Hello dolls, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in so long! I've been in the process of moving into my new place and I've been drowning in work, so I am deeply sorry! Please enjoy this chapter and I will try to bring another to y'all soon!
Embry
I felt something brush my cheek and I groaned while tiredly brushing at my face, a giggle sounded somewhere nearby and I felt the bed shift. I slowly opened my eyes when I felt someone climb onto me, I blinked a couple times before I realized that Elise was straddling me. She smiled down at me, her auburn hair was all over the place and the old t-shirt fallin off her shoulder was driving me insane. I reached up to grab her waist, but she quickly dodged my hands by rolling off the bed and onto the floor, Elise giggled as she scrambled to her feet and out the bedroom door. My feet had just hit the bedroom floor when I heard her giggling cut short by a blood curdling scream, I dashed out of the room a second too late.
The sight that greeted me brought me to my knees and I suddenly couldn't breathe or move. I was frozen staring at Elise's lifeless body precariously tossed on the floor, her once bright eyes now dead. I could smell the leech, but I couldn't bring myself to care as I felt the tears pouring down my face and then nothing.
My eyes flew open and my chest heaved as I laid there staring up at the ceiling, I reached out to other side of the bed and sighed as I realized Elise was still there, I rolled onto my side and pulled her body against my own; her hair brushed my face and I breathed in the familiar scent of peaches and honey. I pressed a soft kiss to her exposed shoulder and I heard her mumble sleepily, Elise's body shifted and she rolled over to face me.
"I'm sorry, love, I didn't mean to wake you up." I said quietly.
"It's okay, babe." She said pressing closer to me. "I could tell something was wrong, I swear I'm not going anywhere."
Elise kissed my lips softly before cuddling into my chest and drifting back to sleep, but I couldn't fall back asleep or maybe I didn't want too, either way I was too scared to fall back to sleep because I wasn't sure that Elise would still be here when I woke up.
I walked into Emily's and gave a forced smile at the round greetings that sounded.
"Woah dude, you look like hell." Quill piped up.
I shot him a dark glare as I heavily sat down in one of Em's kitchen chairs. Quill quickly preoccupied himself with tracing the broken wooden grains across the table and Emily chose to speak up then.
"What happened, Embry?"
I didn't even realize my hands were balling into fists till I felt the sting of my nails tearing through my skin. I unballed my fist and watched as the skin slowly started to repair itself, I couldn't look up as I answered Emily, "The redhead leech she's not just after Bella anymore, she's after Lisie too. I guess it's some sick way to bring as many people down as possible, but last night I had dream that she got to Lisie before I ever sensed a threat and by the time I realized what was happening it was too late."
"Then we will do everything we can to protect Elise too."
My eyes shot up just as Sam walked through the door, his face was grim and I knew he wasn't here to bear good news.
"We're already spread thin trying to protect the land and Bella right now, we can't protect the lande, Elise and Bella. There's holes in our patrol right now and the more we spread the bigger the holes will become which becomes the perfect opportunity for that leech to slip through and nab someone, and then we failed to do what we were supposed to do." Paul chipped in.
I balled my hands into fists again and ignored the stinging sensation in my palms, I was about to say something, but Sam beat me to it.
"Elise is an imprintee, she takes presidence over Bella any day but we won't be having much of an issue with being spread thin much. Leah and Seth Clearwater have both shifted, the shock of this has caused Harry Clearwater to have a heart attack." Sam spoke up again.
I know it's short and I apologize, but I've gotten barely 10 hours of sleep over the last three days so my brain isn't completely working very well at the moment. I will bring part 2 as soon as everything slows down again and I've gotten enough sleep to actually be able to type a longer chapter that will make sense! Love you babies! ~Peace
