Part 8 - Coming Home And Meeting Zahn
After coming home, they all went to work on to move forward, and be able to go back to their own normalcy, like Bella was being homeschooled for her last year in high school before she would graduate early in december instead of next late june.
Therefore she would be able to do some work if she wanted to, as she had told them that she didn't want to go to college just yet, and they could understand that and supported her through it all. Many of the Natives didn't get the chance to go to college, not just for their shapeshifting gene, but also for the money was a quite an issue for them to pay for college.
So most either did what Eddie and Michael had done which was to be in the acting business or some type of that industry. Others worked their butts off to get the money to get into their college and degree that they wanted to have. Bella didn't know what she wanted yet to do, so she got a job in a local grocery store, part-time only for now, nearby her home with Matt and Sarah aswell their children who were in school.
And she loved it, despite some guys had hit on her, but they quickly learned to back off and respect boundaries after she used some her self-defence tactics onto them that Matt and his brothers had helped her with, she also knew how to shoot with a gun, bow and other things, aswell knowing how to dance their kind of dances and sing like they did.
She had a very beautiful singing voice for sure and one day, the door to the grocery store dinged, and she was behind the counter, singing to herself, when a voice said
"Excuse me, could you help me with something?" And she looked up and saw none other Zahn McClarnon before, as she knew of him aswell knew how he looked like, for Michael and Eddie had shown both pictures and their works with him before, and she gasped before said
"Of course, Zahn, I can help you." At that he stared at her in shock of her using his first name, and he said
"How do you know my name?" Bella smiled slightly, and said
"I am daugther of Matthew and Sarah Spears, Matt is a brother to Michael and Eddie Spears, who are like my uncles."
At that he gasped, and grasped her outstreched hand in his, and both could feel the electricy between them, and when their eyes re-met, that was when the Imprint happened, and just then Michael, Eddie and Matt came in to see this view before them, and all three were in shock to see not Zahn being in town, but also that he had imprinted clearly on their daugther/niece.
And it made them smile widely, before Michael said
"Oi, Zahn, you didn't tell us that you were going to be in town?" And Zahn now looking over to the three gave a grin, while Bella stood confused of what just had happened, and Zahn said
"I only choose to come here to see you guys, but before I did, I came here to some snacks and a drink and I got to meet your beautiful niece, Mike, Ed. And this must be her father, your brother, Matthew."
At that the three men grinned, and Matt shook Zahn's hand, while Bella flushed of being called beautiful so out loud and to her father's ears. Matt went then over to her side and gave her a hug, as he said
"How is things going here, baby-girl?" Bella grinned up to him, and said
"It is all fine here, daddy. What was that with Zahn, I m-mean our stilled look on each other and the electricy?"
Matt smiled while taking a breath, and he said
"Baby, you remember our stories?" At that she nodded before gasping, said
"He is one of you too?" At that Matt nodded, and Bella now knew what had happened, and she said
"I can only accept, for I don't want to even say reject to him, daddy. But I am scared."
"Do not be babygirl, he will be a gentleman and also very patient with you."
Bella nodded, and smiled too, as Zahn had heard some of it, but to hear that she accepted the Imprint, it made him happy enough, and Michael and Eddie grinned to each other, that Bella had accepted their best friend and that they would take it easy with each other, especially him with her, when he learns why she was so apphrensive with it all.
"And that is 4 dollars and 53 cents, Zahn. By the way." Zahn smiled and gave her 5 and told her to keep the change, and he left with Michael and Eddie, and the pull was there with them both. Matt said
"Are you off now?" Bella nodded as she pulled of the apron and said
"Yes, I am off just waiting on you to come when Zahn came in."
At that he nodded with a smile, and the two took off after Eddie, Michael and Zahn gone to which was Michael's home in town.
Bella would need to not only tell him where she comes from, but also why she is apphrensive about their bond with each other to Zahn. But she was very happy to be bonded to the man that her uncles loved as a friend of theirs, now he would be one day family to them all too.
