he nodded.

Buzz. Buzz-buzz.

My phone woke me up. I had gotten a text. It had only been a dream, but it felt so real. I searched through my clothes from the previous day, going through all of the pockets, looking for my phone. I finally found it in my jeans' pocket.

"Hey Nissa, it's Jake.

Since it's so nice out today,

Embry, Quil and I are going surfing.

Since you know our secret,

and since none of us have any duties,

we want you to come with us.

Just text me if you can."

"DAD!"

"Yes Anissa?"

"Can I go surfing with Jake, Embry and Quil?"

"Yes."

"Thanks Dad!"

I texted him back.

"Sounds fun!

My dad says I can go.

I'm excited to see Quil and Em again.

Just tell me when!"

"I'll come get you at 12." He replied.

"Okay!"

I looked at the clock. It was 11:20. Knowing I had no time to shower or anything, I grabbed my stuff. I heard Jake's Rabbit pull up in front of the house. I slipped my cover up on over my bathing suit and ran out the door, sliding my shoes on.

"Hey Jake."

"Hey Nissa. We haven't been surfing since last summer. And that was like… 7, 8, 9 months ago."

"Haha. I love how you have to count it out. I know it's been so long."

So we headed out to get Quil and Embry. They were both happy that I was coming, and that I knew so they could actually talk to me again, about everything, well at least almost everything. I felt like there was something they were holding back.

"So Jake, what all have you told Nissa?" Embry asked.

"All he's told me is that you guys are all werewolves." I replied for him.

"Really? That's all he's said?" Quil said.

"Yep. You guys should tell me more about it."

"Well, most of us only phase, that's when we change into wolves, when we're mad or really emotional." Em said.

"But Jake can change on the dot! It's pretty cool, once he phased mid-jump." Quil continued.

"Wow. So what else is there to know?"

"Well, all of us have to obey the alpha's, that's Sam, orders. It's impossible not to. That's why Jake couldn't tell you. Oh, and when we're in wolf form, we can hear each other's thoughts." Em said.

"Oh, yeah! And imprinting!" Quil said.

"Okay guys, I think that's enough info. These are trade secrets." Jake said.

"Wait, what is imprinting? And why did Sam let you tell me?" I asked.

"Well imprinting, is when a wolf finds his or her soul mate. It like causes you physical pain when you're away from them for too long. Apparently, it's like gravity flips, and the only thing holding you down, is your imprint. Most of us haven't imprinted, Quil and I haven't." Embry explained.

"Wait, you said you and Quil haven't. Does that mean… Jake?"

"Ummm… Yes?" He said, nervously.

"You've imprinted? You've found your soul mate?"

"Well…"

"Yeah he has, he just hasn't told anyone who it is. He's also good at keeping his thoughts to himself. He said it feels like your flying off the ground, then your pulled back. I think Emily, Sam's fiancée, said that the imprint could feel it too. It just depends on relationship between the imprintee and the imprinter." Embry said.

"Wait, the imprint can feel it too?"

"I think so."

"Well, I felt that way once, like gravity flipped and then something was pulling me back… It was at Tammy's wedding, when I saw… Jake?"
