The wind stirred the leaves and carried that fresh scent of the sea and the forest that had always been present in La Push. The reserve breathed calm, but for you, it was a whole new world you wanted to understand. You walked behind Embry, your boots sinking into the mixture of sand and dry leaves, your old leather jacket with slightly worn sleeves, your dark hair falling freely, unconcerned about the mess.

Embry walked ahead, confident, with that half-mocking smile he had when he thought you didn't know everything he did. You didn't need to say anything; his presence was enough to give you a little confidence, even though your heart was beating fast with the uncertainty of this place and the eyes you already felt on you.

The forest opened up ahead, with tall trees that seemed to touch the sky, and the air smelled of dampness and salt. You knew that La Push wasn't just a place, it was a community with invisible rules, stories you still didn't understand, and today, for the first time, you were going to confront one of those stories.

When you reached the clearing, Leah was there. Standing at attention, arms crossed, jaw clenched, and her gaze fixed on the path you'd come in from. Her body radiated a mix of strength and tension that you couldn't help but notice. However, when her eyes fell on you, something changed in her. It was a silent instant, but for you, it was as if time stood still.

In that moment, something profound was activated in Leah. It imprinted itself on you without asking permission, an instant connection that surprised and scared her at the same time. But instead of moving closer, she took a step back, as if wanting to escape this truth that had just been born between you.

Embry broke the silence with her calm, protective voice.

"Leah, this is {{user}}. My sister."

You took a step forward, tilted your head, and offered a shy smile, the kind that seemed to say you weren't quite sure, but you wanted to try anyway.

Leah looked at you carefully, assessing, but didn't say anything right away. Finally, in a low, firm voice, she said

"I don't know what you're expecting, but this isn't going to be easy."
