This is the first chapter of the sequel to "Imprints". It's in Jacob's POV. you should read the first story first, it would make more sense. Really hope you like this chapter, I already like this story more. Review if you like it.

I sat staring at Nicole. She seemed to get even more interesting the longer I looked. It seemed like she was the only person around; the only thing around, but she wasn't. we were surrounded by the pack, everyone laughing, talking and having fun. Loud as it was, I only noticed Nicole.

It was one of our bonfire nights, Sam had something important to tell us. Me, like any one else in the pack, knew what he had to say. Sam was going to stop phasing so him and Emily could grow up together, start a family… so one.

Nicole turned to me, her dark eyes tracing my body; she blushed. We sat motionless, our eyes only leaving each others to blink, when an elastic hit my bare leg. Of course it didn't hurt but it made me lose my concentration.

I whipped my head to look at the group; all eyes were on me.

"What!" I screamed, scaring some of the girls and Brady. I turned my head toward Sam, he was waiting paitionatly, waiting to start his conversation.

"Sorry," I said under my breath. Sam shook his head and looked into the fire.

"You know I'm getting older, well I'm not but Emily is," he shifted his eyes to look at Emily. I used to think it was disgusting watching Sam look at Emily with his goo-goo eyes, but I get it now; I look at Nicole just the same way.

I took my head out of the clouds and got back into the conversation that was being made around me. Sam just finished his little love speech and was finally getting to the point. I looked around at the pack and their girls. The guys seemed bored, already knowing what he was going to say, but the girls looked excited to know what he was about to say, like always.

"Well I'm going to stop phasing, for Emily." Somebody gasped, most likely Danielle, and everyone else stayed quiet. I looked over to Emily, her eyes were filled with tears and she pulled herself to Sam. They started kissing, no making out. Paul, disgusted by the scene, stood up, grabbed Taylor and started to walk away. I followed his lead and so did everyone else.

The bonfire party was over; once someone started making out it was always over. I rapped my arm around Nicole, her sighing once in my arms and walked toward the beach.

It was already dark out, the stars were shining, the moon was full. Nicole was shivering, not from the cold but most likely frightened. Ever since she found out about vampires, she always stayed near me; I liked that.

I dropped my arm from around her waist and slowly walked toward the water. Nicole followed me, first taking her shoes off, then jogging up to me. She forcefully took my hand and sighed, happy to be in my safety.

We walked slowly toward the water, stopping right at where the waves hit your toes. The waves felt nice, soothing, it took my mind off of everything.

More young boys in La Push were phasing; there was now twelve of us. This scared everyone, there had to be a reason for all the changing, something was coming.

I looked at Nicole she was smiling, looking across the ocean.

"Nicole," I said quietly, not wanting to spook her. She looked up at me ready to say something.

I put my finger to her mouth, something was watching us. Nicole's eyes widened with fear. I looked out into the forest, pulling Nicole closer to me. Whatever was watching us wasn't human, wasn't wolf. And there was more then one.

That's when it hit me, there was a smell that I would always remember. I started shaking, but tried to control myself; Nicole didn't need to see me as a wolf.

I could see in the tree, something Nicole couldn't see, someone I used to love to see.

I looked back at Nicole, she was staring at me then back at the trees. That's when I knew she was in my sight. Bella was in her sight.

She walked slowly up to me, more gracefully then before, and stopped a foot away. She smiled.

"I'm happy to see you happy Jake."

Please review, I'll update sooner
