Rising Revolution
Two weeks ago (the last night the story left off)
"Hey Alaska you up there?" I heard Embry yell from the downstairs, I thought about not answering but what's the point in that? After all I'm supposed to be on the whole forgive him train. Not that there isn't going to be a fight before that.
"What do you want!" I growled.
"Could you please come down here?" I rolled my eyes at the niceness of it all, of course he was being nice after yelling at me, not even an hour ago. I stomped down the stairs. Making a big show, as if walking down them was the biggest deal in the world. Embry turned to Quil not even acknowledging my presence, "dude take a hike, I need to talk to my little sister."
Quil frowned where he was reclining in a chair, "wait you two are finally going to make up after being together for a few months which is bound to be a good show and I don't even get to see it?" He pouted.
If I wouldn't have been so serious I would have laughed; Embry didn't look amused. "Dude!" He said, warningly.
"Alright, alright I'm out," he paused then and winked at me. "Just don't kill my best friend alright?"
Embry rolled his eyes, "why would I kill her? I'm the ass."
Quil smirked at him, "exactly. Which is why I was talking to her... Not you," he then ran out of the house laughing.
Embry turned to me, "I'm doing what i am, and acting like I am because I love you." I rolled my eyes, he just cuts right to the chase doesn't he?
"Yeah sure," I mumbled, plopping in a dining room chair.
"No. This isn't just some argument you can finish with "sure" we're talking. Whether you like it or not," well, he just skipped the big brother mode and went right to parents all in one sentence.
frowning I said, "sure." knowing it would get on his nerves.
"Alaska! Dammit now's not the time to be a smartass. Just... Just let me talk. Then you can, but for your own good just keep the sarcastic comments to yourself," I knew what I was doing. When I was little although he played the big brother role Embry also was forced to play a parent, my mom never cared what I did, but Embry did. And I knew with enough smartass I could piss him off, then again I refrained knowing it would only make our relationship more awkward. "Okay. I know you don't believe me, but leaving you alone was the hardest thing I've ever did in my entire life. BUT I only did it one: because I was forced to. But also because I knew if I sucked it up and just did my job, you would be safe,"
"Yeah how well did that work out," I mumbled, under my breath.
"Excuse me?"
I scowled up at Embry, quickly rising to my feet, "I SAID yeah and how well did that work out! You LEFT me in a house with a drunk! She beat the living crap out of me. If you would have BEEN THERE she wouldn't have!"
"I was protecting you from something much stronger than our mother! Something that would kill you!"
I stood right in Embry face, or I mean more like chest because he is so freaking tall, "AND WHO ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL EMBRY!? OH YEAH ME! BECAUSE SOME FREAK BEAT ME! MAYBE IF YOU WERE THERE THAT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED? BUT OH WAIT WHERE WERE YOU? PARTYING WITH YOUR FRIENDS,"
Embry scowled at me, "YOU THINK I WAS PARTYING!?" He demanded, "oh good god. Alaska I'm not going into details about why I had to do what I did, but I'm also tiredd of the bullshit. I'm tired of living In a house having to act like my little sister isn't here when she's standing right in front on me. I'm tired of pretending everything's okay. When clearly it's not. You want to yell at me, find yell. Do whatever you need to get over this. Because I'm tired. And I'm done fighting with my best friend."
It took me about five minutes to truly process what he had said. "I'm still your best friend?" I asked, pathetically. Embry's head snapped up from the floor where he had focused after his rant, I guess the tiles looked more appealing than me, "you aren't going to scream at me?" I sighed, "Embry. Nothing will EVER be the same as it once was. Ever. But I'm sick and tired of being angry," by this point I was about to crying like a pansy, "and I know you're sorry. I'm starting to realize that you are doing a lot for me, and I'm being a bitch. So I'm sorry." Embry grinned, but I held up a finger, "but I'm not sorry about being mad, and I'm not sorry for treating you like i have... You deserved it."
Embry smiled and pulled my into a hug I've been missing for years, "I love you Laska, hope you know that," he then dropped a kiss on my forehead.
"Okay okay, enough girly shit. Let's see transformers of terminator?" I asked, holding both movies up that had previously sat on the table. Embry and I both looked at each other and said, "transformers." In unison.
Most people would hug and cry and do all the movie stuff. But Embry and I just aren't like that, a simple "I love you" is more than enough affection for the Calls. I debated in my head whether I should tell Embry what our mother said about Joshua Uley being our father. But I decided that it wouldn't change anything, and besides he has his secrets, I have mine.
(Present day)
"You hear anything about Seth?" Embry asked, Quil. We were sitting around eating cereal on the couches, considering the fact that we don't have real food unless I cook or we go to Emily's, this was a regular occurrence.
"Who's sef," I asked, as I stuffed my face, Embry looked at me slightly disgusted, while Quil just laughed loudly. "Seth Clearwater...No one you need to be concerned with," I frowned at Embry, then looked at Quil, he just shrugged as if to say 'leave me out of this'
"Oh don't be such a party pooper Embry, it's not like this Seth guy is part of a secret or anything," Embry rolled his eyes at my antics, over the last week I was constantly bugging him and emphasizing the word secret every five minutes.
"Whatever, I'm going out." Embry looked at me warily, "don't skip school or anything stupid." He then left, only to stick his head back in the door a second later. "Quil and I have something to do tonight, so don't wait up," my eyes lit up, finally this was my opportunity. Yep I'm following them.
"Wait!"
"What?" Embry asked, as he stuck his head back in the door.
"You aren't doing anything interesting... Like oh I don't know going out with a certain girl would you?"
Embry cocked an eyebrow at me, "stay out of my business little sister," then he was gone. For real this time.
Of course having the smart guy in the room gone I turned to poor defenseless Quil with an evil grin, "oh no. No. No. No. No. No!" Quil said, backing away from me, "you are not going to interrogate me. Nope. Uh uh. I'm going to Emily's... Later." Then he was gone too.
I pouted, then threw my book bag over my shoulder and headed to school, oh just great it's raining! I'm going to look like a drown rat. When I walked in the building I got the usual looks, ignoring them all I went to my locker when someone covered my eyes, "guess whooo?"
"Um Ellen, and have I just won a free car? Because that would be AM A ZING."
Ava laughed loudly then took her hands away from my eyes, "see this is why you're my best friend."
We started walking to first period and I decided to play Q&A, "hey... Do you know a Seth Clearwater?"
Ava sat down at our seats in the back of the class room and looked at me indecisively, "yeah... He lives in Alaska with Jake and Ness. Well he did, now that they our moving down here he's going to also, Seeing as though living with just the Cullens would be awkward."
"Cullens?" I asked, suspiciously.
Ava's eyes widened, "they're just Nessie's family." She said, too quickly.
I narrowed my eyes, "and this Seth kid... He just decided to be a 3rd wheel on Jake and Nessie's life? I mean they couldn't meet till they were teenagers so why would he just go with them?"
Ava seemed annoyed, but not the annoyed like at me annoyed... Just annoyed. "Listen Seth's dad died and his whole family was just really messed up. I guess he just needed to get away."
"But-,"
"Class you have a 60 minute exam starting in 3, 2, 1." Then we started are test, and any hope I had of finding out who this mysterious Seth Clearwater was, is gone.
Sighing I threw my backpack across the room, which I'm sure Quil would complain about later. He tended to work the night shift at his job, and apparently it's slightly annoying when you come home at 3 O'clock in the morning and about kill yourself tripping over someone's bag. I plopped my self in a chair, I snuck the answer out of Ava that whatever the guys were doing, they weren't until dark, so I still have a couple hours. I swear all you have to do to get Ava to talk is ask a question about Brady and suddenly you know what the whole entire group is doing. I guess it was a good time to do my calculus homework, honestly I'm just ready to graduate. I Guess being a super genius and skipping kindergarten was a good thing after all, but the bad side is while I'm only 16 all my friends including Ava are 18. Which means when she's able to go to bars and get wasted on her twenty first birthday I'll have to be the designated driver.
One thing I couldn't seem to shake Ava on was this Seth kid, the only thing I know is that he and Brady are pretty good friend, but Brady doesn't like talking about it because apparently he and a few others weren't too happy when Seth just decided to pack up and leave all his friends and family to chase after Jake and his wife... no one knows why he did it, I guess.
I plopped on the couch and watched a Supernatural marathon that was going on all weekend, oooh Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are some fine pieces of man... anyway. I did that until sun down, that's when I had to push the pictures of shirtless demon fighting hunks out and focus on the task at hand.
Knowing the guys would be leaving from Emily's I eased my way over there, as expected there were a few of them and they all took off running into the woods. I rolled my eyes, of course they would make this hard by going into the flippin woods. Like ooohh as if following a whole bunch of guys isn't hard enough let me just go into the nosiest place in the world with breaking sticks and crumbling leaves, just threatening to ruin my cover. NOT TO MENTION FREAKING SQUIRRELS, god these idiots make my life difficult.
I eased my way into the tree line and quickly noticed that I didn't follow fast enough, because any trace of human life was gone. Not panicking I did the only rational thing and followed the path the guys' feet had left. I was trying to look around and see any form of anyone but there wasn't. I started getting a little worried, I mean here I am a 5'5 girl in the middle of the woods having no clue where I am, where I plan on going, or what I'm going to do when I get there. And to make matters worse the sun is just about to fall completely behind the hill; leaving me in complete darkness. I hurried after the trail, but then as if my luck isn't bad enough all ready, the trail completely disappeared And I don't mean, rain washes it away oh you're screwed. I mean one minute I was following a whole bunch of foot prints and now... nothing. That's when panic truly set in.
Giving the hope of finding any one up I decided to just turn around and follow the trail I had came in with I mean if It could get me in, it should be able to lead me out too.. right? Of course because my life totally sucks, it then decided to rain and the trail back disappeared right before my eyes as well. I looked around having no clue where I was and just sat down beside a tree, realizing I am completely screwed. I sat there for about five minutes thinking on how the hell I was going to get home and not die, I mean then buzzards would eat me and any trace of Alaska Call would be gone forever.
Okay maybe I'm being a little over dramatic.
Then suddenly I heard a stick break behind a bush and jumped, okay maybe I'm not being over dramatic I'm going to die!
My heart was racing and suddenly a few more sticks broke, and I realized someone had to be there, "WHO'S THERE!?" I demanded, oh yeah nice one Alaska if someone's about to kill you they're just going to inform you who they are and offer a nice 'how are you' IDIOT! I rolled my eyes at myself. Suddenly the figure stepped out from behind the bush, and me being the idiot I am decided to cover my eyes, as if I couldn't see it, it wouldn't be able to see my either. The thing offered a big laugh when it saw me do this. Wait a laugh? it had to be a person. I Quickly uncovered my eyes and squinted at the dark figure. "who's there?" I said again, this time more curious than panicky.
"I'm seth."
My heart beat picked up again, "Wait Seth... like Seth Clearwater?"
The voice didn't respond for a beat then hesitantly said, "yes?" as if asking me.
"Yes?" I questioned.
"Yes." the voice said, this time more confidently.
"Oh um, my brother and his friend talk about you a lot," I stuttered, hoping the stranger would help me back home.
"Really who's your brother?" the person then took a few more steps forward before gasping, he could obviously see me, but I still couldn't see him.
"Embry Call," I answered quickly, ignoring the gasp from the guy. Suddenly the guy was right in front of me and I jumped back, startled by his sudden confidence. Of course I still couldn't see him, because it was dark.
"Yeah, Embry's one of my best friends... say what is your name?"
I honestly didn't know why I suddenly trusted the stranger, I mean all I know is his name but for some reason I felt compelled to answer, "I'm Alaska," I said, quietly.
The guy was right in front of me now, and my breath picked up even if I couldn't clearly see him I knew he was way bigger than me, and beside him I felt tiny, "Say what are you doing in the woods alone?"
"that's none of your business!" I said, defensively. I crossed my arms over my chest and creased my eyebrows.
I expected him to just blow me off and take me home because he is a friend of my brothers but instead he just laughed loudly, "Yeah, yeah I bet that means you aren't supposed to be out here and got lost huh?" I couldn't see his expression, but just by the promise in his voice. I knew he was smirking.
"No!" I denied, suddenly very embarrassed.
"Surrrre," Seth chuckled, wait Seth? since when am on a first name basis with the guy.
"Whatever." I snapped, once again he didn't seem bothered by my rudeness at all, "Can you just help me back to Emily Uley's house?"
Seth did a little "hmmm" sound, "Well... I would but it's just I don't know how to get back either."
I groaned loudly, "Well shit this is how I die, in the middle of the woods with a guy I cant even tell if is hot or not, great way to go out!" I scolded myself. Seth barked a laugh, "WHAT PART OF THIS IS FUNNY!?" I demanded.
"It's just, it's just," he then had to stop talking because he was laughing to hard.
"WHAT!?" I demanded
"I was just kidding! I know the way back... who goes into a woods without knowing their way back out?" He smirked.
My mouth fell open, "You jerk!" I yelled, hitting the arm that I could still only see as a shape, Ignoring the pain that shot through my whole arm, crap! he's rock solid.
"Hey watch it! or I wont take you back!" he warned, he then started walking in a direction and I quickly followed but he suddenly stopped and turned towards me, "Hey, uh, maybe you should get on my back... I know you cant see very well, no since in killing yourself."
I huffed, "I'm fine thank you," then as if to prove his point I fell over a stick and would've landed on my butt, if he hadn't caught me. he gave me a look, "Fine!" I huffed and let him help me onto his gigantor back.
When we finally arrived back at the tree line where we could see Emily's house he let me down and turned towards me, but my gasp stopped him; I could finally see him clearly. He was the most gorgeous person I have ever seen, I suddenly wish I was back on his back, right next to his face so I could... STOP IT Alaska!
I also didn't let it escape my notice that his mouth fell open and he studied me from head to toe, not leaving out a single freckle or blemish. suddenly feeling self conscious I cleared my throat, "You were saying?" I said, much more confidently than I felt.
Suddenly Seth seemed to snap back to reality, "I uh. I uh, we should, yeah we should do this again some time," he stuttered.
Not missing a beat, I smirked at him, "not that it hasn't been just oh so much fun getting soaked in the rain, in a woods where I was terrified and you scared the crap out of me, but I don't think I want to do this again... ever," I then walked away, not so much as offering a thanks, which I know I should have. Leaving Seth Clearwater alone gaping at my fading form.
So maybe I didn't find out about the guys but suddenly just knowing Seth Clearwater for information seemed to be the least of my problems. I mean my heart's still beating, and I cant seem to shake his image out of my head. Oh Seth Clearwater... he will be the death of me.
