Sweet creature, sweet creature

Wherever I go, you bring me home

Sweet creature, sweet creature

When I run out of road, you bring me home

Embry Call had been through his fair share of wild situations in his life. There was the time he, Jacob, and Quil decided to race their dirt bikes down the steepest hill in La Push. Embry, determined to impress some random girl watching nearby (totally not to impress Johara who was there with her friend Harper), attempted a flashy jump, only to lose control and crash into a muddy ditch. Covered head to toe in muck, he looked up to see the girl stifling her laughter, and Johara and Harper (along with his own friends) doubled over in hysterics. His mom refused to let him back into the house without hosing him down in the yard first in front of all the neighbours — don't worry, he was fully clothed, Tiffany wasn't that mean.

Then there was the fishing trip that turned into an unintended morning swim. Quil said he'd give Embry five dollars to rock the boat and scare Jacob — actually he said Embry would never do it and Embry challenged him to a bet (he may have a problem), winner gets five bucks. And he did it. But karma truly was a bitch that was trying to tell him to stop making bets with Quil because as soon as he rocked that boat, he lost his balance and toppled overboard, dragging Quil with him. The two emerged from the water sputtering and shivering while Jacob laughed his ass off. Turns out he'd captured the whole fiasco on his old camcorder — a video that still made rounds during the pack's bonfire nights.

Oh and how he wished to forget the infamous "wolf" howl incident but his friends would simply never let him live it down. Long before they'd all shifted, the trio of idiots had snuck out one night. They'd overheard Jo and Harper talking about how they'd had so much fun scaring a bunch of tourists that were camping out in the woods. So, one night they were bored and attempted to do the same to some local campers with their best wolf howls — it totally wasn't a competition but they'd thought they could do it better than Jo and Harper (as if). But Embry's overly enthusiastic (and honestly, pretty pathetic) howl didn't startle any campers — he sounded more like Dory imitating a whale than a wolf howling. Oh no, the only thing it startled was the skunk that was camouflaged in the bushes in front him — the unimpressed little creature then proceeded to turn tail, spray him and ran away. He spent the next week and a half trying to rid himself of the stench. Seriously, his mom made him bathe in tomato juice for three straight days (she'd seen it online somewhere) and still Jacob and Quil would make gagging noises every time he got within ten feet of them. And yet they found much amusement in telling that story to anyone who'd listen.

So, yes, Embry had found himself in some truly ridiculous predicaments, but nothing — absolutely nothing — could have prepared him for the collective hysteria of the pack when they found out who he'd imprinted on.
