A/N: so here it is! But this time it's Nichole's POV. AGAIN! Asnyway, there isn't much to say here. So….. enjoy!
Nichole
Ugh, two days into our trip and we both fall sick. Damn it, forty-three degrees Celsius, I'm burning and aching. Having both together at once sucks. And I see Jenna next to me, sleeping peacefully. But I know, she is burning as well, suffering the same conditions as me. I just wonder how she does it. She flips so her back faces me.
Its like what, four in the morning. And I haven't slept a wink. And there is this doctor that stinks like rotting cheese, he is super pale. Not healthy pale, but like I'm-dead pale. Gives me the chills. Jenna thinks he smells worse than bad cheese. But whatever, I always thought Doctors are supposed to be clean and hygienic. I really wanted to yell in his face to take a bath. Visiting hours are at ten in the morning. And its six hours away from it. Mum promised me that we both recovered within this week, we would stay a while more. Don't get this wrong, Jenna and I are not sisters. I repeat NOT sisters. Her parents died so my parents are her legal guardians. They passed away when she was six, knocked over by a truck. An uncommon way to die. Anyway, we were best friends ever since and my parents decided to take her in. Her, Jenna and the idiot brother, Jason.
FEW DAYS PASSED
Medicine took no effect. Cheese doctor stopped coming. Jason is getting more annoying. I am rhyming. Okay enough of this rhyming crap. But it is true. The med's aren't working. And the cheese doctor seems to stop coming. He's being replaced. Maybe it's because he smells so bad. Anyway, now I'm stuck with some crap doctor called John Brown or something. It's almost a week, the aches are fading and I feel a lot better, like I used to be. You know, normal. But this "fever" isn't residing. So me and Jenna are stuck here, bored out of our wits.
And then they came. The two hottest boys on earth. Okay, Embry is hotter. Oh gosh, I don't know why I'm feeling this, but it's like I am falling for him. That cute chin dimple and cropped black hair, its amazing. Especially his cloudy black eyes… Damn, I think the world stopped spinning. He is right now the centre of it all. "Hey, how are you? it's been a week of this." He said to me. all I could muster is a smile. Seth obviously made his way for Jenna first. I knew he had the hots for her a long time ago. Okay, maybe not long, but well you know.
Embry placed his hand on my forehead and his smile faded immediately. Somehow his hand felt normal. I mean I am hot, but he can't be hot too! Wait, lets see what he does first… And without saying anything, he walked away and towards Jenna. He whispered something I couldn't hear and then Seth did the same thing to Jenna. And without saying anything else, they left. And I missed him immediately. He was just out of the room and I felt like I was disintegrating into pieces. I never felt like this for a guy before. Especially the ex-s. They're all bastards. Embry kept looking back, but he was only to find me sitting there, grinning with a lost stare.
Heck, I still haven't wiped that smile away. He came back in again, phew. "I am going to talk to the doctor. I'm going to get him to discharge you, we have to talk to both of you." he was grim. "What? What is going on? And don't say nothing, because it is obviously something. So tell me." I demanded. He sighed and the coldness in his eyes softened. " it is, it's something I have to talk to you about. But right now, lets not waste any more money on the hospital fees and get your healthy self out of this sick, sick place."
Well, that Cheese doctor, AKA r. Cullen, apparently let us go. Wow he isn't only smelly, but stupid as well! I'll stop being mean. "Ohmigosh! Guess what? Seth asked me out! Aaah! You are right! How about yours?"
"Not yet. He's being mysterious and all."
"Haha too bad! Because mine's awesome."
"Shaddup."
I felt this anger boiling in me. I don't understand it. Its weird. I mean lately, I have been so easily irritable. But then I felt Embry place his hand in mine and all anger left. "didn't you want to know what was going on? Well, I'll tell you, but you have to come first. Then the secret will be yours to keep. Okay?" Then I saw this grin that I will probably think of before I sleep for the rest of my life.
Not long later…
Why are we at the forest? And why are the boys here again? And there's this mysterious unknown girl. I don't remember seeing her. Maybe they picked her up like they picked us. By us I mean me and jenna. But Jenna wasn't there yet. Then this girl said, "Where is the other one? "
Other one who? Another girl? What? I'm confused. And the, one of them, Jared if I am not wrong came and told me this.
" Well, you are uh… Embry! You're supposed to take over! She is your girlfriend!" and then I see Embry looking slightly paranoid and putting his finger on his lips frantically.
"oh oh… you haven't told her?" Jared suddenly went deathly silent.
"What? Embry, ever since I got here, I am nothing but a confused wreck. I can't take so much information at once." I was getting frustrated again.
"Okay, well this is not going to be the last and you probably won't believe me… you are a wolf. A werewolf." I blinked twice. Maybe three. But I know I blinked.
"Nice one Em. Now cut the crap and tell me! I wanna know!"I whined.
"this one is bratty." Leah said.
Embry shot her a cold glance and she raised both hand like she was giving up.
"it is the truth. You're supposed to phase a few days ago… I guess you got a delayed reaction. But I can show you my wolf form, maybe you'll believe me." And then he took off his shirt and then he went poof. Like Poof poof. And then he turned in to this huge adorable dog. Wolf. Yeah, wolf. He had gray fur and white spots. I seemed to love him even more.
"Embry?" I asked slightly afraid. I reached out to touch him, but I hesitated. Do I really want this?
Wolf- Embry moved forward and my hand touched his soft beautiful fur. It was breathtaking. Would I look like him once I turn into one? Damn, I must look like a five year old kid who has never seen a puppy in her life before.
"Uh, Embry, you can't talk right? This is uh… I don't know… it's beautiful yet… disturbing." And then I heard Embry whimper. Maybe I shouldn't have said disturbing. But then the next thing I knew, he was backing up towards a tree and then there was this flash and Jacob walked over and handed him a pair of jeans.
Embry came back out and said, "I am so sorry for scaring you." he came closer, but then hesitated and took a step back. Great, now the boy that I officially like hates me. Say something! Anything!
"I wasn't scared, I was disturbed. But I'm fine now." And again, I saw that smile, the really pretty one. Bingo!
This time, I went up to him. "Now, we got that cleared, I want to know why James, sorry, Jared said something about a girlfriend." My hands on my hips, I was obviously demanding an answer. He looks really nervous.
"I'll help." Paul cut in.
"Nope Paul, I want to hear this from Embry only." Paul sniggered and backed away.
"Well, you see, us werewolves, have this ability of imprinting… and imprinting is like… Falling in love… no its like an instinct to tell you who your soul mate is. And it creates a bond with him, or her. It's really falling in love hard and strong and you just can't be apart with the person."
I was taken aback. There I knew it, he didn't like me. he had a soul mate already.
Keep it cool Nicky. I took in a deep breath and said coolly, "Then why are you here? You should be spending time with her!" I think my eyes gave away, because I swear that everyone here can see the hurt in my eyes.
"I am. She is standing right in front of me. I imprinted on you." Embry said, reassuring me. I lightened up immediately. wait, did that mean I imprinted on him too?
"Wait, did I imprint on you too? I think I did, it the hospital…" Embry smiled. "Of course you did. but I imprinted first!" I rolled my eyes and slapped his chest gently.
"oww… that hurt… you really have strength." He whined.
"oops, I am so sorry…" but I cut myself off because I saw Jenna coming in. I ran to her.
"JENNA! OH MY GAWSH YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS, IT'S SO COOL" I yelled
"you evil woman, keeping all these secrets from me." she said, smiling. I'll let Seth take over. Just one more thing, I stuck my tongue out at her. "you'll find out in like two seconds anyway."
And I left. Seth's turn. I whispered to Embry, "Seth imprinted on Jen right?" he nodded and said watch.
And I realized I could hear every word, and I was like ten feet apart. "So, we have insane strength and hearing?" I blabbered again, forgetting that he just told me to watch.
"there is more, like speed, healing, endurance, durability and advanced senses and yes speed and strength." He explained patiently.
And the next thing I knew, everyone, almost everyone I mean, exploded into wolves. So did Jenna. Her fur is like reddish brown. She is so beautiful… and they are all not talking… and I was the only human. Damn! Why haven't I phased? And then later I threw Jenna some clothes. Jacob told me to do it. I have no idea why. Until they phased back. "My eyes! My eyes! Oh I'm blind! I'm blind!" I yelled. They were naked!
All the other wolves inched out and Embry told me to go too, because Seth is going to tell her that he imprinted on her. As he half dragged me out, I started screaming " I wanna see too! She's my sister!"
But I still got dragged away any way. and after she was done I still haven't phased. Ugh. "why haven't I phased?" I asked Embry.
"I don't know too. But you sure have the genes. And it'll take time. you're probably a late bloomer. But all the same, it's good to know you imprinted on me too."
"I guess so." And then awkward silence again.
"Hey, I think Jenna and I have to go back home. and by the way, where is Jason?" I asked.
"There. And he phased already." Ugh, do I have to be the last one? I rolled my eyes again.
"you look really cute rolling your eyes." I laughed and Jason approached me.
"hey, I am gonna work on impersonations. Because if I can be a werewolf, I can do impersonations." He said. "so, tell me who am i? and with that, I would like a cheese sandwich, thank you, thank you very much. "
I stared at him.
"I'm Elvis Presley! Come on, I am going to work on this the whole time here." No! I can't take that the whole vacation, no no… I can't take that.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Jack black!" he whispered Jack Black really loud.
"oh I got one for you. All vacation long, without Jason, makes Nichole a happier girl. Nichole Kent!" and then Embry started laughing. Jason stormed off. Such a baby.
