Author's Notes: Hey everyone, sorry for the late update. It's been a lazy time for me as of late. =.= But anyways, here is the next chapter in the series. There's a bit of fluff so I have to put out a fluff warning ahead of time. Anyway I know most of you don't read this but here's the story.
Disclaimer: I'm getting tired of doing this . but I no want lawsuit... So I must sadly admit I do not own Twilight. Or Sam or The Pack. All I own is Crimson and this story.
Crimson's Point Of View:
I had been sitting in the clearing I had awoken in with Sam for a while now. I knew I had to go home and face my mother. I had to tell her. No matter what happens, she needs to know I love a werewolf and it isn't going to change just because they don't like them. She was also going to kill me for scaring her like that.
"She's going to kill me isn't she?" I asked aloud.
"Probably. The entire time I've been working with them she's been a little crazy. I even heard her talking to herself once." Sam told me.
"What? No way! That's hysterical! Well I mean the talking to self thing, not the going crazy cause she thinks I'm dead thing." I said laughing slightly.
"Yeah... it was a little creepy." Sam said.
"Come on let's head back." I said as I stood up.
You sure? I mean we could stay until they come back and find us." Sam said standing up as well.
"It would be best if I went now so she won't have to be kept waiting longer." I said.
Sam walked up to me and lifted my chin up before his lips met mine in a heated kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled slightly into the kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hoisted me up to where I was practically standing on his toes so he wouldn't have to bend down so far. The height difference between us was amazing to me. I was pretty tall where I came from but compared to him I was nothing. After pulling away we began walking back just enjoying the walk when I looked up at the sky and noticed how late it was.
"We better hurry so we can get back before dark." I suggested.
"Well unless your okay riding on my back while I am a wolf the rest of the way there we can't change much." he said.
"Silly, you seem to forget I have vampire in me. I could probably out run you." I said.
I knew that would get him.
"Alright then Crimson. How about we make a deal. Last one back pays for our date next week." Sam said.
'Did Sam basically just ask me out on a date?' I asked myself. 'Duh of course he did. What kind of stupid question is that?'
"Deal." I said as we shook hands.
He began to take off his shirt. While he wasn't looking I caught a good look at his sculpted chest. He was nearly twice as wide as me and it was pure muscle, and he had a set of abs that you could get lost in. He then began to take his pants of which at that I began to walk away. I just wasn't ready, mentally at least, to see him naked. Soon I saw the same huge black wolf as I saw in the clearing earlier today.
"Ready Sam?" I asked.
'Of course.' he thought to me which still freaked me out slightly.
We both began running full speed we both had the same goal to get to the edge of the woods first. Sam wasn't going easy on me anyways. I'll just keep that in mind then. If he doesn't refuse a challenge then that could be very handy for me later.
We ran for a good thirty minutes before we saw the edge. I put one last burst of speed and I hit the edge first. Sam followed a second behind me.
'How did you do that?' he asked.
"I didn't run at full speed until the end so I could gain an advantage." I confessed smiling deviously.
'Smart little vamp aren't you? I'm going to go change and then I'll drive you home the truck is right nearby.' he told me.
When he came back we walked another few minutes before I saw his black four door pickup truck. We both got in and he began driving. The drive was quiet. Nobody wanting to upset the calm mood that would soon be shattered anyway.
When we got home it was eight at night and my mother came rushing out of the house like a bat out of hell. I was out of the truck all of half a second before she started firing questions at me.
"Crimson where the hell have you been? Why have you been gone for so long? Why did you leave? What happened to make you leave? Do you know how worried I have been? I missed you so much!" all of this she said in literally under five seconds.
"Mom calm down please. I was at this place I found out in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't stand to be here another second. I felt abandoned. I am sorry to have worried you, and I missed you too, but I don't regret what I did." I said.
"Excuse me?" she said.
"I had a reason and I stand by it." I told her.
"May I at least know the reason?" she asked slightly irritated.
I sighed.
"Bella, my first friend at school, took one look at me that last day and with a look of disgust walked over to her new friends. The Cullens. The pain, mother I felt right then was too much. If I was fully human I probably would have died from literal heartbreak." I confessed.
"Aww... my baby." she said as she grabbed me in a tight hug.
She looked over at Sam.
"Thank you Sam, for everything." she said.
"Of course." he said as he walked away.
I looked at him and mouthed 'I'll see you later' to him while mom wasn't looking. He just nodded and drove away.
'And now the hard part.' I said to myself. 'Time to tell mom I love a werewolf.'
I walked into the house and was quickly grabbed into a hug by my father.
"Don't ever do that again Crimson! Please... I don't think my heart could take it." he said as he crushed me into a vampires equivalent of a bear hug.
I walked up stairs and sat down in my bed. I had a feeling mom wanted to talk to me. Sure enough she came in a few seconds later.
"Crim, you have no idea how much pain you through." She said with sad, solemn eyes.
"I didn't want to mom. It's just the way things happened. Speaking of which, you need to know. First promise me you won't be angry at me or the person this involves." I said.
"I promise." she said.
"I... I love a werewolf." I said.
My sentence was met with silence. A second later my father came in with a scary look on his face that rivaled my mothers.
"I love him and he loves me." I said.
"Who?" my mom asked.
"Sam Uley." I said.
"Your in love with a werwolf... a guy werewolf nonetheless." my dad said. "My sons gay..."
"Mom you told me he would be fine with it." I said looking at her.
"Don't you ever fucking call me mom again!" she said angrily.
"What?" I asked shocked.
The next thing I know she throws a drawer full force at me which shatters as it hits me.
"You have three minutes to get the fuck out of my house!" she yelled before flashing out of the room immediately followed by my father.
"I..." was all I said before I gave in.
Tears racked my body. Drop by drop my bloody tears hit the floor. I quickly wiped them away before I gathered all my things going numb all over. I heard them coming up. I kicked out a huge portion of the wall leaving a gaping hole before jumping out. A little satisfaction if you would. I landed gracefully on my feet. I heard the sound of followers before I ran. I ran at my full speed. I knew there was only one place I could go now. Only one place that would accept me. I ran from my pursuers for a time until I approached and crossed the border which I knew they could not cross with out starting a war. They stopped dead in their tracks. Hissing at me.
"Never return or we'll kill you, traitor!" my mom hissed.
Then in a flash they were gone.
I refused to cry now. I refused to let them get to me now. So I ran. I ran the path we always went when I was heading to his house. Within a few minutes I saw his house. Luckily the lights were on. I ran up to the door, knocked and waited. I heard a movement coming from the inside. It was coming for the door. When the door swung open it revealed a very tired looking Sam.
"Crim? What are you doing here?" he asked.
I just wrapped my arms around him and all the tears I had been holding back burst forward like a dam.
"Crim? What's wrong? What happened?" he asked the concern nearly palpable.
"My mom and dad just disowned me." I said through the violent tears which were currently ruining his shirt.
"What? Why?" he asked confused.
"My mom because I love you, and my dad because I'm gay and I love you." I said crying even harder.
He just hugged me close to him, rocked me back and forth, kissed me on the top of my head, trying to get me to calm down. After a while the tears stopped. He led me inside and sat down on the couch with me on his lap. His arms hugging me tightly.
"I have nowhere to go now Sam. The rest of my family all live in Florida." I said.
"Crim you can stay here with me." he said.
"Are you sure? The elders wouldn't mind?" I asked.
"No. They weren't even mad that you found out about us because of the fact I had imprinted on you." he said.
"I just can't belive they would disown me like that. Just for loving a werewolf?" I asked confused.
"I truly am sorry that happened Crim. I wish I could change their minds." he said as he held me close.
"I don't even know what to do anymore Sam. I mean I can't go back, they said they'll kill me." I said.
"You don't have to go back Crim." he said hugging me to him.
"But what about school. I mean I at least want to see Bella again. Even though she left me." I said.
"We'll just have to watch you to make sure nobody tries to hurt you." he said protectively.
"Yeah that won't be suspicious. Some six-foot plus men watching me every second of the day. I can just hear the rumors now." I said rolling my eyes making him chuckle slightly.
"Yeah I guess that would be a little suspicious." he agreed.
"What day is it anyway?" I asked.
"Saturday." he answered. "Look today has been a long day for both of us. We're both tired so let's go to bed. We can talk more about this tomorrow."
"Sam..." I began. "I don't want to sleep alone tonight."
Sam smiled at me as he stood.
"You don't have to. Come on." he said as he walked me to his room.
When we got to his room I was amazed at the size of it. The room could easily fit at least 5 king size beds and you would still have enough room to move about freely. It was decorated in a calm style. There were no really bright colors. It was all dark colors. Giving the room a very calm feeling. The lightest color in the room was the walls. They were a dark tan color. Luckily the light and the dark balanced out in a nice way so it wasn't hard to look at. He walked me over to his bed and motioned for me to lay down. I crawled into the bed and found it incredibly soft. Once he was in bed I knew I had to do something.
"I just wanted to thank you again Sam. I don't know what I would do without you." I said as I turned to look him in the eyes.
"Well I honestly couldn't let you have nowhere to go. Besides, you're here now and that's all that matters." he said as he held me to him.
Wrapped up as I was in his arms, I snuggled up to his chest and let the warmth overtake me.
The next day when I awoke I found myself still wrapped in his warmth. I couldn't tell if he was awake at this angle so I started moving trying to let him know I was awake. He immediately released me, however.
"Good morning beautiful." he said making me blush a little.
"Eh it's to early in the morning Sam." I groaned as I rolled out of bed. "I'm going to go take a shower."
"Okay, but don't take too long. The guys will probably be here soon." he said.
"Alright." I said as I got up and walked out of the room.
I walked to the room he had designated as mine and walked into the bathroom. As I took a short shower I couldn't get over the feeling that I was being watched. I opened the curtains slightly and looked around. Maybe on of the pack was trying to mess with me. After a quick look I saw no one was there. I decided to talk about it with Sam later.
After I got out of the shower I got dressed in my black jeans and plain black long-sleeve shirt. I've never been a big fan of short sleeve anything. Even in the Summer. I got to the stairs when I noticed something. Something that hadn't been there before. It was an extreme thirst, but I realized I was hungry but it registered as thirst. If my memory is correct today is my sixth birthday which made me nineteen. I hadn't told anyone because well technically I had stopped aging last year. I noticed I no longer aged whatsoever. I was so hungry, and somehow I knew I wasn't hungry for food. All I knew is I had to tell Sam. He'd know what to do. I stumbled my way to the living room only to find he wasn't there. So the only other place he could be was the kitchen. I walked over to the kitchen and luckily he was there fixing breakfast.
"Sam..." I said weakly already haven forgotten about the incident in the shower..
What I noticed next scared me. I could practically hear his heartbeat. Even through his skin I could smell his blood. A wave of nausea hit me making me fall over slightly having to hold the door frame for support. Sam must have seen because he was over to where I was standing in an instant.
Sam's Point of View:
I had been fixing breakfast for myself while Crim was in the shower. I wanted to fix some for him but from what I've heard he doesn't eat, ever. I was just about done when I noticed Crim come in. Something was off. He was sickly looking. More so than usual. He then slumped against the door frame trying to hold himself up. I was over to him in a second.
"Crim what's wrong?" I asked.
"I... I..." he said trying to say something. "Hun... gry..."
"Well I'm fixing breakfast." I said a little confused.
"No... need something... else..." he said.
I somehow started to get a feeling as to what he was needing. I just hoped it wasn't what I was thinking.
"What do you need?" I asked worried as to what he would say next.
"I... think... blood..." he said as he kept getting progressively weaker and weaker looking.
'I knew it. I just knew it.' I said to myself. 'The one thing I didn't want, is what he needs.'
"But we don't keep blood around here." I told him.
"Sam..." he said.
He didn't even have to say it. I knew what he was going to ask. I was worried though as to what might happen if I let him.
"Are you sure Crim?" I asked worried.
He couldn't speak anymore, he had gotten too weak, so he just nodded slightly.
I held up my wrist to him which he just took into his shaky arms. He brought his mouth down and for the first time I saw his fangs. I didn't feel anything at first. Then a slight pressure and then pain. It wasn't an unbearable pain but it hurt nonetheless. He drank for only a couple of seconds before he tore himself away. He looked ten times better than what he did a moment ago. He looked up at me and I was startled a little by his eyes. They head went from their normal ice blue to a deep black before changing back to their normal color.
"Are you okay Crim?" I said feeling slightly light-headed.
"Yeah, I feel better, but are you okay. I tried not to drink too much cause, well you know." he said.
"Yeah I'm fine just a little dizzy. I have a question though." I said.
"Ask away." Crimson said as he moved over to the table.
"Have you ever drank blood before that, or even eaten any sort of food?" I asked.
"No. I've never had to eat anything, but I do think I know why this is happening now." he said.
"Really, why?" I asked curious now.
"Well remember last year when I had gone through a lot? Well I believe that this was supposed to have happened then. Except I was you know, dead to the world. So it's happening now. Remember when you all found me and I was able to hear you all thought? Well that was a sign I guess is what you would call it." he said.
That's when all the pieces fell into place. It all made sence now. Well at least most of it did anyway. One thing I was sure of though is we were in way over our heads. We needed to know more about vampires if we were going to do this.
"Did your parents tell you much about being a vampire?" I asked hopeful.
"No. The most they ever got into were the abilities." he said sadly.
"Okay then. We need to find someone who knows a lot about vampires if we are going to do this." I said.
"What do you mean 'do this'?" he asked.
"Well I'm certainly not going to just let you gorge yourself on my blood every time you get hungry and we definitely are not going to let you feast on people." he said.
"Well I could always drink animal blood." I said.
"That's right! I forgot about that. I know the Cullens drink animal blood." I said.
"Please don't bring up the Cullens too much. I want to kill them for taking Bella from me. Then again I want to kill Bella for leaving me for them so I don't know what to do." he said angrily.
"Well the only people I know who might know anything about vampires would be the council." I said. "We could go ask them."
"Are you sure? Would it be okay?" He asked obviously worried.
"I already told you, they can't be mad at you because you're my imprint. It's our most sacred rule. Whoever a wolf imprints on is given immunity, so to say, from discrimination no matter what orientation or even species. So if someone would ever hurt someone else's imprint that person and their imprinter would have to fight to the death. That's the law." I said.
"Damn... alright then when can we go?" he asked.
"As soon as you want, gorgeous." I said smiling mischievously causing Crimson to blush.
"Sam! Where are you?" I heard Embry yell.
He walked into the kitchen and stopped dead on his tracks.
"Did he bite you?" he asked almost angrily looking at the blood currently running down both my arm slightly and Crimson's face out of the corners of his mouth.
I felt Crimson tense up as if expecting a fight.
"Calm down Jake. I have a perfectly reasonable explanation." I said.
"Okay then, what is it?" he asked impatiently.
"Crimson here got to the point of death he was so... thirsty, I guess is what you would say. So in order to save him I let him drink from me for a few seconds just to gather his strength." I said.
"But he's a vampire he's venomous! How are you not dying?" he asked.
I knew what he was referring to. All known cases of a vampire biting a werewolf and injecting venom lead to that wolf's painful death. I was curious about that as well.
"Well for one Crim's not a full vampire. So things for him must be different." I said.
"Oh! That's one thing they did tell me when I asked about it. I can kinda turn my venom on and off like a snake. My parents, or my mom at least, called them dry bites." Crimson said.
"Oh, that's interesting." I said.
"Well why is he here now?" Embry asked.
"My parents disowned me for loving a werewolf." Crimson said looking down slightly causing me to get angry.
"Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't know." Embry apologized.
"It's fine, I'm actually happy now. Cause I don't have to deal with their bipolar asses. I mean who goes from pissed as hell to happy and bouncing around like my mother does?" Crim said laughing a bit.
"I'm just glad you're not in a painful situation anymore Crim." I said hugging Crim to me.
"Thank you Sam, and again I feel the need to apologize for just coming up here without warning and practically forcing you to take care of me." he said blushing slightly.
"No Crim I understand. It must have been hard for you to deal with your parents disowning you." I said looking him in the eyes.
"I just don't understand why they disowned you for loving one of us." Embry said.
"Me neither Em, that's one of the reasons why I am taking Crim to go see the Council." I said before being interrupted.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa... Your taking Crim, who happens to be part vampire in front of the Council, who can't stand vampires?" Embry asked amazed.
"Yes Embry, maybe they have some information that could help us. His parents didn't teach him much. Probably because he didn't develop vampiric qualities until now." I said. "You know they can't touch him anyway; he's my imprint."
"True..." Embry said thinking.
"Well I guess we wait." Crim said. "I don't feel like going today. I mean my parents just disowned me like not even twelve hours ago."
"Alright Crim. We'll go whenever you're ready." I said hugging Crim to me again.
Author's Notes: I also wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas on what they may want to see I will consider putting them in the story. Just leave a comment below and don't forget to follow!
