Leah

A knock coming from the outside of my door caught me out of my reverie. I stood up and walked towards the door unlocking it and opening to find Emily beaming at me. She pulled out a beautiful beige beach dress (On my profile if you want to look at it-Which I hope you do-). I gasped.

"Emily it's so beautiful"

"Isn't it, I figured you'd need something to wear for the bonfire tonight. You know everyone has waited for this moment for a while now"

My stomach quenched. I was so nervous about the bonfire I didn't even know what to do. I held out my hand to reach but brought it back as soon as my cuts on my wrists showed. Emily gave a sympathetic look. Please don't judge me, please don't judge me, please don't judge me- I chanted in my head. She took my hand and smiled "Paul told me about these cuts. It's okay nothing a little make-up can't fix"

A relief washed through me as she said those words. Paul…Paul was my happy place. I needed him right now. When we came back from the forest he told me he had to head somewhere, which reminded me "Speaking of Paul, where is he?"

"Oh, the pack had a little meeting. It's what they always do before a bonfire"

"What happens at the meeting?"

"They go over the guests and who's going to keep watch over the beach"

A lump developed in my throat and as much as I tried to swallow it wouldn't budge "How many people do you think are going to be there"

She mentally counted in her head and said "About the whole reservation"

The lump gently moved down to my stomach and I felt a need to puke it up. "But here I want you to try on this dress"

She pushed my door opened and handed the dress over to me "Go change I'm so excited. Oh and be aware. Kim and Clair are coming over in just a few to help me make some dishes for the bonfire. By the time you're done changing they should be here"

I nodded and she headed out the door. When it shut I took a long breath and led it out. I was sick to my stomach, I just needed Paul. He was the only one who made me calm, cool, and collected. Even as a kid when I'd get a really bad sore from running wild in the woods. He was always the one who told me just to calm down and give a good big breath.

I looked into the mirror and saw my reflection stare back at me "Where am I? Who am I?" I asked. I sighed and carried the dress towards the bed like as if it would break. I took off my pants and shirt. The dress was strapless and I sucked my teeth because of the fact I had to take my bra off too. I put the dress on and pulled the lace of the dress up to cover cleavage. I walked over to the mirror and amazingly shout my eyes up at how gorgeous the dress looked on me. Oh god help me, I'm not use to being pretty. I'm not pretty, Emily should take this back…I mean it's cute…It's cute right?

Suddenly I didn't feel as good about the dress as I did about a minute ago. The door handle twisted and Emily followed by two other girls about my age dropped in. They gasped with a big smile on their face.

"Sister, Sister you are looking gorg-e-ous" The girl on the right said. The two ladies had on pretty beach dressed as well. The one on the right had on a green one and the other had on pink. Emily still wasn't dressed but she did smell like apples if that counted for anything.

"Not as pretty as yours" I said politely with a weak smile.

Emily smile lit up the room I have to say "Paul wanted you to wear this" She took out the crescent moon necklace and my smile got wider. I walked over quickly and grabbed it putting on me. I looked back in the mirror and I instantly liked how I looked much better.

"Oh there's more where that came from honey" The girl on the left said.

"Leah, this is Clair" She pointed the left "and Kim" She pointed towards the right. They waved and so did I.

"I got these earrings for you" Emily said taking out a bag. She dumped it on my bed and not only was it jewelry but Make-up and what looked like marker or tattoo utensils I know this because Jane, back at Volturi used them all the time for her arm. I wonder what they planned to do with those.

Clair and Kim came over "Wow, we've heard stories of you but it's amazing to see you finally in such a while. It's a honor to meet you"

Honor? Who did these girls think I was the queen of Paradise? "Thanks"

"I'm Quil's mate, one of the wolfs in the pack, and Kim's Jared's"

"Another person in the pact" Kim laughed. "And I'm guessing you're Paul's?"

Paul's what? Mate? I'm not sure what that even is "Mate you mean?"

"Not just mate, but his imprint"

"Um, I'm not sure I know what you mean"

"Girls why don't you do Leah's hair and Make-up and I'll make the Tattoo, We've got a lot of work to do and we have no time for chit chatting right now"

"Yes ma'am" They said and went right to work. They sat me down in a chair and I looked over to Emily "Emily, what kind of tattoo are you talking about"

"Well everyone on the reservation is a wolf and no other species are allowed over here unless they have a secrete tattoo in honor of wolfs and most of the time for ID purposes. So no humans or even Vampires trespass"

"Hey Leah, what color is you're wolf"

"Um…I never found out. I never changed into one"

"What? What do you mean you never changed into a wolf that's ludicrous" Clair exclaimed.

"Clair" Emily glared.

"No it's okay Emily. Well Clair, back at where I was kidnapped they never allowed me to. It was against my rule and to tell you the truth even if I did break the rule. I would have no idea where to start, in order to phase into my wolf form"

"Oh…sorry" She said curling the bottom of my hair.

"It's okay, but can you guys please explain this imprint thing, OW" I said as I felt a huge sting come in contact with my flesh. I turned around and Emily ignored my pain and continued with the tattoo.

"Well, it's basically something the men on the reservation have to do. It's when they first phase into a wolf and the elders belief that as a gift for having the courage to phase. The wolf itself gives a gift, which is an imprint. An imprint can only be made by a he wolf not a she wolf. It's kind of bogus if you ask me considering the fact I'm a she wolf but still. I guess on the reservation, it's a man's world"

I laughed and looked down. Through the whole process I wasn't nervous anymore. Well I should say I wasn't as nervous as before. I just wanted to see Paul. I wanted him to see how pretty I looked, I wanted to show him how I was already making friends here, and above all I wanted to show him how much I missed him.

"Clair, do you think it's too much" I said as I stared into the mirror. Who is that girl? Is that me? I mean I actually look beautiful.

I looked at my new tattoo that I feel in love with as soon as Emily was done. To me it just looked like a black circle with spirals. To the people here it was honor and a symbol of thank you's towards their wolf.

"You look gorgeous. Here's your shoes" She said and she handed me a pair of beige flats.

"I looked pretty but not as pretty as you guys" I said looking towards Emily and Kim as they put the finishing touches on the food. It was starting to get dark. I went outside for a moment and walked ever so slowly towards the little lake behind Emily and Sam's house. The wind blew against my shoulder length hair and my dress twirled. I closed my eyes and meditated on where I was.

If only I could stay here forever…I opened my eyes and looked up and the darkish blue sky and I saw nothing but a mixture of colors way past the horizon. It was a full moon tonight and I smiled. Everything was just so beautiful here. I looked back towards the house and I noticed how orange and tan it looked from outside because of the lights inside.

"You look so beautiful" A voice said behind me. I smiled to myself and turned around to see a shirtless Paul. I stood there staring at his sexy bare chest. Suddenly I had an image of me licking those abs and that 6-pack he's got going on.

He laughed "Do you like what you see"

That caught me out of my reverie and I blushed. "I've seen better" I said trying to keep composure and change the mode.

"To this day you're a terrible liar"

"I am not" I protested. I turned around and looked back towards the horizon. Suddenly I felt two big strong arms wrap around me. Just the feel of those muscles on me made me Immobile.

"How about now" he said. He's voice felt so good in my ear. I turned my head slowly and brought my hands up over his. Everything went away again, it was just me and him, what was this boy doing to me? It was addicting and hypnotizing. He brought his hands down feeling on my waist and I didn't bother to stop him. I turned around and seconds later our lips met. OMG IT FELT SO GOOD!

I never wanted to let him go, I brought my hands up to his spiky black hair and suddenly he moaned and pulled away. My heart sunk and I panicked "Paul? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's not that it's just. You're so beautiful and its…Urge…it's so hard to resist you right now and…I can't lose control, I might hurt you"

"You'll never hurt me" I reassured me "Trust me"

"You haven't phased into you're wolf yet which means you don't have the strength to handle a big guy like me" Wow that hurt.

"What?" My voice cracked. What did he mean by that?

"I mean, I don't know. Don't get this wrong Leah. I like you Leah and you are the most gorgeous person I met, but until you phase I have to be careful of how I do things around you"

Relief filled me as I realized it was just the fact of my certain safety. He just didn't want to hurt me.

"I don't care, I just want you" I looked back and felt his presence near me.

"I want you too, Leah" he laughed "More than you could imagine" I look back to him.

"Clair and the girls told me about the imprinting thing…am I yours?" Here was the moment of truth.

He smiled at me "I don't need a wolf to tell me that, but yes, and it will always…always be you Leah" He smiled down at me. Things that face did to me, I brought my hands up to his neck and he bent down to kiss me. His lips were enchanting by the way, and I never wanted to stop.

"ALRIGHT BREAK IT UP YOU TWO" Sam yelled from the porch of the house. Paul laughed.

"Emily said you were nervous about the bonfire, I just wanted to let you know you don't have to be, I'm here"

I smiled and hugged him "and that's all I need"

"Tragedy, Your parents were really good people and will all miss them dearly" The nice woman said "It's nice to know that you're here, and safe, well don't let me bore you anymore but it's nice to see you honey"

I smiled and hugged the woman "Thank you"

It seemed like there were a million people here but deep inside of course there wasn't. Paul stayed with me the whole night. Meeting all these people felt good to me. Finally people that I can relate too, this is my home this is where I belong. I felt like I didn't have to be scared anymore, I didn't have to be sad or worried or feel left out and I didn't belong.

I found out what happened to my mom, she did die as soon as I came in yesterday night. Surprisingly I didn't cry or get into a tizzy. Because as weird as it sounds, I felt her, I feel my mom and even my dad's spirit right now. I touched my necklace with a smile.

"PAUL, hey what's up man" A guy shouted.

"Oh Leah I have someone I think you'd really like to meet" Paul said.

"Who" Suddenly the guy came even closer and I could finally recognize him, I couldn't believe it.

"Oh my gosh…Seth, Seth I can't believe I didn't notice that before"

He laughed "How are you, oh cousin of mine"

"OH MY GOSH you've gotten so handsome and you look so different" I laughed. I ran my fingers through his hair. He's changed so much. He has muscles and he's gotten so big and strong.

"You've gotten beautiful yourself, wait, who said you would be able to get boobs"

"Wow, I think I've should've seen that coming knowing you were so addicted to boobs when I was young. Remember that time when you baby sat me and you're girlfriend came over and I caught you staring at her boobs every time she said something" Paul, Seth, and I laughed at the same time.

"Yeah well I guess me staring at her noobies was enough for her to marry me"

"No way you and Bree got married?"

"5 years ago and that's not all. We had our first born last year"

"I've got to see him"

"Sadly their out of town to visit grandma and grandpa and I won't see them until tomorrow. I'm just here to waste time"

"Urge like always"

"Tell me about it-"A voice as loud as thunder cut him off.

"TRESPASSERS! TRESPASSERS" a guy said running in from the forest.

I held onto Paul "What does he mean? Are there vampires here?" I asked. Panic starting to over wash me.

Seth was about to head into that directing but Paul pulled him back "Not without the pack" Then he howled and so did the rest of the men and women.

"PAUL" I hollered and held me close "Look, find Emily she'll know what to do" He left but I pulled him back.

"What's happening?"

He didn't answer until someone came up to him. It was Embry "Come on man"

"I'm coming" He said. People were running around everywhere and some women were looking for their children. But my attention was focused plainly on Paul.

"I promise I'll be back" he kissed me hard on the lips and ran with Embry towards the woods.

I called after him and tried to run after but I fell. Suddenly I felt hands pull me up. It was Kim, Clair and Emily.

"We have to leave"

"But Paul-"They cut me off.

'Paul will be find he's one of the best wolfs in the pack" Emily said.

"Trust me Leah; they're going to be find"

"I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT PAUL" I pushed them off me and ran towards the forests.

"LEAH NO" Clair yelled after me.

Screw this; I didn't come all this way to have another important in my life die. If they won't tell me what's going on I'm just going to have to find out for myself. Wants I got into the forest I could smell the blood seeping out of my shoulders as thorns tore through my dress and skin.

"LEAH" I heard people shouting after me. I was angry, enraged if something bad was happening to Paul. I've never been this angry before. I felt tremors run down my spine and I felt my body just shake. I screamed as I ran towards the heat I felt on my legs and arms and suddenly. I found myself running on four legs, instead of two…

I love you guys….And I told you it would be awesome sooo now I need you guys to do what?

Oh yeah that's right… Stay tuned for the next chapter which may or may not be uploaded tonight but for sure tommorrow:)
