Thought I should spoil you guys! Luv Ya'll Lots!
Seth's POV
As I phased, I looked behind me to see Embry who had already phased and was on my tail. I rolled my eyes.
Leave me alone, Embry.
Seth, you need to talk about it man. He urged and trotted up to my side.
I don't have to talk about anything.
She's not going to leave you. He looked at me.
I rolled my eyes. I knew that. I wasn't stupid. But I was concerned that Darin was getting a little too close to my fiancée. It didn't matter to me if he was her friend as a kid or not. He was crossing the line.
I know. It's him that I don't trust. I grit my teeth as I picked up my pace a bit, heading deeper into the woods.
I can see why, he agreed. Maybe you should just try to get along. Just until after your wedding.
Easier said than done, I sighed.
Embry nodded and sighed too. It'll be alright, Man. She'll be yours in two days and then he can't touch her.
Who said she won't-
He let out a soft growl and stopped me. Don't even start with me.
I sat down when we reached the edge of the creek that I would walk to. Before I was engaged to Lindsey, I would come out here to think and let out my emotions. It was dorky since it was so beautiful, but it reminded me of Lindsey; there were flowers of all colors and butterflies. It was just like her.
I'm just saying. He's more of a pain in the ass than my sister. I growled softly as Embry sat across from me.
Embry suddenly growled.
I sat up and looked at him. What the hell? What did I-
Wait. Shh. Embry stood up and walked past me, sniffing the air.
Embry...what is it...?
He lowered himself as he sniffed the ground, then shot up with his teeth bared. They've been here.
Who? I asked and stood up nervously. What was he talking about?
We need to go. We need to get Kelsey and everyone else. Now. Without another word, Embry bounded past me. Something was wrong.
I ran after him but he seemed to fly over the ground. Embry! What's going on!
He growled as he ran. I'll explain later.
Like I said. Something was definitely wrong.
"Kelsey!" Embry burst through the door with me close behind him. "KELSEY!"
"Embry what the hell is-" I tried to keep up as he ran through the house.
"Embry?"
Kels stood at the top of the stairs with Ari on her hip.
"Kels, they're here," he breathed heavily as he looked up at her.
She knew what he was talking about. She set Ari down and appeared at the bottom of the stairs in a flash. "Where?"
"At the creek out in the woods."
"Did you see them?" Kels had flashed out her phone and had started dialing a number in lightning speed.
"No, but their scent was everywhere."
"Will somebody please tell me what's going on!" I stopped them and looked between their faces.
Kels was busy talking into her phone while Embry looked up at Arianna then back to me. "There's a reason we didn't come back here right away, Seth..."
I felt like I was just hit in the stomach with a rock. Didn't they want to come back? Why was the reason? "What are you talking about, Embry?" I asked blankly.
"Hey, what's going on in here?" Lindsey asked, walking up behind me and taking my hand. "Seth are you ok?"
"Where's Darin?" I asked, trying not to be a jerk.
"He left. He said he wanted to go get some new clothes or something," Iz replied.
"Emmett and Jasper are coming back early. They'll be here tonight," Kels interrupted.
"What's going on, Embry?" I snapped. This was getting ridiculous.
"We had a- Air, honey go upstairs, Mommy will be there in a bit," Kelsey looked over at Ari who was on the bottom step.
"I saw people Mommy," she said in her small voice.
Kels and Embry froze and exchanged glances. "What did you say, Sweetheart?" Embry asked, crouching down so he was at eye level with his daughter.
"I saw people. In the woods," she answered.
Embry picked her up as she wrapped her arms around her neck. I didn't realize until now how big she's gotten. She's only been alive for just over a year and she already looked like she was eight or nine years old. She had proven to me several times how smart she was, and I've seen her practicing her 'skill.'
Lindsey squeezed my hand and I pulled her against me. All thoughts of Darin and her were out of my mind. "Embry. Please tell us what's going on here."
Embry sighed and held Ari up a little more. "We..had problems at the house just after we moved...There were vampires coming at least every night. One night Kels went out to see what they wanted and they attacked. Every night after that the Cullen's, Kels and I would go out to fight them. Most of the time they wouldn't tell us a thing. But after a while this one couple...I- we think they're brother and sister, were the only one's attacking. We had them one night...and we figured out what they wanted..."
My stomach was in knots. Vampires? Attacks? Fighting? It was all coming at me so fast. But then it seemed like Lindsey's hand grew tighter even when it didn't. Lindsey. If this was going where I thought it was going...She might be in danger. Again. And this time I had a feeling if she was bit that we wouldn't be so lucky.
"...They're avenging the clan that we killed last year. The ones that bit Iz." Embry said grimly.
I felt like I was going to throw up.
"Daddy. You said there was a brother and sister?" Ari asked as she poked Embry's chest.
He nodded.
"I think I saw the sister," Ari jumped down out of her daddy's arms onto the floor. She then 'transformed' into a 5'4 woman with blonde curly hair, red eyes, and vintage clothes.
Kels gasped loudly and Embry took her hand. "It is her..." she confirmed.
Ari turned back and ran into her mother's arms.
"What are we going to do?" Linds asked beside me. "What do they want from us?"
Kelsey and Embry exchanged worried glances. "They want us all dead."
All hell was breaking lose, and Lindsey and my wedding was in two days. Could it get any more worse?
