Seth ↔ Jesse ↔ Clearwater

→Seth grinned, happy he didn't have to explain the basics of what imprinting was. She already knew; her own lore had explained the sacred connection, though in a different way, she knew of it. "Why do I ask?" He said in a low voice. "I know that you've already figured out exactly why I'm asking. But I never figured that two shifters of a different pack or clan-not to mention the fact that felines hate canines and vice versa... I never thought that it was possible for two shifters of different descent to imprint on each other like this. And I never believed it was this strong."

→Suddenly, Seth began to hear footsteps coming toward the beach. He squeezed Sienna's hand and hesitantly turned, knowing by the smell that it was someone from her pack, most likely coming to get her. So, low and behold, the other girl-not the one who purposefully left so they could be together-came storming onto the beach. But, when she began pulling them apart and, yes, guarding her from him, she began to get on his nerves. Her words just made him tick more. Glaring at her, he took a step forward, barely able to keep himself from shifting. Usually he got along with everyone, but you could not try to keep somebody from their imprint. That's when things got dirty.

→Lightly, he stepped around Sienna, turning the tables. Now he was protecting her, instead of her being protected from him. A low, territorial growl started from the bottom of his throat. There was no way he was going to let this girl take Sienna away from him-or push him around like this for that matter. "Don't touch her!" He roared, bristling a bit. "I wouldn't hurt her. But I wouldn't have a problem with hurting you if you try interfering with a fresh imprint."

▫◦▫◦Sienna smiled softly as she listened to Seth. Her smnile remained on her face, but she had heard her sister's feet. She had smelled her as well. She turned her face and her eyes were sad, but she was angry. Sienna knew that Anna was only trying to protect her, but she was trying to protect Sienna from the wrong person!

▫◦▫◦Sienna hissed when her hand was taken away from Seth's. The spark was ripped violently away from her and it felt like a fresh bloody wound. "Don't touch me. And if you ever call him a mutt again, I'll slice off all that pretty hair of yours." she hissed, yanking back and away from her sister. Sienna moved back to Seth's side and stayed away from her sister. "You can't protect me from everything." Sienna said angrily.

▫◦▫◦She honestly wasn't upset at her sister at all. To be honest, Sienna loved Annalisea. But ever since Troy died, anna was overly protective. t was horribly annoying, and she hated it. She stood her ground, not caring what her sister said. Sienna was pissed. Anna shouldn't have done that. The hairs on the back of her neck stood upright, and it was all she could do to not shift. If she had to, Sienna was willing to fight her sister. Definitly not kill, but definitly maim. Maim horriblly, if need be.

Yes, I bite

Annaliesea ◌ Marisol ◌ Tate

══►Anna growled at Seth and pushed him out of her way. She pulled Sienna along a little way so they could talk. "Sienna you aren't thinking clearly. Now I insist you come with me." She growled dangerously. She knew Sienna was going to fight her as long and as hard as possible. She rolled her eyes and eyed Sienna and Seth. She growled and turned her head away. This was the last thing she wanted.

══►Anna sighed and growled again. "Do you want to end up like Troy?!" She yelled loudly. She was so sick of this. She looked around and felt her heart breaking. She sighed. "You want to screw up your life fine... I warned you!" She then phased and ran into the woods leaving Sienna behind. She ran deeply into the forest and laid down. She felt the huge tears rolling down her muzzle. She ran again faster and faster. She just wanted to go back to Phoenix. She knew they should have never left. These stupid wolves were taking everything from her. She had nothing left now. She ran past Forks and began running faster. She didn't know where she was heading she just wanted to run.

══►Finally Anna reached the mountains and laid down on a flat area with a stream and she just laid there. Thinking about everything that happened. She got up and walked into and abandoned cave and begn to cry in her lioness form and hopefully thought it would make her sleep. Eventually Anna fell asleep not listening to anything but her own heart.

▫◦▫◦Sienna growled at her sister as she walked with her. She yanked her arm away from her, angry. '"I'm not Troy, damn it!! You can't treat me like him! No one could save him. He had the bond, and it wasn't his fault!" she yelled back at her sister. She shook her head angrily and growled. "I'm not wasting my life!! You can't just-" but Anna had already left.

▫◦▫◦And something in Sienna broke when her sister turned her back on her. Her shoulders slumped and it took her a moment to register what had happened. she shook her head and started running. She called out her sister's name a few times. "Anna!! Anna, come back, please!!" she called out. Sienna didn't want to shift, beecause then she'd be out of clothes. So quickly, she tore off her clothes and left them where they were, shifting quickly.

▫◦▫◦When Sienna had finally found Anna, she was asleep. She shifted back into a human and looked over her sister. "I'm not Troy, so you can't treat me like him. It's the Forever Bond, Anna and you can't break it no matter how hard you try. I love you... But I need him." she said softly, tears slowly begining to roll down her cheeks. Sienna leaned down and kissed the large lioness's head before getting up. And Sienna started running, tears streaming. She stopped by a tree and slammed her fists onto it. Sobs racked her chest. This hurt her. It hurt her terribly.. Anna was her sister. Their bond was almost as strong as the Forever Bond. If this didn't kill her, Sienna didn't know what would. She fell to the ground and curled up into a small ball on the cold grass, tears still falling down her face.

Yes, I bite

►Beta Nicholas Anderson◄

~~Beta smiled at Leah and looked over his shoulder to see that Anna had left just like he had asked. He knew Anna didn't want to be there so sending her to protect her sister was the best thing for her at the moment besides going back to Phoenix. Beta really didn't want to head back to Arizona so soon but if they had to they would go.

~~Beta looked back at Leah and thought to himself, "Dang she's breathtaking." He smiled like there was no tomorrow. He couldn't remember feeling like happy or this way in general since before Cara was killed. Something about Leah just made him smile. Then it dawned on him that he was connected to her through the Forever Bond, an old legend the elders told him when he was a little kid. He smiled knowing that the clan couldn't do anything to break this but at the same time it deeply bothered him because that would mean either he would have to stay here or bring her back to Arizona but clearly she was connected to this wolf pack in some way. It also occured to him that Sienna had a Forever Bond with Seth so that really would stir some emotions in the clan when the others found out. Especially when Allainna found out.

~~He shook the thought away and focused on what was going on now. He started talking with Leah for what seemed like hours and noticed that Sienna and Anna hadn't returned left. He told Leah he would be right back as he walked over to where Laurie was now standing. She didn't seem to notice that the others were still gone. He tapped Laurie on her shoulder as he told her, "Anna and Sienna have been gone too long... Come on, let's go looking for them. Maybe we'll be able to find them before something bad happens." Beta didn't like the thought that they might be in serious danger and he didn't pay better attention. It may be too late but hopefully one of them was in lion form so he could find them easier when he shifted.

~~But before he took off searching for Anna and Sienna, he told Leah: "I have to go looking for my friends but I'd like to see you again. So here's my number, just call if you can hang or talk." Beta smiled knowing that she at least could call him. Allainna made sure that he brought his phone before he left. It was currently off in his pocket since he knew she could always contact him when he was in lion form, but now he had a reason to turn it on. He smiled and left the house with Laurie looking for Anna and Sienna. He took off his pants and boxers, tied them around his ankle (he hardly ever noticed they were there when he shifted) then changed into his lion form and tried to find the girls.

Leah▬Clearwater

▬Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?▬

◄◄►Leah smiled and knew she had imprinted on Beta. He was absolutely gorgeous and his voice rang handsomely in her ears. She couldn't help but blush every time they had met eye contact. She noticed that the girl had left in quite a hurry. She wondered faintly why she always looked pained now. She shrugged the thought off and looked at Beta again.

◄◄► Leah sat down next to Beta and began talking about everything she could. They talked about their jobs.. About how she was second in command with Jacob like he was with his alpha. She smiled when she found out that their alpha was a woman. She wondered faintly how this came to be. She gently shook it though as her hand laid gently on his. She felt the sparks flow between them and she blushed again. They kept talking for about hours until it looked like it was getting dark. And Seth was no where to be seen.

◄◄►Leah nodded at Beta who had excused himself to go get his two other members. Ans Leah nodded. "It's fine I need to go get my brother anyway." She said gently. She quickly walked outside with him and went behind the house and took her clothes off and tied them to her ankle. She then phased into a grey black and white wolf and began running fastly for Seth. She followed his scent to the beach and saw him alone. She gave him a confused look as to why he was alone. She nuzzled his hand and smiled gently at her little brother glad he was ok.

▬▬►Paul rolled his eyes, but smiled nonetheless. He should've known Claire would not only want a ride, but want a game to boot. Sighing, he laid down and laid his head on one paw when she began running. Exhausted could describe him right now, after all the snarling and the lashing out at the felines, and he was sure going to get a nap-or at least a rest-before playing a game with the official Quilete three year old imprint.

▬▬►Of course, little Claire would break him down eventually, probably within the next ten or twenty minutes. But that didn't matter, he was going to rest now until he was forced to play with the little one. After glancing at her one more time, Paul closed his eyes and let his tail go down, resting within the grass. When a few seconds had gone by, he could feel his own heart rate slow, until he was calm and collected once again, the evil little cat shifters forgotten for the time being. Then he felt Claire's hand against his coat.

▬▬►His eyelids flashed open just in time for him to see Claire's little legs slowly pacing. She was running away, and Paul had caved in. Okay then, now the game would begin. Paul barked once, and began to run after her. He was running at a pace lesser than a normal three year olds, and Claire was even faster than them. Which meant he was doing what he and Quil almost always did: he was letting her get away and think that he couldn't catch up. It would be a cute game if you were a bystander, really. Except for the fact that it was a huge wolf chasing a three year old. But Claire was used to it by now.

▒▒▒Laurie Cassie Taylor▒▒▒

---♥Laurie stood still, with her right hand holding her left elbow loosely. As she watched nearby events unfold, the first thing that caught her eye was Sienna's sister flying out of the house. Of course, she was probably going to lecture Sienna, but Laurie knew the girl was able to fend for herself, despite young age. Hopefully. Then she turned once more, and saw Beta staring into a Quilete girl's eyes, and speaking to her like he was completely stunned. Wonderful, so that's what was happening. All four of them had been pulled to Forks just so that the forever bond could work it's magic-on everyone besides Anna and Laurie herself. So she was still alone, wasn't that comforting?

---♥Turning and shaking the thoughts out of her head, Laurie was just getting ready to leave. Then Beta approached her, and ordered her to help her look for Sienna and Anna with him. Nodding sullenly, she began to go outside, then walked slowly into the nearby forests. When she was fairly deep into them, she tied her clothes to her wrist-green tank on top of her shorts for proper camouflage-and shifted. Taking a breath and getting a hold of her thoughts, which meant no more thinking about love, she started forward, scents intermingling within her nostrils, and giving her clues to the whereabouts to the rest of her pack.

---♥Both Sienna's and Anna's thoughts and scents were strong along here, but she started towards Sienna. They were better friends, and much closer in age, considering Laurie was the second youngest. Slowly, she began padding toward her, keeping perfect balance by waving her long, thin tail back and forth. After moments, Sienna's scent became strong. Laurie took a strong bounce forward, and landed just beside Sienna. She was in horrible shape, crying in her human form, and curled up in the grass.

---♥Laurie shook her head and turned. s**t, she thought, figuring she shouldn't have so easily let her talk with that wolf boy. Quickly, she scampered behind a tree and shifted, putting all of her clothes on in seconds. Then she ran back over to Sienna, landing on her knees beside her. "What did he do to you, hon?" She asked, running her hand through Sienna's hair, much like a mother would. "I can go beat him up for you. I wouldn't kill him if you didn't want me to though, promise."

Seth ↔ Jesse ↔ Clearwater

→Seth watched the two settle this silently, not able to utter a single word. Then, the unknown one disappeared, leaving just as swiftly as she had came into the picture. Almost immediately afterwards, Sienna followed, looking as if she was now on the verge of tears. Seth, of course, felt the urge to comfort her, but felt a stronger urge to let her fix this by herself. He didn't know the situation, and definitely didn't know who the heck Troy was, and wasn't about to find out. It wasn't his business anyway.

→For a few minutes, he just watched, completely dumbfounded. Shaking his head, Seth began to reply all of the dialogue, everything said between the two of them. But when his sister, Leah, could be smelled through the air, he looked back up. She was running towards him, in her wolf form. When she reached him, she looked up at him once, looking almost as confused as he was at the moment, and then nuzzled his hand. Shrugging once, he only scratched the top of her head.

→"I hope you're as confused as I am, 'cause I definitely don't want to be alone in this hellhole." He muttered, his voice only having the slightest tilt of sarcasm towards the end. "So should we go speak to Jacob or Sam about this, or keep it to ourselves?"I vote we keep it to ourselves, he thought hesitantly, frowning and brushing dirt off his arms. This was sure to become a fight fast, with all of this odd crap happening. And Seth wasn't sure how he would fight a war, where he was loyal to a pack full of his best friends and shifters similar to him-not to mention his sister-but would be against his new imprint.

▫◦▫◦Sienna blinked her eyes open, glad to see Laurie. She pulled herself up and forced herself to grab her clothes. Sienna pulled her clothes on tiredly and walked back over to Laurie. She sat down beside her friend and ran a hand through her hair. "It wasn't him at all. It was Anna." she murmured softly beneath her breath. Sienna sighed softly and leaned against the tough bark of the tree she had curled up beside.

▫◦▫◦She shook her head as she thought about it once more. Anna and Seth. It killed her intensly to know that what she basically had to do was choose between the two. "I don't want to choose between the two." she said softly. Sienna's brown eyes were desperate as she looked at Laurie for guidance. She had always been close to Laurie and Anna more than the other girls in the Clan. She went to both for advice but because of the previous hours events...Not so much.

▫◦▫◦Sienna sighed. "She doesn't want me to end out like Troy, and I know she cares but it hurts sometimes." she said softly. Troy had been killed by a wolf he had bonded with. The she wolf was from a rival tribe in Upper Arizona. Anna had personally killed the wolf who had killed Troy, and a small war had ensued. Sienna shook her head and closed her eyes. She didn't want to think about it. It hurt her too much. But Sienna knew that she couldn't run away from her problems, that would only make her hurt more. Sienna sighed and shook her head once more, trying desperatly to shake the thoughts clear.

Leah▬Clearwater

▬Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?▬

◄◄►Leah nodded at Seth when he asked if she was confused. He looked pained and Leah felt her own heart crack. She smelled the lioness sisters scent and growled a little in her chest. She was absolutely pissed that they completely hurt her brother. She also wondered what they did to hurt poor Seth. She looked up at him with curious eyes and still saw the pain in his eyes. Leah had half a mind to run after those lions and cuss them out. But the part of her that was connected to Beta felt that it wasn't her place to do that. Leah whimpered and then bowed her head.

◄◄►Leah then heard Seth ask if they should tell Jake or Sam and Leah growled. She ran behind a tree and phased into her human form. She then put her clothes on and ran back up to her little brother. "I say we keep it to ourselves. Which also means Don't think about it!" She said gently. "I also imprinted on one of them. Beta apparently." She said sheepishly and a blush came onto her cheeks. She hadn't felt like this since she was with Sam... only Sam couldn't even make her feel like this. She looked at Seth and wrapped her arm around him in a big sister fashion.

◄◄►She smiled and gave Seth a nuggie and smiled at him gently."Let's go to Emily's or we can go home?" She asked him gently. Leah had taken over the house that she and Seth had grew up in. She was actually uncomfortable since Charlie and her mother had gotten together. She had since been living on the res considering she was getting sick of the vampire scent. She had Seth live with her too considering Seth never wanted to move anyways.

►Beta Nicholas Anderson◄

~~Beta shifted when he saw the girls up ahead and changed back into his clothes then walked over to them. He looked at Laurie and Sienna wondering why they all looked so down. Did something happen between Sienna and Seth, or Sienna and Anna? Beta knew Anna felt horrible about Forever Bond with other shape shifters because just like Cara, Troy was also killed by another group.

~~He went over to them and asked with a very protective tone of voice, "What happened? Do I have to beat up someone?" He would if he had to even though it would probably hurt Leah's feelings since it was her little brother. He sighed and told Sienna trying to make her understand that she wasn't alone with this, "Forever Bond, right? You're not the only one. Seems I've got one with Seth's sister, Leah." He smiled thinking about her then shook his head knowing it wasn't the right time to be thinking about how beautiful she was.

~~Beta felt like yelling at the wolves, but also didn't want to because of Leah. Why were things so complicated these days? He shook his head thinking about how much he would get yelled at for this by Allainna and the rest of the clan. He was supposed to be watching girls and making sure that they didn't get into any problems especially with other shape shifters. Oh he was going to hear about this! He reached his hand into his pocket and flipped open the cell phone half-hoping he wasn't going to get a phone call from Allainna anytime soon. It started vibrating from missed messages. He pulled it out and noticed there were five missed calls from Allainna. He shook his head and decided to call her once he found out what was going on.

►Beta Nicholas Anderson◄

~~Allianna was not happy that I haven’t been answering my phone. She was furious. I tried to lighten the mood but it didn’t seem to help. She wanted as back home within the next two weeks or she was going to come to Washington and drag us back. I tried to explain everything. About we had bonds here, not just bonds Forever Bonds. She wouldn’t listen. She was furious and when she was furious nothing helped. Explanations went nowhere with her. She hung up after several minutes of screaming.

~~I sighed and looked at the girls that were near me. How was I supposed to tell them that we had to leave? I didn’t want to leave so how could I make them. You know what… I’m not going to listen to Allianna. She can come and try to drag us home for all I care. You don’t mess with someone’s Forever Bond. I’m not leaving Leah and I’m not making Sienna leave Seth. The others can get mad at me. I’m the Beta in this clan and I’m in charge. We’re not leaving any time soon even though our Alpha wants us to.
