Eye of the beholder
Chapter 4
Author: it's the moment you've been waiting for!
Rose's P.O.V
Once again we were all in the living room of our home. The mongrel was there, one of his pack rats called him and had this mysterious girl with him.
"So there's the story" Fido said.
"You mean her mom is really Helen Strouse?" Bella asked.
"You've heard of this woman?" Edward asked.
"Yes Charlie mentioned her a few times before, she's a horrible person" she said scrunching her face in disgust.
"I heard of her too" Emmett surprisingly said, "Some of the boys from school would talk about going to the bars and there would be this old fat chick who would try and hit on them, and try to get them to have sex with her, then if they turned her down she would get violent" he said.
"Yeah, I recall hearing about that" Jasper said.
"Wait a minute!" Bella said, "We know Sarah remember? She was that skinny girl, she wore the cloths that were too big for her, she always kept to herself, was really smart" she said.
"I thought she looked familiar" Emmett said, "Hard to believe such a looker came from such a hag" he said and I elbowed him in the ribs.
"So what happens to her now?" I asked still glaring at Emmett.
"Well Embry is going to take her to her house and pick a few things up, then he'll take her home, to his place" Jack said.
Suddenly Alice let out a gasp "Does anyone know what this mother looks like?" she asked quickly.
"Mid-thirty's, fat, bad hair, why?" Edward said.
"How do you know?" Bella asked.
He grinned "Like Emmett I overheard those boys talking, but you forget I got a mental picture of what happened" he said.
"Oh crap!" Alice shouted.
"What's wrong?" Jasper said and I felt a rush of calm, I hated it when he did that.
"The vision I had earlier was of a large ugly woman pacing her house waiting for her daughter to come home and she's planning on beating her good" she said sounding mortified.
"Well let's go" I said standing up.
Everyone stared at me with surprised expressions "Babe I thought you said it was none of our business?" Emmett asked.
"It's not, but the mongrel (Fido let out a growl) is with her, and if he sees her being beaten by her mother don't you think he might get a tad bit angry?" I said, "And I don't think we want him going furry in front of this woman even if she is a drunk" I finished.
I admit I felt bad for the poor girl. I knew what it was like to be abused by someone you cared about. It may be different circumstances, but this girls story has reopened wounds for me that I thought had been healed. My parents may have treated me much better, but they weren't exactly father and mother of the year. It was one thing to be attacked by a drunk fiancé and his friends, but to endure a lifetime of abuse from a parent is beyond the pale. Over the years I had done work in women's shelters and had seen the damage of such things. As a woman, and victim I could not stand by and watch as such a thing happened. "Let's think this through" Carlisle said. "If we all just show up it will most certainly seem odd".
"Then me and Emmett will go, we'll make sure it doesn't get out of hand, we can also keep an eye on her in case the mysterious vampire shows up" I said.
"I think there may be a problem with that" Alice said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because he's on his way there now" she said grimly.
Sarah's P.O.V
We drove in silence to my house. I had the Hebe geebe's. Not just because I was running away, but because of the strange man at the mall, the way he looked at me (shudder) it was like a cat looks at a mouse. Embry saw me shudder and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder,
"It's ok Sarah" he said. I smiled at him and we continued to drive.
When we pulled up to my house I felt my blood turn cold. The lights were on and the car was in the drive way "Oh god" I whispered in horror.
"Let's just leave" Embry said.
"No" I said turning to him, "I need to do this" I said firmly, "I'm leaving her Embry, and I want my stuff now...besides she might try to sell it or burn it later" I said.
"Then I'm coming in with you!" he said opening his door.
"No, please if you go in you have no idea how bad it can get" I said latching on to his arm.
"I am not leaving you alone to deal with her" he said.
"Please Embry" I begged, "Let me do this?"
He sighed frustrated, "Fine but you have five minutes" he said.
"Thank you" I said kissing his cheek.
I opened the door and walked out of the car. I slowly walked to the front door, I wasn't going to stall this, but I wasn't going to rush this either. I opened the door and waited for anything to happen. It was quite to quite. "Mom" I called. There was no answer, maybe she had passed out already. I slowly walked up stairs to my room quite as I could be.
I was tip toeing past my mom's room when I heard whimpering "Please, no please don't hurt me!" it was my mother she was sobbing.
"Mom?" I said walking to her door and knocking. "Mom are you there?" I asked knocking harder.
"No please don't AHHHGGH!" she screamed and I heard a strangle gurgling.
I opened the door and quickly ran in. What I saw will haunt me till the day I die. There was a man in my mothers room, the same man from the mall, he had my mother in a death grip, his mouth pressed to her throat crimson liquid was seeping from her throat. She looked at me with frightened eye's pleading "Sarah" she tried to say, but it came out all gurgled, "RUN!"
"MOMMY!" I screamed. I ran to the man and started hitting him on the back with my fists till they hurt, "LET HER GO GET AWAY FROM HER NOW!" I screamed. He looked at me with his burgundy eyes and sneered, he tossed by mother harshly to the floor, blood was spilling from her wound, "MOMMY!" I shouted rushing to her side. I took her large hand in mine "It's ok" I said shakily, "It's ok mommy I'll...call the police and the ambulance d-d-don't wo-r-ry I'll take care of you" I said in between sobs.
"Sara?" she asked.
"Yes?" I said leaning in closer to her to better hear her.
"My daughter, my beautiful, sweet daughter" she whispered and she went still.
I felt all the air in my body freeze, she was so pale, she wasn't moving "Mom?" I said shaking her a little "Mommy?" I whispered putting my ear to her chest, there was no beat only silence.
I started to sob, tears streamed from my eyes from my eye's like a river. She couldn't be dead, she can't be dead not her not my mommy. My mommy was strong, she didn't just die, "Mom please wake up please" I begged her, but she wasn't coming back not this time.
I was so busy in my grief I had forgotten about the man. He was besides me now looking down at me and my mother with a cold look. "You poor thing" he said, "I had meant to kill her before you had arrived, I apologize, it was not my intent for you to see this" he said.
"YOU MONSTER" I shouted. I jumped up and started beating him with my fists. It was no use he was cold and hard.
He pushed me with his palm, it was a gentle thrust but I went flying into the wall. I banged my head when I hit the surface and I saw stars in my vision. He slowly walked forward to me his walk was feral and animal like, "Like I said I am sorry, I take no pleasure in the suffering of my food, I'd rather have killed you downstairs but you came home sooner than I expected, who is that strange boy with you? Is he a boyfriend? He smells rather repugnant don't you think?" he asked.
"Embry" I whispered.
"What was that?" he asked.
"EMBRY!" I shouted, Embry would save me; he'd protect me from anything.
"My dear he can't hear you, besides what good would he do against me? Now come here I'd rather you didn't struggle" he said reaching for me.
Suddenly the door burst open and there was Embry my knight in shining armor. He took in the scene, my mother, the blood, me on the floor, then his eye's focused on the man "YOU BASTARD" He roared, then he started shaking like he was having a seizure, then before my eyes he eroupted in fur, and claws. Were Embry was there was a giant wolf, it growled viciously at the man his maw revealing dagger like teeth.
"Impossible" the man said in fear.
The wolf that was Embry sparing forward to attack the man, he dodged the jaws by an inch, he wrapped his arms around his neck and threw him out the window, "Embry!" I shouted.
The man who was five feet away was suddenly right up to me like he disappeared and reappeared instantly, he grabbed me by the throat and lifted me up with a single hand, "Your bleeding" he hissed his eyes had turned black, "You must have hit your head harder than I thought" he said sniffing my face like an animal "I wanted to do this slow, and wondrous, your mother wasn't even worth a drain, but you my siren blood you are delectable" he said licking my cheek.
"Please don't" I whispered.
"Shhh it will be over soon, you'll be with your mother in a minute...or five he said.
He lowered his jaw to my neck and I felt his teeth graze my neck, "Put her down!" a female voice hissed.
He turned to face the sound of the voice, there in the doorway was the man and woman from the store, there were two more people, a blond man and a very short girl with very short hair, like the man they were all angelically beautiful.
"Buzz off Barbie, I found her first she's mine!" he hissed.
"I'm not here to drain her, I'm here to save her!" she growled "You won't take her life from her" she said walking forward.
"STOP RIGHT THERE" he growled turning me around to face the couple. They stopped watching me and the man with cautious eyes.
We slowly walked to the window and he jumped out of it with me in his grip. We fell out the window and I fought the urge to scream. The man landed grace fully on his feet like a cat. Embry was still on the ground in his wolf form, he was on his side, but he wasn't alone, there was another wolf it was much bigger than Embry it was red and more scary. There were two more people next to Embry a man with Bronze hair, and a girl with brown hair that had a red sheen to it. "The big wolf growled when it saw us, and the people took a fighting stance, "Put her down!" the man shouted. He seemed familiar, I then recognized him as Edward Cullen, and his bride Bella, police chief Swan's daughter.
The man growled and glanced behind us the others had jumped down, and now we were covered back and front. Embry had raised his head and stared at me with his beautiful wolf eyes. He tried to get up but I think his legs were broken, and the larger wolf kept him from rising. "She's mine I found her first!" the man roared still hold my head in his hands.
"Doesn't matter, let her go and we'll overlook this" Edward said in his musical voice.
"I have a better idea" the man said with a grin.
"NO!" Edward shouted.
I wasn't listening to them, all my attention was to the wolf on the ground. He stared at me with eyes too human for any wolf to posses. He stared at me with a mix of shock, anger, fear, worry, and...love?. "Embry?" I said staring into his eyes with as much love as I could muster, "Embry?" he looked at me with more attention "Embry I love you" I said with a smile.
Then I felt them man twist my head to the side baring my neck, then with a painful thrust he sank his teeth into my neck. I felt a sharp stab of paint, I could feel my blood start to leave me, I could feel his tongue slurping the blood, soon I felt a burning sensation were he bit me, "Delectable" he whispered in my ear then he tossed my at Edward and the wolves.
I landed next to Embry, he was whining, try to reach me. I turned my head trying to ignore the increasing burning feeling in my neck. I saw Embry trying to drag himself over to me "Embry" I whispered extending a hand to him.
Edward and Bella were hovering over me, "Oh God Edward he bit her!" Bella cried, "Can you suck it out like last time?" she asked.
"No" he shook his head, "It's too deep and there was too much venom in that one bite, it's too late" he said.
"Please take me to Embry?" I asked.
They nodded and gently moved me closer to him. I was laying next to him staring into his eyes. He gently licked the tears from my face and I laughed patting him on the side of his muzzle and he began to do that purr a canine does when they enjoy attention. "Embry" I whispered, but suddenly the burning became to strong, it had spread from my neck to most of my face it hurt so bad and it felt like I was on fire. "EMBRY!" I screamed maybe he could save me from this hell, "EMBRY HELP ME I'M BURNING!" I screamed and soon my world was enveloped in the burning pain.
Embry P.O.V
I had weighted but after five minutes I walked into the house, it was empty and so quite, then I smelt that sickly sweet smell "EMBRY!" I heard her shout I quickly ran up the stars and burst through the door. There against the wall with a leech descending to her was a leech, I saw her mother dead on the floor.
I felt the rage come; I stared at the leech and let that dark impulse in me flare to life "You bastard!" I screamed and I phased. I jumped at him preparing to tear him to pieces. I missed him just by an inch; he wrapped his arms around my neck and tossed me out the window. I landed on the ground and felt a leg or two break.
"EMBRY" I heard Jake shout.
"Jake, he's up there help Sarah!" I screamed.
Jake came to my side with Bella, and Edward. "Don't worry Jasper and the others are helping her right now" Edward said.
Suddenly the leech leapt out of the window with Sarah in his arms, the other cullens jumped out after him but didn't ry to rush him. I stared at my poor Sarah she was so pale, "Put her down!" Edward said.
"She's mine I found her first!" the leech screamed.
"Doesn't matter let her go and we'll overlook this" Edward said.
Yeah right were so totally killing this asshole, "I have a better idea" the leech said with a sadistic grin.
"NO!" Edward shouted.
I didn't pay any attention to them I was to busy staring into the eyes of Sarah, sweet, beautiful, kind Sarah, poor Sarah who had lost her only family. "Embry" she said getting my attention, "Embry" she said again and I stared into her eyes, "Embry I love you" she said and my heart soared. Only to plummet as the leech sunk his teeth into her slender neck.
"NOOOOOOOO!" I howled in my mind.
"I'm sorry Embry" Jake whispered.
The leech threw Sarah at us, and then he took off with Jake and the other Cullens in hot pursuit. Only Bella and Edward stayed with us.
"Oh God Edward he bit her" Bella gasped. I tried to crawl to her but my legs refused to work. "Edward can't you suck it out like last time?" She asked.
"No, it's too late, there is too much venom, and it's too deep, she's going to change" he said and I felt my stomach clench painfully. I shouldn't have let her go in alone, I should have saved her!
"Please take me to Embry" Sarah asked Bella, and Edward. They nodded and gently moved her closer to me. She was so close I licked the tears from her face "Embry" she whispered petting the side of my muzzle and I was in heaven, "EMBRY!" she screamed more urgently, "EMBRY HELP ME I'M BURNING!" she screamed.
She started to go into convulses screaming for me to stop the pain.
Sarah...forgive me.
