??? ??? ????? || Twilight

Emily had nearly sobbed when Riley returned with the boys, crying out as she spotted the girl safe, she had dropped the taser quickly before dragging the girl into her arms. Only to be gently pushed away by Sam, who took his imprint in his arms, hugging her closely as he breathed in her scent, confirming her safety to not only him, but his wolf.

Jared had Kim in his arms instantly, questioning the gun in her hands lowly as she began to explain everything that went on, and how scared she was without him there to face the vampire.

To say the others weren't as happy was an understatement, thank God they sent a few of them home.

"What were you thinking?!" Paul yelled at his imprint, his worry had washed away as he finally came to terms with how stupid she had been, in the woods alone with a vampire.

"I was thinking of helping my friend, I shouldn't have to sit back and let you handle everything. Why else do you think that I've been training?" Riley was livid, her cousin was involved, her friends and even her human sister....so why couldn't she help out her friends in staying alive?

"Training?! You think training is going to help you against that?! Do you even realise how stupid you were being!!" Paul argued back, his body not even bothering to shake as the anger cored from somewhere else.

"Yes! I shot the arrow so you guys knew she was here! And it worked! We're all safe! Who cares if I had gotten hurt?! I'm fine!"

"Who cares—??!" Paul had to do a double take at that, "God Riley, I almost lost you! You could have died!"

"What does it matter to you?! Everyone would have been safe, it was better for me to go out and help, who knows what could have happened!" Riley remained in her place, she wasn't going to let herself get talked out of it.

"If you die...a part of me does too! You're my freaking imprint Riley! Do you even understand what you did?!"

"Your what..?" Riley's voice broke the tension as she stopped yelling, her body relaxing as she spoke with confusion, she was his imprint? Why hasn't he done anything about it? Did he not want them to be anything? Maybe he was trying to break it. Her thoughts were racing as her body neglected her breathing abilities and her temperature dropped drastically from the heated movement she before.

The pack seemed to be on the wait to see how she would react to the news that Paul had mistakenly let loose, but she seemed to be frozen there.

"What the hell, Lahote" Leah snapped, stepping forward and pushing the boy out of the way as she gently placed her hands on Riley's shoulders as if pressing too hard or too fast would trigger Riley. "Ri?"

Riley's eyes fluttered slightly as her body become limp, exhausted taking over her as well as shock, and Leah quickly caught her waist, preventing her from falling down to the floor. Leah glared at Paul as she picked up Riley into her arms, shocked by how the girl was lighter than she seemed.

"Oh dear" Emily states sadly, walking over to help Leah. "We'll take her to the guest room. Sam, I think it's best if everyone goes home, It's been too much for one night"

Sam nodded in agreement with his fiancé, before he nodded his head towards the door, silently telling the others to leave.

"Can you stay at mine, Jared?" Kim's scared voice asked, and his eyes softened as his imprint. It was her first slumber party and it had been ruined by that vampire.

"Of course" He responded, grabbing his hand and leading her out of the house, not bothering to say bye as his main concern was Kim.

"I'll head over to Jake's, he usually is making a snack at this time" Alisha stated awkwardly as she glanced between the alpha and Paul, and she silently nodded to herself before she walked away.

"You can either stay on the couch or on a chair in the guest room." Sam offered to Paul, knowing he wasn't going to leave, and Paul nodded quickly, walking off down the hallway towards his imprint.
