Chapter 3: Sitting-Waiting Wishing/ First Sight.
Sitting Waiting Wishing. Kate.
He ran fast, making my eyesight blurred, I could hear them behind us, growling and shouting profanities at Demetri as he ran, he had run so far that I didn't even think we were in Italy anymore. Heck I don't even think we were in Europe anymore. He only stopped when he was sure that the creatures behind us were far behind. He delicately let me down and stared deep into my eyes. I waited for him to speak, but he stayed silent, making things uncomfortable.
"Why didn't you kill me? Why didn't you just leave me?" I asked foolishly, just wanting to end the silence.
He laughed gently as his cool hand brushed my face. His whole body sparkling in the light. I had even put my finger up just to see if it would transfer onto my hand, with no such luck.
"I don't think I could ever do that." He smiled. "For creatures that are so emotionally dependent, you obviously don't know about love at first sight."
He pulled me swiftly and I felt his cool lips hit mine.
Stop it you idiot. Stop now. A motherly voice muttered in my head. You are nothing but a hamburger to a fat man. Plus. He sparkles. It's illogical. I can't have it.
The voice continued coaxing me with a Jonas Brothers line. (Which I had fallen in love with – thanks Mr and Mrs Jonas.) But nothing would break me from him. He was just so… wow. He later turned away cursing himself only to be interrupted by the sounds of rocks grinding in the distance, which put him on alert. He quickly grabbed a hand full of dirt and smirked as he rubbed it on me. "Excuse me! What are you doing?" I smiled.
"Sorry love, but this is to cover up that irresistible scent of yours. I wouldn't want you to be found." He said, as if it was clear to me how good I smelt. If I did smell good, it was gone now. I smelt like leaves, rain and dirt with traces of ant. He handed a ball of mud to me and I proceeded to rub in the dirt.
The familiar growling noise followed by howls got closer and closer. Demetri's eyes widened. He pulled me into a large cave and sat me down. "Stay here until I come back, don't accept help from any beautiful pale people, because we all know that they are bad" He smirked
"Like you?" I smiled. God it had only been a few hours ago when I first saw him, and now. I was so at ease with him.
"I'm different. I'm serious Kate, so wipe that gorgeous smile off you face. Okay so no help from beautiful pale people, if you get hungry, there is a town somewhere nearby; just leave a marker nearby to tell me you are o.k.I'll come to find you. Just please don't fall in love with someone whilst I'm gone " He smirked. The noises got closer and closer, I quickly stood and hugged him.
"Maybe we will get a proper date?" I said in a hopeful tone.
"Maybe." He kissed my wrist, and played with the promise bracelet.
"See you soon." He smirked as he disappeared into the forest.
I sat letting the events sink in. god so much has happened.
"SHIT! Libby!" I shouted remembering I had left her in a nightclub in Italy. Damn it. She would be so mad when she finds out I left her.
I watched outside carefully for his return, but it had taken forever, the sun had long since disappeared and my stomach growled. He will come. He will come. I thought to myself. I felt a small lump in my pocket, and swiftly pulled out what was my trusty blue shuffle. Wow. "How I love you little blue thing" I kissed it and slipped in the earphones, taking it off pause so that it could play I'm yours (Jason Mraz of course), which slowly pulled me into a comforting sleep, filled full of images of Demetri's face. You're a lost cause Kate. You really are. The voice said again.
"Hush" I whispered to myself.
First Sight Embry
I had been running through the woods on high alert, after Sam had smelled a foreign Vampire through the woods.
Keep an eye out. I smelt a human as well. Sam's voice cooed through our heads.
Okay. Embry, take the east side of the forest; I'll take the west.
Thanks Jake. I had thought. I hadn't always known the west side that well.
I turned when all of a sudden; a mixed scent clouded my head, Vampires, along with a bubblegum type smell.
Everybody! Embry has smelt something in the eastside! Move! Sam's alpha tone ordered.
I squinted through the bushes to see a vampire, kissing a girl. A trap!! My head screamed. I slowly felt more and more anger surge through me as I looked at the girl. I quickly turned to face a lady, who growled fiercely, I howled calling out to the pack before tearing her apart, but she wasn't alone, she had two people, one girl and a man.
Embry, go find the girl, get her away from the Vampire. Sam ordered
Will do. I ran away from the scene, leaving the pack to try to kill the creatures.
I ran through the forest searching for her, the bubblegum smell covered up with something.
At least she isn't with the bloodsucker anymore. Sam said.
It was now dark and I was giving up hope until I came across a cave, laced with the bubblegum smell, I doubted walking in until I heard a hush noise. She had to be in here.
Awesome! Seth interrupted
I walked in looking around for her; I quickly glanced in the corner and saw her.
Wow. She had dirt smudged everywhere and her was messy, and yes she kind of snored a little but. She still was. Cute. Pretty. No it wasn't enough.
Beautiful, Em, that's the word you're looking for idiot. Leah commented snidely.
Okay, normally I didn't take shit from Leah. But it didn't matter. She was here.
Okay you love sick pup. We know. You've imprinted. Now phase back so you don't scare her away when she wakes up. Quil voice teased.
I ran out phased changed and ran back in. I slowly walked besides her arguing with myself, whether I should disturb her sleep or not.
"HEY! WAKEUP!" Leah shouted as she walked in startling the girl and me.
"Leah when did you? How did you?" I grumbled.
"Who are you?" The girl said retreating into a ball.
"Embry Call, and this is Leah Clearwater. We live in the reservation, in La Push" I said holding out my hand, slightly shaking of nervousness.
"Kate Taylor" She said as she took my hand. "Where exactly are we?" She questioned, embarrassed as I pulled her up looking at the gold bracelet that sparkled on her wrist.
"La Push, Washington. On the Quileute reservation" Leah replied swiftly.
Her stomach grumbled loudly as we walked out of the dark cave.
"You hungry? I'm sure we could get some food, or something, or you know whatever." I said brushing my hands nervously through my hair.
"Uh. Just a sec." She said running back into the cave, she came back out and I held my hand so that I could lead the way. She took my hand, but her wrist was missing something.
"Uhh. Embry. Could get home. Like now. Please." Leah voice cut through my thoughts.
"Yeah sure." I smiled.
