Previously on Entirely Unique:
She didn't seem to be following normal transformation rules. Usually they cry and scream and curse while they literally feel like they're burning alive, but Abby laid perfectly still and pale. Her temperature dropped quickly for some odd reason, then would burn hot under my touch so Nessie and I had been taking turns cooling and warming Abby.
Sophia's Story
Chapter Forty-Nine
It pained me to see Abby in pain due to something that I could have prevented. I thought that she'd be safer away from the house full of newly vegetarian vampires, but I forgot that they weren't technically forced to stay in there all the time.
Why didn't I take her inside the Recruit House so I could keep an eye on her? Becca wouldn't have striked when in front of people...would she have?
Or why didn't I insist she follow Esme back to the house when she went to make cookies? She would have been safely protected around our vampire family.
Yesterday's mistakes keep playing over and over in my mind; and no matter how many times my family claims that it wasn't my fault and that Becca would have attacked Abby regardless of if I was there or not, I didn't believe them. It was my fault that my human sister was soon to be a vampire like the rest of my family.
The worst part...well, the worst part about all of this was that the Uley's came back early from vacation when they found out about Abby. They were supposed to be gone three days but only stayed two. Sammy arrived early this morning and had yet to leave her side.
It was so painful to watch, but I forced myself to stay in the room with them and our parents for as long as I was allowed. All of our siblings stopped by at one point or another, but watching a transformation is not something that anyone should ever have to experience in a lifetime. But I owed Abby for doing this to her.
"Quit being so pessimistic. You're starting to sound like Skylar." Charlie said, letting out a low hiss from across the room. Skylar looked up from her book and frowned.
"I'm not being pessimistic, I'm stating the truth." I said stubbornly, not in the mood for her mindreading eavesdropping. "And if you don't like what you hear, just stay out of my head."
"Wish I could." Charlie said with a huff. We had all been on edge in the last twenty-four hours since we were staying at the Main House to monitor Abby. "But, in case you didn't realize this, your thoughts are really loud."
"I'm sorry." I said, not really meaning it.
"Save it." Charlie said, the bags under her usually energetic blue eyes proving just how much sleep she got last night-which didn't seem to be that much. Though half vampires needed less sleep than humans, they still required at least four hours a night as opposed to the usual eight.
"Will you guys quit arguing?" Lewis asked and for the first time I noticed that he was in the living room with us. He was so easy to overlook, especially here lately. "None of it is doing any of us any good; least of all Abby."
While we were downstairs arguing, Abby was upstairs whithering in pain probably and everyone else who seemed more stable (ie, not any of the four of us in this room) had to stop any potential revolt.
This included PJ, Peter, and JJ, who were on patrol with any spare wolves and our extended family. They had to keep the recruits from protesting against the killing of one of their fellow recruits, Becca. She was torn apart and set on fire soon after her capture, but by then the damage had already been done.
There was no saving Abby from the fate she now had to accept, only let her finish the transformation on its own.
"Sorry, Lewis." I said, my cheeks blushing in embarrasment. I hated when my big brother played that card. "I just feel so guilty for letting Abby get bitten."
"It isn't your fault. Be-she," Skylar corrected herself, not yet ready to say the name of the vampire who just ended our sister's human life, "was planning on attacking Abby, whether or not you were there or not, Soph." My twin said, her tone begging me to believe her.
This whole time, she had warned us against Becca, yet now that she was proved right, she didn't seem to be excited or throwing 'I told you so's in our faces. That was the part that was freaking me out. Skylar never passed up an opportunity to be right.
"Where are you going, Sammy? Abby still needs you!" Nessie's voice interupted our conversation and we all turned our heads to see Sammy Uley running down the stairs.
He ran past us, his dark eyes focused on the door, his nose flaring as he took in the smell of my half-vampire brother and sister in the room. When he was nearly out the door, his voice, faint and obviously trying to fight off tears, said, "I'm no longer needed here."
At least that proved that the transformation must be working...Sammy's imprint on Abby seems to have just broken.
AN: Lewis' POV next chapter or keep with the twins? -Don't worry about Abby; I like her too much to leave her life a complete mess.
As always, review :) Since this is the 50th chapter, I'm gonna have to require at least ten reviews before I post the next chapter. That's not that hard guys. I have faith in you guys!
