Chapter 8: Wolf Girl-literally
An amazing little white wolf with dark paws and dark ears-clearly she inherited some of Embry's colour-stood before us.
Shit! Oh Shit! What the hell are we going to do?! I saw in her eyes that she was freaking out so I stepped away from Paul and Emmett and phased on the spot.
'Seth?' Gabby asked.
'Yes angel it's me, your okay.'
'What just happened?' her voice was shaking with worry.
'You've phased Gabby. You're a wolf.'
'HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?! My Dad never turned into a wolf.'
She flinched at the mention of her Dad. She had never mentioned her parents so I guessed she didn't want to.
'Well he wasn't around vampires I'm guessing. That sets it off.'
Thoughts were swirling around her head. A million questions at once. I had got so caught up making sure she was okay I didn't notice everyone standing around staring their mouths hanging wide open.
Carlisle broke the silence,
"Well I'm pretty sure she is not pregnant. It was the werewolf symptoms."
Relief washed through Gabby and me. It doesn't mean I wouldn't want kids SOMEDAY just not now. We were both too young.
I looked back to Gabby and she was examining her paw turning over then she was running in a circle trying to see her tail. I couldn't help it I burst out laughing and was on the ground rolling around laughing. '
'DON'T YOU LAUGH AT ME SETH CLEARWATER!' Gabby growled before springing on me, pinning me down. She licked my face until I pushed her off. We both stood grinning at each other.
"Great! Two wolves in love!" Paul said sarcastically.
Before I could get a chance to growl at him Gabby let out a ferocious growl. I turned to look at her my mouth hanging open.
She yelped obviously frightened at what she had just done.
She was a true wolf now.
I nudged her side.
'Let's get out of here.'
We walked into the forest surrounding the Cullen's backyard.
'Catch me' I dared.
I sprinted off; she raced after me until she caught up and over took me. Damn it! She was fast! Maybe it was a girl thing, Leah was the fastest in the pack and I would guess Gabby wouldn't be far behind.
'Thanks Seth' she said 'Now are you going to chase me or what?'
I picked up pace and followed her, she eventually slowed and I caught up and playfully jumped on her causing both of us to tumble to the ground. I held her down and licked her face,
'Caught you'
Silence came from her only the pictures in her mind told me what she wanted to do.
'You want to go home?' I said.
'Yes please.'
I jumped off her and we walked back to Embry's, well I guess her's as she has decided to stay for good.
At the same time we realised we had no clothes to change back into.
'Give me a sec' I said.
I walked right up to the house and looked through the window; the scent told me Embry was in his room. So I walked three windows down and looked through the window. Embry was sitting on his bed with his back to the window. So I let out a whine, just loud enough for him to hear. He spun around,
"SHIT! SETH! You scared the crap out of me! What are you doing?"
I nodded my head towards his closet.
"Oh you need some clothes bro?"
I nodded my head. He went to his closet and pulled out a pair of sweatpants. I whined again.
He looked back and I barked twice letting him know I needed two.
"Oh you need two. Is the other for Leah or something?"
Leah and I often run together in the forest, it was kind of a bonding thing.
I nodded my head because then he would at least he would get some girls clothes.
"I'll go get some of Gabby's clothes. They should fit right?"
I nodded and he disappeared out of the room. I couldn't believe he didn't know about Gabby yet. There had been enough witnesses.
He walked back in. His window was open so he just handed them out and I grabbed them with my teeth and walked back into the forest.
I placed them on the ground and grabbed the sweatpants from the pile.
'Thanks Seth. For everything.'
'It's ok angel anytime.'
I walked behind the tree and phased back after pulling on the sweatpants I walked back out.
Gabby was still in wolf looking at her clothes with a concentrated look on her face.
"Can't you phase back sweetie?" I asked.
She looked up when she heard my voice and shook her head sadly. I walked up to her and took her face between my hands and looked into her eyes.
"I love you Gabriella Jayne Harper" I said.
I felt her body relax and start to shake slightly as she phased back then stood before me in human form. She quickly picked up her clothes and changed into them.
"Thank you." She said once she was fully clothed.
I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
"You're welcome. Oh and um Embry doesn't know that you're a wolf so we better go tell him."
"Okay let's go."
We walked to the house and walked in the back door. I could smell that someone else was here beside Embry. The scent was human.....Lucy was here. Good maybe she could help Embry calm down if he got to angry and I'm guessing he will.
"Go sit down. I'll get Embry." I said to Gabby as I kissed her forehead.
I walked down the hallway and knocked on the closed door.
"Dude its Seth. You better be decent because I'm coming in."
I pushed open the door but they weren't doing anything so I was grateful.
"What's up Seth?" Embry asked.
"Me and Gabby need to talk to you guys in the lounge."
"Okay..." he said looking worried. He grabbed Lucy's hand and they followed me to the lounge. Gabby was sitting crossed legged on the lounge. I walked over and sat next to her, grabbing her hand and rubbed soothing circles with my thumb. Embry sat across from us with Lucy on his lap.
'So what did you guys want to talk about?" Embry asked.
Gabby stiffened; I knew it was going to be hard for her to tell him.
"It's okay sweetie. Just tell him." I whispered into her ear.
She looked to me with worried eyes and I nodded my head. Embry pieced things together and unfortunately came to the wrong conclusion as he yelled,
"YOU'RE PREGNANT AREN'T YOU? What did I tell you Seth?! You're dead! I'm gonna kill you! Right now if I have to!"
He was shaking. Lucy turned to face him and rested her hand on his chest.
"Embry calm down. It's okay let them tell us before you jump to conclusions."
He looked into Lucy's eyes as his shaking slowed then stopped. I knew this was the type of control Gabby had over me.
"Embry...." I started, he looked at me his eyes were full of anger. "I assure you that's not it. Gabby is not pregnant."
Relief washed over his face. He looked to Gabby,
"Gabby what is it? What's wrong? You can tell me."
Her eyes started to fill with tears. I put my arm around her waist and she leaned into me.
"Embry. I'm a wolf." She said quickly.
Embry went pale as he looked at her. He started shaking harder than I've ever seen.
"Lucy get away from him. Now." I warned.
She jumped off him and walked over next the couch. Embry was shaking so hard he couldn't speak. I got up and pushed him out the back door. He ran into the middle of the backyard and exploded he let out a painful howl. I quickly removed the sweatpants I was wearing and phased.
'Gabby......wolf.....how?' was all he could get out.
'I'm guessing her Dad had the gene, probably her Mum too for all we know. Maybe we should call them and let them know what's happened. I'm sure they know the legends.'
Embry had gone silent and was just looking at me.
'What? What is it?' I asked.
'Didn't she tell you?'
'Tell me what?' Now I was getting worried.
'Seth...her parents are dead. That's why she she's here. They died in a car crash.'
I was then the one to fall silent. Now I knew why she never talked about them. I just figured she was here for a holiday then we met and she decided to stay and transfer schools.
I needed to talk to her.
'Go' Embry said 'I'm fine now. Go. Oh and tell Lucy to come out.'
I phased back pulled on my pants and run up to the house.
Gabby was sitting on the couch with Lucy talking.
"Lucy, Embry wants' to see you outside." I said without taking my eyes off Gabby.
"Okay. See ya Gabby." She said as she bounced out the door.
I sat down on the couch facing Gabby. I grabbed both her hands in mine.
"Sweetie we need to talk." I said.
A worried look crossed her face.
"Why? What's wrong? Is Embry okay?"
"Yeah he's fine. He's calmed down now." I looked into her eyes "Angel why didn't you tell me your parents died."
She looked down, a tear escaped down her face. I grabbed her and crushed her to my chest and stroked her hair. More tears flowed freely down her face.
"How did you find out?" she sobbed.
"Embry. " I said. "I wanted to tell your parents about you phasing."
"It's my fault. That's why I didn't tell you. They died because of me!" her sobbing was starting to make it hard for her to speak.
"Gabby I'm sure that's not true." I whispered.
"It is! It's my fault they're dead!" she screamed. She started shaking I pushed her back so she could look at me.
"Gabby calm down, come on. I know you can do it."
Her shaking continued so I pulled off the lounge and took her outside to the forest. She phased and I was quick to follow.
She fell to the ground and whined in pain. Tears were still falling from her face. I laid down next to her and she snuggled up next to me. She never told me in words what had happened but I saw it in her head.
Her parents went out one night for dinner, they left Gabby home alone. She was walking down the stairs when she slipped and fell to the bottom. She hurt her ankle and had to ring her parents to come home. On their way home they were hit by a drunk driver. There was no survivors.
As soon as she had calm down enough I asked,
"Angel do you want to phase back so we can talk?"
She nodded her head.
"I'll go get you some clothes."
I ran to the house and phased back, pulled on the sweatpants and walked in the back door.
Embry had since phased back and was sitting on the lounge with Lucy. He turned his head to look at me. I shook my head sadly to indicate that Gabby wasn't good.
I walked into her room and went to her closet. She ripped two lots of clothes today. Sure it was 10pm but still if she kept this up she won't have any clothes left.
I grabbed a pair of black skinny leg jeans and a purple top. I took them back out to her. She was lying on the ground clearly exhausted from today; she phased back quickly this time and got dressed. Her eyes were red from crying. She walked over to me; she was so exhausted she could barely walk. I picked her up in my arms and carried her inside. Embry had since gone to bed and Lucy had gone home. Mrs Call had also gone to bed. I carried her to her room and put her down in her bed. Her temperature wasn't as hot as mine so I pulled the covers up. I turned to leave when she caught my arm,
"Seth please stay. I need you to stay." She murmured.
"Okay angel. Just let me call home and tell them where I am."
I walked out of her room and walked down to the kitchen. I pulled out my phone and called home. On the third ring Leah picked up,
"Hello"
"Hey Leah its Seth."
"Seth! Hey I saw what happened with Gabby today is she okay?"
"Uh...Yeah sort of. Though something's come up and I have to stay with her tonight will you tell mum."
"Yeah sure bro. Hey are you okay? You sound a bit worn out. Yeah I'm fine. I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Okay bye Seth."
I hung up and walked back to Gabby's room and climbed into her bed. She snuggled up to my chest.
"Night Seth." She mumbled.
"Night my Angel. I love you."
It looks like we we'll have to talk tomorrow.
