TopazPOV
"Topaz it's time for the Bon fire." I heard Sam say. I had long since changed into my dry clothes and we were now getting ready to hike up the beach to the bon fire site to hear the ancient legends. We all sat down and listened to the legends. The legends were about our ancestors changing into wolves, becoming the wolf. Of defeating the cold ones, or as the world knew them by, vampires, the legends also went on to tell about imprinting. When the wolf finds his soul mate, the missing piece of his soul. His other half. I remember the elders finishing up the last legend when I fell asleep. I remember being carried back to my room and laid down on my bed and covered up.
I woke up the next morning to the smell of burnt bacon. I got out of bed and noticed I still wore the clothes from last night. I changed quickly into a black pair of skinny jeans with a blue tank top and a black studded belt with black flats. I walked down the stairs and noticed Sam was standing by the stove looking into the pan of ashes. I went over and grabbed the pan and the spatula from him and dumped the ashes into the trash and cleaned the pan before getting out more bacon and starting to cook it. I made enough for just Sam, Emily and I. we ate breakfast in silence as I had finished cooking some eggs to go with the bacon Emily had woke up and came down the stairs. "thank you for breakfast Topaz. I've got the dishes. If you want you can have Sam get one of the boys to show you around town. It's not very big but we wouldn't want you getting lost." Emily said as she picked up the dishes and cleared the table. I nodded wanting the chance to get to know the place I would now be living in.
Sam had called Embry to show me around. He showed me the little gas station, the park, the cliffs, and the local library that were around town. We had stopped for lunch and we had took a walk through the park and even walked down to the beach. "come on Topaz time to get you home. Sam will be worried we're about 45 minutes late." Embry said grabbing my hand and turning me towards Sam's house. "let's go. I'll race you." Embry said. I nodded and took off at a run. Within a few minutes Embry quickly passed me and reached the door first. I reached the door a few seconds later. "looks like the left a note, it says they'll be back by tonight. Guess we weren't late after all." embry said smiling "and it even says you should make me some food cause I'm starving." he joked. I giggled and nodded. Knowing full well that he added that last part in.
I walked into the kitchen and grabbed all the things I would need for spaghetti. I made garlic bread to go with the spaghetti. Half way through making the food Embry walked in asking to help. I nodded and handed him the noodles to add to the water. I turned back around and finished cutting the onion and tomato and added it to the pan where the hamburger and ragu sauce where cooking. I stirred it one last time and left it to simmer. I looked over to where Embry was stirring the noodles. Dinner was soon finished cooking and served and eaten. We decided to watch a movie. I went to my room and grabbed one of the movies I had brought with me. It was called a knights tale. It was my favorite movie. I put the movie in the player and sat on the couch. Embry had said he was going to stay for the night just till Sam and Emily got home. I soon fell asleep the last thing I remember is being picked up and carried to my room and being layed down and covered with a blanket.
I was sitting in the back of the car in the middle seat. My family had insisted that we go to the out to dinner and to a movie since I was always busy with my clubs and after school activities. "that was a good dinner and the movie was awesome dad." I said. When I saw what time it was I realized my favorite D.J. on my favorite radio station would be on. "hey dad could you turn on the radio to 104.7 please." I asked him. It had been awhile since I had actually hung out with my parents. Mom smiled at me. Dad reached over to change the radio station taking his eyes off the road for a second. I looked out the window and I saw a bright light. It was a truck coming straight at us from the drivers side. "DAD WATCH OUT." I shouted as he hit the breaks to late. The truck came straight at us hitting the front of the car. The car spun out and we hit a few other cars and flipped over a couple of times. The last thing I remember before passing out and fading into the darkness was the image of my parents. Mom was leaning against the window and dad was leaning against the steering wheel…………the image flashed and then the scene changed. I was at mom and dads funeral. It was a closed coffin service. As the wreck had beaten them up pretty bad. I was walking out the door when I heard my name being called. I turned around and mom and dad we're standing their. Mom had a gash down her face and her clothes were all bloody. Dad just had a huge smile on his face. "it's all your fault Topaz." mom said. "if only you didn't have me change the radio station." dad said. "we would still be alive Topaz. We died because of you." mom said. They said this as their bodies started to decay. I screamed. It was all my fault. It was all my fault if only I hadn't asked for the radio station to be changed. but no I had to have the radio station changed…….I woke up from my dream to big warm arms around me. "shhh it's ok Topaz, come on baby wake up it's only a dream." I heard Embry saying. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder.
EmbryPOV
I picked Topaz up and carried her to her room. I set her down on her bed and covered her with a blanket. I walked back downstairs as Sam and Emily got home. I waved to Sam as I was about to leave. When I heard Topaz Scream and cry out as if she was scared and in pain. I quickly ran up the stairs. Topaz was still asleep but she was crying out in her sleep. She was having a bad dream. I quickly walked over to the bed picked her up and cradled her in my arms and gently rocked her back and forth till she calmed down. I talked to her trying to calm her. "shhh it's ok Topaz, come on baby wake up it's only a dream." I said rocking her back and forth. I felt her slowly wake up and her arms wrap around my neck as she cried into my shoulder. I held her close and lay down with her as she slowly cried herself to sleep. I tried to get up later but she was a light sleeper and every time I moved she would give a startled little cry and burrow herself closer to me. I looked towards the door to see Sam with a glare on his face and Emily with a soft smile on her face, standing by the doorway. "good night Embry." I heard Emily say as she Dragged Sam away from the door and back to their room. I gently wrapped my arms around Topaz, My angel, and closed my eyes soon finding sleep.
I woke up the next morning to an empty bed beside me. I got up and walked downstairs Topaz was just setting what looked to be the last plate of fresh cooked food on the table. I looked around. "Sam and Emily both already gone for work?" I asked looking back at Topaz. She nodded and handed me a plate. I looked down at her and smiled. "did you make all this for me?" I asked. She nodded and her cheeks flushed bright red. "thank you, I'm sure it tastes better than it smells, and it smells pretty damn good." I said, just to see her flush an even brighter shade of red. She nodded and grabbed her her own plate and put some food on it. I swear she ate just as much as me and the whole pack did.
Later, after I helped Topaz with the dishes, I got up and stretched from my place on the couch. I looked down at her. "I have to go to work now. I'll see you later. Ok?" I said. And she nodded. "you can expect to see me back here for dinner." I said winking at her. "as long as your cooking that is." she stood up and I pulled her into a hug. I could smell her shampoo. Vanilla with a hint of roses. It smelled beautiful. I walked to the door. "see you tonight beautiful." I said and with that I left. Closing the door and walking off to do pack duty.
I walked over to the Jared, Collin, and Seth, who were waiting for me so we could start our patrols. They were already in wolf for so I didn't rush taking off my cut offs and tying them around my leg. I quickly shifted into my dark grey wolf form. I stood taller than almost everyone other than Jake and Sam. so whats the news today Seth? Anything new. I asked Seth. nothing new today Embry. Although Sam said something about wanting us to make our patrols longer and double check everywhere. Apparently they smelt vampire over on the beach the day after we had the bonfire. Seth said to me. one of the cullens? I asked. no jake said nessie and her family are on vacation in Russia for the next few weeks. They'll be back soon. I heard Jared say. k well then let's go. You guys know the drill. and with that our patrol started. Only about 8 hours till I could see Topaz's beautiful face again and got to eat her home cooked meal. I had just ate and my stomach was already getting hungry for some of her food. 8 hours left I thought. And I don't think it could seem any longer.
