Chapter 7: My Angel is Real

Emmett's P.O.V.

I could hear voices come and go, for a minute I thought I was waking up. More like I was hoping I was waking up. The pain I felt was somehow getting worse, if she was getting me help why was I still in pain. The voices I kept hearing were kind, soft and caring from the sound of it. There was one voice I remembered, it was the voice of my angel. After what felt like to be forever I simply just woke up.

The pain I felt before was replaced by something strange. Something hard to describe, something that was clearly unique, I have never felt anything like this before. I couldn't find words to make this new pain make sense. But it wasn't painful, I have never felt better actually but I still felt off. As my vision started to focus I could see things so much clearer now. The clarity was amazing, completely beyond belief. I knew that being attacked by a bear would not make your vision better. As I looked up and began to scan the room I saw her. Was she my angel, was she the one who saved me.

There was a remarkable glow that radiated off her skin; it was like nothing I have ever seen before. She was as fair as snow with hair that looked like fresh sunbeams shining down on the most beautiful flower you have ever seen. Her beauty was something you would find only in a fairy tale, something so unexplainable, so breath taking . Her lips looked like she just kissed a rose straight from mom's garden. She had a look of comfort and sadness. About that time she yelled,

"Carlisle come quick, he's awake. Please don't be afraid, May I ask you your name? "

My angel spoke; Her voice was like music to my ears. Soft and gentle full of harmony. I was so memerized by here voice I couldn't figure out how to speak. A whole group of people came up stairs in what seemed to be only seconds. They all kind of had the same fair skin. I was trying to figure out what to say first. Everything, I mean everything was so strange...so new. As panic started to fill my body I slowly backed into a corner. I wanted to run but wanted to stay with my angel. I needed to leave but had no clue how. As a hundred different things ran through my mind a man with blond hair began to speak.

"My name is Carlisle, I'm a doctor. Can you tell us your name? What is the last thing you remember?"

"Emmett Dale McCarty" my voice was different, almost not mine " I remember, well not much actually. There was a bear that started to attack me, I was looking for my sister. My Sister!"

Horror suddenly slapped me in the face, my sister. She was lost and hurt. Is she okay, was she hurt, did the bear get to her too, did Ryan make back to dad in time, where is the rest of my family and who are you people. These were only some of the questions that I was able to spit out; hundreds more were still there. I grabbed my head as images suddenly started to replay as I slowly began to move away from the strangers that stood in front of me. It's hard to explain the rush of emotions that I was suddenly very aware of and fear was the main one. I was afraid but at the same time I knew I was safe, I had to be, my angel wouldn't hurt me. The man that was standing next to my angel called Carlisle began to speak again. He had a soothing voice, but I still couldn't let the fear go.

"I assure you things are going to be okay, you are safe now."

He went around the room and introduced everyone. He went on to explain a few things like, why I feeling the way I was, the tingling that made my throat burn and how things became what they are now. But most importantly he gave my angel a name. Her name is Rosalie. The tall man standing next to her was given the name Edward. The woman who stood next to the doctor was called Esme. She was his wife. He went to explain how I was found and the condition I was in. With sadness in his eyes he went on to say that this was the only way he could save my life. So I wasn't dead like I thought and before I could get words out of my head, Edward stepped forward and began to speak.

"Your not dead but you are not alive either. We are vampires and no were are not angels and your sister will be fine. When Rosalie brought you here Esme and I went to look for your sister. When we found her, she was hiding behind a huge rock and some trees extremely frightened. Esme looked her over while trying to keep her calm and I wrapped up her leg. She's broken her leg in what looks like a fall. In time she will heal just fine."

I just stood there, closer to the corner now. How was I supposed to handle the news. Was I supposed to be happy, thankful, or sad? The woman who the doc referred to as Esme started to come over to me. The looks in her eyes were that any mother would have in them.

"I think you should know this, she keep saying over and over again that she was sorry, so very sorry. That an Angel came and got her brother and took him away."

Esme turned and walked quickly to Carlisle, I couldn't understand why there was so much pain and sadness in her voice. Carlisle excused himself and walked Esme out of the room.

"I will return in a few minutes son, Rose help Edward take care of him" with that, he was gone, more confusion was not what I needed right now. I wanted answers.

"I need answers, I want answers. What did you do to my sister, why is Esme upset. There are so many things that I don't understand right now."

"We will try to answer all your questions and try to make this as easy as possible. I'll start with your sister, your sister asked if we were going to take her too." Edward said "We told her no that we were here to help her family find her and that her brothers would find her soon not to worry. I also told her that you would be okay that your angel was taken really good care of you right now. However you would not be coming home. She said she knew that when she saw his angel take him away. As she drifted off to sleep again, no doubt form the pain, she kept saying 'I'm so sorry I couldn't help him. I hope he knows I love him'."

My only thought at that moment was how I wanted to protect her but I failed. I couldn't find the words; I was totally and completely weak. What kind of brother was I? "Edward, please tell me everything is going to be fine. Where did you put her?"

"Esme pulled some leafs together and I laid her down on top of them, your brothers were told to go by the lake again just in case what your other brother found turned out to nothing. Everything is going to be okay in time. I wont lie either, it will be strange, hard and difficult in the beginning but" he turned and looked at Carlisle and said you like to finish this now.

"Emmett. Edward is right. I know things will be very strange at first and difficult some of the time but we are a family. Edward is my son, he was the first I turned. In 1918 he came down with the spanish influiza and was dying. Esme, my beautiful wife, her story is hers to tell but I found her and she was the second I person I changed. Rosalie was found almost dead, her story is also one that she will have to tell you in time. Anyway she was the 3rd person I changed, she is my daughter. We have all been frozen in time and will live an immortal life stuck at the age we were when we died. We have decide to live as a family, you are more than welcome to stay with us and become a part of our family. In no way can we replace your human family and I would never ask you to forget your other family but it is safer if you stayed away for a while until we get your thirst under control. We should go ahead and eat now. We have a lifetime to talk and answer any of your questions, explain things that are a little confusing right now. Rosalie will go with you and we will be close by, Rose if you smell any humans get him out of there."

We left the cabin, when we were outside everything was new, it was like I have never seen most of it and it's incredible. Everything was so vibrant and detailed. Even though I felt weak with guilt, I was so much stronger than before and faster too. The drinking of blood is what a vampire dose but it is a strange idea. Rosalie said that each animal has a different taste, the larger the animal the better the taste. I nailed a deer, tackled it would be a better term. The taste was strange but very satisfying. Then something caught my attention. When I look ahead it was two grizzly bears. Rage and hatred fill my body. As I ran after them all I could think about was the pain this animal cause me, the images of my sister hiding behind a tree broken and scared. My brothers, I would never get to see them graduate, get married or have children. My parents, the pain and lose my family would now have to go through. My mother will be a wreck, my father would be lost for words. My temper was so out of control, I kill both of those bears. There was not a drop of blood left in them. I ripped one of them to shreds, while throwing the other one around like a rag doll. By the time I finished with them they looked like a fur covered bag of bones. When I could go no further, when all the anger and hatred left my body I just dropped to my knees, what was I going to do without a family. Without my family. The idea was something I never dreamed of. No more camping trips in the summer or big family dinners where mom made my favorite cherry cobbler. No more visits to Nana's house where me and my sister would fight over the peach cobbler only to have our brothers get to it first. I wouldn't get to go to school or see my brothers graduate. I just wouldn't be there, what was I going to do without my family. They are the only thing that I ever known.

Rosalie walked over and gentle placed her arm on my shoulder and told me that "we will get through this and we will do it together". We went back to the cabin. Everyone was there waiting on us to return. Rosalie told them of my outburst and Carlisle said it was completely understandable. He then started to explain everything again, the do's and the don'ts, the offer to stay and become a member of the Cullen family. Rosalie seemed to like the idea of me staying around. "If it was good enough for my him and my angel, then it was good enough for me."** So with that I decided right there, if this is what life had in store for me then go with it. So on that day I became Emmett Dale Cullen, a vampire...Imagine that.
