(Sam POV)
"Well, Mr. Uley... Embry must have had an Angel on his side. He made it." He said with soft smile.
I put my head in my hands as I felt my eyes water with tears of joy. I couldn't believe it. I could hear everyone breath a sigh of relief.
"It's a miracle. I had to sedate him to ease the pain, but he'll wake up in about 24 hours." He continued.
God, no one could explain the emotions that I was feeling. I thanked the Doc with as much gratitude as I could. He may be a leech, but he saved my imprints life. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. HE was going to be ok. I silently thanked what ever angel had been looking after Embry.
"When can we see him?" I asked.
"Well, he's not awake. But you can see him. He's in a private room in ICU. Only a few at a time, though." I nodded, and got up to follow him, and heard someone trailing behind me.
We got to the door if Embry's room before the Doc left us alone. I hesitated at opening the door.
"What's with you and Embry?" Asked Leah, as she was the one who followed me. I looked at her.
"What?"
"Don't play stupid Sam. The others may have been to preoccupied, but I know what went down at the fight. You imprinted on the kid. Listen, I'm only gonna say this once, Emily is not always what she seems." She said.
I frowned.
"Whataya mean?" I asked. She spoke lowly to me,
"What I'm trying to say is, don't hurt the kid in hopes on sparing Emily's feelings. I've known her all my life. She always comes off sweet and innocent. But she's far from it. There's another reason why I was pissed at you for leaving me. It's 'cause I knew Emily was putting up a façade to get you to fall for her. And I knew you never really imprinted. Yeah, I know 'bout false imprinting.
And that's what ya did 'cause of her front. And I'm not just sayin' this 'cause I'm jealous or any shit. 'Cause I'm sure as hell not. But Embry is a good kid. Puts my brother to shame at how innocent he is. So if you better not hurt Embry 'cause you don't wanna 'hurt Emily's feelings.' 'Cause trust me, she'll be even more pissed, and she'll be doin' the hurtin'. And you'll feel like shit 'cause Embry was the one who paid the price." She finished.
Was it true? Was Emily really like that? I don't know. I would find out. Leah gave me a soft smile.
"Now get in there. And when your done, we're gettin' somthin' to eat. 'Cause I know you. Your not gonna leave the room till he wakes. So I might as well do what Embry would do and make you eat when your finished in there. I can literally hear your stomach." And with that, she disappeared down the halls, probably to kind a vending machine.
I rolled my eyes, and made my way into room. I saw Embry. It was a heartbreaking sight, really. There were all sorts of monitors and needles hooked up to him. He had a ventilator taped to his mouth, which I knew was breathing for him. I saw the monitor with his heart rate, which was beating calm and steady. Despite everything attached to him, he still looked peaceful... and beautiful.
I walked closer so I was standing next to him. I moved my hand, as gently as possible, and ran a finger over the smooth skin on his face, as the cuts and bruises had already healed, but a row of stitches in his hair. It was the internal damage that scared me. I ran my fingers over the tanned skin, careful as possible as not to touch the ventilator.
I ran my eyes over his body. His arms laid peacefully on his sides, one covered with white plaster, and the other with only a few bruises that were still healing. The rest of his body was covered with a white blanket. I don't think I'd want to see what other damage was done to his legs and ribs. I knew I shouldn't have let him fight. I just knew it. I knew from the get-go that he wasn't focused and was in no condition to fight.
I sighed. I haven't felt like this since I scarred Emily's face. While I felt guilt that no human could possibly handle, I have never been more scared of losing someone as I did, waiting to hear news of Embry's condition in the waiting room. With Embry, things were different. And that was because Embry was different.
Embry was a rare breed. He did almost anything for anyone, and asked nothing in return. Some people admired the quality, and some took advantage. Sometime Embry didn't even realize people would use him, and sometimes he was stubborn as hell and would show a rare feisty side. I had always looked for people who would use Embry, and put them in their place. And if you've met someone who you think is sweet, shy and innocent. Then you have to meet Embry, 'cause I guarantee, he'll put them to shame.
And that is exactly why he didn't deserve this. It always seemed like trouble found Embry when he wasn't looking for it... which was always. Yet for some reason, a sick twist of fate decided to do this to him. But in a sick kind of way, if he was never attacked, I probably would have never imprinted on him. And this time, I didn't feel any regrets.
I still didn't know what ri do about Emily. I didn't know if what Leah said was true. As if on cue, the she wolf entered the room. She glanced at Embry and grimaced and looked away. I knew she was bitter, but I also knew she had a soft spot for her pack brothers.
"Alright Sam, you've in here for 2 hours. Now lets walk."
Was it really that long? Anyway, as much as I didn't wanna leave Embry, I wanted some answers on this whole Emily thing. I followed her out of the room and to the elevator. She pressed the floor with the cafeteria and before I knew it, we were sitting down in a secluded part of the hospital cafeteria. She slid over a cup of coffee and gave me a knowing look.
"Listen, I knew you think what I said about Emily is a big lie." He stated. I sighed.
"Well, you come in and tell me my former imprint has been lying to me this whole time. I was in love with her at one point." I said.
"No, were in love with her façade. Listen Sam, she's my cousin. I know her. At one point, we were like sisters. But I know her. I knew that when started to get friendly with Embry, she was startin' to get jealous. And a jealous Emily, and a deadly Emily. I know from experience. She was jealous of one of my past beau's. So ya know what she did? She told him I had herpes, and that's what was on my face, when it was just acne. But as she got older, her little tricks got more dangerous."
I listened, interested as she continued,
"It went from spreading rumors, to spray painting cars and houses. From that, it went from slashing car tires, or one time, she stole a car, took it to the junk yard, and had it crushed into tin can."
I stared at her incredulously.
"How the hell did she get away with all that?" I asked. She sighed.
"Well, I was her cousin. I was confused on whether to tell someone or not. I decided to just drop her form my life. Until that holiday reunion...you imprinted, yada yada yada. Anyway, do you see how dangerous she can get just by jealousy? Now, I don't know what would happen if you dropped her. But you can't hurt Embry either." She explained.
"So what do I do? Either way, someone's gonna get hurt." I said, thinking of how to get out of this.
"Well, you can not hurt Embry by staying with Emily. Embry is way more important than Emily. You'll have to keep a close watch on Embry." She suggested.
"But I thought she would go after me." I was confused.
"Two hours ago, I said 'Embry would pay the price.' I meant it. Emily is gonna go after what's closest to you. You can't let her get to Embry Sam. And you may think that she's just a human and can't do shit. But If I know Emily, she has help... from the inside." She said. I frowned.
"One of the pack?" I asked. She shrugged.
"Maybe."
"Wait. How do I know she hasn't already gotten to Embry?" I asked. She gave me look that said 'That's a good question.'
"Only one way to find out. Talk to Embry."
