The boys from yesterday were all in class today. The one that had caused the others to run off sat next to me in my first period math class.

"Hey." I said sitting down as he stared at me.

"Hi." he smiled shyly at me. I pushed my hair back so that it went behind my ear. "I'm Seth." he offered.

"I'm Raya." I stuck out my hand. He shook it hesitantly. The way he looked at me was...well it should have been creepy, but instead it just warmed my heart. I pulled out my notebook as the bell rang.

"Psst." Seth slipped a note onto my desk.

Hey, can we talk after school. There is something we need to show you because...well just because. Please.

I looked over at him for a second. He was trying to make sure that he didn't seem guilty to the teacher. I rolled my eyes and laughed. How strange...I already liked him.

Sure, where do we meet?

I tried to be inconspicuous as I passed him the note back.

Tiff will take you to Jake's. That will work best.

Alright, I'll be there.

I stowed the note before reading what he wrote back as the teacher made a round next to me.

I didn't get a chance to open the thing until PE. I read the note after I changed, before I went out into the gym.

I can hardly wait.

This guy was so attached to me even though he had just met me. It was so odd. I couldn't think about it for long. My class was made up of mostly boys and we were playing dodge ball today. I had to concentrate on not getting hit. Jake was in the class with me. I noted and so was two other of the 'gang'. Tiff's brother and a very buff one.

Dodge ball was a game I was very good at. I couldn't throw but I rarely got out and caught balls. After I'd catch them I'd toss them to the people who could throw. My teammates quickly learned to ask me for a ball when they needed one. I always had one to toss over.

I sighed in relief as I sat down next to Tiff in English. "Seth says you're supposed to take me to Jake's after school." I smiled at her.

"Yeah, Embry told me."

"So whats going on?" I asked, wondering if she had any clues.

"Um... I can't explain it. The guys will have to."

Her elusive answer made me worry. 'What have I gotten myself into?'

The bell rang after class and Tiff and I were the last to leave. She led me out to her car and we piled in.

The rain pattered against the window as we stopped in front of a small house. A man in a wheelchair led us inside. "The boy's will be here in a while, but... Before that may I tell you an old legend of ours?" He asked me as Tiff pulled me down beside her on the couch. I nodded confused by his serious expression.

He became a seasoned story teller before my eyes. He told of werewolves and evil vampires. Then it changed to non evil vampires. He told me the characteristics of a werewolf. The part that caught my attention the most was the Imprint. It was such a pure and simple thing. It was amazing.

As if on cue the boys burst inside as Billy finished.

"She knows, the legends, now all thats left is to show her Seth." He nodded at Seth who tugged me outside along with Quil, Embry, and Jake. I should probably be worried that he was so comfortable with him holding my hand but...I wasn't in the least. He pulled me toward the forest. Once we were safely inside the cover of the trees he grabbed my other hand.

"Stay here for a sec?" he gave me a choice but his voice was pleading.

"Ok" I don't know why I trusted him so easily about it. He disappeared into the trees with the other boys.

"Welcome to the family." Tiff grinned at me as she leaned against a tree and crossed her arms.

Four HUGE wolves came out of the trees. One padded toward me and lowered its head while he stood a foot or so away from me. I reached my hand toward him. He bumped my hand with his head while staring up at me with Seth's eyes.

"Seth...You're a werewolf?"
