Another Fish in the Sea (Embry Call)

Chapter 19

"He was a really good man, you would have liked him I think," Ursula was laying in the sun in a crop top and a pair of shorts, her flip flops having been kicked off hours ago.

"He was there for me no matter what and always stuck up for me. He made me feel welcome in such an unfamiliar place, he gave me a job. He taught me about land life.... he brought me fish sticks!" She sat up and stretched a bit,

"I bet your probably wondering about that boy you've seen me with huh?" No response.

Ursula shrugged, "Whatever, have it your way. I'm still going to tell you all about my boys" she paused for a minute, trying to think of the next thing to say, "not just my boys. I'll tell you all about my new family."

"I think I'll start with Paul, he's my best friend. When I first met him, he was really rude and mean to me. He made fun of me for not having very good English, and the fact that I was part fish. But then I beat him up and he realized I was a lot cooler than he thought originally." she laughed and glanced over to the who she was telling the story to. "Now we're best friends, the pack calls us the terror twins, on account of the fact that we finish each others sentences and can almost read each others minds. it's pretty cool if I say so myself. He's always there for me. Sometimes he knows what I need before Embry does...." She scoffed, "Shitty how the imprint bond can get in the way of a relationship sometimes huh?" She stood and stretched for a moment before resettling herself on the ground.

" Next are Sam and Emily. Emily reminds me a lot of Mother, with how caring and kind and considerate she is. Sam is really strict and stern, but he means well, honestly." She paused again and looked around for any lingering eyes or ears, "Between men and you? He's not supposed to be Alpha, Jake is, but that's a story for another time." She leaned back onto her hands for support, "Sam was really cold to me at first considering he didn't know if I was a threat or not, but now that he knows I'm not he's not a threat at all. He's an even bigger teddy bear than Paul or Seth even!" She laughed and looked back to who she was telling her stories to again. A look of disappointment flashed over he face before she hid it,

"Anyway, Jared's pretty cool, so is Quill. Jared tries to keep me and Paul in line but it usually doesn't work out very well and he winds up just playing referee, but that's fine. I think he actually likes it that way. Quill is pretty new so i don't know much about him honestly, but I'm really excited to get to know him!" She had a bright smile across her face and then she tilted her head back and hummed, trying to think. A silence enveloped the space before she snapped her head up and eyes wide open with a smile,

"I almost forgot about Seth and Leah! I got so excited to tell you about Embry that I almost didn't tell you about Harry's kids!!" She hit her forehead and muttered about being an idiot before continuing, " Seth is a giant teddy bear, they don't let him do much on account of him being a kid and all that, but he's getting pretty good at shifting and all of that. I spar with him a lot when no ones around" She glanced over and smiled, "Let's keep that between us though okay? I don't need Embry having a heart attack. Hmmmm, Leah is... well. Leah. Sam broke off their engagement because he imprinted on Emily who is actually Leah's cousin, crazy how that works huh? But Leah is still pretty salty about it." She got a wild grin on her face as she turned her head towards the person she's spent the last four hours with and counting, "Secret time? I had a vision that Leah is gonna imprint at some point, I'm really excited for her. I haven't told anyone except for you. So don't go blabbing okay?" She rolled her eyes and got resettled. "I bumped into her the other day, and got into a fight with her, I wound up following her to the woods and she was able to keep up with me for a while. But I still won." A smug smile overtook Ursula's face as she thought about her victory over Leah, "She's probably my second best friend now. It's kind of weird considering that we have such a different friendship. Ours mostly consists of fighting and watching scary movies and eating chocolate brownie ice cream."  

"Lastly, we have Embry... He's my imprint. I've loved him since I was eight years old, he's my everything. He's kind and sweet and gentle. But he can be firm and harsh when he needs to be! He's got the most beautiful eyes, and the softest hair. He's like.... hmm. He's like the warmth that you get when you come up just below the surface of the water and you can feel the suns heat surround you. That's what he makes me feel like. He was there for me when I needed him, but he gives me space when I need it too. He never gets jealous, and we talk about things right away. I know when he needs someone to talk to, someone to just listen to him, someone to be his ray of sunshine in the water, and I'm so happy that it's me." A smile graced her face as she talked about her imprint.

Checking the phone Harry had gotten for her she saw that it was starting to get late. She stood up and dusted off her shorts, before turning around and slipping her flip flops back on. She smiled down at the ground where flowers laid.

"Thanks for listening to me, I hope you're taking good care of Harry up there, and that you approve of my little land family, I wish you could have met them.... Actually... I wish I could have met you..."

Ursula turned away and started to walk away, and as she reached the edge of the grounds, she tucked her long hair behind her ear, and looked up to the sky and smiled,

"I love you dad."
