Disclaimer: SM owns it, I just play with it.
About a half hour later my cell started ringing.
"Hey Alice", I answered the phone.
"You need to leave and go home right now", she told me.
"I didn't think you could see me right now. What's going on?" I asked making it seem like a big joke but I was worried.
"One of two things; the people that you're with are going to jail unless you leave right now. I saw you talking about it tomorrow, and it's not pretty some people wind up seriously injured," she told me quickly.
"Okay, we'll leave right now. Thanks!"
I hung up my phone and turned back to the group.
"What do you say we get out of here and head back to La Push? Maybe have a bonfire, watch a movie or something. I'm done with this place."
"Who was on the phone?" Paul asked.
"Just my friend Alice, she was reminding me of something I forgot to do today." As I said this Heidi's eyes filled with understanding.
"So you actually live in La Push, I figured you just guessed that was where we were from?" Jared asked.
"Yup, I just moved there yesterday. My sister, brother-in-law and two brothers will be here later this week. I came with Heidi to set things up but she's going back to New York tomorrow," I replied, as we started to walk out of the bar.
"Your sister wouldn't happen to be the new Veterinarian? We really need one around here especially one that's good with wildlife. But I thought her sister was a lot younger and still in school", Quil asked.
"That's my sister; she's really good with house pets but specializes in wildlife. That's one of the reasons that she wanted to move here, with it being so surrounded by forest she figured that would give her ample opportunity to work with all sorts of animals. Her favorite animal and mine too, is wolves," I smiled to myself at the last part and watched as the shifters exchanged looks.
We walked up and stopped beside an older model truck. I assumed it was one of theirs but couldn't figure out how they all fit inside the tiny cab. Yeah it was a five seater, but that's when you're talking regular humans not five enormous shifters.
"If you guys want we can take two in my SUV, it'll probably be a lot more comfortable then all of you cramming in there," Heidi must have realized the same thing. All I could think was Paul please say yes.
"Sure", Paul answered quickly "Why don't Embry and I go with you two, which also makes things seem more believable to anyone watching and nobody has to ride in the truck bed."
"Sounds great, why don't you guys follow us to my house," I told Jared, Jake and Quil.
We walked to the back corner of the parking lot where Heidi had parked her truck. Damn thing was huge and screamed try and rob me I have too much money. But I could see the boys starting to drool.
"This is a beautiful SUV, what exactly is it," Jacob asked.
Heidi was looking at her nails like it was not big deal "Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG in Lazurite Blue Metallic. I just got it last month. What do you boys think?"
"I think it's really nice, and is really going to stand out on the rez," Paul said.
"You think this is bad wait until Mia drives her convertible," Heidi replied.
"I actually will be driving my new truck that is very discreet. My car will only be for special occasions."
"What kind of vehicles do you have?" Paul asked as we started down the highway with Heidi driving.
"I have a Lexus SC 430, which is a little sports coupe, and then I just got a… truck that I thought would be more appropriate for where I'm going to be living."
"Tell us what kind of truck", Heidi snickered. I'm going to hurt that girl when I get a chance later.
"You're going to laugh that it not discreet for La Push but it's a Cadillac Escalade EXT," Embry burst out laughing and I could tell Paul was trying not to laugh as well. I've lived in New York for the last six years; a truck of any kind is more discreet and more serviceable for the area in my mind. "Yes I know it's more than anyone is used in this area outside of maybe Seattle but it has a lot of great features that I wasn't willing to compromise on so I don't care what anyone else thinks".
"It's okay as long as I get to test drive your cars I won't let anyone say anything to you about it." Paul smirked.
"Just a question but how old are you guys?" I decided to ask.
"Umm…" Embry started as he and Paul exchanged a look, "Let's just say we weren't old enough to be in that bar tonight but nobody questions it because we look a lot older".
"Same with us but we have id that says otherwise. So how old are you," Heidi asked.
"We're all 16, Jared and I are almost 17. How old are you?" Paul answered.
"Well you might think this is funny and a strange coincidence but I'm starting school with you guys next week. I'm 17 and Heidi is 18. That's why Heidi is only staying another couple of days. She has to go back to school as well." I replied.
"Well I'm kind of happy that you're not a lot older then I am, cuz then it would make it wrong when I did this," Paul whispered in my ear and then started kissing my neck.
"Yup that would defiantly be weird, because then I couldn't do this," I turned towards him in my seat and wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips against his. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip looking for access which I gladly granted.
"HELL NO!!!! DO NOT MESS AROUND IN MY NEW BACK SEAT!!!" Heidi started yelling at us.
"Sorry," was all I could mumble as both Paul and I panted from the kiss. I had kissed many men in my centuries but nothing could have ever prepared me for kissing my singer. There was nothing like it that I could even begin to compare it to. I'm defiantly counting my lucky stars that my singer also imprinted on me; it's defiantly going to make this whole soul mate thing a lot easier. Trying to explain it to a mortal is really hard. I've seen some of my siblings do it and it takes a lot of convincing. Normally they don't believe you and then you have to show them. One of my sisters had even decided against saying anything to her singer and lived out the rest of her life without using her powers. That was the hard part about finding your singer. If your singer was a mortal you lost your immortality so that you could age with your singer. If you are lucky enough to find your singer with an immortal you lived out your existence together. Because of this I have very few siblings left, and am one of the few that still has a parent. I have had many siblings, I'm one of 17 to be exact, which in this day and age may make my mom sound like a slut because only a few have the same father but the women is over 600 years old, you can't go that long without a little something and she's only been with her singer around 100 years.
"So are you going to be a sophomore or a junior?" Paul asked me breaking me out of my thought.
"I'm a junior; Heidi is in her first year of university at NYU. How about you guys?"
"Jared and I are juniors. Embry, Jake and Quil are sophomores."
"I'm hoping that I have some classes with you and Jared so that I at least know someone. That is the worst part about starting a new school. Everyone looks at you like you're a freak no matter how normal you try to appear and then without a doubt I always go ahead and do something to prove it. "
"Trust me no one is going to say anything to you or even look at you funny," Paul tried to reassure me.
"Oh and why is that? This is my 6th school and it's always the same," I replied, more like 60th but who's counting.
"You'll be with us. Most people think of us as a gang, that where all on steroids and are petrified of us. We're not a gang we're just guys that help to protect the rez and make sure everyone that lives there is safe." Paul answered.
"Okay, I hate sterotypes. I'm still glad to know people."
We where about 15 minutes outside of La Push when I decided to ask a question that I had been dreading brining up.
"So what is with Jacob? Is he always so… brooding and pissed at the world?" I asked.
"No," Embry answered, "It's a long story and has to do with a girl. But it's his story to tell and he will have to decide to share it. He used to be a happy-go-lucky kid but got jerked around and is now like this. We're hoping it doesn't last much longer but it doesn't look like he'll be going back to his normal ways anytime soon."
"Alright, maybe once I know him better I'll ask him if he trusts me." I really hope that I can help him because if I'm not mistaken on my calculations I'm his step great Aunt (if that makes much sense).
Heidi made the turn off La Push Road (the main road that leads into La Push) onto my driveway.
"I thought we were heading into La Push?" Paul asked.
"I live just outside. My brother-in-law bought the land and we had a house built to accommodate the size of my family."
"But this is Quileute land. You have to be of Quileute blood to be able to buy land around here."
"I know that's why Phil bought the land and not anyone else. He is a Quileute descendent so they allowed him build here. We decided in somewhere so far off the highway because it was more private and a lot quieter than being right in the middle of town."
"I thought for a minute there you girls where taking us into the woods to have your way with us," Embry said with a smirk.
Heidi starting giggling saying, "Yeah, because two teenage girls are so going to be able take on five giants without a problem."
We made the last turn on my driveway and pulled up in front of my house. Paul and Embry sat there stunned.
"This is your house?" Paul asked, "Is it family money or your brother-in-laws that built this house?"
"My families, why?" I was really confused by the question.
Paul quickly got out of the truck and was starting to shake.
Thanks for reading.
