Have you ever felt like you almost died? Well yeah that how I felt when my life started on the downwards spiral.
I grabbed one of the mirrors by my bed and looked at my reflection. Wow I was like bright red kind of like blood. Knock, knock. Oh crud I didn't want to get up because it was to hot, or at least that's what it felt like. I opened the door to see it was Embry.
"What do you want?"
"Umm… Whoa! What happened to you?" He cocked his head to the side like a little puppy. I blushed but I doubt he could tell.
"Usually it's a nice hi…But anyway none of your business," I almost slammed the door in his face but he put his foot in the way.
"Let me come in," he said urgently.
"No."
"Fine then, are you sick?" I almost felt bad that I didn't want to talk to him. I mean, he really cared about me since he got some fever and started hanging out with Sam Uley. I opened the door a little wider and said;
"No, or at least I don't think so," he put his had on my forehead, taking my temperature. His hand was cool against my forehead.
"Oh, no," he muttered, "Umm, look you need to come with me," he grabbed my wrist before I had time to object.
"Sorry Billy, I just really need to take Ash to Sam. ? Dad's eyes got wide, and then he looked at me sadly. "Why d you need to go see Sam of all people if I have a fever? I mean why not a doctor?" I thought. He started to drag me into the woods.
"Alright, I have two questions," I said more than asked.
"Ask away," he said and stopped and let go of my wrist, but started to pace.
"Okay umm, first whu do we need to go see Sam?" He seemed to stop and think a minute. "Okay, he must be lying to me if he had to think." I thought.
"I guess there is no point in lying to you. Is there?" he sighed.
"Not really, I mean it would be nice for you not to." I said. He gently pushed me down into a place where the roots of a tree opened and made a seat and/or hiding place. He sighed.
"Just stay here and try to stay hidden. I'll explain later, k?"
"Fine," I hate when people never fill me in on what's going on when it's going on. He looked like he was going to say something then stopped and sighed again. He just patted my head and ran off into the woods. I just sat there not really trying to hide, then I saw something move off a little bit. I started to move to try to hide in the roots but a red headed woman grabbed my arm. All of a sudden I heard a familiar voice say, "Get away from her now…or else."
"Humph. If I had a nickel every time I heard that I would have," She said
"A nickel," I interrupted. I bit her hand that was on my arm. Yeah it's more of a seven or eight year old thing not a thirteen year old thing well I'm not a normal thirteen year old so get over it. When I bit her Embry and Sam laughed and idiot let go. She was about to hit me, but I moved out of the roots and closer to the two people, but ultimately failed. She grabbed my arm again but her grip was to tight like, like something really, really tight. (Shut up I like using the adjective really, horrible, and awesome.. none others.) Embry took a step toward her and she moved my arm closer to her mouth. Vampires the wordechoed through my head. He stopped and it looked like he was trying to calculate how many steps it would take to get to her before she could bite me. He was trembling, watching him started to make me dizzy. I looked down, still trying to free my arm from eternal red head slober. I heard a ripping sound. Then I got bitten. A series of thoughts ran through my head. It hurt a lot. She then let go and guessing ran. I was about look up but some one's voice, some one else's voice in my head. It said, don't look up! That honestly scared me more than vampires. The noise died down. I could feel some one (Sam) watching me. I don't think they saw her bite me but I don't think it could be good.
"You know where Emily's house is?" Sam asked.
"Why would I?" I said shakily.
"Just keep walking into the woods and you will eventually reach her house go there and wait," he was serious. Great I thought get to go to a person I don't even knows house! I did as he said, but hid the bit behind my back. Sam jogged deeper into the woods. I headed out to Emily's house.
