IMPRINTED

1

The story takes place after MAX and after Eclipse but before Breaking Dawn

Max's POV

We were flying over Washington. Today is a pretty clear day. Cold. But clear. Last night we were bombarded by rain. We had camped out in a tree until it stopped raining, but little did we know that would not stop raining until six o-clock in the morning so we just spent the night there. Why are we in Washington State you ask? Because the Voice pissed me off by telling me that I was going to go to...well I don't know where it told me I WAS going to go, so I turned the flock around and headed to another direction, that was four days ago. Now we are in Washington, flying over some beach. The best thing is that I haven't heard anything from the Voice yet. My mind is my own...

"Max! Can we please, please go to the beach?" I heard Angel yell above the wind. I was not in the mood to fight, plus this is a loosing battle if I look over my shoulder. The eyes would have got me.

"Yeah. We can go." We started our decent. When we landed on the beach, Gazzy, Angel and Nudge ran to the water. They wanted to swim but it was too cold so they wouldn't be swimming for long, meaning we would be back in the air in no time. I sat on a piece of drift wood while Iggy felt shells and Fang watched Gazzy, Angel and Nudge for trouble.

I just looked around, it was kinda nice here. Peaceful. I laughed, my family, peaceful, not for long I thought. I was right.

Jacob's POV

I was running the perimeter when I heard the laughing of kids.

There is some people at the beach. I told the pack.

Go check it out. Sam replied.

I ran to the edge of the woods where the woods met the beach. There was six of children. A blond haired little girl was in the water with a boy that looked like her brother because they had the same hair and the same eyes, there was another girl in the water, she had brown eyes and dark hair. Watching them was a boy, he had olive skin and dark eyes and hair, near him was a boy picking up shells he had strawberry blond hair, not like the younger boy and girl, lastly there was a girl. She had blond hair and chocolate eyes. She was beautiful. She held herself like a leader, she looked strong, both mentally and physically. I couldn't help but love her immediately.

Had I just imprinted? I had to because I wanted to go to her. I walked forward, and CRACK! I stepped right on a tree limb, her head snapped around, just like everyone with her. She couldn't see me through the woods but she looked right at me. The weird thing is they all got in a fighting stance.

Jake, dude, I think you just imprinted! Seth yelled in my head.

Yeah, Jake you imprinted. Embry said, along with many "yeah"'s and "about time"'s.

Jacob, you might want to come back, for awhile anyway. Sam said, well it was more of a order. I turned around and ran away, with every step it hurt to be away from her. We know nothing about her. From what I see, she may be dangerous.

Max's POV

We all heard the tree limb crack in half, that was a tale tail of "something is about to attack you". We all stood ready to fight for awhile, when I finally decided that it was fine for us to move around we got our things together and made a plan. We decided, because the little kids were wet and I did not want them getting sick, that we would go to a hotel. When we got there, Angel and Nudge's teeth were chattering and Gazzy was to but he was holding back. We got two rooms, one for the girls and one for the boys. We split up to get a shower, Gazzy was first in the boys room and Angel was first in the girls room, Nudge sat waiting for Angel to get out with a Towel wrapped around her to keep warm. When everyone had had there shower I grabbed up all the clothes and took them down to the laundry room so that they could get washed.
