Chapter 6: The Flames of Death
We spent the next hour explaining everything about why were here, the order, slaying, and basically our whole life. If you told me a week ago that I would be sharing my life story with a pack of shapeshifters their imprints and their elders, I would of said your crazy, but now, I couldn't be happier. Sure they were shocked and surprised but they listened until the very end and asked questions whenever they needed. They even told us about the cullens and how they were vampires that only fed on animal blood and how Jake imprinted on one of them. All in all, it was perfect.
A while later I was wrapped in Seths arms and Billy was telling some funny story and we were all laughing and having a good time, even Leah. I couldn't be more happier, until I realized what time it was.
11:45
We told grandmother we would be back by 12, I got up and motioned to Aida. She nodded her head and she got up, I felt a tug on my hand. I looked down and saw Seth, he stood up with a questioning look in his eyes.
"What's wrong" he asked nerviously, I noticed Aida telling Embry.
"Nothings wrong Seth, relax" His eyes softened and I continued.
"We just promised Grandmother we would be back by 12 and its already 11:45" He nodded. I thanked everyone and said goodnight. Seth took my hand and we started walking away from the bonfire. He pulled me close and we just stared into each others eyes.
"I don't want you to leave but I guess I have to" He said, almost in a whinny voice. I giggled.
"Yeah I don't want to leave either but ill see you tomorrow" He smiled and stroked my cheek.
"Promise"
"Promise" I said as I leaned in and kissed him, I pulled away quick to tease him and I swear the look in his eyes was priceless, we heard footsteps and noticed Aida, Embry, and Emily walking to us.
"I saw that kiss man, looks like she's got you wrapped around her finger" teased Embry as he ruffled Seth's hair. I giggled.
"Whatever" he mutterd as he got away from Embry.
"Layla, I'll be driving you and Aida home, I hope you don't mind" I smiled and shook my head.
"No not at all, that would be great, thank you"
She smiled, I said goodnight to Seth and followed Emily to her car. Aida got in the front seat and I slipped into the back.
"What do you guys think of the bon fire" asked Emily as she started the car.
"It was great" said Aida, Emily smiled as she starting driving down the road.
"I remember when Sam told me all about the wolf and imprint stuff, at the time I thought he was insane" She said with a slight frown on her face.
"How come" asked Aida.
"You probably didn't know this, but im Seth and Leah's cousin" I gasped, she continued.
"I came to visit them and at that time Leah was dating Sam. When Leah introduced me to Sam, we looked into each others eyes and he knew he had imprinted on me. He broke up with Leah the next day" An unconfortable silence filled the car.
Poor Leah, she must have been heart broken…. Is that why she seems so bitter.
"Leah was heart broken, she was angry at me and Sam, I felt so bad for her but at the same time I couldn't bear staying away from Sam for so long. Sure we've talked here and there but she still dosent like me much, she also bears a lot of resentment towards Sam."
I didn't know what to say, but of course Aida did
"Emily im so sorry, im sure everything will work out" She only nodded as she turned onto our drive way.
"Im sorry, I kind of just blurted it all out, please let me make it up to you"
"Emily its fine, really, you don't have to"
"No, I want to, how about I pick you girls up tomorrow and you can come spend the day with me, hows about it"
I glanced at Aida and smiled.
"Sure that would be great, thanks Em" She smiled.
"Ill pick you guys up around 10" We nodded and got out of the car. She backed up and rolled down the window.
"Oh and congratulations to the both of you" she called. Both of us blushed and smiled at her.
"Thanks again Em" we both called, she waved at us and drove away. I turned to my sister.
"So you and Embry" I said teasingly. She blushed.
"So you and Seth" Now it was my turn to blush but it didn't last long since we both burst out in laughter.
"Who ever thought we would be this happy here" she said giggling.
"Yeah, I bet father had no idea what he was sending us to, now look at us" I giggled. We laughted some more then when we quieted down we enterd the house. It was dark so we turned on the hallway light.
"Grandma were home" I called but there was no repley. I looked at Aida but she only shrugged. We starting climbing up the stairs, I called out again but there was still no repley.
Where is everyone…
I thaught as I reached the top of the stairs, the only light was coming from Luke's room.
Luke!
I rushed over and opened his door, I looked inside and felt my heart drop, Aida was behind me and I could tell she was feeling the same way. There was Luke, lying on his back, sheets scatterd all around him, he only had his black boxers on and a wet rag on his head, his eyes were shut and he was breathing heavely. The only light came from the small lamp on his bedside table. I rushed over and knelt by his head.
"Luke, are you alright" I asked shakily, ive never seen him so sick and it scared me to think of what could happen to him. Aida knelt down beside and removed the rag, she went to dip it in cold water. I layed my hand on his forhead, I gasped, it was even hotter then before.
"Luke" I said, I felt my eyes start to water, he opened his eyes when Aida put the wet rag on his forhead, she knelt down next to me and put her arm over my shoulder, Luke looked at us.
"Im fine you guys, its just the flu" he tried to smile but he went into a coughing fit.
I gasped, everytime he coughted his muscles seemed to twitch and strech in a painful looking way. That when I noticed all the stuff on his bedside table. There was advil, tylenol, pain relif more muscle aches, and cough syrup. I started to cry abit, I couldn't imagen the pain he was going through. His coughing seemed to die down enough for him to speak.
"Im sorry, im worrying you guys arent I" I shuck my head.
"Luke, I admit im worried about you but don't worry about us, you need to focus on getting ready fast" I nodded in agreement to what Aida had said. I heard multiple car doors slamming and went down stairs to open the door, Aida stayed with Luke. I opened the door and there was grandma and a man rushing to the door. She stopped when she saw me.
"Oh Layla thank goodness your home, did you have where's Aida, oh dear me I forgot my manners, Layla this is Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Carlisle this is Layla" I nodded and shook his hand, it was extremely cold, so this was one of the cullens.
"Yes we had fun, Aida is upstairs with Luke"
She nodded and with that they rushed up the stairs to Luke's room. Grandma introduced Carlisle to Aida and then waved him over to Luke.
Whenever she introduces us to people, she calls Aida and Luke her grandchildren but when she introduces me she just says my name.
I know I should be thinking about that, especially in the state that Luke's in, but I couldn't help it. It was true, and it made me feel uninportant which is nonsense, im sure she just made a mistake or assumed people knew I was her grand daughter.
Carlisle was trying to talk to Luke but he kept coughing and Aida and Grandma where there rubbing his back and making sure the rag was cold and wet enough. I couldn't stay in there any longer without crying so I said goodnight and closed the door. I took a deep breath once I was outside in the hall and slowely made my way to my room, I never noticed the pictures that were hung up so I made sure to look at all of them. There was some of us and some of moom and dad, there was even one with grandma and grandpa.
But there was one picture there that I wasent sure about. There were 2 girls in the picture, one was grandma, I recognized by the way her hair and eyes were. The other girl I didn't know, she was shorter then grandma so I presumed she was younger, she had the same black hair but her eyes. They were..like mine. I made I mental note to ask grandma about it later, for now I just put on my pajamas, cuddled up in my bed and and closed my eyes.
I'm Seth's imprint….
That night I dreamed a terrible dream.
I was standing in complete darkness watching the order burn, I heard screams of terror and fear, the cry's and pleads of helpless people. I willed myself to move but it was no use. I watched as the flames engulfed the building, the flames like arms reaching out and grabbing hold of the burning building. The order…My home…Father… Zoey…Bryan….Belinda….Everyone….Gone.
The scene changed and now I was in a dark clearing with only the moon as light, I heard whispers all around me but nobody was there then a voice of pure darkness and evil reached out and engulfed me in its words.
We creep in places dim and dark.
In every alley, every park.
We hide in shadows of the night.
Looking for someone to bite.
Scenes of vampires bitting humans surronded me.
"Many years we have been cursed.
To live in darkness is the worst.
Our eyes can never see the light.
And so we only wake at night."
And then I saw a figure of someone emerginf from the night, its only visible feature was its eyes, the blood red eyes of a vampire.
"For centuries, we have roamed this earth.
In search of possible rebirth.
Hoping we will find a way.
For us to see the light of day."
The vampire stepped into the moonlight, I was filled with fear, she had blonde hair but was wearing a dark cloak and she was staring right at me.
"This mystery of day and night.
A foe impossible to fight.
To feel the sun we greatly yearn.
But know its rays would make us burn."
And then it hit me, I felt like I was burning I crumbled to my knees and I remembered the scenes from the order.
"And so we are resigned to be.
In the dark eternally.
Because darkness is our plight.
Trapped forever, in the night."
The pain was becoming unbearable, my body was burning and I thought I would surely die, I looked at the vampire, she was smiling at me.
"You will pay for what you've done, daughter of Elliana"
And with that I was drowning in darkness.
