Chapter 27

Annalise's POV

I let go and look for the source of the sound. My heart almost pounds out of my chest like if it's trying to break out from a prison. My eyes dart to every face in the room looking for my eyes' desire to find. When suddenly I find them. The pair of melted chocolate eyes looking back at me. The wind is knocked out of me. I see him shaking in anger but as our eyes lock together and it feels like we're alone in the room. My heart leaps in my mouth, my stomach churning like if I'm about to be sick. His unruly hair more messy than normal but he still looks beautiful to me. Seeing him is like seeing the sun.

I take a step forward when I'm brought back to reality by someone hissing. "She isn't a piece of property," Jessie looks at him with an angry scowl.

"Back off," Embry growls trying to control himself.

"No," before I know it Embry is in front of Jessie shaking, growling, ready to phase.

"EMBRY!" Jake yells in his Alpha voice and immediately Embry steps back giving Jessie the death glare.

I feel Jessie is about to charge but I gently place my hand over his arm. I stand in front of him; placing myself between them. First I make sure his eyes are looking at me and not Embry. "Jessie, you need to show them that you are not a danger. Please don't compromise it,"

His red-blood searches my eyes for something. "Scarlett-"

"-Her name is not Scarlett!" Embry yells.

"Embry clam down," Seth says.

Jessie closes his eyes, exhales and re-opens them. "What is that dog-" I frown at him. I hear many growls behind me. "-what is he talking about?"

I turn around. "Jake is it ok to take him now?" he seems to be between a rock and a hard place but finally nods.

"Yes, we are done," all I needed to hear for me to drag Jessie out. Before I leave I look at Embry hoping he understands what I'm doing. Then I look at Paul and Quill to back me up. They do, standing in front of Embry.

I run first as Jessie follows me. Him, being faster than me seems to be walking instead of running. "Would you mind?" I ask. He chuckles before flinging me over his back and runs even faster. I tell him were to go and before I know it we're at the cliffs. I get off and sit on the edge taking the view I never thought I'd see.

"So," He begins after a few minutes. I smile remembering the human Jessie who would start conversations like that. "Nice weather,"

I turn around to look at him standing there awkwardly. "Really? The weather?"

In a split second he's sitting next to me. "I don't know what to say. I mean Vampires? I didn't know they were real and now… I'm one,"

"And Wolves are real too," I smirk.

"Yeah, too bad they smell bad," he chuckles.

"No they don't. Embry smells of musk and wood and-I love it." I clear my throat knowing I said too much of Embry. "They don't smell bad to me,"

He stays silent for a while. "So you're a half-vampire? You smell different."

I nod. "Born from a human mother and immortal father," I sigh. "Scratch that off. Form an immortal monster,"

He places his hand over mine. "Not so immortal because he's dead,"

"How'd you know?"

"Axel filled me in when I woke up. Then your Uncles took me hunting. How are they your uncles?"

"They're brothers of my dad and mom," He frowns in disgust. I giggle. "Look, we're all a big adoptive family. None of us are actually related except Nessie and Uncle Edward and Aunt Bella,"

"Uncle… Edward and-"

"Yeah, I'll explain that later," I turn my body just a tad to look at him more. "For now I want to introduce myself. Hi my name is Annalise Sarah Cullen, daughter of Emmett and Rosalie Cullen."

"Annalise?"

"Scarlett was the name…he…" I say in disgust and anger. "…gave me."

"Annalise," I smile as he tries my name a few times.

"You can call me Annie or Anna,"

"So Anna what else do I need to know?"

I grab my chin thinking of what else to say. "Oh, I'm actually seven years old,"

"WHAT?! How is that possible?"

I giggle at his shock expression. "Half-Vampires grow faster. We reach maturity in seven years. So I'm going to stop growing now for all eternity."

"WOW. Did not see that one coming. Anything else?"

I know what he's waiting to hear. "You want to know why the wolf act that way, don't you?" He looks at me for a few seconds before he nods slowly. I sigh. "Umm… it's a little hard to explain myself since I haven't fully understood it myself. His name is Embry and he imprinted on me."

"Imprinted? What the heck does that mean?" I can see he's getting frustrated not understanding any of this.

"I don't know what it means. All I know is that I want to be with Embry all the time since I've been back. Right now that I saw him would be the first time I've seen him close up since my kidnap." I blush a little and look at the ocean discreetly. "I can't stop thinking about him,"

We turn around as we smell a scent. "Imprinting is something strong. When a wolf imprints it's no longer the gravity holding them here but that person they imprinted on. They become whatever we need, a friend, a protector." Nessie plops herself on the other side of Jessie. "As we grow older we start seeing them a different way. We start wanting them a certain way. Imprinting comes from ancient times and it's a way they find their soul mate," She smiles sweetly at him. "My name is Renesmee Carlie Cullen but you can call me Ness or Nessie,"

Jessie's red sad eyes look back at me. "So he imprinted on you?"

"Since I was a month old,"

He frowns. "How old was he?"

"22,"

He scoffs. "So he's a perv?"

I giggle. "Of course not. He didn't see me that way when I was a month old. He saw me as a little sister that needed protection form evil. Now… now it's different,"

"Why doesn't he look old?"

"Like us they don't age. If they keep phasing to their wolf form they freeze there aging but if they like they can stop phasing and resume there aging life," Ness explains.

"Since you know so much about wolfs one of them must've imprinted on you," He smiles.

"The Alpha," She says with pride. I can see a small hue of a blush forming.

"That big guy? I mean they're all big but he's huge," We giggle. "Well," He looks back at me. "I can't compete with an imprint can I?"

I shake my head. "I still want us to be friends."

He wraps an arm around me. "We are friends scar-Anna" I giggle as he corrected himself.

"Good," Nessie stands. "Now that that is out of the way a wolf wants to speak with you," She points her skinny finger at me. "I'll take young Jessie to the main"

"The main?" He stands.

"The main house,"

Nessie throws herself on me. "You scared me back there but I'm so glad you're back."

"Ness-"

"-Look I don't care what happened in the past. You're here now. Let's just stay in the present and enjoy it," I hug her just as strong.

"I agree Nessie," She kisses my cheek before hooking her arm with Jessie's.

"Now tell me if he mistreats you because I will take him down," Jessie warns. I smile as they disappear in the woods.

I sigh and turn around to contemplate the view again. The wind softly blowing around me. The sound of the waves crashing. The birds chirping. The sun setting creating a soft glow to the scenery. "You're more beautiful than any view,"

I turn around fast. Embry ambles towards me with fitted jeans and a black tee. His hands nervously stuffed inside his front pockets. His brown unruly hair glowing with the sun. I bite my lip. His eyes darken as he nears me. My breathing had become completely hallow when he stands centimeters away. He tugs on my chin so I can free my lip form my teeth. "You are definitely more beautiful,"

I lounge myself on him in a hug. Squeezing him hard against me. "I missed you," I whisper as I lay my face on the nape of his neck smelling taking in his scent.

"I missed you too…" I can feel him shaking, holding back emotion. "…So much…" I take a hand full of his shirt at the back trying to feel him closer. And we hold each other for a few minutes.

We begin separating slowly. My heart jumping inside me knowing I will have his face, his lips just a few movements away. When we lock eyes I feel hypnotized. Brown intense flames trapping me like a moth. I seem to fall deeper but I let go because I know he will catch me. My lips have parted trying to fill my body with the proper oxygen. The electricity surrounding us bringing us closer like magnets.

And our lips meet clashing in perfection. My hands grip his hair bringing closer. Our teeth crashing. My body feels like it's in flames as his hands touch my back and up to my hair. Like if my body was starving for this. We let go begging for air. "I'm yours," He frowns and looks confused. "Back in Sam's house you said I was yours, I'm just confirming it,"

He wraps a giant arm around my waist lifting me off the ground. "Yes, mine." He smiles and pecks my lips.

I point my finger narrowing my eyes. "And you're mine," I point back to myself.

He chuckles. "All yours,"

"Glad we got that covered," We laugh. He pecks me one more time before he takes my hand and begins leading me into the forest.

"Were are we going?"

"As much as I want to be here with you for the rest of my life your family must be worried,"

"You're right, I need to see Daddy and Momma," he nods.

We speed walk down the forest. But I have questions. "What happened while I was gone?"

He comes to a halt. "I don't want to ruin this day with horrible memories." He doesn't look at me in the eyes, not once, as he speaks. I grab his hand as a sign to keep walking. "I don't like that Newborn,"

I roll my eyes. "His name is Jessie and you don't have to worry. I told him I belonged to you and we're just friends."

"I'm still keeping an eye on him." I giggle.

We walk hand in hand and the forest just seems more beautiful today. The main house comes to view and suddenly worried. What if Daddy nor Momma like the person I've become. No, they will love me just how I am right? I take a much need oxygen before walking up the steps of the main house. I open the door and I hold on to Embry stronger. He doesn't need to say anything for me to know that he's here if anything. That's one of the things I love about him.

Momma and Daddy are waiting for me. "Baby," She says and it's enough for me to run to her. She catches me in her loving arms hugging me tight. I feel Daddy's arms surround both of us.

"I love you both," I felt like I needed to say it. It just made them hug me tighter.

"We love you too," Momma says.

"Can't-breathe," I giggle as they let me go and they both smile.

I take their hands. "You two are my real parents; no matter what," I smile. They both look like they won the lottery. I turn around to a throat clearing to see Aunt Alice with an apple pie in her hands. "What's this?"

"Well we wanted to celebrate your return. I wanted a helicopter and dancers but all of them-" she points to the whole family. "-Voted against it. So here I am with just a pie, your favorite," she rolls her eyes.

I clap my hands. "Thank you all," I smile as one by one give me a giant hug. Nessie's turn comes around her along Jake walk up to me. I frown when I see Jake carry a box.

"Before you ask what it is just take a look," She smiles widely before joining hands with Jake. I cautiously bend down to open the wooden and heavy looking box. Opening the lid I gasp as tears pool at my eyes. "I couldn't see them without you. I knew you were coming back all I had to do was wait."

I remember that when the first movie came out I got kidnaped by that monster. "We never did go watch that movie,"

"No, but now we can and have a marathon with our favorite wolves," She smiles looking at Jake who only rolls his eyes.

"Hey Jake," Embry calls out. "A chick flick?"

Jake laughs. "The ultimate,"
