Chapter 2

It was sunny when she woke. She had been there for a week now. Spring break was just starting. She came fully away when she heard voices downstairs. She recognized Jacob, Sam's and her uncles, but she didn't recognize anyone else. She touched the wall and seen three other boys that she had never met before. She searched through the history of the house and learned that one was Embry, who used to hang out with Jacob and another boy. There were also two other boys that had rarely been in the house till recently. One of the boys made Mary stop searching. He was tall, though not as tall as Jacob or Sam. He was sort of stalky, though not too much. His hair was cropped short and he was scowling.

She pulled her hand away and got dressed. As she was walking down the stairs she noticed that the voices weren't as loud anymore. It looked like Billy was off fishing. so she pulled out a bowl and a box of cereal.

Jacob was standing in the yard discussing patrol schedules with the boys when he heard his cousin getting something to eat.

"Hey, when we going to meet this cousin of yours? We've seen her in your head, but haven't met her in person." Jared asked.

Jacob rolled his eyes. "Really, Jared. You have Kim. Must you harass my cousin. She's just a tiny little thing, but she drives you crazy as hell. She never sits still."

"Come on....." Embry begged. Jacob looked at Sam who sighed but nodded. Jacob bounded up the porch steps and into the house.

Mary was just finishing when Jacob came into the house. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hey, haven't seen you all week. Off gallivanting with those friends of yours?" She asked. She was really curious of that one boy. Jacob gave her a forced smile and nodded.

"Yeah, um....they're outside if you want to meet them. Since your going to be around for a while, I mean."

She nodded and bounced out of her seat and put her bowl in the sink. He laughed at her enthusiasm. Really, she never had any friends. She like meeting new people. Since she knew that she belonged here, she wasn't going to be shy or stick to herself.

Jacob led her out onto the porch where four other boys were waiting. They all turned at the same time to look at her. She looked them over. They all almost looked the same. Like brothers. But one was staring at her with his mouth hanging open. He looked almost in shock. It was the one boy she was the most curious about. No one other than her noticed. Jacob took her hand and led her down to where they were standing in the front yard.

"Guys, this is my cousin, Mary. Mary, you already met Sam. So this is Jared, Embry and....Paul?" He hesitated after looking at the shocked boy. So Paul was his name. She squeezed Jacobs hand and looked into the future. She got a glimpse of someone explaining imprinting to him. It was like finding your other half. Who you were meant to be with. You couldn't live without them. She suppressed a grin. This extremely hott guy was her soul-mate.

Sam put his hand on Paul's shoulder and whispered something to him. Paul, who seemed to be functioning on automatic, nodded and headed towards the forest. Sam then turned back to them with a forced smile.

"Sorry, he isn't feeling very well."

Mary nodded and broke out in a wide smile and bounced on her heals. "I'm so glad to meat the rest of you. I mean, I've been stuck in this house for a week now, and I'm just so bored. But I'm really excited to get to know Jacob's friends."

They all looked at her in almost awe of her energy. One of the boys, Embry looked at Jacob. "Is she always like this?"

Jacob let out a laugh and picked up Mary and put her on his shoulder. She squealed and grabbed onto what was left of his cropped hair.

"Yes, she is. She almost gave me a heart attack the day after she arrived. I thought I was going to have to tie her down."

Jared broke out in a grin. "I like her. She's amusing. I think Kim and Emily would too."

Mary scrunched up her face. She didn't see a Kim or Emily. They laughed at her confusion. "Emily is my Fiancé, and Kim is Jared's girlfriend." Sam explained.

"Ahhh. Ohhhh." She squealed and the boys put their hands over their ears. Jacob almost dropped her.

"Girls! I can go shopping! No one ever wants to go with me." She pouted.

"Well, what do you say we take you to meet the girls. I think Kim is with Emily now." Jacob said and looked at Sam. Mary also turned to Sam, who she knew was the Alpha and therefor the boss, and gave him her best puppy dog eyes. Sam took one look at her groaned, and hung his head.

"Fine. Let's go. Jacob, you better keep a hold on her. It might be faster if she isn't bouncing all over the place."

"Hey, I resent that. I am perfectly capable of walking you know."

Sam shot her a look that told her he doubted it. She glared at him. He had to stop himself from cringing under the glare. Who knew a tiny girl could be so scary.

Jacob set her on the porch when they got to the little yellow house. As she was walking through the door, she put her hand on the door frame. She stumbled under the force of visions and emotions that were in the house. She let go and pasted a chipper smile on her face and walked through the door.

Mary saw that Sam and Jared were already in the kitchen kissing their respective women when she came in. She also saw that Paul was sitting at the kitchen table with his head in his hands.

Everyone looked at her with calculating eyes when she came in. But she surprised everyone by bouncing over to Emily and bringing her in for a hug.

"Hi, you must be Emily. Of course, you wouldn't be anyone else, but Emily, since I very much doubt that Sam would ever be kissing anyone else but Emily like that. Anyway, I'm Mary Anne. You can call me Mary, or Anne, or really anything else. Ooohhh, you have such beautiful hair!" Mary said while she ran a tiny hand through Emily's hair. The latter of which was staring at the tiny girl in shock and awe. "Oh, the possibilities."

Mary then bounced over to Kim who was giving her a shy smile. Mary looked at her and smiled. "You have very beautiful eyes. Come, you two. We have so much work to do. Oh you need your hair done and some make up. Yes some make up and ohhh we must go shopping. And we can paint our nails."

Her voice trailed off as she drug the girls down the hall and out of sight. All the boys looked to each other and then to Paul, who groaned and buried his head farther in his hands.

"What have I gotten myself into."

They all laughed and slapped him on the back. Sam cleared his throat and looked at them.

"Well, since Paul imprinted on Mary, we should tell her. There is a bon fire tonight to welcome Jacob and Embry. Also Kim as an imprint, so we'll have her come then see how she reacts. We'll tell her it's all true after we come back here."

They all nodded and hoped everything went as planned.

Sorry so short. It's one of the shorter chapters. It gets longer.
