Chapter 9:
Evan and Amy
Everything was still black as night. But I could hear voices above me and I could feel that I was laying on something soft.
"Is she going to be ok Carlisle, I can't believe I did this!" I heard Edward shout as he laid down next to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm not sure Edward." Carlisle muttered out apologetically. I knew it was time for me to wake up. Slowly I opened my eyes, startled by how bright it was. As I opened my eyes further the light got softer as my eyes adjusted and I heard Edward gasp slightly.
"Bella! You're ok! I'm so so very sorry Bella! I will never be able to forgive myself." He sobbed out. I lifted my hand to his face and starred him in the eyes. I hope he could see there that I didn't blame him. I couldn't speak just yet.
"I'll just leave you two for right now, I'll be back in to check on you later Bella." Carlisle said with a slight wave, but I barely noticed. All I could see was Edward.
As soon as Carlisle had shut the door Edward was apologizing. "I'm sorry, sorry, sorry…"
"I don't blame you Edward, so stop saying sorry." I said once I found my voice.
"But Bella, look what I did!" He said as he gestured down at my body. I took a deep breath and then looked down at me. Carlisle had to use metal polls to keep my body in the appropriate directions; I even looked slightly bruised. But that couldn't be. Vampires didn't get bruises. I could feel myself heeling, but I knew what it must look like to Edward.
I looked up at Edward before I continued. "It isn't your fault, you weren't you. I knew how dangerous it was but…"
"You shouldn't have Bella…" He said cutting me off.
"But I couldn't live without you, so I had to do something." I said cutting him off in return.
He starred at me with those wonderful eyes; I could feel myself melting.
"I love you Bella." He whispered into my ear as he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"I love you too Edward." I said as I smiled up at him. Then something clicked. Where was Evan?
"Edward, where is Evan?" I questioned him, worry starting to creep into my voice. The last time I had seen him he was running off into the woods after Amy…
"Well he's, he is, um, I don't know Bella." Edward said, concern wrinkling his all to perfect face.
I jumped up off of the couch we had been laying on in our room. I had to find Evan. I felt my legs start to shake, they still weren't ready to hold me up. I began to fall but was soon caught in Edwards's arms with a guilty expression on his face.
"We have to find Evan, Edward!" I nearly shouted as I tried to stand again, only to fall back into his arms.
"You are not strong enough for that, I'll go look for him." Edward replied, worry seeping in his voice.
"No, I need to come to. I was the last one who saw him. Carry me on your back Edward." I said while trying to climb onto his back.
"Are you sure?" He said looking at me skeptically.
"Yes!" I nearly shouted. He crumbled to my wish and soon we were running through the woods and were quickly in the small field where I had last seen Evan. I saw Edward wrinkle his noise the same time I did from the smell of the werewolf.
"Follow the werewolf scent, it will lead us right to him!" I said enthusiastically. Edward looked at me like I was crazy.
"He is with Amy, he followed her into the woods, hurry!" I said answering his unspoken question.
We began to run again, slower this time so we could make sure we stade on the trail. Soon I could hear voices.
"Slow down Edward." I whispered softly into his ear. "Let's not interrupt them."
Edward slowed down stopping just outside of another small clearing where we could clearly see Amy, now in human form, and Evan standing across from each other. Amy was wearing Evan's shirt that was gratefully extra-large on her and went down to her knees since her clothes were shredded during her transformation.
"Amy, I have to ask you something." Evan began nervously.
"Yea." Was her careful reply.
"Do you know what I am?" I could feel Edward's muscles stiffen underneath me.
"Yea, you're a vampire." She stated mater of factly. Jake must have finally told her.
"And you know what I am." She stated no question in her tone.
"Amy." Evan began, hesitantly taking a step towards her. "I have to tell you something." He said as he lightly grabbed her hand, holding it in his. Her eyes flashed up to his face, a slight blush on her cheeks, but she didn't pull away.
"I think I like you. Like really like you." Evan said while rubbing small circles on Amy's hand with his thumb. When he finished talking he slowly looked up at her face.
Amy turned her head down slightly, blushing furiously. "I think I like you to Evan." She said, finally gaining the courage to look at his face. Evan began to slowly lean in closer to her, but before he could get to close she stopped him.
"But what about what we are? You're a vampire; I'm a werewolf. We are meant to be enemies, we are not supposed to like each other." Amy said, but Evan's composure remained calm, he was still rubbing small circles on her hand, and slowly inching closer and closer to her. I could feel myself holding my breath.
"Did you know my mom used to be human?" He questioned her but did not wait for a reply. "My dad was a vampire dating a human." He began as he laughed softly. "That worked out pretty well."
"But she is a vampire now." She said curiously.
"That's because she wouldn't stop bugging my dad about changing her. She wanted to live with him for eternity. Plus, she was a major danger magnet." He said and they both laughed.
"So Amy, would you, um…" Evan cleared his throat, starring into Amy's eyes. "Would you be my honey, my girlfriend?" He questioned her. I couldn't believe that I was here, listening to my son ask out a werewolf.
I heard Amy gulp. "Yes." She said. Evan leaned closer to her until their lips meet. I could feel that Edward had had enough of this and was not enjoying his son kissing a werewolf. Quickly he stepped out into the clearing.
"That's enough." Edward and Jake said at the same time. Jake and some of his pack was on the other side of the field, I hadn't noticed them. And by the shocked looked on Edward's face he hadn't either.
"Dad!" Both Evan and Amy gasped.
"It's time to go home Evan." Edward said in a hard tone.
"You to young lady." Jake said.
Evan and Amy's fingers were intertwined in each other's and I didn't want to stop the sweet moment they were sharing, but there wasn't much I could do now. Evan and Amy looked at each other one more time before letting go of each other's hands. I could have sworn I saw something pass between them as they starred at each other as the slowly walked away, towards their families. I looked up once at Jake before we left. Jake gave me a small sad smile, and I knew that the relationship between Evan and Amy was going to be difficult. It may even be more difficult than Edwards and myself had been. I could only hope it would work out, and hopefully keep the peace between the werewolves and vampires. A war was the last thing I needed, or wanted.
