Chapter 14: Trouble
Emily's POV
I swear my mind just shut down at that point. I could not even process the information that had just been given to me. All I could think was that our world was about to crumbling down around us.
"Emily are you okay?" Jason asked me in concern.
Okay? How can I be okay? How can anything be okay? Our existence is about to be revealed to the world? Well, I mean the existence of supernatural creatures has already been partially revealed of course, but now vampires and hybrids too! This was not good at all!
"Emily?" Jason said.
I snapped out of my thoughts at that point. "No I'm not okay Jason. How can I be okay? The whole world is going to know about us and there is nothing that we can do to stop it. What's going to happen when they find out that the truth? They're going to come after our whole family! They are going to want to kill us all! Even if the humans don't kill us surely the Volturi will!"
I was in near hysterics by now. If I didn't calm myself down fast I was going to have a full blown panic attack which would not help matters any at all.
"We need to contact the rest of the family and the pack as well. They need to know what is going on here" Jason said.
"You're right" I said.
I tried calling all of them but I was not having any luck getting through to them for some reason. The calls kept on dropping. None of the wolves were in there wolf forms either so I really had no idea what the rest of my family was doing. All of this was making me extra nervous. Why did they have to be gone now?! And why did communication with them have to fail right now! Have you ever had one of those nightmares where everything seems to go wrong and the situation just keeps getting worse and worse by the minute? Well I'm living one of those freaking nightmares right now!
"Emily I think you need to relax" Jason said.
I exploded. "Relax?! How the hell am I supposed to relax?!"
"I'm sorry" he said. "It's just that all of this stress is not good"
I took several deep breaths. "Yeah, you're right" I said. "Here give me one of the babies maybe that will help keep me calm"
He handed me Jason Jr., who was being a little bit fussy at the moment. I fed him and rocked him which seemed to calm him down. I had somewhat calmed down myself. If anything, I had to stay calm for my babies. I had to protect them when everything went to hell. They depended on me and Jason for survival and they will survive. I was going to protect them from whatever came our way.
My son let out a huge yawn and minutes later he fell asleep. I looked at his peaceful slumber and I envied him. I wish I could feel that peaceful, blissfully unaware of the problems that were coming our way. I loved my son. I loved all of my children. As I've said before they were created out of science but they were born to parents, and into a whole family that loved them very much.
"Emily what are you thinking about?" Jason asked me. He scared me a little as I had not heard him coming.
"Our kids" I told him.
"They are lovely aren't they?" he responded. He was smiling at the sleeping baby boy in my arms.
"Yes they are" I said. I sighed for what felt like the millionth time. "Jason no matter what happens we have to protect them. We have to make sure that they live"
"and they will. We all will" he said with determination in his voice. "We will get through this together"
"Okay Jason. I hope that you are right"
"Jason" I said. "Do you think that we should ever tell the children about how they were conceived?" I asked him. Part of me was really concerned about how they would react if they found out that they weren't created out of love, but created to be a science experiment. But I wasn't so sure that lying to them was a good idea either.
"I think" he began. "I think that we are going to have to tell them at some point. I think that they have a right to know when there older. But we just have to make it clear to them that they are loved and we would love them just the same if they had been created normally. But I think they should know. Why are you asking?"
"I'm just curious about your opinions on the subject" I told him. "But I think you're right"
"I'll try getting into contact with everyone else again. I really wish that our calls would just go through or that one of the members of the pack was in wolf form"
"You and me both Jason. You and me both"
I could not sleep that night. I didn't even try to sleep that night. I was so anxious that not even regular sleeping medicine was going to help me.
By morning the rest of the family had still not gotten back from wherever they were. I was beyond nervous now. At 6:45 in the morning I got on my computer and started looking at different news websites, and to my relief I found nothing. Maybe, just maybe Adam was wrong.
Then I got to the New York Times website and the first heading I saw was Breaking News: Scientists Uncover Evidence of Vampires and Vampire-Human hybrids in female wolf DNA.
"Oh holy fucking shit!" I shouted. Everyone's head snapped to me at the same time. I had to admit that I was surprised those words came out of my mouth at right now. I never cursed.
"What's going on?" Jason asked.
I turned on the news and put it on Good Morning America and the first thing I heard were the words female wolf, DNA, Vampires, and Vampire-Human Hybrids.
"The secret is out"
