Authors Notes: Sorry I took so long to update. Trying to write two different chapters for two different books can be quite disorienting. Just to let you all know I am indeed going to finish my other story. Just give it time.

Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Stephenie Meyer except this story.

Crimson's Point of View:

Sitting next to him had all of my nerves set to rapid fire. The slightest touch enhanced. I grabbed the desk in front of me with a new clarity. Trying anything to distract myself from his eyes. For I knew if I looked into his eyes my entire reserve would falter.

"Is something wrong?" he asked in his smooth voice that nearly crushed my defenses.

"No." I said trying so very hard to remain calm.

I was fighting a losing battle as I found my eyes betraying me. Curiosity had gotten the better of me. I gave up and looked up next to me. He was quite hot. He filled out the shirt he was wearing really well. He probably bought it too small for that very reason. I then noticed a smell in the air. It wasn't necessarily unpleasant, but it was... different. He smelled like the woods and dirt, but it wasn't a bad dirt smell. It smelled manly in every sense of the word. I then looked into his eyes and they took my breath away. His eyes were a beautiful dark forest green almost emerald in colour. I knew from that moment he was not human. Not at all.

Sam's Point of View:

When I saw this kid, because that's what he appeared to be, walk in I first thought 'Oh no, not another socially depraved outcast. We have enough here to call our school the outcast school of the States. Then, when I remembered I sat next to the only seat available I wanted to groan out loud. I didn't need this, but when this 'kid' walked closer I immediately realized this kid was different. Even more different then those Cullen's. When he sat down next to me I was bombarded with the smell of vanilla and mint.

"Hi my name is Sam. What's yours?" I ask him.

"Crimson, but you can call me Crim." he hesitantly replied.

How... odd. I've never heard a name like that. I could tell he didn't want to look at me for some reason.

"Is something wrong?" I asked worried he had possible picked up on my earlier vibe for dislike.

"No." he said as if straining to control something.

I saw him begin to look at me but he was trying his hardest not to. Then he gave up and I looked him dead in the eye and then it hit me. All of my ties to my family, my group, my likes, dislikes, all of them gone as if they were cut by scissors as if they were ropes barely hanging on. They were all replaced with one tie stronger than any force divine and all to this kid who I barely even know. He was the one. He was my imprint, and he wasn't even human.

Crimson's Point of View:

I noticed how he was kinda just sitting there staring at me in wonder. The teacher made a noise at front, which seemed to snap him out of his trance, as he assigned us our homework. When the bell rung I stood quickly wanting to leave right then. With all my things in hand I left. He tried to stop me, but I was already gone.

I kept walking faster and faster just wanting to get to my moms car and leave. When I got outside I saw she wasn't here yet so I waited just wishing I could be invisible. When a hand tapped me on my shoulder I jumped nearly three feet high. I turned quickly praying it wasn't him and was overwhelmed with happiness when I was greeted with Bella's smiling face. I smiled back as I hugged her.

"You have no idea how happy I am to see you." I said dramatically.

"Why?" she giggled.

"Let's just say there is someone I met who I don't want to talk to right now." I replied trying to be vague.

"Is someone bullying you?" she asked angrily.

"No silly. Just someone I don't want to talk to." I said as my mom pulled up.

"Well I gotta go. Bye!" I said as I got in the car.

In the car I was subjected to a number of questions.

"How was school today? Did you meet anyone you might like; dislike? Do you not like any of your teachers?" She asked in a spit fire manner.

"Good. Yes, no. Yes, my Algebra teacher. Does that answer your questions?" I replied just as spit fire as she asked.

"More details!" she whined. "Oh and I am taking you to get your license soon so study up on that. I am not a personal chauffeur anymore you know."

I just sighed and decided to tell her about my encounter with Sam.

"So... I met this guy. His name is Sam. I kinda maybe might, possibly like him in some sort or fashion." I said blushing beet red.

"Tell me more!" my mom squealed.

"He's different mom. He definitely isn't human. That much I know. He smells strange but in a good way. It's exotic and it clouds my mind." I confessed.

I saw her make a face but didn't think much of it.

"That's nice Crim." she said with a smile I could tell was fake.

The rest of the ride was in silence and I was left thinking it was something I said. When we got home I went straight to my room to do my truck-load of homework.

Aura's Point Of View:

"You need to know Maverick... Crimson met someone." I said with a worried tone.

"That's awesome, do you know who?" Maverick asked excited.

"No, you don't understand... I think the person Crimson met is one of 'them'." I said putting emphasis on the 'them'.

"Oh... so now we need to tell him about them too?" he said finally understanding.

"It would probably be for the best." I said.

"Crim! We need to talk with you about something!" I yelled.

I heard footsteps in the room and then on the stairs.

"Last time this happened I found out I was a vampire... Is this something big?" Crim asked hesitantly.

"Yes it is Crimson." I heard Maverick say. "Come sit down."

Crimson sat down on the red leather sofa next to his parents.

"Okay..." I started hesitantly. "You know how there are vampires?"

"Yeah... barely though." Crimson replied.

"Well there's more." I said trying not to scare Crim.

"Go on..." He said calmly.

"Sigh... There are other creatures out there Crim." I said trying very hard to dance around the subject.

"Come on mom you can tell me. I mean I'm a freaking vampire nothing surprises me anymore." Crimson said confidently.

"Okay then... there are werewolves too." I said bluntly.

"Is that all?" Crimson asked confused.

"No... they're our mortal enemies. They were created to protect the world from us. Even though most of us now days are calm and feast on animal blood. Look I just want you to be safe. There is a pack of werewolves here okay, and they don't like us. You 'must' promise me if you ever smell something like trees and dirt you will run. Promise me!" I begged him.

"I promise." he said and I hugged him.

"I gotta ton of homework to do so see you at dinner." he said as he got up and walked back to his room.

Crimson's Point Of View:

As soon as the door shut I began freaking out. Not at the fact that there was such thing as werewolves but the fact that I go to school with one apparently. If trees and dirt is what werewolves smell like than Sam was a werewolf.

'What am I going to do?' I asked myself.

I clear my mind for the moment and focus on my homework, but later that night I have nothing to occupy my mind with leaving it to roam. No matter what I try to force my mind to think of, it kept going back to Sam. His perfect jaw structure. His beautiful eyes. His deep bass voice that seemed to make me vibrate with glee. I realized right something right then. I want Sam. So I have decided that when I see Sam next I am going to ask of he wanted to be friends.

The next day my mom drove me to school. Getting out of the car I was nearly tackled by Bella who was jumping up and down screaming something about a boy maybe. It was hard to tell she was yelling to loud.

"Calm down! I can't understand a word you're saying. Now what happened?" I asked.

"I met a guy. His name is Edward Cullen, he's like super hot, and he said he likes me! Edward doesn't like anybody!" she squealed immediately irritating me.

"What about you meet anyone you like here?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"No... I haven't been looking either." I said truthfully. I really hadn't been looking when Sam and I met.

"Hmm..." she said thinking.

"Well your coming to lunch with us. Where have you been during lunch anyways." she asked, curious.

When she said lunch I immediately got scared. Would I be able to eat like I sometimes can or would I blow my own cover?

"Crim? You okay? You kinda blanked out there for a minute.

"Yeah I do that sometimes." I said making a face and trying to play it off.

"Well will you come to lunch with us?" she asked.

"I guess so... but I warn you now I don't do so good in large crowds." I confessed.

"It's fine if you ignore everything." she said trying to offer advise.

I just rolled my eyes and we headed for our first class.

When lunch came around I was nervous, sweaty and, scared. When I entered the cafeteria though it all became worse. The tables were packed. The people were loud, but worst of all the combined stench of over 200 kids was nauseating. Ignoring it I scanned for Bella who was standing by the only remotely empty table. It sat 10 most likely but only 4 were sitting there, and by immediate glance they were like me. I walked over to Bella who turned as I neared and quickly said something I didn't quite catch to the one with messy brown hair.

"Everyone this is Crimson." she introduced me.

"Uhh... hi." I said awkwardly causing her to laugh. I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes and settle for a 'really' look. At that she just laughed harder.

"Come on giggle box lets go get our food before you hyperventilate." I said dragging her by her arm toward the food line.

We got our food and took our place at the smallish table. She ate while I simply played with my food, appetite gone with a bad feeling centered in my stomach.

"Not hungry?" she asked.

"No it's just I have this really bad feeling.

"Hmm..." She responded.

Then I smelled them. Five people entered. Sam as well. I looked at him and right as he looked at me I looked away. I looked back a moment later to see him say something to his group of friends. For really big people they didn't attract that much attention. I looked at the people at my table and saw the disgust on their faces. They obviously didn't like Sam and his group. Sam then turned and looked at me. I could have sworn even from this far I saw something in his eye. He whispered something again to his friends and they all looked at me. Seeing as how I drew more attention than I wanted I turned away. After they had got their food they all sat down at what I presumed was their 'spot'. Sam though disappeared on me. I turned back thinking he was avoiding me. A few moments later I heard a sound of disgust come from one of the guys at the tables mouths. If I had to guess it was probably the blonde. Looking back I saw the reason of his protest. Sam was headed over here.

'Oh crap! What do I do?' I asked myself.

"Hey Crimson. How are you today?" Sam asked me in his deep voice which instantly calmed my nerves.

"Nothing really. Just sitting with Bella's new friends." I asked looking him in the eyes. Again I noted how they were very near emerald in color.

"Well the guys wanted to meet you." he told me honestly.

"If that's what they want. I honestly don't know why. I am not that much of a remarkable person." I said confused.

"They just said they wanted to meet you. You don't have to if you don't want to though." he said leaving me with options. I quickly chose his obviously lively, boisterous group, over this silent, way too quiet group.

"I'll see you next class Bella." I said as we parted.

He walked me over to the table he was sitting at with his friends. As we drew near I heard them whispering something I couldn't quite make out.

"Everyone this is Crimson." Sam introduced me.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. They all smelled of trees and dirt. I knew this was a pack. The second tallest spoke first.

"My names Jacob, but please call me Jake." he said.

"Well I'm Embry and you can call me whatever you want." the shortest said.

"I'm Paul." the third tallest said in a bored tone.

"I'm Seth and can I say I love your hair and your eyes and..."the rest was muffled by Embry who had grabbed Seth, clamped his mouth shut, and whispered something in his ear that made Seth go wide eyed and silent.

I just stood there confused yet welcome, but mostly confused.

"Yeah just ignore that. He tends to talk to much." Sam said.

"Don't be jelly cause my voice is sexy!" Seth said dramatically.

Sam motioned for me to sit down so I sat down next to him and Jake. Paul, Seth, and Embry all sat across from us. I got the feeling to look back at Bella and when I did I saw her staring at me funny with the others staring at me like some sort of traitor. The stares quickly becoming uncomfortable I turned back to my table.

"Well as I was saying Paul," Jacob said. "It doesn't matter who stronger or taller you could be ten feet tall and I would still kick your ass."

"NO YOU WOULDN'T!" Paul half-screamed in frustration. "I WOULD ANNIHILATE YOU!"

"Here let's get an unbiased opinion. Crimson... who do you think would win in a fight me or him?" Jacob asked as they all looked at me.

My first reaction was to go wide eyed. My second reaction was to run, but that wasn't an option right now. I didn't want to piss anyone off. So I came up with the best answer I could.

"Easy... you would both probably fight for hours with no end in sight before you both passed out from exhaustion."

"IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!" Paul said as he threw a slight fit.

"WELL HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION THEN HUH? I MEAN I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!" I yelled right back at him.

He just looked at me with a look on his face before he broke out laughing.

"Good point." he said after laughing for about a minute.

It was then that the bell rung and we all said our farewells and I promised I would sit with them every now and again.

The rest of the day went by in a flash. At the end of the day. Sam and I were working together on a project that we got finished early. Thus freeing us of anything to do after school.

"Hey Crim." Sam started. "After school today do you maybe wanna go hang out?"

Inside I was screaming 'YES!' but on the outside I just smiled.

"I'm sure I can work something out." I said with a smile.

"I'll come by and pick you up. Where do you live?" He asked.

I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote my address down and my cell phone number.

"Here, if you wanna talk sometime." I said trying my hardest not to blush.

When the bell rang I told him 'goodbye' and 'I'll see you later'.

I waited for my mom for a few minutes before she pulled up and drove me home.
