(Embry's POV)
"I think I'm going to ask her soon, I was thinking maybe Saturday night. Just me, her, and a nice plate of veggie burgers, what do you think?" I asked Quil while we were patrolling around Forks. "That sounds awesome dude. She'll love it." I slowed down as a sickly sweet scent assaulted my sensitive nasal system. "Vampire, dude." I saw that he was close by, but it would still take him a few minutes to catch up. I ran ahead anyway, he would catch up. I was maybe a mile behind the leech when he stopped in his tracks. I was confident that I could take him alone so I continued on my hunt. I was about to grab him around the left shoulder when he turned around and grabbed me by the throat. "You insolent little mutt. You are in our way of creating the strongest vampire to ever live. Give me a reason why I shouldn't just kill you now." I was having a hard time breathing, his hand was constricting my airways. I tried to catch him with my claws but he propelled us upward onto a rather short ledge. It gave him enough room to hold me just out of reach of my claws. After a minute I started to get tunnel vision and things were going hazy, but just as I started to slip unconscious I felt myself being pushed over the side and felt Addison let go of my neck. I gulped in air as if I would never breath again. I stood up and was almost hit wit an arm, Addison was no more. "Thanks man. Thought I was a goner." I helped Quil rip him apart and then changed quickly so I could light the pile. We wouldn't have to worry about him anymore. "No problem. Besides, I couldn't let you die today, you've got to propose to my sister." I laughed as I put my shorts on and waited for Quil to change.
I had just finished putting on my cut-offs when we heard a loud howl. Immediately we knew it was Sam calling us, so forgoing our clothes we changed and raced back to Sam's as fast as we possibly could. "Embry!" Sam called in his alpha voice. What was possibly going on, had I done something wrong? "Yeah, Sam?" I asked after changing back to my human form. "Cass has been attacked. She's okay and she and Haven are on their way home now, but I want you to watch over her. Do not let her out of your sights for a second. Understood?" Sam gave the order, but even if he hadn't I would still watch her. She had been attacked and it was my fault, I wasn't with her, I couldn't protect her. "Understood." I managed to croak out. Luckily Quil had followed me to Sam's. "Don't worry man. It wasn't your fault, we never could have predicted that would happen. But we'll get that vampire bitch soon, I promise." He was a good friend. I nodded before running to meet Cassy and Haven at the border.
