Kari Swan

Becoming part of the Pack

"Okat,then..." I trailed off. "So, your telling me I have to get a tattoo? No way. Np how." I stubbornly cross my arms across my chest. "I'm fourteen. No tatoo for me!"

"If you don't, I'll kiss you." Embry grinned.

I scowl,seeing I had no choice. "Fine. But, I swear, If I get hurt, you'll all be dead except for my father, and Jacob." Billy smiled.

the one that I had been growling at had been Embry, who had also, as I learned from Jake, Imprinted on me. Boy,this is one weird day. I held my breath as Billy- or should I call him Dad? Dad, it is. Dad was doing my tattoo. It stung, a lot. But, Me, being me, gathered what little dignity I had left, and didn't even wince.

"Officially part of the Pack!" Jake said, high fiving me.

"Now,was this hard?" Bella asked. I shook my head.

"I think she's lost all her dignity." Bella teased. Nope, I had Embry on my mind. "She's thinking hard about something. What is it? Or should I ask, WHO is it?" She teased, and I blushed. "Is it Embry?" Paul asked. I blushed even more.

"Guess we got our answer." Paul said. I buried my face in my hands.

"Guys, Leave her alone." I heard Embry's voice say. Grrrr.....

Why does my life have to be messed up? Why cant I just be normal?

'You never know who you are until you loose who you are.' The words were still on my mind.'Until you loose who you are?' That makes no sense whatsoever. Yet, here I am, Still thinking about them. I know who I am. Or Do I? I'M SO CONFUSED! Ugh!"Kari," Embry said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked, looking at the way the rain patterd on the ground. My favorite quote echoed In my mind.'Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.' Ha! I know what I'm going to do!
