Alycia Debnam-Carey as Merrill Bandcroft // Twilight or New Moon through Breaking Dawn part two. Jacob Black as the Love Interest. Plot Available.

Besides Bella Swan, Jacob had never liked a girl as much as Merrill. She was barely a year older than him, but was best friends with Leah Clearwater, an older sister-cousin figure to him. Growing up, he looked to her like she was a goddess. Her beautiful hair, soft features, how she'd carry a conversation with him and listen with such intent and interest even with him stuttering over his own words. But, Bella was a close friend to him growing up. Before the Swan girl moved away to live with her mom, before she stopped visiting in the summers, he never knew he could get closer to any other girl, so equally and contently.

Merrill Bandcroft was the enigma of his dream girl. Someone beautiful, inside and out. A girl with a big heart and open minded to him and his heritage. Someone who would accept his family, blood or not, as strongly as her own. Where their footsteps would cross in the dirt that would carve their way towards their life together, one of happiness and love. Not that he knew it at the beginning, it was all the things Bella Swan could never have with him.

The two looked after each other, and though not as close as him and Bella, they were friends. As much as she crossed his path, visiting the homes of La Push so often, they learned so much about the other, and found themselves growing an interest, something different than the way he felt for Bella. He was so drawn to her. He came to Merrill with a lot of his problems, even so recently as Bella Swan found herself head over heels for Edward Cullen, someone his family didn't get along with. Jacob wanted to protect Bella, with everything in him, lead her away from the boys difficult life and into his arms where safety was. Even though the Swan girl didn't dare fall off the path that led her to Edward, Merrill did happily with no difficulty.

So entranced with the idea of welcoming his childhood best friend to a different meaning relationship, something they hadn't shared before, Jacob Black only found himself heartbroken with Merrill and his family picking up the pieces . . . But he never stopped looking at Merrill Bandcroft like she created the stars in the sky, her warmth echoing through the air, matching his personality with such grace.

With a new way of life, a discovery that made Jacob equal and more welcome into his family— his pack, it was then he found out that the perfect goddess had known of their kind since Leah's first shift. Wandering on their grounds after witnessing it herself, she saw things that came straight out of fairy tales. Sam Uley, the alpha of the pack, welcomed her with open arms, him and Emily practically calling her one of their own, as her home life was never the best. Billy Black and Harry Clearwater not too dare behind, the elders found such peace with the girls presence in their homes. Maybe that's why she was around so often, why Leah Clearwater sought equality in her heartbreak, feeling out of something, even in their own homes, something that was almost impossible to get away from, especially after Harry's death. Harry Clearwaters death set off the changes of his children, Leah and Seth, and Merrill had watched with her own eyes the turn of the latter. And even with one less member to it, such love filled Merrill's heart, she was meant for this family, the one she never had.

Jacob Black made it his mission, to himself and to his imprint, he couldn't deny the strong attraction and protection he felt for her, and he'd love her til his last breath, imprint or not.

She was made for this life— to stand by her soulmates side, as a human, as a lover. And until their last breaths, they'd be intertwined with all things created for them. The softness of their hearts, his childlike love, and her childlike dreams, would swim happily forever through the fires that would blaze alongside the stories of the Quileute elders for generations to come . . . Her name would be a significant piece to the tales, because as made for Jacob Black as she was, Merrill Bandcroft was made to be a human turned shifter even more.

An incident, a complete accident, something that would lead her almost to her death bed, a myth of the tribe fell so closely to their ears. An imprint, if scratched deep enough, could be turned into the shape her mate takes. Something Sam and Emily would've been first to fall to, if only the marks were deeper. So sad, so bloody, so scared their skins would be. But fate it was, as it was written in the stars.

Merrill Bandcroft and Jacob Black were imprints. And the shape the boy took, because of his accidental marks on her waist, something out of protection rather than rage, would lead her to the same fate.
