The History

By the time Seth and I got back, more people had arrived. I recognized Grandpa Billy from pictures my mom had, but that was the extent of my knowledge. Jake waved to us and we sat between him and Leah. On the other side of Jake was the girl from the Cullens. Renesmee, I think her name was. I also recognized the guys Seth had pointed out before. Sam, Jared, and Paul sat on one side of Billy. Nessi, Jacob, Seth and I were on the other. Next to Paul were six others I didn't know. I guessed Bradley and Collin were among them. Embry and (I guessed) Quil were on the other side of Leah. Further down were three kids I didn't know, and they completed the circle by being sat near to the kids in what I guessed were Sam's 'pack'.

Also in the circle were some girls sitting next to some of the guys. The guy I guessed to be Quil was sitting next to a girl who couldn't be more than nine years old. There was also a woman next to Sam who's face was scared. I tried not to stare, but I think she saw that I saw. I almost thought I saw my mother sitting next to Paul, until I remembered that my mom had a twin sister, Rachel. Next to Jared was another girl I didn't know.

Once everybody was settled, Grandpa Billy started to speak. "*According to Quileute legend, the spirit warriors were the first to shift from humans into wolves. Quileute population was always small, but they never disappeared since it was believed they had magic in their bloodlines.

"The Quileute tribe settled in La Push and became efficient fishermen and shipbuilders. As time passed, other peoples coveted their land and moved against them for it. The tribe was small and could not defend themselves…"

My mind wandered off while he told the story. I was still listening, but Seth kept distracting me. He wasn't doing anything really, all he did was look at me, but he never took his eyes off me. It was unnerving, but then it was kind of nice too. Guys never took an interest in me, and this experience was kind of nice.

"Why did Taha Aki decide to give up phasing when he married his third wife?" I whispered to Seth, "Didn't he love his first wife too?"

"Do you see Sam and Emily?"

"Is that her name?" I ask indicating the woman with the scarred face.

"Sam hasn't phased for three years. Neither has Paul or Jared."

"How come?"

"Have you ever heard of 'Love at First Sight?'" he asked me.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Well, with us shapeshifters-there's something called imprinting, and it's like that, only a million times stronger, like finding your soul mate. Taha Aki did love his first wife, but his third wife was his imprintee. Sam and Emily, Paul and Rachel, Jared and Kim, Jacob and Nessi, and Quil and Claire. Nessi doesn't age anymore because she is part vampire, so Jacob doesn't feel inclined to stop phasing, and Claire is only ten, but the rest are feeling the need to retire."

Jacob cleared his throat to tell us to quiet down and listen to Grandpa Billy. After he told us about the battle with the newborns and the almost battle with the Volturi, he announced that Sam, Paul and Embry were retiring, and that Collin and Bradley were the new Alpha and Beta. Then we ate about five cows worth of hot dogs and hamburgers before Jake took me and Grandpa home.

I am not lying this time, the pups will be introduced in the next chapter. I keep thinking that they will appear, then the chapter gets too slow to add something new. Thank you Caius'babygirl for your reviews.
