Truth

Well, I guess it's now or never. My overnight patrol with Brady starts in two minutes. I took a deep breath as I headed into the woods to phase for my shift.
Alright Embry, Collin go get some rest.
Good night Rye.
Yeah good night.
Good night boys. Ready to go Brady?
Of course
For the first hour we ran in complete silence. I couldn't think of how to start. Part of me was worried about Isaac.
What's wrong Bryanne? You haven't said anything.
I have something to tell you and it's just a little hard. Remember how on the first day of school here I left early?
Yes, you had all of us worried.
I left early because I was scared.
Scared of what?
To face what happened and I am still scared.
He stopped running and I stopped next to him.
Was there something we didn't protect you from? I'm sure we are dead if that was the case. And when I find out who hurt you they are dead.
No one hurt me and you can't kill anyone. That would break one of our laws. What I'm scared of is the fact that I imprinted.
You imprinted? On who?
I imprinted on Isaac Lahey.
Why didn't you tell anyone sooner?
Well, I told Leah as soon as I went home and I told my dad after our meeting today. I was scared about what everyone one will think.
Don't you think we will be happy for you?
You're not happy I can hear it in your thoughts.
That's because I care a lot about you.
I know you do. I'm just not sure why.
That's because part of me loves you.
In a way I will always love you too.
Do you love Isaac?
Yes and no. I don't really know a lot about Isaac right now. The thing is Isaac isn't human. I'm not sure what he is. That's why I was afraid.
Do you know what he is now?
No and you can't tell anyone I left that information out when I told my dad.
Why didn't you tell Jake?
I want to know everything before I tell him. This means waiting until I know what Isaac is. We should keep patrolling.
Alright
We both took off running again. We ran for a few more hours of silence.
Rye do you smell that?
It's a vampire. Call the rest of the pack I am going to fallow it.
I took off as quickly as I could after the scent of the vampire. A few moments later I heard Brady's call to the rest of the pack.
Where is it?
I'm not sure yet Leah but I think there is only one.
We are on our way.
Damn it, the vampire isn't alone.
You just said it was.
I said I think. I only have one vampire scent but that's not the only fresh scent out here.
Rye take a deep breath. Do you know the other scents?
After taking a deep breath I went into full panic mode.
It's Isaac and Scott.
I pushed myself harder I could hear the pack coming up close behind me. As I got closer I noticed there were a few others with them but not people I know. I reached them just in time to see the vampire bite Isaac. I lunged at the vampire knocking him away from Isaac. The vampire got back up and took off. I heard him mumble something about wolves not supposed to be this far south. I quickly phased and dressed. I had just pushed Scott and the others out of the way as my pack came into the small clearing we were in.
"Leah, Collin, Brady. I want that vampire brought back here alive. Seth go get Carlisle we are going to need him. Embry stay with me."
My attention was pulled away from any complaints my pack may have had by Isaac's screams.
"Bryanne tell me what the hell is going on."
"Now's not the time Scott. I promise I will tell you everything later. Right now Isaac needs medical attention."
"He will heal on his own."
"Normally yes, but this time he won't."
I touched the bite mark on Isaac's neck and then touched the small amount of blood to my tongue.
"Embry do you remember what Edward taught us about blood types?"
"Yeah, but why is that important?"
"I need you to go to the local hospital and get blood. Three of the rarest. If not the most universal. The medical card is in the safe at home."
I was quickly running out of time.
"Scott do you have a phone?"
He pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to me. I put it on speaker as I called Carlisle.
"Hello, this is Dr. Cullen. "
"Grandpa it's Rye. I don't have a lot of time to talk. Have you found out what effects venom can have on me?"
"Not yet I haven't finished the trials."
"I hate to say this then, but you are about to get a full medical case study. I don't have time to explain. Seth is on his way to meet you, just please try to hurry."
"Alright, I'll call your parents they are still in La Push."
I hung up the phone taking a deep breath as Isaac screamed again in pain. I had no other choice he is my imprint and my job was to protect him and I was failing. I slowly lowered my lips to the bite on his neck. I began to suck the venom from his blood. At first I spit it out once I had a mouth full but it was taking too much time. I had to swallow the rest. Shortly after his blood was clean Embry came back.
"Rye I got you what I could."
"Very good."
As it set up an IV for Isaac I started to feel the burn from the venom running through my body. Before long everything went black and I passed out.


I woke up later in a hospital bed with a dark haired woman hovering over me. I glanced around the room; it was a real hospital room. I began to panic there is no way I could be here. The doctors and nurses would surly discover that I'm not human. Especially this one that is hovering over me.
"It's alright Rye relax."
Embry, how could he let them bring me here? Idiot. I turned my head in the direction of his voice to glare at him.
"Don't look at me like that. Carlisle talked to her it's alright. He was afraid he wouldn't make it in time since you passed out."
"Oh, good she's awake. I can take her temperature now. I'll be right back."
With that the woman that was hovering over me left the room.
"Don't worry she knows about me and Isaac."
I turned to the opposite side of the room where Scott was stood next to Isaac in a bed. As I looked at Scott I could see resemblance between him and the woman that had been hovering over me. Then I remembered when he had had dinner at my hose he told me his mom was one of the head nurses at the hospital.
"So, what you're saying is that she is good with weird?"
"If you mean that unusual things don't freak her out too much then yes."
"Good, then she won't have a heart attract when she reads the thermometer that she just went to get."
"Why's that?"
I didn't get to answer Scott's question because his mom rushed back into the room and quickly took my temperature.
"Oh my god, you have a high fever!"
"What is it?"
"105"
"Not to freak you out or anything but that is actually low. My normal temperature is 108."
"There is no possible way you could be alive if that were the case."
"Take Embry's temperature."
A few moments later Brady cam bursting through the door. I'm sure he broke the lock on the door. Everyone on the room jumped at his entrance and even Isaac woke up. He then proceeded to fly across the room and start checking me over. My parents and Grandpa Carlisle came in the room after Brady. My mom grabbed Brady by the back of his shirt collar to pull him out of the way. Only to start checking me over in the same way he had been.
"Bryanne Marie Black, what were you thinking. Venom could kill you, you are half wolf."
I mumbled low enough that I hoped only she could hear.
"It was my imprint that had been bit."
"Imprint!?"
I looked over at my dad who was looking at the floor sheepishly. So he didn't tell her that I had an imprint. I was receiving strange looks from Melissa (Scott's mom), Scott and Isaac.
"Can we talk about this later?"
"No, we will talk about this right now?"
I sighed.
"Well, then everyone has to be patient and hear the whole story."
"Fine."
I looked at my dad questioningly. He nod at me to say it was alright to tell the whole story. For the beginning I turned in the bed to face Melissa, Scott and Isaac. Carlisle started to do test on me while I talked.
"Alright well first off you should know that I am half Quileute Indian. The Quileutes believe that we descended from wolves. Long ago our ancestors used the spirit of the wolves to defeat our enemies. When the warriors used the spirits they would transform into wolves. One day a strange cold man came across of the tribe, he attack some of the tribe. The spirit warriors were the only ones in the tribe that were able to defeat him. Only there razor sharp teeth could cut through his flesh, though the only true way to kill his was to burn the pieces. Over time many of the tribes enemies have disappeared but one remains, the cold ones. When one is near the magic of the spirit warriors awakens and we once again become wolves to protect the tribe. However only those that are direct descends of the first spirit warriors become wolves."

I paused waiting for what I just said to sink in to those around me.

"What are the cold ones?"

It was Isaac who asked the question I could see on all of their faces. I look to Carlisle to know if I should continue. When he nodded to me, I continued.

"Cold ones are vampires, but not all of us are the same though. You see I am also half vampire."

"Wait, Wait, Wait, you mean like human blood drinking vampires?"

I turned to face Stiles who has just come into the room as I started to talk about being Quileute.

"Yes and No, many vampires do drink human blood but not all of us do. The one that attacked Isaac does, my family however doesn't. We are what we call vegetarian vampires. Instead of drinking the blood of a human we drink the blood of animals such as deer. Vampires that drink the blood of a human have ruby red eyes, but vampires that drink the blood of animals have gold eyes. However both have black eyes when they need to hunt and newborns of both have crimson eyes."

"Your eyes were green and now they are almost a reddish brown."

I looked up and my eyes were met with the shining topaz eyes of my grandfather Edward. I hadn't even heard him come into to room. I immediately dropped my gaze to the floor, I didn't want to see this disappointment in his eyes.

"Rye has green eyes because she is only part vampire. Just like her mom Renesmee here has Chocolate brown eyes because she is only half vampire. Rye's eyes are currently reddish brown because she did something very noble. She drank the blood of a human to save his life. Bryanne drank only enough of Isaac's blood to save his life. She removed the blood from his body that had been poisoned by the venom of the vampire that bit him. She did so to save him without knowing to possible risks that the venom could have had on her."

As Grandpa Edward said the word noble he lifted my chin with his fingers to look into my eyes.

"Don't worry my dear once you hunt they will return to normal once again. Now before Rye explains what an imprint is like I know you all are still wondering about I think it is Scott or Isaac's turn to explain something."

I looked but at my grandfather, I may be able to block things out of my mind from my dad and pack but nothing gets past my mindreading grandfather.

"Well, I guess it won't hurt it's not like you guys will freak out because we aren't really human either. Isaac and I are werewolves. We can change when we want but we do change at the sight of the full moon."

I smiled to myself I knew they weren't human and I knew they were some type of wolf. I felt at ease once I knew what they were.

"Alright well I guess it's my turn again then. The Quileute wolves have this thing known as imprinting. Imprinting is when a wolf finds their sole mate. A wolf will be anything their imprint needs them to be whether it be a protector, brother or sister, best friend or even a lover. They will be what ever it is that is needed by the imprint. If they are told they are unneeded then they will leave. A wolf can't live without their imprint and will do what ever is necessary for the imprint to be happy. It was once thought that imprints were rare but many in our pack have them. It is believed that the imprints make our pack stronger."

"So, you have an imprint?"

"Yes, Isaac I do have an imprint. You are my imprint."


Thanks to those of you that have reviewed. Please let me know how you think Jake will react to the news that Rye's imprint is a werewolf. And how will Isaac react to being an imprint.
