In this chapter Brie meets Aspen, Alyssa, Cassidy and Summer. (All My Characters.) Also in this chapter Brie meets Jacob's pack. I followed the last book of who was in Jacob's pack. This chapter is longer then the rest because I'm writing chapter 9 and I have no idea when I will be finished. Happy reading. Enjoy.
The next couple of days followed the same boring routine. I went to school, I went home, I cooked I cleaned, I did my homework. I was the perfect teenager my mother wanted me to be. I was bored but I also wanted to stay alive. Charlie recommends I get a job to help the time pass. I had no idea why I would work if I already had money it seemed pointless to me so working as out of the question. I'm not spoiled but I have come accustomed to the lifestyle my parents raised me to. I didn't spend money like a spoiled rich kid from the hills, I was smart about my spending my parents taught me responsibly and I gave back to charities.
I haven't been to the Cullen's in a week. Today is Friday and I wanted, needed something to do after I got out of school. I wasn't going to sit at home alone another Friday. I could hang out with Jacob if he wanted my company I thought about as I got ready for school.
I was early to English the class I had with Jace. I wonder if he would ask why I didn't call or if I got his note. I could use a friend but I had a feeling he wanted to be more than that to me. I sat in my usual sit and waited. The class started to full up but no Jace. I assumed he was running late.
I continued with my day, math class was slow manly because I finished my math quiz so fast. I had nothing to do for the rest of the period. I started to day dream as I looked out the window, it was cloudy but the sun was out. I thought about my mother. What she might be doing at this very moment. Did she miss me? How was Lux adjusting to me not being around? I emailed updates every day telling her how good I was doing. She was very pleased with me.
I jumped when I bell rang. I handed in my quiz and walked to my locker I put my books and my bag inside. I walked to the lunchroom alone. I had a salad and some water. I sat at the same table I had when Jace was with me the other day. I noticed four girls staring at me. They got up and walked over to me.
"Hi, I'm Aspen. This is Alyssa, Cassidy and Summer." She Said holding out the hand that didn't have a tray.
"I'm Gabriella Carson." I said shaking her hand and waving to the others. I had no idea why I said my name that way I never used Gabriella when I met new people. I wanted to be known as Brie or Gabby. Aspen looked like one of those mean girls like the one from those teen movies. She had a small ivory model face, long blonde hair with blue eyes and was super perky maybe a cheerleader. She had a slim fit body and was average height.
"We noticed you were sitting alone. Can we join you?" Alyssa asked me and I motioned for them to sit. "It's not easy being the new kid." She added. She must be second in charge when the cheerleader wasn't in school. Alyssa had a tan heart shaped face, shoulder length black silky hair. She was about the same size as the first one that spoke.
"I haven't had any trouble so far." I said putting on a smile trying to eat my salad.
"Your eyes are really pretty, are they hazel?'' Cassidy asked taking a sip of her water.
"Thank you, yes they are hazel but they are more brown than green." Cassidy was different from her group in size, shape and personality. She was genuinely sweet. She had long brown curly hair and green eyes, with a cubby face and a cubby body to fit it. She didn't wear the same designer things her group did either. I could see myself being friends with her.
Summer was the only one who didn't speak to me. She was pretty with red hair and green eyes like Scarlett Johansson. She had these great check bones. She too had a slim fit figure. I didn't see much in her personality. What I could put up from her was that she was a follower.
"So where's your family from?" Aspen asked.
"Arizona."
"Wow, how is it there, pretty warm huh?" She asked. I was becoming annoyed but I didn't want to be rude.
"Yes it is warm. Is there a real reason why you sat with me today?" I asked wanting them to get to the point.
They all looked at each other like they just remembered they had a plan. I could read their minds and find out but I wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth.
"We wanted to know if you're the fifth." Aspen asked.
"The fifth what?" The bell rang and they shot up so fast intending not the answer my question so I asked again. "Am I the fifth what?"
"Forget it we have to go we are going to be late for class?" Aspen called behind her as they walked away.
My last two classes were a blur. I couldn't concentrate I had no idea what those girls where talking about. The fifth, the fifth of what? I thought about just reading their minds and finding out. I was probably just over reacting to the question.
I was done with school and happy to be. When I got the house I pulled in but I didn't get out my car. I sat there with the engine on. Not long after Jacob knocked on the window.
"Jake. Nice to see you." I said as my window continued to roll down.
"Yeah same here, do you have any plans for today? Bella told me the situation; she said you would be bored out your mind by now." He said with a cute half smile.
"Bella knows me to well. I don't have anything planed what do you have in mind?"
"A trip to La Push. You can meet my pack."
"Great I get to meet some more werewolves. Let's go." I said switching places with Jake. I let him drive so we could get there faster. "So who's in your pack?"
"Four others, three boys and one girl." Jacob said with a smile.
"Interesting." I watched Jacob and the road. I was itching to ask about Bella and her change in becoming a vampire. I could tell they were close. I just didn't know how to start.
"Something on your mind?"
"Huh?" I turned and look at Jake.
"It looks like you're thinking about something. Do you want to talk about it?" I really enjoyed Jacobs's company. He was really nice and sweet and he paid attention to everything.
"Actually I wanted to know about Bella changing into a vampire?"
"It's kind of a long story." Jacob said keeping his attention to the road.
"You can just think about it and I'll read your mind. I can access your memory. You won't have to speak and it will just take a minute."
"Okay that sounds easy enough."
I closed my eyes and concerted on Jacob's mind. I found what I was looking for Bella and Jake was best friends and almost more at some point. Jacob really cared about her. Bella loved Jacob too just not the same way she loved Edward. What a love triangle. I saw the things she went through with James, Victoria, the new born army, and the Volturi. Bella's love for Edward was too great for her to let anything stop her from being with him. I also saw the battle that could have been the battle that I could have lost Bella.
My car stopped and I rush threw the last images I saw was the birth of Renesmee, Bella turning into a vampire. I saw the imprint of Jacob and Renesmee.
I got all I needed from Jacob. "That was intense." I said getting out the car.
"Did you see enough?" Jacob said handing me my keys.
"Yeah I did. You did really well focusing on the important details."
We went inside his house it was red and small, cozy small. It was surrounding by the forest and a small garage that was a couple yards from the house. "The guys should be coming soon." Jacob said gesturing me to sit on the couch. "Seth, Embry, and Quil, do you want something to eat or drink?" He asked handing to his small kitchen.
"Nice names, No thanks I'm fine." I answered a little excited.
"Okay, there all good guys." Jacob said with a mouth full of food.
I got up to wait outside. I had no idea why I couldn't keep still. I was about to meet werewolves not the president. I leaned on the wall of Jake's house. I started fidgeting with my hair and clothes. I was wearing a black long sleeved shirt, dark blue jeans and black Uggs. I hope we don't go hiking.
Jacob came out his house laughing. "What you have on is fine."
"Thanks."
"Here they come."
Just like that three boys walked along a path turning towards Jacob's house. All three guys were tall and muscular with dark colored hair. The smallest in height caught my eye. He was the same russet color as Jacob. He also looked like Jacob.
As he got closer to us I noticed how beautiful he was. Yes I said beautiful, he was beautiful and he was a guy. He was the only thing on my mind. I wonder if he felt this too. "This is not happening." Jacob said interrupting my thoughts but I couldn't take my eyes off him.
Jacob introduced me. "Seth, Embry, Quil this is Brie Bella's cousin. Brie is staying with Charlie this year."
"You're Beautiful." Seth said and I couldn't help but smile.
"Are you okay Seth?" Embry asked.
"I'm fine Embry, I think we imprinted." Seth let out.
"Yeah you did everyone in the house." Jacob commanded.
I took my eyes off Seth to get back in the house. I noticed the other two boys. I couldn't tell who Embry was and who Quil was because I didn't pay attention when Jacob introduced them. I peeked in their minds and found out who was who. Embry was the tallest compared to Seth and Quil. He had gorgeous brown eyes, round muscles and a dimpled chin.
Quil was shorter than Embry but no shorter than Seth. Quil had dark brown eyes, a small face and a buzz cut. They all were the same russet color as Jacob.
"Nice, she is stunning." Quil said hi fiving Seth.
"I can't believe this Seth is only eighteen." Embry said.
"You better believe it because it just happened." Jacob said.
"What exactly is an imprint?" I asked looking at Jacob but Seth began to answer.
"Imprinting is when you find your soul mate and nothing else in the world matters." Seth answered his voice was like velvet to my ears. I was melting. I had crazy butterflies in my stomach. Seth was making it hard to focus.
"Wait till Leah hears about this." Embry said elbowing Seth.
"Leah is?" I asked in a little of a Jealous tone.
"Leah is my sister." Seth said reassuring me. I wanted to meet his family I hope they like me.
"There is something about me I want all of you to know. I can read minds and do a little telekinesis. That's how I communicate mostly I don't use the phone. I just thought you might need a heads up if I ever called one of you. I don't want to freak you out." I finished.
"It's like you have wolf ability." Seth said smiling.
"There is lots of weird around here." Quil added.
I felt so accepted in their pack even though I wasn't a real werewolf. I fit in perfectly.
"Brie and I wanted you guys to join us on a run. This is Brie's first time to La Push we should also show here around. She really enjoys running though so we should start with that." Jacob said. Jake was making me blush.
"Sure." Seth spoke first.
"I'm up for it." Quil said.
"Once we start running Leah will know everything." Embry said to Jacob.
"I know we will have to be prepared if she does." Jacob said simply.
Jacob, Seth, Quil, and Embry left the house minutes before me to phase. I walked out of Jacob's house and I was looking at four huge wolves a reddish-brown one, one sandy, one gray with spots, and a chocolate brown one. I knew exactly which one was Seth, the sandy fur one a little smaller than the rest.
Seth lowered himself so I can ride on his back. "Thanks." I said rubbing the back of this head. Seth let out a soft purr. We were off to see La Push. I thought Charlie's house had a lot of green behind it La Push was beautiful. So many different shades of brown and green, the smell of the ocean and fresh air was enough to take your breath away.
I lowered my head to whisper in Seth's ear even though I didn't have to, he could hear me if I spoke aloud or in my mind. "Can we visit the beach; I would love to see the sunset." I whispered. The others keep running south while Seth and I continued to the beach.
I started to feel chilled so I lowered my body closer to Seth to keep warm.
Do you want to go back? Seth asked concerned.
No, I'm fine, plus watching this sunset will be a romantic first date. I responded.
Okay. Seth said.
The beach was gorgeous, instead of tan or white sand it had dark brown maybe black colored sand it looked like tiny black rocks and the water was a dark blue with some tree logs shattered the beach surrounded by land and forest. I sat on a log while Seth phased back. I curled up next to him when he came back; he made it just in time for the sunset. The sun glistened on the water making it shine with a funny shade of red and orange. Everything was perfect, Seth, life, home.
I was playing in Seth's hair when he shot up in a defensive pose. "What is it Seth?" I asked standing up behind him. "My sister is coming." He answered pulling my phone out my pocket. I didn't move or object. A large gray wolf was running toward us and running fast. She was just as big as the other wolves I met.
"Don't worry about her; she won't hurt you." Seth said.
"Does she want to?" I asked. Seth dialed a number on my phone pushing me farther behind him.
"Jake, Leah's at the beach."
"We'll be there in a minute."
"Be faster than that Jake." Seth hanged up and put my phone back in my pocket without looking, his eyes focused on Leah. She was growling and showing teeth. Seth blocked her from me.
Get out of the way Seth. I heard her say.
I hadn't noticed but I was shaking. What did she want with me? What did she plan on doing to me? Why was she so mad? "Leah calm down." Seth yelled interrupting my thoughts.
Jacob, Embry and Quil showed up flanking either side of Jake. It was dark now just moon light to light the sky. Jacob took Seth's spot in front of me. Seth ran a few paces behind me; I knew he wouldn't leave me here. He came back in seconds in wolf form. Seth lowered himself and I quickly got on with no hesitation. Leah howled at that.
Seth ran us back to Jacob's house where my car sat on the side of the road. I got in my car on the passenger's side. I wanted for Seth to phase back, no way could I drive I was still shaking. Seth came back with shorts no shirt. Any other time I would have loved the distraction of watching him half naked. I couldn't concentrate on his body right then.
"Are you okay?" He asked all ready knowing the answer.
"A little shaken up but otherwise I'm fine. What is wrong with your sister?" I asked trying not to shutter.
"She is upset that I've imprinted with a Swan, she thinks you will break my heart. Like how Bella did to Jacob.
"Your sister is insane, plus my last name is Carson." I said letting out a laugh.
Seth let out a laugh and started my car and pulled off. He turned on the heat sensing my shaking was cause by the cold now. He was right I was cold. "Nice ride." He said. We were close to Forks now. "Thanks." I said. I couldn't take my eyes off him, he looked so much like Jake but that wasn't why. I enjoyed watching him it must be an imprint thing.
"So tell me something about yourself?" Seth asked breaking the silence; it wasn't an awkward silence we just weren't talking for a while.
"I'm here with my Uncle Charlie to finish my senior year at Forks; I'm kind of a rebel. My tone was sarcastic but his facial expression showed he knew there was more to the story. When I'm not defacing property I like to listen to music or go outdoors. I really like animals; I have a dog back home, Lux. He's a husky. I said.
"I'm also in my last year of school, I attend on the reversion. I too enjoy the outdoors, it's very freeing. I have a crazy sister, Leah. Oh yeah I'm a werewolf." He finished with a smile.
I couldn't help but smile back. I was in love with his smile. It made me melt. He parked my car turned off the engine and handed me my keys. The lights were off and Charlie's cruiser wasn't parked so I knew he wasn't home. I had a long day and I was tired I wanted to invite Seth in so I wouldn't be alone.
"Thanks for driving me home I had fun running and at the beach." I said getting out the car.
"No problem, I did too." Seth said reaching for my hand walking me up Charlie's steps.
I hugged him as tight as I could, not want to let go.
"I'll talk to her." Seth said giving me a kiss on my forehead.
"I'll call if I need you, good night Seth."
He said the good night and jogged off. In a few seconds he would phase and be running in wolf form. I walked straight to my room and turned my ihome on. I needed a hot shower and some mellow tunes. I hoped the combination of the two would calm me down.
After my shower I wrote my mom an email telling her about my day leaving out the werewolf part and imprint part. I told her about Seth and La Push. I lay in my bed with my music still playing. I started to think about Seth, I wanted to be in his warm arms, to smell his sent of earth and wolf.
Seth.
Yes, Brie.
Are you safe?
Yes, I'm with Jake.
Tell him I said thanks and goodnight again.
Okay I will, night Brie.
Tonight I will dream about my Seth.
Thank you for reading. Please review. What you guys thing about Brie and Seth imprinting?
