EPOV!
Within one second I was owned. I had imprinted on Violet.
I didn't know what to do. My mind knew what had happened but my body hadn't registered yet. I couldn't move. We stared into each other's eyes for what must have seemed like forever. I searched through her bright green eyes, and what I found was disturbing. I saw a troubled soul, who held a secret. A secret I swore to myself I would obsess over until I found out what it was and fixed it. I would never let anything harm this goddess.
Jared had turned to face me, knowing I should have made some remark by now. I broke eye contact with Violet, and turned to look Jared in the eyes. The moment I did, he knew everything. His eyes softened and he nodded ever so slightly.
I was so grateful to Kim during that moment, for she broke the silence.
"Violet, this is my boyfriend, Jared, and this is his friend Embry." Kim said, completely unaware of the connections that had been made. Jared held out his hand and Violet took it and barely shook it. She turned to me and I held out my hand. She took it and barely grasped my hand. Her soft touch was all it took to make my heart beat a little faster. She let go of my hand almost as fast as she had taken it. She just stood there like a little statue. It bothered me. No normal person acted this way. There was something bothering her, and it was deep.
"Hi." She whispered. She wouldn't look my in the eyes anymore. I couldn't stop staring at her. She was so beautiful. She had long, dark brown hair. It hung in ringlets, but it wasn't curly. Her skin was on the darker side, like Kim's but a much lighter tone. Her lips were full and pouty, perfect for kissing. She had little hands, and a small figure.
"So are we going to head to Emily's or what?" Jared said. I came back down to earth.
"Yeah, let's go. Is there enough room for all of us in your truck, Jared?" I asked. He had a thoughtful look on his face. He winked at me.
"No, I don't think so, Em. Hey, Kim, you don't mind if Embry drives your car do you? You can ride with me." He said wiggling his eyebrows. I saw Violet glance at Kim and bite her lip. Kim had worry lines on her forehead. I pondered over that.
"Uh, let us go get something real fast then we'll be ready to go, ok?" Kim said, then took Violet upstairs.
Jared looked at me.
"Dude! Congrats! I can't believe you imprinted on Kim's cousin!" He said smiling. I grinned.
"Yeah, I'm happy. But I have a weird feeling. Like some vibe that comes off of her. Like she has a dark secret and only a few people know what it is. Did you notice how she cringes whenever someone moves, gets closer to her? And how she won't look you in the eyes?" I got lost in thought. Jared stared at me with his mouth open.
"You got all that from looking at her?" He asked me, bewildered.
"Yeah. I guess I did." I heard the girls coming back downstairs.
"Ok! We're back. Jared, I'm going to ride with you. Embry, Violet is going to ride with you. Be careful, ok?" She said looking at me.
Seriously, be careful. There are things you don't know. Her eyes spoke to me. I nodded. She smiled. We all walked outside. I held open the door for Violet.
"Thanks.." She mumbled. I saw her face turn a shade darker. I shut the door, and walked over to Kim's car. I opened the door for Violet and shut it when she got in.
This should be fun..
VPOV!
When Jared suggested that I ride with Embry every memory of Jordan came flooding back to me. He wasn't as big as Embry, but I was afraid of him. You could only imagine the things that went through my mind. I looked over to Kim and my eyes widened. She understood immediately.
"Uh, let us go get something real fast then we'll be ready to go, ok?" Kim said. I followed her up the stairs. When we got up there I looked at her and nearly started crying again.
"You will be perfectly fine with Embry, Vi. I swear. I wouldn't leave you alone with him If I didn't trust him. He's like a giant.. puppy." She smiled to herself as if it was some little private joke.
"So you're sure he won't hurt me?" I whispered.
"Of course not. He may joke around of course. But he wouldn't lay a hand on you, ever. He doesn't even know you. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Remember, I'm a phone call away, and I'll be in the car in front of you." And with that, she went back downstairs.
"Ok! We're back. Jared, I'm going to ride with you. Embry, Violet is going to ride with you. Be careful, ok?" Kim looked at Embry. I couldn't see her expression but I saw him nod slightly.
I walked out behind Kim, while Embry held the door open for me. My heart melted. When we went to the car, before I could touch the door, Embry had it opened, waiting for me to get in. I sat in the seat and waited on him.
He got in, started the car, and we were off. We sat in silence for the first little bit. I decided to be brave and try to get to know him, since I would be staying here for awhile.
"Um, are you and Jared brothers?" I asked.
Embry looked startled, as if he didn't expect me to speak.
"You could say that. We aren't blood related but we're close like brothers." He answered.
"So you and Kim are cousins. Have you ever been here before?" He asked.
"I used to come down every summer and Christmas. But my parents stopped coming. My mom was a Quilete but she couldn't stand the Rez. So she up and left and found my dad, and they got married." I said.
Embry nodded.
"So why did you come up here all of a sudden?" He asked me. I played with my fingers.
I took in a deep breath. Should I tell him? Or not? I would have to spend a little more time with him to see if I could trust him.
"Just wanted to visit." Embry looked at me. I met his eyes. He was searching. He knew I was lying.
He didn't make a comment, but we pulled up in a driveway.
"Welcome to Emily's and Sam's. Get ready for a houseful of big bulky boys, and a bunch of girls." He smiled down at me.
And without even catching myself, I found that I smiled a genuine smile back.
Aww! How cute? I love these two together!
Please oh please review??
