AN: It has been requested that I do an Abby's POV this chapter to really show what she's going through. Back to the twins next chapter because their story isn't done yet either, I've been told :)
I hope you guys enjoy this and it clears a few things up. This is a really long chapter so that's why it took me a bit to post.
THANK YOU to my reviewers. You guys made the required ten in less than twenty-four hours :)
Previously on Entirely Unique:
"Where are you going, Sammy? Abby still needs you!" Nessie yelled.
When he was nearly out the door, his voice, faint and obviously trying to fight off tears, said, "I'm no longer needed here."
Abby's Thoughts
Chapter Fifty
I don't know how long this had been going on, but my mind and body were both tired of it already. The last thing I remember was telling Sophia that I'd wait for her in the bushes...then my mind went blank. Not like I don't want to remember a bad memory or something, but like my mind is literally blank.
I wasn't in pain though, so I was starting to think that I was dead already or maybe this was an elaborate dream and I must have fallen asleep in the bushes waiting for my sister. At this point, anything would be a reasonable answer. I just wanted to know what was going on.
If it wasn't for the voices, I would believe either of those options even more. But the voices are too real and emotional and just exactly like the people I love the most in life that I knew I wasn't dead or asleep.
So I waited, listening intently to try and figure it out over the sound of my heart beating loudly in my chest and the cold tingle of what felt like a butterfly landing on top of it for who knows how long.
I could feel heat on my arm when I was freezing and a light, cool touch when all I felt in my body was warmth. I must be really sick if this is true. Being the only human in our family, I've been the only one to ever get sick; but this felt different than any of my colds. I had the chills one minute and was sweating bullets the next.
"...go get extra blood packets from the frid-" A male's voice, maybe Carlisle?, said, but it cut in and out so quickly that I didn't know what was going on.
"I'm not leaving my sister in her time of need..." One of the twins, Skylar?, said stubbornly and I tried to listen to who she was talking to.
"Abby...Abby...can you hear me? Daddy's right here, don't worry, Baby Girl. Everything's going to be okay..." He didn't sound convinced, but then again, neither did I.
"...she's not following the rules. I don't know what's happening, Edward." Carlisle said quietly. Whatever my grandfather's reply was, I didn't hear it because the sound of my heart overpowered it.
"I can hear your thoughts, so we're monitoring you closely." Edward said a little while later, placing a cold kiss on my forehead. "I'm glad you aren't in any pain, Little One, like Bella pretended not to be..." I could faintly hear him say something else, but it was too quiet to focus on for long and I soon let the sound of my heartbeat consume my attention.
"Abby, baby, please be okay, just fight it, sweetie, do it for Mommy..." My mother's voice was strong but I could only hold on to her voice for so long before it faded away.
"...I'm so sorry, Abs." Sophia whispered to me and I felt warm lips on my cheek. "I never meant for this to happen..." She too faded in and out.
I didn't know how long it was in between my visitors, but suddenly, my whole body was happier and I felt a physical pull to wake up to be able to see this person's beautiful face as he spoke.
"Can...can she hear me?" My imprinter asked timidly.
He was seventeen, almost eighteen, and though I had just turned sixteen, I knew that no one else could ever capture my attention in a way that only recently had I begun feeling towards him. He was my unofficial boyfriend, future husband, and love of my entire existance...and he had to ask if I could hear him? Naive little boy.
My mind fought to force myself awake, but my body wasn't having any of it. The cold tingle returned to my heart and decided to stay there for as long as it wanted. No longer was this a butterfly-this was a mocking bird; literally and metaphorically
"Where are you going, Sammy? Abby still needs you!" Nessie yelled and the mocking bird fluttered in victory inside of me.
Despite the fact that I knew he was farther away from any of the other visitors in my room and despite the fact that I knew he was whispering, I could hear him louder than any other voice in the house. "I'm no longer needed here."
When he said those five words, my heart stopped; metaphorically, of course. How could my imprinter abandon me in my time of need? Didn't he know that I could hear him and wanted nothing more than to wake up with him beside me? I loved him; I freaking loved the boy and he had the nerve to leave me?
My heart fought the mocking bird, truly angrily now. There was no time to waste sitting around uselessly when my wolf was calling it quits. It was time to fight back like the other voices had been telling me all along.
If I could just wake up, just prove to Sammy that I was alright and that I really did need him, well, then maybe things could be okay. So my heart fought. Literally it wrestled with the mocking bird's touch to control dominance over my body. Until Sammy walked in, they had both been taking their time, but now it was a full out war.
The mocking bird was no longer a gentle cool touch that was trying to slowly overthrow my normal amune system or whatever, but instead was a powerful force trying to take over my whole body at once. Instead of going straight for my heart where most of my blood is, it decided to venture out and slip into my blood stream.
My heart, and all of the other important vital organs, had a statagy of its own. It was forcing more blood into my system than I think I've ever produced, no duh thanks to the blood bag IV I could feel poking at my left arm.
The two forces met together in an unbelievably painful way and for the first time since I got sick or whatever I let out a cry of pain. The frigid cold versus scorching heat was hands down the most painful thing that I have ever felt. My body whithered in on itself and tried to force both of the arguing temperatures out of my system.
I don't know how long this continued, all I know is that when I opened my eyes, I could see the worried faces of my entire family around me.
"Sammy?" I called out, trying to use the usual imprintee tug to summon him, but from the look of my family members, Sammy was long gone.
"Abby, how are you feeling?" Carlisle asked in his doctor voice, so I knew that this wasn't over with yet.
"Not now, grandpa." I said, trying to brush past my family despite my wobbily exit off of the bed. "I have to go find Sammy."
"He hasn't been here since yesterday..." Skylar said, more bad news probably about to follow.
"...and, well, no one has been able to get inside his head since then even though he was phased at the time." JJ finished, looking truly sad for me. "He ran off, Abby, and we don't know where he is."
"I can find him." I stated, determined to do just that. "Now that I'm better, he'll come back. He has to...I'm his imprint."
"About that..." Charlie started to say, but Nessie cut her off.
"I think it's best if you give him some space and work on your new skills instead. This is going to be a huge adjustment for you, Abby-one that can't be taken lightly." My mom warned.
"We've never dealt with this before, so you'll be monitored..." Edward started to say but I wasn't listening. All I cared about right now was Sammy.
"I'll take my medicine, I swear." I promised, the words escaping my lips faster than ever before. "Just not now."
And like that, I was out the door. I sped past the living room where Rose and Emmett were tickling Jesse, I ran past Esme in the garden filling a vase with flowers probably for me, and only saw a blur of Alice and Jasper as I ran past them in the forest as well.
I could feel people behind me and knew it was only a matter of seconds before Jacob and Edward caught up to me, them both being the fastest of their kind in our family and me just being a human girl with a head start, but much to my surprise, I was all the way across the La Push border when suddenly they were miles behind.
I laughed outloud, my voice sounding foriegn to my own ears, but kept going. I knew where Sammy would be. I always knew where he was. Even when we were younger and he had just imprinted on me and I was refusing him, I always could feel his presence near. And right now, he was at Our Spot.
Our Spot wasn't anything special, just a spot on the beach where we shared our first, and so far only, kiss about a month ago. No one ever went to Second Beach anymore since First Beach was for the tourists and Third Beach was where the wolves usually hung out, so it had become our special place over the years.
I spotted him before he saw me and I snuck up behind him as quietly as I could. When I was centimeters away, I shot out my arms and wrapped them around him in a hug.
"You scared me." I admitted, not noticing how freaked out he truly seemed to be. "I heard that you ran away, but I just couldn't believe that you would actually leave me."
"Abby, you have to get away from me." Sammy growled, his body trembling. "We can't see each other any more."
"What? Why?" I asked, his back still to me. "You have to obey my desires, right?, that's the Law. I'm your imprint and I say that this isn't happening, Sammy Uley!"
"You've changed, Abby." Sammy said, his voice quiet and regretful though his body was still shaking.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, but I didn't need to. I could see my reflection well enough in the clear, blue ocean.
My normally wavy bronze hair had not a split end or a hair out of place, even after running from Forks, and the usual frizziness was gone as well. My eyes, usually a dull hazel, were vibrant and a beautiful mix of emrald green and ocean water blue. As for my normally tan skin, not much had changed there, though in the light I could see that I was radiating-literally. I was glittering in the sunlight ever so faintly.
"Oh god, I think I'm gonna be sick." I said, not bothering to wait for a response from Sammy as I dragged us both to the ground so I could splash water on to my face. I refused to let him go, and one of my hands was wrapped tightly around his arm.
He was refusing to meet my gaze, though all things considered, I probably would be too. But I needed to get one last look at him to try and convince him that me being a vampire didn't matter and that our love could withstand it. Screw a broken imprint, I loved him and I know that deep down, he didn't just love me because of the imprint.
"Please...please look at me." I begged, tears whelling in my eyes and threatening to spill over. I didn't notice one did until it landed on Sammy's arm and he looked up at me to confirm.
"Did you just...cry?" Sammy asked, a smile lighting up his face as he looked me dead in my blurry eyes. I nodded absentmindedly, smiling in return even though I had no idea why he was happy about that. Way to kick a girl when she's down.
But the thoughts never left my mind because all I could see was Sammy. My world shifted, the earth centered, and the moon and sun and stars no longer had any beauty.
AN: I told you I loved Abby too much :) If you're wondering, I'll explain how the imprint happened a second time in the next chapter, just be patient ;) As always, I love reviews, so you know what to do...
