3Authors Note: Hey! So this is kinda a random story based on an OC I made with my "wifey" while we were simply enjoying ourselves while rp'ing in PM's anything that came to our minds. I started this story looong ago (well maybe I started on October actually… it was supposed to be for her bday), and I still haven't finished it. I would say I'm not even halfway done. But as our anniversary is coming up I thought it'd be nice to at least continue this story –not finish it unless my authors block lets me live-, and I'll be posting it here so she would enjoy it easier, and anyone else who wants can enjoy it.
Don't take this story too seriously, it might probably be full of grammar, spelling and even writing mistakes. I tend to write when inspiration strikes and as English is not my birth language it's prone to being full of mistakes. And as usually this stories are only read by the person for whom I wrote them for I don't exactly have a Beta for them, and Word can only show me some of the mistakes.
Bear with me regarding the mistakes, and please help me by pointing them out in the reviews. Just please avoid the flames, I tend to take them a bit too seriously as my self-esteem as author is not high and I've erased some drafts of stories due to it more than once.
That being said: Just read and enjoy! Let me know what you think.
Previously on: Unexpected Encounter…
It seemed that he realized quickly also that he had imprinted and smiled a little sheepishly at me, offering me his hand to shake
-Sorry, should introduce myself before staring so much. Hey, I'm Paul Lahote-
Paul… oh! He was part of my dad's Pack then, though I didn't know much about him as from what little Dad had said about him I could only gather they didn't really get along. Still I decided that it wouldn't hurt maybe getting to know him better seeing I knew the basics of imprinting and knew a little what to expect. So I smiled and took his hand.
-Nice to meet you Paul, I'm Lizzie Bane-
And so my new life began, one in which I'd learn that things don't always happen as you plan them, but they always turn out in a happy way.
After we introduced each other we began talking about random things, mostly he asking me if I was from around here and what I liked to do. Of course, I had to lie at him concerning where I had been born and obviously of my true name. I couldn't risk anyone knowing about my true identity, at least not till I was ready to face what would come when they knew about it.
So I told him that I'd rather not talk much about my life but that I'd been living in California for the last 2 years and had been on a small tour around the state as I was a rising singer but had no desire to become a huge celebrity. I told him about Magnus, but omitted the part about him being a vampire as I knew he wouldn't take it too well, and also it'd look strange I knew about vampires and wolves without having had any previous encounter with the last nor having come here before.
I found that talking to him came easily, and I found myself smiling more than I did on a normal day just by that fact. He told me a little about himself but also kept some things away as he wouldn't have been able to explain right now how he had been born in the same generation as my dad but didn't look any older than 21. He also didn't mention anything concerning wolves, which I was expecting so it didn't surprise me much.
The day so far had been a little sunny with just some clouds in the sky, but it seemed that in the time we began talking to each other and walked around a bit the clouds began gathering. Then, to my luck –not-, the normal weather of Forks began making itself present and rain began pouring down from the sky.
-Aw crap! I thought it'd stay sunny today for once! - This was supposed to be me thinking but then I heard a booming laugh and turned around just to see Paul laughing.
I blushed, suddenly realizing I had spoken my thoughts out loud and he had heard it. Though he seemed very amused about my reaction concerning the weather as I had sadly gotten used to the mild-sunny weather of the area of California I had been living with Magnus for a whole year.
-It doesn't stay sunny too much, welcome to the rainy part of Washington. Come on, let's get you out of the rain before you get sick.- He took my hand and began leading me at a fast pace towards the nearest house.
At first I didn't realize we had walked so much, but now that I could see getting closer the house he was leading me too I realized it had been a quite lot. The house coming towards us was my old childhood house, the Black Home. I don't know how I didn't freeze in place and catch Paul's attention but my anxiety got doubled the closer we got. If things went out wrong my parents would find out it was me, and then if they also found out Paul just imprinted on me, or that I was living with a leech all hell would break loose.
When we reached the porch of the house he knocked on the door and then turned around to me. He seemed then to notice I was worried but thankfully he didn't know the real reason why, and he just made an assumption which I was more than glad to follow.
-Don't worry, I know the owners of the house. I don't think they'd mind lending us an umbrella, or at least let us dry off till the rain stops.-He smiled reassuringly at me and I allowed it to calm me down.
He turned back to the door when it opened and I almost by instinct hid behind him when my mom appeared in the doorway, though I'm sure she didn't notice me there right now.
-Paul? What are you doing here?-She sounded honestly surprised and that just gave more possibilities to the fact that Paul and my dad had never really gotten along and as such he didn't come over to the house.
-Hey Ness, I wondered if you would mind Lizzie, my imprint, and me getting cover from the rain here or if you would lend us an umbrella so I take her to my house for now- Of course, he said the imprint part low enough so any normal human wouldn't have heard, but I had ¼ of vamp so I could still catch it. Though for his sake I made no move to show I heard.
My mom just smiled when hearing about the imprint and took notice of me, but she just nodded friendly her head at me. Nothing seemed to point she recognized me, which gave me a boost of confidence as it meant my new appearance worked very well.
She invited us on and handed us some towels to dry off, to then take off towards the kitchen maybe. Paul just smiled in reassurance to me and handed me a towel, which I took while smiling back. I dried off my hair, glad the paint was waterproof and got off some of my makeup also, not that I minded it much. I blinked a couple times to check that my contacts were okay and let out an internal sigh of relief when seeing I wouldn't need to change them.
After that day Paul and I met up in the beach a couple more times and would go for a walk every time we could, just getting to know each other more. I would sometimes invite him over to Seattle, to the small bar I was "working" in right now as singer during some nights. Magnus always stayed by the sidelines making sure no guy I didn't want came near me, and having Paul at my side was enough threat for any other guy.
Life was taking a good course for the future, and I began thinking happily about what would happen next on it. Plus wondering when would Paul tell me about wolves or if I'd need to go to a bonfire and listen to the legends. The idea of getting so close again to my family and the rest of the Pack was a bit scary as I could only hope no one recognized me. But having Paul with me would be the best part for sure.
