Lindsey's POV
I felt myself resurfacing. Coming up from the darkness. I felt my eyes flutter open. I heard muffled screams. More like yells. I tried to look around, but someone pushed me softly back down.
"Whoa, easy. It's ok, everything's ok."
Who was that? Seth? Embry? Kels?! Wait. No it couldn't be. Kels is dead. Kels died in an accident. Kelsey, my sister, is dead.
My vision slowly came back to me as I looked up at Seth; kneeling beside the couch. "Hey," he murmured. He didn't seem happy or even calm.
I looked around the room. Embry was standing, his hands on his hips and his face red, talking to an unfamiliar man in a suit. Seth followed my gaze, and sighed when he saw Embry.
"What...what's going on?" I whispered. My head started hurting slightly.
Seth's lips formed a straight line. He wasn't telling me something. I sat up slightly. "Seth. What's going on?"
His face flashed with pain. "They......" he paused for a moment; looking everywhere but my face. "They can't find Kelsey's body."
I felt like I was going to throw up for the third time today. "What.....? What do you mean they can't find-?"
"They can't find her body, Linds. They looked all over the wreck but they can't find it," his voice was low and cold.
I gaped at him. What was I supposed to say...?
Embry's POV
"What do you mean you can't do anything!?" If this ass tryed to convince me one more time that they couldn't do a thing to find my finance's body...he won't be able to walk or eat for the rest of his life without being a vegetable!
"I'm very sorry, Sir, for your loss. But there's nothing we can do. One minute her body was there and when the firemen left to get the axes to pry the doors open, she was gone," He looked at me, his face perfectly calm. Let's see what he says when he loses someone he loves and their body isn't found.
I wanted to phase right then and there. This monkey-suit-asshole was mine. I noticed that Izzie was waking up, and I didn't want to cause her any more pain. I sighed, nodded, gritting my teeth. "Fine. Get out of here."
The man didn't show any fear. The little worm of a human. God, did he have anything better to do than pronounce people dead!? And then not even be able to find the bodies!?! He nodded, handed me his card with his number on it, and walked out the door swiftly.
Good riddance. Seth stood up, looking at me. I didn't know what to do first. Go look for my imprint, or go kill the coroner. I grabbed he phone off the counter, and walked strait into Kelsey's room. I sat down on her bed, and speed dialed Jake. If anyone could help, Jake could.
"Embry? I heard about Kelsey. I'm so--"
"Jake something's wrong," I interrupted him before he could get all sappy with me.
"What do you mean?"
"She's missing."
I heard him sigh. "Em, she's dead. I'm sorry, and I know its hard to believe it, but she's gone."
"I'm not talking about that! Her body's missing! The coroner said she was in the car one minute, and then when the firemen went to get stuff to pry open the doors of the car, she was gone."
"So let me guess, you want me to help find her?" he asked. He didn't sound exasperated or annoyed, just...confused.
"Please, Jake. You know how imprints work. Something's wrong."
"Alright. I'll meet you at the scene in five minutes. I have to put Ness to bed," luckily, he didn't sound tired.
"Thanks, Jake." I hung up the phone, threw it on the bed, and stormed out of the room. Seth was comforting Lindsey, who was sitting on the couch.
"Embry..?" he stared at me, then started to stand up.
"I'll be back," I ripped off my shirt as I slammed the door behind me and phased; running into the woods.
I sat, staring at her wrecked car. It was 2 am, so I wasn't scared of being seen. The tower's weren't open this late, so her car remained on the blocked off road; the extremely large pine tree still lying on top. They had pried the crushed driver's door off, which was lying next to the car, and glass with bits of metal covered the road.
I sniffed the air, and smelled the leftover scent of her. It wasn't very strong, but just enough to bring back her memories. I heard Jake's paws hitting the pavement as he trotted next to me. He sat down next to me, and looked at the wreck too.
I sighed. Thanks for coming, Jake.
He nodded.
I gritted my teeth, looked strait ahead, and took in a deep breath, as I stood up, and sniffed the little dots of her blood near the driver's seat. Jake stood up too, and walked to the other side of the car.
I sniffed the ground near the car, but couldn't pick up a trail. Embry, over here.
Jake's ears were perked as he followed a scent. I picked up it too, and looked up were I found it; the passenger seat's side. I sniffed the door, and sure enough, her scent was covered in it. Then I looked at the window, which was missing. She couldn't have....I sniffed the ground behind me, and again, it was leading towards the woods. I blinked, as Jake froze. Of all the times that a leech had to be nearby...
Em, you keep looking. I'll take care of it. He darted into the woods and disappeared in the bushes.
I sighed, and followed Kelsey's faint scent. There was something different about it. It was probably that it was so faint. The rain on the ground didn't help at all.
It suddenly became stronger as I hit the tree line. I was suddenly able to jog and follow the scent. I kept running, keeping a strong follow on the scent. Then, it stopped. I looked around where I was; The moon was shining through the break in the trees. The clearing was only covered in small plants and pine needles.
I sniffed the air to try to find her scent again, but then I smelled the bloodsucker. I didn't hear Jake any where, so I figured I could find the scent back here, and start over. Then I heard it. God, why now?
I growled as I heard something rustling in the tree in front of me. Something small and black fell out of it, and onto its feet and hands. Its red eyes were reflecting in the moonlight. I growled again, and readied myself to spring on it the instant I got. Alex wasn't getting away this time.
It stood up, but I couldn't see it's face. I snarled warningly, but it didn't even hiss or flinch. I stood up slightly, not taking my eyes off of it.
It took a step forward, so it's front was in the light; it's clothes were ripped and bloodstained. It was in bare feet, and it's skin glittered. Then I saw her face; Her eyes were red, her skin was pale, her hair was the same color, but now it was wavy. I didn't know how, or who did this to her, but as I about threw up, Kelsey blinked her red eyes, and stared at me.
