My first shot at a Embry/OC Fic. I think he's sort of neglected but i like him so here it is. Enjoy.
"Alexander Blackfox."
"Like the actor? So it's a dude you're having me drive with you to pick up? C'mon Em. You could have at least warned me." Jacob Black grinned.
"Nothing to warn you about. The truth is my old woman said it's a girl. She didn't really elaborate, just told me that this girl will be living with us for the rest of high school. She'd doing a favor for a friend." Embry answered back, smiling. He and Jacob were heading to Seattle International Airport to pick up the new girl. Embry weaved his 4cylinder jeep around the airport traffic and double-parked. He hoped they would be able to find the girl and get back before he got a ticket, which was why he brought Jacob along. Embry pulled out a piece of paper from the backseat and hopped out. On the paper stated the girl's name.
"Are you seriously gonna hold that up?" Jacob chuckled. "Let's be real now. You want someone to steal her identity?!"
"Shut Up! You got a better idea? We don't have a picture." Embry checked his watch, "and her flight landed twenty minutes ago."
"Well shouldn't we walk into the terminal to see where she is? Maybe hold up your nifty sign there, buddy." Jake teased.
"Well how about you walk around this little area here and help out just in case I am standing in the wrong spot."
"Well how about you go right and I go left and maybe I'll pass her right by since I have no clue what she looks like."
"Well she's not that hard to spot, I guess. Short, black girl, I dunno, wearing black from what my mother said."
"Embry, look around, everybody here is short by our standards. And in this crowd a black girl with straightened hair can look like a Hispanic, if she has the right skin tone, and maybe even Native American with the right features, okay. And Black… half the damn population is wearing black."
"Are you guys done arguing yet?" a voice from behind asked. The two guys spun around and looked down at the female standing before them. Her hair was short A-line cut, skin the color of coffee mixed with milk and full lip-glossed lips. Aviators covered her eyes, a grey tokidoki hoody under a black raincoat, black jeans and grey and white checkered Nike airforces. The girl reached up to Embry's sign, snatched it and ripped it in two.
"Listen to your friend, buddy, I could have easily blended in with this crowd and left. Luckily for you I didn't want you to worry too much or take the fall. Aunty can be little neurotic at times." Alexander stated scowling. The two guys exchanged glances at each other.
"Go get my luggage and then we can talk." She pointed in the direction of a cart with four huge duffle bags and three smaller ones. "So which one of you tall, fine men is Embers?" She smiled slyly. Embry cleared his throat.
"It's Embry, Embry Call. This is my best friend Jacob Black." Embry retorted. This girl was rude. She was just rubbing him the wrong way.
"Whatever! Luggage there, bring here, let's go. I wanna see what I got to work with." Most definitely the wrong way.
"We're not you're servants. We're only doing a favor for my mother who is thus doing your mother a favor. I can see now why they sent you away!" Embry snapped. The two stood glaring at each other.
"Chauffeurs are hired to do what they are told. So we got two options, you leave my ass behind and I buy the next ticket to some other city with my own money, therefore you two being the last two people to see me with witnesses of course," Alexander waved her hand around, "OR you can just load the trunk and we could be on our merry way, Savvy?!" Alexander plastered a triumphant smirk on her face and Jacob then interjected.
"Uh! I got this Em. Just open the trunk. Alright?" Jacob scooted over to the luggage cart and started to grab the bags. Alexander watched as him his muscles flexed under the form-fitting t-shirt. The smirk that was on her face told it all, she was interested. Turning her back on Jake, Alexander looks back at Embry.
"Get the door, Embers!" she said sweetly.
"Yes your royal highness." Embry jerked the door open, nearly breaking it off the hinge. "Get in!" She slid into the back of the truck and slammed the door behind her, rocking the jeep. After Jake loaded up the bags, Embry whispered vehemently, "and I have to lie with that for the next two years." Jacob just smiled apologetically, and hopped into the front seat.
The first ten minutes were in silence and then Jacob decided to break it.
"So Miss Alexander Blackfox, where you from? How old are you?" he asked playfully, turning to look at her.
"New York City. But I was originally raised in Venezuela. I'm the same age as you… I believe," she said finally taking off her aviators. "Sixteen, soon to be seventeen in October." Out of one of her bags she fished her glasses case out and switched. Pushing them up the bridge of her nose, Alexander looks up to see Embry looking at her through the mirror and Jake grinning. Her eyes were hazel and gleamed because of the black eyeliner. Jacob whistled.
"Well aren't you a looker?!" he joked.
"Careful, I might take that as you're interested." She smiled genuinely, her Cainine teeth sharper that the rest, then turned to look out the window. "So where are we heading? I tried to ask my mom but everything was all hush hush for some reason. That leads me to believe it's the Boondocks- hopefully."
Jacob laughed, "That's ironic, 'hoping'. You'll see when you get there. You have a Native American last name, you a mixed breed?"
"Okay, 1) don't call me a mixed breed. 2) Native Americans don't exactly have that high of a social standing they're known as pretty poor, from which you see I am not. Which leads me to 3) No. I am not Native American… not fully at least. Most just think I'm Hispanic and I don't bother correct them either. I lived through far too many poor jokes or casino jokes than I care to answer for. Part of that is the reason why I was sent here." She mumbled the last sentence almost in audibly but Jake's hearing caught it.
"That's an insult to us." Jacob said seriously.
"My apologies. I'm not trying to clump you into the stereotype but not everyone loves what he or she is connected to. I have a friend who hates the fact that she's Chinese. At least I've come to terms with mine. And then I'm getting shipped to a reservation on the other side of the country. That just sparked a whole new discussion on how downgraded I'm going to be. Like I give a fuck, maybe this might be the damn secluded time I need." Alexander looks under her eyelashes at Jacob. "All that still came out all wrong. I guess I'll explain when I'm not hungry. Though I should warn you I am not very good at sparing feelings or explaining things. Embers park the car, we're going to that Thai restaurant."
"What Thai restaurant?"
"The one on the corner and across the street, love. What a poor chauffer you are." She grinned as he scowled.
"We don't have money for that." Jacob teased half serious.
"Don't worry, I got enough for the five of us."
"We eat like the five of us."
"I can see that, you're both freakishly tall, muscular, and whatever is in both you're genes, its damn right!" she joked, jumping out the car and dashing across the street without looking. Embry nearly had a heart attack since she barely missed the zooming Hummer.
"Are you insane?!" He snapped, looking down his nose at her.
"No, just 'ain't afraid to die'." Alexander retorted nonchalantly.
Stepping into the restaurant the three of them were promptly seated. The ambience in the restaurant was smooth and warm compared to outside. The waiter came up and smiled at them.
"Hey. I would like one curried calamari with white rice and one Seafood Singapore meifun! Oh yeah and three Thai iced teas!" Alexander exclaimed happily. Embry thought what a greedy bitch, only getting happy for some food. Then he smiled. Alexander was kind of cute when she wasn't being a wiseass. Jacob and Embry both ordered two dishes each.
"So you eat a lot, yourself." Embry asked as nice as he could.
"Not really. I figured you two might be hungry." Alexander looked up at him slyly.
"You're a real bitch, you know that." Embry furrowed his brows.
"Man, tell me something I don't know. But the truth is I worked three jobs in between my volunteer work and dance practices in order to get the money I have. My parents don't give me allowance, contrary to your thoughts. They made sure I wasn't spoiled. Therefore how I spend my money and who I spend it with is mine."
"That's a good work philosophy." Jacob said.
"Thank god they don't. You'd milk them till they were dry." Embry retorted.
"Shallow aren't I?" Alexander said digging into the food. "Ittedekimasu!" then started stuffing her face. "Ooishi!" The two boys looked baffled.
"Its Japanese for 'Thank you for this meal.' And then 'Delicious.' Try it, Embers."
"It's Embry. How many times do I have to say it?"
"Try it! Try it!" she chanted, "Jake you try. 'Ee-te-de-key-ma-su!'"
"Eetedekeymasu!" Jacob said proudly and laughed.
"Eeeeeemmmmbbbbeeerrrrsss. Try it! Try it! Try it!"
"Fine fine…" he couldn't help but smile. "Ittedekimasu!" he stated matter of factly.
"Oh yeah! You should learn languages! You're pretty good." She complimented then went back to eating. Things were quiet for the most part until they had all eaten their fill and some of each other's too.
"So you said being part Native American is the reason you're here. Explain as best you can." Jacob continued.
"Long story short I bashed the back of his head in with a steel pole that I yanked out of the ground fueled by my temper. Dude had a concussion for two weeks and skull fracture. He said something derogatory about NA nationality, called me a spick, and a wetback, and the n word and then we got into it. My motto is walk away before someone gets hurt. He didn't want to and then he grabbed my arm. So the end result was his hospitalization. My end result was either juvie or lay low because it's not the first time I'm busted for fighting. Technically I see it as me standing up for all different ethnicities right there, the cops wouldn't see that though. Anyways, the real reason he got his ass kicked is because he talked about my mom. And my mom is super intelligent even though her English isn't that damn great. So I bashed his head."
"It scares me how you say that happily. Its like I'm about to live with an axe murderer." Embry sipped on the Thai iced tea.
"I'm sorry. I'll try to be good to leave your side as soon as possible. Just try to keep my temper in check." Alexander waved for the check. "Meh… I've known people who do worse than me. Which is also why I was sent out here. Change of scenery, you know."
The three got up and left. They drove in the car in silence and Alexander fell asleep. Every now and then Embry or Jacob would glance back at her sleeping form and comment on her. They were riding through the outskirts of La Push when they head a bang in the back.
"What the fuck is this!?!" Alexander slammed her hand against the window again.
"They seriously didn't tell you where you were going, did they…" Jacob trailed off looking slightly worried. Embry began to get a huge Cheshire grin on his face.
"Stop the JEEP! STOP THE FUCKING JEEP!" She yelled. Before Embry could even press on the breaks, Alexander already had the door open. Jacob had to reach back across his seat and grab her before she jumped out. When Embry screeched to a stop did she run out in the middle of the road, standing there, shocked, stunned. It was twilight and there was nothing but forest around her. Alexander spun around like she was insane.
"You've got to be kidding me?! NO! no, no, no, and no!" she rounded on them in fury. "If this is some sort of sick joke that you two concocted while I was sleeping, I'm telling you now its not funny! When I was younger I got lost in the forest and it took them a whole day to find me! Freaked me out something right! The middle of fucking nowhere is not the place I need to be. THIS is not funny?! Take me back to Seattle, NOW!" Alexander's fury made her eyes glow in the setting sun and the shadows of the forest.
"Calm down, its not that bad. We've been living here all our lives. Nothing's going to eat you." Jacob knew that was both a truth and a lie. Some of the Cullens are still around, they always attracted trouble, and then there was his pack and Sam's.
"NOTHING TO EAT ME?!" Alexander screeched, "Allow me to explain to you part two of why I am here. I witnessed a murder. Believe it or not I was sent to a psychiatrist because I said I saw a vampire murder a man and drink his blood. Then two more of his buddies showed up with blood still dripping down their chins. I can be a lot of things, a bitch, a complainer, but definitely not a chronic liar. And when I say it was a fucking vampire, I meant it! Everyone thinks its stress and I'm just seeing things when I see him sometimes at night. So sending me to a Podunk town in the backwoods is only presenting him or ANY one of them with a reason to bite. AGAIN!" she shut up and yanked the jeep door open again, and got in. "I can already see you're dragging my ass to La Push, so I might as well go. You guys had better be eaten first, that's all I want to say."
Jacob and Embry exchanged glances and muttered to each other quickly.
"You think we should tell her?" Embry asked doubting.
"No. It could just be a coincidence that she was sent to the safest place that she could be. If it were Forks, the Cullen's would take care of it; on our lands it becomes ours. Don't pry any deeper. Her mother might understand more than she let on." Jacob whispered back.
"HELLO PEOPLE!!! Let's go! It's making me a tad bit uncomfortable being here."
The two got into the car and they left. All were silent even after they went their separate ways.
