Okay so this is my first Embry story and I'm sorry if the way I see him doesn't completely capture how you viewed him, but I am taking into account his character in both the book and movie which were soft-hearted, introverted (not gonna say shy cause that's not how he comes off to me), and sweet. Also the nickname he calls Elise is pronounced Lee-sey, I was going to use Elle but then I was like no I want something that seems soft and unique which is Lisie came from. Anyhoo enjoy my lovelies and I will be back sometime soon with more!
Elise
"Is this really how you want do this?!" He asked softly.
I didn't stop stuffing my clothes into the duffel bag as I spoke, "Yes, this is exactly how I want to do this Embry."
I spun around to face him and it took everything in me not to burst into tears right there, he looked exhausted and his eyes were shining no doubt from tears that he refused to let spill. I looked away from him as I let out a breath and then I hurried out of the room, I could hear footsteps following after me and I all but ran towards the front door, bursting through it out into the bitter cold.
"Elise, don't do this! Running is never the right answer and you should know that better than anyone else!" Embry called after me.
His voice quivered as he spoke and I curled my free hand into a fist, I spun around to face him and I felt a few tears fall down my cheeks.
"This what I do, I run when things become too much for me to handle and I can't handle this right now. You are never home, Embry, and I need you to be there because I can't keep going through my days without you. I miss you, I fucking miss you babe, but you are gone when I go to bed and most of the time you aren't even there when I wake up." I said my voice breaking.
I let out a humorless laugh as I wiped at my face, I quickly looked away from Embry as I mentally cursed myself for it always coming down to this; an involuntary shiver ran through my body as the wind current picked up and I suddenly realized that he was standing outside in a pair of loose cut-off's. How was he not cold? My mind raced through every possibility and suddenly the little pieces began to click together, all the times I saw him with Sam and his little posse, all the stories Nona and Poppy used to tell me about the men who became wolves to protect their people.
"Elise, I wish I could tell you what's going on and please believe me when I say that I want to tell you, but I am not allowed too. It's killing me that I can't tell you, Lisie and I can't lose you because of this, so I am begging you to just stay." Embry said slowly walking towards me.
A nervous laugh left my lips as I brought up one of my shaking hands to brush my hair out of my face, I opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was uncontrollable laughter.
Embry stopped walking and looked at me perplexed, my bag slid to the ground and my arm wrapped around my stomach as I bent over still laughing.
"Oh my god, I can't believe that I didn't see it sooner! I mean it was right in front of me this whole time and I didn't see it." I said after a minute.
A short gasp left my lips as I stared at Embry who still seemed confused at my sudden outburst of laughter.
"You're one of the protectors, that is the only logical reason for you never being around anymore and if Sam is pissed that I know, then I'll tell him straight up that you had nothing to do with me finding out." I said after a minute.
Embry stood frozen in his place and another shiver ran through my body as the wind began howling, I moved to pick up my bag when suddenly the ground disappeared from beneath my feet and the bitter cold was replaced with a welcome warmth. My eyes fell on Embry who looked so relieved that I finally knew his secret and it suddenly occurred to me how much I had missed this dork, I wiggled my arms out from underneath his arms and wrapped them around his shoulders as he spun me around.
He placed me back on the ground and grabbed my bag before draping one of his arms across my shoulders and leading me back to the house. I had a lot of questions for Embry and the other guys too, but I decided they could wait till tomorrow because all that mattered was that for now I had my boyfriend back. I couldn't help the sinking feeling I felt in my chest as I wondered for how long I would have him back and I quickly shook the thought away as I wrapped an arm around his waist because that didn't matter; I had Embry and I refused to let anyone, including Sam take him away from me again.
I really hope you lovelies enjoyed this, I know it's short and confusing but if I am being honest that is what I was going for because Embry is a character that was always shrouded in mystery for me and I still want that to be the case here, plus I don't want to give to much away about Elise yet because it's still early on. Don't be afraid to comment down below because even though I don't reply I do read the comments and take into account criticism and squeal in delight at the excitement and compliments in others. All right babes, imma go now! *MUAH* ~Peace
