Chapter 5 – Enemies

(Paul's POV)

I patrolled through the woods, letting trees, leaves, and rocks blend together in my vision, loosing myself in the task at hand. Excuse me, the task at paw. I saw the same images in my brothers' minds, endless seas of brown and green. As far as we knew, there was no danger. Nonetheless, at least one wolf was patrolling at a time. We were all still on red alert after the Volturi's visit.

The only sounds were the rustling of new spring leaves, the wet squish of soil under steadily beating paws, and the songs of returning birds. I wasn't usually one for romanticized thoughts of spring, but it still was a nice day.

My thoughts were suddenly shattered as Jacob's mental roars of anger penetrated my mind. Through his eyes, I saw the source of the unbridled rage that had taken him. In a far away meadow, a white wolf was circling his Nessie, trying to take her. Nessie was in danger and so, as brothers, we would save her. For Jacob to lose her would hurt us all. We were hers, just has he was hers.

Though I doubted that anyone, including this wolf, could defeat Jacob, it was my duty to help. I took a sharp turn and shot off towards the meadow. Embry, who was also patrolling, saw the same thing. His body shook with anticipation. He let out a howl, calling out our brothers to the battle.

As I ran, I saw the beginning of the fight playing out in my own mind. Jacob's thoughts were split between two things. He tracked the strange white wolf's every move, but Nessie was never out of his sight. She must never be hurt. The white she-wolf paced in front of Nessie, trying to claim her. Little did the she-wolf know the child had been claimed in the most powerful way the world had. Furious and lost in his own savagery, my brother shot towards the she-wolf.

In a resonating crash, their bodies collided. White and red-brown flew around the clearing, claws and teeth flashing indistinguishably. Snarls, growling, and roars blocked out all other sounds. I then realized, as I watched the battle, that I had underestimated this white wolf. She was huge! Bigger than any wild lone wolf we had ever encountered. She was our own size! Strike for strike, the two of them were matched evenly, neither gaining the advantage. We may have been trained for battle, but this wolf was no stranger to instinct and the ways of the wild. She fought with the brutality of a ferocious beast. I ran faster; this would take more than just one.

As I neared the clearing, I saw Nessie's back. She had her hands up, and I could hear her pleading, though the individual words were drowned out by the chaos in front of her. I shot past her into the clearing, now catching full view of the raging duel. I could make out neither wolf, just a blend of color, as they fought.

Suddenly, the world seemed to slow. The she-wolf caught sight of her opponent's reinforcements (Embry now stood behind me) and stepped away from Jacob. Her piercing, icy blue eyes met mine, stared deep into the darkest recesses of my soul. My burning heart flipped and changed in my chest.

The world around the beautiful nameless wolf became dark, and she was the light in the center, shining like the moon. The trees, the wind, the planets and stars, the very atoms of the earth switched direction, revolving around this one creature. She was the reason I was born, the reason I lived and fight, the force stronger than gravity that held me to this earth. I knew then I loved her and I wanted to be hers for always. She was my imprint.

Off in a distant world, far from the paradise I was in at that moment, I heard my brother's voice.

Shit, thought Embry.

Oh, cliff hanger! So tell me what you think! Seriously, if you want certain things to happen in the story, let me know! I love reviews! They're what I live for! Okay, well not really, but you get the drift. Hope you liked it. REVIEW!
