Chapter 3

Author: sweet three new reviews already, YOU GUYS ROCK.

Sarah's P.O.V

First we drove to Port Angles, I was a little nervous; I had only been there a handful of times. I never had enough time to go anywhere I wanted. I never had a way, when I finally got my license I either went to school, work, or the store, or drove my mom wherever she wanted. I was so nervous, Embry was so sweet, and nice. How did I get so lucky, most guys never even looked at me twice, and if they did they always made fun of me?

"So you live with your mom right?" he asked, and I felt my good mood turn cold. My mom never allowed me to have boyfriends; I was never allowed to have posters of celebs, or sports. I could never talk to her about boys; if I did she would get mad and call me a slut. So to say I was inexperienced with the opposite sex was an understatement.

"Yes" I whispered.

"So, what's she like?" he asked.

"She's...ok" I said.

He seemed confused by my explanation of my mother,

"Does she work?" he asked.

"Umm no she...well she has trouble holding a job, so she doesn't work much, I help bring in the most income" I said.

"So you help support yourself and your mother?" he asked amazed.

"Yes" I said meekly.

"Wow, you must be a hard worker in order to do that, I have a hard enough time taking care of myself, I couldn't imagine taking care of my mom and myself" he laughed.

I laughed with him, he had such a nice laugh. "So where are we going first?" I asked.

"Well how about the mall, then we'll get something to eat, then we'll stop by La Push, how's that?"

"That sounds amazing" I smiled. I have to admit it was nice being with Embry. He was very polite, he asked my opinion, and he never made fun of me. What did I do to deserve such a nice guy?

Embry's P.O.V

She's so shy. Most of the girls I date were very outgoing, and very independent, but she was so quite, and so withdrawn. I felt pity for her, I don't know why but it seemed like she had it rough in life. I wondered if it had something to do with her mother. She really didn't seem to want to talk about her, her eyes became so empty when I mentioned her. We arrived at the mall and we walked in together in silence. We got a few strange looks as we walked in. Me a giant of a man, walking with this pale fragile creature in her clothes that were far too big for her small frame I could only imagine how much larger people saw me when compared to her. "So where did you want to go to?" I asked her.

"Ummm, how about the Borders?" she asked "I've never been there before."

"Really?" I asked.

"Like I said I'm busy with work, so there not much time for fun" she said apologeticly. Why is she apologizing?.

We went to the borders and we browsed around. She was looking through some gardaning books, and I was browsing through some sports books.

"Hey Embry" she said walking over with a book in her hands.

"What is it?"

"It's a book on mythological creatures" she said showing me the cover. It was a full moon in the shape of a cat like eye. It was very thick, for a normal person it would be easy to lift, but I was surprised she could. "It has all kinds of entrees on creatures from all over the world" she said opening the book "And look at these pictures, they're well drawn" she said, "I love books like these, I read all the time" she said.

"What's your favorite?" I asked curiously.

"Call me old fashioned but I always had a thing for vampires and werewolves" she said.

"Huh imagine that" I said grinning, "What's that other book you have?" I asked noticing the other book in her hand.

"Oh it lists all the extinct and endangered plants in the world" she said pulling out the book and showing it to me.

"You going to buy them?"

"No" she said sadly, "I don't have enough, I only have twenty dollars on me right now" she said "Money is tight so I have to watch what I spend" she said.

She only had twenty bucks to spend? What kind of teenager has only twenty bucks to spend on themselves?

"How much are they?" I asked.

"60 Dollars why?" she asked.

"If you want I'll buy them for you" I said.

Her eye's got really big "Oh no, you don't have to it's my own fault for not having enough money" she said.

I waved my hand "It's ok, besides you're my date I'm supposed to spend on you" I said smiling.

She blushed a shade of red that on her pale cheeks looked crimson, "You really shouldn't, I don't want you to thinking I'm mooching of you" she said.

"Sarah, I'm offering it's fine" I said taking the books from her and taking them to the counter to buy them.

"You really didn't have to buy them for me" she said holding the bag holding the books to her chest.

"It's ok, do you want me to carry your books for you?" I asked.

"No" she said holding the bag close to her chest

"You bought me these books, it's only fair that I carry them" she said firmly.

I smiled at how nice she was, it seemed pointless though, I could tell how tough it was for her to carry her bag. I should just snatch it from her, but she was soooo determined to make up for me buying her stuff. I hope she didn't think I was imposing on her.

Sarah's P.O.V

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, he bought me something. What am I going to do? It's been so long since someone bought me something, I never even got Christmas presents, we (and I mean my mom" celebrated holidays (and everyday) with a shot of jack...or a bottle. I can't believe he bought me something, I feel so horrible. Here we are on a date (Blush) and I'm making him buy me stuff, how shameful. How am I supposed to repay such kindness. I need to buy him something, what can I get him that's worth twenty bucks? We stopped by a store in the mall called Hot Topic. It was...weird, there was a lot of metal and black, and the music was very angry, screechy, and kinda depressing. There were clothes there for women that made me blush. If only I was that good looking to wear something like that. Embry was showing me a few CD's called Iron maiden and Metallica, how could someone so nice like such angry and scary music. We looked at some clothes, Embry picked out a new shirt and he passed a mannequin that wore a black Shirt/vest it was designed to show off a girl's curves and had a skirt that was just above the knees. There were shoulder straps that would help keep the front from slipping. Embry must have thought I was interested because he came up to me grinning, "Like it? It would look good on you" he said and I blushed.

"Don't be silly, I have an ugly body, I wouldn't look good in that" both Embry and the man working behind the counter which was right by the mannequin's both gave me looks of utmost disbelief and shock.

"Uh, Sarah are you crazy! You have a killer bod, I mean it's a little large for you because of your weight" he said.

"What do you mean? I'm too big to were that?" I said.

His eye's got big "What! Sarah if anything is large it's me, your...no offense but I have to ask, Sarah are you anorexic?" he asked with concern.

He's so sweet, he actually thinks I'm skinny, how nice, if deluded,

"Thank you Embry you don't have to pretend I'm normal or anything I know i'm beefy" I said with a smile.

"Sarah I'm telling you the truth" he looked to the man behind the desk, who was trying to ignore our conversation,

"Hey dude, you think she fine right?" he asked the man.

"Yes, bit skinny for my tastes but I'm willing to make an exception" he said with a leer.

"I'll take the shirt thanks." Embry said with a growl tossing the man the shirt.

"Embry, you don't have to lie about it" I said feeling a little self-conscious now.

"Sarah, who ever told you are fat is a liar" he said shaking his head.

"It was my mother" I whispered.

"What!" he said, but I knew he heard me.

He took the bag from the man and we walked out of that place, "It was my mother, she always tells me how I'm fat, how my breasts are too large, how my eyes are to squinty, how shiny my hair is because of grease" I said.

Embry had a look of shock and anger "Sarah does your mother abuse you?" he demanded.

"No, she doesn't it's just she, has a problem, and she gets frustrated is all" I said shaking a little under his intense gaze.

"Does she hit you?" he asked.

"No" I lied looking at the ground.

He stopped walking and raised by head to look me in the eyes.

"Does she hit you?" he repeated the question.

"Sometimes" I whispered my eye's misting.

"Oh Sarah" he said and wrapped me in a hug.

He was very warm; his skin was practically on fire, his arms so big and powerful, he was more than capable of hugging me and himself do to his large arms. I hugged him back for what it's worth, I hugged him as hard as I possibly could. When you've lived your life in a cold environment, you find the greatest comfort in the tiniest warmth.

Embry P.O.V

I was beyond angry. How could a parent be so abusive towards their own child? I wasn't going to let her go home, come hell or high water I wouldn't let this girl in my arms return to that abuse. I don't care why, I'm a wolf I have the means to protect her. So what if I just met her? How can you leave someone like this when you learn what they have been through?

"Are you ok?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine" she said wiping her face of any tears.

"Listen lets get something to eat ok, then I'll take you to my place where we can figure some things out" I said rubbing her shoulders comfortably.

"Embry I can't leave her" she said.

"Why not?" I demanded.

"She's my mom" she whispered, "I can't just leave her all by her self, she wouldn't survive, she is incapable of taking care of herself" she said.

"So what she leeches off you and treats you like scum? That's not love, that's disgusting" I said. "Look I know the police chief; we'll call him and tell him the situation with your mother".

"No I can't she's on paper for the next seven years, if I bring in the law she could get into serious trouble" she said shaking her head.

"Sarah, look how she treats you, why do you want to protect her?"

"Because no matter what she has done to me, she's still my mother, she could have given me up, or tossed me out, but she kept me, I still love her Embry after all the horrid things she's done to me I still love her, I'm pathetic huh?".

"Not pathetic" I said wiping her eyes with my thumb, "You're just a good person is all" I said lowering my face to hers.

"Embry" she whispered and we kissed. It wasn't passionate, it wasn't rough, it was gentle, and sweet. I gently laid my lips on hers, and she kissed back.

"Wow!" she said softly "That was my first kiss" she said touching her lips gently.

"Really?" I asked surprised and she nodded.

"Embry I'm sorry I have put you through all this trouble" she whispered.

"Don't apologize" I said "Now let's go get some lunch ok" I said.

She nodded and we walked to get something to eat at one of the pizza places in the mall.

Sarah's P.O.V

Wow...my first kiss. I can't believe it. I feel so many things Happiness, nervousness, fear, trepidation, confusion. I had no idea what was going to happen next, how could I, I knew that there was no way Embry was just going to let this go, he was very determined and I knew there was nothing I could do. We walked over to a pizza shop, and sat down on one of the tables. "Ok what do you want? He asked.

"Umm, do they have a salad here?" I asked.

"It's a pizza shop" he said smiling.

"Oh, then I'll just have a glass of water" I said.

"Sarah, you need to take better care of yourself, here I'll get us a medium sized pepperoni and cheese pizza" he said.

"That's very fattening" I said.

"You'll only have to have one piece, the rest is for me" he said.

"You're going to eat a whole pizza by yourself!" I said, how much could he eat?.

He grinned at me "What can I say, I'm a growing boy" he said patting his tummy.

"Ok, but I can't promise I'll eat the whole slice" I whispered.

He walked up to the counter to order the pizza, he came back with a box and two cups of Pepsi,

"Thanks I think this is the most I've ever eaten" I said as I picked up a slice of pizza.

"No problem, so what is your mother's name?" he asked.

"Helen" I said.

He stopped eating his second slice mid bite

"You don't mean Helen Saunders do you?"

"Her reputation precedes her" I said.

"Jesus" he muttered "How can someone like you be related to such a wreck like that".

"She wasn't always like that, my dad and her got married because she was pregnant with me, it happened soon after they graduated high school, she showed me pictures of what she looked like before she had me, before I made her ugly" I whispered sadly.

"She blames you for how she looks, sweetie every woman gets fat when they have a baby, it's what they do to make up for it that counts" he said angrily, "Listen I really think you should come over to my place tonight ok, I won't be bothered and my mom won't care, hell all we have to do is tell her your her daughter and she'll practically adopt you" he said.

"She knows my mom?"

"No offense but anybody who has been to the local bars on a Friday night knows her" he said.

"Sorry" I said, I knew what she was capable of when she was drunk, it was the kind of stuff you saw on cops.

"Don't apologize for her, she screwed her life up and now she is trying to screw yours up"

"No she's not she's just angry is all" I said trying to defend my mother.

"She's jealous of you, here she is all alone and bitter, and instead of appreciating such a beautiful, and talented kid, she becomes this angry and jealous beast with no appreciation for the good things in life like family" he said. "She abuses you physically and emotionaly, and it's time it stopped, she's held you back Sahra, your smart and hot, you could do great things if you had the chance".

"But what should I do?" I whispered.

"Come with me to my place tonight, tomorrow we'll sort everything out" he said taking my hand in his.

I sat there thinking for a few seconds, could I do it? After all these years could I just leave my mother?. How could I? She was still my mother, who would take care of her. But the promise of a life of friendship, and love was too much to resist. "Ok" I said, "Mom shouldn't be home tonight, we can stop by my place and grab some stuff, is that ok?"

"That's fine, let me call my mom and let her know ok" he said.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone, "Damn, forgot to turn it on" he said switching his phone on. "Jeez look at all these missed calls and texts" he said. "Uh oh, better take these, I'll be right back" he said getting up and walking away to make a call.

I stood there and took a few bites of my pizza, it was really good. I couldn't believe what I had been missing, maybe I would have (Gasp) another slice. Maybe...I would be really adventurous and finished my Pepsi. Then it happened. You ever get that chill down your back? That spine tingling feeling that someone, or more something is watching you? Well I did, I looked around the court looking at the other tables watching the other patrons as they laughed and ate there food. Then I saw him from across the mall. He was on the third floor, next to the stairs, he was very beautiful, like an angle, his skin so pale it was white and flawless. The only creepy part was his eye's, they were a burgundy color and looked very sinister, and they were staring right at me.

Embry P.O.V

I stepped away from the table a bit so Sarah wouldn't over hear my conversation. I called Jake after listening to some of his calls. "Jake" I said after I heard his phone click.

"Embry? Were the hell is you?" he asked.

"I'm at the mall in Port Angles why?" I asked.

"Listen you're on a date right?" he asked.

"Yeah about that she-" but he cut me off.

"Look you need to bring her back here now!" he said firmly.

"What why?" I asked.

"Alice had a vision of the girl...as a newborn Leech" he said.

I felt my heart skip a beat "What do you mean she's a human, I should know!"

"She is now but sometime in the future she gets changed" he said.

"Why?"

"We don't know Alice hasn't been able to get a clear vision of the girl because you're with her, we think some nomad might try and attack her, but were not sure, bring her here ok": he said.

"I was planning to" I said.

"What? Why?"

I explained to him the situation "Her mother is Helen Strouse? Jesus, I shudder to think that woman breeding" he said.

"The mother may be ugly, but the daughter is a work of art" I said.

"Either way, bring her here, we'll figure out what to do next then ok?" he said

"Ok I'm taking her to her place first then we'll go to my place" I said.

"Alright be careful" he said and hung up.

I called my mom next to let her know to get the guest room ready. "Hello" she answered.

"Mom it's me".

"Oh high sweetie how's your date going" she said.

"I need you to get the spare room ready"

"What why?"

"Because I'm brining home my date".

"Ok don't you think it's a little early to move her in?".

"It's not a laughing matter mom" I sighed.

I explained to her the situation. "Your telling me that drunken fat whore from the pits of hell has a daughter and has been abusing her? Hell yah you bring that poor girl here sweetie, I'm calling Charlie right this instant, Him and Helen are old friends, they met plenty of times at the police station if you know what I mean" she said.

"Alright we are going to stop by her place and pick up some of her stuff" I said.

"Be careful, and sweetie, you're a good person for doing this I'm very proud of you" she said.

We hanged up and I walked back to our table. Sarah was still eating and I was pleased to see she was on her second piece. "Hey everything is set, you ready?"

"Yeah" she said she sounded unnerved.

"It's going to be ok" I said.

"Oh it's nothing it's just" she said looking to the upper floor.

"What?"

"There was this guy, he was just staring at me" she said and I stiffened "He had these reddish eyes but as time passed I could have sworn they flashed black" she said.

"Where is he?" I asked looking around.

"He was right there, but he just disappeared" she said sounding perplexed.

"Lets go" I said grabbing her hand.

We left the mall and made it to my car without incident, but I knew better to let my guard down, I think I found the vampire that would turn Sarah, or rather he found us.

Alice P.O.V

I was with Japer. We had just returned home. Jacob had called us and let us knows Embry was returning to La Push, when I had a vision.

There was a woman she was in her thirties. She was a very plump woman, she obviously had little work to do, her hair was messy and had lots of split ends. She was at her house she was angrily pacing back and forth. "Where is she!" the woman roared. "I come back and she's not here! Where could she be? I swear to god as soon as she gets here I'm beating her ass! I come home expecting a warm dinner instead there's not a damn thing, just she wait!" she continued angrily.

"Alice" Jasper said coming to my side "What is it? What did you see?"

"Nothing, nothing important, I wonder who that woman was?" I wondered.

Author" Next chapter Sarah has a run in with a cold one, and her mother came home earlier then expected, what will Embry do when he sees how Sarah is treated?. Please review
