Chapter 13

Amanda POV

After a very long 'discussion' Embry and I decided on a lazy day at his house. He had gotten his own small house two years ago, deciding it was time to leave the nest. About time I say. I mean the guy still looks like a teenager but he's a grown man. He doesn't need to live with mama anymore. I look over my shoulder at the boy who clouds my thoughts almost every second of everyday. His face is trained on the TV screen, but I know he's watching me. I kiss him just under his chin, snuggling up to his chest. A smile covers his face and he beams at the TV. His arms holding me extremely close. "I don't want this to end. I wish we didn't have to fight in a big battle. I wish we could have normal lives. Mostly I wish I could sit right here, in your arms and never have to move."

Embry squeezes his eyes shut, sitting up with me in his lap,"I know baby. I wish you didn't have to go through all this. Facts are we have to fight this battle. You and your sisters will lead the pack and we will get rid of this threat to you."

"Embry it's a threat to the world not just us."

He growls,"Screw that. You are my world!"

I look into his hostile eyes with teary ones of my own,"I'm you world?"

His face softens and he lays his forehead on mine,"Always."

I place a hand on each of his cheeks and kiss his lips ever so softly. I don't know how this battle will end, or even if I will live through it. All I know is that I will save Embry no matter what that means. Always.

Camellia POV

I gather up all my anger, aiming it at a boulder about ten feet from me. Opening my eyes I for my hands forward, all my built up anger running through them. A green light shoots from my hand, hitting the enormous boulder. Seeing the result I stomp my feet and squeal in frustration. "Haven't seen that sense you where five. Whats wrong?"

I turn and look at Seth. My beautiful Seth. He's wearing his classic cut offs and no shirt or shoes. Arms crossed over his chest. Eyebrows quirk as he leans on a tree, waiting for my answer.

"It won't crumble." I wave towards the giant boulder. Seth pushes off his perch and walks over to it, hands in his pockets. He bends over, bringing one hand up to rub his chin. "Hmm."

"Hmm?"

He turns to me with a smile,"You chipped a piece off as big as my fist. Great job!"

"That was not what I was trying to do! I'm trying to SHATTER it. Not chip it." I huff, crossing my arms and turning my back to him.

"Are you pouting like a five year old?"

I try my best to hold back my giggle,"I'm five and three quarters thank you very much!"

He chuckles, coming to wrap his arms around me. Propping his chin on my shoulder, he leans his head towards me,"Well I'm very sorry. Baby your tired. You've been out here training for five hours. Not to mention being up all day yesterday and all night last night. You need rest."

I close my eyes, turning my face away from his,"I can't."

"And why not?"

I sigh."I can't rest until I'm stronger. Right now my power over my element is the weakest. I've got the brains for the attack methods, but my power in my ability to control the earth around me is pitiful."

Seth turns me to face him, arms going around me."What has that got to do with resting?"

I look up at him with teary eyes,"I can't protect you. I'm not strong enough."

"Oh baby." He jerks me to him, holding me tight."You don't have to protect me. It's my job to protect you. Nothing is going to happen to either of us."

"Promise?"

He holds my face in his large warm hands. His big brown eyes looking into mine,"I swear."

I smile as he kisses me. We walk back to his house hand in hand. After watching two movies, we both fall asleep in each others arms.

Angelica POV

Why me? Why? How am I the one this has to happen to every time? "Brady. Honey. It was a joke. Please put her down."

"No." He holds her up higher, over the side of the cliff. The dark water crashing below. "Brady you know how much she means to me!"

"Oh so you love her more than me now?"

"NO! I just..Brady give her to me PLEASE!"

"Ugh fine." Brady grumbles handing my guitar back to me. I squeal, taking it from him quickly/ "It's okay baby. The big bad man gave you back and won't ever hurt you."

Brady flops down next to me, putting his hands behind his head."I swear you love that thing more than me sometimes."

I smile down at him,"Well who do you think I run to when you upset me huh? Rosie here has been with me through it all."

Brady raised an eye brown,"Jake only gave it to you when he left with the vamp squad."

"Your point?"

Brady just shakes his head smiling. Reaching out with one arm, he pulls me on top of him,kissing the top of my head. We lay there on the cliff, watching the sun sink lower and lower in the sky.

Chasity POV

After many many MANY minutes begging, Collin finally agreed to go running with me down the beach. I love it! I can feel the wind all over when I run. Plus running is fun in general! The sand crunching under your feet as you try to get faster. The struggle to not fall on the loose ground. Trying to beat your running partner. Which for me is impossible. Stupid wolf-y magic-y power thingy-s! We'd been running for a good hour when I stop and face the water, falling onto my back in the sand. "Chas?"

I smile, knowing Collin can see it."I'm fine Col. Just want to lay here and relax awhile. Feel the wind. Ya know relax."

"I know what relaxing is."

I open one eye to look up at him. His muscles are tense and he's looking around carefully. "Coulda fooled me."

His face jerks down, shooting me a glare before looking around again. I sigh, rolling my eyes. Reaching up, I pull him face down in the sand and plant myself on his butt. He stiffens immediately. I run up his bare back to his shoulders, leaning down to his ear. "See your not relaxed. Your a board under my butt! Now take a deep breath and relax." I kiss his temple and sit back up. I start giving him a deep muscle massage. Which is very hard to do with his big over size wolf-y muscles. Soon though, he begins to relax, which makes it easier. Before I know it, he's snoring softly. I just keep massaging his back and shoulders. He's running himself to death keeping me safe. My sisters and me. Well all of us. He puts the weight of everything on himself to protect me. It's time he took a breather and relaxed. Recharge his batteries. It soon got dark, but I didn't wake him up. The pack came up not to long after the sun went down. Paul goes to say something. I glare, putting my finger up to my lips. The signal to shut your mouth. Pointing down, they all chuckle as Collin snorts at the end of a snore. The guys come over and wait for me to get up before carrying Collin to my room. Placing him on my bed they all smile and hug me before heading home themselves. I change and crawl into bed next to my sleeping wolf. He grunts in his sleep, wrapping his arms around me and turning me between him and the wall. I kiss his cheek. Even in his sleep, he's protecting me.

Authors Note: I'm Sorry! This was simply a blah chapter to go between the training chapters with Jasper! That's why it's so short. Thanks for putting up with it anyway. And for reading! You can review if you would like:) I'd appreciate it!:)
