The walk only took us about 15 minute in which time Paul and I got to know each other a little better. you know just the usual small talk: where you from? What's your hobbies? Any brothers or sister? Nothing ground breaking and so far Paul hadn't dragged me behind a tree to slit my throat so I wasn't complaining.

We approached a little white two story house with a wrap around porch decorated with various potted plants and hanging baskets. The shutters painted blue with a huge yard that faced into the woods. There were several trucks parked In the drive way as we made our way to the front door.

Paul made himself known with a rather loud yell that I can only describe as some kind of howl as we climbed the porch steps and he walked right inside. I on the other hand stood awkwardly outside the front door not wanting to just barge into someones home without some kind of invitation.

I could hear muffled voices of what I assumed were several different people before the door opened again and Paul came back out.

"You're not gonna get any dryer out here princess! Come inside we don't bite" He smirked leaning against the door frame. I moved to make my way inside but he put his hand on my shoulder before I could pass him.

"Umm quick warning, Emily, Sams fiancé try not to stare it'll piss him off" He whispered to me as he took both my shoulders in has grasp and lead me inside. Stepping into the warmth sent goosebumps all over my body and I was hit in the face by the smell off freshly baked muffins that made my mouth water.

As we made our way into the kitchen I looked over the faces of the people sitting around the table. Two men were sitting devouring muffins both looking up as we came into view. Paul told me they were his friends but they could easily be mistaken for his brothers. Both tan and muscular like Paul and as far I could tell -as they were both sitting- just as tall. Behind them facing away from us was a woman. She had raven black hair she seemed to be petite and around my height, she turned to us when she heard our footsteps.

I had to stop myself from gasping loudly as I took in the three large angry scars that tarnished her otherwise beautiful face. Remembering what Paul had said I quickly shot her a smile and averted my eyes looking down at my hands as I played with one of the buttons of my shirt.

"This is Ren, Ren this is Jared, Sam and Emily! She got herself lost in the woods and soaked in the rain. I felt sorry for her so I dragged her back here with me with the promise of some dry clothes, you couldn't help her out Em could you?" Paul spoke up sensing my awkwardness and pointing to each person in turn.

"Oh no no it's fine! I don't need a change a towel will be just fine!" I blurted out feeling even more like an intruder.

"Don't be silly sweetheart. You're soaked to the bone I'm sure I have something that you can borrow. Can't have you sitting in these you'll get sick" Emily said making her way over to me.

"Like Paul said I'm Emily. It's lovely to meet you do you need to call somebody to come get you once we dry you off?" She asked holding her hand out to me to shake

"I said I'd drive her. I'd much rather do it on a full stomach though, she can stay for dinner right em?" Paul asked once again clamping his hands down on my shoulders.

"Of course you can! But the others are running a little late. Come with me and we'll get you out of these wet clothes and hopefully they'll all be here when we get back" She took my hand and lead me further into the house. Up the stairs to a bedroom before opening her closet and rummaging around inside.

"Thank you Emily but I honestly don't want to be any trouble. I can just head home from here on my own, I can use my gps now that I have cell service" I said standing in the door way, feeling not only rude for just parading into her house a perfect stranger borrowing her clothes and eating her food, but also nervous of the fact she said there were more people coming. The last thing I need right now is to be gawked at by a room full of strangers like some kind of circus freak!

"It's not any trouble. Paul offered to take you, which means he must think you need the help getting there Paul is not normally that generous to anyone. And besides these boys all eat like the won't ever see food again so there's plenty to go around. God knows I'm not gonna pass up some female company it's a rare occurrence in this house" She laughed as she handed me a towel and a new outfit consisting of some black yoga pants and red sweater

"Bathroom is the door at the end. Take your time just leave your stuff in there I'll put it in the dryer before we eat. I'll be in the kitchen when you're done" She smiled before walking down the stairs.

Making my way to the bathroom i could feel my nervousness increasing. Not only was I going to have sit with all these people, but according to Emily they were all boys. Now normally being around guys doesn't affect me but imagine being in my situation right now I don't think it could get more embarrassing if I tried.

Pealing off my wet clothes and placing them on the lid of the hamper in the corner. Then drying myself off with the towel and pulling on the dry clothes. Only now realising this sweater must be Sams as it's practically a dress on me. I quickly pull my hair out of its bun and dry it as best I can before throwing it into two messy French braids to try to hide that it's now a frizzy disaster.

Taking a deep breath I reach for the door knob and head out the bathroom and down the stairs. With any luck I can just sit quietly in the background and not make an idiot of myself, or I'll stick to Paul like glue in the hope that he'll continue to be nice to me and save me from any potentially embarrassing situations.

"Well don't you look cute. Like a kid dressing up in there parents clothes, that sweater could fit five of you in it" Paul greeted me at the bottom of the stairs

"Shut up it's not my fault you're all some kind of giants! I mean what is that about are you guys on steroids? or is it something in the water here?" I joked as we reached the kitchen all three boys just laughed and shook their heads at me.

"Some of us just come from a more superior gene pool!"Jared smirked sending me a wink

"Yeah I can see that! Too bad you missed out on it" I quickly shot back, earning a laugh from Sam

"She's quick that'll serve you well round here Ren" Sam laughed his voice was deep and almost powerful like he had some kind of ability to make you listen to whatever he had to say.

I smiled over at him walking past him and over to Emily

"Can I help?" I asked looking around at the counter covered in various food items and utensils

"You can cut some lemons to go in the pitcher of lemonade if you don't mind" She said pointing to the fridge. Nodding I walked to it opening the door and grabbing the pitcher as I turned to close the door I heard someone yell though the house. The voice was deep and smooth it almost reminded me of Sams but probably a few years younger

"Hey Em sorry were late! Quil promised Claire he would go visit her as soon as he was done with patro..." As the voice got louder I turned to the door way as if I was being pulled towards it.

As I looked up at the beautiful man in front of me his sentences trailed off as he stared at me open mouthed I would have been self conscious if I wasn't doing the same to him. His deep brown eyes had some kind of hold on me, I couldn't look away if I wanted to. It was like we were the only two people on this planet. The goosebumps were back but for a whole other reason this time it was like my whole body was tingling. it was like he was looking into my soul. I suddenly felt like I knew him, like he was important to me, like I needed him!

He started to walk towards me still holding eye contact but it was quickly broken as Emily gasped. The loud clatter of the pan she was holding caused both of us to jump out of the weird trance we were caught in. Emily was looking between me and whatever his name is with her mouth agape.

Five more men rushed into the kitchen at the sound of the pan falling. Alll running to Emily before stopping to look at the three of us and suddenly all mirroring Emily's facial expression.

Okay someone has to explain to me what the hell is going on!
