Mercy's POV
Seth and his girlfriend Ellie turned up later that day unexpectedly. Renesmee had showed me pictures of them both, communicating through touching someone's neck or face with her hand. Her human scent was unnoticed by the other vampires around be and I didn't realise she was here until she entered the house. Her sent was sent my way as a gust of wind washed inside the house. My throat burned at the smell of her. She smelt divine, like the best thing in the world. I felt the need to sink my into her soft neck. I squeezed my eyes shut as she walked into the room laughing.
"Mer" I heard Edward whisper.
"I'm fine, I can do this" I say through gritted teeth.
"Hi!" Seth, the bubbly wolf, smiled.
"Hey Seth! Did you bring Ellie?" Renesmee jumped up grinning.
"Hi Nessie" Ellie smiled, hugging Renesmee to her chest.
Nessie pulled Ellie to stand in front of me. "This is Mercy."
Ellie's long blonde hair was pulled back in ponytail, exposing her deliciously scented throat. My throat burned as I watched the vein in her neck throb. I felt myself start to growl and quickly bit my tongue. I breathed in carefully, ignoring the feeling that I wanted to rip out her throat. I breathed carefully, slowly getting used to her scent. I could do this, I'm not a monster.
"Hi" I said, looking at the small blonde.
"Hey, I've never seen you here before...your a newborn" she observed. "Your eyes are amazing."
"Ellie!" Seth's hand wrapped round his girlfriend wrist.
Embry, who had been sitting quietly beside me, growled. "She's fine Seth, Mer won't hurt her."
"How do you know that, Embry? She's a newborn!" Seth asked, his arms shaking.
"I trust her" Embry told him.
My still heart seemed to warm, if that was possible. I gave Embry a small smile, hoping he understood the meaning of it. He was the person who I expected to stand up for me. I felt his burning hand lightly on my elbow which brought me comfort, I felt no need to tell him to move. As I took another sniff of the air, I caught the smell of Embry. He smelt amazing! He did smell like the wolf but not as much, a hint of rich chocolate about him. He smelt heavenly and I felt myself leaning back against him.
I held my breath as I waited for him to either push me away or to move himself. I let the breath out as I felt his hand lightly rest on my waist, not moving either of us in anyway. His skin was hot against mine but it wasn't burning which I was grateful for.
Ellie and Seth only stayed for a little while, talking with the Cullen's. Whenever Ellie was in the same room as me, Seth's eyes never left her. It hurt my feelings that he didn't trust me but I understood. Ellie was mostly with Nessie, the two of them getting on brilliantly. Nessie seemed to be able to get anyone to like her, including me. After they both left, I announced I was going to go hunting again in the woods around the house. Bella said she would join me and as we left the house, I noticed Embry following.
"You coming then?" I asked him, walking backwards.
"Yeah" he smiled.
"Cool" I nodded.
"Be back in a sec" he told me before running into the tree's to shift. He came back a few minutes later, walking to stand at me side.
"Want to race?" I grinned.
He nodded his wolfy head, agreeing.
"On three...One..Two...Three" I ran into the trees as he followed. I heard him make a noise which sounded like a bark which made me laugh. I enjoyed this, the running with him. He made me feel as if I wasn't a monster or a vampire, just a normal teenage girl.
