DISCLAIMER:I do not own Twilight, New Moon or even Eclipse. I am just a fan with a desire to create fake plots for the characters. I do own Liz and any characters in this story that aren't in those books. Although they are for sale at 1,000,000,000,000.00 ( just kidding) D
CHAPTER 6
The ride over was comfortable. We had the radio blasting. We were listening to a rock station. I was singing along, loud and obnoxiously .Just to be silly. Embry eventually joined me and was doing silly dance moves while driving. I was cracking up when he started singing ima Barbie girl, and acting like a girl. Hand flicks and eye fluttering and tall, muscular, masculine Embry were a very funny combination. I loved that he had a fun side too.
We pulled into Emily's driveway and I began cracking my knuckles nervously.
"Stop fussing" he scolded. I gulped and bit my lip, as he opened the door. Bella had explained the room to be small and crowded in the book but it was actually a really big room. I mean it fit all 10 of the werewolves, and there was still room for more. Although not many.
I was expecting everyone to stop and stare, but surprisingly everyone was relaxed and a few people just shouted "hey" or "what up". Embry waved back and led me into the kitchen.
"Hey Emily I would like to introduce you to Liz" Embry said as she turned around. I knew she would have scars so I prepared myself. I was never one to judge ones appearance but I knew she was someone that would need extra compliments.
"Hi Emily!" I said in a genuinely happy and sweet tone. "Embry hasn't shut up about your cooking yet" I told her. I noticed her shoes , they were adorable!
"Omy gosh! I love your shoes. There so cute." I told her giggling. She beamed.
"I know, aren't they? I got them on sale!" She replied.
"Hmm,… You and I are definitely going to have to go shopping together sometime." I told her.
"O that would be wonderful, hey what are you doing next weekend?" she asked. I really liked her; she was so cool I can see us being close friends already.
"I was just thinking that" I laughed excitedly. I noticed Sam watching, and he seemed actually happy with Emily and I together. I guess he realized that Emily liked me, and that meant I was ok. Then again how can anyone not get along with her. She was so nice, and fun.
"Hey, let me give you my number and we'll talk during the week" I told her. I grabbed a pen and post it from my bag and wrote it down.
"Ok, sounds good .I can't wait" she replied. I waved and turned to Embry who was watching in awe. He didn't say anything, but he smiled warmly.
"Are you ready to meet everyone else?" He asked. I nodded and he led me back to the living room.
"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet Liz." He said as everyone looked up.
"Liz, this is Paul, Leah, her brother Seth, Jake, you remember him, and Aiyana, Brady, Quil you know, Collin, Jared and Jared girlfriend Kim." He told me. I looked over the group and waved politely. I could finally put a picture to the characters. The only one I didn't recognize was the 14 or so year old girl, Aiyana. I wondered who's imprint she may be. Brady's...or maybe Jake's .She was sitting between them. So it must be one or the other's. I hoped she was Jake's. He needed it more, although he was pretty normal the other day.
Some waved, a few called out greetings. Quil asked me how my vision was. I laughed at that and replied with 'I think I'm going blind'. That caused a few confused faces and a snicker from Jacob, and Quil. Embry sat down and waved me over. I went to sit down but someone sat down in the spot. I returned to my original spot.
"WTF.Dude, Liz was going to sit there,"Quil yelled .I realized Brady had been the one to steal my seat. Quil smacked Brady's head jokingly. He had been sitting on the other side of Brady.
"Sorry but Aiyana made me move, because she wanted to stretch out." He replied. The group laughed that the tiny girl made him move. She smiled proudly, and laid her head on Jacob's lap. It was so cute!
"Its fine I like standing" I said to end the argument. Realizing I needed to interfere.
"I'm sure you do." Quil replied sarcastically. I shrugged, it didn't really make a difference.
"Come on sit on my lap." Embry suggested. I happily obliged, but didn't let anyone notice.
Everyone talked freely, and I joined right in. I was asked many questions on my life and so on, but nothing to difficult. There was a comfortable atmosphere to the group and I felt right at home. As time passed, I stopped talking and slipped into a comfortable observation of the group. My thoughts began to explore, and in the comfortable position I began to fall asleep. I hadn't felt tired but maybe from the lack of sleep the past few weeks have caught up to me.
Just as I closed my eyes and leaned my head on Embry's shoulder, Emily called for lunch. All at once the boys raced to the kitchen. Pushing and shoving and shouting things like "Move" or "Food!" I looked around stunned. It seemed like a stampede. The room was cleared except for Embry and me.
"Are you ready to go eat?" He whispered quietly in my ear. I smiled at him and got up. We walked the short distance into the dining room. Everyone had there plates piled high already. Embry pulled out a chair, and I blushed. He was so cute! I was starting to feel guilty though. He loved to eat, and I couldn't cook. I always wanted to be one of those loyal girlfriends, or wives that cook dinner, but I always did something wrong. Also I am a vegetarian, and no one likes us. Its not that I am some crazy animal activist, its just it bothers me. It just doesn't appetize me.
I grabbed a roll. My guilt was making me lose my appetite. Then again who was I to think that Embry would want me in his future? Besides I was only staying for the summer. My depression began to kick in. This fantasy world was just a joke. I didn't belong here. I belonged in New York, by myself. My heart began to ache, and my throat became soar and dry. I needed air.
Ignoring the group, I got up and walked outside. I barely noticed someone question where I was going. Although I heard someone say "she needs a minute to herself, leave her be". As I closed the door, I heard a distinct sound.
"Show
me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in
the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what
i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the
answer"
It was my favorite song. It was also the sound of my ring tone. Sighing deeply I fished it out of my bag.
"Hello" I answered it. I hadn't looked at the caller ID , and I wasn't sure who would call.
"Hey, ET...Look I'm really sorry." A guilty voice told me. I recognized it as my friend Marissa.
"Hey missa, what happened" I told my friend .Nothing would bother me.
"It was an accident, and I'm really sorry" she repeated. I hadn't the energy for this.
"Cut to the chase" I snapped.
"She's dead, she got hit by car." She mumbled between tears. My cat, Lucky. I knew instantly.
"Its okay, don't cry. It's not a big deal." I soothed my friend who seemed to be sadder than I. Although mixed with my depression the news made me angry.
"I mean, really. It only seems fair that if God has left anything I care about, for him to take care of it later." I was past hysteria. I was bawling my eyes out now.
"Liz, I'm really sorry. I..." I cut her off. "I got to go" I said as a goodbye. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, and I turned to look expecting Embry. Instead it was Sam.
"Everyone heard?" I questioned. He nodded.
"Of course" I murmured.
"Let's go for a walk." He said gently but I knew it was a command.
"Who are you?" He asked. That surprised me, what did he mean.
"I know you know, but the question is how." Sam said. I stared shocked.
"Uhh…it won't make sense. How did you find out?" I asked
"A lot of ways such as how you hold yourself around us, how you seem to already know everyone, you never asked about the heat thing or the food. Back to you, how?" He questioned again.
Sighing I replied "I read it in a book. Not just any book though. It's an actual book about your lives and the Cullen's." I told him
"Except the weird thing is, where I'm from it's suppose to be fictional. I came here to get away. The books described how wonderful this place was, and it was my favorite book. I was trying to escape, and I thought being here I could escape from reality. Boy was I surprised when you were all real. The book was told in Bella Swans POV, but she didn't write it." I told him. He nodded calmly.
"So the whole world knows we exist?" He asked.
"Well actually it'll probably be mostly teenage girls, with a few exceptions. Also I'm not actually sure what is real anymore, this may all be a delusion or something." I replied.
"Ok…one more question, what happened to you?" He asked. The dreaded question. I looked a him in pain.
"Do you really want to know?" I asked hoping he would say no. "You're not going tell them about this, Right? You can control your thoughts." I begged him.
"No, this is your story. I understand. Plus you are not a danger to us." He assured me.
"I have one more question though, last night Embry told me not to go out. Was there a vampire?" I questioned him.
"No" he laughed. I gave a questioning look.
"He just is overprotective of you." he laughed again. "I only told him to leave because I thought he was moving to fast on you" he joked.
"How did you know?" I asked. "That he was with me"I clarified.
"You're his imprint; of course he was going to be with you." He told me. OMG! I didn't know for sure I mean wow. My mind was working so fast I couldn't think. I faintly realized Sam was calling me but everything clouded and Blank!
