(Chapter Edited: 15/3/19)

"...I still can't believe I actually went cliff diving. Jumping off the cliff in Embry's arms I felt safe. Nothing and no-one could hurt me. The guys said they do this all the time and I can now see why. The adrenaline and the rush you get when jumping. I want to relive the moment of being in Embry's warm embrace again. The way he smiled at me and held me makes my heart just soar at the thought. – Abigail xx"

Abigail's POV

After the cliff diving with the guys and the girls, the elders of the Quileute Tribe decided to have another bonfire to celebrate the first Friday of the month. It's scary how quickly the time has gone, I have been living with Emily and Sam for over a month now and I actually feel safe and welcomed. I feel apart of a new family but I know it will never be like the family I used to have.

Tonight, the bonfire will begin at 5pm, the time currently was 12pm so I have some time to relax before I have to get ready. With that thought in mind I grab the clothes that I'll wear tonight which consists of my black leggings and tank top, my red, black and grey checked shirt, I lay this out on top of my bed once I pull the quilt up. I grab my black and white vans and put them on the ground next to my bed, happy with the outfit I walk over to my desk chair where I have my house clothes chucked over the back of the chair.

^^^ Abigail's Outfit ^^^

I grab my large Nirvana muscle tank and my comfy black leggings before going into the bathroom. Stripping from my pj's I step under the warm water feeling the water relax my muscles as I begin to wash my body, face and hair. Once finished I grab my fluffy white towel and wrap it around my body, before grabbing the second towel and wrapping my hair up in it to absorb the water.

Once my body is dried I change into my clothes and grab my tooth brush and paste to brush my teeth, spitting the toothpaste out into the sink I rinse my mouth with cold water. As I grab my hairdryer from the cupboard I feel it slip from my hands and hit the cupboard shelf before hitting the tiled floor. Shit. I pick up and inspect the damage a small dent and a few scratches here and there, great. Tossing my head around as I brush through it while drying, my hair is left in its natural loose curls down my back. Unplugging the hairdryer I leave it on the bench.

I grab my mother's necklace from the side of my bed and clasp it around my neck. Making my way down the stairs I see that the kitchen is empty which is something different, I've gotten so accustomed to the boys taking up the whole house the quietness is...strange. I put my phone on the bench with Spotify playing a pop playlist starting Taylor Swift's Delicate, I dance to the song as I grab the ingredients needed for apple cinnamon muffins one of my favourite treats.

  Oo0oOo0oO   

By the time the muffins are cooled enough Camilla Cabello's Crying in the Club, is blasting as I dance towards the table with my muffin in hand as I sing along with the lyrics, sliding a chair I dance as I drop into it before eating the slightly warm muffin hearing the muffled lyrics escape my mouth. I get lost in the song as I finish my muffin it's not until I hear laughing and clapping hands that I snap out of the musical coma that I notice Embry inside.

Heat floods to my cheeks and I feel my heart race "ahh um...how much of that did you see?" I look into his eyes and his reassuring smile helps me relax 

"I saw most of it, you have a creative dance style" he begins to laugh, and I cover my face with my hands and groan, "but you have a beautiful voice Abbie" hearing him call me Abbie makes butterflies explode within my stomach, I hear him walk off before I know it, he's beside me again, I go to say something when I stop. My eyes zero in on what's in his hands. One of my muffins. I slowly life my eyes to meet his and feel them narrow to slits. 

Embry notices my gaze and I see him visibly stiffen and his Adam's apple bop as he gulps. "Embry what's in your hand?" My tone is calm but the ice is evident as I speak each word.

He lowers the muffin away from his awaiting mouth "ahh one of the muffins from the kitchen", I put my hand up as soon as those words leave his mouth.

"Ah ah ah not one of the muffins. MY muffins that I made. And did you ask to have one?"

"No" his mumbled reply makes me lightly laugh.

"No is exactly right"

"Can I eat this one now though...please?"

When I see his puppy dog eyes and remember how nice he has been to me through this whole ordeal I feel my heart twist and I cave "fine". His eyes light up and the muffin is in his mouth in one bite. I stifle a laugh but it comes bursting out once I see his bulging cheeks as he tries to eat the muffin without any falling out.

0oOo0oLater that dayo0oOo0

^^^ Abigail's Outfit ^^^

I go back to my room to change out of my comfy house clothes to be the ones I will wear tonight at the bonfire. I replace the leggings I'm wearing now with the clean ones from my bed as I change quickly, leaving my mother's necklace around my neck. I go into my bathroom to where my makeup is and begin to pull out the basics that I need to do a natural face. 

I brush my hair and beginning to braid the side of my head before pulling it into a loose low ponytail allowing my bangs to be free before grabbing my black and white vans from my floor and slipping them on.

 0oOo0oAt the Bonfireo0oOo0

As I begin to walk towards the group I have grown to love, I see Embry turn around as if sensing me and smiles at me with loving eyes. I feel a blush reach my cheeks as I smile at him. I see the girls already sitting near the fire with some of the boys, as the others are running around and playfully tackling each other. When I reach the group the rest of the boys get up and join in the playful fights and continue to try and throw each other into the water. 

I sit down next to Kim on her right side, while Emily sat on Kim's left, I hear them converse in small talk and decide I didn't really want to join I just wanted to enjoy the nice refreshing night's air, with that thought in mind, I grab a packet of chocolate cookies out and begin to eat them

"Where'd you get those?" 

I snap my head over to see Kim smiling at me and my cookies 

"Mry pocklert." I say with my hand covering over my mouth as I speak with a mouthful of cookie Kim begins to laugh at me. I blush "my pocket" I hand over the packet of cookies so she can have one 

"You know, I'm glad you're here." I hear Kim say I look at her with a surprised face 

"Really? Why? I'm nothing special..." I mumble the last part 

"You don't know? Do you?" I look at her confused and shake my head 'no' "you have brought happiness to Embry..." I blush when she says that "he can't stop talking about how perfect and beautiful you are. You have allowed Emily to have a break when it's these bonfire nights, 'cause you help with food. You help Sam, because of the excess food the boys won't be hangry at work for him." 

I laugh as she says "I get someone to talk to" she bumps my side with her body as her face holds a kind smile.

"Thank you" I smile gratefully at her "you're not the only one who got someone to talk to" she laughs as we eat more of the cookies. 

I look over to where the boys are all mucking around until I noticed that it seemed like there was a heated argument between Paul and Embry, I could see them getting closer to each other as they argued, their fists were by their sides clenched. It seemed that Jared and Sam noticed that something was wrong and began to walk over to the two, Jared reached them first and stood between them trying to cool them off but it only seemed to fuel them on more.

I could see Paul shaking and growing violent as he tried to shove Jared away with his body as struggled in Jared's grip, while Embry who was also shaking, he wasn't trying to shove Paul he stood firm watching the two in front of him. It seemed to be growing more intense by the time Sam got to the three boys and he along with Jared dragged Paul away into a more secluded part of the beach near the tree-line, the rest of the boys following.

My curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to know why all of a sudden, the boys got angry. With that in mind I told Kim that I would be back that I just needed to go do something, I knew she had seen the boys and could feel her eyes on me, so I went one way before stopping and waiting. Looking back, I noticed she was talking with others and I made a dash for the tree-line making sure I was out of sight.

I reached the trees and found a good hiding spot coming just in time to hear some of the argument. If anyone had told me that this moment would change my life and that things would never be the same again, I wouldn't have gone, but it was too late now.

3rd Person POV

"She's my imprint Paul, and whether you like it or not that means she and I will be bonded for life. I care for her Paul and you know full well I would never hurt her."

"Yea you may have imprinted on her but remember you become what they want and if she wants you as her brother because she wants me then you'll have to deal with that. Knowing that your imprint is being fu-"

"Paul! That's enough" Sam's voice cuts through the argument.

Both males are shaking with rage looking at one another.

"Abigail is Embry's imprint and there is nothing you can do to change that Paul, let her go, you will find someone"

Paul lets out a growl "like hell" and advances towards Embry, when a quiet almost inaudible voice speaks over 

"What's an imprint?"

All heads snap to the direction of where Abigail was standing, a confused and worried look plastered on her face "I heard you all saying how I was Embry's imprint. What did you mean? And don't lie to me" Her eyes are determined as she glances between the three males, confusion swirling in her mind

Sam looks to Embry and nods his head "I guess you have to tell her now...Paul, let's go." Abigail watches as the two leave, before she turns her head to look at a guilty Embry.

"Um, why don't you just sit do -"

"No, I'll stand" her arms crossed over her chest as she interrupted him with her stern voice "but tell me right now or I swear to God I'm leaving"

Embry took a deep breath, may as well just say it, no harm in that...right? "Abigail I'm a shape shifter"

"So, like a werewolf?"

"Kind of, we shift into wolves"

"So basically a werewolf - Wait, hold up" Abigail puts her hand in the air between them with one finger raised "you said 'we' are the other guys shape shifters too?"

"Ah yes we all are - well everyone who has the tattoo"

Abigail's POV

"Oh my God" my breathing hitches as I hear what Embry is saying, all these people I have grown to love and made friendships with turn out to be wolves. How does one react to that? I know my eyes are showing my fear and shock which I'm guessing is what causes Embry to say his next part.

"We don't hurt people we protect the humans in our territory...and we have a thing called imprinting it's where we meet our soulmate and when our eyes meet you just know" Embry quickly tells me how they protect well that does make me feel better since I had heard of the animal attacks in the forest. 

As soon as he says that about imprinting, I feel even more confusion "so like love at first sight...yea?" I'm trying to wrap my head around what he is saying.

"It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like your life finally has a purpose, you feel whole and suddenly she is all you need, and you become whatever she needs  you to be whether that be as a protector, a lover, or friend" he looks at me with those worrying eyes, but I can see multiple emotions swirling in his pools of chocolate. A prominent one; love.

"So, you're bonded for life?" I can feel my breathing become uneven as I process what he is saying, I begin to breathe in and out to try and calm my racing heart.

"Yeah basically and it's not like we choose who, it just happens" I see Embry begin to step towards me with concern plastered on his face. I stay where I'm standing still having an internal freak-out.

"So, when they were saying I'm your imprint...that means that we're bonded?" I wave a hand back and forth between us as I speak, it all makes sense now, the first day when we looked at each other how we couldn't take our eyes off one another. How I feel safe when I'm near him. It all makes sense but that doesn't mean I'm calm. In fact I'm far from it. 

"Yes, and I will be whatever you want me to be I won't force you to be in a relationship with me" he was stumbling over his words and rushing to try and not scare me away, I felt a sudden sadness wash over me. That was the last straw. I can feel my heart race faster and my breathing was anything but even, my head was feeling light yet heavy at the same time. A sudden rush of heat encased my body, feeling as if I was melting, I could feel myself getting clammy. 

"I just need to um think this through..." I was struggling to keep focusing on Embry's face as he tried to explain everything, I could feel myself swaying as he continued to talk but my hearing was already gone. I look into his eyes as the world became bright before blackness swam into sight, the last thing I saw before my sight left me was Embry rushing towards me his mouth moving yet no sound met my ears.
