“What I see? Well I see…” I looked into his eyes. He was thinking to hard about the answer. “…A young girl who is trying to find a place in the crazy world around her. I see someone who wants to live her life…but not always the way her parents want. But above all that, I see you, Nessie… look, I know your life hasn’t been easy, especially being who and what you are, but I have only ever seen you as Nessie. Not the daughter of a vampire and human, not a monster, not even as a bloodsucker” I had to smile slightly at his speech.

“Thanks” My heart beat quickened and a strange feeling made my stomach drop. I returned my eyes to the ocean and exhaled deeply. It wasn’t until I heard Jacob again that I realised I was frowning.

“That wasn’t what you wanted to hear, was it?” I shot him a sideward glance and pulled the corner of my mouth up into a lopsided, half-hearted grin.

“Yes…and no” My answer was true, even if it was confusing.

“I don’t know what you want me to say Nessie” He ran a hand through his long hair and sighed.

“Don’t you?” I asked, turning my body so I was completely facing him.

“No…So help me out here a little” How could I go about telling him what I wanted him to say, when I only had an idea myself. Over the past year something has changed between me and Jacob, I don’t know what, but it is there. When I joined the local High school, I was thrown into a battle of social acceptance. It was clear to me from the beginning that the only reason why people revelled in my time, was because of my appearance. Which to some people, may seem great, but to me it was just another reason to stay on my own.

I didn’t want people to complement me on my long bronze curls, or on my bright brown eyes, I wanted them to judge me on my personality; on the real human me.

“I feel like you’re a magnet!”

“A magnet?” He was laughing- but I didn’t mean it as a joke in the slightest.

“I’m North, you’re South Jacob! You’re right, I’m wrong, you’re day, and I’m night. Complete opposites, yet we are always together, always associated with one another. We fit together perfectly…but there’s one missing piece”

“And what’s that?” His voice was slightly confused, but it still held a certain amount of awareness to it. I bit my lip and looked at the ground. I wasn’t sure how he was going to handle what I wanted…whether he could give me it or not.

“The truth. Would you lie to me if I asked?” I heard him sigh and thought the worst.

“…No…” A part of me froze, I was in shock to say the least but a part of knew that he wasn’t going to deny me an answer I had sought after for so long now.

“A-Am I your imprint?”
