Chapter 4: Embry's POV
"What the hell man?" I thought looking at Jacob.
"I'm sorry Embry. She's just dangerous. I don't trust her. You could get hurt."
"You don't know anything Jake. You can be all over protective of that half vampire child and ignore your duties as the leader of this pack but I can't be with Ellie. That makes no sense and it's none of your say what I do with her anyway. She is mine." I growled. Ellie looked at me confused.
Carlisle clapped his hands together. "Why don't we call it a night? Lucas, why don't you take Gianna and Ellie home? I will come to check on her in a little while."
The vampire Lucas nodded. He was tall but not nearly as tall as me. He had blonde hair so light it could have been white and eerie red eyes. "Thank you for your help Carlisle." The vampire picked up the pregnant girl and set her in the front seat of his car. He looked at Ellie expectantly. She petted my head softly before running over to the car. I watched as the car disappeared around the bend.
"Jacob, why don't you go home and rest? We have some important matters to discuss?" Bella said calmly before walking back inside the house carrying a sleeping Renesmee.
I turned on my heels and ran off into the forest.
"Come on man. Please let it go. I get it. She's your imprint. I'll back off" Jacob's voice sounded through my head.
"Jacob that was really low and you know it" Seth's voice stated. I had almost forgotten about the others.
"Embry, just forgive him already. We don't have time to deal with this if we're going to have more vampires running around La Push" Quil said joining the conversation.
"I just hope that bloodsucker steps out of line so I can dismember him. Did you see his eyes? He'll kill himself before he even tries to be a "vegetarian". I'm shocked he hasn't killed the pregnant chick and the little freak." Leah said.
I stopped in my tracks and turned around to growl at her. "She is not a freak!" I yelled. The small grey wolf stood her ground.
"Yes she is. She's as much a freak as those leeches. Have you seen what she can do? She can create a mountain if she wanted. Or she could incinerate you in half a second."
"Shut up Leah, you're one to talk Miss. Girly Wolf Freak!" She stopped and stared at me in shock.
"I hate you!" she screamed in my head before turning in the opposite direction. Seth growled at me and ran after her.
"I'm out of here" I muttered and turned towards home ignoring Jake's and Quil's pleads.
When I reached home I slammed the door realizing it was already midnight.
"Embry, where have you been!" my mother's angry voice sounded from the kitchen.
"Out" I muttered trudging up the steps.
"I'm not done with you" she yelled from downstairs.
"Well I am!" I shouted slamming the door. I collapsed onto my bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Ellie's POV:
The ride home was silent except for the sound of our breathing and the car's wheels against the road. Arriving home I immediately leapt from the car and ran upstairs to take a shower.
"Not so fast." Lucas's hand clamped down on my shoulder causing me to let out a small shriek. "Relax. It's only your big bro" he said.
"What do you want? I have to take a shower" I asked annoyed.
"What happened between you and that wolf kid?" he asked in all seriousness.
I sighed audibly. "Nothing happened."
"Ellie, something did happen and you're not telling me what. I need to know. This could affect our future here and if it gets out of hand I'm going to have to alert Caius and take you back."
"No!" I yelled grabbing his forearm. "You can't tell father. If he knows he'll kill him or worse. He'll force me to kill him. I… I can't. I don't how to explain it but… I… I love him. He's like my other half. If anything happened to him I'd kill myself. I can't live my life anymore without him."
He sighed and dragged his hand down his face. "Ok. Say that you two start a relationship. That baby is coming in a month Ellie. I have to change you myself before then. What do you think will happen? He would probably kill you and us if you became a vampire."
I remembered my dream. I had been a vampire in my dream and he had killed me. I shook my head clearing my mind. "I'll handle it when the time comes. For now just don't mention it okay?" I begged.
"Ellie, I don't know" he started but I cut him off.
"So it's okay for you to knock up my human sister and change her when you know she never wanted to be a vampire but I can't be with my soul mate. I don't care if he's a wolf and wants to kill vampires. He doesn't care that I've allowed so many innocent people to be murdered for my own selfish reasons! I need him Luke" I whispered the last part.
He cringed at my statement but didn't argue. "Fine, I won't tell but if they somehow find out or he flips when you become a vampire I'm not going to be the one to settle it with dad" and with that he sped down the stairs into the living room.
"Love you to" I yelled knowing he'd hear me. I turned and jumped into the shower. After my shower I changed into some PJ's and went to bed.
"How could you do this Ellie? How could you become this… this… this monster?" Embry yells at me. We are standing on our cliff overlooking the ocean.
"I didn't choose this for myself Embry. It was planned before I met you! I couldn't back out of this even if I wanted to!" I screamed my hands balled into fists.
"You could have run away, with me. We could have run away together!"
"I can't run away from this Embry. They have the best tracker in the world. They would have found me eventually!"
"Whatever Ellie, you chose your path. I can't be with a leech." He phased and ran away from me, taking my heart with him.
"Don't leave me!" I screamed sitting up in bed. I was once again covered in sweat and I could feel the bruises forming around my eyes. I got up and washed my face before trudging downstairs.
Gianna lay on one of the black leather couches in a nightgown and an oversized sweatshirt. She was cocooned in blankets sipping from her blood filled cup and watching the morning news. I trudged into the kitchen and pulled some coco pebbles from the cupboard. I poured myself a bowl and sat at the island watching the news with my sister.
"Ellie, can you tell your dog lover to leave. He's stinking up the house." Lucas yelled coming in through the sliding glass door. I spit my cereal all over the counter.
"What do you mean he's stinking up the house? He's here!" I shrieked fussing with my messy bun and crinkled pajamas.
"He's on the back patio. He keeps whining because I won't let him in but he stinks. He stays outside" he said plopping down on one of the arm chairs.
I ran over to the glass door and looked and there he was. My giant grey wolf with black spots stood at the door leaning his nose on the glass. I noticed a pair of jean shorts tied to his ankle with a leather cord. "Go home" I yelled pointing towards the forest. He whined and pressed his face to the glass. "Go home now. I'm pretty sure you're ignoring your pack duties by being here. We wouldn't want any vampires coming and attacking me would you?" I heard Lucas scoff from the living room. "Shut up vampy boy. I'm trying to make a point!" Embry whined but I just pointed in the directions of the forest. A low groan erupted from his throat which I took as a "Yes mom". When he disappeared I ran upstairs and took yet another shower. Yes, I'm one of those people that must feel clean all the time.
I wrapped the towel around my body and walked over to the window. It was rather warm considering it was summer although in this area warm was considered 75. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a black bikini with white polka-dots and little ties at the waist, bust, and the back. I slipped it on and also pulled on some jean shorts and a red camisole. I let my hair fall in gentle waves down my back and applied a little water proof makeup. I smiled at my reflection before grabbing my phone, keys, and my towel.
"I'm going to the beach. Call if you need me" I yelled slamming the door behind me. It wasn't far so I just walked the 10 short minutes to the beach. It wasn't crowded but there were still a few people down a ways. It looked like a group of teens from Forks but I didn't pay them any mind. I laid my stuff gently on the sand and slipped out of my clothes until I was just in my swimsuit. I walked slowly over to the water and slipped my toe in. It was freezing. I heated it up a little where I was standing and stepped in submerging up to my knees. I heard a whoop of laughter and a splash. I turned to see the wolves jumping off the cliff and howling laughs before plopping down into the icy water. I saw Embry up there laughing with the rest of them and I smiled inwardly. At least he and his friends weren't fighting anymore.
"Excuse me but can I set my stuff here?" I turned to see a girl about my age standing next to my stuff. She was thin and about 5'5 with shiny black hair cut into a bob. Her russet skin stood out against the green bikini she wore and her chocolate eyes were framed by thick lashes.
"Sure" I smiled.
"Thanks" she smiled and sat down at the edge of the water.
"No problem" I said sitting down next to her.
"You seem new since you're not with them" she gestured to the teens surfing farther down the beach. "Or them" she pointed at the wolves who were still howling and laughing like a bunch of deranged mutts.
"You are correct my friend." She smiled.
"It's nice to have a friend. I'm new to so I don't really fit in here" she said playing with her fingernails.
"I would have thought you were from here" I said gesturing to her russet skin. It reminded me of Embry's.
"Well, I'm originally from her but I moved away when I was a baby. I just moved in with my cousin Jacob and uncle Billy since my parents thought it would be good for me to learn a little bit about my heritage" she muttered under her breath.
"You're related to Jacob!" I yelled.
"Yes, sadly, I know, I know he's a douche." She started laughing and I couldn't help but join her.
We rolled around on the ground over come with giggles.
"I don't think he likes me very much" I sighed.
"Don't worry. He's just a hot head sometimes. If I have to I'll force him to like you." She laughed and brushed some sand off her legs.
"Thanks buddy" I smiled and got up walking back into the water.
"So where'd you move here from?" she asked following me into the water.
I gulped. "Uh… I'm from Italy" I said wading in a little deeper.
"Lucky! I've always wanted to visit Italy. But how come you don't have an accent?"
"I stayed inside a lot" I muttered. It wasn't really a lie. I was locked inside the chamber most the time. The few times I was allowed out it was just to shop or to visit my grandma and I always had a bodyguard so I was never able to socialize with anyone. In fact this was my first real conversation with another human being in ages.
"Well that sucks. I heard Italy is gorgeous." She said walking over to me.
"It is" I whispered looking towards the sand.
"So stranger, what's your name? I'm Selena by the way" she said holding out her hand.
"Ellie" she smiled and shook my hand violently. I think it came unhinged from its socket.
"So… you want to have some fun" she said raising her eyebrows suggestively.
"What kind of fun" I asked suspiciously.
She smirked and splashed me. I screamed and tried to hide my face. I looked down at my now drenched body. "You're dead" I screamed chasing her. She shrieked and ran onto the beach. I could feel the wolves' eyes on us now but I didn't care. I was going to get revenge on my new best friend.
"Oh Selena" I cooed. "I'm not going to hurt you" I said as innocently as I could.
"Think fast" I heard behind me. I turned only to get soaked from head to toe. Selena fell to the ground laughing hysterically.
"Hate you" I muttered under my breath.
"No you love me" she insisted.
"But I just met you!" I said flailing my arms.
"So, I'm your new BFF so you have to love me."
"Fine" I gave in. She squealed and hugged me before skipping over to her towel. I dried myself off and lay down on my towel.
Selena joined me. We lay there for about 10 minutes listening to the hollers of the wolves.
"So who do you think is the hottest?" she asked pointing towards the werewolves who were watching us intently now. Embry was watching me with a smile. I saw his eyes skim over my body and his smile widened. I just rolled my eyes and put on my sunglasses.
"Embry" I said twiddling my thumbs.
"My brother's friend Embry?" she asked.
I nodded. "Darn, I wanted him" she silently cursed.
I growled. "He's my boyfriend."
"Don't get your bikini bottoms in a bunch. It was just a thought." She looked back up at the cliff and I noticed the younger one Seth giving her a goofy grin. When she met his eyes she got the same goofy grin and half dreaming expression.
"Never mind" she whispered. "I'll take Seth."
"Oh boy" I muttered face palming myself. I could see Jacob throwing another fit of anger. Seth held his hands up in defense, an apologetic look on his face. "Let's go" I said grabbing her arm and dragging her towards the road.
"Where are we going?" she asked sneaking glances back at the now invisible cliff.
"My house" I said dragging her into a bush.
"Cool" she said slipping her clothes back on over her wet suit.
We ran home as fast as we could. When we reached the driveway I stopped dead in my tracks.
"What's wrong" she asked sensing my discomfort.
I sent Lucas a mental note. "Get out of the house now or be prepared. I have a human girl with me."
"I'm out. I was taking Gianna to Carlisle's anyway. See you in a few hours." His voice disappeared from my head and I heard soft footsteps disappear on the other side of the house. I waited about 30 seconds before willingly dragging Selena into the house. She gawked at the leather couches and the complete structure of the house just as I had the day before.
I dragged her upstairs to my room. She plopped down on my massive bed and studied my room.
"Man, your rich. Billy's only got one spare room and it's the size of a one of your bathrooms" she said peering into my medium sized bathroom.
"That sucks" I said lying on my bed.
"So when do you start school" she asked going through my closet.
"Tomorrow" I groaned pulling a pillow over my head.
"Me too" she squealed jumping on my bed. "I hope I see Seth there." She sighed dreamily and hugged a pillow to her chest.
"I don't know. I just feel like I have this strange connection with him after looking into his eyes. It's so hard to explain." She lay back on the bed and repeatedly sighed and whispered his name. I heard a knock on the door.
"Stay here!" I ordered. She just waved me off and continued on with her love fest.
I threw open the door and saw a very mad looking Jacob holding a very love-struck Seth by the collar and a nervous Embry behind him. When he saw me his face brightened and he pushed straight past Jacob and hugged me.
"I'm missed you" he said twirling me in a circle. I laughed and hugged him back. "By the way, you looked very sexy in that bikini" he whispered in my ear. I shivered and he nipped my earlobe. I held back a moan as Jacob groaned and stepped inside.
"Hey" I snapped. "Did I invite you inside MY home?" I emphasized the MY. He just rolled his eyes and scowled.
"Where is she?" he demanded.
"Last door on the left" I said following him as he dragged Seth up the stairs. He threw open the door and stared in bewilderment at the sight in front of him.
Selena was having a giggling fit and rolling around on my bed whispering Seth's name. "Are you sure she's related to you?" Embry asked glancing between Jacob and Selena.
"I'm not so sure anymore" Jacob said unsure.
"Well, she sure as heck looks like you so either she is or she had plastic surgery." I said walking between them. I shook Selena violently and she jerked up.
"Seth!" she screamed and tried to make a run at the poor boy. I held her back with all my strength.
Seth snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. "Selena" he sighed as if she were a precious jewel.
"Please tell me I wasn't this sappy" Embry whispered in my ear.
"Not even close" I said watching the odd couple.
"Break it up" Jacob yelled pulling Seth and Selena apart.
"Jacob, you love killer" Selena complained.
"Hush up; we're taking you to Emily's so you guys can meet the rest of the pack." Selena nodded and Seth put his hands on her hips. She sighed in contentment and sniffed his shoulder. He laughed and she blushed although her russet skin made it hard to see.
"Who's driving?" I asked and all 3 wolves turned red. Great, I guess it's me since I don't trust any of these boneheads with my car.
"How about we just phase and you ride us because I doubt any of us can fit in your tiny sports car." I stuck my tongue out at Jake and he did the same.
"Fine" I muttered. The boys phased and Selena looked ready to go into cardiac arrest.
"What the hell was that?" she screamed. The smallest sandy colored wolf walked over and stood next to her. She cautiously stroked his side and a humming noise came from his throat as he rubbed his head against her side. Embry rests his head against my side as we watch them fuss over each other.
"Now that is scary" I say to him and he barks. I laugh and he lowers himself to my level so I can climb up onto his back. Selena does the same and soon we are running through the vast woods of La Push. I'm used to the rush of the air from running with Felix but Selena looks generally frightened and about to pee herself.
After about five minutes of running we reached a small wooden house obscured by woods. It was two stories and made entirely of wood. The porch is covered in buckets of flowers. It is surprisingly very welcoming. The boys run into the woods to phase and me and Selena head into the house. We enter a large kitchen. A beautiful woman with long silky black hair and 3 ragged scars running down the left side of her face looked at us and smiled. I didn't gasp at the scars. I was used to seeing horrible injuries. Selena on the other hand had a quick intake of breath but tried to hide it.
"I'm Emily" the woman said holding out an oven mitt clad hand. I smiled. "I'm Ellie and this is Selena." She pulled both of us into a welcoming hug and returned to the stove.
"Selena!" a voice rang through the house. Selena was pulled into the arms of another woman who looked a little younger than Emily. She looked a lot like Jacob except for her long curly black hair and black framed glasses. You could tell she was very smart by the way she dressed. "I'm your cousin Rachel. You probably don't remember me. I'm Jake's older sister."
"It's nice to meet you" Selena said sincerely and hugged her back. Another girl, about 17 or 18, walked in carrying a little girl who appeared to be 3 or 4. Both again had the tradition Quileute features. "I'm Kim and this is Claire" the girl said smiling at us. She seemed shy but she was nice. I smiled warmly back and introduced me and Selena who was already deep in conversation with Rachel.
I plopped down at the table with the other imprints. "So where are you from?" Rachel asked me.
"I just moved here from Italy." I stated plainly. I was not looking forward to explaining my life history to these people. They probably thought vampires were cruel soul less creatures who had no respect at all for human life. Well, most didn't so they were right I guess.
"I guess the elders were wrong when they said imprinting was about enhancing the gene" Kim said taking a swig from her water bottle.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"Well, most of the wolves have imprinted on Quileute or Makah girls. Jacob was the only wolf who imprinted on a non Quileute and she's half vampire. We thought it was just some kind of weird mix-up but I guess not" she said with a shrug. I nodded my head in agreement and suddenly the house flooded with teenage boys. Most took straight to the couch but a couple came into the kitchen to greet their imprints. Embry walked over to me and picked me up out of my seat so he could sit down. He then gently placed me in his huge lap. He nuzzled his chin into my neck and inhaled my scent. I laughed and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Aww" I heard across from me and I turned to see all the imprints staring at me. I blushed and hid my face in Embry's bare chest. He just laughed and pulled me tighter to him.
"You guys are so cute!" Selena squeaked causing me to blush. Suddenly a tall man burst through the door and stared accusingly at me.
"There are vampires in the area and she's one of them!"
