Chapter 5
I couldn't help, but worry about Paul and Jared. Who goes out on a run at night and what about the whole shaking and growling thing. I didn't know that people growled at other people.
"You all right honey?" Jacob's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Yeah I'm okay just trying to figure out what just happened," I explained.
"Oh that's just Paul he has anger issues, so he gets angry really easily. I'm not really sure why he was mad, but it can't be about you, so you shouldn't worry."
"Are they gonna be all right, since there out there in the dark. What about all the wild animals out there?"
He kind of chuckled," Don't worry about them they'll be fine."
Almost simultaneously we heard the front door open and close. My heart skipped a beat when Jared walked in alone. Was Paul okay? Why didn't he come back? Is it because of me?
Jared walked straight over to Sam and they went into the other room. After a couple of minutes we heard the phone ring and Sam answer it. Soon Sam walked back into the room and told Jacob that Billy needed him back at the house for a couple minutes.
"Bye sweetheart, I'll be right back it shouldn't take long," he said giving me a quick kiss before jogging out the back door.
I had to admit without Jacob here I felt a little out of place everyone seemed to be doing there own thing and none of it involved me. Sam and Emily were talking quietly in the corner of the kitchen. After they had eaten dinner Jared and Kim went into the living room to watch a movie. Paul still hadn't come back from his run and who knows where Embry was. My thoughts turned to Jacob and how perfect our time together had been.
"What are you over there smiling about?" Speak of the devil and he should appear there stood Embry Call. Looking at him made me think of Quil's frightened face.
"Nothing," I said blushing.
"Awww are you thinking about your Jakey,'' he said smirking.
"No," I denied.
"Sure, sure," he replied setting himself down across from me at the table," Hey have you talked to Quil at all lately?" He looked at me expectedly. His question caught me a little off guard I didn't think that this was the way that this conversation would go.
"Yeah in fact I just saw him earlier," I said looking down at the table.
"Really what did he say?" He asked me obviously excited. I felt bad that what I was going to tell him was probably not what he thought it was going to be.
"Umm I don't think that this is the best place to talk about it." I said looking at Sam on the other side of the kitchen. There was some stuff that Quil said that wasn't exactly very nice.
"Oh right," he said with a slight smile on his face," follow me." He said leading me out of the kitchen and up the stairs and finally into an empty room.
"Who's room is this?" I asked looking around.
"It's the room that we stay in if we want to stay the night at Sam's house," he said shutting the door and settling himself on the bed," Now what did he say?"
"Well to start I found him walking on the side of the road just outside of La Push. He looked upset so I offered him a ride to his house. I asked him what was wrong and he said he had been wandering around the woods for an hour looking for you guys because he was worried about you guys because you guys joined Sam and his cult," I paused to take a breath," And he said he didn't want to be next."
Embry immediately went rigid," No that won't happen," he said getting up and beginning to pace shaking ever so slightly, "It's over now. Why is this happening? Im sorry Bella I have to go. Thank you for telling me," he said before leaving the room.
By the time I got to the top of the stairs he had already disappeared from sight. I walked into the kitchen and everyone was back in there except of course for Paul and Jacob. I sat myself back down in my chair and leaned my head back and closed my eyes. My mind was so loud thinking about this day that I didn't even here the front door open and close or here someone step through the doorway.
"Bella can we take a walk?"
My head snapped up to see Paul standing there in the doorway. I glanced around to see everyone staring at me expectantly.
"Oh great no pressure," I mumbled quietly, but the guys all laughed as if I had said it out loud," Sure why not," I said getting up from my chair, but as I started walking towards him seeds of doubt began to plant in my mind. What was I doing? Why was I going outside at night with a guy I just met today.
Paul must have seen my hesitation because he grabbed my wrist so hard I tried not to wince and pulled me out the door and down the steps.
"Lets go to the beach," he said taking off in the direction that I assumed was the beach. I practically had to run to keep up with him. He adjusted his stride to match mine and I looked around at the trees half expecting to see a pair of red eyes that matched bright red hair staring at me through the trees. Ever since I had found out about Victoria hunting me I was more jumpy then usual.
"There isn't any animals out here," Paul said noticing my weariness.
"That's not what I'm worried about," I murmured but my head snapped towards me anyways.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing," I replied quickly.
The last thing he needed to know was that I tangled with vampires.
Not long after we arrived at First Beach the very place that I had found out the Cullens were vampires and that my life was always in danger after Jake had told me the Quilete legends.
We settled onto a piece of driftwood.
"So what are we doing out here on this fine night?"
"Well miss Bella have you ever heard of the Quilete legends?" He asked me.
"Jake told me a little bit about them."
"I'm going to kill that kid," he hissed," How much did he tell you?"
"Not much. He told me a long time ago anyway." Yeah a really long time it felt like another lifetime.
"Okay well anyway. It all started..." And with that he told me all the Quilete legends ever known. When he was done I was speechless for a couple moments, but I quickly found my voice.
"So let me get this straight. The whole time everyone thought you guys were a cult your actually a pack of werewolves sworn to protect the tribe and Emily and Kim are imprints which is when you find your soul mate and are bound to them for life. Is there anything else I should know?"
He hesitated and I waited.
"Bella I imprinted on you."
