If I Could Wish Upon Tomorrow

Chapter 1

Silence echoed around Embry as he sat on the forest floor picking numbly at a flower he had found. So much had changed. It changed so fast, he hardly had time to blink. Sam left the pack and stopped phasing. Soon he'd never be able to phase again. He'd finally be able to live a normal life. Now they were all under Jacob's rule, which he didn't mind. He just minded the constant thoughts in his head. Almost everyone had imprinted. It was sickening hearing their voices so saturated with love in his head; he just wanted to tear the love right out of them. But he never would, he never could.

He was so concentrated on the flower in his hand that he didn't even hear the thing that was slinking around in the trees surrounding him. He crushed the flower to a pulp in his hand easily. He shook off the mush that was left stuck to his palm and sighed as he stood back up. He was about to turn to go home when he realized that it was too late. He saw it in slow motion. From the forest jumped a pale white figure with smouldering blood red eyes, fixated on him.

It landed in the small clearing and it licked its lips. It gave him a sickly grin and jumped at him. He opened his mouth to howl, he tried to phase, but all he could do was close his eyes. He felt it knock him to the ground. It hurt allot. He felt the leech's hand grab his arm, as he thudded tot eh ground his bare back scraping against the wooded floor. He felt the sticks, and roots scratch down his back. He opened his eyes for a moment to stare death in the eyes.

He opened his eyes to see the leech, she was pale like the Cullen's but she was very different. Her red eyes burned through him, her pupils so big he could only see a thin line of red. Her shoulder length black hair was matted and knotted filled with leaves and twigs, a couple of flowers too. Her lips were painted red, probably in blood he thought dimly as she stared down at him crazily she pulled herself away from him for a moment so she could rush in for the kill.

Everything changed.

The creature was knocked off of him, its claws scraping across his skin he let out a quick cry of pain as he saw the leech that attack him fighting with a female. Another leech? He thought. It couldn't be. It smelled too different. She wasn't sickly sweet. He didn't think to phase, he didn't even think to run. He only watched like he was forced to, unable to turn away. Finally the leech that attacked him was thrown into a tree. It crumpled to the ground having lost a few limbs. The other woman stood up for a moment and fell to the ground.

"C'mon be home, be home, be home!" said Embry aloud getting quite impatient. He at the woman over his shoulder he was careful not to touch her bare skin. The mansion was just as he'd remembered it to be. The Cullens must be home, he could smell them, he was about to knock again when the door swung open.

"Embry." Said Carlisle. "What....?"
"I was attacked, in the forest. She saved me. He said shifting the woman on his shoulder. He knew she was awake he could feel her breathing. Carlisle nodded.

"Bring her here." He said moving out of the way so Embry could get by. Embry hastily put her down on the couch he was told to. He immediately stepped back and closed his eyes, hoping she was alright.

Carlisle looked down at the immoral. Curious. She was indeed beautiful, but strange. Her long black hair fell almost pin straight passed her waist. She was almost the exact same skin tone as Embry and the other Quiletes. She had no heart beat, and yet she skin was flaming hot. He brushed a hand over her soft forehead. Around her left eye was a silver scar that had a few droplets of blood around it. Presumably from today.

"What are you?" said Carlisle quietly. Her eyes snapped open. Carlisle smiled genuinely at her. He recognized her golden eyes. "Who are you, may be a little more polite, I apologize." The woman sat up.

"Kaya." Said the woman staring back into Carlisle's golden eyes. She found comfort there. "And you are...?"

"Carlisle Cullen. You happened to stumble across a friend of mine. We live in a permanent settlement here in Forks. By your beautiful eye colour I presume you are of the vegetarian diet?" he asked still looking into her eyes.

"Yes. You presume correct Carlisle." She said softly. "I heard about a clan living here from one up in Denali, I decided to come and find you. I hope I didn't cause any trouble."

"You did no harm. I do have a few questions for you..." said Carlisle sitting on the coffee table in front of her. "...You are different from us. I was curious as to know why you aren't well, cold if you will."

"Good question Carlisle. The answer is simple enough – "

"Hello!" called a voice at the open front door. "Anyone home?" The woman was instantly silenced as a young man entered the room. The smell of him was so familiar that it made the woman stand up. He was obviously native. His eyes scanned the room and stopped on the woman. "Who...are you?" he asked staring at her for a moment. He seemed bewildered about her smell as well.

"Kaya." She said simply. "Who are you?" she responded her voice was soft and melodic.

"Jacob." he said just as simple. They stared at one another for a few moments before Embry shifted his weight. "Embry. What are you doing here?" he asked his head whipping in Embry's direction.

"I, um. She saved me form a lee- I mean other vampire..." said Embry looking quite embarrassed. He still looked at the floor, he could have kicked himself. He hated having to be saved by a leech.

"Oh. Well. Thanks." He said to Kaya who was still staring at him. She blinked a couple of times than nodded. "It's my pleasure. I've always protected humans." With that she smiled and turned to look at the guy she'd saved her golden eyes caught his as he turned to look at her.

Once again, everything changed.

His world was thrown into another orbit.

Her heart was almost restarted as it was tugged almost painfully towards one single point.

He blinked his eyes. Nothing had changed.

She continued to stare, still in shock.
