CHAPTER SIX- TRUTH OR DARE
I was in the woods, walking alone. When someone appeared in front of me. He was 6"5 and was strong. He had a pair of yellow-greenish eyes. They were beautiful, and mesmerizing. He was pale and had brown hair going down to his chin. His mouth was open, like he was trying to tell me something. But he couldn't. He was Rhys.
"Rhys!" I cried out. I ran closer to him but stopped when I saw Peter stand behind him. "Rhys?" I asked, my voice barley above a whisper. I was scared for him and me.
"Found you." Rhys chocked out. I reached out to touch him but his body fell to the ground, as ashes. I looked up at Peter, who had a smile on his face. He took a step forward.
"Ryann," he whispered.
I shot up in my bed. Not this dream, again! I couldn't understand why I was having it. It was different from my other nightmares, usually it was of the night of the fire.
Ring. Ring.
I reached over and picked up my phone. "Hello?" I asked.
"Hey, Ryann!" Seth's voice boomed. I let out a laugh. "What?" he asked.
"You always call right after I wake up. Is it like an Imprint thing or something?" I asked.
"Uh…I don't think so. But that is a little weird. I was wondering if you wanted to meet the other imprints. And then go to a bonfire tonight," he suggested.
"Where will you be?" I asked.
"Well you can hang out with the others when I'm on patrol and everyone will be there at the bonfire. It will be super fun!!" he said. I thought for a moment, this actually might be fun.
"Alright," I said. "I'll do this. But after the bone fire thing, just us," I said.
"Yeah, just us." The way he said it made me think he had a smile on his face and I heard him let out a happy sigh. "I'll pick you up in 10." Then he hung up. I sighed and rolled over so my legs hit the wooden floor. I went to my closet and pulled on some skinny black jeans with a long black jacket. I made my way to my kitchen and ate a banana. I threw it away just as the doorbell rang. I smiled and skipped to the door. I opened the door and jumped into Seth's arm.
"Ryann!" he exclaimed as he spun me around, my hands were around his neck and his hands were around my waist. I smiled wider and he gave me a small kiss on my lips as he carried me to his car. He set me down in the passenger's seat and walked over to the driver's seat. "Good morning, beautiful," he said as he drove away from my house.
"Hi," I said, giggling. "So…you have to patrol?" I asked in a whinny voice.
"Yes," he said with a sigh. "But it won't be that long. And you'll have fun with the girls and Cameron," he said. I let out a sigh and leaned back in my seat.
"I guess," I said sadly. His hand went under my chin and he forced me to look at him. He was still driving with no problem.
"Hey, just a few hours, that's all. Then we'll be alone and we can do whatever you want to do," he said. I smiled at him, he was perfect. He smiled back at me and I took his hand from my chin into mine. He turned his attention back to the road but still held my hand. I let out a happier sigh and leaned back again. We both soaked up the silence, but it wasn't awkward, we were just way too deep into our thoughts. I don't know what Seth was thinking, but I was thinking about him.
I was thinking about his eyes. They were dark brown, almost black, but they were so sweet and kind and caring. The way he looked at me with those eyes, it was easy for anyone to see that he really did love me. I was thinking about his hair. So black and silky and amazing. I was thinking about his body. His strong, tall, hot (in both ways) body. His skin was soft but so strong, he was so perfect.
"Ryann?" Seth's amazing voice floated into my ears, bringing me back to the car. I blinked and smiled at him.
"Sorry," I said. "I was thinking."
"Don't ever apologize to me," Seth said in a serious voice. "Nothing you do could ever make me mad." I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I should tell him. I should tell him the truth.
NO! The voice of that scared girl shouted in my head. You can't, you have to keep him safe.
But how can he love me when he doesn't know me?The reasonable voice said.
What he doesn't know, won't hurt him.
But what about when he notices that I'm not ageing? Reasonable said.
Fake it. Scared Girl said.
"Ryann," Seth said again. I looked at him. "You coming?" he said with a laugh. I smiled back, and nodded. He was at my side of the car in an instant, opening the door for me. He held out his hand and I took it. We were at Emily's house. I had only met her and Cameron, but the other imprints I haven't. As he started walking up the front steps, I stopped and he looked back at me. "What is it?" he asked in a worried voice, coming back to my side.
"I'm scared," I whispered. He let out a small laugh and flung his arm around my shoulder.
"Why?" he asked, like it was the stupidest thing in the world.
"What-what if they don't like me?" I asked in a small voice. Seth's face softened at my sentence. Both of his arms wrapped around me and I rested my chin on his shoulder.
"Hey, don't worry about it, they'll love you," Seth said. "I love you," he said after a few seconds. I pulled away to look back at him.
"Okay," I said with a nod. He smiled at me and pulled me up the front steps. I was being a big baby! I mean, I was scared of Humans? WOW! I smiled a little at the thought as Seth opened the door.
All the wolves were there, hanging around with who I'm guessing are their imprints. When we entered people turned to look at us, I smiled at them and I noticed the girls smile back. Seth pulled me over to Jared, where a girl stood next to him.
She looked like a shy, nice, plain girl. But then I really looked at her. She had a wide face, mostly cheekbones, with eyes too small to balance them out. Her nose and mouth were both too broad for traditional beauty. Her flat black hair was thin and wispy. But then I really looked at her. I notice how she is truly beautiful, and not plain at all. She has smooth skin , and the perfect shape of her lips looked amazing against her white teeth. I noticed how her long eyelashes brushed her cheek when she looked down.
"Ryann this is Kim. Kim, Ryann," Jared said. I smiled wide at her and gave her a hug, she hugged back.
"So great to finally meet you, Seth can't stop talking about you. He even has Jared talking about you," she said with a laugh. I laughed with her and shot a look to Seth who was looking down at the floor with a blush.
"I'm happy to finally meet you too," I told her back. The rest of the girls came over, all the guys moving to a corner, except Seth who still stood behind me.
"Hello," a girl said with a Texas accent. "I'm Shannon and I'm Collin's." Shannon had long blond hair that went to a few inches under her shoulders, she had dark brown eyes that really made her beautiful. I smiled at her and we hugged.
"Nikki. And I don't like being called "someone's"," she said, giving Shannon a stern look. Shannon shrugged and simply rolled her eyes. "But Embry is mine." She said with a laugh. Out of the corner of my eye I can see the wolves chuckle. Nikki was differently a Pacific Islander, her skin, which was a rich drown color, was flawless. Her glasses pulled her whole look together.
"Jen," a girl with brown hair going down to her shoulder with big, brown eyes said. She was pale, not as much as me or the Cullens, but paler than everyone else. "And Brady is wrapped around my finger," she said with a sly smile. I smiled back, liking her…slyness?
"Rachel." She looked a little older, maybe around 19 or 20, but was still beautiful. She had black hair that went down to the middle of her back. She had the same skin tone that Jacob had, making me think they were related. "I'm Jacob's older sister and Paul imprinted on me," she said, getting straight to the point.
Emily hugged me and said hello. Cameron was there, surrounded by a bunch of girls, Seth had moved over to where all the wolves were. I smiled and hugged everyone, we talked quietly but then Seth said the one thing I was dreading.
"I gotta go," he whispered in my ear. I turned to him, a pout on my face. He laughed a little and brushed my cheek with his warm hand.
"No," I said like a stubborn 3 year old. "You can't go." He smiled at my attempt.
"I have to," he said, drawling out the sentence. "A few hours," he whispered back in my ear. "Go to the mall, watch a movie, talk about me, do something and then soon enough you'll be back in my arms." His warm breath breathed down my neck. I smiled at his tone, it was…sexy. I let out a breath, it was like 'OMG!~ I want to make out with you right now!' breath, and then gave him a small kiss.
"Kay, but I want my alone time soon." Then I turned away from him and walked back to where Rachel was standing, she had already said goodbye to Paul, while the others were still talking to each other. I had noticed that Quil didn't have an imprint and Renesmee wasn't here, while Jacob was. I decided to ask Rachel.
"Quil's imprint, Claire, is actually a three year old," she told me. "Don't worry, Quil right now is just a play mate, nothing serious. But she was getting a bath," Rachel told me. I smiled at the idea of Quil following a three year old with a bunch of Barbie's in his hands and make up on his face. "Renesmee, is out with her family, hunting," Rachel whispered. This surprised me, I thought they didn't know the Cullens were vampires.
"Please," Rachel said. "We're not idiots, we can figure it out. Once you hear the stories tonight, you'll see it's so easy to do." The last couple finally said goodbye, Shannon and Collin. All of us, including Cameron, stood in the family room and watched our loves walk out of the house. Once the door closed I let out a heavy sigh.
"It doesn't get easier," Kim said, hearing how sad I was. "If anything, it gets harder." That didn't help much but I knew that I would have these people to help me do it.
"Sooo… What are we doing?" I asked them.
"Truth or dare! Truth or dare!" Cameron shouted out like a girl. We all busted out laughing but nodded in agreement. We all sat on the couches and started.
"Alright…Kim! Truth or dare?" Cameron started. Kim thought for as moment.
"Truth," she said. Cameron smiled wide.
"How many times have you dreamed about having sex with Jared, before he imprinted and after?" Kim blushed a deep red, and looked down.
"I don't know," she muttered.
"Oh, come on Kim! We all know you've at least played with the idea," Cameron said.
"Fine! 5 times!" she shouted at him. Jen cracked up along with Cameron and pretty soon everyone was laughing, even Kim. "Okay…Shannon, truth or dare?" Kim asked her.
"Dare!" Shannon said excitedly.
"I dare you to…Bark whenever one of them says your name and when you have to go to the bathroom you have to say 'Gotta go mark my territory'," Kim managed to say through giggles. I couldn't help myself, I busted out laughing, and tears were actually coming through my eyes. Shannon pouted, and glared at me.
"Fine, I'll do it. But Ryann…truth or dare?" Shannon asked with a smile. Oh god. Truth, and reveal something really bad about myself or dare, make a complete fool of myself.
"Dare," I said. Shannon's smile got wider.
"You have to strip for Seth," she said. This time I was the one who sat still while everyone else fell out of their chair in laughter. I sat there and stared off into face. It's not that I mind being naked in front of someone, it's just it's…Seth. What if he rejects me? What if he just notices that I'm not beautiful at all? Stupid thoughts, right? But still….
"Alright," I said with a sigh. They still laughed as I moved on to Jen, who picked Truth….
*****************************************************************************8
"Shannon!" Collin called out.
"Roof!" Shannon said. I held back my laugh.
"Shannon?" Collin asked her, coming closer.
"Roof!" Shannon obvious realized how much of an idiot she looked like because she flushed tomato red.
"Shannon? Shannon, what's wrong? Shannon!" Collin said worriedly.
"Roof! Roof! Roof!" Shannon said, while shooting glares at us, who could barely keep the laughs in. "Excuse me, I've go to mark my territory," she said while running into the bathroom. This time we all burst out laughing, I even dropped to the floor, along with Jen, Rachel, and Kim. The boys and Leah stood dumbfounded for a moment. Then they came over to our sides, Seth's arms picked me up and he cradled me against his chest.
"Truth or dare, again?" Seth asked me in my ear. I giggled and nodded.
"And she had the best dare ever!" Nikki told him, overhearing our conversation. I blushed and hopped out of Seth's arms.
"Oh," Seth said with a curious smile. "And what may that be?" he asked me.
"Um…nothing," I said, shooting glares at Nikki, who smiled wide at me. Seth raised an eyebrow.
"Nikki, what was it?" Seth asked her, ignoring my glare at him.
"She has to strip for you!" She yelled. Everyone stopped talking and looked at me, so I looked down and the blush returned. Then everyone started laughing, including Seth. I ran to where the bathroom was and banged on the door.
"Shannon! Open up! I have to mark my territory too!" I shouted, only making everyone laugh harder.
************************************************************************8
The bone fire was…AWESOME!! Renesmee joined us, and so did Claire, but really all she did was play with Quil. It made me laugh so hard when she hit him because he said a mean joke to Jacob. There was a big feast, filled with all my favorite foods; hot dogs, corn on the cob, hamburgers, chips, soda, candy…everything. I was eating just as much as the wolves, if not more.
The stories of the cold ones, and the first shifted interested me. It really made me think about my "family", if you could call it a family. My mom and dad were both Native Americans, but from two totally different tribes. I was interested in how the men first became wolves, I had never asked how my family got the way it was. We were just born that way, it was our nature. After it ended Seth drove me to my house, I was finally going to get my alone time.
But when we arrived, I felt them, those eyes. I breathed in deep, trying to find the scent, but I couldn't in my human form as good as I could in my other form.
"Do you smell anything?" I asked Seth casually. He breathed in deep.
"No, why?" He asked me. I shrugged like it was nothing, but in truth this scared me.
"No reason, just thought I smelt something funny," I said simply as I opened my front door. I was about to step in but Seth picked me up from behind, like a bride, and carried me inside. He kicked the door shot with his foot and I squealed before started to kiss him. He kissed me back and let me down on the couch. He hovered over me, but he kept all of his weight off of me, his hands keeping him up. His kisses moved down my neck.
"Do I…get that…strip show…" he said through kisses. I smiled and I felt his lips also pull into a smile. I pushed him off of me, which he allowed so that he was sitting on his knees at the end of the couch.
"No, you don't get a show," I said firmly to him. He pouted at me.
"But it was a dare," he said sadly.
"Yeah, but not a double dog dare," I said simply. "Then, I would have to do it."
"Fine, I double dog dare you to strip for me," he said with a smile. I laughed and stood up. My fingers were at the buttons of my purple colored t-shirt. He smiled wider.
"Umm…no," I said with a laugh while dropping my arm and cuddling up close to him. He let out a sigh but wrapped his arms around me.
"You know, you are such a tease," he whispered in my ear. I leaned my head against his chest.
"Yeah, I know," I said with a sigh. "But you still love me."
"Of course I love you," Seth said. "I love you no matter what," he said truthfully. I smiled a little but inside I didn't know what I was doing.
How can you do this to Seth? How can you just sit here and tell him you love him when you're lying to him? How can you let him tell you he loves you, when he doesn't know you or what you are?
Shut up!!! I yelled at myself.
"I love you to Seth, with all my heart, soul, mind, and body," I said.
"Yet I get no strip show?" he joked. I smiled at his thought, it was appealing. All those worries I had early today were silly, I realized that now. He truly did love me. No he truly did love the person you are pretending to be. Shut up!
"Well, you can wait, in till I'm ready," I told him stubbornly.
"I'll wait forever, if that's what you want," he told me, his voice filled with love.
"Kay," I mumbled. My eyelids started to drop, I was tired. He noticed.
"Go to sleep Ryann," he whispered. "It's okay." Was the last thing I heard before I fell into a comfortable dream.
