My Mystery Girl

Paul's POV

Who was that girl? Where did she come from? When will I see her again? These were some of the questions that filled my mind as I headed to the front door of the school. After she left, I could not stop thinking about her, she was the only thing I cared about. I searched all through the school, after she left, looking for some kind of recognition of she was. I even got so desperate that I begged the font office for her address. Of course they said no.

So this must be what it felt like to imprint I concluded as I walked down the hall searching for my mysterious new love interest. Though I mocked the whole concept of imprinting, I now know that it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I remember when I told everybody at Sam's and Emily's house that I had imprinted. Emily rushed over to hug me and immediately started invading me with questions about my imprint.

"What's her name? How old is she? Does she like you? How does she look? Is she pretty? Of course she's pretty, why wouldn't she be pretty, you imprinted on her of course?" Was all I could make out of her never ending long list of questions.

"Uhhhh…I just accidentally ran over her and then she kind of ran away," I said lamely.

"Oh…. That's okay it will all work out in the end," Emily said clearly disappointed. Emily was a girl and by nature she was always trying to solve everyone's girl problems, especially when it has to do with the pack. In fact she was the one that gave Jared the idea of asking Kim on a date after he tried (and failed) to get her alone the first time they met. Now they are the second happiest couple I know. (Sam and Emily are the first happiest)

"What, wait a minute…..? Did Paul just imprint? On an actual girl," Jared said as he walked into the room. The way he said it made him seem like he was surprised. Why would he be shocked? Other than that incident at the party, which I had refused to even acknowledge, I had been as straight as ever.

"Yea, is that okay with you?" I said not letting my temper get the best of me. I silently dared with my eyes for him to say something about me imprinting. Jared must have been

aware of my anger rising because he started putting his hands out and slowly started backing away like a criminal trying to appear innocent.

"No, I didn't mean anything bad about it; I just really want to met the on girl that can actually tame you," Jared replied with a smirk. After that he said congratulations and promised to humiliate me with embarrassing stories about my childhoods past. Emily made me extra blueberry muffins and everything was going perfect, that is until Sam called me out privately and asked me to phase with him. At first I thought he was going to give me the regular imprinting speech about how she is my soul mate and that I shouldn't treat her like I treated all my previous girlfriends, but I was surprised when he started the conversation by replaying in his mind a flashback of when he was a newborn werewolf. Sam was the first to phase and he showed me how he was scared out of his mind because he didn't know what was going on with him. Then he skipped to an image of him meeting Emily for the first time. It was a little sad because at the time he was currently going out of Emily's cousin Leah. Leah wanted to introduce Sam to her parents and Emily just happened to be visiting her relatives at the time. Once Sam saw his imprint Emily every single feeling he had for Leah instantly disappeared. He ended up breaking up with Leah and asked Emily out, or at least tried to. She was really ticked off with him and started cursing him out saying that he was a stupid a**hole and that she could never hurt Leah like that. Sam couldn't take face the fact that his soul mate hated him and he accidentally phased, scarring her as he did so. It was his deepest regret ever and he could never forgive himself for what he did to her.

Somehow, deep down inside, I'm pretty sure I always knew that he was the one who created those scars on the left side of her face. But I was never really curious about the story behind them. When I first met Emily she already had those makings so it was something that I thought she always had but when I really thought about it those three long scars she had reminded me of my sharp claws I had as a werewolf.

Sam, finally getting tired of me talking to myself my mind finally decided to intervene.

"The point I'm trying to make is that you know I love Emily more than anything in the world, and if I manage to do that to her imagine what you can do." Suddenly, I realized what he was trying to do: he wasn't trying to stop me from being a jerk to my imprint; he was trying to protect her from me physically hurting her. He knew how short my temper was and he didn't want that to affect my future relationship with her.

"You felt the pain and agony I felt when I disfigured her, I don't want you to make the same mistake."

That was then that I made a secret promise to myself. I would in no way in any shape or form ever hurt my imprint. The pain I would be in knowing that I caused her to her hurt would just be too unbearable for me to handle. I know that I didn't even know her name but still she meant more to me than anybody ever could. So that's why I'm wondering down the hallways of La Push High School, trying to find the girl of my dreams. I looked in the gym, the classrooms, the principal's office, and the cafeteria, but I did not find her anywhere. I mean this school isn't but so big, where could she possibly be?
