Ella's POV

I reached Emily's house in next to no time, I was right about the location I knew exactly where it was. My knees were wobbling as I knocked on the old wooden door. What if they didn't like me? What if what if…

It was too late a petite dark skinned dark haired woman answered the door.

"Hi there you must be Ella?" I nodded "I'm Emily" I reached out my hand to shake hers but she grasped me into a hug "come here don't feel so nervous" and she ushered me inside.

I recognised many of the people around the table, Quil with Claire on his lap, Jared with his arm around Kim, Paul kissing a very happy looking Vanessa and two other mysterious people. One was built like a brick and couldn't be denied a man he must be Sam I thought to myself. And the other was muscled but his face was child like so I assumed he must be Seth.

As soon as Vanessa noticed me she pulled apart from Paul whom looked very upset about that and came over. She smiled warmly at me before hugging me tightly; did all of these people greet others with such…enthusiasm?

She dragged me over to the table,

"Foods out" Emily announced bringing the biggest dish of lasagne I've ever seen onto the table. She saw me looking astonished and laughed,

"The guys as you might already know eat an awful lot so I always make" she paused looking at the dish "quite a bit."

The lads all piled mountains of lasagne onto plates and ate more than I'd ever seen anyone eat. I couldn't eat a lot I was too nervous, where was Embry? Emily had said he wouldn't be long so where was he?

I barley had a few forkfuls of lasagne before Emily brought dozens of muffins out fresh from the oven.

Jared grabbed one in each had before dropping them to the floor,

"They're HOT!" He exclaimed,

"Well duh" a voice mocked and we all turned our heads. It was Jake's voice and he was grinning and wearing only a pair of denim shorts. My heart skipped a beat,

"Where's Embry?" I asked hoping and jut wishing,

"Embry's gone…to a better place." Jake's face was a perfect mask of sadness before a force knocked him forward and he began to laugh.

"You can't get rid of me that easily" I knew this voice and out popped Embry, my Embry.

His face lit up like a thousand suns and I felt so dam special because he was smiling at me.

"Ella" he ran to me and scooped me up into his arms, ok maybe this whole group friendliness wasn't such a bad thing after all. "We'll talk but first…" he looked at me cheekily "I need some sustenance."

He swiftly gathered up four muffins "run!" We ran outside laughing all the way,

"Do you want a muffin?" But before I could answer Embry shoved a muffin into my mouth, now that Embry was here I suddenly felt really ravenous.

After a few more minutes of messing around we both finished our muffin, or rather I finished my muffin and Embry finished his muffins.

"Embry I need you to tell me, I need to be able to understand. There's something you're not telling me please…"

Embry looks sad and his peaceful fun loving face changed to one of utter despair.

"Ella I…" I took his hand to try and reassure him "Ella I've got a secret but I don't want to scare you…"

"You won't scare me but I need to know" I'm tried to sound confident and kind but my voice came out a bare whisper "I love you."

"I love you too babes and that's why I need to tell you about me. In the Quilete legends our tribe are descendents from wolves so erm what I'm trying to tell you is that I'm erm a werewolf."

My mouth wouldn't work and my brain couldn't think of any words for my mouth to say, I'm froze in that state.

"Ella say something please" I wished that I could speak to him but I literally couldn't function.

"Everything in my life was perfect, my sister had come back, I had a boyfriend and now…now…" I could not control my anger any longer "this is going to change everything" was the best I could come up with.

I needed to get away,

"I've got to, got to go" and with that I ran into the forest. He lied to me, he pretended, what if he was pretended about loving me?

I just couldn't stand it anymore, my sister, and my boyfriend all lies.

I was lost; I mean fully I don't know where I am lost not just unsure about what direction to go in lost. My feet ached; I felt as if I'd been walking for hours whereas in reality it had only been five minutes.

At first I could tell that Embry was following me but luckily I think I lost him.

Then out of the blue I saw Katy, she was just stood there staring at me.

"Katy what are you doing? How are you here I…"

"Don't be so confused little sister; I'm here to protect you. Your boyfriends dangerous you know? You do know that he's a werewolf?"

I nodded as she stepped closer and closer to me, "I'm the one you love, I'm your sister and he's just a pathetic boyfriend. I would never harm you like he would, but please I'm a little thirsty. You want to help your sister don't you?"

I nodded again too mesmerized by her scent, her voice, her eyes.

"Please just let me" she whispered to me. I could hear her breath on my neck and she licked my collarbone. My common sense kicked in and I drew a step back away from her,

"You want to harm me, Embry wouldn't…"

"But you can't be sure" Katy purred.

"Yes she can" a voice so soft and sexy, my voice, my Embry, I turned around and faced Embry who stood over me protectively. He was here, he had followed me and he'd found me.

At that moment I knew, I knew Embry wouldn't ever harm me. I reached out and grabbed his hand and he wrapped his arm around me, and I thought to myself this is where I belong…

What will happen in the next chapter, will Katy proceed in her evil plans? Or will the wolves strike all? Who will die? Who will lie? Ok that sounded really cheesy but please tell me what you think in your reviews (hint cough hint.)

Foreverblonde Away!
