AN: This takes place between chapters 4 and 5, but I thought it'd be good to see this from Sammy's point of view. Let me know what you guys think in a review :)

Chapter 7

Sammy Uley's POV

"Vampire alert. Pack meeting after school." Vanessa announced and I forced myself not to roll my eyes at my sister. She took being the Beta a little too seriously. I shot her a warning glance, as I was the Alpha, but she was busy looking elsewhere.

Of the eighteen children on the entire reservation, between Vanessa and me, everything got protected. We rarely had to patrol since there was no threat...until now.

I sniffed the air, though my chest felt pinched as an old familiar Rabbit pulled into the dirt patch better known as La Push High parking lot. I tried to push back my fear, though the tightness in my chest didn't feel like usual fear. No, this was something else, I just couldn't put my finger on it until I saw her.

The two behind her, a boy and a girl, each were dressed spiffily, but she was breathtaking. I didn't care that she looked like she owned the place with her wardrobe when I had on holey jeans and a now fading t-shirt on. I wished that I had dressed up more for my first day of school now though, because looking at her, I could tell that she cared about appearances.

Her big brown eyes met mine as she scanned the crowd of locals with a huge smile on her face. She tucked a piece of her curly long black ringlets behind her ear when she spotted my stare. I couldn't help it though. This girl, whoever she was, was going to have to get used to my staring. That's what wolves did to their imprints: stared at them lovingly for their entire lives.

I saw the girl next to her smile shyly though there was fear in her eyes, but it was hard to focus on the other girl when all of my thoughts drifted back to my imprint. There was no gravity keeping me on the Earth, there were no other people around us, and there was nothing on my mind but this gorgeous girl.

I shook my head and tried to focus; if there was an attack, the Alpha should know what the enemy looked like. Glittery pale russet skin, brown eyes with a hint of gold, long straight brown hair, and a scent of maple trees in the air. The boy behind them was pale, bright green eyes with a gold hint, short spikey bronze-black hair, and smelled like a vampire.

I tried to think of what their names were supposed to be. I know that Dad had talked about Jacob and Nessie's children and how their whole family was sort of run off the Reservation just after the triplet's births. Carlie, Rosie, and EJ. I smiled as I saw my imprint and put a name to that beautiful face: Carlie Cullen-Black.

Rosie growled and Jacob had to restrain her behind him. Even though he left the Rez before I was born, I instantly recognized him from my dad's memories. He looked exactly the same, being the only original wolf that still phased despite having children.

His wife Renesme Cullen got out of the car and stood protectively in front of EJ. She was beautiful but, again, I could only sort of see her. My mind flooded with the image of my imprint and suddenly I couldn't even see Nessie's face.

"But Daddy! They keep making fun of EJ!" Rosie whined, pointing at Vanessa angrily. My sister, of course, growled defensively. "She thinks you should be ashamed of EJ and Mama. And Cousin Joey is thinking things much worse!"

But I wasn't even listening to Rosie because Carlie was walking towards me. She smiled, introduced herself, and when I did the same, she asked if she could sit next to me. I did one better, and pulled her into my lap. I felt whole with her this close to me. She looked just as happy to be in my arms as I was to have her there.

"Calm down Jazz, you can't control anyone's thoughts but your own." Carlie commented when she finally noticed her sister throwing a fit. "Besides, you could always have EJ shield their thoughts from you if it bugs you that much."

EJ didn't seem to be caring that everyone was staring at him or that his sisters were talking about him. His eyes were glued on Sara's and, to my shock, hers were stuck on his. But...but, how was that possible? Sara wasn't a wolf!

Suddenly, the air shifted and a small grey wolf was standing in front of our group. EJ stood in front of Sara protectively, and I tried to force Carlie behind me as well, but she just stood up proudly like she was ready to fight if need be. I choked back a sob when I noticed that my little sister Tia was the one who now was in wolf form.

Rosie phased too and I tried to suppress my urge to phase as well. Jacob phased and both girls whimpered when he barked to give them a command. He was still the rightful Alpha after all. Nessie handed Tia and Rosie both sets of clothing from the truck and the two wolves retreated to the bushes.

"I want that shirt back when you're done." Carlie teased with a laugh. I couldn't help laughing along with her. God, her laugh lit up my world. I could hear a couple of my Pack brothers laughing along with her husky laugh and I tried to contain my joy at the fact that my imprint seemed to already be accepted.

Jacob, still in wolf form, glared at his werewolf daughter but Carlie only grinned back. She was defiant, my imprint.

"What? Come on, Daddy, you know that's my favorite shirt!" She paused, her grin widening to the familiar wolfish smile that most of us could pull off, but on her it looked like it was something completely original. "If you let me visit Aunt Alice, I'll let Tia keep it as a dishrag if she wants."

Nessie started laughing, her laugh a high pitched bell, and she nodded. She tugged on Jake's ear and he stood up straighter. His eyes met Rosie's and she nodded. Nessie got back in the truck and Jacob bounded after her, laughing the whole way.

"See the problems you've caused?" Vanessa angrily accused EJ and I tried to warn him that Sara was getting too close, her hands shaking as she tried to stand in front of her imprint. "Now we've got two more wolves and who knows how many more you've triggered?"

Sara phased and, like I assumed, EJ had been too close. EJ was laying on the ground, his arm bleeding uncontrollably, within seconds. Sara started trying to lick up his wound, but his sisters took over.

I hated that Carlie left my side even for a second, so I followed close behind, keeping her steady as she spoke to Sara's wolf form. "We need to get him to our grandfather Carlisle. Vampires can't get hurt…except by werewolves." She looked like she might cry as she spoke and I tried to control my own emotions at seeing my imprint upset.

I watched helplessly as Carlie and Rosie place EJ on Sara's back.

I tried to stop her, but before I could even call out her name, Carlie took off in the woods towards Forks. My imprint was able to phase on the spot without anyone seeing anything. She was a quicker phaser than Jacob or even temperamental Paul. I whimpered when Carlie was out of my sight, but Rosie, who was running with vampire speed, looked back at me with knowing eyes.

When Sara, with EJ on her back, tried to follow them, her brother Tim asked where she was going rudely, blocking her path. She growled and jumped around him with a quicker speed than I had seen any of the wolves possess. It was a wonder she hadn't phased sooner. Usually the stronger wolves were the first to phase in a generation. That's why my father was first in his generation, and Tessa and Vanessa were the first in ours.

I stared at Timmy and when he felt the authoritive stare, he looked at me with a gulp.

"Y-yes?" He asked, noticing how angry I looked.

"Why did you try to stop her? Didn't you see that she was just trying to take care of her imprint?" I asked, trying to control my shaking.

"Bu-but he's a half-vampire. He could kill my sister." Timmy said, startled that I was getting upset.

"He's her imprint. She needs to be with him right now." I explained, and a look crossed his face as if he didn't quite understand that that had happened. "It would kill her if she wasn't there right now."

"If anything happens to her..." Tommy piped in, joining his twin in their concern for her well-being.

"Nothing will happen. She's safe. I know that Carlie wouldn't let anything happen to anyone that matters to me." I stated with conviction. Even though I had only met my imprint a mere twenty minutes ago, I knew that it was the truth.

"Call Jacob with Dad's phone," I advised, handing them the family cell. Since no one had anyone to call that wasn't on the Rez and since most of them could communicate via Wolf Pack, there was no need for cell phones like it would be in a big city.

"Tell him that you'll cover with your parents in case EJ doesn't recover by the time school ends." I said, as Tommy struggled to find the never used number of Jacob Black. "You know Leah will freak out if she finds out that your sister phased, let alone that she imprinted on a half-vampire."

"What should I tell the rents if they ask?" Timmy asked quietly, always willing to follow my orders.

I shrugged. "Just tell them that she's at our house or something."

I turned to leave, heading in the direction that my chest was pulling me, but Vanessa glared at me. "You can't just skip school, Sammy. Daddy would whop you if he found out."

"I have to check on Sara and the injured boy. What sort of Alpha would I be if I let them go alone?" I said honestly, though I only truly cared how my imprint was feeling.
