Chapter Five:

Say it with a Muffin.

As the sun dissapeared down behind the horizon and the curtains of the night fell over the small town of La Push you shivered of the cool chills of evening air against your skin. Crickets ermitted in their music and a lonely owl sang its wakening song. Soon it would be time to hunt. Your lids felt a little heavy, already tired from a long day and you stiffled a soundless yawn. You pulled your legs up against your chest as you scooted your jacket tighter around you. You sat on the porch to the little house seclurely hidden in the trees. Your eyes were swollen of crying and your nose was running. How feminine. That was why you sat out here, alone by yourself. You would hate it if he saw you like that, yet you couldn't help it. It felt so wrong. You looked to the sky and tugged a few strains of hair behind your ear. There was no moon tonight, it was all just completely black. Just like the hole in your chest. Silently you wished the moon were there, that it would come out from its hiding and shine on you with the rays of hope. Your jumped a bit when the front door went up and the dim fake lights from inside creeped out and hit your eyes so you had to squint them. A soothing voice reached your ears and you fell a soft hand on you cheek before you were pulled into a light embrace. The womans hair tickled your skin and you smiled subconsiously. Emily Young was such a kind being. You felt yourself lean in closer into her arms and she continued to coo softly in your ear. Much like a mother who tried to sooth her child that just fell and got hurt, or just cried because it knew no other way to communicate. You were a little happy that Seth had left to join Leah in the hospital, to see his mother. Though you cursed yourself for wishing he was here, as little as you wanted him to see you being weak, you still needed him. His comfort. Emily whispered something in your ear and you only barely recognized the words, but with a nod you complied and let her help you up. It took some effort, your legs felt heavy like lead, but you were finally standing - if not a little wobbly - on your feet with Emilys support and she draped your arm over her shoulder. Slowly you walked with her inside and she placed you down on the couch before she told you she would get the tea. First now you noticed how cold you actually were. Freezing cold. Shuddering as you tried to remove the thin jacket you trew it aside and grapped the blanket beside you with shaking hands. Emily returned with a small tray with two cups and a middle sized teapot, some sugar and a little cup with milk. She sat it down on the wooden table before she helped covering you in the blanket, wrapping it tight and kissed you hair. You had only been here for about Nine hours, but she was already treating you like family. You smiled weak in thanks as you took the small cup she offered you, it was hot between your palms. You sat like that in silence for a while, your body tempature going back to normal and you inhaled deep. The tea was a little bitter, but strong and good. It wasn't coffee, but as much as you had always disliked tea, you actually liked Emilys bitter black tea more than your usual cafe-laté. Sighing in content you smiled to the taller woman who sat her own cup down, easily detecting your mood had improved. You were happy she hadn't asked what was wrong, you didn't like it when people pryed in your personal emotions. You just had a little depression, that was all. It was no ones fault, you were just feeling a little stressed and overwhelmed.

After all it had been a little over two years since you last sat your foot in La Push. You hadn't even told your parents yet, though you were kinda sure they wouldn't dissaprove, they had tried to get you to go back - at least for a visit - so many times. You still had a little family here. An aunt, her children, her husband and two uncles. Twin brothers, only the oldest by five minuts where married and had a son. A son around your age actually, maybe more Seths age. It didn't matter, you never socialized much with them anyways, so it was best if no one told them you were here. Actually you weren't even sure they would know who you were. It didn't matter. You felt out of place and only happy that Emily at least was so nice. And Sam Uley. He was the one who had picked you and Seth up by a local Café and took you straight to the house of him and his fiancé. It was the first time you saw them both in a very long time. Only having met Emily once - before the accident - it was a shock to see the scars maring her face, though you had already known about it. The impact of seeing was just stronger than you had expected. Still it never changed her unbelievable beauty, you were almost sure Sam had seen it too, in your eyes as you looked at her. You had been happy Leah hadn't been around. You had always believed Leah to be the most beautiful girl of all you knew, but after seeing Emily. Yes she was scarred, but it wasn't the beauty of her face, it was the shine in her eyes, her soul. It was so unbelieveable and you had noticed how grateful Sam had looked at you, his eyes kind as he nodded in appreciation. Seth had been more or less just as oblivious as always and Emily confused, but you had felt the blush creep up and just crooked a smile at him. Almost immediately after, Seth had announced he would leave. The hospital of Cullen was in Forks and he was honest when he said he wasn't sure when he would return. Their own house was empty now and he had been grateful when Sam offered that you could stay by them for the night. Emily had given you a small hug as her shinning smile almost blinded you. It made you feel good, they were nice people.

"Would you like a bite to eat?" You hadn't realized when Emily had gotten up and she was now standing behing the kitchen island, holding a bigger tray with various cake types. Muffins, shortcakes, cupcakes and even a few cookies. Chocolate tip cookies; Your favorite. You smiled and nodded as she came over and sat the tray down on the little space left on the small wooden table. Almost as if she already knew what you wanted she handed you a cookie with the chocolate bits and you eagerly bit into it. Delicious. Emilys cooking was amazing, but then again you figured seeing as it was almost all she did, besides other housework. She was an imprintee after all. Sighing you placed the half eaten cookie down on the table and tugged the blanket tighter around yourself. Emily noticed your sudden change, but was kind enough not to bugde in with wierd questions, probaly figuring she couldn't help you anyways. No. You were beyond help. You suddenly lost all appetite and felt like crying again. God, what wouldn't you do to be back in your appartment. When you told Seth you wanted to come you hadn't used your brain, that was for sure, but with a mental kick you shook your head and forced all the despair out of the backdoor. Hell no you wouldn't let this get to you. You were 19; A big girl. Your all time best friend was in love with you and you loved him. That was why you were here. His mother was sick and he needed your support. Leah needed your support; Better late than never right?

After forcing down a few cookies you told Emily thanks and exused yourself for the night. Emily had showed you the guest room you would be using earlier, with a small bathroom attached, no tub there but there was enough space to take a shower. You could really need that now, a shower and then off to bed. Trottling down the hall you found the door and was just about to open it to get inside when a warm hand found your shoulder. Startled as you were you spun around, happy that you didn't gasp aloud before you found yourself looking at Sam.

"You going to bed?" His voice was ruff, but kind and when you nodded your head he gave you a small smile before nodding himself as he turned around and walked down the hall. "Sleep well." He was hard to understand to times, but he wasn't completely anti social; He had just had a tough life, figures. Though you silently debated where the heck he had come from, you knew you and Emily had been the only ones here just moments ago. Sighing you heaved the door open and closed it, clicking the lock behind you before you trotted over to the comfortable bed and sat down on the covers. You tossed off your slippers and yanked the top over your head after you had tossed the jacket aside. Standing only to push down your jeans and kick them off you reached out for your back pack and found your beloved white cotton pajama. You put it on and jumped under the covers. Today you wouldn't bother with brushing you teeth, you were far too tired. For a while all you could think about was Seth. Just like you had decided only moments ago you would stop your stupid self pity and focus on why exactly you were here. You would be there for him; For both of them and as soon as they would allow it you would go with a visit Sue. You had always loved Sue and you hated the fact it was under these kind of circumstances you would see her again. You groaned as you hid your head under the comforter and closed your eyes tightly shut. If you kept blaming yourself this you would never get out of that depression. Seth would be able to detect it immediately and you'd have to fake your mood around him all the time. Damn, no future in that. Being so low on confidence sucked. With a sigh you turned and rolled over, eyes still shut and you yawned. Short after you were embraced by the thick velvet of slumber.

Tomorrow you would be strong.


Embry POV.

"Are you kidding me?" As usual Jareds voice was a little too high pitched and Embry found himself pressing his right palm against his ear. Several boys rolled their eyes as they watched - with half interest - as Kim got up with a humpf and spun around on her heel, sparing her bewildered boyfriend a single glance as she pursed her lips. "I am not. When you grow up you can come and apologize, before then I don't want to see you. Period." With a huff she barged out of the door and stalked down the roadway. Jared was standing exactly where she had left him, his eyes were wide and his mouth slightly agape. Paul who snickered earned a non-desurved kick before Jared trew his arms up and roared. "What the hell was that?" As if he had sensed it, Sam walked in trough the door and seized the boys up before he turned his gaze to Jared and told him to calm down, Paul was on the floor, still shaking with laughter, despite this situation was anything but fun. Embry was leaning his head on the table; Extremely bored and Quil was sprawled against the cotton cut couch, taking up all the space and more; Just as bored. This. Sucked. And bad. Just because Jacob had decided he would spend a few days at the Cullens to be with his precious Renesmee, they were now back under the comando of Sam. Just for a short while and at least it was better than putting up with Leah. Seths and Leahs mom had picked the perfect time to get ill, despite how unkind the thought all the boys felt glad to get a break from her. Lately she had just been worser than worse. Expecially after she learned she would probaly never be able to imprint.

Collin and Brady had been ordered to do the perimeter for a while, they were already big enough to take more duty which both boys seemed to appreciate greatly. Not even two months ago Brady imprinted on a cute local girl from Forks just a year younger than him and last week it was Collins turn. Apparantly his cousin had brought her best friend over for a family dinner at Collins parents place and bam. Now his cousin was pissed that her best friend was spending more time with Collin than her, well; Call it life or call it love. So now it was just him and Seth, Embry mused silently inside his head. Actually wishing he would be spared. Period. Like the last word of Kim just now. Paul snickered again and this time Embry joined him, Quil was looking lazy as his eyes gazed from Jareds glare to the two laughing boys, smiling a little. Sam broke the silence when he took a seat and started the procedure. Collin and Brady would return in a few hours, and he needed two to take the rounds at noon. All eyes immediately fell on Jared who first blinked for a while before he spat as he bolted from his chair. "Abso-fucking-lutely not! Kim just bailed me and I have no fucking idea why; So I am notdoing anything before it's settled! Besides, I already told you yesterday; Not tonight." Embry rolled his eyes and rested his chin in his hand. Today was Lovers Day. [1] The fucking 20th of June. And just like every year it absolutely sucked. Why? Well he was single. And taking it, almost allof his friends had found their true "love" and he had not, he had to listen to all that crap. Not fun. And whoever he would run the perimeter with he would have to see the plans of their special night with their special someone. Ugh, someone please safe him. So the best would be to keep it low and not drag any attention so he could avoid being picked as a volunteer-by-no-choice. But no. He just couldn't help himself.

"You're so dumb, Kim got mad at you becau-" Jared cut him off with a well placed kick to the chair and a hard glare. As Embry hit the floor both Paul and Quil broke out in laughter and Sam heaved a sigh as he rubbed the brigde of his nose. "Don't! I didn't ask for your opinion you wise-crack! If you want to help me you do the perimeter tonight. Not like you have a girl waiting for you like we do." Ouch. That one could have hurt. And at some point it did, but Embry usually didn't let Jareds ridiculous insults get to him. Slamming the chair hard against Jareds leg as he got up and hauled it to its place he mentally smirked when Jared whined before he flinched and stumbled down in an empty chair. "True. And I am also man enough to know my true responsibilities. The pack before everything." He earned a few hisses but Sam looked more or less pleased and Embry chuckled low before he continued as he looked over at his best friend - out of this bunch at least - and smiled broadly at him. "You agree right Quil? Whadda ya say? Shall we show them and get it done with?" Quil shrugged but was still smiling as he sat up straight, his feet dangling out over the armchair. "Sure we can, Em." He knew he could count on Quil. This Lovers cwap wasn't very appealing to him either, since Claire was barely 5 years old and he held no romantic feelings towards her. Yet. In 10 years Embry knew he would be on his own.

As everyone now agreed there was no reason to stay amongst each other more that neccessary. Besides it was getting rather crowded in the small kitchen of the Blacks. At least Billy was out, visiting Sue at the Hospital together with Chief Charlie Swan. Everyone knew the Chief had a thing for Sue. Usually they would hold their meetings in Sam and Emilys house, but Emily had chased them out because of her spring cleaning; or well chased and chased. Sam had told them before they even arrived that the meeting place was changed. But it was fine really, only Rachel and Kim had been there as they were nice enough to cook for them. But Rachel had left to do some last minut shopping and it had been Jareds fault Kim left, though he was still oblivious just what he had done to anger her. Forgetting her birthday, maybe that's why. Yes, today was also the birthday of Kimberly Connweller[2]. And she was turning 20, if that wasn't a reason to celebrate. At least it was better than the - snort - other thing;Lovers Day. So now he was walking along Quil down the dirt path towards the woods. There was still approximately 2 and half a hour left before they had to take over the duty of running the perimeter. Parting with Quil who would use the time to pick up Claire as she would arrive tonight; another reason why Emily was cleaning today, when she could have waited; really. They agreed to meet up at Emilys place later as that was where Claire would be spending her weekend.

But back to the matter at hand. For Embry this was one of the worst days ever.

So, why the 20th of June and whatever happened to all famous Valentines day? Pfft, well everyone knew Valentines day was invented by the chocolate makers to profit more from the sales. Lovers day was something completely different and part of their legends. This particular date was know for when their great ancestor Taha Aki found and married his soul mate. In right words this was the day of the imprints. Family and friends would gather and celebrate it, and later they would partake in different rituals. Gee. So. How come that past all these fucking years from over 100 years ago that the Quileutes could remember the date of the lovers and not the freaking name of the Third Wife? Well, that was beyond him. Somehow he got the feeling this was just a fraud, exactly like the stupid Valentines day. Man it sucked to be Quileute (Even as he was just half, by blood that is), two holidays a year to celebrate the loss of braincells as the sick men would woo and drool after stupid girls with too short skirts and their noses in the sky; Noot good enough, Next! Just like that stupid fairytale by that Danish author H. C. Andersen. Snorting Embry strolled down the pathway to her house, his hands securely hidden inside his pockets. He kicked a few rocks as he stared ahead on particulary nothing interesting. This day was already bad enough as it was, but he figured it couldn't get any worse. As the scent of Emilys freshly baked muffins as well as the scent of cleaning products, lemon and sea breeze, hit his nose he subconsiously sped up and already now he could see the front porch of the house. No Quil, but then again he was here early.


Normal POV.

You had gotten up early this morning, wether is was because of the pain that filled your head and back or the fact this place was unfamiliar as well as the bed, you had no idea. But you had brushed your teeths twice just to get out the bad taste of your morning breath. You really hated that. Breakfast had been quiet as you sat and watched Emily saunter around. You had asked her absent mindely where Sam was just as he entered the room from upstairs and you got your answer. You washed your plate off and rinsed it before placing it back in the cupboard just as Sam told he would leave for the pack meeting at the Blacks house. You looked away when he kissed Emily and she giggled. Their love was cute and everything, but the nauseating sick feeling of your last night depression was stuck in the pits of your stomach. So much for being strong. You heaved a sigh as you stretched and plastered a smile on your face as you turned to face Emily.

"Got any work for me?" Could as well help out. You hadn't heard from Seth yet, but silently hoped he would come and get you soon, maybe his absence was the whole reason for your stupid weak moments. After all it hadn't started before after he left your side. Damn, how more pathetic could you get? He was your boyfriend, not your life line, though to times it felt just like that. You would drown if he let you go. Emily smiled as she met your gaze and tapped her long finger against her chin, pondering with a wise-like smug look. At least someone had a nice day. "For a matter of fact I think I do. Would you mind getting the laundry? I need to wash it all and change it. Just bring it outsite for me okay?" You nodded and headed off to the first room, another guest room. You knew you'd be having guests tonight. Being half Quileute yourself you knew everything about this day, though for you it was just like any other day. it hadn't held any special meaning to you ever since you left La Push. It was a tribe thing, and without the tribe it was nothing. But this time you had Seth, and you actually felt the anticipation of the thought about spending this day with him. You quickly gathered all the sheets and covers and brought them outsite just as Emily had ordered, sauntering back inside you grapped a broom and began to sweep the floors. Emily was humming and smiled to you as she passed you with more laundry. The most of the morning went liek this. You cleaned the place trouhoughly and afterwards Emily helped you with baking your first load of muffins ever. You had to admit it, it was rather fun. Nay, that was an understatement; It was incredibly fun. You hadn't baked anything since you were 7 and that was in schools home class.

"That's right Miki, just bring the tray to the table. If I know the boys right they will be here in less a hour." With the boys she referred to the rest of the pack. It was like some sort of ritual of theirs to gather here and eat her stock of bakeries. So you would get to meet them at last. Again. You remembered a few of them already from school. You had had your toll with Jared once. When smaller he had found it unbelieveable fun to pick at you and steal your stuff and Paul. Well, you knew Paul just all too well and doubted he was less an ass now than he was last time you saw him. Even though Emily had assured you that after he imprinted; And on Rachel Black non the less, he had actually geared down quite a deal. And Jared had imprinted too. You found it too hilarious, because it was Kim. You had always liked Kim. She was sweet and knew a thing or two about fashion that was for sure, since she had always done everything in her might to get said jerk to notice her, and after his phasing it hadn't been a problem. You was happy for her, after an eight year crush; Well she desurved it, a nice price for all her struggles. A few of the names was unfamiliar to you though, boys you had never really aqquited much with. Like Collin and Brady. You knew Jacob Black and his cousin Quil Ateara of course. And Embry Call since you never saw those three without each other. It was rare. They just hadn't been anyone you ever hung out with. After helping Emily with stocking a few replies away and taking the last tray of muffins out of the oven you got company. You almost laughed as a pair of strong - warm - arms scooped you up and you recieved a hot kiss on your temble.

"Seth." You scoffed and pushed him a bit before you wrapped your arms around his neck and he grinned at you. "Missed me babe?" You stuck your tounge out at him as you shook your head. "Not the least!" Of course you had, but Seth rolled his eyes and is trademark smirk lit up his face. "Right." And then he kissed you, soft, short and chaste. You feelt yourself swoon a bit as he placed you back on the ground, Emily was watching you with a brow raised, her expression very adult and knowing and you blushed when you caught her gaze. She laughed along with Seth before she greeted him and asked how Sue was. At that you broke out in realization and your eyes widened. "Yes! How's Sue? And Leah? Didn't she come? Did she stay? How are they?" Seth had filled his mouth with a muffin and nearly choked in it before he swallowed hard and stared at you. "Easy now with the questions, Miki!" You closed your mouth with a snap and sat down on a chair across from him. Emily was washing a few tools off after the backing, but you knew she was listening. "Mom's doing better." He smiled as he said that and almost laughed when you sighed in relief. "Leah decided to stay with her, though Mom is trying to get her to leave. She says, and I quote; With you aorund I feel like the daughter." You smiled and laughed a bit, Emily joining you. That was so Sue and you could almost imagine Leahs expression. He was also looking much more reliefed himself and suddenly you felt just right. The previous depressing feelings all but vanished and left a nice warm feeling in your chest. It's like all you had needed was to see his smile again. How could you love a man so much? It was amazing.

"Em! These Muffins don't taste like yours, tried a new reciept?" He was leaning over the back of his chair as he looked to Emily who was drying her hands in a hand-towel. She smiled wisely and enchanged a small glance with you before she returned her gaze to Seth. "You don't like them?" At that your boyfriend snorted and grapped another one, already stuffing his mouth as he spoke non-chalantly. "Are you kidding me? T'is the best you ever made!" Your face heated up as you blushed ten shades of red and Emilys laughter bellowed trough the small room. Seth rose a brow as he looked between her and you, obviously not understanding the joke at all. "I am glad to hear that, because I didn't make them. I only assisted." With that she gestured to you before she placed the towel away and came to join you at the table, taking a muffin herself. You remembered when she had offered you to make them, mostly because she was too busy and she wouldn't bother you with mindless cleaning, she was very perfectionately about whenever she cleaned. it had to be spotless and then spotless again. You had tried to follow her reciepe very closely, but it glitched a few times, the first tray had been completely useless and Emily had laughed as she trew them out, but you hadn't given up and in the end it paid off. Seths face was blank and it was good he had already swallowed the mouthful or it would probaly be falling out of his open mouth. He blinked a couple of times as he stared at her, before his eyes then fell on you and you quickly averted your gaze, your face still burning hot and you cursed yourself that you couldn't help smiling.

"No way . . . Miki made these? Seriously?" Emily rose a brow at him as she munched at the golden brown chocolate bitted muffin. "Is it so hard to believe? She was actually very determined about it. Her first round was bad - make that very bad -." She stiffled a laugh and Seths expression began to return to one you remembered more. "But in the end it gave off amazing results, as you said yourself they're better than mine." He gave out a non-intelligent "Huuuh." Before he broke into a wide grin and shook his head. "Wow. I knew she could cook, but bake? That's a first isn't it Miki?" He wagged his brows at you and you restrained the urge to trow the entire tray at him, it was your hard work after all. Instead you scowled and stuck your tounge out again. Blushing when he bolted out of his chair and grapped your arm hauling you up before his face came dangerously close to yours and for a moment you thought he would kiss you, but he spoke instead; His lips almost touching yours. "Be careful with that tounge or I might just bite it off." His tone wasn't the least treathening, more like playful and lust filled and it gave you the chills. As Emily cleared her troath you blushed even darker - if possible - and yanked your arm out of his grip before you cursed his laughter and sauntered over to the front door. It was very warm today and the sun was out for a change. The ever rainy weather was something you had not been missing, but today was remarkably nice and you wouldn't need your jacket. You felt both pair of eyes at you and you turned just enough to face them. Both were question marks as to why you were heading for the door, and Seth actually looked a bit hurt. You hurried to smile as you shook your head. "The laundry, remember? It must be dry now." Emilys face lit in realization and she rose from her chair with a smile. "Oh yeah, I forgot all about it." The never forgetting Emily had actually forgotten such an important thing; And she had been the one telling you it would be dry around when you had finished baking. Seth seemed less bothered now and plummeted back down in his chair, grapping yet anouther muffin, before Emily smacked his hand as she passed him. "Safe some for your brothers, you know that." He shrugged with a smirk and ate it in one bite. Rolling your eyes you left trough the door right after Emily.

The hour passed fast and you found yourself behind the house, pressed neatly up against said house with a very hungry wolf between your legs as he violated your mouth with his own. His hands rubbing your tighs and he pressed against you rather roughly, rolling his hips making you moan dark like so many times before. You felt his smirk against your lips and you yanked him down towards your chest by his hair. Seth catched on easily as he latched himself to one of you breasts he had uncovered before. He had been so close to just rip your shirt and bra off, but you had managed to safe your garment as you did not wish to sneak past Emily with the possibility of fail and she would see you topless or in shreds. No way in hell that would happen. He hadn't looked happy, but when it came to what you wanted there wasn't much he could do. Greedily he sucked at your exposed flesh as you moaned and shuddered in his arms. You grasp on his hair became looser and you settled to run your fingers trough the short locks instead. So unbelievable soft. Humming softly as he licked your skin in between your cleavage and down your belly as he stuck his tounge down into your naval and you growled a bit. As good as it felt you was starting to feel impatient. You weren't a sex-addict or the like, but with Seth you were almost afraid that's what you would become. His low chuckle reached your ears - he was having fun - and he yanked your tigh-cut shorts down along with your panties. As to why you ended up in this situation with him was a longer story.

You had helped Emily with the laundry as the phone call came. It was Emilys sister calling that she would arrive with Claire a little laster than planned and she wasn't able to stay for long, so she would just leave after they hit the station. Claire was already determined to sleep over the entire weekend and first here it would be no problem to take care of her. Having Quil as permanent baby sitter - one who actually enjoyed every single moment of it - was a really good thing. That particular subject had you spit out your soda. Seth had explained it to you a while ago, but as simple minded as you were, you had forgotten it of course, so being reminded of it had you taken more aback this time than the first time. You had to remind yourself he wasn't feeling romantic feelings for her, so it wasn't pedophelia. It hadn't been the best part in Emilys plans though, since she had planned to pick up Claire in time to be back before Sam returned with the boys. It was a little past 12PM and they would be here at 12:45 to 1:00PM. The bon-fire and party at the beach wouldn't be before 8:00PM, but it had almost become tradition to meet up here and eat before they all would head down to the beach early and help with the preparations. Emily always had the help from Rachel, Kim and Sue, and even Leah, for the food. But Sue wasn't well enough and no one could force Leah to leave her side. There was other mothers too, but everyone came with their own food and in the end all would share it. So already last night Emily had started to prepare for it, and now everything just became that much more stressful. As nice as you was you had volunteered to do the cooking while she was away, she only needed roughly 15mins each way to Forks to pick up Claire, though Emily had said that Quil could do it by himself did it come to it. It was also stupid that two persons went to pick up a single girl, yet she had hoped to see her sister. It had been a little while since last. In the end you had both agreed Emily would start cooking down and you would finish up the laundry, then you would take over and she could get to go see her sister. She had needed some convincing, but at last she just smiled and thanked you.

So now here you was, in the back of the house, supposed to be gathering the rest of the laundry, but because Seth was slick he had noticed some of the linneds where still wet, so you would have to wait a little longer. Just then he had taken the chance to find the weak spot in your defence and in matter of seconds he had you against the wall, moaning for him. Complete pudding in his hands. As your shorts and panties kissed your ankles, you kicked the fabric off with one foot and immediately after he had your legs spread open and wide for him. The bottons on his jeans were opened in no time as he pulld the zipper, but then left his pants open like that as he fell to his knees. Your head started to spin when you saw him like that. It wasn't new for you, Seth had pleased you like this more than one time, but just thinking of how amazing it always felt you just became wetter. His chuckle became a little annoying as he gripped your hips, tugging himself in between and you was just about to snap at him to get on with it when you all but trashed as his wet tounge found your slick folds and he gave you a hot lick. A sharp breath of air was greedily swallowed as you bit your lip to withhold any cries of pleasure. Would be all too embarrassing if Emily heard you, or worse; Came to look what the noise where. Those thoughts were all gone by the point where his tounge was trusting deep inside you, as deep as it could go. You held his head with both your hands as you grith your teeths, cursing low of the urge to scream. You were so close. Seth grunted when he tasted the first drops of your release and just there he broke the contact with your body. You could have killed him. The noise of his pants sliding down went unnoticed as you felt fury fill you, he couldn't stop now! Not when you had been so close, but the emotions of anger was albeit forgotten as your body shuddered violently when he filled you up to the hilth. Everytime Seth penetrated you it had a certain impact on you and you couldn't help the cries anymore. He wasn't holding back as he found a pace, quick, hard and deep, grunting into your neck as he held your hips in a tight grip. This would be over within seconds from now, but neither of you cared. You were both so close to sweet release that nothing else mattered anymore. That was how sex was supposed to be, so overly consuming that you could forget the world and everything else around you. Time stopped, you ceased in existing. The only noises apparant was the sound of flesh hitting flesh as he surged into you deeper. He knew the exact moment when he hit your sweet spot, because you screamed his name over and over. At this point even he became worried about being discovered. Muffling your screams of pleasure with a kiss he grunted as he kept going, harder and harder, repeatedly into that soft spot of yours. Your eyes rolled back into your head as the sheer power of your orgasm rocked you body in quakes. You gasped for air as the sweet release washed trough you and you barely heard his groans and growls as he buckled into you a last time before he stilled and his release filled you. Slowly the world returned and time started again. Other sounds became clearer, the soft rustle of the wind in the leafs, the splashes of the small river running behind their house, Seths panting and your own.

Laughter and footsteps alerted you and you were impressed of how fast Seth managed to rip your remaining clothes off before he dumped you down by the river, grapping a washing cloth as started to scrub your body along with his. Confusement filled you, but soon enough you remembered what they was. Men and wolves. Seth had told you about their high senses, as smelling, seeing and hearing. It wasn't that he cared shit bout what they would say if they smelled the sex on you, better they knew you were his sooner than later, but he did it for you. You weren't an imprint and he would hate if you became known as his tempoary toy rather than what you were; His girlfriend. When he was satisfied he dried you off with one of the towels from the laundry and brought your clothes. As he pulled his own pants up and grapped his shirt you were combing your hand trough your messed up hair, still looking a little flushed and he couldn't help but smile with superity. He gleed in the fact he was the only one who had ever made you feel that way, at least this powerful, and could he help it he would stay the only one forever. Happy that the linneds where dry enough to take down you gathered the rest of the laundry and headed inside trough the backdoor ahead of him, taking the stairs up to drop off the garments in their rightful rooms. Finding your way in Emily and Sams house wasn't as hard as it had first seemed, already now you knew where most of things belonged and given some more time you would be able to find your way in the dark as well. Seth had told you he would take the front door and see you inside, with a soft kiss you had parted. So now after stashing the last laundries in the closets you went to your room to change. Deciding quickly to take a bath; Just to be sure, you dropped your clothes in the dirt-bag (for laundry) and headed out in the small cabinet and turned on the water. Feeling the hot water on your skin and in your hair, your face you sighed with content. It had been a quickie, but your little fun with Seth just then had completely removed the rest of your nerves. Now you would just have to finish up and get dressed before you would finally meet the rest of the pack, or well some of them. Even trough the loud noise of the running water could you hear their voices, their laughter and picking Seths out of them all was so easy it made you chest swell with pleasant warmth.

True love.


Seth POV.

He was so pleased with himself, now why shouldn't he be? Of all the time he had been alive he had never felt more lucky ever. Not even when he found out about the wolf genes, that had been awesome, but this was so much more. For the first time in his entire life was his confidence endless and his spirit high. He couldn't wait til the moment you would be coming down the stairs and he would introduce you. You were by far the most beautiful, stunning female he had ever met. Okay sure, he hadn't always thought of you that way, but people change and he had always found you special, adoreable even. And now he was so in love that not anything anyone could tell him would be able to change that. He was almost sure that even if he imprinted he just wouldn't stop loving you. It already felt like he had found his soul mate, his true love. It had worried him that he didn't imprint, but now it was all just the same. For as long as you wanted him, which he knew could be forever, he would be there for you. He would love you, make love to you and make sure you never felt any sort of pain. Psycically or emotionally, non of it. He ran a hand trough his hair as he reached the porch and smirked. He could already hear the boys inside, fighting over the Muffins. The Muffins his Miki had made. His Michelle. For a moment he wondered if they would even be able to taste the difference as he heard Pauls outbreak towards Emily, almost the exact same he had asked her just about a hour ago and he silently laughed to himself. So they could. Walking to the door he noticed not all of them were there. Jacob was missing, obviously since he was spending time with Nessie and Collin and Brady hadn't returned. Sam was standing at the counter by Emily, chatting low. Quil was looking restless in his chair and he hadn't touched the bakeries one bit. He was definitely anxious to get going and get Claire. Seth figured Emily had called him to tell they were coming later than expected, poor Quil didn't look the least happy about it. Jared and Paul was fighting over a Muffin, even though the tray was still stuffed with them, enough for everyone, but just as usual they had to be difficult. He looked around an extra time and noticed Embry was missing too, that was wierd since that guy was usually always the first here. Everyone in the pack knew about the state of his mother. Being home with her was never nice and Embry always tried to find exuses to stay out of home, being by Emily and Sam was his most used one. She was the exception; Embrys mom was the only parent who didn't know about her sons phasing. Embry had told countless of times it would probaly kill her if she found out and she was already now in a bad enough shape. They weren't wealthy and they lived in a crappy small hut on the verge of falling apart. There was always ditry no matter how much Embry cleaned, and the smell was so bad it was a wonder she could stand living there, but she almost never left the place. Only to go out and waste money on alcohol in bars. Naturally it was Embrys money. He had two part-time jobs just to be able to fend for her over use and to have food on the table, that's why he mostly used to eat out, with his friends and pack. Or struck down a deer in the woods during the guarding hours. No one minded having him over, but Embry wanted no pity, the first person ever to as much as just thinking how sorry they were for him (and he would know) that person wouldn't even live to regret it. Seth sighed as he rboke in trough the door and immediately all eyes were on his form, well beside Quil who was still sitting there in his suffering, sighing over and over, like a teenage girl in love with someone she couldn't have. Something that looked rather pathetic. Jared was the first to greet him as he waved his hand, smiling with his mouth full of muffin and Paul hit his head so he nearly bit his tounge and spit it out. Despite Pauls roaring laughter, Jared not as much flinched as he got up and grapped another Muffin.

"Dude, who's 'Miki'? Em says she made these and that you brought her? Some secret imprint you havn't told us bout?" He was actually winking as Paul whistled as stuffed his mouth with more bakery. Seth felt a blush creep up, but kept it down as he shrugged his shoulders non-chalantly, but with the same smile never leaving. "Narh, Miki's not my imprint. And actually you already know her. Michelle Ryann?" Seth was surprised when Jareds face went pale and his eyes bulged out, but his attention fell on Paul who nearly choke as he hammered his fist against his chest repeately until he swallowed hard and breathed out. "That girl you crushed on in 4th grade?" His outroar was definitely meant for Jared as he stared at him, his face bewildered and pure horror took over Jareds expression. No one was saying a thing besides those two, everyone just staring, expecially Seth who felt his breath hitch. Jared had a crush on Miki? Even Quil seemed to be watching now as mild confusement ran trough his eyes and unnoticeable he nugded Seth and montioned to the Muffin tray, catching his drift he grapped one and handed it to him.

"Will you shut up? I so NOT had a crush on her! Ever!" The obvious lie wasn't bought by anyone and Paul raised a brow, causing Jared to flush with rage, or maybe it was just embarrassment. His selfcontrol though was not bad and he managed to take a few deep breaths before he sat back down and folded his arms over his chest. "Alright, maybe I had. But that's so over, I got Kim and she's so much more perfect." Seth grunted, almost in sync with when Jared did. So Kim was supposed to be more perfect than Miki? Pah, in his dreams. If Jared never had imprinted, Seth wouldn't doubt he would be running after Miki even today. But as to why and how the 'ell Jared never told Seth bout that, well he would like to know, but then again, he doubted Jared even knew they had been best friends for like 4 years now. Sitting down across Paul and Jared he grapped a Muffin and stuffed it in, to prevent himself from demanding answers. The next one who spoke was Emily and all eyes went from the flushed Jared - seeming pretty glad bout that - to the woman in Sams arms. "I think it's cute Jared, but Michelles actually here as Seths girlfriend." Shoot. Why did she have to say that? He nearly choked, but quickly got his poker face back up as he met the staring gazes now directed at him. Clearing his troath he was about to speak up when the creaking from the stairs caught his full attention, and the others too it seemed. Oh god no, could the timing be more off? He felt akward as he watched her saunter down the stair steps. She wasn't trying, but Miki had an odd graceful way to her walk, like the way she swayed her hips. Looking at her you wouldn't believe how clumsy she actually was. He could smell the shampoo scent in her hair, wild cherry blossoms. That smell albeit suited her perfectly. Her change of clothes were just as casual as the last, a plain white sleeveless shirt and shorts; Dark blue and fitting. Her hair was still damp and his chest swelled with dull happiness. He felt himself smile when her gaze met his and he got up from his chair just as she got down the last step. She was biting her lip in a way he knew she only did when she was nervous and he pulled her against him, before he spun her around to face the others, his arm securely draped over her waist as he inhaled her scent. He got it why Jared'd had a crush on her, he remembered that even as a kid she had been just too cute.

"That's right. Miki's my girlfriend."


Embry POV.

He cursed his mother to hell and back again. He'd been just about being able to see Emilys house when his cell phone went off. The only reason she had let him have one was to call him in emergencies. Ha! And as usual her version of emergencies was as twisted as Santa Claus on a southern island in swim suit with a tequila. She was out of booze and too wasted to get a refill from the store. He was sick of it, but he would rather bring it to her than see her walk down the streets and get lost, or fall and break her neck. Though to times he hoped for just that, he regretted it. Having to wish for his own mothers death, he knew he was all she got and that's why she was like that. She wouldn't tell him who his father was, most for his own sak and he guessed he should be happy about that. It wasn't nice being in the dark, but he was half Quileute, the wolf gene that caused the phasing proved just that. Which then left out a few choices, it was either Billy Black, Harry Clearwater or Sams missing Dad. Neither did he wish for, though having half siblings could be nice given it was his pack members he would still prefer he never knew. He wouldn't ever be able to forgive whoever it was, because that man had neglected not just him, but his mother too. How he could live with it was beyond Embry, but if it was Sams dad it wasn't that surprising. He ran from Sam too. He shook the unpleasant thoughts away and tugged the thin bag filled with the bottles of booze over his shoulder before he exited the small store and went up the road. They weren't living that far from where he was, just over the hill he would be able to spot his house, but the rute was dnagerous enough if his mother walked it, expecially in her condition. Stupid cow. She should know better than leading so pointless a life. He grunted as he reached the porch and sat the bag down before he knocked on the door. He didn't wait for her to get the door, he just needed to get away; And that right now. It wasn't like she cared anyways, as soon as she saw the bag that would be all she would pay attention to. He was but air to her, but he still took care of her, she was his mom after all. He practically run back down the hill, afriad to turn around to see her trying to catch him to do some else completely stupid errands, but he knew he was being silly. Back at the forest path to Emilys he quieted down to a slow walking as he sighed. His life was really complicated, though he always did his best to stay positive and only look forward, after all it wasn't because life wasn't worth living. He could find countless of reasons to keep moving on. Jacob and Quil for example, his two best friends. No one but them understood him better than himself. There was always this quiet understanding between them and he still remembered how awful it had been when he had joined Sams pack. Alone. Without Jake or Quil. It had been a little like torture, well okay both Paul and Jared was cool enough when you got to know them, but it just wasn't the same. And Sam was way ahead of them, all mature even though it was only a few years between them. When Jake then had joined his happiness had had no end, and he knew Quil would join soon as well, they all knew. The signs had been hard to avoid seeing. His rising tempature, the growing muscles and the sudden height. The same that had happened to all of them. Embry smiled of the memory and felt in a much lighter mood already. Humming in a low tune he let himself enjoy the greenery of the forest, it was always pleasantly green in summer, thick and it had this special scent. Possible the best scent in the world; The scent of home. That's right, the forest was his home. It was more his home than his actual home, he spend more time in the woods than by his mom, and it would stay that way. If he didn't have the other voices in his head half of the time he wouldn't mind staying in his wolf form forever, who needed to be human if true freedom was just outsite the door?

His smile was broad when he saw Emilys house just ahead, he could come from the backsite, but he knew the door was always open, expecially to him. Hmm, he remembered clearly when Emily had learned about the situation, she hadn't pitied him, but she had cursed his mother with colourful words and exclaimed he was always welcome to stay over. She had even broken a few plates as had smacked her fist into the counter and the clay plates had tilted down. He laughed of the memory and shook his head. As he said, he could find more than one reason to enjoy life, because it was definitely worth living. He stretched his arms above his head as he jumped over the crooked river not thicker than 7 inches and ran the last few steps to the door. He could hear the boys inside, joking, laughing, having a great time. Emilys female laughter was easier to notice than their bellow given her higher tuned voice, but that was not what made him hesitate as he turned the nob. There was another voice, also female, so much more pronouncing than Emilys and oddly pleasant as warm chills ran down his back from just hearing it. But the voice didn't come from the same place as the others, it came from outsite. Embry felt his breath hitch as he opened the door and walked inside. The voice hadn't been that close, from the porch in front or so, but it was better to be safe and get inside. He already didn't like this and he all but almost bit himself when he realized he was trying only to hear that voice. What the hell? He growled low as he passed trough the hall and opened the door into the kitchen, and just right, there they was. Quil at the couch, his face litting up as he sees Embry and he all but bolts from his Seat. Jared and Paul was in a heated discussion, something about girls and - oh, the usual. Imprint stuff, gee. But they stopped as they turned to see him too. Sam gave him a nod and Emily greeted him warmly before she offered him a chair and a Muffin. He could still hear that girls voice, she was definitely here and just as he had thought she was out front on the porch with . . . With Seth? He noticed the tint of the giggling and the low ring to Seths voice, how seductive he sounded as he spoke to the girl and before he could stop it cold anger washed down trough him. Shock filled Embry to the core and he shook his head furiously, growling just to deafen out the sounds from out front. This was insane! He was going insane!

"Yo, dude. Everything's okay?" Embrys gaze locked with Quils as his friend stood right before him, his hand on his shoulder as he had noticed how Embry had started to tremble out of a sudden. He noticed the others stares as well, but shook his head again and just smiled to him. "I'm fine. Just a . . . Little angry at my Mom, made me go get her booze again." His eyes trailed off to the furniture, everything but Quils concerned eyes. He couldn't take it, and most of all he hated to lie to him, though he had to tell himself he wasn't really lying. His mom had made him go get booze and it had annoyed him. They seemed to buy it as Emilys angry hiss came from another room, when she had left he hadn't noticed, but she came back out short after with her summer jacket and car keys. "Ugh, how I hate that woman. Sorry Em." He just shrugged and smiled to her. "It's cool." The funny thing with sharing the same nickname with Emily was when one of the others would use it and they would both go; "Yeah?" before then breaking into laughter at the bewildered person trying to explain which of them he meant. Unless it was Sam, he would just glare at Embry for reacting when he should be more than able to recognize his voice. But it had actually happened once that Sam had used his nickname to call him, it was rare, but it did happen; Even with Emily around. "I'm used to it." He crooked a smile as she muffled his hair, passing him and looked to Quil once she was by the door.

"Just stay here tonight, we got enough room you know." He shrugged, but he knew if Emily really wanted him to stay he had little choice. "Come on Quil, we don't want to be late now do we?" She almost laughed when Quil bolted past her trough the door, sparing Embry a last glance before grinning at him with the piece sign- Gotta love Quil the goof ball. She waved and then she was out herself. The nice scent of her cooking was all over the place and it was mouthwatering, but that wasn't what Embry smelled. As soon as no one talked to him anymore his attention was back on that voice, not just the voice. Her scent too, was all over the place. It was intoxicating and just now he really scented it. Inhaling deep it paralyzed all his senses and he felt light headed. His heart was beating faster when he noticed the girls attention was led off Seth as she chatted a bit with Emily. He couldn't hear the exact words, but he needed no more. He was beyond curious now, if her scent and her voice could draw such strange reactions from him, then how would it be seeing her face? Feel her touch? He shivered and grapped the counter to keep his balance. Jared asked him something, but he was gone. After a few moments of regaining his mentality he locked his gaze with Jared who had corked a brow at him and Embry shot him a 'what?' expression. Shrugging Jared looked at Paul before he looked back to Embry. "You look sick, seriously. Sit down or something." Actually he didn't feel sick. He felt . . . Wonderful. It was odd, but he did. Unbelieveable wonderful, like that scent and that voice just made his life ten times better. He oblied though as he stepped over and took a seat, this time he tried not to focus on the porch as he grapped a Muffin and listened to Paul and Jareds chit chat. Sam had left the kitchen by now, he was somewhere in the back or so, not that he really cared. He had never been close to Sam, other than he had been his Alpha and inside his head half of the time.

"Come on, just tell me already why Kim got mad!" Jared exclaimed as he trew an arm into the air. Paul looked smug as he pursed his lips and downed a can of soda pop. "Jared, gee. What day is it today?" Suddenly it seemed to dim for the poor Jared and he practically cursed off his tounge. Embry sighed mentally as he rolled his eyes and averted his gaze to the table. The stack of Muffins had been bigger he could guess, but it wasn't actually til just now that he noticed the one in his hand. Right, he took it just a moment ago. Damn. Just as he was about to stuff it inside the door went up and the scent he had just been able to ignore hit him with full force. It was so powerful Embry nearly fell down from the chair, but instead he froze. His breath hitched and horror filled him. Neither Paul nor Jared seemed to notice as they broke out in grins, Jared was still looking a little pale, but Paul had told him how he once forgot him and Rachels monthsary and how he had wished he had been dead. It hadn't entirely helped him since Jared believed forgetting a birthday was a little more worse, and not just anyones birthday, but hers! But he supressed the dread he had to face later.

"Yo Miki! Hey, where's Seth?" The girl seemed in a happy mood as she clicked her tounge and he listened to every step she took, until she wasn't but a few steps from where he sat. He silently wished he had never gone here, but at least he was not facing her. "Leah called. Apparantly she needed Seth to do some sort of errand. He wasn't happy-" She laughed a bit, curse that irresistable voice. Embry shuddered. "-but had little to no choice really. He'll be back A.S.A.P. He guaranteed." Stop talking to her, stop talking to her. Was all Embry could think, he was feeling uncomfortably tense and felt his muscles flex, but just as he thought it couldn't get worse the girl cast her attention to him. "Who's that?" Couldn't she had asked something else- like; Where's Sam? Geez. His blood was boiling by now and he considered to jump out and rush out of the door to never return. Just who the fuck was she and why did she make him feel so . . . Awful good. It really was awful. He wanted to tear out Jareds throat when he answered her, he noticed Paul was staring at him by now, but he had no idea what that expression was supposed to be. Most of all the older guy looked confused, curious, surprised and oddly pleased in some sick kind of way. Couldn't he see how much Embry wanted to get out? He could at least go out of his way to help, but no, helping friends was never Pauls thing now was it?

"Ah, that's Embry. Our own little bastard." Normally he wouldn't hesitate to punch Jared for such a statement, but right now all he could think about was how the hell he got out of this situation. He didn't like it at all, nope, not in the least. "Oh! Yes I remember Embry, well kinda." What? Did he know this girl? . . . No, he didn't, he would remember such a voice and such a scent. This was getting ridiculous, completely and utterly ridiculous, dammit all. Clenching his teeth he wasn't able to take it anymore, he felt the pressure weighing his body and it was hard to breath. Her intoxicating smell was deluring him and he felt wobbly in his legs. He ignored Jareds questions, asking him what was wrong as he stepped around the table and headed for the backdoor, but just then someone grapped his wrist and spun him around. Paul that ass! But as he saw her, that white plain sleeveless shirt, her long tanned arms and legs, visibly because of her short dark blue shorts, her mid long dark brown hair falling down over her bare shoulders and her wide burgundy brown eyes, his world just;

Stopped.


Normal POV.

"Then go." Seth had just tugged away the cellphone and looked to you with his pleasantly chocolate brown eyes, a puppish tint to them as he pouted. You felt yourself sink into the pits of hopelessness, you always did when he looked at you that way. It was a dirty trick and 9 out of 10 times you couldn't resist. Ugh, damn, damn, damn. "I mean it Seth!" Your voice wasn't as steady as you had hoped and you watched him heave a pretty heavy sigh. Leah had just called to ask a favor from her brother, that particular favor though consisted in him going back to their house and get both Leah and his Mom a fresh change of clothes, other than that Leah had some small chores to make so he would have to stay at Sues side for a little while. Not that he minded taking care of his Mom, it was just eternal badly timing for him right now. You didn't have to read his mind to know why he wanted to stay, the prior reactions of his friends just moments ago had albeit boosted his ego. Yes, you remembered Jared, a little too well and judging by the males expression he remembered you just as well. It had been just a little akward, expecially when Paul couldn't shut up his mouth about all the times he had to hear Jared whine because you never spared him a second glance, and thus you learned about his secret crush on you all those years ago. You almost pitied him when you all laughed at him, not that you could help it. Though you felt a little stupid that you never noticed, it probaly wouldn't have changed a thing anyways. All this time you had only plegded him for being mean when he'd only tried to get your attention, with old tactics non the less. Just like the old saying; Pull pranks on those you love, he sure did.

"I'll be back as soon as possible, alright?" He almost sounded like he was trying to assure you because you didn't want him to leave and it made you roll your eyes. With a smile you wrapped your arms around his neck and gave him a searing kiss that left the man stumbling out of balance as you let go, it made you giggle and seth looked dazed; A huge grin on his lips. "Of course babe." You winked to him and watched him sigh again, this time of contentment. It wasn't like your seperation now would be eternal and you wouldn't stop loving him just like that. With a squeeze of your hand and a whisper of love he jumped off the porch and ran down the path to his house, leaving you to stand there and watch him dissapear. With a satisfied sigh you spun around and opened the door to walk back inside. You were greeted immediately by a very happy Jared, though he seemed a little pale and Paul looked very smug. Jared asked for Seth and you explained why he had to run off. No one passes down a request from Leah, well rarely. Then you noticed him, the addition to the two boys you remembered leaving. His back was to you and jugding by the muscles he was beyond tense. It made you curious because it looked like he tried to avoid you, at least looking at you, so you asked.

"Ah, that's Embry. Our own little bastard." Jareds answer nearly made you walk over and slap him, he really had a bad mouth to times, but the realization just made your lips form a silent 'oh' and you half smiled. So that was Embry. The last time you saw him he hadn't been as. . . Well, huge and his hair had been shoulder lenght always loose. Now it was chopped short, but looked just as soft as Seths. You were really curious now and you pondered to walk around the table to take a look at him, still wondering why he seemed to be so . . . Uncomfortable. But he beat you to it as he shot out of his chair and went right around the table, he was fast and you heard yourself gasp as you watched him retreath for the backdoor, however he barely got past Paul as the man yanked him with a grip on his arm and spun Embry around. The first you saw was the way his hair fell down in his eyes, it wasn't as long as Seths, but it suited him better than the long hair ever had. As his golden brown eyes locked with yours you felt your breath hitch and cheeks flush. Your hand found a place at your chest and you felt like taking a step back. You had no idea what was going on by this point, but the way he looked at you, the millions of emotions that flew trough his eyes all at once until they settled on the most powerful of all had you wish you could escape, made you wish Paul had let him go. And Paul did let him go, but now Embry wasn't moving. His eyes took in your form and you nearly felt violated by the action alone, yet he wasn't even touching you. When your feet finally obeyed and you stumbled backwards time seemed to stop for a moment as his eyes found yours again, the intense emotion of dread filled him and you gasped when he dissapeared. Before you knew it he was right before you, one arm stretched out against the door to prevent you from leaving. Not that you could do that anyways, you felt completely frozen unable to move even an inch. His gaze was too warm, too intense and you could feel his breath on your skin. Your teeths bit down on the felsh of your lip as you breath slowly returned and just then you watched his eyes wide as horror seemed to fill him. Again before you could react he was stumbling backwards away from you, his breathing ragged and you watched him grap a chair for support. Just for a second your eyes fell on Jared and Paul behind him and watched them exchange a gazze before they both nodded and went to eithe rof Embrys site. Jared looked oddly aware and Paul looked a little solem. They definitely knew what was going on, but your gaze returned to Embry again as he stood up and let go of the chair. Normalty seemed to fill him and his breathing became steadier. You desperately wished that someone would break the thick silence, because it was really getting to you. Just neither of you expected what happened next. With an outstretched hand, Embry held something out for you and you glanced down on the golden brown lump between his fingers. He seemed to hesitate before he finally spoke, breaking the uncomfortable silence and your face fell when his words came out like a desperate sound of missing what this was really about.

". . . Muffin?"
