Hello hello FanFiction-ers! Sorry it's been four days since I updated, but I don't want to finish this story quickly. I've decided to write a sequel because lots of people said yes, and I've already planned it out. So it won't be as sad when I finish this story.
Thank you to Embre, Ghetto Goat, XkuramaandhieiX, bubbles and OOHTHECLEVERNESSOFME for your reviews. You're all awesome. And I'm getting so many subscribers, thanks to everybody who has added my story to their lists.

Skye's POV

It's been about a day since my last "fire attack" you could say, and Emmett hasn't left me out of his sight yet. Georgia and Gary have no idea that Emmett is even at our house, he hid in my room all night and they didn't notice. I actually thought Emmett had left for the night, but I guess I was wrong because he appeared in my room at about eleven at night. He was still really tense, but better than what he was in the afternoon. I felt bad for scaring him like that. I know I shouldn't feel bad, it wasn't my fault that I was turning into some freak of nature.

Emmett knew what was happening to me, I could tell. And whatever was happening to me, it didn't look good. When Georgia and Gary came home from work, I growled again. Louder this time. They smelt so good. Why did everybody suddenly smell so appetizing? Every time I went near any human being, my throat would burn horribly and I'd growl. This was really worrying. I'd tried normal food again, but it still tasted like dirt. Even more so this time. I just couldn't eat food. But I was so hungry. No... I was thirsty. But what was I thirsty for? Whatever I was, I knew I was going to have to consume something sometime or eventually I'll get really sick.

I was very tempted just to demand answers from Emmett about what was going on, but I couldn't. Not yet. He was still way too tense and anxious from yesterday, and if I asked him what was going on he'd probably go into a mental breakdown. And I would hate to see that happen. I liked Emmett. A lot. Well, more than a lot.

Unfortunately, Georgia and Gary didn't have work today, so Emmett couldn't really leave my room. I didn't mind though, Emmett was a great person to have around. Even if he was anxious and edgy. He still managed to make me laugh.

Georgia and Gary knew I was sick, so they stayed away from my room. It made it easier to keep Emmett from them. I don't think they'd really mind him being around, but they wouldn't agree with him staying here the whole week and missing school. Emmett had demanded he stay with me the whole week I had to be away. I tried reasoning with him, but there's no stopping Emmett.

'You can't just skip a whole week of school just for me, Emmett.' I'd said yesterday.

'Sure I can. Trust me, it's not much of a loss.' he replied simply.

'But won't you get in trouble for skipping?'

'Nah, Carlisle will probably call the school to say we're going camping.'

'Carlisle actually agrees with this?'

'He's the one who suggested it.'

After that I just couldn't be bothered arguing anymore. I was actually pretty excited, having Emmett staying with me all week. I also felt kind of exuberant and special; a flawless guy was taking a whole week off of school just because I was "sick". He's such a sweetheart.

We were both sitting in my room, and it was about 12pm. Georgia and Gary still hadn't come and checked up on me, which was good. But I knew they were gonna come soon.

'What are you gonna do when they come and check on me?' I asked Emmett, who was sitting on my bed next to me with my laptop on his lap.

'I'll hide.' he replied simply, not taking his eyes off the laptop's screen.

'How are you going to hide? You're not what people would exactly call small, Emmett.' I said.

'You'd be surprised what I'm capable of. Besides, I could just hide under your bed. Or jump out the window.'

'The window is about two metres off the ground. You'd probably break a leg on the way down.'

'I'm prepared to make that sacrifice.'

'Over my dead body you will.' I said.

'Please, don't talk about your body being dead Skye.' Emmett said, looking at me with his cute eyes. For a second there I thought I saw his eyes glint when he looked at me.

'Sorry,' I said, 'what are you doing on my laptop, anyway?' I asked. He'd been on it for about an hour now.

'Just talking to people.' he said.

'On my IM? How did you know my password?' I asked suspiciously.

'I have my sources.'

Damn him and that phrase. He's been using that phrase way too much lately.

I guess I should be annoyed that he logged in on my name, but I really didn't care. This was Emmett, even if he trashed my room I wouldn't mind.

'Who are you talking to?' I asked.

'Storm.' he replied simply.

'Does he know it's you talking and not me?'

'I told him a few minutes ago.'

'So you were talking to him for an hour, and he thought it was me?'

'That's right.'

I laughed.

'Storm is actually a pretty good guy. Did you guys really just have conversations where you said any random thing that popped into your head?' he chuckled.

'Sure is. Are you intimidated?'

'Yeah, a little.' Emmett nodded.

'Really?'

'No.'

I laughed again. It was good to laugh again, after all the anxiety yesterday. I think Emmett was finally starting to relax a little.

'Hey Skye?' Emmett asked.

'Yah?'

'Did you and Storm ever... go out together?'

I almost choked on my own spit. The thought of it was very amusing. And weird.

'No! He's my best friend Emmett, gross!' I said. Emmett stayed silent.

Why did he ask if I went out with Storm? Did he actually care? Did he care if I went out with any guys?

'Have you gone out with anybody before?' he pushed further.

'Nope, not one person.' I replied, crossing my legs. Emmett raised an eyebrow.

'Really?'

'Mhm. I didn't really meet anybody in Australia who I liked in that way. Well, the only guy I met who actually talked to me is Storm. But I don't mind. It's better to have never gone out with anybody than to have gone out with somebody and then regret it later.' I said. I usually felt reluctant talking about this with Storm, but with Emmett it felt fine. Like I could tell him anything.

'That's true. But seriously, Storm was the only guy who ever talked to you?' he asked, a little flabbergasted.

'Yeah. Why the sudden curiosity?' I asked suspiciously.

'It's just... odd that's all.' he replied.

'Odd? How, exactly?' I asked.

'Come on, Skye. Most guys would kill to go out with a girl like you.'

I almost fainted when I heard the words come out his mouth. Did he actually mean that? It certainly looks like he did, his face is very serious. Once again, he's such a sweetheart.

'Awh, you don't have to say that.' I said, putting my arms over his neck for a hug.

I spotted the computer screen and saw myself and Emmett, exactly as we were then.

'You didn't tell me you were on webcam, Emmett!' I said, pulling away so I couldn't be seen.

'What's so bad about that?'

'I didn't look like this before I left. I actually had a tan. Storm's gonna get freaked out.' I said.

'He won't notice much. Only the paleness and the eyes.' Emmett replied. See? Another clue that states that he knows what's going on. Though he did seem relaxed enough, I still wasn't going to ask him what was happening to me. Not yet.

'Don't worry he didn't see you.' Emmett added.

'What did he say when he saw you?' I asked.

'He was pretty freaked out, actually. He thought I was a stranger who stole your computer.'

I laughed, 'That's Storm all right.'

I suddenly heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I could tell it was Georgia, finally coming to check up on me.

'Here she comes, Emmett. You'd better hide.' I said.

He shut the laptop quickly, handed it to me and headed for the window.

'Don't jump out the damn window, Emmett! No matter how big you are you'll still break a leg!' I said. He just smiled at me and flung himself out the window.

'Emmett!' I hissed. Damn him, why'd he have to worry me like that?

'Skye? Who are you talking to?' Georgia had opened the door. Luckily I was still sitting on my bed, dressed in my pyjamas.

'Oh um... nobody.' I replied. Yeah great cover-up story, Skye. Really witty.

'Are you feeling okay?' she asked me, walking in to sit next to me. I hoped she wouldn't smell Emmett on my quilt.

'Kind of. Emotionally, I'm okay. But physically, I'm feeling kinda... woozy.' I lied.

'You should get some sleep, or at least have a lie down.' Georgia suggested, putting her hand to my forehead. She immediately took her hand away when she felt how cold my skin was.

'Yeah I suggest you don't check my temperature.' I said.

'You got that right. You feel like an ice cube. Dyou want a hot drink?'

'No thanks, I'll just have a lie down like you said.'

Georgia smiled and left the room, quietly shutting the door behind her. When I was certain she was back in the lounge room, I looked out the window again. Emmett was standing in my backyard, waiting for the all clear.

'Damn you Emmett! Didn't you break anything?' I called down.

'Are you kidding?' he laughed. I rolled my eyes.

'How are you gonna get back up here?'

'I have my-'

'Sources, yes I know.' I finished his sentence for him.

'You know me too well. Close your eyes for a second.'

'Yes sir.'

I closed my eyes for about two seconds before opening them again. When I opened them, Emmett was sitting next to me again, back on my laptop.

'Wow you're fast.' I said, impressed, 'I'm not even gonna bother asking how the hell you got back up here.'

'That'll make it easier for both of us.' Emmett grinned.

Right after he said that, my heart began to twitch a little. It took me by surprise, and I gasped quietly. Emmett immediately shot his head towards me.

'What is it?' he asked, fast.

'My heart is... twitching.' I breathed. It didn't hurt... it just felt a little uncomfortable.

'Twitching? Carlisle didn't say anything about twitching...' Emmett murmured to himself. He obviously thought I wouldn't be able to hear him. I didn't bother asking any questions, my heart was still twitching. But why was it twitching? There wasn't any fire amongst my veins. Yet. Oh crap, I jinxed it again. Before I knew it I was on the floor again, fire burning at my arteries. I closed my mouth tight; I definitely did not want Georgia or Gary to hear me screaming. That would just give Emmett away.

'Skye?' Emmett said worriedly. He closed my laptop again, and rushed to my side. Well, at least I could see this time.

'Skye?! Oh no.' Emmett said, a little panicky.

I didn't say anything. I knew that as soon as I'd open my mouth, ear-piercing screams would escape my lips. I wouldn't be able to stop myself. So I stayed silent, hoping Emmett would keep calm.

'You're not screaming. What's happening? Are you not in pain?' he spluttered, trying to keep calm but it wasn't really working.

'Just hang in there, Skye love. You'll be okay, it'll be all over soon.' he tried comforting me. That's the Emmett I know and love. He's freaking out but he's still trying to keep me calm instead of himself.

This time my heart wasn't twitching, it was beating ferociously. It was jumping in my chest, like it was trying to get out. This only happened for only a few seconds, then the fire ceased once again. I sighed with relief.

'Glad that's over.' I said. Emmett's eyes were wide with terror.

'Why weren't you screaming?'

'Hello? Do you want Georgia and Gary to come burst in here to see me on the floor, screaming in agony and you standing over me?' I said.

'Oh, right.' he said, 'that takes some control, not screaming. Are you okay?' he asked, looking into my eyes again.

'I'm fine.' I sighed, sitting back on my bed again.

'You're amazing, Skye.'

I know not much happened in this chapter either, but I wanted to add some Skye/Emmett quality time. Review?
