The birds were singing. I didn't want to wake up yet. I dreamt that Embry and I had been lying in the grass and he had given me a purple flower again like he did at our first date. I held on to the dream so hard, trying not wake up.
"Kaley! Get up, it is actually sunny outside today" Mom's voice was yelling from downstairs.
"Damn it" There went my dream away. I blinked a few times, trying to refocus on my surroundings. I dragged myself to the bathroom and fixed myself up.
"Here's your breakfast." Mom put the plate onto the counter. I sat down and started to eat. I think the guys infected me somehow; I do eat a lot then necessarily these days.
"Thanks mom." I said with a mouthful of eggs and bacon.
"I will start working early this morning, and I was wondering if I could borrow your car? Because I lend out my car to Craig O'Donnell, because his wife kicked him out a-"
"Mom you don't need to explain, its fine by me. The keys are in the cabinet up on the wall beside the door" I laughed at her.
"Thank you cara mia" She said and went out the door on her way to work. I started eating again when my phone rang, I looked at the ID-caller and it was Nessie.
"Hey Nessie what's up?" I answered the phone.
"We're all going camping, and you're coming with us." She was so enthusiastic.
"Eh, don't I have a choice in that matter?" I asked her.
"Oh, don't you want to go." By the sound of her sad voice, she was probably pouting her lips too, only to joke around though. "Yeah I do but-"
"No butts, because you don't got one" She interrupted me, and joked around.
"That's so mean; my butt isn't that skinny is it?" I joked around a little back at her.
"Just so you know all of the girls will be sleeping in one tent and the boys in another one." She explained me. "And by the way the girls we will be picking you up to go to the store etc. I'm going hunting with my parents, so be ready by 5 pm"
"Sounds good, I can't wait." I told her enthusiastic.
The four girls picked me up at the time as I was finished packing. We bought everything we needed and the whole back seat was full, only half of it was food. I wouldn't be surprised if all the food would be gone in one take, and we girls would probably get only 1/3 of the food. We stepped out of the car with all of our hands full.
"This is going to take forever to load off the car" Kim said with four bags in her hands.
"Here I'll help" I said and took two bags from her. When we loaded off everything we needed from the car we started to cook food to take with us. The guys had already driven off to the camping to set up the tents.
"So" all the girls said in synch "So what?" I asked being curious.
"So, how are you and Embry doing?" Rachel finished.
"We're doing fine, why?" I told them. "Let's just finish this lasagna ok."
They agreed but they gave me the, we-will-talk-about-this-later look, but the lasagna would be enough of a distraction for now. After all of the food and talking about our favorites TV-shows scandals, we decided to take Kim`s car and drive down to the camping place.
"Here they are" The guys said and looked at us. Seth winked at me again, Embry of course took a notice of that and put Seth in to his right place again.
"I don't have any one else to flirt with, I want an imprint too" Seth mocked him, Embry slapped his own head, I had to laugh.
"Hi Embry" I said and hugged and kissed him.
"Urgh, Could you get anymore grosser?" Seth said and walked away.
"You wouldn't understand before you imprinted on someone yourself"" Embry shouted back at him.
The rest of the night went by looking at Jacob and Paul wrestle about who can chug down the rest of the remaining hot dogs, so I decided to go read for a while.
"I'm going to read for a while, I'll see you later." I whispered to Embry and kissed him.
I was in the tent trying to concentrate on the words when Embry walked in. "How about you take your glasses on "He said and sat down beside me.
"Which glasses?" I asked him.
"The glasses you hide in your bag, the glasses you use whenever you think no one looks at you." Embry said pulling out my black glasses out of the bag and put them on me.
"I don't use them because they're embarrassing. Since I was a little girl I`ve been teased and seen on as the nerd on my old school and I didn`t want that to happen here "I explained.
"Well I think the glasses make you look sexy and smart, so why should it matter what anyone else thinks." He told me.
"Yeah you're right" I kissed him.
"Hey guys I was supposed to tell you that – is there any where you guys don't kiss" Seth said covering his eyes. "I was just going to tell you that Paul won the match and that you need to come" He said and walked out of the tent. We laughed. When there was time to sleep we put up a few more extra tents so that we all could have our own tent to sleep with our imprints, literally just sleep and nothing else.
"I'm going to sleep in the tent with Jogia and Sauk" Seth said and walked in to one of the tents. Jogia and Sauk were the two new werewolves.
"Poor Seth he should imprint soon "I said sympathetically. "Don`t worry he`ll imprint on someone when the time is right" Embry said and kissed me again.
"Guys we have a problem, there's a vampire on the east side of La push, we have to go." Sam said "Embry, Paul and Jared you'll come with me" Sam commanded and they all ran to the forest and phased in to wolves.
I started biting my nails.
"Kaley calm down" Emily held around me.
"I will not calm down, it's been an hour already, and how can you all be so calm?" I asked them.
"Because none of us have heard a loud cry from them, they usually do if one of them gets hurt." Rachel said.
"Oh" I said and calmed a bit down.
"We caught the vampire" Sam said and came out of the forest. The rest of the three were in wolf form. I ran up to the grey wolf that was Embry.
"I'm so glad you're Ok" I said and had to stand on my toes to hug him around his head. This was the first time I've touched his wolf form. He licked my face.
"Ew" I said chuckling and wiped my face with my oversized green sweater. They all ran to the forest and came back in shorts.
"Now we can finally go to sleep" I told Embry and yawned.
"I agree" Rachel said and yawned also.
"Bedtime for the lady" Embry said and swiped me off my feet from the ground, and threw me in our sleeping bag and climbed in himself. I laughed.
"You're crazy" I told him
"Crazy suits me, don't you think" He kissed me and we fell asleep after a while.
I woke up with Embry beside me; I put my slippers on and went outside of the tent. Rachel, Paul, Emily and Sam were already awake, and were preparing some sandwiches for breakfast.
"Good morning everyone" I said yawning.
"Good morning Kaley" They said back to me and went back to preparing sandwiches, they probably needed a lot since Paul were sneaking a few bites in while he were preparing the sandwiches.
"Here is a chicken sandwich for you; I know it's your favorite one, Emily told me." Sam handed me one of the sandwiches.
"Thanks, how long have you been awake?" I asked them.
"An hour or so, but when you live with werewolves you get used to it." Emily said.
"Here's my girl" Embry said and held me around the waist from behind me; I leaned my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
"Mmm" was all I could respond back.
"Come with me, I have a place to show you." He whispered in my ear. He took my hand and led me away from the others, holding my eyes so I couldn't see anything. I saw the others smile like there was something he was up to before he shut his hands over my eyes.
"You would have to tell all of us girls about it later" Emily shouted at me as we were walking away, I just looked at her confused.
"Can I open my eyes now?" I asked him.
"Not yet, but soon just a few more steps" He told me.
"Ok, stop right here, and open your eyes" He explained
I opened my eyes, trying to focus on my surroundings. It was a meadow covered with white and purple flowers, even a few butterflies flying around.
"Wow, this place is amazing" I told him and laid down in the grass.
"Yeah it is, I found it a few days ago when I was running patrol" he explained and position himself down beside me.
"There's also a reason why I brought you up here" He said and looked at me. I sat back up and he did the same.
"Don't freak out ok, it's not what you think" He eyed me carefully. I was worried and confused, what was he going to say? He took my hand and I felt something round and hard in it. I opened my hand and saw a thin silver ring with a purple black diamond. I gasped.
"It's just a promise ring, that I will never leave you unless you want me too" He said "or we could be friends with benefits" he teased me and chuckled, but got serious and eyed me again.
"It's beautiful, and thank god that was all it was I thought you were going to tell me about a new species or something" I said and placed the ring on my ring finger.
"Yeah, I thought that our moms would probably freak out if we got engaged so that was all I could think of. That's not all by the way" He said and I was once again confused.
"I also want to give you this" He placed a silver bracelet with a wooden carved wolf hanging on the side of it on my hand.
"Billy helped me make the wolf." He explained
"You made it? It so pretty, thanks so much" I said and kissed him.
"We should get back" he said and took my hand, and twirled my ring once before we went back to the others.
