Hey! I love this chapter! It's where it starts to get exciting! Yay! Hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 4-
I groaned. 'Alice I really do not need this much make-up to go to a bonfire with my friends. It's no big deal!'
'Quit making a fuss Saz and let me have my fun. You know you'll love the way you look when I'm done and you'll thank me for it so stop complaining.'
I sighed, knowing that there was no point in arguing with my super strong vampire sister, and leant back in the chair to let her finish covering my face in expensive make-up. I didn't complain when she also insisted on straightening the ringlets out of my dark brown hair. I liked my hair straight, but I knew everyone else adored my curls that I'd inherited from my incredibly beautiful mother.
When Alice was done she handed me my new red bikini, a purple top and some denim shorts and instructed me to go change as I had to leave in 10 minutes. I changed quickly into the top and shorts but rather than wearing the bikini underneath as Alice clearly intended, I packed it into my bag to change into later if I felt the urge to go swimming with the Quileute boys and their imprints. I smiled as I thought about my second family; the guys and the girls, my best friends. It had been so long since I'd seen any of them! I found that I was actually buzzing with excitement as I bounded downstairs to meet Bella who would drive me to La Push. I could have driven myself but Bella insisted that she wanted too, and that she wanted to say hi to the pack too. I let her drive me to keep her happy, I didn't like driving much anyway and I knew I'd get there much faster this way.
We pulled up by the beach and I leapt out of the car straight into my best friend's arms.
'Hi Embry! God I've missed you!'
'I've missed you too Saz!' He turned to Bella, 'Hey Bells! How you doing vampire girl?'
Bella laughed and hugged Embry awkwardly, I giggled at them both as they scrunched up their noses.
Once Bella had left, with strict instructions that I was to call her as soon as I was ready to come home, we headed towards the bonfire to greet everyone else. I chatted for a while with everybody, Paul and Rachel, Sam and Emily, Quil and Claire, Jared and Kim, Collin and Sophie, Brady and Phoebe and Billy of course. But I noticed pretty quickly that everyone seemed kind of tense, excited, waiting for something. The bonfire burned on in the centre of our little circle. Everyone was laughing, eating, chatting, but the atmosphere was different to the normal bonfires, and I'd been to enough to know. I stood up, took Embry's hand and led him away from the fire to ask him what was going on.
'What's going on Embry? Everyone's acting all weird. It's like you're all expecting something to happen. Tell me Embry please.'
He laughed. 'You are so perceptive Sari, just like Bella.' I smiled at that. Yes I was just like Bella, I was realising that more and more at the moment. 'Everything is fine Saz, you'll know soon enough. Just be patient, please?'
I scowled at him but nodded and we made our way back to the bonfire, taking our places and falling back into the easy chatter with our friends.
It happened very quickly. All at once all of the wolves snapped their heads up and stared at the forest about 30 feet from us. I stared too, along with the imprintees. None of us humans could see or hear anything yet but we didn't have to wait long.
Through the trees came two people; a boy and a girl. The boy looked a bit younger than Embry and the girl about the same age as Sam. The girl looked incredibly shy as she walked towards us behind the boy who was grinning broadly. Embry was the first to stand up and hug him, then the girl. All the wolves and the imprintees followed suit. I didn't really know what to do. I felt terribly awkward as all my friends smiled and greeted the two strangers.
Embry came over to me and took my hand. He smiled at me as we walked towards the girl.
'Leah, this is Sarella, Renesmee and Jacob's daughter. Sari this is Leah Clearwater, Sue's daughter.' So this was the Leah I'd heard so much about. I knew her story, she had run off soon after the fight with the Volturi about my mum. She was a wolf like the others. She had done what my dad had done when Bella told him she was getting married, she'd run away. She had become a wolf and stayed a wolf. As far as everyone in the pack was concerned Leah wasn't going to come back, at least not any time soon. Her brother, Seth, had run off to find her about a year before I was born to try and persuade her to come back for her mother and Charlie's wedding. But she didn't come back and nor did Seth. He loved his sister and he wouldn't leave her. The pack let him stay with her, all of them assuming that the siblings would never return. Yet here they both were.
I smiled at Leah and she smiled back. Embry called for Seth to come and meet me too, whilst Leah and I talked, a little awkwardly, about my parents. Seth came from behind me and embry hugged him again before he got a chance to say hi. I turned to face him whilst they hugged.
Embry began talking, introducing us I think, but I didn't hear him. All I could think was Seth, all I could see was Seth. Seth.
'Seth? Sari?' Embry and Leah's calling snapped me out of my mind and I turned to them. Both of their eyes were wide with shock. I turned back to Seth and his expression was exactly the same. Sam was beside us then a huge smile on his face, Emily glued to his hip, as always, was smiling too.
I realised that I must have looked very confused because Sam started to explain what was happening, even though I knew already. Of course I knew. Seth and I had imprinted. I looked up at him and smiled. Seth, my Seth, smiled back at me.
