Chapter 20
Mark Clearwater's (Kai and Emma's father) point of view
I haven't been this angry, sad or scared in my whole life. Not when I found out my wife cheated on me or finding out Kai was secretly dating Embry Call or even when I found out that my family turns into wolves! Sitting here in the hospital hoping my oldest daughter isn't going to die is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I can't believe that Kai would go into the forest after I told her, many times, not to go in there! A hand on my shoulder interrupts me from my thoughts.
"You can go see her now," doctor Olsen says and I nod.
"Emma, do you want to come in?" I ask standing up. She nods slowly and we go into the room. Looking down at my daughter tears begin to form. She's pale and looks broken and tired. I hear crying and look at my youngest daughter. Tears are streaming down her face and she has a frown on her lips. I pull her into a hug and rub her back soothingly.
"Everything will be alright, she'll make it," I say.
"How can you be so sure?" she asks.
"I just do," I say and she nods.
Emma's point of view
Looking at my broken sister's form I lost it. As tears streamed down my face daddy pulled me into his chest. Why can't my sister just be normal and not get hurt, mentally or physically?! She's had her boyfriend cheat on her, out mother cheat on our father, our uncle die, and then she fell in love but got banned from seeing him! I just wish I could take away her pain. She's always so strong for us and I've never thanked her for that.
"Everything will be alright, she'll make it," dad whispers in my ear.
"How can you be so sure?" I ask.
"I just do," he says and I nod. I hope he's right. I would do anything to keep my sister alive, I can't lose her!
Leah's point of view
Listening to my cousin's slow heart beat brought tears to my eyes. Kai doesn't deserve this! If only my stupid uncle would have let her and Embry be together this wouldn't have happened! Kai's the strongest person I know and she better make it through this, or I'm going to kill her! She needs to get better and come back to us. Looking around the room all I see is tears and sad faces. Embry looks like he's dead. I know he really loves her and is in so much pain right now. I feel bad for him. When the door opens to Kai's room I look to see my uncle and other cousin exit it. Uncle Mark looks to Embry.
"You can go in," he says through gritted teeth. Embry nods and heads inside. When the door shuts I can hear his heart slow down and hear him fall to his knees. I hear him start to cry and the tears fall from my own eyes. Not bearing anymore I run out of the hospital and into the forest phasing. I can't have another family member die!
Seth's point of view
As my sister runs out of the hospital with tears falling down her face I frown. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. My cousin's in the room supposedly dying. It hurts to know that she could die at any minute but I just know she'll pull through, she's strong. And she wouldn't leave us or Embry, I hope.
Embry's point if view
Seeing my imprint on the hospital bed broke my heart. I fell to my knees as tears started to flow. She looks very pale and broken. She has tubes connected to her and the heart monitor beeping slowly. I slowly make my way of to her and sit int he chair next to the bed. I take her pale delicate hand in mine and kiss it.
"Please come back to me Kai, please," I whisper. I need her to come back to me, I can't live without her. If she dies I die too. I will not go on! She's my life and if she's not here I have nothing to live for. I lay my head on the bed and silently cry.
Kai's point of view
I feel cold, tired and in pain. My shoulder's killing me and I'm beyond exhausted. I can hear everything around me but can't move or talk. I heard dad and Emma come in and Emma start to cry which made me want to cry. Then when Embry came in and he started to cry. Hearing that made my heart-break. He takes my hand and gives it a gentle kiss. He lays his head on the bed near my hips and cries into the bed sheets. If only I was awake! Then I could tell Embry everything was okay and that I was okay. I would hold him tight and kiss him telling him everything was going to be okay. I try to open my eyes but don't succeed.
Throughout the day I hear more people come and go but Embry always stays in his spot right next to me. At some point everyone but dad and Embry leave. I can feel Embry's eyes on me and I bet dad's glaring at Embry.
"Sir I'm sorry," Embry says.
"About what?" dad asks.
"For dating your daughter without your permission," Embry says.
"You love her don't you?" dad asks.
"Yes, I love her with my whole heart, and can't lose her," Embry says and I smile.
"I can see it," dad says.
"Sir I can't live without her, I need to at least see her," Embry says.
"I know," dad grumbles. I hear dad sigh and he's probably rubbing his eyes.
"Embry you're a good guy but it's just she's my little girl," dad sighs.
"I know, but she's not so little," Embry says.
"I can see that too," dad says.
"When she's better you two can continue to be together," dad says. Wait what!?
"What?" Embry asks shocked.
"Kai loves you and I want the best for her," dad says.
"You need to tell your mother though," dad says and I assume Embry nods his head because they stop talking. Dad leaves the room and I can feel Embry's eyes on me.
"Hurry up and come back Kai," Embry whispers and kisses my lips. I smile and soon fall asleep.
