I wanted so badly to see her again, I just had to or it would drive me insane. But I have to do patrol with Paul and Sam, so I ran into the forest and let the trembles take over me. I lumped and shifted mid-air and landed all wolf. I took the eastern perimeter close to the beach; I sincerely hope sapphire will be there I want to see her face. When I think of the last time I saw her face it was either covered in mud or angry at me I shivered.
Seth, stay focused, Jacob thought
Sorry, it's just what if she doesn't like what I am. I thought sadly.
"LEAH" my eyes widened Jacob started running toward my direction. I bolted toward the beach because the voice sounded like Athena's. I reached the tree line in minutes but I was too late I saw a massive wolf and instantly recognized it. Leah changed in front of Athena why would she do that. I heard Leah's thoughts and she was furious at Sapphire. SAPPHIRE I thought and Leah's head showed her now she was surrounded in her own blood and he blood gushing out of her arm into salt water. SALT WATER. My sapphire is hurt all because of Leah.
Seth it wasn't my fault she started it! Leah screamed at me
You hurt my imprint my voice almost gone. I fazed back and quickly put my clothes on I ran as fast as I could to her. She was whispering to her sister but I couldn't make out the words. When I was close enough I heard Athena ask, "Did Leah just turn into a wolf?" I whimpered eternally I didn't want her to think of werewolf's as beast who wanted to harm her.I saw Athena wrap something around her arm before Sapphire broke down in a sudden violent cry.
I walked up to her trying to control my breathing, the closer I got the worse I felt. Her arm was all red and there was a claw mark from wrapped around the back of her arm. Athena had moved her hair whispering softly trying to sooth her. It was a really deep red around the edges and it kept bleeding. I picked her up and quickly took a short cut through the woods to her car to avoid the questioning glance and stares. She didn't protest and I was glad. When I sat her in the car, Athena jumped in the back looking very worried. I was on edge about every movement and blink she took; I couldn't help wondering why she wasn't feeling any pain.
As if just on time she wailed out in pain so I drove faster we were so close. "Just hang in there sapphire, please we're almost there" I pleaded to her she cant give up on me now. She was fading fast because her wails and cries were fading as well. Athena was shaking her violently trying to keep her awake but it was no use she was slipping. We arrived at the hospital just after she blacked out. I took her out of the car and Athena and I ran into the hospital and we ran into Carlisle. Carlisle I really love this man, we explained everything that happened and he called out orders and they took her unconscious form from me.
The packs apart from Leah, their imprints, the Cullens, their mom, everyone came and we were all waiting. In the small waiting room, made for only six people, It was silent and cold no one moving it made me think of my fathers memorial. That thought only made it worse; I shook it from my head.
I don't know how long we all held our breath until Carlisle walked in, bringing hope through the door. We all smiled but he frowned in return making me shoot to my feet, "what's wrong?" I asked anxiously. "She's blind" Carlisle whispered
"What?" I asked devastated. "But it's only temporary!" he said gently. I whimpered, "Are we allowed to see her?" her mom asked. "Yes, but you will have to be extremely quite she's asleep and now her ears are more sensitive to sound." We all nodded.
We walked down hallways and passed door I didn't really pay attention I only wanted to see her. We finally arrived at a door we hesitated outside the door but I was the first one to turn the knob and walk in. I was shocked to see her just laying there. She had needles all in her veins and she shivered when Paul closed the door. I walked quietly to her side. Her head rested on her shoulder and she was smiling. What if she wakes up and only frowns, I shook the thought away I realized it was the first time I saw her smile.
It made me smile at her I sighed, I imprint and this happens. This is my entire fault and if I hadn't imprinted on her, this would have never happened. I felt a pat on the shoulder when I looked up it was Edward. He probably heard my thoughts, "it's not your fault Seth" he said low enough so the humans wouldn't hear. The others slightly nodded, just a small movement barely noticeable. I looked up from her and at her mom and her sister. Her sister eyes held unshed tears and her mother let her tears run down her cheeks holding her hand. I wish I could hold her hand.
Sapphire POV
I couldn't keep my eyes open and I could feel the darkness taken over me. Like lifting thousand pound weights. Athena and Seth were begging me to wake up, I have to hang on my cries were fading and I just hope it be know that I died trying.
Blacknessā¦. My only thought and the only thing I see
. I started to see blues and reds and all kinds of colors. I recognized this place. I smiled ear to ear; I was at my Ayeron Beach. My dad owned this beach now it was ours now I guess, there was no one here but the closer I got to the water line, I saw him. He was in swimming shorts, and no shirt. He beckoned me to him and I ran into his open arms where every our skin was uncovered tingled and he pulled back and bent down to kiss me. (Bet you weren't expecting that) "Seth" I cooed as our lips molded together. Sparks flew and I felt a fire deep inside me like a volcano erupting. I wrapped my arms around his neck, he fell back on the hot sand, the ocean lapping at our ankles.
I broke the kiss and lay on his bare chest, my hand running over his arms as he wrapped one around me. I felt at home I looked up him and we locked eyes, because he knows how much I love his emerald eyes. My hair fell at the sides of my head creating a curtain of our own privacy. He smiled wider and whispered, "I love you, Sapphira Monet Ayeron" I smiled wider and whispered back, "I love you, se-" but of course my consciousness has to intervene and I started to wake up.
My hands were at my sides and I moved them around and felt plastic. I moved my hands down further and touched my thigh. I'm in a plastic dress I sat quiet for a moment and heard a lot of things all at once. Horns beeping and people yelling, heart monitors, a really panicked one, then a dead one. My right arm was all bandaged up and it was so dark. Why would someone turn off the lights at a time like this? I swung my feet to the side and fell off the hospital bed. I hit the cold floor with a thud and a shriek.
I felt my face to see if I broke something, but my hands found my eyes they were covered in cotton and I think glasses. Why would I need glasses? I started panicking and hyperventilating. The voices only got louder and It sounded like a car was coming right at me, I fell on my side waiting for the truck to hit me. But it didn't, I got to my feet and everything that happened at the beach came rushing back. I winced and my arm sizzled, I listened for my mom but only found Seth, sounded like he was in cafeteria with the rest of the muscular dudes he hangs with. "Seth man listen she'll be fine you need to eat something." Someone said. "Jacob's right, starving won't help her."
One with more authority said. I knew who they were talking about, so I didn't need to listen anymore. I tried to find my mom or Athena "but how can she be blind, her arm got hurt not her eyes!" it was Athena who said that. "Blind. Blind. Blind!" I couldn't stop saying it out loud. I'm blind! "Well it seems the claw could have damaged a nerve close to eye sight in the brain. But you should think about the good side of this, it's only temporary!" a Carlisle said urgently. "How long do you assume she will be blind?" my mom said pain dripping into her words. "A couple months maybe less" he whispered. I couldn't hold it in anymore, I know im not much of a crier but I had to. Tears fell from my eyes and rolled down my cheeks barely slowed by the cotton fabric. I climbed back in the hospital bed, wiped my tears and sat there what more could I do. I put my face in my lap and cried internally.
The door swung open and I heard the person gasp and rush over to me, I figured it's probably my mom but the footsteps were heavier. "Seth?" I questioned just saying his name made me think of my dream. I smiled absent mindedly as he wrapped his arms around me in a huge. I got to my knee and openly hugged him, "How did you know?" "What other brawny guy would run up and hug me?" I whispered and put my face I the crook of his neck and broke down, I felt so open around him like I could be myself.
I let the tears flow and he rubbed my back in small circles it mad me really sleepy almost. I closed my eyes and we broke the hug because I could hear the others. I wiped my face off and put face in my hands I took a deep breath. They all came in bringing hot air with them, which brushed against my face. They all ran to me and Seth, "Sapphire, we think you're-" Carlisle started but I cut him off, "Blind" I finished. "Yes, how did you know?" "I heard you." I whispered honestly. I could feel the change in the air, and a lot of confusion. "Well you seem to be stable so I will run some more test and you can go home."
Once we arrived at home Seth followed close behind me and my family. He refused to leave my side, which I thought was so sweet. So he was allowed to go with us to our house but Athena was getting suspicious. He helped me into our house and into my room, I closed the door and he put me in bed.
My mom and Athena wanted to object but I shooed them away, he put me in my bed and said good bye. But I stopped him; he turned and sat next to me, "Yes?" "Why are you so nice to me although you don't even know me?" I asked. "I-I-I have-" he started but changed his mind and sighed, "I'm helpless to a woman in distress." And he got up and left out of my room. I laid back in my bed and slept a dreamless sleep.
