Chapter 20
Embry POV
We'd all hung around the Cullen's place yesterday afternoon. Jake only took about 2 ½ hours to thaw. Though he was still shaking a bit and cold to the touch when he sat between Nessie and me. The sister's and I tried not to laugh when Bella said he was almost as cold as her now. The rest of the group didn't find it amusing. We ate and went over our game plan one more time before us wolves took our imprints home. The girls are crashing at Billy's, the other imprints with them. Girls night again. We'd all piled up at Sam's.
We'd ordered pizzas and where playing video games when Sam got our attention.
"Have any of you marked them yet? I herd from Jake about Brady and Angelica."
Brady's hands fell to his lap with his controller, looking at them. The boys looked up to Sam like another dad and him finding out about Brady and Angel from Jake and not Brady himself. Well its not how Brady wanted it.
"Sam...I was going to tell you after we knew for sure. Angelica has a doctors appointment in a couple of weeks." Brady wouldn't look at anyone, keeping his eyes down cast.
The room stayed silent. A first for us in a long long time. I lean down and pat Brady on the shoulder. Amanda and I have not been that far yet, wanting to wait, but I know Brady is having a hard time with it.
Sam leans forwards with a sigh,"I'm not upset Brady. Just keep an eye and ear open for a bit. You'll be able to hear the baby pretty soon if there is one."
"Sam I just don't know what I'm going to do. With this big bad battle coming up and everyone on edge. I'm so stupid."
"Shut your mouth!" Paul's growl got all our attention. He glares over at Brady."You are not and will never be stupid. You did a stupid thing. Be the man I know you are and step up."
Paul was Brady's idol when he first phased. Paul showed him the ropes and Brady became more and more like Paul everyday. To say we were all shocked to hear Paul be nice to somebody was an understatement. Brady looks at Paul for only a few minutes before nodding. Paul nodded his head once in return before turning back to his game like nothing happened. Soon we all followed Paul's example. It wasn't how we usually handle things, but Paul seemed to get Brady's mind going and actually fixed the problem faster than any of us had ever been able to do.
Amanda POV
"No Emily!"
My warning came to late. Before I could reach out and catch it, the bowl of face mask we'd made feel from the counter. Landing upside own in Emily's head where she was bent down picking up the fork she'd dropped.
"Ooh that's COLD!" Emily squeals, jumping up and pulling the bowl off her head. She turned to face us, causing My sisters, Rachel, Kim, and I to burst out laughing.
Emily's hair had a thick layer of green mask over it, with big clumps all through out it. She frowns at us, cracking the mask she'd put in her face about fifteen minutes ago, causing us to laugh harder.
I pull my phone out quick and snap a picture of her. She turns a shocked face to me when it clicked. "Amanda no! You better not show anyone that!"
I smile,"I won't. Promise! Just a photo for memorial purposes."
She glares,"It better be!"
She rushes off for a shower and we all help out to clean the kitchen. Once everyone was done, we all piled back into the living room for a game of Truth.
I for one love this game. I always get to find out things about my sisters they won't just come out and say. All you do is write a series of 10 questions on a sheet of paper and fold it in half once, put it in a hat, and pass the hat around. Once everyone gets a paper, you go around the room and answer the questions on it one by one.
"Okay questions in the hat!" Kim get's one of Jake's old caps and holds it out for the papers. Once everyone puts them in, she mixes them up a bit and we all pull one out.
"Okay who first?" Chasity ask.
"I will!" Rachel opens her paper and goes white.
"Okay, first question for me. Whats your guilty pleasure. Um...I'd have to say watching old black and white movies. You know the ones with out sound. I like to change up the words and make my own version of the movies."
"I'm next." Kim looks down at her paper and smiles,"My favorite memory. It'd have to be the time I came home from a long day at school when Jared and I first got together. He made dinner, cleaned up dinner, gave my a massage, and then we cuddled on the couch and watched my favorite movies. It was simple and sweet."
We all smiles and looked at her. "AWE!"
She blushed and we all giggled. It was cute, very awe worthy.
"Okay. Me next." Emily smiles at us before looking at her sheet."Oh. Well my favorite color. Well my favorite color is navy some days and aqua on other days."
This went on for awhile. I found out a lot of things and even had to tell them some embarrassing things. I never really talked to the other imprints. I fit in more with the guys then I do the others.
"What are you thinking about?" Chasity's quiet voice brings me out of the fog I've been in the past few minutes.
I smile down at my younger sister, even its its only be minutes,"Everything."
She nods, understanding, and turns back to a movie we'd started. That's how we are, my sisters and I. We don't ask a lot of questions unless it has to do with each others safety. Or if one of us is trying to hide something.
After the movie we all crashed, sleep finally finding us.
Embry POV
We woke up early the next morning, stomachs growling. Of course none of us knew how to cook much of anything other than grilling stuff. And who wants grilled stuff in the morning? Not us. We want breakfast. I laugh when the younger guys all turn to Sam. Which only causes him to glare,"Just because I'm married to Em doesn't mean I can cook like her!"
We all laugh at his outburst. Which he doesn't have many of them. "Lets just go to Billy's and find the girls." He grumbles, grabbing his truck keys.
Once at Billy's we see the Cullen's, our imprints, and Jake in the yard. We all took off before Sam fully stopped the truck, dashing to our girls sides.
"What are you doing here leeches?" Paul growls and steps in front of Rachel. Even if he has stopped phasing, he'll always act like one of us, because he always will be one of us.
Amanda grabs onto my arm and hold it to her, keeping her face emotionless. "Alice saw."
I wrap an arm around her, hugging her to my side, shielding her,"What are you talking about?"
Amanda starts to shake, but her face stays blank. I look at the group as one. The wolves all looked confused except Jake. He and the Cullen's look worried. The imprints look scared and the sisters have emotionless faces and are shaking. "What's going on!"
Amanda nudges even closer to me, if that's even possible. "We have two days Embry. They'll be here at Midnight in two days."
With that, the sisters all break, bursting into tears. Collin, Brady, Seth, and I all look at each other holding our sobbing imprints. The others hold their mates close and look to me. Jake steps forwards, Nessie in his arms."We're ready. Stay at the Cullen's day after tomorrow. We'll head out from there. Be with your mates tomorrow."
I nod and pick up Amanda, walking her to my house. Halfway there she falls asleep. Wearing herself out crying and worrying. I lay in the bed with her in my arms and just hold her close. Tomorrow is our last day to just be together before the big battle. I'll make sure she gets out of it alive. All of them, even if I don't make it they will. Her and her sisters are young. To young for this to be happening to them.
"You were to young for becoming a werewolf." My angels sleepy voice comes from my chest. I smile down at her, kissing her forehead softly,"I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was talking out loud."
"It's alright." She sits up a bit more to face me, but stay's on my chest."Embry, we'll be fine. We have the Cullen's and the pack. My sisters and I have trained with our elements and with out them. We're stronger. We're ready. We will win."
I sigh, gazing into her golden eyes. Her red tank top brings out the orange specks of color around her pupils. "There is one thing I haven't practiced."
I chuckle, sitting up with her straddling my waist,"And whats that?"
She smirks,"I've never ridden on your back as a wolf. I have to do it for battle you know."
I jump up with her in my arms and head for the back door. She squeals on a laugh and wraps her arms and legs around me. I laugh with her."No time like the present baby."
That's how we spent our night. I phased and walked back out for her to climb on my back. After giving her a minute to snuggle down in my fur to keep warm and to hang on. I took of. We ran all of La Push about ten times last night. Only when the sun began to rise in the sky did I take her to the cliffs and phase back human. I held my imprint as the sun came up over the ocean.
