Author: I'm glad people love this story. I saw the movie it ROCKED!!!!! Can't wait for New Moon
--------------------------
Embry P.O.V
Ow, my head was killing me. What the hell happened? I opened my eye and saw I was on the couch, I was still in wolf form and I could here the packs thoughts.
"Embry?" Quill asked "Dude what the hell happened?" he asked.
There were a few more wolves that had phased and I was bombarded with questions. The headache I had intensified and I phased to avoid them.
I sat up on the couch rubbing my head; I winced when I touched a partially sore. There was a bathrobe neatly folded and I put it on to cover my nakedness. I tried to remember what had happened but there was a blank.
"Embry?" Jacob called walking into the room with Carlisle and Edward came strolling in.
"Jake? What happened?" I asked.
"Don't you remember?" he asked.
"No he doesn't" Edward said with a sad smirk.
"Out of my head leech" I growled.
"Embry" Carlisle said getting my attention, "Think hard, you were waiting for Sara to return from her first hunt, then what happened?" he asked.
"I can't...I think I was waiting for Sara to come back, I was very nervous I was worried she might get scared or something…" I said rubbing my head trying to remember.
"So far so good" Edward said.
"Stay out of my head leech" I snarled at him.
"He's trying to help" Jake said.
"We need to see if your injury has impaired your memory, and hopefully find out exactly what caused the incident" Carlisle said.
"Incident? I asked.
"Just try thinking about what happened I can only hear what you’re thinking not your mind" Edward said.
"Great" I muttered.
"So you were waiting for them when they arrived?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes I saw them coming so I decided to walk over and see how Sara was doing, she looked a little shaky" I said remembering, "I walked up to them looking at Sara then..." I trailed off trying to remember.
"This is it starts to get fuzzy" Edward said.
"What were you wearing at the time?" Carisle asked.
"Uh, just a pair of sweats" I said.
"Ah that might have done it" Carlisle said with a knowing smirk.
"What? What happened?" I demanded trying to remember.
"He can't remember" Edward said his face was in a scowl, "But weather it's because of Rose or Sara I can't tell" he said.
"Will someone tell me what happened?!" I shouted.
They looked at each other and Jake explained,
"Well Sara has a power, were not sure but it seems to be like Jasper’s, only a bit more...extreme" he said rubbing the back of his head.
"We think seeing you shirtless appealed to her and caused her power to become activated. You became enthralled with her and started to as they say make out" Carlisle said.
"Rose tried to stop you but you phased and attacked her and Emmett, we arrived before things got out of hand but Rose was upset about her shirt being ripped so she bonked you on the head" Jake said.
"What! That big blonde bitch I’m gonna…!" I began.
"Enough Embry" Jake said, "Calm down, we need your help".
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Well when she learned she may have been responsible for your episode, she locked herself in her room and refuses to come out" Carlisle said.
Rose P.O.V
I could have killed that mongrel, no I should have killed him! First he starts molesting Sara practically after everything she's been through, then he attacks me and Emmett and tares my shirt! And now because that little man whore couldn't keep it in his pants she's gone and locked herself in her room. Everyone was outside her door trying to talk her out, but she refused. She was scared that she might cause one of us to go berserk and was too afraid.
"Jasper can't you do something" I asked him.
"I already am" he said looking at me frustrated "This is as good as I can do, she's hysterical" he said.
"Sara come out" Esme begged her, "its ok no harm done these things happen" she said.
"They do?" Emmett asked.
We all glared at him, "It's ok Sara I’m a shield, I block powers" Bella said "I’ve got a shield up right now".
"Then why do I still feel calmer than I should" she said through the door.
"Oh well Jasper doesn't work with mind powers he effects the body" Bella said.
"Then how do you know I won't effect your body huh, I know Embry's body was effected" she screeched.
"Does she mean he had a bon-"
"EMMETT!" we all shouted at him.
"Jus go away leave me alone" she said weakly.
"I could break the door down" Emmett offered.
"Yes but she would toss you out, she's still a newborn" Alice said.
Damn it why did this have to happen, everything was going so well! Why did that dog have to be there? Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Sara let me in" Alice gently said, "I see the future and you don't effect me or anyone here" she said.
After a few seconds the door unlocked and it opend enough to let Alice in "Can the girls come in?" Sara asked Alice.
"Yes there safe" Alice said and we all went in leaving Jasper and Emmett outside.
Sara was on the bed, she looked a wreck "I'm sorry" she whispered.
"It's ok dear" Esme said hugging her.
"I don't know what happened, I saw him there and next thing I know were kissing and I liked it so I kissed him back and I got lost in the moment and" she trailed off.
"I'm sorry I didn't see this coming" Alice said, "I don't see wolves in my visions".
"What’s wrong with me?" she asked.
"Nothing dear you just developed a power is all" Esme said.
"Yeah, you’re not the first one to develop an awkward power" I said.
"Imagine being telepathic like Edward, always hearing what people were thinking. It would get pretty awkward for all of us when we started to make out or start the loving" I said and she let out a squeak that was a laugh.
"I remember when Carlisle and I got married, our honeymoon was wondrous" Esme said with a smile remembering the said night "Poor Edward we kept on thinking about that night he wouldn't see us for a month" and we all laughed.
"Oh remember when Jasper first went to school" Alice said, "Poor Jasper he was so new to the vegetarian lifestyle and going to high school with his gift, all those hormonal teenagers and there angst they were just begging to be put out of their misery" Alice said.
"Oh and Nessie" Bella said, "She gets Emmett into so much trouble, he'll say something he shouldn't in front of her then she'll asked Jake or Edward and show them the memory".
"I just can't believe what happened, I don't know what caused it" she said, "How can I stop it from happening if I don't know what caused it" she said.
"Isn't obvious?" I asked "You have the hots for him bad" I said.
"I don't know what you’re talking about" she said looking away.
"Oh come on, you have a tall half-naked well muscled man walking to you who you have feelings for" I said looking at you slyly, "Your trigger is lust, just try not to feel lustful for him and you should be fine" I said.
"Easier said then done" she muttered.
"Simple just smell him that should be a turn off" I said.
"Rose" Esme scalded.

Embry P.O.V
After I got more appropriate clothing we walked to Sara's room, "I still don't think this is a good idea" Jake said.
"I agree" Edward said, "We don't know if he will become enamored with her if he sees her again".
"I wasn't all over her before" I said defensively.
"I think it was Embry's appeal to Sara that caused the power to activate; as long as they keep things G-rated things should be fine".
"G-rated" Edward said raising his eyebrow.
"Yes well with all the wolves hanging around the house lately I pick up a few slang" he said shrugging.
"But what exactly is her power?" Jake said stopping us, "I mean how did she get such a powerful power she's so...meek" he said.
"Well our human characteristics get carried over into our vampire lives and increased. Obviously her home life is partly to blame" Carlisle said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well this is just a theory but all her life she was raise in cruelty and pain. Her mother never showed her an ounce of affection, she was abused physically and verbally in her house and out, yet she always tried to be a good daughter and a good student. People assumed her lifestyle would cause her to be a delinquent of some kind, so if you’re her, what do you do? You become an obedient daughter, a hard worker and a straight A student proving to the world that your worth something, but on the inside your motivation is love, love of your mother and love of your peers. You’re raised in a loveless world and soon you crave love that it becomes your motivation for everything" he said.
"So she wanted to be loved so badly her becoming a power gave her an ability were she causes a person to love her?" Jake asked.
"It is more than that" I said. All this talk of love was helping my memory, "I remember it was like I imprinted on her, all that mattered was her, everything else was secondary" I said.
"He's remembering" Edward said amazed at the memories as I was.
"It was so powerful so...irresistible I thought she was so beautiful like a goddess I would have killed anyone for her, done anything. I wanted her to love me so bad it was like I would rather burn in hell then live without her love" I said.
We stood there in silence for a while, "Great just what we need" Jake said, "I think it would be best if we kept this little episode to ourselves" he said.
"Does Sam and the others know about her" I asked nervously.
"Yes, it didn't take long for them to figure it out, I talked to Sam and let him know what happened, everything is ok as long as we keep an eye on her and don't let her feed off any humans. " he said, "But his pack is really nervous about there being a newborn running around. If they were to find out her power…" he said not finishing his sentence.
"Jesus" I said "They would go ape shit" I said.
"Things still rough in the pack?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes I don't know what’s going on Sam and I don't discus our packs inner workings but from what I’ve gathered some upstart is causing trouble, Sam's been having to use his Alpha voice more and more often".
I was more concerned about Sara; I can't imagine how this has affected her.
When we arrived at her room Emmett and Jasper were there waiting outside, "They’re having girl time" Emmett said.
"Is she ok?" I asked.
"She's shaken up, but Alice talked her into letting the girls in" Jasper said.
"How long have they been in there?" Carlisle asked.
"A few moments, I sense they are doing a good job of making her feel better, she's never had friends it's a unique feeling for her, friendship" Jasper said. I think he was enjoying the good vibes.
"Sorry for attacking you" I apologized to Emmett.
He let out one of his booming laughs, "No problem, I have to say you were a good spar though how about we do it again sometime" he said flexing his arms in a humorous way.
"Anytime big man" I teased.
"She knows we’re here" Edward said, "She can here us".
"She's really nervous now" Jasper said.
I walked over to her door and knocked, "Sara...sweetie let me in" I said gently.
"Go away!" she said, "I don't want to see you" she said her voice breaking.
"Sara please we need to talk".
"NO! You'll just go crazy again" she said sounding scared.
"Sara please" I begged, "Listen everyone's here if I start acting wonky they can stop me" I said.
"I don't want you to get hurt because of me" she whispered.
"Sara...please" I whispered.
I heard the girls murmuring, "Bella is putting her shield up" Edward said "Just a precaution".
The door opened and we all stepped in. Esme smiled at me warmly, Sara was sitting on the bed between Bella and Rose, Alice was standing by the bed. Sara was looking at the ground and the blonde was glaring at me.
"Sorry" I grunted at her but she just glared.
"Embry?" Jake asked.
"I'm fine" I said.
I walked over to Sara and saw her stiffen when she heard me walking to her I kneeled in front of her and gently tipped her head to look at me. She had her eyes closed tightly.
"Sara open your eyes" I said gently.
"I'm scared" she said.
"It's ok" I said.
She slowly opened her eyes and soon I was seeing her crimson eyes. I didn't feel any intense emotions, or felt gravity pull toward her. I only felt the desire to hold her and protect her from the world.
"I'm sorry" she whispered.
"It's ok, everything will be ok" I said.
We hugged and I let her cry. No tears came from those eyes but her body still convulsed like she was.
I stood there her in my arms and let her cry, I didn't need some weird vampire ability to make me love her, or want to protect her. I did that all on my own.
Edward P.O.V
We gave them some privacy and walked out. Carlisle called a family meeting to discus what to do. I knew he was going to have some of us take her to Alaska to visit Tanya and her clan. She needed the vacation we all did. But there was something I sensed was more urgent, but he was very good at keeping it quite. Alice knew what it was; all I got from her was all the sales her favorite store were having in the next three weeks. I knew it must be something important if both Carlisle and Alice. It made me slightly nervous which didn't happen often.
We went to Carlisle’s study for the meeting, he stood at his desk were there was a stack of papers and a old worn book. He looked grim when he picked up the book, "We may have a problem" he said.
"Is it Sara?" Rose asked worried for her...I guess friend.
"Yes and no" he said heavily, "This development with her power is disturbing".
"I felt the wolf's emotions" Jasper said, "I was nowhere near him but it was so powerful".
"But what is it?" Emmett asked "I mean is she like Jasper? Or is it something else".
"Well it's similar to what Maria could do" Carlisle said.
Everyone winced at the name of the vampire who had caused us much trouble a few months back. She had the ability to bring fear in others; she had used it to incapacitate the Cullens and dozens of wolves. She had been a real nasty piece of work but in the end she was dead. (AN:Read To love and imprint, for the whole story)
"Only instead of fear her power works with Love, Devotion, obsession or some weird mix" he said.
"It was her attraction to Embry that caused the power to activate, which is why it hasn't affected any of us" I said.
"Attraction? To that mongrel!" Rose thought disgustedly.
"I wonder if her power can affect everyone…?" Jasper thought "She could be the most dangerous one of us if she learns how to better control her gift".
"Then is it a good idea to leave them alone?" Emmett asked.
"As long as Casanova doesn't try and pull anything it shouldn't happen" Rose said.
"She's right" I said, "Her mother raised her to have a very chaste view on life, if she was more outgoing and open-minded her powers may have activated sooner".
"Yes, so I and Carlisle were thinking we could all take a break and go visit Alaska" Esme said.
"And visit Tanya and the others to, Elizar might know more about this then I" Carlisle said.
"He might even be able to help confirm her ancestry" He thought.
"What about her ancestry?" I asked.
"Yes I was about to get to that" he said with a smile, "The other situation is her ancestry, look at this" he said opening the book on his desk and we all stepped forward to see the picture. "This was painted by a talented artist before I was even born" he said.
The picture was of Aro and his clan I recognized all of them except for one woman by Marcus.
"This is Didyme, Aro's sister and Marcus's deceased mate, take a very close look at her" he said pointing at her face.
"Oh my god it's Sara" Rose said shocked "I mean the hair is black and the face is more pointed, and the dimple on the chin but other than that…" she said.
"How is this possible?" I asked.
"Years ago during my stay with the Volturi I had heard of Didyme. She was turned by Marcus when she had reached adulthood, he wanted to see if she developed an ability like his. Her power wasn't like his, her power was an aura of love and happiness" he said.
"Like Sara's ability?" Bella asked.
"Yes and no, I think if she practiced she could bring happiness and joy like Didyme, not just obsession and fascination but we’ll worry about that later. Didyme according to the older members had a child before she was turned, she raised that child and his future offspring for many generations, but they were all said to have died during the great fire of Rome with Didyme herself." Carlisle said.
"We traced her lineage and found that her ancestors emigrated here from Italy many years ago" Esme said.
"So somehow one of her bloodline survived and passed down the centuries to Sara?" I asked.
"But that would make Sara Aro's great-great-great-great-great.....how many greats are we talking about here?" Emmett asked.
"A lot but basically yes she is related to Aro, hence our dilemma" Carisle said.
"If Aro learns of her and her power he would be hell bent on getting her" Alice said.
"Do you see anything?" Jasper asked but I knew already what she saw.
"It's hard because of her and Embry, but I do see a possibility of Aro finding out and your right, he would stop at nothing to get her. The things he would be able to do with her at his side" she shuddered and so did I.
"I think we can all agree that this needs to be kept quite" Jake said, "I’ve ordered my pack not to tell anyone about this, I think were all in agreement it would not be good for Sam's pack to learn of this" and we all nodded in agreement.
"I have contacted Tanya and told her we were planning a visit, I told her about Sara and her ability she has agreed to keep quite about it" Carlisle said.
"So it official then were going to Alaska" Esme said happily.
"Nessie will be thrilled this is her first time there" Bella said.
"You think Sara will be ok with this?" Rose asked.
"We'll wait a few days, then we'll tell her, by then she should be ready" Esme said.
Sara P.O.V
We lay on the bed just staring at each other, not saying a word. I was trying not to breath he smelled so bad. I couldn't do it was too weird, Embry said for wolves vampires smelled too sweet, well he smelled to woodsy, it was a worse version of wet dog. But despite the smell we just sat there looking into each other’s eyes.
"I can't wait for your eyes to turn gold" he said, "They will go great with your hair" he said playing with a lock of my golden hair.
It was weird how my hair looked, I had been a dirty blonde now my hair was a bright gold, and it seemed to glow when compared to my skin which was white as the moon.
"You look like Christmas" he said.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"The way you look now, it's like you stepped from a long lost Christmas story, and you look like an angel" he said.
I would have blushed if I could I had never been compared to a holiday before, "It's just the vampire stuff that makes me attractive" I said sadly, "You probably only think I’m pretty because of my thing" I said.
"I know the difference between natural love and vampire love" he said firmly, you wouldn't be this beautiful if you had been ugly before Sara, that’s' how vampire works it takes everything you were and magnifies it".
"Must be pretty strong then" I said bitterly "If it made me look this good".
He sighed "Sara, listen to me you were always beautiful. I mean you were already Cover girl material now you’re… your own magazine. I thought you were beautiful before you died" he said kissing me gently on the forehead.
I closed my eyes, I wanted to believe him but there was that voice in the back of my mind that said other wise. It was my mother’s voice, all the years of her telling me how ugly I was put that little voice there it was all I had left of her.
"What’s wrong?" Embry said seeing my sad expression.
"I miss my mother" I said.
"Why?" he said sounding astounded "She treated you like dirt, all she ever did was overwork you and beat you down" he said "Why? Why do you miss her after all the terrible things she did to you?"
We sat there for a few seconds in silence before I answered "Because she was my mother and I love her." and I wept.
He held me as I cried but there were no tears, there were no more tears. We would never have children Embry and me. He would never be able to take me to prom, he would never meet my parents. What did I have to offer him? How can such a man give me so much but expect so little from me?
"I'll always be there for you" he whispered kissing me gently "I'll always love you no matter what I swear I’ll love you even when I die".
I looked him in the eye's and I saw the sincerity and devotion in them "I love you Embry I always will" I said
Maybe it was naive to believe him but I did. I knew that in our own way we had just said our vows, we would be together for ever. I knew there would be hardships and trials to come. I have yet to here a story been a vampire and werewolf live happily and ever after but hey there's a first time for everything.
Author: Next chapter they go to Alaska. And the vamp that turned Sara rears his ugly head, and Sam's pack find out how close Embry and Sara have gotten
