I had a nightmare, one that shook me to the core.
Sam and the guys were out hunting. I was searching for them. I had to talk to them, it was so important. I ran and ran and ran and they were nowhere to be found, until I made it to a clearing. In the middle was a man, standing with his back to me. He was wearing a long brown trench coat, black pants and nice shoes. I remember how shiny his shoes were. He turned and stared at me.
His eyes
I couldn't look away from them
They were blood red
In a blink, he was right in front of me, I couldn't look away
Then I was cold, pain radiated off my body
I screamed, the most horrifying scream I never thought I could
I then saw Sam and Embry, I screamed for them but they couldn't get to me, they couldn't do anything
Then, I felt teeth. Giant razor sharp teeth, ripping me apart
I woke to my alarm going off, sweat rolling off me. Sam opened the door, walking in.
"I heard you scream" he said, looking intently around the room "Is everything ok?"
It took me a minute to answer, I was disorientated
"Yeah" I said, "I think so" looking down at my arms, turning them over
Sam looked at me questioningly. "I'm fine" I said, looking up at him, trying to convince him
.
.
And myself
.
.
"Get up and get ready for school" he said, hesitated and shut the door behind him
I groaned, school started for me today. I got up, showered and got dressed. I figured I'd just wear jeans and a flannel shirt, it's cold out.
I walked out of my room, after brushing my hair and teeth and walked into the kitchen. I poured myself some cereal and juice and quickly finished it.
Sam took me in his old, rusty pickup truck, to school. After bringing me to the office and getting me all set up, he left and I was on my own. Embry showed up at each classroom doorway, after the bell, to walk me to my next class.
The school day went relatively fast, and Sam was parked out front after the final bell. A few of the boys all got a ride with Sam, giving me shotgun, of course.
I grumbled, lugging my school bag into the house. First day of school and I had homework. Granted, I was off for a month after my parents….
My parents..died.
I sat down on my bed, rubbing my face between my hands. God I missed them. My mom's perfume, her cooking, My dad's laugh and his corny sense of humor. Most of all, the way they were proud of me, no matter what I did. I felt alone.
Shaking my head, trying to clear my head, I sighed and grabbed my English homework out. I had a lot to catch up on. Leaning back into my bed, I started.
I worked my way through English, Math and History before I was interrupted by a knock at the door. It was Emily, saying supper was ready.
I left the books sprawled out on my bed and left my room to the kitchen. As usual, all the guys were there, ready to eat. Sam pulled the chair out for me to sit and we started passing the bowls.
"You've been really quiet since you got home" Sam said to me, after scooping some mashed potatoes on his plate
"Just getting some homework done" I said, taking the bowl from him "You wouldn't believe how much they piled me with at school today"
Quill laughed "I thought I smelled something burning, the wheels in your head must be a little rusty"
I looked up at him, and kicked his shin under the table. Not smart, hurt my foot more then him
"If you're done, you want to watch a movie after supper?" Embry asked quietly
"Uh" I said, thinking how much work I had left "Sure"
With the dishes done and supper put away, The whole collective group settled down to watch a movie.
A slasher, none the less. Quills dumb idea.
After changing into my flannel sleeping pants and a cami, I sat between Quill and Embry, snuggling into Embry. He wrapped his arm around me, rubbing his hand up and down my arm soothingly.
When the part where the girl, in pitch blackness, runs and hides from the killer into her closet and the big orchestra type music starts playing, I buried my face into Embrys chest, peeking through my hands in fear.
What can I say? I'm a big weenie when it comes to scary movies.
And it didn't help when, watching said part of the movie, Jared came up behind me and grabbed my arm and screamed "AHHH!"
Lets just say, I screamed and punched him in the jaw. Eliciting laughs from everyone and a high five from Quill.
Jerk.
After the movie, Sam and Emily retired to bed, Jacob and Quill went to relieve Leah and Paul and Embry and I went to my room.
I put my books back in my bag and laid down, patting the bed next to me. Embry looked uncomfortable but joined me anyway.
We laid there for hours, just talking. He asked me of my parents, my life back in Minnesota. I asked him of his mom, what he really thought of being a wolf and if he even liked it.
All the while, he would play with my hands. I noticed he always had to have some kind of physical contact, someway.
"So" I said, looking over at the clock, 11:48, "What was the big secret, yesterday?"
He watched himself play with my hand, tracing the lines in my palm
"What do you mean?"
"The one where Sam asked me to leave so he could talk to you guys?"
He sighed, looking up to meet my eyes
"I can't say"
I groaned "let me guess, Sams order?"
Embry nodded, playing with my hands again
We talked a little while longer, before I realized it was a little past one
"we gotta get to bed" I said, yawning "school tomorrow"
He got up to go, but I grabbed his hand
"Stay" I asked, remembering my nightmare from the night before "atleast until I fall asleep"
He looked torn, but went over and shut the light off and crawled, fully clothed, into bed next to me
"Don't get any funny ideas" I added, smiling "I'll yell for Sam if you do" Embry chuckled "I wouldn't dream of it" He leaned down and kissed my temple
I didn't dream of the red eyed man that night
.
.
I woke up the next morning to my alarm, Embry gone. I kind of was disappointed that he was gone.
I showered, brushed teeth and dressed, ready for school. School went by quick, but Embry wasn't there. I asked Sam, on our way home, where Embry was. He didn't ever give me a answer.
When I walked into the door, I was introduced to Bella, by Jacob.
"Hi, I'm Hannah" I said, shaking her hand "Sam's cousin"
"Bella" she said, shaking mine in return "Jake's friend"
The door opened and almost the whole pack walked into the house, looking for food.
Everyone but Leah….and Embry
I was getting worried, where was he?
After the boys got their snack, I followed them outside; they were going to throw the football around
"Playing fetch?" I asked, an evil grin on my face "I can throw it for you"
Bella laughed, coming outside, followed by Jacob
"You do know they will get you back for that smart-alleck comment?" Jacob said, grinning
Quill was all too sudden behind me, picked me up and unceremoniously dumped me in the lone snow pile near the house.
"QUILL!" I yelled laughing, running after him, pelting him with the little snow I could find.
"HANNAH!" Sam yelled from the door "Come here"
"K!" I said, laughing as I shoved a handful of snow on Quills head
Running up to the house, I entered the front door. Sam shut it behind me
"Have a seat" he said, pointing to the kitchen table where Emily was already sitting….

'Oh Geeze' I thought 'this can't be good'
