CeruleanKitten: YAY you reviewed again Kitten. :)
I think I will spoil the plot a little and tell you she is not gonna get with Sam.
I wanted to ask you something…now that I have introduced EVEY I was solely going to do her point of view, but I actually kinda like the different POVs. What do you think?
Thanx again for the review

Nessie POV
Alice's question baffles me to the point of being speechless. What IS going on over here?
"Nessie, ANSWER ME DAMN IT."
"Alice calm down. Gosh, no need to get excited. I'm out with Jay and Embry. We are out patrolling." That was partly true, I guess—even though it was Sam, Quil, and Leah's turn— but Alice doesn't need to now that.
"WHAT? You do realize what they're patrolling for right. Nessie, leave the patrolling to the wolves, please. If your father found out you were patro…"
"Alice I am 20-years-old and old enough to…"
"You are not 20, if you were a full fledge human you would be 20, but like Carlisle said you will probably be in your teens for a long LONG time, so technically you STILL need PARENTAL SUPERVISION NESS and…"
"Alice please, you are technically a teen too. Don't get all parental on me now. I am the same age you all are. I know what I am doing."
"Do you Ness? It doesn't seem like it. You just told me you're out hunting vampires and…"
"I did NOT say that. I said I was out patrolling. We have as of yet to come across a vampire." Shit, I just lied. Damn it, I don't want to lie to Alice, crap.
"Nessie, please this is sounding insane. Jaz and I…"
"Please Alice. I can take care of myself. I don't sneak out every day -- maybe twice a month…" Shit, lie number two. "I don't go around like a teen vamp gone wild. I have common sense. Don't you trust me?"
My body snaps up and I drop the phone. Jacob and Embry run past me with a speed that implies danger, and heading towards Forks. I take one leap forward to follow, but realize Alice is still on the phone. I head back to my phone and attempt to talk and run at the same time, miserably failing thanks to the clumsy coordination my mother passed down to me.
"Alice. I really need to get back to bed. Can I call you around noon time later today?"
Alice laughs her jolly laugh—a laugh I haven't heard in years.
"Yea Nessie, get back to bed before Charlie finds an empty bed and calls the fuzz. I will call YOU at noon today, okay. Take care Ness-bear, love you."
"Love you too Alice, talk to you later." I shut the phone with so much force that I hope I didn't break it. I quickly jam it into my back pocket and follow Jay and Em's scent.
Evey POV
I stood there frozen—frozen in a world unknown to me. Forks, I am in Forks Washington—wherever that is.
With my eyes never leaving their focus on the angry male in front of me, Sam, I take a step back.
"You can't do this Embry. We can't have this near us." Sam was glaring at me as he yelled out his rant. I take another step back into the water. Hateful man.
"What do you mean by that Sam?" The male Sam called Embry yelled back. His voice and scent made me look at him. He smelled so good it made my whole body wobble. Why does he care?
I turn my head around again to look at the sea. Would I sink to the bottom, if my body were to give up swimming? How long would it take to die by sea?
An unexpected wave hits my back pushing me forward slightly and the wolves snap up and start to growl again. Sam mimics his previous gesture and they both sit down and remain quiet. Embry continues to stare at me with a look I have never seen before. Damn, he's so beautiful.
I start to take backward steps deeper into the sea and Embry quickly walks toward me but Sam blocks his path.
"Let her leave Embry. She isn't like Nessie, she is a total leech. Do you want to bring that upon us?
"SAM!" Out of the darkened trees the man from earlier before stepped forward walking toward Embry and Sam.
As if I were a TV getting really bad reception, my eyesight becomes fuzzy and everything starts to spin as if I were ready to faint. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Embry, Sam, and the unnamed male start to look around as if lost. The wolves start to whine and growl quietly, but remain motionless.
"What time is it? Shouldn't I be home right now? Why did I come here? Shouldn't I be in La Push?" Sam starts to stagger and turn around and around. The wolves start to bark wildly in place.
"Hey Jake, where are we? Why are we near the shore? Weren't we at Nessie's? Why aren't we still at Nessie's?" Embry looks around confused talking toward the other male he called Jake.
"Embry, why are we here? Where's Nessie? Have you seen Nessie? I can smell her, but where is she? Why did we come this way?" Jake starts to walk toward the darkened trees.
Smell her? Smell who? I lift my face and her scent of orange blossom delights my nose.
STOP. The familiar voice echoed in my head and the invisible force from before pushes me back again and I crash down into the water. The beast inside me then awakens, my chest starts to growl and my body starts to quiver making the water around me ripple. I leap up and crouch protectively snarling with such anger I scare myself.
Embry, Sam, and Jake start to shake their heads.
"What the hell was that?" Sam shaking his head yells toward Jake.
Her voices made us all turn toward the trees. "It's her gift. That's her vampire gift. She makes us question our decisions, our plans, our intentions." Her voice echoed from the trees as she walked toward us. It is the female from before—the beautiful teenage female. Why is she here? What does she mean by gift? What does that mean? Why…
"You are doing it again Evey. Do you even know you're doing it?" She cocks her head to the side as if analyzing me. "You don't know do you." She smiles a beautiful smile at me and then looks over to Jake. Her smile was warm and inviting. I felt at ease in front of these strangers who smell strange and look strange.
"I'm Nessie. Hi. This is Jacob, my best friend, and this is E…"
"Nessie, don't make this…"
"Make this what Sam. I don't even have to be a wolf to know what she is to Embry. I think she is different…different like my family. Different in a good way."
Sam's laugh is both mocking and horrifying. He truly hates me, but why?
Without turning toward the sea, I start to take several steps back, first slowly then at a rapid pace.
"WAIT." Embry and Nessie both yell toward me.
Surprisingly, my body stops moving. Why do I want to stay? Why do I care? Why do they care?
My attention then turns to Sam and Jake arguing in the background.
"We can't have this Jacob. We can't. This is not right. Nessie is completely different from this one—this is a true vampire. We can't have this in La Push or Clallam County."
Jake just glares at Sam before opening his mouth. "What if Emily was turned into a vampire, would your morals and laws still govern you for what's right? Sam, I know we don't know anything about this girl, but look at her. She doesn't even have red eyes, she hasn't attacked us, and she is not a ravaging monster we know leeches can be. She even smells different. This is not fair Sam, you haven't even given her a chan…"
"DON'T YOU EVER COMPARE EMILY TO A FILTHY BLOOD-SUCKING PARASITE EVER AGAIN..."
Sam was shaking so violently, I knew it was time to go. I turned to the sea and dove into the water with so much strength and velocity that I was miles away from shore in milliseconds.
That was the strangest scene I have every seen. I guess I deserve the parasite comment, but why are they comparing me to the human girl. It's true her scent isn't like other humans and her heart beats at triple speed, but she is human, so why was Sam comparing me to her.
And Embry. Perfectly stunning Embry. My eyes have never seen anything more beautiful. His body was like water to my desert, like heat to my cold, he was the sun to my moon. Why does my body want to head back to him? Why does my body fight the direction I am headed? Embry…
His scent will be one I will long for until I truly die.
Embry POV
Her scent woke me 6 months ago. It woke my every muscle, my every nerve, my every sense. It woke me from my shape-shifting certainty, my shape-shifting duty.
I asked Sam, Jake, even Ness if they smelled it, and in the beginning they didn't.
I knew that scent, it is a scent I have smelled for years, smelled a thousand times. A familiar scent that reminded me of my childhood—of my childhood life in La Push. It was a scent that brought back great memories. It was a scent that took me back to my earlier and easier life—a life without wolves/a life without vampires. For 3 months the scent was delightful and welcoming. But, after the 3 months the scent went all wrong. The scent changed to something sad, something distressed, something mournful…something unhappy. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't think straight. I patrolled with only that scent in my head.
I knew—knew that scent was for me, that scent was mine to have. I was the only one who would ever get joy and grief from it. The others went on as if it were a nuisance, an annoying scent brought on by the Canadian winds from up north, but I knew otherwise.
When I finally reached the scent, I was anxious to see why it had called me, why my body craved it. When she leaped out of the hole, I knew—knew at that moment that she was my answer for everything. My answer for living, my answer for dying—my answer for fighting, my answer for loving. I was finally complete. My life became a perfect circle—a complete puzzle. It had started with her scent—her scent that tied the first impenetrable tie to me, and then when I actually saw her that tie became a steel barricade—linking us making us one. I will search the earth east to west, north and south for her—for what's mine. I will fight to the death if I have to.
