Hey everyone thanks to everyone who read and reviewed the last chapter I really appreciate it, sorry this chapter took so long, now along with the story!
Enjoy!
::::::::
"It's complicated…."
"Oh, well I guess I'll see you later 'night." I smiled slowly baking away from the door.
"Yeah 'night I'll drive you to school tomorrow." he said quickly before closing the door.
I stood in the hall frozen in place; Ash has never acted like that before. Every time he had a problem he'd lock his door and only open it up for me. When our dog died when I was five and Ash was seven Asia said we could always get a new one when Ash and I cried all night in each others room. When he first phoned Billy I sat up with him and let him talk it all out. I've always been there for Ash and he's always been there for me, what changed?
He probably needs time, I can give him time. When he needs me he'll come to me, I'll only push him away if I badger him into telling me. I slowly backed away from his door and turned in the direction to the stairs. I quickly but quietly walked down the stairs in the dark, my mouth felt dry with the realisation that maybe Ash didn't need me as much as I needed him. Ash was my own personal happy pill and if he pulled away inch by inch I'd lose my pick me up. Ash has always been distant to everyone else but I was the only person that he let in, not even his friends that he spent most of his time around, it was me. Even if his problem was something I wouldn't understand he still told me because I would always listen and keep it a secret.
I moved my way to the cupboard pulling out a glass before moving over to the sink. I wiped away the mist on the window with the dish towel that was lying on the counter before placing it back and looking out of the window. I checked the dark mysterious forest; it had always been a habit of mine since I was seven to look out the window before I went to bed. I scanned the green trees that looked black; I could barely see the moon. Standing right in the middle of the trees was a silvery-gray blob; I looked closely to see it wasn't a blob because it had a face and eyes. The eyes looked almost human and confusingly familiar. It was a tall as a horse but it wasn't a horse it was more like…a wolf.
"What the hell," I whispered removing more of the mist and looking more closely.
God Amethyst! Get a grip, honestly first with Paul and now you think you've seen a freaking wolf! Take a sip of water and blink before looking again, Do it!
I took a deep breath before taking a sip of water from the glass before reluctantly looking out the window again. The wolf was still there but closer, it howled a low husky sound making me jump out of shock in the process dropping the glass. It smashed onto the floor cracking into a million pieces, making a puddle of water with chips of glass.
"Amethyst!" Ash called running down the stairs to where I was, he probably heard the smash and came to find out what it was. "What happened?" Ash said freezing at the door of the kitchen.
"T-there's a w-wolf, outside," I stuttered not realising I had tears in my eyes until now.
I watched as Ash unlocked the back door before peeping out, my heart was beating so hard I thought it was going to burst through my chest. Ash locked the door behind himself before moving slowly over to me.
"Ame there isn't a wolf outside," he whispered taking my hand but I knew there was I saw it.
"There was I s-saw it," I mumbled dodging around the puddle.
"I'll clean this up but you need to get to bed," Ash said softly picking me up bridle style.
Ash carried me up the stairs and into my room laying me gently under the covers. I was out of it, I was shaking and I couldn't think straight. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out but my dreams were intruded by the silver wolf.
::::::::
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock beeping, I really hate that noise. It's so annoying and honestly why would you want to wake up to that in the morning? I shook my head to clear my thoughts before climbing out of bed.
I quickly grabbed the things I would need and walked to the bathroom that was at the other end of the hall. I placed them on the counter and turned on the water, I brushed my hair before checking to see if the water was hot enough, when it was I jumped in letting it wash away all my negative energy from my dreams last night. I used my favourite strawberry shampoo and conditioner. I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face.
I walked back to my room locking the door behind myself before walking to my closet. I wanted too shock everyone, I pulled on a pair of royal blue skinny jeans, a flo yellow tutu on top of my jeans, a grey top with the powers rangers printed on it, a pink love heart necklace and a pair of pale pink converse. I curled my hair and added a cute bird hair clip to the side; I applied some blue eyeliner for the make up and I was ready. I looked myself once over in the mirror happy with the outcome before dancing out of my room and to Ash's door.
I knocked softly on the door, before peeping inside. I couldn't help but laugh softly, we had only arrived yesterday and already his room was a bomb sight, the exact replica of his room back in Seattle. His clothes were scattered everywhere, I walked to his bed dodging them in the process.
"Ash," I whispered pocking him in the side, he mumbled a little before turning around to face me. "Ash," I said louder pocking him harder.
"What," he mumbled pulling the covers over his face.
"Ash, you need to wake up and take me to school." I reminded him irritated.
"Fine, fine, fine, wait in the car I'll be there in a minute." He mumbled into his pillow shooing me away.
I sighed before leaving his room, just yesterday in the car he was fine but when he talked to Jacob and Billy he suddenly changed. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, just like Ash had said the glass had been cleaned up. I smiled before leaving the kitchen and walking outside to the car, I tried to open the door only to find that it was freaking locked. I groaned before leaning against the door looking at the porch waiting for Ash.
He walked out five minutes later looking like…well like he just woke up. His hair was messier that usual and he looked like he chucked on the first thing he found. I shook my head at him while he yawned and unlocked the door. I climbed in after him pulling my ipod out of the socket and plugging in my earphones before playing my 'wake-up songs' playlist.
"Can you walk home, because I work until five?" He asked before yawning again as we pulled into the side of the road right in front of the school gaining everyone's attention.
"Sure, I'll see you later." I smiled before climbing out of the car shutting the door behind me.
I watched as Ash drove away before taking a deep breath and turning towards L.P.H.S (a.k.a. La push high school it just sounds better less boring.) It was anything like my last school, it was small and like a colony of orange buildings with numbers on them. I looked around everyone's faces and couldn't help but smirk I guess it wasn't every day someone new moved in to town, even better someone like me.
"Amethyst!" I instantly heard Paul calling my name; I looked around and found him standing at a tree with the rest of the guys.
I quickly walked over to them holding my head high and basically ignoring the stares. "Hey," I smiled looking into Paul's eyes. His eyes seemed even more familiar now, like the….no, Paul can't be a wolf! Wow Ame you've really lost it.
"I need to go get my schedule I'll see you later," I said quickly not waiting for an answer before I turned and walked towards the office.
The whole thing last night has just completely petrified me and seeing Paul only made my fears from last night hit me full force. His eyes were familiar but he can't be a wolf, they things just don't happen. It goes against nature, and more importantly everything I've ever known. La push was supposed to be my escape from everything, my old life. No more parties, none of the things that I did that were wrong. La push was supposed to be a small town where nothing happens, not a town where freaking wolfs run around in the forest at night.
I walked into the office where a woman with fire red hair sat behind a mahogany desk. The room was warmer outside but I never really notice the change in the temperature. I walked over to her confidently, but in my head I was still thinking of Paul and the wolf and how similar they seemed, when I bet they don't have any connection together at all.

P.P.O.V. (Paul's point of view)
I'm so stupid, she probably hates me now. I watched her practically run to the office in all her unusual glory, I groaned before turning around a hitting my head off the tree. I'm such a freaking idiot; I should have run when I saw her look out the window. I've ruined everything, she hates me, and I know it. Or maybe she's worked it out….crap, double crap. She hates me and she might know, well done dumb ass. You've officially ruined everything.
"Paul stop hitting your head against the tree! Everyone's looking at you!" Jacob hissed turning me around to face him. "What the hell's wrong with you!" he hissed pushing me away from the tree.
"I'm stupid and Amethyst probably hates me," I mumbled hitting my face in my hands.
"She can't hate you, you're her soul mate." Kim comforted me, poorly I might add, from Jared's lap as everyone huddled around our picnic bench.
"Thanks Kim," I mumbled sarcastically earning a growl from Jared.
"I don't see what the big deal is, she saw you in your wolf form so what?" Seth shrugged grabbing a handful of gummy bears from the bag Collin was holding.
"Yeah, what is the big deal?" Brandy asked while Collin nodded in agreement putting the bag of precious gummy bears back in his bag.
"You didn't see her face, she looked petrified but it wasn't like any normal thing it was of me. Then she dropped a glass and Ash came down and he saw me. It just kept getting worse and worse." I sighed getting up just in time to watch my angel walk into the school building.
::::::::::
A.P.O.V. (Amethyst's point of view)
"Hi, I'm Amethyst King. I just moved here," I said to the red headed woman who from the plaque on her desk was called Mrs. Reed.
"Oh yes, here is your schedule, a map of the school and get your teacher to sign this slip of paper before bringing it back at the end of the day." She said sweetly too sweetly that it sounded fake.
"Thanks," I smiled taking the pile from her outstretched hand.
"Oh and this is you're locker key and the combination number," she added smiling a fake cheesy smile like the airhostesses.
I smiled at her before picking up everything and walking out of the office. I could feel a lot of eyes staring at me, I didn't have to look up to know it was Paul and everyone else. I took a deep breath before rushing into the school building.
:::::::
This dam school is supposed to be small; I'm ten minutes late because I can't find my freaking locker. Who would have thought it would be so hard to find 304, in a school that only has 330 lockers all together.
"Need help?" I looked up to see Paul smiling slightly leaning casually against the lockers, even though I still haven't forgotten about the wolf but my heart still started to beat faster.
"Yeah I can't seem to find my locker," I admitted sheepishly looking down at my shoes.
"What number is it?" he asked, as I looked up I saw his eyes dancing with amusement.
"304," I mumbled looking through my schedule, I was supposed to be in algebra and I'm not complaining.
"You're really bad at this, aren't you?" he laughed pointing to the locker he was standing beside.
"I am," I laughed nervously taking my key and moving towards my locker.
"So what are you missing," Paul asked casually leaning against the lockers while I placed the map inside and my ipod. Now that I think about it why did I even need to come here. God I'm so stupid, I really need to start having breakfast.
"Algebra building 3, I've got to go see you at lunch." I said quickly running in the direction on my class room.
::::::
I burst into building 3 and plastered my best smile on my face, this was a emergency. I walked to the teacher who was standing in the middle of the room, looking really angry with me, oops.
"I'm Amethyst King and I'm new. I'm really sorry but I'm terrible with directions," I admitted sheepishly with a shrug.
"Oh well since your new I'll let you off but next time I won't. now find a seat and be quite." He instructed turning away to the board.
"Sir, you need to sign this slip," I said waving the slip in the air.
He held out his hand and I placed the slip in his hand. Once he signed the piece of paper he told me to find me own seat. I looked over at the class for the first time since I got here. There were a lot of people with brown hair but some fake blondes. At the back I saw a girl with honey coloured hair hiding away from everyone else. I smiled before dancing my way over to her.
"Hey I'm Amethyst, do you mind if I sit next to you?" I asked in a whisper smiling.
"If you want too," she said quietly blushing.
:::::::
The girl I sat beside, who I found out was called Caitlin, was really sweet and nice. We were opposites but we were friends. We had the same classes up until lunch; she didn't sit next to anyone in any class so I sat next to her. She told me that she got bullied because of her weight and that was why nobody sat next to her. I realised that this school was kind of shallow.
"Do you want to sit with me at lunch?" she asked quietly her green eyes shinning with nervousness.
"I'd love to, just let me get my lunch and then we can sit outside okay?" I smiled before walking with her trailing behind, I had picked my ipod up after algebra because I noticed I knew all the work and the teachers either didn't notice or didn't care. I placed the ear phones in my ear and pressed play while walking to the line with Caitlin trailing behind. Frankmusik burst through the earphones making it really hard not to dance; I picked up a fruit salad and a bottle of water before paying.
I scanned the crowd while Caitlin got her lunch; I spotted Paul who was waving enthusiastically. I couldn't help but laugh at him, he was just too cute. Once I knew Caitlin was behind me I started over to Paul's table.
"Hey, can we sit with you?" I asked everyone at the table.
"Sure," they said in union as Paul pulled out a seat for me beside him, I took my seat and pointed to the one beside me for Caitlin.
"How's your first day been?" Kim asked while Paul smirked.
"It wasn't funny I didn't even need to find it," I complained glaring at Paul before turning my head and smiling at Kim. "It's been…good," I shrugged while Paul finally couldn't hold his laughter anymore.
Everyone was looking at us strangely and since Paul was still laughing I had to explain why he was laughing, so not only was Paul laughing everyone else just thought 'Hey let's all laugh at Amethyst' yeah thanks a lot.
We talked about random things, mostly making fun of someone or something. I noticed that Caitlin wasn't really joining in, which bothered me because she should. I'm not being mean but she really needs friends from what I know.
"So Caitlin, have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?" I asked randomly.
"Not really, you?" she mumbled quietly.
"Yeah, I'm definitely getting one." I smiled.
After that she joined in more but not much. By the end of lunch I could call Paul my best friend but it was kind of more than that, and plus everyone else was my friend except Kim seemed to be distant and always question my choice of clothes out of nowhere.
I realised that I had English with Paul straight after lunch and Art with nobody which I was glad. Art is my favourite subject and I love to shut of the rest of the world to focus on what I'm doing and nothing else. at the end of the day I was exhausted, after handing my slip in and telling that annoying red headed receptionist how my day was I walked home and luckily for me it wasn't raining.
::::::::
(Third person, at Sam's house)
"Why were you outside my house?" Ash shouted storming into Sam's house, where Paul and everyone was sitting in the kitchen fighting over food.
Everyone stopped what they were doing as they watched Ash shake glaring at everyone in the room. he didn't know who it was but they scared the living daylights out of Ame and that wasn't cool. He was fine with the whole werewolf thing but why the hell were they outside his house watching his little sister, that's all he wanted to know.
"Look Ash Paul's sorry but we told you about imprinting and Amethyst is Paul's imprint," Sam tried to calm Ash but it wasn't helping it was making him shake more brutally.
"She's sixteen, she doesn't need a freaking soul mate!" he shouted glaring at Paul who was now standing shaking as brutally as him.
"You don't now anything about what she wants let her decide!" Paul shouted back losing his temper; Ash doesn't know anything about his angel's feelings.
Sam pushed Ash outside while Jacob handled Paul, with everyone else following.
"I don't know anything! You're freaking kidding me; I've known her for sixteen years and been her best friend since I was six! You can't say I know nothing when you've only known her two freaking days!" Ash shouted shaking so brutally that he was a blur.
Suddenly the shaking creased and a chocolate covered wolf was standing looking like he was about to tackle Paul to the ground but when he looked around decided he didn't want anything to do with any of them and ran full speed for the forest never looking back.
