Chapter 18

Alice and I ran home as fast as we could. At vampire speeds, we got home in about, oh…maybe 2 seconds? When we walked in the door, Jasper informed us that everyone had gone on a hunting trip except my father.

Shit. My father?

"Oh," said Jasper, "Elizabeth, your father wants to talk to you."

"Why, thank you for informing me, Jasper," I spoke in a sarcastic voice. "I look forward to having a lovely conversation with my dear father." I went up the stairs and into my room, dropping my school things on the floor and then I knocked on the door to my mother and father's room.

"Come in, Elizabeth." Of course he knew it was I. I slowly opened the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind me. My father was sitting on his couch.

"Hi, Dad…what do you need to talk to me about?" I had a feeling that it was going to be about you-know-who, but it didn't hurt to ask.

"Well, I'd like to talk to you about Josh." Wow. No way!

"Oh? What about this time?" I sat down on the couch next to him.

"Your mother talked to me about it…and, well…I've decided to put my, ehm, hate for werewolves aside, since Josh isn't a werewolf, and officially give you my approval of Josh as your…significant other."

My father had the worst timing of approval. I also found it entertaining that he couldn't bring himself to saying 'your boyfriend'.

"Really? Oh, thank you, Dad! You're the best!" I decided to fake it as if nothing was wrong. Hopefully, he wouldn't look at my thoughts. But just in case, I thought about Human Josh and Human Elizabeth happily hanging out together without having to sneak around and worry about werewolves and vampires.

"You're welcome, dear." I gave him a hug and skipped out of the room, smiling.

"I've got to call Josh later and tell him!" I went into my room and picked up my school bag and got a start on my homework.

The night continued by normally. I did my homework; I ate my dinner and watched TV. When everyone came back from their hunting trip, I ran up to my mother and gave her a huge hug.

"Thank you for talking to Dad, Mom." I pulled back from the hug, smiling.

"No problem, Elizabeth. Someone had to talk some sense in him, don't you agree?" She smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Yes." I waved to anyone else and noticed Carlisle was shaking his head.

"I'm still looking it up, Elizabeth. I'll let you know when I know." Said Carlisle. I knew exactly what he was talking about so I nodded.

"Thank you, Carlisle. Everyone, I think I'm going to bed now. G'night!"

"G'night!" They all said it simultaneously.

I went up to my bathroom so I could take a shower. Then I brushed my teeth, put on my pajamas and went into my room, shutting the door behind me.

It didn't take me long to fall asleep. Even though Josh was a werewolf and my father accepted our relationship because 'he wasn't a werewolf', I was still tired.

In the middle of the night, it had to be around 1 or 2 AM, I heard a knocking at my window. After grunting, hoping I would fall asleep again, I decided to open my eyes and see what was knocking at the window.

Who else, but Josh.

I hopped out of bed and ran over to open my window. I put my finger to my lips and said 'shhh' as he entered. My family did not sleep, so any strange noises from my room, alerted everyone from their nocturnal-ness (well, they never slept, so I don't know what you'd call them).

I closed the window behind him and nearly tripped over him as I walked back to my bed.

"You look lovely in your pajamas." He spoke in a whisper, which I was thankful for.

"Why thank you. Okay, so I have two things to discuss with you, Josh." I also spoke in a whisper.

"Okay. Start with whichever would take the least time to discuss." He took my hands in his.

"Well, my father has approved our relationship since he isn't aware that you're a werewolf."

"Oh wow. That was nice of him. Too bad my father wouldn't do the same and too bad I'm a werewolf now." He sighed while I smiled.

"At least he accepted your exsistance in my life. Now, the next thing I wanted to ask is what the hell happened earlier?"

"As you gussed correctly, my transformation is complete. But…that blank staring…it's hard to explain."

"Well, as long as you're quiet, we've got all night."

"Alright then. Where to start…ah, yes. Okay, well…do you know what imprinting is?"

"No, sir, I do not. Please explain this imprinting."

"Okay," he then took a deep breath, "Imprinting is when a werewolf sees the one who he is meant to be with. Kind of like a soul mate, but deeper. So, when a werewolf does imprint, they will literally slave over trying to get the one they imprinted on. A werewolf would literally kill themselves if something was ever to happen to their imprintee."

"So…you imprinted on me?"

"Yes."

Oh my. I wasn't sure what to say. I, Elizabeth Cullen, eye candy of the entire male high school population of Forks, have been imprinted on.

"Well, you must be happy that you've already got me."

"It certaintly makes this whole process a million times easier." He chuckled softly and l leaned in to kiss me.

The kiss was just as passionate as the last, except he wasn't as tired and weak. He pulled me on top of him and gripped my back, not willing to let go. I gripped his neck in return, locking or bodies together in the sweet embrace.

"UGHHH! What is that horrible smell?" Rosalie was right outside my room. We pulled away and let go of each other, Josh already starting for the window.

"Rosalie, please. You'll wake up Elizabeth."

"Well, Bella, the smell is coming from your daughter's room!" By this point Josh was already out the window. I shut it behind him and ran into my bed, pretending to sleep, just in time for my mother to walk in.

"Oh my…it does smell awful. Well, I'll do something about it tomorrow. I don't want to interrupt Elizabeth." She closed the door and she and Rosalie walked downstairs again.

I sniffed around. Nothing smelt bad to me. I let it go and drifted off into sleep once more.

(YAY! I wrote a longer chapter for you all! I hope you enjoyed it!)
