- Mya POV -
"Morning Hermione. Wet enough for you?" my next door neighbour Mr. Alanson asked as I walked out to pick up the mail a few weeks later. It had been pouring rain for a few days now so I held my umbrella above my head.
"Good morning Mr. Alanson. Just a bit. You get used to it after living in England for your whole life," I called back.
"It will most likely turn to snow overnight. Tell that dad of yours to make sure your snow tyres are on," Mr. Alanson said before he waved at me and I walked back inside the house. I placed the mail on the table for Sirius to read once he got home from work and was in the kitchen making a cup of coffee when I heard something vibrating on the coffee table in the lounge room.
Sirius' mirror was vibrating back and forth so I picked it up.
"Hey Snowflake," Rem said as his face came into view.
"Hey Papa Rem. How are you?" I asked. I set the mirror up and sat back with my coffee.
"I'm doing fantastic baby girl. What about you?" He asked.
"Awesome. School is great and we've made the most amazing friends," I answered.
"That's wonderful. You look wonderful," Rem commented. I had put a fair amount of weight on and was finally nearing a healthy weight. Harry and I had been going running everyday and we were getting fit again.
"Well thank you. Dad isn't here at the moment. He got asked to go into work," Sirius had started working at Paul's dad's garage. He and Chris had become heaps close and Dad was awesome at fixing cars.
"That's fine. I just wanted to check in. Oh, someone wants to say hello," Rem said before the adorable face of my godson appeared.
"Myne!" He cried when he saw me.
"Hey baby. You've grown!" I said. I watched as his hair morphed into a mop of brown curls and his eyes changed to brown.
"Miss Myne. Want Myne!" Teddy cried.
"I know baby. You can come see us soon. Maybe Christmas," I said.
"Harry too!" Teddy said before his hair changed to unruly black and his eyes became a striking green.
"Yes bub. You can see Harry too. Harry's out with his friend at the moment," I said. Harry and Leah had been spending a lot of time together and they were actually up in Port Angeles at the moment choosing a birthday present for Seth.
"Love Myne," he said as he blew a kiss at the mirror.
"Love you too Teddy," I said as I blew a kiss back.
"Hey bub. I'm gunna go. I've got to pick my darling wife up from work and go to lunch at the Burrow," Rem said with a grimace. I laughed and waved.
"Have fun. Say hi to everyone for me on the quiet," I said before we said goodbye.
I had just switched the TV on and was watching Bones when the doorbell rang. I put my coffee down and wrapped my loose cardigan tighter around me as I walked towards the door. I swung it open and smiled at the person standing behind it.
"Hey stranger," I said as Paul shook his hair, removing the raindrops.
"Hey. Nice outfit," he smirked. I was wearing a pair of old grey sweatpants, a white tank and my loose cardi along with my comfy UGGs.
"Well I wasn't expecting company," I said as I moved aside so he could walk in. "Do you want a towel?"
I had gotten extremely used to all the boys walking around shirtless but seeing Paul half naked so often still gave me shivers.
"If you're offering," Paul said. I grabbed a towel from the linen cupboard and handed it to him before sitting back down. He dried his hair and body before sitting down beside me. I found myself curling into his side and resting my head on his chest. His large arm wrapped around me in a way that made me feel protected and safe.
"Was this all you had planned today?" Paul asked as we watched the show. He stole my coffee and took a sip before handing it back to me.
"Pretty much. I was going to probably head into town and get a kebab or pide but that's it," I said. "You got anything you need to do?"
"Nope. I watched Nina at dancing this morning and then came here. A very eventful morning all in all," Paul said with a grin.
I giggled and snuggled into Paul's warmth. I had noticed over the past few weeks that Paul and all of the guys were extremely warm, body temp wise. I had thrown a fit at Paul one day demanding he go to a doctor but he keeps assuring me he is fine.
We watched the two episodes of Bones followed by the two episodes of Castle before I got hungry.
"Let's go get food," I said. Paul helped me off the lounge and I grabbed my phone but I didn't bother grabbing my wallet considering Paul always bought me food.
"I'm glad you've learnt," Paul said with a grin. I grabbed my umbrella and walked out to the front porch. I was about to step down onto the front path when Paul scooped me up and quickly ran through the rain to his truck. He rested me on the seat and ran to his side after shutting the door.
"I could have walked to the car," I said as Paul started the car and got the heating going. Paul just shrugged and headed into town. We parked out the front of the Kebab shop and took advantage of the break in the rain and ran inside.
"Hey Mione. What can I get you?" Jonathon, the cashier asked as we walked in. I felt Paul growling in his chest as I leant against it and I subconsciously nuzzled my head against it.
"Can I get a beef pide, a chicken kebab with lettuce, cheese, onion and no sauce and a bottle of Coke? Paul, what do you want?" I asked.
He ordered two kebabs, a pide and a bottle of Pepsi. Jonathon made our kebabs and sliced up our pides before Paul handed him the money for the food.
"Why were you growling at him?" I asked Paul as we sat in his truck overlooking the beach while we ate.
"I didn't like the way he was looking at you," Paul mumbled between bites. I looked at him for a second before laughing. "It's not funny."
"It's hilarious. Paul, in case you didn't notice, Jonathon is in a very loving, happy relationship with his boyfriend Damien. I was pretty sure everyone in this town knew that," I said. Paul looked confused before recognition hit in and his eyes widened.
He started laughing and I couldn't help but follow. We were still laughing when we heard a knock on the window. We both turned and I waved at Jared, Seth and Jake who were standing in the rain.
"Hello boys. Having fun?" I asked as I rolled down my window.
"Yep. Just been cruising the beach. Hey Paul, don't forget Sam wants to see you soon," Jake said with a pointed look towards Paul. Paul nodded and I growled as Jake took a bite of my kebab.
"Get your own!" I said as I snatched my food back and slapped his hand.
"Damn! That hurt. I keep forgetting how strong you are," Jake said. I was about to say something when I noticed all the boys tense up and look into the woods. I took a deep breath and let my wolf senses loose. I was hit by the sudden sharp smell of bleach coming from the woods.
"You ok Angel?" Paul asked me. My face must have been scrunched up in pain because all the boys were looking concerned.
"Just got a huge whiff of bleach," I commented off handily but I noticed how all the boys tensed and looked at one another.
"So Mione, who are you going to the Christmas Dance with?" Jake asked quickly.
"Wouldn't have a clue. I actually had no idea there was one," I said. I was being truthful. I had been trying to keep my head down at school considering I seemed to be the prime target of Ashleigh, Dana and Kristy over the past month and a half and it was seriously pissing me off.
"Well, I'd be prepared come Monday. I've heard that a lot of people are going to ask you. Half the guys in my Sport Science class have been planning different ways to ask you," Jared commented with a grin. I also noticed that he shot a smirk at Paul who was frowning.
"Well I'm not going until people man up and say something," I said with a nod of my head.
We talked for a little while more before the boys said goodbye and headed back down to the beach. Paul pulled out of the parking lot and headed back for my house.
"So Mr. Meraz, who are you going to ask to the dance?" I asked as he drove.
Paul shrugged and I noticed his body was tense.
"Are you ok?" I asked him. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yea Angel. Just wondering what Sam wants. How about I drop you off and I'll go talk to Sam then we can go to the movies tonight?" Paul asked.
"Sounds good. What are we going to see?" I asked.
"I think that the Port Angeles cinema is having a horror night and I think they are playing Paranormal Activity. That is unless you're scared," Paul said with a teasing grin.
"Bring it!" I said as we pulled up outside my house. I grabbed my umbrella and leant over in my seat. I kissed Paul on the cheek before hopping out of the car and running up to the front porch. I waved to Paul who waved back before he drove away.
- Paul POV -
Paul where is your head? Sam asked via our link as we patrolled.
I'm fine. The boys and I smelt a leech down near First Beach, I replied. Sam nodded and we headed for the beach.
Look, if It's about your girl, I'm here if you need some advice, Sam said as we ran.
Thanks, I replied before the burning scent of leech came into our noses. We started tracking the scent to a small clearing. The scent continued further into the woods and even down to the beach.
We should check with the Cullens. See if they have any visitors who don't know about the treaty, Sam commented as we doubled back on our route. We headed to Sam's house and he howled letting the boys know it was shift change. Quil and Seth soon phased and Sam filled them in on everything while I phased back.
"Paul did you want some food?" Em asked as I walked into the kitchen.
"No thanks Em. I'm going out with my angel tonight. Gotta go shower," I said with a grin as I thought of Mya. Em smiled and waved me off before I jumped into my truck and headed home.
I ran up to the bathroom and quickly showered before walking into my bedroom and over to the wardrobe. I grabbed a pair of jeans, a black wife beater and a black and blue over shirt.
I had decided that I was going to ask Mya to the dance tonight and I really wanted her to say yes. I slipped my wallet into my pocket and grabbed my phone and keys before racing downstairs and out to my truck.
I drove towards Mya's place and smiled as I saw her sitting on the front steps. She walked over to the truck and pulled herself in.
"Hey angel. How was your afternoon?" I asked as I pulled away from the curb.
"It was good. Harry and Leah came over and we hung out. He finally got up the guts to ask her to the dance," Mya said with a grin. When Leah had told us she had imprinted, everyone was pretty excited for her and the boys switched from ripping me off to ripping her off for becoming a sap.
"That's good. They look good together," I commented as we headed into Forks.
"If they start dating, she'll hopefully treat him better than his ex did. That's all I ask," Angel said.
"His ex was a bitch I assume," I said.
"Yea. She was a fortune hunter and a total bitch. We used to be friends but she kept trying to push Harry and me apart. My ex is actually the older brother of Harry's ex," angel explained. I was a bit confused about the fortune hunter bit but she'd tell me in time.
"Well, while Leah can be a bitch, she's not someone that would lie to him and she isn't a fortune hunter. I'm also pretty she'd never try and separate you two," I said. I wouldn't let my angel be hurt by anyone or anything.
"That's good. Oh, is this Forks?" Mya asked as she looked out the window.
"Surely is. Have you been here yet?" I asked. I'd hoped she would say no because I didn't really want her anywhere near a place where the leeches were.
"I have actually. We had dinner with Charlie Swan and his daughter last week. They were really nice. Bella also introduced me to her boyfriend," angel said. I suppressed the urges to growl and head for the Cullen place but just barely. "He was a bit off but hey, to each their own."
"You didn't like him?" I was shocked. I didn't want her too but people were usually entranced by the leeches for some reason.
"He was nice enough. There just seemed to be a weird air about him," angel explained. I looked her over and loved how comfortable she seemed with me.
I noticed she shivered slightly and I grinned as she moved closer to me. I lifted my arm and she snuggled against my side with her head on my chest.
"You comfy?" I asked her. She nodded and I'm pretty sure she was purring contentedly. The hour long drive up to Port Angeles was filled with mindless chatting and also some singing to the radio.
I finally parked outside the cinema and helped Mya out of the car. We walked into the foyer and I paid for our tickets.
"Movie starts soon. Want to grab some food?" I asked. Mya nodded and we started walking towards the food shop.
"Mione, hey," a voice called. We both turned and I growled in my chest as Bella Swan walked over to us with the Cullen leech.
"Hey Bella. How are you?" Mya asked as they stopped in front of us.
"I'm good. What about you?" Bella asked. I noticed the leech was holding his breath and I wished I could as well.
"Pretty good. Just had a pretty relaxing few days," Angel explained.
"That's good. Well, we'd better get going. Dad has some stuff he wants me to do," Bella said.
"Well say hi for me," Mya said.
"Cullen, tell your father that Sam's gunna come up and see you tomorrow to talk about some stuff," I said vaguely. The leech nodded and I watched as Mya and Bella said their goodbyes before Bella and the leech walked out and I looped my arm around Mya's shoulder as we walked over to the candy bar.
I bought us a large popcorn and two drinks as well as some chocolate and candy before we walked into the cinema. We took our seats and I squirmed uncomfortably.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Mya asked. When I nodded, she lifted the arm rest between us and I spread my shoulders out in the extra room.
"Thanks Angel," I said. I put my arm behind her on the back of the chair and stuck my hand in the popcorn box.
The movie began and I found myself switching between looking at the screen and looking at Mya who was getting more frightened as the movie went on. One particularly scary bit happened and she squeaked before her head burrowed into my chest.
"I thought you weren't going to get scared?" I whispered as I smoothed down her hair.
"Shut up. I can deal with a lot of shit but this just reminds me of the Blair Witch Project and that movie scared the living shit out of me," Mya replied. I laughed softly and kissed her head as the movie continued.
Every so often Mya would turn her head into my chest and close her eyes. The movie soon ended and we sat in our seats whilst everyone else filed out.
"Same level of creepiness as the Blair Witch Project," Mya commented when we finally walked out.
"Mya, I've got a question for you," I said as we walked down the street.
"Yea?" Mya asked.
"I was wondering, did you want to go to the Christmas Dance with me?" I asked her. She looked up at me with a soft smile.
"I'd love to," Mya said before she slipped her arms around my waist in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her body and pressed her head to my chest. I found myself nuzzling her ear and she giggled. "That tickles."
I pulled away and kissed her head.
"Come on. We should head back. Wanna stop somewhere and get some dinner?" I asked.
"Sure. Where should we go?" Mya asked as we walked down the street.
"There is a really good Mexican place around here. It's in the back streets so not many people know about it," I said. Mya smiled and nodded and we started walking towards the restaurant.
I looked down at my still smiling imprint and realised just how lucky I was.
- Sirius POV -
I quietly crept up the stairs in the early morning, heading for Mione's room. Both the kids had made heaps of progress and were finally starting to act like normal teenagers.
I snuck into Mione's room and looked down at my sleeping daughter. She looked so peaceful I almost didn't want to disturb her. Almost.
"Dad! I'm gunna kill you!" Mione screeched as she jumped out of bed brushing the cold snow I threw off her face.
"Come get me!" I cried before racing downstairs. Mione was hot on my heels screaming at me. I raced outside and hid behind a tree. I heard Mione's footsteps and when she was standing near me. I grabbed her around the waist and started spinning her around. Eventually I lay down in the snow with Mione laying half on top of me and half in the snow.
"How are you enjoying La Push baby girl?" I asked her as we looked up at the grey sky.
"I really am dad. It's probably the best thing that's happened to me since I first found out I was a witch. Do you like it?" Mione asked me.
"I love it here. I'm pretty sure I don't ever want to return to England if I'm being honest," I explained to my daughter. "Come on baby girl. Let's go inside and grab some hot chocolate."
Mione and I walked into the kitchen and I waved my wand over the stove causing it to heat up and a pot of hot chocolate appear.
Once the hot chocolate was ready, I placed a mug full with marshmallows in it in front of Mione and kissed her head.
"Dad?" Mione asked as we drank.
"Yea sweetie," I said.
"Do you have a problem if I go to the Christmas Dance with Paul?" Mione asked, almost hesitatingly.
"Of course not baby. As long as he is the perfect gentleman and takes care of you I'm cool with it," I answered.
"Thanks daddy. I'm gunna go get changed. Paul and I are going out for lunch with Emily and Sam," Mione said as she finished her drink. She stood up and kissed my cheek before walking upstairs.
I sat reading the newspaper and smiled as my daughter walked downstairs. She kissed my cheek as we heard a car horn honk and I handed her some money.
About 15 minutes after Mione had left, the front door opened and the familiar scent of my son came into the kitchen.
"Dad? You home?" Harry called out. I heard a bag thump on the ground and footsteps.
"In the kitchen kiddo," I called back. Harry's footsteps came closer and he pushed the door open. "How was your night?"
"Hey dad. It was good. Just played some video games and watched movies. Um dad, I've got a question," Harry said.
"Fire away," I said.
"Well we all know that I have absolutely no ability with girls' right? Ginny and I only dated because she practically forced me into it," Harry started. I nodded for him to continue. "Well, I really like this girl. As in really, really, really like her. I have asked her to the dance but I want to ask her out for either before or after the dance."
"What's the dilemma here kid?" I asked.
"I'm gunna make an arse of myself. I just know it," Harry said.
"Ok, you've just been heaps honest to me and I know that's something girls like. Just explain to her what you told me and you'll get your girl," I explained.
"Thanks dad. I'm gunna go upstairs and have a nap before doing some of my homework," Harry said. He smiled at me before walking upstairs.
"I like being a parent," I whispered to myself before going back to my paper.
- Harry POV -
"Snowflake, wanna go for a run?"I asked Mione as we sat on the back porch looking out at the snow covered lawn.
"It's too cold Leo," Mione said.
"I meant as Leo and Snowflake. I really want to run on four legs," I explained.
"Fine," Snowflake said. We walked into the woods a bit before changing. I laughed internally as I noticed Mione practically blended into the snowy woods.
I nudged her with my muzzle and we took off running. I nipped at Mione's heels and she yipped in happiness. Suddenly she spun around and bit me lightly on the nose before running away.
I gave chase which was hard considering she blended in so well with her surroundings. I was about to mind link with her when I heard a whimper that only Mione could make. I charged towards the sound.
As I burst through the bushes, I came face-to-face with Mione lying on the ground whilst four horse sized wolves stood around her. I roared and they all started. Snowflake took that opportunity to jump up and race over to me. She stood partially behind me and I quickly checked her over for injuries. She whimpered and I nuzzled her muzzle gently.
I looked back to the wolves who were looking just as confused as me. I rounded Mione up and we took off running back towards the house.
What the fuck is going on in La Push?
