Chapter 6

X-men

Finally I awoke. I had been doing a lot of collapsing. I felt a little better. Somebody was holding my hand, I squeezed it.

'Are you feeling better?' It was him. Yay.

'Much now that you're here.' I croaked.

'Good. Now what was it you wanted to talk about?'

'You go first.' I said, I still hadn't opened my eyes.

'Ok. Um… well… I'm a Quileute, right. Do you know any of the Quileute legends?' He asked.

'Actually I do. When you said you were Quileute I did some research on Tom's computer.' I replied, feeling glad I had.

'Cool. That makes things easier. Do you know what we are supposedly descended from?'

'Erm… wolves?' I asked, unsure.

'Yep. Well there is this one story about Wolf People and the Cold Ones…'

He explained everything. It was… odd. My boyfriend was a Werewolf and the doctor who fixed me up was a Vampire. Wow, cool. Also he loved me. No it was more, much more, he had imprinted on me. Even cooler.

'Ahh, good evening Miss Stuart, I'm Carlisle Cullen,' It was the doctor.

'Hi. Thanks so much for…' he cut me off.

'It's my pleasure, and my job. Anyway I've come to explain everything.'

'About what,' I asked, worried what he was going say.

'You had multiple fractures, a broken right arm and lost a lot of your blood. We taped up your fractures, put your arm in a cast and did a blood transfusion.'

'Whoa, whoa wait. You gave me a blood transfusion?' I freaked out.

'So Embry explained what we are, did you know we are vegetarian?' He asked me.

'Oh, I forgot. I just panicked, sorry.'

'It's fine. I forget you only just found out our secret. Anyway, you know what Embry is, yes. Well he gave you his blood for the transfusion. The blood did something strange, the cells of his and your blood merged. Meaning that…'

'I'm a werewolf?!' I shouted.

'Well a hybrid of one, you may just be a were-dog.'

'Wow, that would be just as amazing.'

'I will have to monitor you for a few weeks, but apart from that you will be fine.' he said. I began to look around. We were in a small library. No, wait. It was a large office. I was on a hospital bed. The doctor began checking my blood pressure.

'Where am I?' I asked, not sure I wanted an answer.

'In my house. Embry took you straight here. You seem fine, I'll leave you two alone. Call me if you need me.' and he walked, no glided out.

Embry stayed with me all day. And the next he only left for the toilet twice. Carlisle checked in on me in the morning and evening, he assured me I would be up and about by tomorrow if I continued healing at this rate. His wife, Esme. Came in a few times with food for Embry, each time asking if I needed anything. She reminded me of my mother. She was kind and spoke softly. I could see the concern in her eyes and the joys when I finally felt up to eating.

She made me promise if I needed anything to call her. After about three days of her fussing about me Carlisle announced that I was mending better than he had hoped.

'If you feel up to it you can get up if you want. You can watch TV downstairs of borrow any of my books if you like.' He said as he removed the final tubes and wires from me.

'You can use my computer, too, if you wish.' said a voice from the doorway. I looked up. There stood a very pretty, elfin-like, girl. The only thing missing were the pointed ears.

'I'm Alice.' she said shyly.

'Hi Alice. Thanks.' I replied. Her eyes glazed over and she walked forward with a faraway look. She stopped next to Carlisle and grinned at me.

'Not at all, I'll do anything for a friend.' and she danced out of the room, humming to herself.
