Hi everyone! I'm just gonna start the story quickly! I don't own Twilight (duh.) If I did that be awesome tho (double duh). Enjoy! =)
Chapter 10
"Hello, girls." Ember sneered. "How nice to see you here." A girl with light brown hair and dark blue eyes came out of the forest next to Ember.
"Hi, Ember. And you must be Jenna. I'm your sister, Lawrea. And these are my friends, Nessie and Kat." I smiled and waved. She growled at me, just loud enough to hear.
"I have no family. You're the ones who killed my father, and now I'm going to kill you."
"Well, that was blunt." Kat muttered.
"We have no time for pleasantries. I assume you know why we're here?" Ember asked, and smirked.
"Well, yeah. She kinda just gave it away, even if we didn't know." Nessie said. Ember's smirk got larger and larger until it wasn't even a smile anymore, or rather just a showing of teeth.
"Then let's do this already." Jenna seemed to pair up with me, while Nessie and Kat took Ember on.
"You're going to die today." Jenna said simply, and charged me from across the meadow.
"Stupid. You never charge somebody head on, always let them make the first move." I told her, and then used her force to throw her head on into a tree.
Jenna stood up slowly, and looked at me with murderous eyes.
"Fine." I opened my arms wide. "Take a hit. It'll be the only one you get though." She charged me again, and went for my abdomen.
"Off limits." I said, before pushing her to the ground. I glanced over to see how Ness and Kat were doing. Ember seemed to be losing by just a little bit, taken over by numbers, rather than force.
I was suddenly launched into the air, and thrown into the forest surrounding the meadow. Trees scraped my hands and one branch broke as I fell to the ground. I landed on my back with a loud thud.
I vaguely heard the fight between Ember, Ness, and Kat begin to go bad. Jenna was probably helping Ember now, since I was out of the way in her mind. I stood up, and I was a little sore, but I wasn't going to stop until I was dead.
As soon as I got back to the meadow, I saw that Ember and Jenna basically had victory in their grasp. I ran towards Ember, who was about to attack Kat, and jumped on her back. I screamed as she grabbed my wrists and slammed me on my back with unspeakable force. That would bring up a few broken ribs.
Ember smiled down at me as I started to get up.
"I don't think so, hon." She stepped on my shoulder, and I had no choice but to lay there and wait for death.
"Kat!" I yelled and she looked at me, laying on the ground and screamed. "Kat! Tell Embry I love him, please!"
"No, because you're not going to die!" She screamed back, and ran towards Ember. She ninja kicked (AN: the real Kat's idea) her off of me, and I got up as quickly as I could.
Ness was holding her own with Jenna, I'd even say she was winning. I knew I would have to face Ember, after all the predictions, this was it. Kat was trying to fight Ember, but it wasn't working very well. I jumped in, and Ember didn't seem to know what to do with both of us.
She tried pushing Kat into a tree, but before she could, I would push her into that tree. Then she would turn on me, and Kat had my back.
"Lawrea?" I heard from my right. I turned for two seconds, and saw Embry standing there, looking at me.
"Embry?" I asked, stunned. What was he doing here? He was supposed to be at home with the kids! "Please tell me Korey and Kevay aren't here!" I turned back to Ember, who was running towards Nessie. Kat was lying under a tree, dazed.
"No, of course not! The kids are with Esme!" Embry told me, as I ran towards Ember, who had just met up with Nessie.
"Leave them to that, Ember. You and I have a personal score to settle." I told her calmly, as she stared at me curiously.
"Fine." She obviously knew she would kick my ass at this, so there wasn't much to worry about for her, but I had to try, for my family.
Jenna threw Nessie into the woods, and came towards me to help kill me. I turned to her, ran, and shoved her far enough that this battle would be well over before she got here.
"Lawrea!" Embry yelled to me. I flicked my eyes towards him for a second before looking back at Ember.
"Later, Embry!" I yelled back.
"Lawrea, please! I can't stand to see you hurt!" I glanced at him again, but otherwise ignored him.
"Is this your boyfriend? The wolf Stven used to talk about? I think I owe him a personal thank you." Ember said.
Embry suddenly collapsed.
"Embry!" I screeched, my voice going up two octaves in fear.
"He'll be dead in a few minutes. Oh, and I'll make sure he feels some pain." She smiled evilly at me. Red clouded my vision, and I began to run towards her.
"I'm death for you!" I screamed, as I moved faster than I ever have in my entire life. "Death will not be cheated! You kill my husband, you kill my friends, and you WILL die!"
Ember began to become consumed by my one-woman attack. I ripped off a hand, then an ear, and then a leg, until finally, I tore her completely apart. I ran towards Embry as soon as she stopped fighting.
His breathing was labored, and his eyes were closed, but he was still alive for now. I knelt down next to him and hugged him close, and his face contorted in pain.
"Embry!" I called into his face, and I began to cry. "Embry, please, wake up! I need you! Korey, and Kevay, they need you!"
"I can help." I heard from behind. I turned and through my tears I recognized Jenna.
"Why would you help?" I asked, and hiccupped.
"This has shown me just how bad Ember really was. She was ready to make a cheap shot to distract you and then kill you. Just let me help, please? I need to do something." Jenna told me.
"Fine." I let her go to Embry, while I went back towards Kat.
"Kat? Katime? Are you okay?" I asked her.
"I . . . I think so . . . ." She whispered hoarsely.
"Can you get up?"
"Yeah, one sec." She slowly stood, leaning on me heavily. I bought her towards Embry and Jenna.
"Hold on here, I'm going to go find Nessie."
"I'll go get her." Jenna offered. "I know where she's at. And I've done everything I can for your husband, and trust me, that's a lot."
"Okay. Be careful though, Ness might try to fight you." I warned.
"I figured. I'll be back. With your friend." Jenna darted into the forest. I knelt back down between Embry and Kat.
"Embry? Can you hear me? Can you try to open your eyes for me, honey?" I heard him breathing, still heavily, but I knew he was still in there somewhere.
"Lawrea . . ." He whispered, so quiet I almost missed it. Then the impossible happened. He slowly opened his eyes, and stared into my tear stained face . . . and he smiled at me.
"Embry!" I shouted, tears of happiness streaming down my face. "Embry, I love you! I will never let you go!" I held him close to me.
"Lawrea?" I heard from the edge of the forest. I looked up, and Ness was coming out. "Lawrea – Omigod! What happened? Is Embry okay?" She rushed towards me.
"Y-yeah. He's alive. Thanks to Jenna." She came out behind Nessie. "Jenna, I don't know what you did, but you saved Embry's life today, and I am eternally thankful."
"You're welcome. It's my gift, by the way. That's how I saved him. My gift is to bring back the almost dead. I know why I was given that gift now. To save my sister's husband from the vampire who felt like my mom." She smiled sadly.
"I'm not sorry for killing her if that's an apology you're looking for. I would make the same choice a thousand times over, even if I died at the end. I do think you for saving him, though." I told her.
"I didn't want an apology. I figured you would die for him, because I can tell you love him dearly."
"Hello. Jenna's your name? I believe we haven't been formally introduced. I'm your brother-in-law." Embry reached out his hand to shake as he leaned against my lap. Jenna smiled and took his hand.
"Yes, I'm Jenna. Nice to meet you Embry." I looked between their smiling faces, and knew that this was a new beginning, and hopefully a happier one.
