Chapter 13
Fusedtwilight: Twilight DVD march 1st cant wait. New moon sounds like it will be good, people are saying Leah won’t be in it. And if she is she will have no speaking roles that suck.
Embry P.O.V
I finally arrived at the Denali’s house. It was funny the Cullens had a last name but the Alaskans didn’t so we just called them the Denali’s or the Alaskans. It wasn’t easy to find them I had no idea where they lived but all I had to do was follow the smell of leech and it was easy. My trail led me to a giant caban in an isolated part of the mountains. It was a little bigger then the Cullens house but it had a cozier feel to it. I quickly went to the door and started to bark. In my haste to go to Alaska I didnt stop to pick up any cloths I hope they have some for me. The door flew open and something small and petet tackled me. I was about to retaliate when a familiar voice cryed out "EMBRY!"
It was Sara. She wrapped her dainty little arms around my neck and shoved her face into my fur "Oh Embry you smell so horrible but I’m glad you’re here" she said gripping me in a bone crushing grip.
I tried to respond but her grip was so tight and I was still in wolf form. I tried to say, "Your choking me” but all that came out was:
"Harhhyyyaagghh"
"Sara ease up your strangling him" Edward said.
Sara looked startled and quickly let me go. I feel in a heap of fur and struggled to breath "Oh Embry im so sorry!" she said placing her hands gently on my side.
A few more of the vamps came to see what was happaning. I could only imagine how absurd it all looked. Me a giant fury wolf-monster being soothed buy a dainty little vampire because she hugged him to hard. I guess only Emmett and another vampire with sandy hair tied in a ponytail could appreciate the irony as they both burst into roaring fits of laughter.
"This isn’t funny Emmett Garrett!" Sara said furiously her hands on her hips glaring at the two "What if I hurt him?"
They glanced at each other and bust into more laughter. Sara fumed and I wished someone would shut them up.
"Kate would you kindly?" Edward asked. He must have heard my request.
One of the blonde vamps nodded and walked up to the two who were to preoccupied laughing to notice her. She placed a hand on each and next thing I knew they were both on the floor.
"That’s what you get" Kate said "Picking on poor Sara, you know how sensitive she is"
"Thanks Kate" Sara said.
"Chicks before dicks" Kate said giving her thumbs up.
"What?" Edward asked confused.
"You know like bros before hoes, like that only it's for sisterhood" Kate explained.
I stood up and Sara backed away a little giving me some room.
"Could you get me some cloths? I kinda rushed here" I thought.
"Yes of course I’ll tell Alice and she'll get you something" Edward said.
I walked into the house shaking myself of all the snow that had latched onto my fur on my way here. Carlisle and the one called Eleazar came walking into the room.
"Embry glad you got here so soon" Carlisle said.
"Jake, Quil, and Leah are on there way" I thought, and Edward relayed my message.
"Good, good. Now then as you know-"
"CARISLE!" Alice shrieked quickly running into the room Jasper closely following.
"What is it what’s wrong?" Carlisle asked.
"He's coming, he's coming sooner than we thought. And he's not coming alone" She said. "He found Maria's enemy sooner than she expected him to. She gave him five of her vampires to accompany him, but he has old friends he's going to find to help him!"
"How many?" Carlisle asked.
"Twenty in all" she said.
Twenty? Damn it we weren’t expecting that many. Not including Nessie and Sara there would be seventeen including the wolves and vamps. I felt Jake and the others phase and I quickly transmitted the information to them "I'll bring more" Jake said.
Seth P.O.V
I was at the Cullens with Nathan and Phillip we were keeping an eye on the pups as we liked to call the children who phased during the incident with the Volturi. Lilith was there filling in for Leah as the loving but scary mother.
"What the hell is this?" she said holding up a chewed up boot of hers.
"I want to know who did this right NOW!" she demanded.
All the pups were cowering in a corner. The boot had been given to Lil as a wedding gift for our wedding. According to Alice it was Prada, and as the pups were about to learn hell hath no fury like a woman who lost her Prada.
"Listen to me you little punks I want a name or so help me every single one of you will stand in a corner until your friggen legs fall off!" she threatened.
"It was me Lil" a scared timid voice said.
"Ohhh busted" Phillip said dramatically.
The youngest of the group a boy called Eric stepped forward. He was only seven but he looked fourteen. The poor kids, Carlisle said they were similar to the immortal children. They had little control with there emotions they kept on phasing. We had made no progress in teaching them on how to control there tempers so they kept phasing and until we found a way to make them stop they wouldn't age. Imagine what that must be like. The mind of a child stuck in the body of a teen.
There parents had dumped them all onto us to look after. Sam had tried to convince the parents to let him take care of the children, but Jake had fought so hard to bring them over. He convinced Sam that the children should come over to his pack because there were so many members of his pack that it would be to much for there young minds to handle his packs mind. Sam still kept an eye on them. Emily loved having the kids over for lunch and dinner. Jamie Sam’s half-brother had let me know Emily was starting to want her own little bun in the oven, apparently having all the kids at her place had made her baby envy.
"Eric, why did you do this?" she demanded sternly.
"I’m sorry" he said tears running down his face "I phased and I couldn’t think normal and I found your boot and it smelled chewy and I loved it and i-i-im so so-sorry" he said his lip quivering.
Another thing about the pups they had no control of there instincts when they phase. They might as well be actual wolves.
Lilith sighed and went over to Eric and gave him a hug, rubbing his back in a soothing way, "It's ok sweetie I understand. Next time tell me ok I promise I wont get mad" she said.
I enjoyed seeing that. Lilith whether she admitted it or not did have a maternal side. I think like Emily and Leah spending so much time with the pups was bringing out her maternal instincts. We had discussed having children of our own but she admitted it probably wouldn’t be until she graduated college. I wasn’t looking forward to that because we wouldn’t be able to spend as much time together but it meant a lot to her to be the first person from her family to actually go to college.
Speaking of her family they would be visiting soon. Her father and ten older brothers. She tries to act nonchalant about the whole thing but I knew she was very nervous about it. I knew from her own behavior and brief talks about her childhood that her family although very close was also very violent and street wise. I also had a few sneaking suspicions they were involved in a few less then legal activities. I had no idea exactly what but Cain and Able where tight lipped about it and Lilith would change the subject.
My phone began to ring and I answered when I saw it was Jake.
"Hey Jake what’s up?"
"Seth I need you Need you, Nathan, and Phillip to come with us to Denali" he said.
"Why what happened?"
"The leech that attacked Sara is coming for her and he's bringing some friends, more than was anticipated. Can you call one of the other pack members to look after the pups?"
"Ya of course I’ll tell Nathan and Phillip"
"We'll be there in a minute, be ready"
"Alright" I said and we hung up.
"What's up?" Lil asked seeing my serious expression.
"Jake needs us to go to Alaska to help fight a large group of vamps" I said.
"By us I assume you mean the three of us?" Nathan asked.
"Ya we need to find someone to look after the pups" I said.
"I'll do it" Lil said.
"Lil that’s nice but you can’t handle them" I said.
"Oh really?" she said crossing her arms.
I knew that pose. My sweet little war angel was getting ready for a battle of the wills and my imprint was obviously going to win.
"Lil you know how emotional they get. You can’t control them when they phase" I said firmly.
"There kids Seth of course there emotional. They just need a firm hand is all" she said stubbornly.
Why does she always have to be so damn headstrong?
"Lil I’m putting my foot down your not looking after the pups and that’s finale" I said.
"You’re putting your foot down?" she asked raising her brow.
Ah hell here we go.
"Well since were sticking our limbs out, let me tell you something Seth Clearwater", she said stepping forward and poking me in the chest with her finger, "I am nineteen years old, I was raised in Los Angles, I was raised in a family of men, and if I can survive a psychotic psycho vampire bitch wanting to swipe bodies with me I think I can handle a bunch of adolescent wolves!"
God I loved this woman! She was so beautiful. When she smiled, when she cried, even when she's mad. But still I knew they couldn’t help it but I can’t risk they could phase and hurt her. I knew they loved her but look what happened with Sam and Emily…
"Will you at least have one of the other wolves come over and help you?" I pleaded.
"Of course Seth" she said cupping my face in her hands and kissing me on the cheek. I heard Phillip gag and the pups start to make ohhh's and ewww sounds.
"I may be proud but I’m not stupid I’ll call Louise and Jeremy to help out" she said with a smile. It always amazed me how she could go from super angry to super nice.
Jake, Quil, and Leah came strolling in.
"Hey Lil" Leah greeted.
"Leah" Lil greeted back.
Leah was really pleased when I imprinted on Lilith. Apparently she met all her expectations for a sister in-law. I was worried they wouldn’t get along seeing how hard headed they both were. But they had a connection through pain and loss. They had never met but a shared suffering bound them, there shared love for me made that bond stronger.
"You all ready?" Jake asked.
"Ya coming" I said.
I kissed her on the lips and hugged her
"I'll be back soon" I promised. "Be safe".
"My middle name” she smiled. I'll call the others to help, don’t worry" she smiled.
Sara P.O.V
Me and Embry were alone in my room on my bed. We were just laying there staring into each others eyes. He gently played with my hair between his fingers and I gently ran my thumb over his cheek. He was so warm; I could feel the blood underneath his cheek. I had no desire to drink it, his smell made him seem unappealing as a snack. But smell aside he was definitely a main course.
I was glad I couldn’t blush no more. I would die if Embry knew I was making food references on his appearance. Something must have shown on my face because he smiled.
"Your thinking dirty thoughts"
"No I’m not" I said to quickly.
"Yes you are I can tell"
"How?"
"Your face; you still make the facial expression you would when you are embarrassed." he explained.
"Hmmmm! I hate being so easy to read." I complained.
"I like it, I always know was I standing with you" he said kissing a strand of my hair.
"You love my hair don’t you?" I asked.
"It’s so weird you were a dirty blonde, but now your hair is like golden silk. It looks even darker when you let it spill onto your skin. That’s another thing your skin it was like a milky kind of pale now it’s like moonlight"
"You sure do know how to make an ugly girl feel pretty" I said.
He looked at me with gentle but stern eyes.
"Sara we had this talk you were beautiful as a human, being a vampire just increased that".
"I still cant believe it you know all of this. One minute I’m living my life, going to school, taking care of my mom, trying to live some semblance of a life. Then he came and took that from me and now here I am." I said chocking back a sob.
"It’s not too bad is it?" he asked kissing my forehead.
"No....and yes" I said.
"Is something wrong?"
"I love everyone. The Cullens I mean brooding Edward, adorable Nessie, quite Jasper, spazy Alice, big brother Emmett, big sister Rose, reserved Bella, fatherly Carlisle, and motherly Esme. I love you and your friends...but I...I I miss my mother Embry. I wish she was here" I said my voice cracking.
"Why?" he asked dumbfounded "Why of all the things in the world to want why would you want that?"
"She was my mother" I said simply "Mother is god on the hearts and lips of all children".
"Huh?"
"Something my mom once said. Before my dad left, before she became angry and bitter" I leaned into him putting my face into the crook of his neck. "Did I tell you about what happend? When he killed her?" I asked and I felt him tense. "For as long as I can remember I always tried to make her happy. I worked hard, studied hard, I made myself the picture girl for chastity, I had no friends couldn’t risk them seeing her when she was drunk. All that my entire life and never once did she say she was proud or she loved me, so I tried even harder. All these years all the sweat and tears and I never earned her approval, it wasn’t until he sunk his teeth into her and sucked her dry that she did the one thing she had never done in years. She looked me in the eyes smiled and told me she loved me....how messed up is that?"
We sat there in silence him breathing and me, just laying there like a dead lump. He pulled back to look me in the face.
"I'm sorry you had to suffer for so long. All these years you were abused physically and mentally by your own mother. I can’t even begin to imagine what kind of hell that must be like, but I think your mother was lost. So lost in her bitterness and despair she lost sight of the one thing that mattered most. And it wasn’t until she met her end she finally realized what a fool she had been and tell you how she really felt." he said wrapping his arms around me and hugging me.
Being a vampire is a double edged sword. We are fast, strong, immortal, and some of us even get special powers. And what do we give in return for these? Our ability to have children, Our ability to breath, our gif of tears. I knew I was crying, my face didn’t change and no liquid came down my face but I knew if I was still human there would be tears. I know this because I’ve spent my whole life crying. Was I doomed to spend my undead life crying as well?
Embry P.O.V
"Sara there’s something I need to tell you" I said. I hated to do this but she needed to know how bad things were in Forks. "You know I love you right?"
"Yes"
"Well the thing is…" I said trying to spit it out and tell her. Damn Sam, damn him and the elders for this. "You know how there are two packs right?"
"Yes you told me."
"Well that day when your power manifested. Well some of my pack members got really spooked by it and went blabbering to the other pack"
"The ones that don’t like the Cullens?"
"Ya them. Well they learned about the incident and went complaining to the elders and we all had this meeting and..."
"I’m not exiled or something am I?" she asked nervously.
"No, no" I said quickly "But Sam got the elders all worried and stuff, they will let you return but only when you get a better hold on your ability. And...if it ever happens again accident or not then they'll hunt you down and…" I trailed off unable to finish.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Before we could say come in the door opened and Alice and the blonde bitch from hell A.K.A Rose walked in. Alice looked nervous Rose looked pissed.
"We were on our way to get you to when we heard" Alice said.
"You go to your elders and you tell them if they lay so much as a single finger on her there will be hell to pay!" Rose snarled.
"Rose calm down" Alice hissed.
"No I wont. I’m sick and tired of having to tip toe around these stupid mongrels and there stupid rules. They have the balls to try and tell us how things are going to be when they tried to break the treaty and kill Bella and Nessie!"
Shit I didn’t want Sara to know about that!
I growled at her and she hissed.
"What are you talking about?" Sara asked and I began to panic.
"Didn’t he tell you" Rose sneered "When Bella became pregnant we were all shocked. We didn’t know a vampire and human could produce a child, and when the wolves found out they were going to attack us and kill Ness before she could be born. They knew it would kill Bella but they didn’t care what was one human to the many?"
"Shut up!" I demanded.
"Rose that’s enough!" Alice demanded.
"No she needs to hear this" Rose said "I’m not going to let her be hurt by those things"
"We’re not things we’re humans"
"No your shape-shifters!"
"More human then you are!"
"What happened?" Sara asked "I want to know."
"Luckily Jake broke off from Sam’s pack and Leah and Seth joined him"
"But Embry did to didn’t he?" Sara asked looking between the three of us. "Alice?" she asked and Alice went to hug her.
"Embry didn’t join till after she was born. He was going to do it; he was going to kill an innocent girl and her unborn child?"
"NO! I wasn-"
"Fine you were going to keep us preoccupied while your friends did the deed"
"It wasn’t... we didn’t know we were…"
"What scared?" she laughed "Big bad wolves scared of a fetus how pathetic".
"Embry is that true?" Sara asked her eye's sad and disappointed, god how I hated the blonde bitch right now.
"Yes" I said "I wanted to join me and Quil when Jake formed his pack but Quil didn’t want to leave because of Claire and Sam wouldn’t let me out of his sight" I explained.
"But..if Jake didn’t pull away from your pack you would have done it. Your pack can say there more human then us; you can say your more honorable. But the truth is your nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. We uphold our end of the bargain, we are willing to change our lives to avoid our blood singers, we keep the stupid treaty and we trust you to help us fight for our lives. Then in a second you break the treaty all because you’re scared. And now when we have the situation under control your lot has to come swooping in and screw everything up"
"ENOUGH!" Sara screamed.
We all stared at her in shock, she never screams.
"Just enough" she said weakly.
"Come on sweetie Carlisle needs to talk to us all" Alice said "Well talk about this later" she then hissed at Rose.
Damn it all, will Sara let me explain my side of the story? Or have I already lost her?
Fusedtwilight: Ok so I know Rose was sticking her nose where it dont belong. But next chapter we'll see her P.O.V and see why she did it. And the vampire who attacked Sara comes for his prize.
