"Oh god, oh god, Stephanie, you have to wake up. I'm begging you," someone spoke. I didn't remember anything till' I realized where I was. I was in Embry's room on his bed and he was hovering over me. I had a washcloth over my forehead it was wet and drips of water slid down my face and littlest of droplets were stuck in my eyelashes. I lifted my head and he pushed me back down.
"God! I swear if that ever happens again, I'll kill myself."
"NO YOU WILL NOT!" I exclaimed. I sat up and looked at him he was still watching me.
"Don't you dare say that, boyfriend or not," I spoke. I looked at him and he still looked worried. I put my hands around his neck and stood up. He was watching my every move. I was getting annoyed nothing was going to get him to calm down… unless… I reached on my tippy toes to his face and locked lips with him.
I pulled away and spoke, "I'm fine." I spoke and sat down on the bed. I looked at the clock and noticed it was 10:45. I was passed out for more than an hour. No wonder he was so worried. I was passed out for and hour, I was passed out for an hour; my parents are going to kill me.
Embry must have read my mind because as soon as I thought about it he spoke, "Mom called your mom saying that I had left and while I was out you were sound asleep and she didn't want to wake you. You can stay the night; if you do I'm taking you home early, early in the morning to get ready. Your choice," he spoke.
"Aren't you suppose to be on patrol!?" I asked. If he was going to be in trouble I would feel bad. After all it was because of me.
"My girlfriend passed out, I almost phased in the house because of it but I calmed down and helped you on to the bed. I'm pretty sure Jared will be fine, I'll leave as soon as I know you are okay."
"I'm fine, pinky promise," I spoke. I held out my pinky and he wrapped his pinky around mine. I nudged him out the door and he kissed me on the forehead.
"Mom, I'm going out to patrol. Watch Stephanie for me, don't need her passing out again." He looked at me and smiled.
"I'm sure she can watch herself Embry, but okay."
"I'll be back at 3:30. Okay?" Embry spoke looking at me. I would be asleep but at least he told me so I wouldn't have to worry. I nodded and frowned; I'll admit it I didn't like him going out there and I knew I couldn't do anything about it.
"You can sleep in my room, I'll stay on couch." He told me. I didn't say anything but looked away. Now I was going to be emotional, I was weird I may go get tested for bi-polar disorder, I was pretty sure I had it. I didn't know what was wrong with me. Embry placed a hand on my face, turning it towards him, as a tear rolled down. I didn't want him to go out there and get killed by some vampire. He could get hurt or worse hunted by a human and his death wouldn't even be super natural. He wiped the tear of my face and frowned.
"Please don't cry," he whispered.
"I don't want you to get hurt. I mean think of all the possibilities. You're a werewolf and having to protect people from VAMPIRES! I can't help it that I'm scared to death about losing you."
"Do you know what it feels like for the werewolf when he imprints?" He asked me. I shook my head and looked at him.
"It's like this, it isn't gravity holding me down anymore it is you. You are my top priority. I would do anything to please you; make sure you are happy and when you're upset I will do anything to make you happy again. I will come back to you, no matter what it takes. Okay?" He asked me I nodded.
"I'll see you tomorrow," I told him. I turned around ready to go back when I was pulled back and he turned me around. I felt his soft lips against mine then I lost thought of why I was worrying, but something else worried me his mom was there and me and him were having a small sweet kiss.
"Where is your mom?" I whispered.
"In her room, she left when you started to cry." He told me. I hit his arm and our eyes met, we just stared at each other and didn't say anything. Embry grabbed my arm pulling me into him as he wrapped his arms around me. We stayed like that until his mom called for me. I pulled away grinning and held in my laugh. He rested his forehead against mine and we smiled at each other again saying nothing until I realized something.
"Go, before the pack hates me," I said pushing him out the door. He grinned and kissed my forehead and left. Not even 1 minute before I kicked him out of his house, I heard a wolf howl.
"Stephanie? Did you open the door?" I heard Tiffany call.
"Oh, no maim' Embry was just leaving."
"Oh I thought he had already left, silly me. Are you hungry?" She asked.
"Oh, no maim'. I'm fine thank you,"
"Well, I'm assuming you have class tomorrow. Off to bed you go," she shooed me to his room. Embry left out one of his shirts and some sweatpants and I slipped them on a fell asleep.
~~~ Embry's POV ~~~ (Communication through the THOUGHTS)
~She has got you wrapped around her finger! ~ Jared
~What? What's happening to me? ~ Unknown
~Okay, what's your name? ~ Embry
~Brady. Brady Fuller ~ Brady
~ Okay, calm down, we are going to come help you okay. Can you tell us where you are? ~ Jared
~I'm in the woods next to my house. ~ Brady
~Brady, you know me okay, it's me Embry, your sister's friend ~ Embry
~I know you, are you like me? ~ Brady
~Yes, now, you are going to hear some howls but I want you to stay calm okay? ~ Embry
~Okay, ~ Brady. Jared and I howled loud enough for Sam, Jacob, Paul, and Quil to hear. Quickly I heard more voices.
~What's wrong? ~ Sam
~Brady, Stephanie's brother is a wolf. ~ Jared
~Bloody Hell! What the hell is so important? ~ Paul
~Wait! He is only 13, something triggered it. ~ Embry
~Only thing to trigger that is a leech. ~ Jacob
~It's a set up! ~ Embry
~What?~ Paul
~What are you thinking Embry~ Sam
~It can't be a set-up~ Quil
~ What are you all talking about!? ~ Brady
~ Sam, the siren that lured her in! It must have followed her scent to her house trying to finish her job. She went there and her scent triggered his change. She realizes that she isn't there and now she's going to find her scent to my house. ~ Embry
~ Jacob! Paul! Go with Embry! NOW! ~ Sam. We raced to my house; there I picked up her scent. The leech that was going after my girl, my imprint; this was my fight and I wasn't going to let Stephanie get hurt. I ran faster then the others getting to my house just in time to catch her in the back yard. I quickly pounced on her but she had already moved out of the way making me hit the ground I growled. We went at it for a minute and the others had shown up.
~About time~ Embry
~We thought we would let you get a little anger out first. ~ Jacob
~ Exactly, we jump in when you're angry we would get hurt ourselves. ~ Paul
We fought her but she was smart and quickly ran off, jumping off into the ocean.
~Damn that leech!~ Paul
~Embry stays home. Jacob you're on patrol. ~ Sam
~What about Brady? ~ Embry
~He is fine. Still a little shaken but he will be fine by tomorrow night. I got him to go back to being human. ~ Sam
~Thank You, Sam. ~ Embry
~Go Home ~ Sam
I walked back to the wood line and watched the house. At the door stood my mother, she must have been watching us. She noticed me standing there and was flicking the lights on the porch. I nodded and she walked out.
"What was that about?" She had asked. I looked at my window, showing that it was for Stephanie.
"Is that 'thing' after her?" She asked. I nodded. She looked at me then at my window and shook her head walking back inside. I walked back to the forest line and started walking around and around the perimeter of the house. Then there was screaming coming from inside the house. I ran to the front grabbed the extra shorts and ran in while putting my pants on. I ran to my room and found Stephanie screaming yet asleep and there was no danger.
"Steph, wake-up! It's Embry, your okay. It's just a nightmare. Wake up, your okay."
"Embry, oh my, thank you, I don't think I could have taken anymore." She sobbed. Tears fell down her face. I wiped them off with my finger and left my hand on her face,
"Its okay, go back to sleep. I'll stay till' your sound asleep okay?"
"Okay," She mumbled. I lay down next to her as she was laying her head on my shoulder. I started to hum a tune and run my hand through her hair. She was starting to flutter her eyes and yawned two times. I smiled when she started to yawn and placed a hand over her mouth as if she didn't want me to look in her mouth. Why did it matter?
The worst thing that could probably happen was when she moved and her head was down on my chest. It felt so right but I knew I shouldn't let her do that so I told her, "Steph, you are on my chest."
"Do you want me to move? Is it hurting you?" She asked.
I chuckled, "no, I just wanted you to make sure you knew."
"I'm well aware where my head is,"
"Okay, go back to sleep."
"You shouldn't be talking wolf boy." She spoke as she snuggled closer to me.
"Go to bed before I leave," I spoke. She quickly shut her mouth and laid there. Slowly I realized she was right. I was extremely tired and it was already 2. I tried staying awake but I slowly drifted away.
~~~ Line Break ~~~ Stephanie P.O.V
"Excuse me," I heard a voice. My eyes fluttered open to find my head on Embry's chest and my arms wrapped around him, as his around mine Tiffany was giving the 'you better not have done what I think you two did' look. I looked at Embry his eyes were half-way open; he was still tired. A small grunt came from his mother and my eyes directed back to her "Embry, shower, go; you still have to take her to go get ready at her house."
"Okay, thank you," he spoke. He closed his eyes again and his head hit his pillow. I started getting up and grabbed the pony tail holder from my purse, putting my hair up in a messy bun. I went back to the bed leaning over a shirtless Embry. Damn, he was hot, I mean look at those abs and I mean he was just laying there shirtless, it was like life was tempting me to see how crazy I would get being with him. It will not be happening, I will survive!
"Embry, darling, wakey, wakey,"
"Five more minutes,"
This was getting no where. Then I thought about it, when we were in eighth grade I would find him asleep and I would say one thing and he was up in a flash, "Megan Fox is butt naked right outside your house."
"Nice try, you forgot, I've imprinted. The only girl I will want to ever look at is you."
"Fine,"… only girl you will look at huh? "Embry, I'm only in a bra,"
"I'm up!" He spoke sitting right up putting my chest right in front of his face.
"Liar," he mumbled getting up and going to his bathroom.
