Hello friends! Two months later and I finally update, sorry! Just a little author's note~ As I do not have a beta reader, there are some details that I may not fully explain or plot lines I may forget… So, if anyone notices any, please feel free to let me know and I'll be sure to clear things up for you!

"Paul, you need to tell Sam." I shook my head again. Embry swore at me under his breath, leaving the room again to probably go check on Harry. I hadn't spoken to Harry since I hung up the phone on Quil. Harry asked too many questions. His worrying was making me more worried. If I was worried, I wouldn't be able to think. I needed to think.

I would have told Sam, except halfway to his place I remembered how stressed out he was. Sam had enough to deal with already, Embry and I could deal with this on our own. Probably.

"Paul?" Harry was standing in the doorway. His eyes were red and his voice was still shaking. He was just a kid. How could I have dragged him into this? How could I have left them alone? She would have been safer if I had just left her alone from the very beginning. I should have left her alone. I had so many chances to let her forget about me. So many…

"Paul?" I turned to face Harry again. "We have to go look for her." I shook my head immediately. No way.

"You're staying here." I got up, pushing past Harry into the living room. I could hear him following me, stumbling.

"No. No!" He grabbed my arm. His voice was shaking again, but he looked determined, angry. "She's my sister, she's the only family I have. And this is just as much my fault as it is yours. I said I would protect her." He let go. "I had one job, I'm not going to let you keep me from doing it."

Shit. How was I going to get him to stay here? Harry was a tough kid, but he wasn't vampire hunting tough. There was no way I was going to lose him too.

"You know what." I sighed as Embry approached us. "Harry can stay with me. We'll talk to Sam since you don't want to." I opened my mouth to protest, but Embry beat me to it. "You go do whatever, but if I don't hear anything from you in half an hour, I'm calling Sam." I nodded. This was probably the best deal I could cut with them. And I still got half an hour to find her on my own.

"Fine. I'll update you when I can." I sighed at Kelly's little brother. "You're going to have to tell him what's going on." Embry nodded before turning to Harry. I headed for the front door.

"Hey!" I stopped to let Embry catch up. "Don't do anything stupid. You're not the only one that cares about her safety."

"I know." And I did know that, which was why I had to get her back. For them. I was too dangerous. If Embry hadn't already imprinted, I would have let them be together. I wish I still had that option… He was safer. He wouldn't have let anything happen to her.

I decided to run to where Quil said her car was. We had told him that she wandered off like that all the time. It was the memory thing. Luckily, he believed us.

Quil must have pulled the car over after our phone call. He'd left her phone and keys under the driver's seat.

I sat there for a while, trying to focus on picking up her scent, but I just ended up getting mad.

I'd been in this car so many times. So. Many. It always smelled like her. It smelled like home. Now it smelled like nothing. It wasn't even like someone had cleaned it. All smells were just absent. Quil was right, it was weird.

I got out of the car, slamming the door behind me. There had to be another way to find her. Her car was in the middle of nowhere. If anyone saw her, they would be long gone by now. Where was Kelly even trying to go?

"Hey! You're Paul, right?" I started to walk away. I didn't have time for autographs. This whole "Protectors" thing needed to die. Now. How had this kid even found me all the way out here?

"Wait up!" He ran up beside me, sticking his hands in his pockets. He smiled. "Sam said none of the veterans would be out tonight. He said we weren't going to get you meet you guys until our first patrol was over."

I sighed. Great, one of the newbies.

"Shouldn't you be patrolling then?" He stopped. I reluctantly stopped too. I really didn't have time for this.

"Hey Paul, can I ask you a question?" I sighed again. Embry was probably calling Sam by now…

"How do you know if you imprinted? Like there's this…person and I've never met them, but whenever someone talks about them, I get all…" His voice trailed off.

"Look kid." I put a hand on his shoulder, turning him back towards the trees. "You'll know when you imprint. It'll be a feeling you've never felt before, but a good feeling. And when you see her for the first time…" That was it. If this bond was so strong, shouldn't I be able to follow that feeling? God, I was turning into a sap, but this idea was the only thing I'd come up with.

"That's the thing Paul, she isn't really-"

"Look kid I have to go." I frowned at his distraught expression, this imprint thing was really bothering him. "After I solve my thing, I'll come back and help you solve yours. Just phase back…" His face fell when I said that. No wonder he wasn't on patrol; he was hiding something. "Hey, if you focus on listening to what someone else is thinking, they'll just hear their own thoughts repeated back to them. Yours will be safe." He smiled.

"Thanks Paul. You're not as bad as everyone said, you know?" I frowned, but he'd already run off.

Paul. Embry was in my head the second I phased. He was mad. It'd been 45 minutes, but he hadn't called Sam.

Ten more minutes. Just let me see if this will work. Embry was going through my plan. He wasn't convinced it would work. Just let me try. Embry was pretty pissed, but he'd already decided to let me try.

Ten minutes. I expected Embry's thoughts to fade, but he stayed. He wanted to see what would happen.

This was dumb. There was no way this work. How was I supposed to follow a feeling? I couldn't do this.

Embry started thinking about Rachel though. No, not about her, but the way he felt when he was with her. And then we were both travelling through Forks, via his thoughts.

Then there she was. On her couch, nodding off in front of a flickering television.

It worked. Embry was shocked. I was shocked. How strong was this bond really? Maybe it wouldn't be as easy as I thought to leave Kelly…

Wait, to do what? Paul? I ignored him and started to copy what he'd done. Embry was still questioning me when my thoughts started to travel, following an invisible trail hopefully towards Kelly.

Except it wasn't her that was waiting. It was someone who looked eerily similar to her.

Yeah, if Kelly ever became a blood sucker. I ignored Embry's thought.

The vampire was walking around an empty room. It almost looked like the abandoned warehouse Jared and I used to mess around in before we started phasing.

Why would I end up here? Unless…

I knew it. I knew some blood suck got her. Damn it Kelly! The vampire stopped, almost as if she could hear me.

What the… Both Embry and I started to back away, even though we weren't physically with her…

She turned around and seemed to be walking towards us.

Nah, dude that's impossible. She can't-

She'd turned around again, responding to something making a noise behind her.

"Ssh, Neala, sweetie. You need to save your strength. I can't have you dying on me." She turned her head again and looked directly at me. "Besides, it looks like the little wolves have found us. We're going to have to leave soon. It isn't safe for us here."

And then I was back in La Push.

I lost her. I tried to forge out again, but just like with her car, there was no trace of Kelly. It was like she'd been erased.

That's impossible? Embry sounded just as confused as I felt, but there was nothing. That vamp that had Kelly somehow erased a spiritual trail. That's impossible. Embry repeated.

I have to go. I ran off and Embry followed me.

Go where Paul? You don't know where she is, you don't know-

Yes I do. You need to call Kelly's dad. Tell him we found what he's been looking for.
