When I was a little girl, I always thought of how cool it would be to be a superhero.

I always admired Wonder Woman- she was strong, courageous, beautiful, and smart. She had that magical rope with her all the time so that whenever she caught a villain and needed information, she would use the lasso, tie them up, and make sure he or she was telling the truth.

Wonder Woman was someone every woman wanted to be and someone every man wanted to have.

Of course, I grew up and realized that I can never be her- like Jacob said, I am only human.

Humans do not posses the ability of super strength, fly, run extremely fast like the Flash, have the latest technology like Bruce Wayne (Batman), walk through walls, are a mutant with special powers, or morph.

In reality, none of that exists.

But we all dream about it since it's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting (1).

We all wish that something out of the norm can happen to us at least once in our daily lives.

The little kid that is an all of our hearts dreams of having a superhero. Of course with superheroes comes with villains. They could be psychotic people or creepy creatures.

But a werewolf?

Those exist?

Werewolves are supposed to be bad, but why is Embry one?

Werewolves change every full moon, but why did he change?

Werewolves are savage and ugly, but why is he kind and beautiful?

I was confused and I was in shock. Embry was in front of me, nude, and all I could do was stare at his face hoping it wasn't real and that it was true.

He stared back at me and whispered my name softly.

"No," I whispered back, "you're not supposed to exist."

He stepped a bit closer, his hand was stretched out towards me. "Evey, please-"

Fear crept up from behind me and took over me. I wrapped my arms around me to stop myself from shaking. "You're supposed to be a myth, just creepy bedtime stories to scare us."

Embry inched closer to me and shook his head. "Evelyn, you know the Quileute legends-"

I was backing away from him until my back hit a tree. "Exactly, they're just legends-"

"Evelyn, please let me explain," He tried to cup my face in his hand, but I turned away with my eyes shut so that I would not look into his eyes.

"No."

He let out a heavy sigh. "Please, Evelyn, at least hear me out, you do not have to look at me."

"You don't have to explain, I know the Quileute legends."

"Then," he hesitated, "will you look at me?"

I stifled a sob. "No."

"Evelyn," he sounded like I punched him in the gut a thousand times.

"Shut up."

"Please-"

"No."

Embry was crying, I could hear the quick intakes of breathe he was taking and heard his quivering, cracked voice. "Just please-"

"No!" I ran away from him and left him there, in the woods alone.

As I was getting closer to the house, I heard the most anguish cry of a wolf.

His cry tore me into pieces.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Every Saturday morning I usually get up, still in my PJs mind you, get myself a bowl of corn pops, and go to the living room and watch re-runs of Teen Titans, but if the episodes bore me I watch re-runs of Supernatural.

But this morning I did not even bother to get out of bed. I stayed there entranced by the ceiling fan.

Was last night a dream?

Obviously it wasn't because I cried the whole night. I couldn't sleep.

For the love of God, how can anyone sleep if they find out that the person they love is a werewolf?

No one can know about this. If word got out that werewolves exist, how will the world take it?

I mean, I can barely comprehend it myself.

It is illogical and probably crazy.

But the Quileute legends explain it all. It is true.

So does that mean that there are more werewolves?

How many are there?

Who can they be?

Before Embry was the way he is now, he used to be lanky and was average height.

Of course that changed during our sophomore year. I just never noticed him until now….

During our sophomore year everyone was talking about Sam and his gang. Jared and Paul were in it.

Everyone began to change; I heard that Embry got sucked into the whole gang idea by Sam; at least that was what Jacob told me and Kim.

Then Quil got into it, I remember Jacob being pretty mad about that as well.

Jacob always told us that if Sam approached him and wanted him to join, he would hands down say 'no' and leave.

But he stayed with Sam too not long after Quil joined.

Kim was worried about him, but I was kind of angry at him for going back on his word.

I was also angry at all of them because they would all get mad if we dared to even look at them.

Then Leah, Brady, Collin, and Seth joined.

It all happened during our sophomore year. Then Kim began to date Jared in the middle of our junior year.

But how are they all connected?

Well for one, they are friends with Embry. That much was obvious.

"C'mon Evey, Embry and I have been friends since we were kids. He tells me everything."

Embry tells Jacob everything. Embry, Jacob, and Quil are a trio, so maybe they know Embry's secret.

And they all changed around the same time. They all got abnormally taller in just a matter of weeks and extremely well built.

When they get extremely mad, they begin to shake a little……

And they growl.

Like a wolf.

And Jared and Paul are the same. They might have not gotten along with the trio when they were younger, but they sure do now.

So they are all werewolves too.

But what about Sam?

Why was he recruiting them for his gang?

Why is he leader?

I think he knows the secret too, since he is part of the council. He also knows the legend.

Why is he leading the group?

It's not like he is the alpha of his little pack.

Or is he?

So, if Sam is the leader of a pack of wolves, he is the alpha.

I sat up straight in my bed. "He is the alpha," I whispered.

And he is engaged to Emily, does she know?

Unless….

"Evelyn, you know the Quileute legends…."

I threw the covers away from me and sprinted downstairs to my mother's bookcase in her office.

I found the book I needed and the word I needed to confirm my theory about Emily.

Imprint.

All wolves imprint.

With just one look of their soul mates eyes, they both feel connected and complete.

That explains Sam and Emily.

Does it also apply to Jared and Kim?

I sat on my mother's chair, logged on to her computer and went on Facebook.

Pictures of Kim and I were everywhere.

She is my best friend and she kept a secret from me.

She knew all of this, yet she still kept me in the dark.

I should have seen the signs of the guys, or better yet, I should have been suspicious all along, but I wasn't.

I hate being very dismissive.

I logged out and signed into IM.

Kim had already been on.

As soon as she saw me on, she IMed me.

Kimberly-Lynn: You know now, don't you?

I knew what she was talking about, but I was still too scared to come to terms with this.

Kimberly-Lynn: You left him alone Evelyn. How could you?

With that I snapped. How could I? How could I?! She had no right to shame me!

Sonny-Eve: Like you're one to talk Kim.

Kimberly-Lynn: Excuse me? What are you going on about?

Sonny-Eve: You knew all this time, but you couldn't tell me?

Kimberly-Lynn: Evelyn, I couldn't tell you.

Sonny-Eve: Why? Because of Jared? Best friends are always first than boyfriends Kim! Don't you remember? Or has Jared taken complete control over your life?

Kimberly-Lynn: Evelyn! Don't say such nonsense, they are all here and would like to know how you're doing.

Sonny-Eve: Oh, well now that is just fucking fantastic. You and I have no privacy anymore? Well then, let them all read this: GO CHEW SOME FUCKING BONE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!

Kimberly-Lynn: Evelyn! Stop it, this isn't you!

Sonny-Eve: Oh wow, Kim, go cry me a freaking river. I don't care anymore. Did you read that Jared? You can have her now, she's all yours. I don't care anymore.

I quickly logged off. I was crying uncontrollably again. I felt an array of emotions overcome me; anger, sadness, confusion, disbelief.

All of them probably hate me right now, especially Jared. Jared might bite my head off if he ever saw me.

I quickly wiped the tears off my face and dashed toward the front door and locked it. I went everywhere around the house to lock all windows and doors.

I did not want them to bite my head off.

I was angry at them, sure, but I was mostly terrified of them.

What are they capable of doing?

I was snapped out of my thoughts when the phone rang. I went in the kitchen and checked the caller ID.

It was Jared.

I began to hyperventilate.

What are they going to do to me now that I have found out their secret?

Kill me?

Panic surged right through me as quick as lightning. My heart began to pound faster than normal and I was shaking convulsively, my teeth were chattering, and I was having short of breath.

Relax, I repeated to myself over and over again, no one can hurt or touch you.

I couldn't handle it anymore. I went to the kitchen and got some of my medication that I take for emergencies if something like this ever happens.

As soon as I swallowed the pills, I began to feel drowsy instantly and I began to lose my line of vision.

I got up slowly and headed toward the living room groggily. I lay down on the couch and immediately lost consciousness.

I slept for a whole day and a half.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I wish I slept the whole day today as well so that I didn't have to face the music.

As soon as I parked my car, I noticed that Kim and the rest of the guys were all looking at me. Kim with the look of betrayal, and the boys with the look of savagery. Embry looked hurt.

Of course they look savage, they are freaks.

I quickly made my way towards the school and tried to begin my daily routine.

Gabriel waiting by my locker was first.

"Hey babe, how was your weekend?"

I turned toward him and by the look of my face; he could tell it wasn't very good.

Gabriel actually winced and moved back a little. "Whoa," he whispered, "had some scary nightmares?"

"No, but I wish they were nightmares," I told him.

He began to look around and I asked, "What the hell are you doing?"

He turned to me and thought I was loosing my mind, "Looking for any of your bodyguards, by now, they would have pushed me out of your way."

And then he smiled, "I guess not today."

I was getting suspicious of his actions, "Okay, you're not harassing me. What's going on?"

"Oh. I have a girlfriend now."

I raised an eyebrow, "Yet you still call me 'babe'? Wouldn't your girlfriend get mad?"

"No. Well for now she wouldn't. Just came here to tell you that I'm not going to chase you anymore and that you're no longer mine."

This guy is clearly a psycho.

"Umm," I hesitated in replying, "okay. Great."

"Alright. Sorry for annoying you."

I forced a smile, "Hey it was alright."

And then he walked away.

So my routine is not a routine anymore.

At least my life is going to get a bit more normal.

"Evey," I turned and saw Kim. A little further down was Jared and the rest of the cult.

Obviously they're here to protect her.

I looked at her and then walked past her and purposely bumped her shoulder. "Watch where you're going," was all I said before Jared yelled, "Quit being a bitch!"

Paul and Jacob were trying to restrain Jared from loosing control.

"Oh God," I began to say and then I yelled loud enough for the students in the hall to hear, "Can someone please give this mutt his chew toy so that he can shut up?!"

In the inside I was hurting- I desperately wanted to hang out with them, but I was terrified.

What if they hurt me? That was my recurring thought.

I walked past them and headed to my class.

Today was going to be a long day.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After a stressful day today, I headed to the parking lot towards my car.

I was driving home and was contemplating on what to do for Kim's birthday.

Oh right, I forgot, we're not talking.

I'll mail her something- I am not that cold.

I did not want to go inside the house yet so I went into the woods.

The same woods I last saw Embry.

I sat on a big boulder.

Starring at nothing but-

"The ground. It's not that interesting, I can tell you that, love."

The voice was soothing and handsome. Yet it made the hairs of the back of my neck stand up.

I looked up and saw a breathtakingly, gorgeous young man. He had the palest skin, the darkest shade of black hair I have ever seen, he looked perfect.

But his red eyes told me that he wasn't normal.

Author's Note:

(1)- the quote was not mine but Paulo Coelho's. So do not think that I stole it. I decided to put the quote because I thought that it was true; everyone wants their dreams to come true and when they do, doesn't it seem surreal? It's hard to believe that it actually came true that it is scary.

So if you guys are confused of Evelyn's actions please forgive me. She is just terrified. Wouldn't you be scared if werewolves do exist? I know I would be. Everything she is doing may seem weird and probably frustrating to you, but understand that it's her fear talking, not the real Evey we know and love.

Don't worry, she'll come to her senses soon, she can't live without Embry remember? She knows about imprinting but does not know that she too is an imprint. She is a smart little girl, but not when it comes to her; she's a little oblivious.

Well, I tried to update as soon as I could and ta-da! Here is the chapter! Thank you cheerleading847 for telling me that I should add more details. I hope this chapter had more details than the previous chapters. I am still working on my writing skills, so I'm sorry if they do not come out all that great. Please review!
