Hush -Beautiful Twins Spinoff-

Chapter Six

Chapter Six

Sydney POV

It's been a couple of days since I have seen Leah. I can't get her out of my head and I just don't know why. I keep hearing her voice everywhere. When I close my eyes all I see are her beautiful features. What the hell is wrong with me? I've never been like this with anyone.

When we run patrol, and by the Cullen's border, I'm hoping I see Leah. I feel a terrible emptiness in the pit of my stomach every time I run past and never even catch her scent. She smells like raspberries and the scent of the woods after it rains. I love it so much.

I want to talk about this with someone, but I don't know who. I know all about the situation with Sam and Leah. If I talk to anyone in the pack, they might accidentally tell Sam. Who knows how he'll react. 

I think I heard something about imprinting. I think between Jared and his girlfriend. I don't know what it is though. Maybe it was why I'm thinking of Leah so much. Maybe it's like locking in on the first really attractive person and just always thinking about them. But it's not just being attracted to her. I like want to protect her. I want to hide her away from her problems and the evils of the world. I want to be the person she trusts most. I want to be everything she needs in this world, and it scares the hell outta me. I want her to depend on me, but I don't know if she could. I'm barely hanging on myself. I can barely take care of myself. I don't even know if I can trust myself to depend on myself. Maybe, just maybe she'll be the one to help me heal. This is just too confusing and complicated. I need answers.

I hopped up from my bed and headed out of the front door. I walked past my aunt and uncle while walking out the house. They barely spared me a glance. I just sighed and headed up the road. The closest wolf member was Embry. I walked to his house, trying to come up with a plausible lie. I had a pretty good one while I was knocking on his door. He looked tired when he answered the door.

"Oh, were you sleeping?" I asked, feeling guilty, "I can come back."

"No, no. It's fine. What's up?" He asked, standing at the door with his arms crossed.

"I just had some questions about werewolves and you're the closest person from the pack." I said, slightly rubbing my arm. I hope he wasn't too mad about me waking him up.

"Yeah, sure. Come in." He said and held the door open. I walked in and sat in a living room type area. It wasn't big but it was kind of cozy. "Sorry, it's kind of junky." He said throwing a dirty shirt toward a hallway area. "So, what did you want to know?"

"Okay, so I've pretty much understood everything so far." I started, "But there is one thing I've heard about and I don't really understand it. Imprinting."

"Oh, yeah it can be kind of confusing." Embry laughed, and  I nervously chuckled along. "Why so interested, if you don't mind me asking."

"Just heard about it was curious." I lied, but I could feel my heartbeat doubling. I hope he couldn't hear it.

"Oh, okay. Well it's something that happens to us and werewolves. When a shape-shifter imprints on a specific person, he becomes unconditionally bound to her for the rest of his life. When it happens, the experience is described as being gravitationally pulled toward that person while a glowing heat fills him; the connections of everything else become severed, or simply secondary, and only the imprintee is left to matter, leaving the shape-shifter with a deep need to do anything to please and protect the person." Embry explains. As he's explaining, I could feel my heart practically skipping. Leah filled my thoughts as I tried to process this.

"So when you imprint, you can only focus on that person?" I asked him. That explains a lot when it comes to Leah.

"Yeah. Imprinting occurs only after a wolf's first phasing. It can happen with anyone, regardless of previous personal feelings. It happens the first time he sees the human object of his imprinting; if the shape-shifter does not react to a human subject the first time he sees them after he phases, that means he will never imprint on that human." He explained. He kinda said it like he knew from experience.

"Have you imprinted?" I asked him. He shook his head slightly. He looked kind of sad about that fact.

"No, sadly. I can't wait till I do. Sam and Emily were imprinted, as well as Jared and Kim, Paul and Rachel, and Quil and Claire." Embry said with a sigh.

"Wait, what the hell? Claire is a child!" I said full of disgust. I know Quil is weird, but never expected him to be a pedophile.

"No! No! No, no!" Embry quickly said, "He only feels protective of her. Nothing like that. Kim would beat his ass, seeing as that is her baby cousin as anything but."

"Oh ok." I said.

"Jake also imprinted. On Becca. But he's too much of an asshole to accept it and is torturing both of them." Embry said in a bitter tone. I couldn't help but feel bad for Becca. She was being put in emotional pain because Jake wouldn't accept her. I just hope that doesn't happen with me.

"Embry, let's go." Paul said walking in the house. Both Embry and I stood up. He gave me a slight smile and followed Paul out the door. I followed both of them out. Embry, Quil, Paul, and Jared were all jogging into the forest. I think I'm going to go for a walk and try to clear my head. I ended up at the beach. I laid out on the sand and still all I could think of was Leah. I swear some of the stars spelled out her name.

It was completely frustrating. I don't even know if I'm a lesbian and here I am stressing over this girl. I mean, I never really focused on it. I was still too focused on my parents to try and discover my sexuality. Now that I think about it, I haven't been having nightmares. My mind was too focused on Leah that my thoughts of my parents were pushed to the back of my mind. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

A howl rolled through the air. I jumped up and ran to the woods. I phased without changing out of my clothes.

'Whats going on?' I asked.

'Jake and his stupid mutts tricked us.' Paul growled. 'Some of the Cullen's got past us.'

'We'll attack tonight.' Sam growled and phased out. Tonight? Leah is there and I'll be damned if she gets hurt because these stupid guys are having a pissing contest trying to see whose dick is bigger. They are gonna get someone killed doing this. I have to make sure it's not me, or Leah.
