The Art Of Imprinting

Chapter 8

I was upset when Paul wasn't there but then again, he said he was going to be here tomorrow. 

"Lillian! I've missed you so much!" Daddy said, picking me up and hugging me when I first came into the house. "Why are you all wet?" My mommy said, coming into the living room. 

I explained what had happened and she was very angry that I had went into the woods. 

"Go upstairs, take a nice warm shower and then come down for dinner, alright?" I nodded and went upstairs to do as I was told. 

After dinner, I went up to my room to go to bed. I was really tired. I snuggled into my covers and pulled my Elmo doll that I've had forever, closer to me. I fell asleep.

Months passed and the redhead hasn't even shown her face yet. Paul come's over every day and when he does, he always hugs me close and kisses my forhead. I kiss his cheek, too. I like Paul alot and I think I have a crush on him. 

I have become very close friends with Jaycob, Allie, Cassie, and Haley. Nicole is still around, always worried and anxious. I see ghost everyday now but I have found a way to ignore them. I'm 12. My birthday was 6 months ago and it was very fun! Paul got matching heart lockets for the both of us. Mine had a picture of Paul. His had a picture of me. How he got it, I will never know. 

It was April now and we were currently on spring break. After spring break, I only had two months of school untill I become a 7th grader. I wish I wasn't so young, so I can be with Paul. The more time I spend with him, the more he becomes my rock. 

I slept in that day. It was raining and thundering, so we were going to go to the feild and play baseball. Well, I wasn't. Bella was coming and she was going to be the referee. 

When we got to the feils, I squealed when I saw Paul. "Pauly!" 

I ran over to him and hugged him. He hugged me back and I  pulled away, looking at everyone. Mommy, Daddy, and Carlisle on one team and Edward, Jasper, and Esme on another. Alice was a permanant pitcher. 

As the game progressed, I sat beside Paul, ignoring Nicole and her babbaling nonsense. 

Half way through the game, Alice got a weird face and I knew it was a vision. "Lillian, the redhead is on the way!" Nicole said in a rush, pacing in front of me. 

I jumped up, just as Alice yelled, "We've got company!" Everyone got close to me and Paul pulled me into his side. I hugged him, scared. "It's the redhead that killed Nicole!" I said quietly. Everyone heard, but no one said anything about it. 

"Bella, put down your hair." Bella took down her hair and Mommy curled up her nose. "I can smell her a mile away."

Everyone got stiff and three people walked into the clearing. Paul started to shake, and clutch me tighter. I gasped and tryed to breathe evenly. "Lillypad, it's alright. I'm here." Paul rubbed my back, pulling me into him, fully. I couldn't see the but I could feel the tension in the air.

I tried to pull away but Paul wouldn't budge. "Don't look, lillypad." I clutched him, tight and tried to listen to what was being said.

I didn't get to hear the first part of the convorsation, all I head was, "One game couldn't hurt." I started to have an asthma attack when I heard the reply, "Let's play." It was the redheads voice.

The wind blew and Bella's scent reached them. "Look's like you've brought a snack." I heard snarles and the redheads voice, "Two? My, my aren't we hungry. Care to share?" I heard mommy and daddy snarl, loud. Paul let out a loud snarl and started to shake.

"Their with us." Carlisle said. "Why is there a mutt here? Taking in strays now, too?" I heard the woman laugh and I shuddered, reliving Nicoles murder.

"I think you need to leave. Paul is family. Lillian, the child, is family. Bella, is family. They are with us. Please, leave." It was silent for a moment untill someone mumbled something, I didn't hear and then they left. Paul let me go and that's when I realized I was shaking, crying, and holding my breath.

I took my Inhaler from daddy and waited for the effects to be over with. I took in deep breaths as Paul rubbed my back. Edward snarled and then told everyone why he was still pissed. "James, he's a tracker. He know's that Bella and Lillian are going to be a challenge and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He wants to track them down and then kill them."

"Hell no, they won't." Paul shouted angrily. "I'll tell the pack." The pack had more people in it. It consists of Paul, Sam, Jared, Leah, Seth, Embry, Quil, and Jacob.

"Let's go." Daddy said, picking me up on his back. "Lillypad, I'll see you later, I'm going to talk to the pack. Be safe." Paul kissed my forhead and then we were off to the house.

Edward left with Bella, Alice, Esme, and Carlisle while Mommy and Daddy stayed in the house with me. Paul, Jacob, Quil, and Embry was going to come over. I wasn't allowed to leave the livingroom, since the whole house had glass everywhere.

It was late at night, and the pack still hadn't shown up. "Lillian, you need to stop worrying about Paul and go to sleep. You need some rest, baby." Daddy said. I was curled up in his arms like a baby, holding onto him. "I can't." I said.

He sighed and we sat in silence for a couple more house. I was tired but I couldn't go to sleep. The door opened and In came Paul, Jacob, Quil, and Embry. "Lillypad, why are you up so early?" Paul said. I was to tired to stay anything. Instead, I yawned and opened my arms as if saying "Pick me up" He grinned and sat on the other side of the couch, pulling me into a laying position. I was basically laying ontop of him. I didn't mind.

I yawned and heard daddy say, "She hasn't been able to go to sleep." looked a him and he scolded me. "I'm here to protect you. Nothing is going to harm you, so go to sleep, alright?" I didn't say anything, instead I laid my head against his chest and fell asleep within minutes.
