Just Imagine

“Who’s Erin?” Asked a boy named, Embry Call as he, Quil Ateara, and a Jacob Black walked inside and sat around a dark wood table with Sam Uley and Emily Young near the head of the table holding hands.

Not moments ago they had been outside talking, joking and playing around. Till they walked in hearing Emily saying the name Erin, and watching as her face fell into a frown and her eyes filled with un-shed tears.

Sam looked over at the boys as they sat down and said, “Erin is Emily’s niece and she’s…having some uh, problems.”

Emily let go of her tears and let out a small sob.

“I can-can’t believe she-she” Emily sobbed harder. “And I never knew! They never told her or me!”

Sam gave Emily’s hand a squeeze as the werewolf boys looked on totally confused.

........................................................................................................

Erin's finger tips brushed lightly over the scar that started a little over her eyebrow, going through eye and ending a little under little higher then normal cheek bones, before she let her clump of dark ginger red bangs hang in front of her left scared eye. Her black headphones that hooked around the back of her neck were blasting NSYNC’s Dirty Pop as she closed her right silver/blue eye and leaned back on the plains chair her thumb stroking her black and gray Japanese weasel (Whom she named Itachi) and thought back to the talk she had with a man named Kevin, who had been her parents best friend.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Well, You already looked over the will, got everything set? You’re all packed?”

Erin nodded as she shucked on her gobstopper and remembered the list of things her parents had left her.

“Good, and the moneys moved?”

Again she nodded.

Kevin placed a hand on the 5’9 girls shoulder before pulling her into a tight hug.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Erin opened her eyes as she heard the captions voice telling them to shut off all electronics over Yellowcards, Breathing that was ending played through her headphones.

Erin’s plane landed and she grabbed her carry on, which was a camo green messenger bag that held her red dell laptop, sketchbook, a couple books and a couple packs of gobstoppers and chocolate pocky.

She walked off the plane her black and white tripp pants making a swish sound and her black flip-flops (no toe thong) made a soft slapping sound like many flip-flops. Many people stared at her, as she passed not because of her black t-shirt that said ‘This may look like me, but it’s really my evil twin’, her white and black striped fingerless gloves, or Itachi (Her weasel) but because of her looks.

Although girls like her would normally be able to walk through the airport with no one giving them a second glance people just seemed to have a need to look at her, as her hair placed in a low pony tail swung slightly and her necklaces (one was a gold claddagh necklace and the other was Itachi's (from the anime Naruto) necklace bought off the internet) made a soft clicking noise as the chains of the necklace hit each other.
...............................................................................................................

Emily Young bit her bottom lip nervously as she stood on her tiptoes trying to look over the heads of the surrounding people to find her niece.

Not a moment later Emily let out a little squeal as she saw her niece, sucking on a gobstopper, hands stuffed into her pockets, bag thumping lightly on her hip, and headphones around her neck. Emily ran forward to her dark ginger red haired niece and pulled her into a hug (Although Emily was shorter).

“Hey, Aunt Em.” Said Erin a smile so small that it looked like a smirk played on her lips, though Emily could see she was really glad to see her by looking into her niece’s silver/blue right eye. Emily smiled and led her over to Sam who had been watching a little ways away.

Sam could see the way Emily held onto her niece’s hand and the way her eyes sparkled happily that he would have to get past Erin’s…problem and get along with her.

“E, This is Sam Uley.” Said Emily as she and Erin stood next to him.

“So this is the famous Sam I’ve ‘eard so much about, yeah?” Said Erin gazing at Sam with a cold eye and leaning most of her weight on her right leg.

After a long moment Erin gave Sam another smile/smirk and nodded to Emily.

“All right. He seems fine to me.”

Emily beamed, grabbed her niece’s hand once more and led her to the car (after letting Erin grab a duffle bag and rolling suitcase) as Sam grabbed the rest of Erin’s suitcases.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Why are we all just sitting here anyway?” Asked a grumpy Paul as he Jacob, Embry, Quil, Jared and Leah sat around Emily’s living room.

“We are waiting for Emily’s niece to get here. You know that.” Said Leah a scowl placed on her face.

Before any of them could say anything else Sam walked through the door carrying two suitcases. Emily walked in a second later smiling happily followed by a blank faced 5’9 teenager. She stopped next to Emily in the living room and looked around when her eye meet Jacobs, Jacob froze.

Jacob’s head was filled with thoughts and wants instantly. She smelled sweet not like the Cullen’s or any other bloodsuckers it was just sweet and sharp. The smell of the beach was also wafting around her. He wanted to push the clump of bangs hanging in front of her left eye back and gaze into both her silver/blue eyes. He wanted to hold her and keep her safe.

‘Bella.’ The part of his still broken hearted mind whispered, but it was different. Although Jacob loved Bella it hadn’t been this strong…had it? He couldn’t remember.

“Everyone” Said Emily the same smile still in place. “This is my niece Erin!”

‘Erin’ Jacob really like that name ‘Erin’.

“Erin. This is Paul, Embry, Quil, Jared, Jacob and Leah.” Said Emily pointing to each person in turn.

Erin nodded her head “Nice ta meet ya’ll.” She said her accent coming through thick.
Jacob mentally sighed; her voice was smooth and slightly lower then the high pitch girls always seemed to have. More wants flooded Jacobs mind. He wanted to hear her laugh (He bet it was a wonderful sound) He wanted to see her smile and his desire to hold her became stronger, but knowing that it would look odd if he just walked up to her a held onto her, he clenched his fist and tensed slightly. Sam saw Jacob tense and had a feeling her knew what had happened.

“Why don’t you show Erin her room, Emily?” He asked his Imprint.

Emily nodded grabbed one of Erin’s suitcases as Erin grabbed her duffle bag swung it over her shoulder and grabbed two guitar cases that Sam had been holding earlier.
As Erin left Jacob tensed even more finally able to understand what had happened.

That he had imprinted.
........................................................................................................................

It had been almost a week since Erin moved in and Jacob imprinted on her. Jacob had been trying his hardest to act normal around her so he wouldn’t scare her. He learned that she played the guitar, loved to sing (but would rather sing alone then in front of people so Jacob had yet to hear her sing, though he wanted to) she loved to bake more then cook but could do both and make food just as good ‘If not better’ then Emily thought Jacob thinking back to the brownies she had made for desert the day before. He also learned that her full name was Erin Keely Jashin. Not only that but as found out that the black and gray weasle that was always with Erin was named Itachi and that she had him for a long time. And there was the fact that Itachi didn't seem to like any of the pack members, growling or hissing (In a weasle way) when they got to close to Erin.

Though still Jacob fought with himself. He knew he couldn’t just ignore an imprint but he didn’t want to believe that Erin was that great. Half of him wanted to hold her and keep her safe. The other half although had a small urge to keep her safe still said Bella was better and that he stilled loved her, to which the first half would say she was a bloodsucker now and the inner fight would continue.

Erin still hadn’t meet the whole pack but in turn no one but Emily, Sam and of course Erin knew what her ‘problems’ had been. She didn’t smoke or drink, Jacob knew that. She had told him she loved pranks but hardly played them. He had also learned that she loved to sketch, paint both wooden objects and with oils. However it was today that played out differently. It started out normally with Emily and Erin cooking breakfast and Jacob, Embry and Quil (Who were doing patrol that morning) eating their food like vacuums.

“Ya know it’s odd.” Said Erin as she finished her breakfast only second after the boys.

“What’s odd?” Asked Emily

“I’ve never seen someone eat faster then me, besides my father and ya know those eating champions but ‘ere I sit and these three eat like starvin’ hogs or something. But then again ya’ll are taller then the people I’m used to seein’ too.” She said putting a hand to her chin.

“What do you mean?” Asked Quil as he stuffed another piece of bacon in his mouth.
“Well, back ‘ome I was taller then most of the boys and in my family I ate the fastest…don’t know why, maybe cause I’m used to that it’s just odd to see someone taller and such.” She said nodding her head a little after she was done.
...............................................................................................................

“Oh!” Said Emily making Erin turn to her as she washed the dishes and Emily put them away. “Tonight there’s a small bonfire. You can meet the rest of Jacob and Sam’s friends!” She said turning to look at Erin with a smile crossing her face.

“I don’ really know…”

“It’s next to the beach.” Said Emily in a singsong voice.

Erin bit her lip then sighed. “All righ’. I’ll go.”

“Yay! Oh! And bring your guitar!”

“Oi! Nani!? Aunt Em, Why? Where are ya goin? Come back!”
......................................................................................................................

Erin stepped out of the house with Emily and Sam just as the sun was about to set and started to walk to the beach. Erin had been roped into bring her black acoustic guitar that had been rubbed with some sand paper by her father to make it look like it was slightly worn.

Erin changed into her outfit and Itachi wrapped around her neck, his head resting on her right shoulder and his tail hanging limply over her left (His body curled around the back of her neck).

By the time they reached the beach it was dark out and Erin’s heart was pounding for a couple of reasons.

1} She loved the dark, she found comfort in it, unlike others.

2} She knew her Aunt would make her sing a least one song during the fire.

3} She was near the beach again. It was like being at home.

“Hey Emily! Hey Sam! Hey E!” Said Quil as the three got to the bonfire site. Quil and Embry had started calling Erin ‘E’ after hearing Emily call her that. Even Sam seemed to loosen up around her. Only Jacob called her Erin (But she didn’t really mind) and still seemed a little tense around her.

“Hey, Quil. Embry. Jacob.” Said Erin as she was grabbed by Quil who pulled her over to a thick log that Jacob and Embry sat on.
...............................................................................................................

After the fire had started up and the food had been served (and quickly eaten) Emily walked over to Erin and gave her, her guitar.

“Aunt Em.” Started Erin.

“You already know that you have no choice now, Sing!”

Erin sighed as Emily told everyone to quiet down and listen to Erin.

Erin thought for a moment while she got comfy with the guitar. She grabbed a silver pick out of her pocket and started to sing as everyone watched.

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you.
Now I'm, wondering why, I've kept this bottled inside,

So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...
Never gonna be alone!

From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't you fall...
Never gonna be alone!
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

Jacob’s eyes went wide as he listened to Erin sing. Her pitch was a little off because a man usually sang it but she sand the song with such… passion? Feeling? That Jacob felt like she was singing to him.

And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands,
'Coz forever I believe that there's nothing I could need but you,
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

Never gonna be alone!

From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

Emily gave a small smile as she listened to her niece sing the song her brother-an-law would sing to her sister. She leaned into Sam’s shoulder and closed her eyes letting her nieces voice flow around her.

Ooooh!

You've gotta live every single day,
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away,
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun.
Every single day,
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes...

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

Never gonna be alone!

From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.

When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,

I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day,
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day.
