Paul

'I can't believe you imprinted on his sister,' he heard Jacob mock inside his head. It was a week after he had imprinted, but it was still something that was commented on every time his imprint wasn't around.

'Shut up,' he growled in response. Jacob snickered in his head at the response he received from the other werewolf.

'You have to admit it's funny, Mr. Imprinting is the most horrible that that could ever happen to someone,' he commented. Another growl escaped the more temperamental wolf. While it was harder to anger the shapeshifter when he was around his imprint, it was still incredibly easy to get under his skin when she wasn't around. And using her to anger him, made it even easier than it used to be.

'At least I'm not desperately hoping to imprint on a chick that would choose a leech over me,' he bristled, feeling that anger that he pulled out of the other male. Both of them were wondering why they had been put on patrol together. But at the same time, both were still happy that they hadn't been put on patrol with Leah though. Paul for a mix of the inevitable mocking, that was somehow worse than what the other males managed, and also the bitter thoughts she had in general.

Jacob had bristled slightly at Paul's comment, but hadn't responded directly. Instead his thoughts went to ripping Edward Cullen into pieces and burning him. Paul's mind went straight to the fact that that wouldn't aid the relationship he had with the leech-lover in any way; but left him to his thoughts anyway.

In the meantime, Paul's own thoughts went back to his imprint. He'd spent a fair amount of the week, when he had nothing else to do, with Felicity. He was slowly getting to know her, and slowly learning how to make her laugh and smile. The werewolf found that she was most beautiful when she was smiling.

Though he knew, just like her brother and Emily, that the girl was definitely not telling them everything. But then again, given that they weren't telling her everything either, it seemed to him that perhaps she was picking up on their own hesitance to speak. Perhaps once they explained everything to her, which he had been told to do at the next bonfire, she would completely open up to them as well.

Paul had reached the end of the area, a place near the lining of the trees where Sam lived. He could here the sound of a guitar being played, and immediately knew that it was his imprint. The werewolf had realised that his imprint tended to play whenever she was trying to take her mind off of things. Curiously, he allowed himself to wander a bit closer so that he could see her. Felicity was biting her lip as she played, leaning against a tree on the other side; though Paul was surprised when he noticed that she was crying softly.

As her head leaned backwards she stopped playing, obviously trying to keep her sobs quiet.

'What are you doing?' he heard Jake question in his head, but he ignored the other shapeshifter. Instead the wolf shifted closer to his imprint.

Her fingers stopped strumming, and almost immediately she removed the guitar, simply setting it down on the group beside her.

"I'm sorry," she whispered into the air. Opening her eyes and looking up at the sky, she looked in pain, sad and vulnerable. "I'm sorry I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't strong enough… I should have been able to save you… none of you deserved to die," she continued barely above a whisper. Had it not been for his super-hearing, he would have never heard what she had whispered. The words that he could tell that she was desperate to get out of her system. A soft whimper left the wolf hearing her pain.

He could tell her words had even caught Jake's attention, who had a number of questions running through his head.

But he wasn't expecting the grey eyes to snap to his position the moment the whimper left his throat. He expected the way her eyes had widened in fear, but Paul definitely didn't expect the suddenly look of determination, or the way she launched herself, landing in a defensive stance as she kept her eyes on him. Her eyes narrowed at him.

"What do you want?" she asked him, her tone low, defensive and even border line threatening; both Paul, and the other wolf watching the scene through his thoughts, were in disbelief at what was happening. While her eyes were still red, she showed nothing of that. Nothing of what she typically displayed. "I'm not going to let you kill me."

The last line caught him completely off guard, and in an attempt to show her that wasn't what he had in mind he lowered himself to the ground to show submission. The girl in front of him looked confused, taking a careful step towards him.

'Paul,' Jacob's voice carried a warning to be careful, and Paul had realised the same thing as his imprint kept approaching. She approached cautiously, but with curiosity in her eyes. It was almost as though she didn't believe that he hadn't attempted to attack her. But as she got within 3 feet of him Paul felt terrified. If she got too close he could hurt her, and that was the last thing he wanted to do.

"You're not trying to kill me…" the girl whispered as she lowered herself onto her knees, merely 2 feet away from where he was. The grey eyes looked deeply into his own. "I feel like I know you," she continued after a moment of hesitance. He could almost see the thoughts running through her head. There was no sign of the fear that had been in her eyes earlier though.

It was when she reached out with a hand to get closer that he tried to press himself to the ground. He tried not to respond out of fear of hurting her. If he was Seth, maybe he wouldn't have to worry, Seth had good control over himself. Not only when it came to phasing, but in his wolf form in general. Seth seemed to control the wolf instincts a lot better than any of the other werewolves, even if they had been phasing longer than the boy. His fear overcame him as he let out a soft whimper, moving backwards before turning and running.

He could see the grey eyed girl through Jacob's thoughts, continuing to kneel on the ground where he had left her for a few moments. Finally she pushed herself to her feet, brushing the dirt off her jeans, grabbing her guitar and entering Sam's house once again.

'We need to show Sam,' Jacob said in his head, and Paul couldn't help agreeing. Finally stopping a few kilometres away, his howl pierced the otherwise silent forest, echoing between the trees.

It was less than 10 minutes until the entire pack was gathered around, all in disbelief at what they saw played over in Paul's memories.

'We need to find out what she's hiding from us,' Sam thought, his voice quiet. Everyone was wondering what exactly it was that she was hiding. What was different about her. Because no matter what, she was a part of the pack. Even if she didn't know it. Even if she shouldn't be a part of it.

She belonged there.

She belonged with Paul.


Felicity

Emily had been out shopping, and Sam suddenly left the house a few moments after Felicity reentered after her encounter with the wolf outside. Her mind was reeling. Her thoughts scattered as she tried to piece together was exactly happened. That wolf was larger than a helloed was, and it had looked terrifying. But it hadn't tried to kill her.

Her thoughts all over the place, she did the one thing that she could.

She called camp, before either her brother or Emily returned home. Having dialled the number she waited, it took three rings until someone picked up, and she was relieved when it was Chiron rather than one of the halfbloods.

"Chiron, it's me, Felicity," she opened, the desperate tone in her voice displaying in her words.

"Felicity, are you alright?" the centaur asked, the concern evident in his voice. It was the first time that she had contacted him since she had left a week earlier.

"I'm fine I think… but… I think I found the monsters that we heard the reports about," she said quietly, as though someone where in the house, though it was more a precautionary matter. "There are wolves…. massive wolves maybe two times the size of hellhounds here…"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few moments as Chiron processed the information given to him by the young demigod. He almost regretted sending only the child of Athena in that moment, fearing for her safety.

"I'll send a satyr to come get you," he finally answered evenly after a full minute of silence.

"No!" Felicity immediately cut him off before he could continue. "I don't know what it is that they're doing here or why they're here… but they aren't dangerous… well… they are dangerous but they didn't want to hurt me. Or at least that one didn't… and if I need to leave I can get back to camp myself. You know I can manage Chiron!"

A sigh left the centaur as he thought of the halfblood… A daughter of Athena she was intelligent and resourceful, but she also had the typical ambition, pride and belief that she could do everything alone. She also possessed the desire to prove herself that was unfortunately common of the Children of Athena… and something that often got them killed. But he had to trust her judgement. Pulling her out now would probably only hurt their chances of figuring out what was going on there.

The centaur prayed to the gods that she would come out alive. Prayed to Athena that she would watch over her daughter, and not put her daughter in any more danger.

"Take care" he said softly, his voice filled with concern.

"Always," Felicity answered, her voice stronger and more confident than she actually felt. Her body trembled slightly as she hung up, hoping that she was right. Hoping that the wolves that she had seen didn't pose a threat to her.

Standing up, the girl in question poured herself a glass of water. Within a few minutes she heard the door opening, and noticed Emily coming in carrying shopping bags. Felicity smiled at her, wondering whether she should ask Emily. Whether Emily would know anything.

The internal debate continued for a couple of minutes, until Emily started working on cooking dinner. Without a word, Felicity stood next to the young woman, starting to help her cook in the way that she had gotten used to over the last week.

"I'm nervous about school," she finally let out, when she was too scared of broaching the subject of the wolves. Emily gave a soft laugh, continuing her work.

"At least you have over a month?" the woman offered, throwing a soft smile to the teenager. "And some of the boys and Kim will also be going to school with you."

"That's true… I've never been too good with schools though," the blonde mused, keeping her eyes on the vegetables that she was cutting for dinner. Judging by the amount of groceries that Emily bought, it meant all of the boys would be over for dinner again.

"There'll be a bonfire next week," Emily suddenly said, before Felicity came up with another topic.

"Huh…" the demigod responded, mentally smacking herself for the stupid reply. "What kind of stuff do you do at bonfires?"

"The elders come, and they tell tribal stories," Emily answered, though unbeknownst to the demigod she was thinking of how they would be telling the teenager about the reality of those tales. "Do you remember any?"

"Not really…" Felicity admitted with a shrug. "I know a lot about Greek mythology though," she offered with a laugh. Emily also laughed along with her, though thinking that it was merely an interest.


A/N:

So there's chapter five, an encounter with wolves, more proof that Felicity isn't a normal human and an upcoming bonfire. This didn't take too long to write, and I'm feeling a bit better about Paul's pov in this chapter than I did in the last one. So I hope you guys liked this chapter! Hopefully there'll be another one up soon!

And as a note about Paul's comment to Jacob, this is set roughly between New Moon and Eclipse. However I've shifted the timeline a bit, so that this is taking place in the summer holiday.

Dally'sTUFF: No worries, I love writing this, and currently it's the only thing I have a muse for! Felicity should be finding out the wolves' secret in the next chapter or two, so you should see her reaction to that soon! I'm also thinking that she will to some extent become aware of the Cullen's, though it'll probably start through Bella.
