Alice: I know what you're going to say! "I do not own twilight."

Me: Actually I was going to say "WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Alice: Really?

Me: Yes. You're a bad psychic. But, yeah I don't own twilight.

Embry POV

It's been three days after the leech attack and Leah hasn't improved. She got worse. Now she lies there, still, in a coma state. Dr. Fang (aka Carlisle)has been over to see her many times. He says her condition won't improve until we get the venom out of her system. And getting it out of her system using surgery might kill her. I'm NOT risking losing her. She just can't leave me on my own to face the world without her by my side. Carlisle said she's still fighting but there's nothing more we can do.

I haven't slept since the attack. Even if I had tried I wouldn't be able to. The moment would just keep replaying in my head. I haven't left her bedside. There is a permanent butt print of where I have been sitting. Seth is here too. He was crying for hours and now he has no more tears to cry. He really loves his sister. If she was awake, she would be saying, 'Seth, what are you crying for? I'm fine.' The thought brought a small smile to my lips.

Unexpectedly, Emily walked in. "Seth, your mum is on the phone. She wants to talk to you."

Seth looked at Emily and then back at Leah. As he turned, he looked at me then at her again and smiled sadly. I could hear him slowly explaining Leah's state but it was blurred.

Now it's just me and Leah. Me and my sweet angel. And my sweet angel was hurting. The venom is slowly engulfing her and I can't do anything to stop it. I reached out and grabbed her hand tenderly.

Suddenly a miracle happened.

Leah's hand tightened around mine.

I don't think I was ever more scared and happy at the same time.

Suddenly her eyes fluttered open and she gasped for air.

"Leah?" My voice was full of concern and worry, "Leah? Are you okay?"

I practically panicked for her. Then she spoke.

"Yeah dumbass, I'm fine." She smiled at me. I can't believe she's okay. I thought I had lost her. Forever. I couldn't have lived like that. "I don't remember anything. What happened to me?"

"That's not important right now. What's important is that you're here and you're safe."Her eyes lit up, her angelic face was practically glowing. She was the face of natural beauty.

"What are you staring at?" Shit, I didn't realise I was staring at her. But how could I not stare? She's beautiful.

"Sorry, I didn't realise I was staring at you." My cheeks flushed a deep red. "Well I should tell the others you're fine. Get some rest."

I kissed her forehead and walked towards the door.

"Hey, get me a glass of water please."

"Sure." I smiled and walked out.

The whole pack was here. Sam was the first to notice me standing there.

Ugh, Sam. God, I still hate him for he did to Leah. How could he hurt that bad? And for Emily? But his excuse is 'Imprinting'. I hate that excuse. I hate imprinting. I hate not being able to have a normal relationship without worrying about promising your soul to some random chick.

"How is she?" His deep commanding voice interrupted my thoughts.

"She's awake." Sighs of relief were passed around the room. "She's just resting up."

"I better call Carlisle." He immediately picked up the phone.

I went to the kitchen to get the glass of water my princess asked me for. I hear footsteps behind me and I turn to see Seth, eyes watering. But he's smiling. I guess their tears of joy.

"Hey Embry?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"For what?" I didn't do anything. In fact she got hurt for that same reason. I didn't do anything. I just stood there and let this happen. I should have protected her.

That's what I told him. "It's not your fault. She didn't listen to you. She would have dived in even if I told her not to go. She wants to prove a point that she's not as weak as she looks."

"Believe me, she doesn't look weak." We both laughed a little.

"But still, Em, thanks for just being there for her and for tearing that fucking leech limb from limb." My eyes widen. This was the first time I've heard little Seth swear. He's 16 now so I shouldn't be shocked that he swore but still.

I rushed back to Leah's side. Sam was there, holding her hand. It took everything in me to not growl at him.

"Here's the water you wanted."

"Thanks Em." She smiled and then turned her attention back to the asshole.

I turned on my heel and made for the door. "Oh hey Embry wait..."

"Yes?" Anything for you sweetheart.

"You owe me a bite out of your leg."
