Today was the big day.
I was nervous as hell.
I know nothing bad will happen to me-Embry promised.
But that does not take away the I wanna puke feeling.
I was in my Art class, sitting next to Kim.
The canvas in front of me was blank.
I didn't know what to draw; what to paint.
I was always happy when we got a new canvas for art- I would finally get to put my emotions out on paper with a variety of colors.
But this time I couldn't.
I felt a hand touch my shoulder. "Evelyn, are you alright?"
I turned and saw that it was my art teacher Ms. Lyn.
I shrugged. "I don't know. I just don't know what to do."
Ms. Lyn just smiled at me. "Don't worry your pretty head about it. Remember you only have a month of school left and the canvas is due by the end of the month. You could think of what to draw this week. I know that it will turn out looking great like all your other master pieces." And she walked away.
Kim overheard our conversation and turned to me. "Just relax Evey, everything will be fine."
I sighed. "Your right Kim, but I don't know."
She nodded her head in agreement.
She continued drawing while I continued worrying.

It was raining outside and I forgot to bring my umbrella.
Sure, it rains a lot, but the past few weeks it was only cloudy- not rainy.
So I quickly sprinted to my car in the parking lot and jumped in.
I put on my Backstreet Boys CD. I have always been a fan of theirs. They're my guilty pleasure. I put it to track two- I Want It That Way.
You are
my fire
The one
desire
Believe
when I say
I want it that way
But we
Are two worlds
apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way!
"Tell me why!"
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
"Tell me why!"
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
"Tell me why!"
I never want to hear you say
"I want it that way!"
Then I began to sing the rest of the song.
"Am I your fire, Your one desire, Yes I know, It's too late, But I want it that way!"
Tell me why
"Ain't nothin' but a heartache!"
Tell me why
"Ain't nothin' but a mistake!"
Tell me why
"I never want to hear you say I want it that way!"
I turned the engine off and walked to the front of my house.
Singing the song a bit helped me calm down.
I was walking towards the front door of my house when I heard some rustling in the bushes next to me. I shrugged my shoulders and looked for my house keys when the hairs of the back of my neck stood up.
I slowly turned around and saw Hunter standing behind me. He smiled, but it quickly went away when he put covered his mouth and nose with his arm.
"Ugh! What the bloody hell were you doing with those monsters?"
No.
No, no, no, no, no! I was supposed to meet up with him around 7 at the beach!
He is not supposed to be here!
It took me a few more seconds to get it around my head that he was here- in front me.
I began to hesitate with my answer, "Ugh, you see, I wasn't hanging out with them-"
"Oh bloody hell, don't lie to me love," and he grabbed my arm and squeezed it pretty hard.
I began to wince when he sneered, "I smell mutt all over you! If it was against your will to see them, you would have only reek of them a little bit. But the stench is just too much!"
The guys are not here because they are doing some last minute discussion before the plan.
Obviously the plan is down the drain now- Hunter ruined it all.
But I had to come up with something quickly.
"NO, no! I smell like them because I had to work with a few of them with a project for school! It wasn't because I wanted to; I was forced to do it. School is very important to me."
The pressure on my arm was decreasing until he let go.
He sighed, but nodded his head. "Alright, I believe you."
I let out a shaky breath I didn't know I was holding. He kept starring at me with his red eyes. I could see some emotion in them and then he said, "You probably know that I was lying about the contacts by now, don't you love?"
I nodded.
"Alright. Then you must know the whole truth. I'm a vampire, love."
Oh, no shit Sherlock.
"Oh, well that makes sense," I said.
He then cupped my face and leaned in close to me. "You're not terrified?"
Oh of course not, I'm just trembling because I am so freaking happy. "Honestly, just a little, but I'll be okay."
"So you trust me?" He whispered to me huskily.
"Yes." What the hell was I supposed to say? No? Yeah, if I wanna die.
He then leaned in even closer and whispered, "Be a good girl and stay still."
I did not have time to reply because he pressed his lips to mine.
I felt violated. The kiss was nothing like how Embry kissed me before.
The kiss was disgusting.
Hunter pulled away and turned to look at the woods.
I turned as well.
There, between the huge trees was a wolf with chocolate brown eyes. Then, when I blinked, it was gone.
My initial reaction was to run toward it.
But I stayed in place scared of what Hunter might do to me if I ran.
Hunter might have seen the wolf as well because he made a low hiss sound and began walking towards the woods carefully.
Then a great big gray wolf jumped over me and landed on top of Hunter and the both of them rolled over to the forest.
Instinct told me that the gray wolf was Paul- no one attacks as aggressively as he does.
I followed where they went and was listening to the sounds of growls and more things being thrown in the forest. I was getting closer to the noises when a bumped into a brick wall.
"Get out of here!" I heard the guy yell at me.
This was all déjà vu. I looked up at Embry. "No! Are you crazy? I am not leaving you here!" I shouted. I could not get rid of the sensation of that we were being watched.
"You have to leave," he spoke again; "you might get hurt!"
"Well I don't care! I am not leaving you here with that thing out there! I am coming with you whether you like it or not!"
"If you come with me you could die!"
"I. Don't. Care!"
"Just go awa-" before he could finish, he was pushed toward a tree with great force that the tree itself split in half.
My breath quickened and my heart began to pound so hard, I heard a ringing in my ears.
"My dear, you really should have listened to him," the voice sounded so mesmerizing and so cold at the same time. I turned towards Hunter and was shocked by what I saw.
I screamed.
He looked ferocious. He did not have that calm demeanor that he had when he was with me.
He looked like a bloodsucking monster.
He abruptly covered my mouth with his hand and pulled me towards him and turned around quickly to face the on coming wolf pack.
The wolves stopped heading toward him once they saw me in his arms.
"Now, now love," he told me, "stop crying. Everything will turn out fine in the end."
I was sobbing uncontrollably. The wolves began growling.
Hunter just laughed. "What in bloody hell are you gonna do to me if I have her with me?"
They moved closer, slowly, but surely, closer.
"Oh no," he chuckled, "the closer you come towards me.." he bent down to my throat and his fangs began to cut through my skin, "the closer…" and he licked my blood, "she will be to becoming mine."
At this point I was frantic. I was trying to squirm out of his grasp but realized that it was useless.
I began to cry like I have never cried in my life before.
Hunter looked down my way and began to shush me. "Now, now love, don't worry your pretty little head off, everything will turn out just fine….I promise."
The word promise erupted in my brain and I remember Embry telling me that everything will turn out fine if I believe in him.
As Hunter continued taunting the wolves, I looked to where Embry was pushed and noticed that he wasn't there.
Where the hell did he go?
But what Hunter began to say caught my attention. "I am going to turn her. She will be with me for eternity. I'm feeling a bit nice today, so please kindly leave, so that I can be with my future wife and let the process begin."
Adrenaline took over my body as I heard him say that. I could not scream because my mouth was covered and I could not punch him because he is hard and I could break my hand.
I was trying to find a weakness until an idea popped into my head.
I looked down and lifted my leg slowly, and as he was talking about his master plan, I back kicked his manhood.
He quickly let go of me and pushed me away. I ran towards the others and then as I turned I saw Embry, in wolf form, run towards Hunter.
Everyone else ran toward him as well.
The adrenaline then quickly rushed out of my system and I fell asleep on the ground.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I woke up in my room. I quickly sat up only to be pushed back down to bed by Embry.
"Hey," he whispered, "Just lie down, you have to sleep, we got school tomorrow."
"But my homework," I said.
"Don't worry, Kim's got you covered."
"She did it for me?"
He smiled softly. "Yeah, and she says you owe her. She told me that you would know what she meant by that because she wouldn't tell me what she wanted from you."
I smiled. "Yeah I know what she wants."
"What does she want?"
I smiled and said, "Sorry, but I can't tell you."
He let out a sigh. "Fine. Whatever."
I giggled. But abruptly stopped when I remembered Hunter.
"Hey what happened to him."
Embry growled, "He's gone. Permanently."
I only nodded.
He bent down and kissed my forehead, my eyelids, my cheeks, and my lips.
I thought it would only last a second, but it lasted far longer since he slipped his tongue in.
I got to admit, it felt pretty good.
He pulled away slowly and whispered huskily, "I didn't like it that he kissed you," and he kissed me again, "and I didn't like it when he licked you," and he licked and kissed me where Hunter scraped me.
I was beginning to feel these new feelings I have never felt before. I loved this new feeling, but I was scared. Embry's kisses began to go lower and as he was about to go to my chest. I pulled his head back up towards me and said, "Embry, I'm just not ready."
Embry gave me a soft smile and kissed my forehead. "It's alright," he whispered, "I understand. I'll wait until you're ready- and that means I can wait for forever if I have to. So don't worry your pretty little head about it. Just sleep, babe."
And sleep I did.
