I was curled up in a ball in the furthest corner of the basement, my jeans were ripped and my shirt was soaked in my blood, my eyes felt wide I was shivering from the cold air and exhausted, feeling pain in my ribs when Edward threw me. I was scared, I didn't know what do I didn't dare to move as I was dealing with a vampire a creature I thought you could only find in books, but they were now my true worst nightmare.
I shouldn't have trusted him, my gut instinct even told me to not go, but I ignored it I was so mad at Emily and Sam that I had put my anger towards them first before my safety. My head was such a mess, so much had happened in this short week, I found out werewolves and vampires existed, Sam imprinted on Emily and even if I survived or not I wasn't sure I could face them ever again, then my mind drifted off to Embry, my imprint. I had been so rude to him and now I just wanted him ,wrapped in his arm assuring me that everything would be okay.
I wasn't sure on the time. Edward hadn't been down in a while and I could feel the blood still oozing from my neck, I was curled in a ball ,not moving except for the slight shiver from the cold, I felt if I moved he would come back down for more and I wanted to avoid that as long as I could. The next thing I knew the door to the basement opened and I tried to sit in the corner as tightly as I could wanting to blend into the coldness of the bare wall. Somebody walked over to me, their shadow coming closer and closer. I squeezed my eyes shut bracing for the bite, for more blood to ooze down my neck, but it never came.
"Leah" Said a voice I wasn't expecting to hear. Embry.
"It's okay, he's dead we killed him" He whispered, thats when I broke out of my curled position and jumped into his arms, it had surprised him but he handled it effortlessly. I couldn't cry or do anything but I just held onto him tightly as he picked me and carried me out of the basement bridal we were outside, it was still light though the sun was setting into the earth even though I wasn't sure on what day it actually was. It had blinded me but I was able to quickly get my bearings again, I could start to see the other pack members, Jacob first, then Paul and Jared who gave me a nod then left quickly to go tell the news to the girls, then my eyes froze on Sam, though I quickly looked away, I couldn't handle to look at him right now, if only he told me himself things may have turned out differently but they didn't and now I wasn't sure if I would be able to speak to him or Emily ever again, even if I could I dont think it would ever be the same.
"Can we go now" I whispered to Embry, he nodded and we hopped into his car and drove back to Kim's house in La push.
The drive home I kept replaying what had happened, it still made my stomach queazy and I wasn't sure if this nightmare would ever leave me alone. I just watched the tree's glide past us til we came to a stop, I hadn't realised we had made it to Kim's. Embry rushed my side and helped me out of car, letting me lean on him as we walked into the house.
"Leah" Bella said rushing over to me, and helping me into the house. Embry and Bella walked me over to the couch, and Kim running over with water and panadol, and I noticed a few bandages. I could see tear stains marked on Bella's face, in the corner of my eye I could see Claire sitting still on the couch staring into nothingness, but I didn't have the heart to care what she was going through at this moment.
"Lee I'm so glad your alive, I don't know what I would do without you"Bella had whispered in my ear, we were now on the couch Bella sitting next to me, clutching my hand, Embry on the other side while Kim fussed over me. Fixing my neck, and attending to my other wounds.
"I really think we should take you to the hospital" Kim muttered while she attended to an open wound on my knee.
"No Kim I'll be okay, I dont want to be away from you guys anyway" I muttered, I was weirdly taking this okay much better than Bella would have, even though what Edward did to me could have scarred me for life, I felt safe, the wolves made me safe and I knew I wouldn't make those reckless decisions again, I didn't want to be scared so I didn't let myself that's why I had composed myself not to break down.
"Well at least have some rest" Kim replied, shooing Embry and Bella off the couch to make some room for me to lay down.
"We will just be in the kitchen, have a little nap your safe now"Bella said giving me a kiss on top of my head, and Embry tucking me in, making me comfortable. The next thing I knew I was drifting into nothingness, the darkness welcoming and I oddly felt safe.
