     Meeting my soulmate is something that I never thought would happen. I guess no one ever plans on meeting their soulmate but once you find them you better hold tight to them for the rest of your life. Losing them is one of the worse things you can feel in your life. Even if you don't realise it at the time. I watched my friend Bella go through that when her boyfriend, Edward, left her. She was a wreck for months. When he came back though it was like she was back to her old self as if nothing happened. That was the part that confused me the most. I don't understand how she could just act like it never happened. I know she has been wanting to see Jacob but Edward doesn't like her going to the reservation. I guess it's a thing between the Cullen's and the tribe. I don't know much but I know a few of the boys on the reservation including Jacob call them leeches. I think it's because the Cullen's are vampires. No one has told me yes or no but they do watch me carefully like they are waiting for me to say something to someone else. It's not like anyone would believe me anyway. I don't really understand why they would know about that anyway since I haven't said anything to anyone about my thoughts.
     I am sitting in the Bella's truck. I guess she has finally gotten Edward to agree to let her go to the reservation. She has been quiet the whole drive. I want to ask her what is going on but I'm not to sure I would be able to help her.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.
"Talk about what?" She asked.
"Whatever it is that is bothering you." I said. "If it's about Edward than I think I know."
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Come on Bella I'm not stupid. His family never eats and the boys we are about to go see all call them leeches. It's not rocket science to figure out they are vampires." I said.
"Why haven't you said anything?" She asked.
"I figured they wouldn't want me to." I said. "I just haven't figured out the boys yet."
"You can't tell anyone lyzzie." She said.
"I won't I promise." I said.
"Jacob's a werewolf." She said.
I looked over at her shocked. If he was a werewolf that means the other's have to be as well.
"No way." I said. "Are you being totally serious with me right now?"
"Yes. That's why Edward doesn't like me coming to the reservation. He say's they are dangerous." She said.
"Seriously. Those boys couldn't hurt a fly." I said.
"They could if they really wanted to. I've seen it." She said.
I looked over at her but I didn't push for an answer on that one. I'm sure that is something she wouldn't want to talk about. We pulled up to the parking lot of the beach. I hopped out right away.
"Slow down. Your going to get hurt." She said.
"I'm just excited to see the boys." I said.
Jared is like my best friend but Paul is the one I gravitate to. It's like there's a force that is pulling me toward him. I know tonight is the bon fire but I have never been allowed to come to one before. Jacob always told me that it was for tribe members only. I don't know what changed about letting me come but I am so excited to be able to hang out with the boys. Jacob told me they aren't talking about the legends tonight but maybe next time I come they might. I know the legends are a big secret but I can't wait to hear all about them.
     I walked with Bella onto the beach but she walks to slow. It takes forever when I go at her pace. I saw the boys up ahead and looked over at her.
"Go ahead." She said.
I smiled and took off running toward the guys. I saw Paul with his back toward me and I ran faster. I saw Jared looking at me but he wasn't saying a word to the boy in front of him. I jumped onto Pauls back and he had to take a few steps forward to keep from falling. He looked over his shoulder at me.
"Seriously." He said.
"What?" I asked. "It's not my fault you were the easiest one to jump on."
"Wow beautiful. I thought we were better than that." He said.
"Come on you Know Lyz. She would have done it to anyone given the chance." Jared said.
"No she would do it to me or you." Paul said.
"It's because we're the best." Jared said.
"Oh for sure. I couldn't live without the two of you." I said.
"Well one of us for sure." Jared said.
Paul reached over and punched him. I could tell by the way he said that it had a different meaning that I didn't know about yet but I plan on figuring it out.
"Hey. I'm just trying to help you out man." Jared said.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"It's nothing." Paul said.
I hopped off his back and walked around him so both boys could see me. I know whatever they are talking about has something to do with Bella telling me they are werewolves. Paul and I haven't kept secret's from eachother since we met and I don't want him to now.
"You know you guy's can tell me anything. It won't change the way I think you guys." I said.
"Sorry Lyz but Paul has to be the one to tell you." Jared said.
He walked away from the two of us. He knows I'm going to bother Paul about it until he tell me.
"Thanks for throwing me to the wolves man." Paul yelled.
I giggled at that statement now that Bella has told me. I looked over at Paul and waited for him to say something. He looked everywhere except for at me. I know when he does that, then he isn't going to tell me. I started to walk away but he grabbed my arm to stop me.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To find Bella." I said. "I thought we didn't keep secrets Paul."
"It's really not a secret you can know everything." He said.
"Then why won't you tell me?" I asked.
"I just don't know how." He said.
"Well when you figure it out you can come find me." I said.
He let his hand fall to his side and I walked off into the direction that Jared had walked off in. I only made it a few steps before I was pulled back into Pauls arms and I felt his lips on mine. I kissed him back right away. I love the way his lips fit with mine and how warm they are compared to mine. He pulled away from me and put his forehead against mine. I could hear his breathing.
"I'm a shapeshifter." He said. "I turn into a giant wolf."
I nodded my head to let him know I understood him. I leaned back so I could see his face more clearly.
"There's more than just that isn't there?" I asked.
"Wolves have this thing called imprinting." He said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Imprinting is like finding your other half. They become your whole world. You would do anything for them." He said.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"I imprinted on you." He said. "That first day you came with Bella. Jacob was so mad. He likes Bella way more than he should and it kind of put you off limits to the rest of us but we can't control who we imprint on."
"Why would that put me off limits to the rest of you?" I asked.
"We didn't want another person that is all about Bella. We thought that since you were her friend then you would be the same but your not." He said.
"Is that why I gravitate toward you all the time?" I asked.
"Yeah. It's the imprint bond trying to pull us together." He said.
"I think it's working." I said.
Paul laughed. I couldn't help but smile at hearing him laugh. There is just something about Paul that always makes me happy. I could never figure it out but now that I know about imprinting it all makes so much more sense.
"I guess I understand a lot more now." I said. "Wow what a day. Vampire and werewolves and now imprinting."
"You know about the Cullen's?" He asked.
"Of course. It's not hard to figure it out." I said. "It was only just confirmed by Bella on the way here though. I always thought it but I never said anything for anyone to confirm or deny my thoughts."
"Did you suspect us?" He asked.
"I knew there was something different about you guys but I hadn't figured it out yet." I said.
I could tell him that Bella already told me in the truck but I felt like that would be a bad thing to do at the moment. I know out of everyone Paul is the one with the bad temper and now that I know about them being wolves it probably isn't the best to do soemthing that is going to make him angry.
"What you said earlier is it still true?" He asked.
"What?" I asked.
"About not changing the way you think about us?" He asked.
"Of course it's true. This doesn't change anything." I said. "I know who you guys are. You would never do anything that would intentionally hurt another person."
"What about killing vampires?" He asked.
"You only do that to protect everyone else. I can't think terrible of you for protecting a bunch of people that you don't even know." I said.
"You are amazing." He said.
"We should head over to the others." I said.
He nodded and we started walking toward everyone else.
"Does this mean you are my boyfriend now?" I asked.
"I am whatever you want me to be." He said.
"Hmm. I don't know if I want you to be my boyfriend then." I said.
He looked over to me and I smiled so he knew I was kidding. He nudged me a little and I lightly hit his arm. I wouldlove for Paul and I to be this way forever. I know that things will change as we get older but right now this is my perfect piece of happily ever after and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Of course I never thought that I would meet my soulmate but I wouldn't change a thing about it. Who knew that my life was going to be filled with vampires and werewolves and that would be my happiness. I guess everyone has their own thing that makes them happy. I watched Paul step away from me and run toward Jared and tackle him. I laughed watching the two. The two of them were just like brother's even if they didn't want to admit it to anyone else. They were all a family the way they interact with each other. No one would ever be able to say they don't all love each other. I'm glad that I will be able to be apart of the little family they all seem to have with each other. We all get to be with each other for the rest of our forevers. That knowledge definitely can put someone in a fantastic mood no matter how sad that may be. I smiled and decided to join the guys. If this is my forever than I am more than happy to be a part of it. I don't know who decided this is what I needed for my life but I will forever be grateful that they decided this for me. I will never be happier with anyone else than I am with the guys right here on this beach.
