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…
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.
A couple weeks had gone by already and I was becoming much more relaxed concerning going over to La Push and spending time with Paul instead of him coming over to my flat all the time. Now that I was sure that no one suspected who I was really it was much easier to interact with them. Though I avoided Demi, and my parents when possible as if someone would be able to know it was me, that would be them as they're my family.
Right now I was finishing to get ready to go over to a bonfire at La Push. Paul hadn't told me much, saying it was a surprise and I simply let him do as he wanted as it was obvious he was as nervous as I was, if not more. He was probably nervous about how I would react to all the wolf stuff and the imprinting. And I was nervous about telling him Marcus was a vampire, as his reaction to the fact his imprint was almost living with a "leech" could be very varied.
Taking a deep breath I sigh and finish getting ready, trying to appear calm and not worry Paul even more than what he was already. I was glad that I remembered some of the legends and a few things regarding imprinting as that would help me to not react the wrong way when Paul tried explaining them all.
I come out of the room and wait for Paul to arrive as he insisted on picking me up from here and riving to La Push, even if I told him over and over that was perfectly capable of driving there myself. Hopefully, he would like what I was wearing and that would calm him enough to calm me down also.
No more than 5 minutes had gone by when I heard the doorbell ring and I stood up to go open the door, smiling when seeing Paul in the other side
-Hey Paul-
He smiled back at me and kissed my cheek, making me blush as I still wasn't used to the idea of having him as my boyfriend.
-Hey Liz, you look very pretty-
-Thanks-
I walked out and closed the door behind him, following him towards the car and getting in. I dozed off mentally while he was driving trying to gather my thoughts and at the same time relax a bit to not appear like I was hiding something at the bonfire. Being so nervous wouldn't help me pass by unnoticed and not driving attention to me.
I snap out of my "dream world" when hearing Paul call my name with amusement, and open my eyes to fully look at him. He was staring amused at me, as if wondering if I had really fallen asleep on a 2 hour car drive during late evening so easily. I simply blushed a little and told him I hadn't slept well last night due to a couple things that I had to do around the house.
He just shook his head at me and told me that I should sleep some more or next time I'll end up falling asleep on him during one of our walks. I glared playfully at him and hit him softly in the arm, earning another laugh from him. We got out of the car and walked towards where the bonfire was going to be held.
As a child I had only gone to a couple bonfires and had fallen asleep quickly along with my sister. So my memories regarding exactly which legends would be told were very fuzzy, which would allow me at least to enjoy hearing the legends. And the few things I knew regarding imprinting had been those that mom had told us Demi and I when we were younger. Obviously it was only the basics as how do you explain everything about imprinting to two little girls that are 9 and 7 years old?
I chuckle internally at the memory and follow Paul to the logs that were put as seats near the bonfire and sit next to him. Though I end up snuggling closer as the weather was chilly and the jacket I had on didn't help much in keeping the cold out of my body.
After all the legends were told and the people began talking to each other about random things I felt a tug on my hand and looked towards Paul. He motioned for me to get up and follow him, but it was obvious he was worried about telling me that the legends were real. I smiled, hoping to calm him down and stood up, following him towards a more private spot near the forest.
-Look Lizzie, I gotta tell you something. All the legends you heard back there… they're real. Vampires exist, as so do wolves. Right now, there are 2 Packs of sorts. One, with Jacob as Alpha and another with Demi, his daughter as Alpha. I'm a wolf too, but turned into one around the time of Jacob's Pack, though I didn't stop phasing and therefore didn't age physically too much. As for the imprinting legend... that's real also. That day on the beach, when we met and I looked into your eyes I imprinted on you.-
He was shaking while telling me all this, but I could tell it was due to being nervous, as it was really a lot of information to take in. And if I was being honest, if I hadn't known what to expect I would have seriously gone into shock and tried running away. Instead, I waited patiently for him to end and went over to hug him.
-If you're expecting me to run away scared, or be mad, then I'll be disappointing you. I'm not going anywhere Paul. –
He seemed to relax a lot and hugged me back, sighing in relief at the knowledge I wasn't going to leave him or anything of that type. We stayed like that for maybe a couple minutes before he pulled back and told me to wait here, that he'd go show me something. I simply nodded, not sure of what he was planning to do.
I found out rather quickly. Less than a minute after he had gone into the woods, a big silver wolf came out –or at least I saw his wolf silver but it might be due to moon's light or the fact that it was dark and the contacts I had didn't help much either- and came over to me. I was a little afraid, I had to admit that. The only wolf of the Pack I had been near of was my sister, when she phased for the first time and came over to my window to get some clothes to try change back. And that had been almost 4 years ago if I remembered correctly.
He nuzzled my hand and laid down, letting me take my time to absorb everything that happened and get over the shock of seeing another wolf. He seemed like he was the double of size of what I remembered from Demi's wolf. After a couple seconds I sat down and began petting his head, now more calm and smiling at him.
-This is strange, it feels as I'm petting a way too big puppy- I giggled when he huffed and poked me with his nose, making me fall to my side still laughing. It was obvious I had hurt his "wolf ego" by calling him a puppy.
We stayed there teasing each other for a good while before he stood up and left to change back so we could go back to the bonfire. I stood up also, brushing the sand off my clothes the best I could and hoping not to look too messy. If my father ever found out who I was he'd probably go crazy knowing I was here alone with Paul, and that he imprinted on me. But oh well, it wasn't as if he could do anything about it, and if I could avoid it he wouldn't know who I was until I wanted to.
Paul came back quickly and grinned at me, taking my hand and leading me back to the bonfire while the guys were in the middle of a fight. This was good for us as I knew enough of them to know that they'd tease me restlessly the first few days now that I knew their secret. And the more I could avoid it today the better as I'd be blushing hard if they began their teasing.
This day went out better than I had thought at first, and I'm glad it did as the bad outcomes had drove me crazy with worry the night before. I was happy right now with what I had, and wouldn't change it for anything I was offered. I had someone who understood me and would be always by my side, I had Magnus who could care for me anytime I needed it plus encouraging me to follow what I thought was best. Maybe one day I'll come back to my family, and allow life to continue that way, but as for now I was just happy to be next to Paul.
