It's been a few weeks after my little 'incident' at Seth's school. Luckily for me word didn't get back to my dad. I guess the bullies were too scared to be messing around with the chief's daughter, and close friend to Billy Black and Harry Clearwater, the elders of the tribe.

Things have been looking better with Bella, now that she is hanging out with Jake more. Although, I can't help but feel scared for her, especially when Jake phases and has to stop speaking with my sister."So how is your sleep?"

"It's good, Bella hasn't had an episode in a hot minute, although, I'm pretty sure it's because she's hanging out with Jacob. She's going to be crushed when he turns."

"That's something they will deal with when it happens, right now let them have fun and enjoy their time. I'll be here for you always ok?"

"Thanks, Emily. I guess we better finish this food before the furballs arrive."

"Speaking of the devils." We giggled as the shirtless boys entered the room.

"What are you two laughing at?" Sam comes up and kisses his fiancè.

We looked at each other before replying simultaneously. "Nothing." Which only made us giggle some more.

"Hey Princess, miss me?"

"Nope." I smiled st him cheekily.

"So you two dating yet or what?"

"Yes?" "No?" Paul and I looked at each other before looking back at the group.

"No." "Yes." Everyone gave us confused looks, even Paul and I gave each other confused looks.

"It's complicated." We ended up saying simultaneously.

"Anyway, Emily, Soph meet the newest member of our pack."

"Embry!" I ran up to him and hugged him. He spun me around and laughed.

"Hey Soph I missed you."

"Aw I missed you too. So you finally joined Sam's cult, huh?"

"Hahaha yeah."

"When did you two get to know each other?" Paul spoke through his gritted teeth.

"Now, now Paulie, no need to bite. Embry and I are just friends."

"Yeah dude I know she's yours."

"Yeah especially after Jake's shed."

"And what you did at our school."

"What happened at Jake's shed?" "What happened at your school?"

"Nothing!" Everyone seemed to scream at the same time. Paul doesn't need to know what Embry said about him and Sam definitely doesn't need to know about the school 'incident'.

"Well it is a lovely day outside...."

"Yes it's perfect for cliff diving." I spoke up with an excited smile.

"When have you gone cliff diving?"

"Uh, my birthday."

"Oh, yeah with Jake, he said to me and Quil that you are one fine hot ass mama. He said your body was like a Victoria Secret Model."

"Aw he said that?"

"Yeah. Kinda hoping you were gonna be wearing that bikini at Jake's when you and your sister were there."

"I did look pretty hot in it didn't I?"

"Yes ma'am you did."

"You've seen her in a bikini?!"

"Jeez Paul stop getting so defensive, I was fine. You can see me in a bikini now if you guys are coming cliff diving."

"Alright we'll leave in a few."

"Cool, I'll just pop down to Jake's to get my spare set."

"I'm coming with you."

"Paul I don't need your constant protection."

"I'm coming."

"Fine, but your waiting outside while I change."

"Damn." Everyone stiffled laughed at Paul's dissapointed look.

After getting changed, we headed toward the cliffs.

We were all joking around together, pushing each other around like siblings on a good day.

We began to undress and although I have seen Paul shirtless hundreds of times, it still makes my heart flutter.

"Looking good, Sophie."

"Thanks Em."

"You really are a stunner."

"Your too kind Wolfie."

"Hahaha Wolfie?"

"Something wrong with my nickname Jared?"

"Yeah, something wrong with my nickname Jared?"

"Nope nothing."

"That's what I thought."

"Now, now. We here to fight or to fly boys."

Embry pushes Jared off the cliff, we laugh at Jared's girly scream as he goes down and creates a huge splash.

Paul and I looked at each other and smiled evilly. We mouthed together one to three before pushing Embry off of the cliff's edge, watching as he goes down.

I jump on Paul's back, as he steps back a few metres then starts running toward the edge, he jumps taking us both down. We scream in delight as we free fall, splashing into the nice cool water below.

We watch as Sam backflips off and reaches us in a mere few seconds. We all laugh and splash each other. We make our way toward the beach where Emily and Kim-Jared's girlfriend-await with a picnic.

They had prepared sandwiches and delicious fresh fruits. Today is a lovely day hanging out with friends. To say this day was a nice and relaxing one is an understatement.

I got home heading for a nice warm shower. After entering my bedroom I found Bella sitting on my bed with an annoyed expression.

"What the hell were you doing today, you could've died, and hanging out with-with that cult. Jacob said Paul is a complete hothead, you need to stop seeing him."

"Bella what are you talking about?"

"I saw you today jumping off the cliff with Paul, Embry, those people they aren't good for you Soph."

"How do you know what's good for me. You have been putting dad and I in complete hell. Being with those guys has been the most fun I have had since arriving here."

"So the Cullens meant nothing to you?"

"Bella that's not what I'm saying. The Cullen's left. You need to move on. Paul is nothing but nice to me, in fact we're dating. He isn't in a cult, so whatever Jacob said to you is a lie, because, you will soon see that he will join us to."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Bella get out of my room, I don't want to speak to you."

"No, as your older sister I need to protect you."

"I don't need protection!"

"Girls what is going on?"

"Nothing dad, Bella was just leaving."

"No, Sophie is dating Paul, from Sam Uley's cult."

"Paul Lahote?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

"Just be careful okay?"

"I will dad, I promise."

"So when do I get to meet him?"

"Dad really? Fine, how about when you go fishing with Harry? He can swing by and you can meet him before you go?"

"No, we'll be too busy and you think I don't know what you're trying to pull here. I'll meet him Friday after school, how bout that?"

"I'll speak to him, see when he finishes work."

"He's not in school?"

"No dad he graduated last year, he works with Sam as a mechanic."

"Okay, Bella come on leave your sister alone. We'll leave you to it, Soph."

Bella and I gave each other a look, before she and dad left my room. "So what's this about me being your boyfriend and having to meet your dad?"

I slowly turned embarrassment written on my face, as I'm now looking at Paul. "Uh, hi Paulie how's it going?"

"Nothing much I just found out I now have a super awesome girlfriend."

"I'm sorry, I just didn't know what else to say, and I couldn't let my sister talk about you guys like that."

"I mean I don't mind, you already know that I'm yours when you want me."

"That's the thing Paul, I do want you and I want to be yours. I just I don't know, I feel so attached to you and I can't explain it. Like I think I'm falling really deep for you, I'm just worried that you don't have the exact same feelings for me."

Paul walks up to me and brings me toward him with his hands on my hips.

"Soph, I'm in love with you, I get butterflies whenever I'm around you. I have to admit that there is this wolf thing, where you look at her in the eyes and everything around you stops moving, all you see is her, all you are is her. You are one. You're soulmates and she is yours to protect. To love. To cherish. That there is this pull that constantly pulls the two together, it hurts to be apart from each other, it's called an imprint. The feelings aren't aren't fake, or made up by this imprint, although they are simply enhanced, they make all flaws seem non-existent, irrelevant. The imprint encourages the two to only see the good in each other, to love that goodness which brings happiness in return. Your my imprint Sophie and I want you to be mine for real, I want you to be my girlfriend if you will take me to be yours in return."

"I'd love to be your girlfriend Paul."

Our lips crashed together creating sparks, we were both smiling mad.

I hugged him goodbye one last time before he jumped from my window, and ran off into the darkness.
