Chapter 10- Fire and Ice
Everything went dark after what Jeremy had said. I don't remember much. Every so often I would come round to near consciousness' feeling cold and wet. Water was running down my face but I had made no move to shelter myself from the on coming downpour. After a while I could register howling then a gather of uproar from people around me. I tried to open my eyes or at least tried to lift my head, but my muscles refused to respond.
"We got to get him to the hospital"
"Where's Quil?"
"That's his blood, smells like him."
"Shit what the hell happened?"
"I'm going to rip that bloodsucker to shred's."
I remembered someone trying to call me. I tried to talk but my brain was disconnected from the rest of my body. I was floating in a pull of warmth, happily content, until I was pulled back under.
"Claire?"
Someone was trying to call me back to the surface. I recognised the voice but couldn't remember whose.
"Claire Darling? Try and wake up."
After that everything went dark again.
This time I woke to heat. My sensations where coming back for I thought I could smell muffin's baking. I opened one eye to check my surroundings. Cream walls or maybe it was magnolia? There was a pine cupboard and chest of drawers over in the far corner. The red curtains were drawn blocking out what little light there was. It was growing dark. I was at Emily and Sam's house, in their guest room.
I was too exhausted to move. I laid there until I got all feeling back into my skin. My throat aced and my head hurt. The house was completely silent, nothing was stirring. It was unusual I could usually make out people talking. Flash backs began, my brain trying to understand them. Jeremy hurt by a tree and him explaining what happen. Quil was hurt out there bitten by a leech. All I could picture was the red eyes that took him away from me.
I tried to get up. My arms and legs still wouldn't respond. I had to take a minute until I was able to move. My body felt jelly like. How long had I been sleeping? I had to go find him. I sat up sending sparks through my head. As I walked slowly to the bedroom door, it was like a baby taking it's first steps. I could hear the front door opening and closing. Murmurs of people began. My brain tried to process what they were saying but I was still too weak.
I reached to the landing when the voices stopped. There were a few squeaks of the chair. I could hear footprints coming closer.
"Claire your awake" it was Emily. She hurried up the stairs towards me putting her arm around me helping me down. Sam stood at the bottom, his face grave.
"How long have I been out?"
"A day, we tried to wake you but you were to far gone."
"Quil?"
"They're still looking for him."
I was surprised I was taking this well. I felt numb even with all the pain shooting through my body.
"Your friend, we had to take him to hospital. He was hurt."
Oh God I completely forgot about Jeremy being hurt.
"How is he? He is doing ok?"
"Just a few broken ribs, broken arm and a few cuts and scrapes."
Emily brought me into the living room. Jake was already sitting there, waiting for me. Sam sat with him and they both looked on at me with sadden expressions. Emily bustled about bringing me food and water. I was slightly dehydrated and my stomach was rumbling with hunger so I took it gladly.
"Claire you're going to have to tell us all that happened." Jake began
"We need to know every single detail, so we know how we can find Quil."
"Can you not hear his thoughts? He was in wolf form last time I heard." Remembering back to when Jeremy said about the wolf. Jeremy must of seen Quil phase. I was going to have to go see him and make sure he won't tell.
"We keep phasing to see if we can register any of his thoughts but nothing has appeared. The Vampires trail has disappeared as well. We don't know where they are. I've Embry, Seth and Brady out there now checking"
"We need you to explain what happened. None of the pack where in their wolf forms, when it happened." Sam spoke this time.
I took a deep breath before I told them what Jeremy had seen. When I got to the part about Quil I couldn't fight back the tears.
"Shit that bloodsucker bit Quil"
"I haven't heard anything like this before. I don't think there's anything about it in the Legends."
"What will happen to him?" I spoke
Sam was silent for moment thinking.
"We're not sure about that but I do have a theory"
"What is it?" Jake asked with as much interest as me.
Sam's eyes searched my face. His face grew with worry.
"I'm not sure if you'll like this"
"Just tell me"
"Well it's been said that Fire always ruled out Ice, but what if the Ice could find a way to penetrate fire?. What would happen to the Fire?" (I made this up ignore it if you wish, an better explanation will come)
I wasn't sure what way Sam was going with this. I sat there with the look of confusion on my face. Jake was the same until his face grew in Horror.
"The fire would die out"
I was confused by this. I could never work out cryptic clues, until it smacked me right hard in the face.
"Quil could die" I gasped.
"We don't know for sure but we need to get him back ASAP. Werewolves have a high metabolism, which is why we have a high temperature. The Bloodsucker's are cold. If they bit a werewolf, it won't make a werewolf turn but it would do some serious damage to our system. It's would be like an illness such as cancer for example. It would be our only weakness"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing Quil could die.
