East.

"Okay Embry let's go."

Embry lets out a huge smile and starts walking towards the car, I notice his smile turns into one that is almost like Paul's mischievous smile.

"I'm driving!"

"What?! Are you crazy no this is my car!"

"I called it."

Before I know it he's shut the trunk and is already in the driver's seat adjusting it to fit his size. I throw my head back but I can't help but let a smile grace my face. I turn to the passenger side of the car and slide in. I place the keys in Embry's waiting hands, I don't even want to see that smug look.

"So did you leave any kind of note for Sam and Emily?"

"No. I was going to call them."

"Well how 'bout this you go run in write some sort a note."

"Why we're in the car can't we go?"

"Kass I'm gonna need clothes."

"Oh. Right" I give Embry a sheepish smile.

"But what if when you're gone they come back and…"

"Kass Billy hasn't even started the stories yet. So you're good."

I look out the window back out the house and I shake my head.

"I can't do this."

I go to open the door but Embry's hand reaches and closes the door. I look over at him shocked, this isn't his normal behavior.

"Please Kass. Don't back out. Do this with me please."

I sit there staring at him, he's giving me a pleading look I'm so confused. This isn't happy Embry, this is a totally different side that I have never seen and I'm worried.

"Okay. But I'm not going back in that house."

"Fine I'll go just wait here okay."

With that Embry leaves the car and starts towards the house. I realize that he left the keys in the ignition, so I roll down the window.

"Embry, you're going to need keys I locked the house."

"It's called the back door." And with that he runs to the back of the house. Oh.

I sit there and wait, the silence is starting to kill me my mind is running. This isn't just me anymore its Embry. I turn on the radio and my Avenged Sevenfold CD starts playing the song "Seize the Day". I lean my head back on the head rest and close my eyes, letting the music consume my mind.

I hear the door open and shut. I turn my head to look at Embry, he looks back at me and for a second I can see doubt flash across before his eyes, but then he gives me a smile.

"Ready?"

I can't speak right now, so I just nod. Embry starts to pull out of the drive way after adjusting the mirrors. We sit in silence until we reach his house, I notice all the lights are off, I furrow my eyebrows confused. Where's his mom? She never goes to the bonfires. I look over at Embry but he won't look at me, instead he just gets out of the car and heads inside his house to pack.

What the hell is going on around here? You know what don't even think about it, everything will unravel eventually for now just worry about getting out of La Push. Not getting caught. Think about where were going…..wait where are we going? Are we going far? Just to Port Angeles? What? Okay here's Embry. Calm. The. Fuck. Down.

Embry opens the trunk and puts his stuff in before he gets back in the car. Embry starts to back up and I turn my head to look out the window. I pull my phone out of my pocket and just stare at it.

"I left a note."

"I know. I just should call and at least leave a message. Let them hear my voice you know?"

"I know. Well how are you going to call without them answering?"

"Emily never brings her phone to bonfires."

"What? Really."

"Yea. She thinks that there's no point she knows everyone else has theirs. She once told me it just didn't seem right. "

"Interesting."

"Did you bring your cell phone with you?"

"I don't have a cell phone."

"Did you leave a note for your mom, I mean she's gonna need to know you're okay." I turn in my seat to look at Embry ready to give him a scolding, for just leaving. Oh don't be a hypocrite. At least I'm leaving a note. You're still running away. I am not running away! I'm just…I'm just taking a vacation. Whatever.

"Just call Emily and tell her the situation." I notice his voice has a certain edge to it, and that he avoided my answer.

I look back at my phone and I decide to just get it over with. I scroll through my contacts, but when I get to Emily's name I freeze.

"It's okay."

"Yea."

I hit the call button and it immediately goes to voicemail. Yes now I don't have to listen to the ringing.

"Hey Emmy. I just wanted to let you know I'm okay. Please don't send out a search party. I just I need time to figure out what the hell is going on in my life. I'll call with updates. Just know that I need this and I'm okay. Love you"

I hang up the phone and let a lonely tear fall down my face. I wipe it away quickly before I scroll to Paul's name, I decide to be a coward and just send him a simple text.

I'll miss you.

I wait for a response but I don't get anything. Wait it out, he's mad, just needs time to calm down. I decide to put my phone on vibrate, and just leave it in my pocket. I look at the clock on the dashboard 10:26pm.

"The bonfire ends soon."

"I know. We'll be out of La Push, even Forks before they are all done."

"Where do they think you are?"

"Walking along the beach."

"Why did you end up at Sam's?"

"I wanted to see if you were alright. First I hear what happened from Jacob and then Paul shows up and he acts all pissed off. Just wanted to see if you needed a friend is all. I'm glad I did though."

"Thank you Embry. Really thank you. Although I must say you were so persistent it almost seems like your kidnapping me." Embry and I both laugh, which helps ease the tension.

"Sorry It's just I've been wanting a vacation for so long but didn't want to go on my own. So when I saw what you were doing I just jumped to the chance."

"Think they'll be mad? I mean we at least left a note/call. "

"Doesn't matter, Jacob will lose his mind, Sam will be beyond pissed but he's alpha so he can't leave La Push. Paul will try to track us down so he can rip me a new one. And Emily will be disappointed which is worse than all the others. "

"I don't think Paul will be tracking us down, I'm leaving mostly to get….space. Having second thoughts?"

"No I'm all in. I've never left La Push territory. I need this."

"Why do you need this? What's going on Embry?" I reach over and touch his arm, letting him know that I'm here for him. He turns to look at me and smiles. Always smiling.

"Later okay?"

"Okay." We are silent for a while just letting the music break the silence. I watch out the window and I notice that were already going through Forks. I notice that Embry starts to drive a little faster, I look over to ask him to be careful, but then I notice the time 11:10pm. The bonfire is over. Oh no.. I'm not ready for this. I mean they –

"Hey! Can't they just trace our scent? I'm sure they could just track us faster than we've been driving!"

"Yea they could track us, but our scents are going to be fading. Since our main target is vampires they aren't going to able to focus. I think they can follow our scent as far as I would say Port Angeles."

"Port Angeles? Embry we just passed the leaving Forks sign! This was a mistake they are going to catch up to us and we'll be in even bigger trouble!" I start to panic I figured that if we were gone a couple of days then they could use that time to calm down.

"CALM DOWN KASSANDRA!" Embry yelling at me makes me freeze.

"I need us to focus okay? I'm going to get us into Port Angeles before they even reach home don't forget they do have to clean up the beach." Embry accelerates and I can hear my car make a weird sound.

"It's just the engine it's okay. Just not use to reaching this speed."

"I think you might break the record Paul set in reaching Port Angeles. This is where I'm glad you're a werewolf."

"Shape shifter."

"Oh I'm sorry that's right your shape shifters" Sarcasm is coating my words, I know how sensitive some of the guys are about that.

"I can't believe we are actually doing this. I mean this is just wow, you know? Don't you have a little bit of adrenaline in you?"

"I'm starting to yea. I think it's the fact that I know that any minute they are going to get that note. I'm running on scared adrenaline."

"Oh live a little would ya!"

"Hey! I resent that I'm here aren't I? I haven't made you turn around have I? Noooo!"

"I mean you keep complaining I just wish you would let go."

"Where is this new Embry coming from by the way? I've never seen you like this and I've known you all my life."

"I've always been like this it's just now being a wolf makes me feel exhilarated, plus since you and Jacob have had awkwardness you haven't been able to see me change."

"Promise me you're going to talk to me on this little adventure of ours."

"Only if you promise me that you will stop complaining and just let go"

"I promise"

"Then I promise."

I start to relax a bit knowing that I'm at least not alone and that this will be fun. Embry starts singing along at the top of his lungs completely off key. I laugh at him and decide that if he's going to have fun on this trip than so am I. I turn up the song "Beast and the Harlot" and start singing together, while laughing our asses off. Maybe this isn't such a bad idea.

"WE'RE IN PORT ANGELES!"

I look around but all I see is the sign telling us 10 more miles till Port Angeles.

"Not yet dufus"

"I know but we are close!" Embry has the biggest smile on his face.

"I'm amazed that you were able to drive this fast without any cops noticing. How did you manage that I mean this road is crawling with cops at night."

"That's for me to know and for you to never ever find out."

"Never ever is a long time. Why can't you tell me?"

"It's a wolf thing."

"Oh sure that's always the excuse." I let a smile grace my lips letting him know I'm just giving him hell.

We continue to drive and sing along adding dance moves now. I keep my eye out for the sign saying Welcome to Port Angeles. Another 8 minutes and I see that beautiful sign. No turning back now. I hear Embry let out a howl and I decide to join in. When we stop the CD is over so it's starting over, which makes it quiet and that's when we hear it, the sound of buzzing. The sound of a phone vibrating. The sound of my phone vibrating. Embry and I share a look before I finally pull my phone out. Home. Home.

"You going to answer it? Or piss them off even more by ignoring it?"

"Why can't you talk you're the brave one." I try to shove my phone over to him but he resists.

"Well honestly I don't know if Sam can go all alpha commander on me over the phone and it work or not."

"Oh." Suddenly the phone stops vibrating. Shit.

"Call them back, Call them back. The longer you stall the more time Sam has to go round up the pack."

I quickly hit redial but put in on speaker phone.

"Kass what did I just sa-"

"Shh, I won't let them know it's on speaker. So he can't directly command-"

"Hello? Charlie?" A frantic teary sounding voice answers the phone.

"Emmy? Emily it's me." I look over to Embry and I mouth a silent question "Chief Charlie Swan?" My eyes I'm sure are as wide as saucers.

"Kassandra? Oh my-" Emily's voice is cut off and I hear the phone shuffle.

"Kassandra Jolene Sage! You get your ass home back right now. Do you hear me? How can you take off like that? Huh? Have you gone completely mental. We are worried sick yet you're running out there being selfish, not thinking how this will affect us. And you're alone? God!" Sam doesn't sound too happy at the moment.

"You didn't write that you were going with me?" I look over to Embry and he just shrugs.

"Someone's with you? Who the fuck is with you?"

"It's Embry. We aren't coming back I'll call everyday but we both just want to be gone for a few days. Don't worry I'm safe with Embry."

"Embry? Of all people you went with Embry? Seriously taking off with now another pack member, what has gotten into you? You making a list?"

"Low blow Sam, low fucking blow." With that I hang up the phone putting it completely on silent. I look down at the phone in my hands and start to sob. He's basically calling me a slut.

I feel Embry reach over and grab my hand before squeezing it than letting go.

"I'm here okay. You're safe. Don't listen to Sam his temper is worse than Paul's when he's set off."

"It still hurts, he called me a slut. Did I deserve that?"

"I know. You're not a slut, nowhere even close. In fact you can't even see the word."

I let out a sigh before looking out the window just watching the trees blur by.

"So East?"

"Yea East."

I throw my phone on the floor before pulling my legs onto the seat with me, curled up. I hear Embry put music back on. Everything will be okay.

Hey Everyone!

Soooo did you expect Embry? Did I make a good choice? I feel like he never got to have a story line, so I thought I'd do something for him. I know they're crazy for leaving I mean HELLO you have people there but don't worry I have a plan, it'll be good...I think. I hope you all can understand them running, I'm sure most of us have thought of being spontaneous like them.

Thanks for all the reviews, favorites and follows. Leave me feedback! The good and the bad please.
