Sara P.O.V

A few days past since the little 'Incident' and there has been no further episodes sence. Embry and I have been taking it slow; we didn't want another repeat of Embry's attack. We kind of dated I guess (Blush) we would take walks through the woods holding hands, watch movies, he even made a little sketch of me. We kissed, but they were chaste and pecks on the cheek. Don't get me wrong I wanted to make out with him and get hot and heavy (can you blame me) but I would not risk hurting him. I was still a newborn, so I still had a problem with my strength I could squish his face if I wasn't careful.

I was feeling partially down because we were all planning on visiting some friends of the Cullen’s in Alaska. There’s a clan of vampires that only eat animals to. It was so weird, I have been talking to the others and I have learned so much, all the vampire covens out there: Egypt, Ireland, Italy, and all the nomads’ running around.

I was nervous about this visiting Alaska; I have never been out of Washington before. I wondered how many coats I should bring? Alaska is very cold.

"You won't be needing coats" Alice said looking at the clothes on sale, "We’re vampires’ cold doesn't affect us".

"Oh ya, right".

Alice and I were doing some last minute shopping before the trip. Well she was shopping I was just there for the testing.

"You'll like it there in Alaska, it's very quiet and very rural" Alice said, "And the views are simply breath taking" she said.

"Poor Jake too bad he can't go" I said sad that he couldn't go.

There were some problems going on with his pack and he needed to stay behind to deal with it. Nessie was so sad he wouldn't be able to come it was heart breaking.

"Maybe we can buy him something to make him feel better" I said brightly.

In the time I had spent with Embry he had introduced me to some members of his pack. I had spent time with them (Ignoring the smell) they were very polite and nice, even though I knew they thought I smelt bad.

"Sure he would like that" Alice said smiling.

I wasn't sure I should be in a store with all the people around. I wore a pair of sun glasses to hide my eyes. Jasper was with us and he was doing his cool mood thing. I still felt an intense desire for blood, even though I had hunted before I came back to town. Emmett and Rose were around somewhere, everyone else were back at home. It was weird to think of the Cullens place as my new home. When I thought of home I thought a run down two story house that was made from wood and dust. Now I have to replace that image with one of magnificence and splendor.

Another thing to get used to the money. I almost had a heart attack (if it still worked) when they gave me my own credit card, according to Alice the sky was the limit. I wasn't ready to buy anything to pricey, years of being poor gave me the instinct to save.

"So what are the Alaskan's like?" I asked.

"There like family, our cousins" Alice said looking at a pair of shoe's "There's Carmen, Eleazar, Garrett, and the sisters Kate and Tanya".

"Do they have any powers?"

"Kate, and Eleazar do, Kate can send an electric current through her body to shock others. And Eleazar can read what our powers are, he knows if we effect minds, or have a more physical power".

"So maybe he'll be able to help with my power?" I asked excited.

"Maybe" she said.

I was really starting to get excited maybe this would be a nice trip after all.

Embry P.O.V

The Cullens had there own private jet. They figured it would be better to use that then put poor Sara on a normal plane filled with humans. Jake came to see Nessie off she was still upset he couldn't come with. Jake was wearing a red shirt with a wolf howling at the moon, Sara got it for him and I was wearing a blue shirt with a picture of a would snarling at whoever looked at it. She had been nervous giving us our shirts she was afraid we might find them offensive.

Jake was hugging Nessie and promising to see her soon, and I was talking to Sara.

"So guess this is good bye" she said looking a little sad.

"For now" I said with a smile "This will be good for you, a new place to see and all that".

"I'm nervous though, what if they don't like me?" she asked.

"How can anyone not like you?" I said kissing her on the cheek.

"I will give you a call as soon as we get there" she said.

"No rush, enjoy yourself" I said.

We gave each other one last hug and they left for their terminal. Jake and I left riding in his rabbit back to La Push. It was quite and tense but only because Jake was upset about leaving Nessie and the fact we have to go visit Sam for a meeting. He wanted to know more about Sara and to discus other stupid things.

We arrived at Sam and Emily's and found Quil, Leah, and Nathan there. Nathan was one of the new wolves. He was 15, and very laid back. Of all the packs he had the easiest time controlling his anger, he was that calm. I had never seen him angry, but I knew it would take a lot to do it. He was Phillips cousin, they were like night and day, were Nathan was calm, and mature Phillip was rash and wild. His home life wasn't the best but compared to how most kids turn out I have to say he was pretty good. He was always pulling pranks and always getting into trouble, he was like Quill before he imprinted. He was also a pervert of epic levels; he had a crush on Leah and once spied on her taking a shower. She caught him in the act and beat the holy hell out of him, but that crazy bastard just laughed and said it was worth the pain. Yep he was definitely the little brother you always wanted.......to strangle.

No one asked Jake why he was in such a dark mood, everyone knew it was because of Nessie's leaving. Sam was in his living room, Jared and Paul were there and two other wolves. Paul was one of the reasons why I was glad to be out of Sam's pack. A while ago a new wolf to Sam's pack got tired of Paul's shit and he actually challenged him to a fight of dominance. The loser would have to be the winners lackey for all time, can you imagine it? Some crazy new punk challenging an experienced wolf to a fight for dominance?

Believe it or not the wolf won. I...Shit...You...Not! It was a very vicious and bloody fight from what I heard, but Paul got cocky and the wolf used that to his advantage. He beat Paul within an inch of his life, broke his leg, cracked his ribs, beat him so bad it took him longer even with his healing to recover. It did have the bonus of teaching him some patience. Sam had felt really guilty, he blamed himself for not stopping it sooner.

"Jacob" Sam said greeting us.

"Sam" Jake greeted back.

"I hear the Cullens have added a new member to their coven?" he asked seriously.

"They didn't bite her; she's a survivor of a vampire attack. Her mother was killed but she survived" Jake said.

"Great just what we needed another leech running around" one of Sam's wolves muttered and I let out a growl.

"Easy Embry" Jake said.

"Feeling protective of your lover?" she said wolf said with a sneer.

"Dan!" Sam said sharply.

We stood there in a stunned silence, how did they know about us already?

"One of your pack members was hanging out with a few of us, he let it slip about you and her being close...and of her unique talent" Dan said.

Shit they knew about her power.

"I think we need to talk" Sam said seriously.

Shit.

Sara P.O.V

I love the snow. Of all the seasons’ winter was my favorite. The snow was so beautiful, so pure, the trees covered in a fresh layer of snow in the morning, the sun sparkling off the white powdery substance like diamonds. Alaska was my kind of place; Emmett said I blended right in. It was true my skin was white enough to blend in; my now golden hair looked so brilliant compared to the white land.

We were still on the jet flying. Jasper was driving or flying it, he had a license to fly. The sun shone brightly through the windows; since we were the only ones on board we enjoyed the light as it made us sparkle. I was sitting besides the window lost in my own thoughts. I was missing Embry badly right now. I wished he could have come with us, but his mother doesn't know he is a wolf and he was still grounded for breaking curfew.

As I watched my moon light skin sparkle in the light I found myself thinking about my new life. I thought about my new family, Kind Carlisle, Sweet Esme, funny Emmett, beautiful Rose, eccentric Alice; cool Jasper, silent Edward, and caring Bella. I used to envy the Cullens; they were all beautiful and rich. Basecly everything I wanted to be, who had thought I would be there newest addition. I wondered what I brought to this family? With my mother (God rest her soul) I was the provider, the one who made sure everything went smoothly at home. But what could I possibly bring to this family?

Carisle and Esme were the mother and fathers, they ran the family well, and loved the family without fail. Alice and Edward could foreseen trouble before it happened, Jasper, Emmett, and Rose were protective of their family and were willing to do anything for them, and Bella and Nessie brought a love and tenderness to the family that made everything complete. So where do I fit in? What do I do for this family? How do I fit in?

Nessie P.O.V

I miss Jake. I was so looking forward to him coming with us, we would have all had such fun playing hide and seek in the snow. Mom and dad had been trying to cheer me up, having a telepathic dad made it easy for him to know what to say to cheer me up.

I was two years old but I looked like I was five, and despite my young age I was very smart. Smart enough to know about imprinting for one thing. Mom and dad had thought I wasn't old enough to understand but I quickly learned. I looked up the concepts of love and devotion then I begged Jake to tell me what it was until he caved (Men are suckers for tears).

I was also good at knowing people. Dad said I was like him when he was a kid, he had always been able to read what a person was thinking or feeling. Not telepathy or anything just talent and now he liked to boast I got it from him. I knew Sara was having some doubts about her place in this family. I liked her; she was a very sweet and caring girl. She was so beautiful; it was like Aunt Rose beautiful only her beauty was like the moon. You could stare at it all you want and it would never burn your eyes.

"Never let your Aunt hear you say that" Dad said leaning in to whisper in my ear smirking.

I smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'll be right back" I said getting out of my seat.

"Where are you going sweetie?" mom asked curiously.

"To talk to Aunt Sara" I said with a smile.

I walked over to her seat and sat down next to her. She was looking out the window lost in thought, the sunlight made her sparkle like it did with our kind.

"Hi Sara" I said.

She looked at me startled, she must have been really thinking deeply to not notice me.

"Oh hello Nessie" she said quietly.

"You nervous?”I asked quietly.

"A lot" she confessed.

"And you miss Mr. Embry right?" I asked curiously.

"Yes"

"I can help you not miss him" I said.

"How?" she asked confused.

"May I?" I asked raising a hand.

She nodded confused and I laid my hand on her head.

My gift to share memories has improved since I first started using it; I was able to replicate a memory so well all your senses would be affected. I showed her my first memory of him. Jake had brought over all the new members of his pack for my birthday. I was content with just having mom, dad and the others there. But Jake and Alice wanted a huge blow out, you only turn one once they had said.

There was lots of food naturally for the wolves; Jake was showing me around introducing me to his pack mates. The younger ones were excited to be at our house, it was a kind of rush to be with the enemies of La Push the cold ones. The older ones were a more cautious and a bit grumpier; they still had some bad blood with my family. He first introduced me to Quill and Embry; I had only seen them in wolf form before so I was excited to meet them.

They were tall and muscular just like Jake; their hair was cut short like everybody else. Jake held my hand as he introduced us. Quill was looking around uneasy he didn't like being here; Embry was looking calm and collected. Jake referred to him as having both feet on the ground.

"Hey Jake" Embry greeted.

"Jake" Quil greeted settling his gaze on Jake.

"Thanks for coming guys" Jake thanked them.

"How could we not free food" Quill said with a smirk.

"Hello" I greeted "I'm Nessie you’re Quil and Embry?" I asked.

"That’s us" Quil said looking a little awkward. I don't think he was comfortable around me.

Embry just smiled and extended his hand.

"Nice to meet you Nessie" he greeted warmly.

"You’re both best friends with Jake right?" I asked curiously "He talks about you all the time".

"Really?" Embry asked surprised, Quil looked a little startled too.

"Uh uh, he says how you are the best friends any guy could ever ask for" I smiled and they beamed at Jake. "He also say's if it wasn't for the fact you were his friends he would have skinned you years ago".

Now they glared at Jake, "Ok Nessie lets go meet the others" Jake said quickly.

"Mr. Quil you have a friend like me right?" I asked Quil.

"I do?" he asked confused.

"Yes Claire, Jake talks about her to, he says she's very sweet"

"Yes she is" Quil said proudly.

"Maybe one day me and her could play together?" I suggested.

Quil had a thoughtful look on his face, but when he saw my hopeful expression he smiled "Sure I think she would like that".

"Thank you Mr. Quil" I said hugging him.

"Heh heh, your welcome. And just call me Quil not Mr." he said.

I pulled my hand off her head and she looked amazed "Wow that’s amazing, I could smell all the food and all the people. It's like I was there you’re amazing Nessie".

I blushed "It's no big deal" I said shyly.

"No it's really great" she said taking my hand in hers "You can share your memories with other people, that’s an awesome gift. To share such happy memories is a blessing" she said.

"Thank you" I said giving her a smile.

"So have you met these people?"

"Oh yes they’re wonderful people, you'll love Tanya. And Kate and Garrett are like Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett" I said.

We talked for a while about random things. It was nice talking to her; do to my accelerated growth I can't make new friends yet so being able to have a normal discussion with someone new is really great.

Embry P.O.V

Damn, they knew about her power, I swear when I find out who was running their mouth! The atmosphere was tense to say the least, everyone had angry faces.

"It's true, me and her are...going out" I explained.

Dan snorted in disgust.

"Something funny Dan?" I asked putting extra emphasis on Dan.

"Oh nothing at all other than your whole pack are nothing but a bunch of traitors and an embarrassment" he spat.

I began to shake badly and crouched getting ready to wipe that smug look from his little face.

"EMBRY!" Jake shouted and I relented a little but still growled.

"Dan I swear if you keep antagonizing them there will be hell to pay" Sam said using hie Alpha voice.

I felt the power of that voice but was untouched by it, Sam wasn't my Alpha Jake was. That voice had no power against me. Dan however was effected, I was pleased to see his face tighten and his hands clench.

"Now we are concerned about this of course" Sam said.

"I fail to see what business of it is yours Sam" Jake said, "My wolves are free to date whomever they want".

"Don't try to be morally right about this Jake; she's a cold one, one of our enemies".

"Are they really our enemy Sam?" Jake asked.

"There was a time you would have relished at the thought of killing them all Jake" Sam said coolly.

"Things change" Jake replied just as coolly.

"Yes they do, once we were all brothers united. Now because of the Cullens we are broken" Jared said.

"It's not their fault" Leah defended.

"Of all the people I expected to defend those leeches you weren’t even on the list Leah" Sam said.

"I'm not their buddy, but I’m not going to place blame where there is none to place" she said.

"Cain has been a good influence on you Lee Lee, I am glad you found him" Sam said gently.

"Not that I particularly care what you think but thank you" Leah said.

Ah the miracles of imprinting, before she had imprinted Leah would have been ruder and violent but like Sam said Cain had done wonders for Leah. Seeing how aggressive his sister was it was obvious why he was so good at handling hot tempered women.

"Embry you need to end this now" Sam said seriously.

"Let me think....NO!" I said.

"This isn't natural" Sam said.

"Natural?! What about Jake and Nessie?" I demanded.

"There love is natural, he imprinted on her" Sam said, "But you haven’t and that is another reason she is not your imprint. What if you get to close to her huh?" he asked seriously "Do you really want to put her through that kind of pain? And what if she decides to get revenge? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" he said.

"Just like old times huh Leah?" Jared said dryly.

Leah flipped him the bird.

"Kiss my she-wolf ass the both of you" she said.

"Leah you of all people should understand the repercussions if he does imprint on another" Sam said seriously.

"Embry is a big boy he can make his own decisions. Besides that girl needs some lovin’ ". Everyone gave her weird looks. "I meaaaan the poor thing had to put up with that whore of a mother all her life then survives a leech attack? Com on Sam if Embry were to ditch her now it would crush her" Leah said.

"She's a vamp she doesn't have feelings" one of the other wolves spat.

I pounced on the wolf. I don't know why? Usually I’m the calmest and collected but the way they were talking about her like she was a soulless killing machine. She probably was a killing machine now but she wasn't soulless. Me and the wolf were rolling on the floor punching and biting, we were a second from phasing when suddenly

"ENOUGH!" two voices boomed.

I felt Sam's power again and the wolf stopped. I only stopped because they had screamed so loud, Jake would only use his voice in the most serious of situations which was practically never. And we both knew he probably never would even then.

We got up off the ground, our cuts and bruises healing quickly "Embry wait outside" Jake said.

"What" I demanded.

"You’re too emotional right now we’ll talk later" he said.

"Fine" I snapped quickly walking outside.

I needed this; I needed to get out before someone said something stupid.

"You alright?" a voice asked.

I turned and saw Nathan leaning against the door.

"No I’m not" I snapped "What are you doing out here anyway?" I demanded rudely.

Nathan didn't seem at all effected by my rudeness, like I said always calm like I should be "Nothing for me to do in there" he said casually, "I don't know the girl well enough to have an opinion and I wanted to make sure you were ok" he said.

"I'm sorry Nate" I apologized "I don't know what’s wrong with me I’m usually so calm" I said rubbing my head.

"Its fine" he said shrugging his shoulders "I got to tell you tho this will only add fuel to the fire tho" he said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well Jake said not to tell you" he said stretching his arms "But he didn't make it an order" he grinned.

"You haven't been phased long enough to know this but there are some in our pack who fear that the girl"

"Sara" I said.

"That Sara has put you under some kind of spell" he said.

"What?! That’s impossible" I said outraged.

"Embry we have seen your memories, we all know how powerful her gift is, many in the pack fear her, they’re afraid she'll make them imprint on her"

"She would never do that!" I defended.

"Maybe not on purpose, but her power is like imprinting, your need for her was so intense it was overwhelming" he said sitting down on the steps "Some think that even tho she is away you are still under her thrall"

"I'm not" I began.

"Then why are you so defensive of her?" he asked.

"What’s it to you?"

"A few things, is this temporary? Will you get better the longer you’re away from her? Is her power like a drug? What would happen if she used this on one of the wolves that imprinted? Your aggression to the others is only going to increase their fears that she can bewitch you forever" he said.

"Were not even sure how her power works" I said.

"Exactly even the Cullens don't know. You need to find out exactly what she can do and how it works"

"Why?"

"Because it's better to be safe than sorry and as you know the younger members of both packs like to hang out, and people especially kids like to talk. Everything they have learned from you they have relayed to their friends on Sam's pack and you know how delicate things have been lately"

"God this is complicated, I just want to protect her" I said walking in circles.

"Is that your desire? Or hers?" he asked.

"Mine" I said firmly "Even before the incident I wanted to be there for her. I know there’s a risk, but I don't need imprinting to tell me who I love. I will do everything in my power to protect her even if I imprint".

"Bold words, you know how powerful the drive is. Do you really think if you imprint she'll matter as much to you?" he asked.

"I don't have the answers Nathan I wish I did, but I’m more concerned about the here and now, I will worry about the future when it happens"

"Good luck Embry we both know this will be a hell of a scandal, but for what it's worth I hope it works out" he said with a smile.

"Thanks Nate" I said.

Suddenly Jake and Leah came storming out "We have a problem" Jake said.
