Chapter Ten: Leaving La Push.

Running a hand through her hair, Gabriela balanced her phone between her shoulder and ear while she continued to pack her bag for her trip; she chewed on her lip as she listened to what Daniel had to say.

"I know… but I have to do this," Gabriela murmured moving to sit down on the bed, she knew that he was getting worried about the amount of time she had been gone but it would all be sorted out soon. Listening to Daniel complain about the fact that she was still away on her 'mission' made Gabriela feel a little down; she had hoped that he would be a bit more supportive about what she was trying to do.

"It's a tribal thing," Gabriela protested when she heard Daniel call it rubbish, she had explained to him why she had come here and she had hoped that this would all be sorted out quicker herself. The last thing that Gabriela wanted was for another earthquake to break out every time she walked up the aisle with Daniel; she did want to marry him and this had to be done.

Gabriela had no idea why the ancestors had thought that connecting her with Jacob had been a good idea, he seemed pretty happy with Nessie and she was sure that he would rather be with her.

"Of course I want to marry you," Gabriela insisted feeling a little hurt that Daniel would feel like she was trying to duck out of marrying him by coming to La Push. Emma would never let her do such a thing and Gabriela just hoped that he believed her; she peeked over at her bag knowing that they would be leaving soon and she would have no mobile service.

"I love you and I promise I will be home soon," Gabriela murmured trying to ignore the guilt that was building up inside of her, she would be gone at least a week on this trip if the weather stayed good. Daniel had been so understanding and Gabriela was sure that he would be able to hold out a little longer before she could come home; he might not believe in spiritual stuff but she did and she wanted it to all be okay.

It was strange to think that it had nearly been a week since she had arrived in La Push, Gabriela didn't know when she would get to come back but she doubted that it would be anytime soon. Gabriela disconnected the call after a tense goodbye from Daniel, she wished that she would be able to make this right for them; she didn't want him being angry with her when she was just doing what she felt was right.

Groaning Gabriela laid back on her hotel room bed and stared at the ceiling, she had no idea why things were getting so difficult; they would hopefully all go back to normal when she headed back to San Diego.

"Are you nearly ready?" Emma asked stepping into the bedroom, she paused at the sight of Gabriela and raised an eyebrow wondering why her friend looked so tense. Jacob was waiting downstairs with the others ready to leave, he wanted to get a head start traveling to the cabin and his girlfriend was moping around getting on Emma's nerves.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Gabriela nodded her head and got to her feet; she did a final check on her bag and made sure that she had enough clothes to last her.

"Are you really sure about this?" Emma asked knowing that Daniel was not happy about her taking this trip with Jacob, he had pleaded with Emma to go with them. However, Emma doubted that Gabriela was going to cheat on Daniel, she trusted her friend and she was a little annoyed with what her brother was suggesting. Gabriela only nodded her head, she doubted that much would change while she was away with Jacob.

Glaring at Gabriela as she came out of the hotel, Nessie leant against Jacob's car and watched the woman that was nothing more than a threat to her relationship with him; she had a bad feeling about this. Embry came to stand next to her, he watched Jacob talking with Sam about what needed to be done while he was away with Gabriela; it was going to be an interest week with him gone.

"What are you going to do?" Embry asked not looking at Nessie, he knew that things were changing for her and he dreaded to think what would happen if she followed Jacob and Gabriela on this trip. Embry had a sneaky suspicion about why the ancestors wanted them to take this trip, it had little to do with breaking the connection in his mind.

"Head home for a week… my aunt is desperate for me to come back," Nessie muttered crossing her arms, she had hoped to stay here but Alice had made it clear that she needed to come home.

Apparently Nahuel was desperate to see her and from what Nessie could understand her parents wanted her to be pleasant with the other hybrid. It wasn't really a secret that Bella and Edward were hoping that Nessie would choose a vampire mate over the imprint that she had with Jacob; they were almost determined to cut Bella's best friend from their lives without a second thought.

"He has a right to know Nessie," Embry muttered remembering what he had overheard on the phone, it had been a nasty shock to learn that Alice saw Nessie with Nahuel instead of her future with Jacob. The imprint was unravelling and it was clear whatever bond that Nessie was trying to deny with the other hybrid was a lot stronger than she was letting herself admit.

Nessie didn't say a word, she hated that Embry knew her secret when she hadn't even told Jacob that her family were convinced that she was better suited for Nahuel than she had ever been with him. It stung especially since Nessie had planned out her future with Jacob and it had been something that she had dreamed about for years now; she wanted the future more than anything that Alice might have seen for her.

"When will you tell her?" Nessie asked changing the subject, she was going back home to her family to prove that she wasn't meant for Nahuel and then she would come back to Jacob. Looking at Emma, Nessie couldn't help but wonder how the blonde was going to take the news that she was an imprint and that everyone around her was supernatural.

Embry sighed and watched his imprint, he had a feeling that Nessie's actions were only going to get Jacob hurt much like her mother had done when she had chosen Edward. The imprint seemed to be a curse for Jacob, he was forever bound to Bella in some way if it remained and no one wanted to see Jacob suffer anymore.

"Soon," Embry muttered knowing that it would take him time to tell Emma that he was a shape-shifter, he had about a week to do it and he wasn't sure what would happen after that week. Gabriela walked out of the hotel and flashed Jacob a nervous smile, he took her bag for her while she moved to say goodbye to Emma; she just hoped this trip worked like she wanted it to.

"I'll see you soon," Gabriela murmured as she hugged her best friend, she flashed her a smile before moving to get into the car with Jacob and Quil. Leaning back in her seat, Gabriela peeked at the people that were gathered and she couldn't help but feel like there was something that she was missing right now. It was going to be an interesting trip and the sooner that it was over, the sooner she could head back to Daniel and marry him.
