Ch. 8

*il sua cantante = his/my singer

Shanelle woke up in Embry's arms, she was still shaken from last night's event. How could Trey change so much? Why would her dad make a bad deal? Would Trey tell them where she was? But most of all was she going to tell Embry? She knew he would want to know about what went on between her and Trey, he would want to know everything, but was she ready to tell it all? She locked that all away, not because it was a bad time, she just didn't want to think about it—every time she thought about it, that night popped up in her mind. The night she...lost it, the night she gave it up. All because the stupid punch was spiked, but what hurt more is that Trey would just take it from her, he might of thought it was special, but she sure didn't. That night was not special, not special at all. Your first time is supposed to be magical, wonderful, and with someone you loved. Not when you're drunk, with someone you thought you loved, and with someone who would never take advantage of you. She had pushed that all to the back of her head so she could be friends again with Trey, but she never forgot it.

Shanelle quickly got up and went to the bathroom; she turned on the shower and just stood under the water. The warmth from it felt like Embry was wrapped around her body, holding her close. She knew she loved Embry and she would've loved him even without being his imprint. He was perfect for her; she fell for him the night she saw him and every day after that. He was truly the first guy she had loved in a long time, the first one she trusted besides Drew.

Shanelle turned off the water and dried off. She wrapped her hair into a bun and slipped into a sweat suit. She turned and walked out of the bathroom. She turned on her I-pod and opened her lap top. She started to write, anything she could think of was put on paper. By the time Embry woke up, she had fifteen full pages. When she heard Embry start to stir, she quickly hit backspace and deleted it all off the page. "Hey," Embry said walking over to her "I'm going to take you out today to the beach, you know, to get your mind off things," he said kissing her on the head. She smiled up at him.

"Okay." she looked at his eyes and saw how pained they looked. "You can use my bathroom, you don't have to go home, and could I spend a few nights at your place, I would feel safer there anyways." She looked up at him with her big brown eyes.

"Of course, anything for you Shay," he said closing the bathroom door. Shanelle got up and closed her laptop. She pulled out her Nike duffel bag and began to put some clothes in it. She also got out a swim suit and put it on under her sweat suit. She zipped up the bag and put her beach bag on top of it.

Embry pulled his truck into the beach parking lot. He grabbed Shanelle's hand and walked down to the sand until they found a good spot. He looked at Shanelle as she looked off into the water. "Shay," he started, "I hate to ask this, but I just need to know what happen between the two of you."

"Ha," Shanelle laughed a none-humorous laugh, "well I was fifteen, and he was sixteen. He asked me out, and of course, I said yes. I mean I loved him but what I didn't know, was I loved him as a brother. Everything was going great for two years. He took me to his senior party, the punch was spiked, and I didn't know, so I had way too many glasses. He took me home; my parents weren't there, so he came up to my room with me..." Shanelle stopped talking, letting her words trail off. "The next morning I regretted it, I was so mad with myself. I just let him take me like that; I didn't know what was going on. A few weeks later we broke-up and I locked all those memories away." Embry pulled her close to him. He looked out at the ocean over her head; he loved this woman no matter what she did in her past. He would always love her. She was his world, his moon, his everything. He didn't know why anyone would do that to her, no matter what their relationship was like, boyfriend or not, Trey shouldn't have ever taken that from her, I guess it's true what they say, 'For every strong woman, or bitch as some would say, there's a man that made her that way'. "Embry," he looked down at her, "thank-you," her soft voice said.

"For what?" he really didn't know.

"Just for being here," she said kissing him on the cheek. She turned back around and just sat there in his lap.

A little while later they were back at Embry's house with take-out for dinner. Shanelle was currently asleep upstairs in his bed while he was down stairs talking to Sam.

"So is there anything we can do?" Embry asked.

"Well no, we don't know if there really is anyone looking for her," he said. "I'm sorry but the safest place for her is here, with you. I'll give you a few days off patrol, okay? Just watch out for her." Embry stood up as he banged his hands on the table.

"I just want her to be happy," Embry said putting his head in his hands.

Sam got up, "I hear her getting up; I'll leave you two alone," he said walking out the front door of the house. Embry made his way up the stairs and opened his bedroom door. Shanelle was sitting on his bed, watching music videos on his T.V. "Hey," he said leaning against the door.

"Hey, guess what," she said with a sparkle in her eyes.

"What?" he asked walking over and running his hand through her hair.

"I going to see Mia tomorrow and you get to come." she said turning towards him. She leaned up and kissed him on the lips. Embry sat down so she wouldn't have to strain her neck. As soon as he did, Shanelle deepened the kiss. Embry didn't know what was happening as his wolf side took over. He was on top of Shanelle in a moment kissing fiercely, but his brain began to work when this kiss started to move beyond making out.

"Shanelle, are you sure?" he asked looking down at her.

"As sure as I'll ever be," she said looking in his eyes with pure love.

"Shanelle, please tell me you don't want to do this to get him off your mind?" Embry said hovering above her.

"He is the furthest thing from my mind," she said as her and Embry began to kiss once again.

At that very moment, somewhere in Seattle, a meeting was going on in the bottom of a club. "So she is in La Push," the male vampire said looking at Trey.

"Yes," he replied looking around the room.

"Well, you're no longer needed," he said. At that moment teeth sank into Trey's neck and everything went black. "Well we know where she is, now all we have to do is get to her." the voices said.

"But her father sent the money, why don't we just let her be?" a female voice said.

"We can't, you see, she's il sua cantante," another male voice said as he moved out of the shadows. "We need to change her, soon."
