Embry's Calling
Chapter 2
Embry's POV
"I love you."
"I love you more."
"No, I do."
"Stop it, I do!"
This was usually what I heard the Pack and their imprints say, no matter the ages. But even little Claire, who was just 5, started saying this today. The sad part was, I couldn't make fun of Quil, her 'baby-sitter' as he told everyone who wondered why a big, hulking man followed a little girl around and obeyed her every command. Well, almost.
But, first, let me tell you who I am. My name's Embry Call, and I got my name from a soap opera that my mom used to watch. I'm now 20 years old, but I'm still best friends with Jacob Black and Quil Ateara. If you're wondering who the Pack is, we're a group of Quileute guys who have a gene that turns us to werewolves, or shape shifters, actually. We start to phase when there are vampires in the area, and I phased when I was about 16 years old. In the group there was Sam, the leader, Jacob, Leah, Quil, Leah, Jared, Paul, Brady, Collin, and some other younger wolves. But there was some Pack drama, Jake left, followed by Leah and Seth, to protect Jake's newborn imprint, and soon after that me and Quil entered their little Pack. Now, we've made a new Treaty saying that the Cullens, with before notice, can come into La Push, the Cullens being the vampires. No, I'm not lying; I'm not creative enough to make this up.
Well, back to what I was saying before, I was hanging out with Quil while he was taking care of Claire, and while she begged him to be able to stay up as long as she wanted, and he refused at first, she began to cry. I swear, I don't think I've ever seen Quil in so much pain than whenever Claire cries, and he let her stay up an hour more. When he was tucking her in, she said I love you to him. Then what I said before was argued between the two, until at last she fell asleep. When Quil returned from her bedroom, he looked as happy as if he had one the grand prize of the lottery. I left then, so he could be alone with his happiness, and so I didn't have to witness, yet again, what I didn't have.
The legends say that imprinting is rare, but now I think it's rare if you don't imprint. Really, even Leah and the younger kids imprinted! I might seem depressed, and even Jake and the Cullens brought it up once, but I just can't stand it anymore. My life now was hanging out with the Pack, working my job as a postal delivery guy part time. That's a lame job, I know, but I need the money. I still never told my mom about the whole wolf thing, and she got so pissed after I snuck off on her birthday. Well, it was a major dealing with vampires, I had to be there! Anyways, she kicked me out eventually because I was "just too much for her to handle." So, I got an apartment and needed money to pay rent, sue me.
The next day, I woke up and pulled on my shorts, not bothering with a shirt; us wolves have a built in heater, plus it was warm, so I wouldn't attract much attention. My boss didn't care, then again she was always staring 'down there', so maybe that's why. Huh, never thought of that. I pulled on some sneakers, not wanting to look like a complete hobo, and climbed into my car. It wasn't the best, but I worked with what I got. I reached the delivery station, which was in Port Angeles, in less than 10 minutes, record timing. Well, it's good that it was a holiday today. I needed the extra delivery time to forget about the whole imprinting stuff.
I drove around the area, knocking doors, getting the electronic signature pad out, and going back. It's a job that I would've made fun of when I was younger, but I had to deal with it now. Well, I was giving out resumes, so maybe the opportunity would come soon. I wanted to work in an auto mechanics shop, like with cars and motorcycles. I was good with those sorts of things, even better than Jake. I was the one who fixed the motorcycles for him, but of course, for his sake, I told Bella that he did it.
I took a look at my last delivery destination, and saw that it was at a bridal shop in Seattle. I glanced at the street names, got in my car, which I insisted on using instead of the trucks the company used. I drove for about an hour, trying to take it slower than I normally would have. I was tired of moving so fast, I needed to relax. Maybe sleep a while, I haven't slept over 4 hours in so long, but that would be for a different time, when I wasn't in the middle of the highway.
I saw the plaza sign, and turned in. Wow, there were only a few cars, including a beat-up Lexus that would look amazing if I could work with it…So I guessed that there were only employees and like, 2 customers. "The best bridal shop in town," wow, that was a weird name. This part of the town looked like the least lively, but little did I know what would be on the other side of this bridal shop door.
Oooh, what do you think will happen? Review please, but I'm still happy I managed to get one review on this FF's first day. THANK YOU Twilightgurl1917, you made a part of my weird day ;)
