Chapter 5 Werewolves and Night Mares

Latter, I woke up with a start, it was still dark. I could hear eight hearts beating and everything else was quite. I moved out of my sleeping bag and walked toward the door. I picked up the hoody Alice gave me. I walked out the back door and felt the chill of the night. I put the hoody on, it smelled like Jasper. I walked quickly to the river and picked my way across to the other side. I heard movement in the forest, like something running. I walked deeper into the woods. After a few minuets the sound grew louder and then I heard panting. I looked to my left as a wolf walked out from behind a rock formation next to me. It was huge. Easley the size of a horse and it was a sandy brown. It slowly walked toward me as if not to scare me. Then it rubbed its head up against my hand. It repeated that motions several times until I started to pet him. After a few minuets it ran back behind the rock formation. I watched it go. Then I heard foot steps. Seth walked into my line of site. He just had on a pair of pants. The clouds moved and allowed the moon to light the area.

"You should not be here." He told me

"Why I'm fast enough to out run anything and if I can't I'll just change." I said

"What about the hunters?" he asked, I blanched

"I would transform and flee!" I snapped

"Let's get you back to the house." He placed his hand on my shoulder and turned me around.

"Why do you care?" I asked, "That wasn't suppose to sound rude." I quickly clarified

"It's okay," He said smiling directing me toward the house, "I just want you to be safe, because Jasper and his family have been very kind to us."

"Oh."

We walked in silence until we made it to the clearing. We walked across the river. I glanced up at the sky.

"It's been so long since I've been able to see the stars like this."

"What?" he looked at me.

"The stars, we travel so much that we haven't had time to stop and smell the roses." I told him, "I can't remember the last time I just looked at the stars." I smiled a little. We walked up on the porch, then we sat down on a bench and just looked at the stars.

"How do you do it?"

"Do what?" I asked looking at him confused

"Travel, just pack up and leave?" he glanced at me

"Uhm, well we don't really talk to anyone. We don't get attached. It becomes dull. I'm glad we met, because we would have just passed through and never found Jasp. I miss being able to stay in one place and have friends." I admitted

He leaned over and hugged me, he rested his head on mine and breathed deeply. He then moved so he could rest his head on my shoulder.

"Why don't you stay?" he breathed in my ear. I shuddered and felt my heart beat faster.

"I go where my family goes." I told him "There all I have."

"Stay here with Jasper." He whispered and held me close.

"I can't," I pulled away from him, "I … I would love to, but I … I love all my brothers, but I have to go either the others. I would love to stay with Jasp, buy my brothers need me." I stammered

"What if some one else needs you?" he whispered not looking at me

"What?!" I looked at him confused

"What if Jasper needs you here?"

"Jasper has Alice, he doesn't need me anymore."

"He might. Why don't you and your family stay?"

I don't want to put you or the Cullen's in danger. The Hunters will kill anyone who gets in there way or tries to stop them. Even if they are human." I said, I shivered he wrapped his arm around me again. He was so warm.

"We never wanted this." I whispered, "That morning they delivered Jasper's dog tags with a letter saying it had been on an evacuation route covered in blood. I had been sick, weak, and pale for almost three days. It felt like I was on fire. That night it had all stopped, I was just really thirsty, but late in the evening we where attacked. The town was accusing us of being monsters so we fled into the woods, I was still weak and in pain." I glanced at Seth; he looked like he was in pain now. "We made camp in the early morning. When we woke up we had changed. I was no longer sick, but if I had been they would have suffered with me. It took us three years to stop the transformation for long periods of time and find a new town to stay in. We stayed in the town for six years. I… I… don't know why I'm telling you this." I said as I stood up.

"I don't mind. I think you need to get this out of your system. Have you told anyone this?" He asked pulling me into his lap. He was so warm.

"I had several suetters and eventually a fiancé. Then his family had noticed we where not aging and they where hunter. They tried to kill us. He tried to kill me." I whispered the last part. "We escaped, I was injured but it was nothing serious." I felt anger flow threw my body. It felt like waves crashing on a cliff side angrily and viscously. I looked toward the door and Jasper was standing there, he looked angry, no pissed. He walked over to me and graved my shoulders.

"Who?!" he asked

"What?" I responded

"Who, I could feel your emotions upstairs." Jasper looked in pain.

"I… wait you where eves dropping?" I asked

"NO! I can hear all over the house. I tried not to listen but you where in so much pain I… I can't stand you in pain." At that Jasper just hugged me. "I was sappose to protect you." He sounded like he was in pain, like he would cry, if he could.

"It doesn't matter Jasp." I said, "It's done, I'm over it." I sat down pulling my brother with me.

"I'm your older brother I'm suppose to be there."

I noticed Alice standing next to the bench looking at Jasper with sympathy. The rest of the Cullen's stood by the door just watching.

"Jasper," I pushed him away from me and smiled, "I'm a dragon I'm suppose to do the protecting." I brushed his hair out of his face. "Jasp, I'm no longer in pain from that." I whispered.

I felt Jasper stiffen. He let his emotions go, he felt guilty and angry.

"Jasp it's late I need to sleep." I whispered he let me go I watched every one going inside as we stood up. I turned to Seth. "Thank you for listening Seth." We walked inside Jasper escorted me to my sleeping bag.

"Stay with me tonight. Please. Like when we where growing up." I said as I slipped into my sleeping bag. Jasper then joined me. I soon was back asleep curled up against Jasper.

-- Jasper Point of View --

Alice was having a vision drawing people that I did not recognize. Then I heard Seth and Emmie talking down stairs on the back porch.

"Stay here with Jasper." I heard Seth whisper.

"Jasper this could be bad." Alice said she continued drawing after a minuet I stopped paying attention to Alice. I started to listened to the hum of Emmie's voice, she sounded like she was in a little pain. I started to pay attention to the words.

"I… I… don't know why I'm telling you this." Emmie said I heard movement. She sounded doubtful.

"I don't mind. I think you need to get this out of your system. Have you told anyone this?" Seth asked there was more movement of cloth against cloth. She hesitated and the started to speak.

I stood up and ran down the stairs into the living room and out the back door. I was so angry, it radiated off of me. I should have been there to protect her, I should be able to soother her pain. These thoughts where racing through my mind as I ran toward downstairs. I was outside looking at her for a few seconds before she felt my presents. When she looked at me I grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Who!?" I demanded

"What?" She replied, she looked confused, I felt the rest of my family gather at the door.

"Who, I could feel your emotions upstairs." I explained 'How could I have not looked harder? Why didn't I look sooner?' I thought to myself

"I… wait you where eves dropping?" I asked

"NO! I can hear all over the house. I tried not to listen but you where in so much pain I… I can't stand you in pain." I knelt down and hugged her to me. "I was suppose to protect you." If I could cry I would have. That was my job to be there for her and I failed.

"It doesn't matter Jasp." She said, "It's done, I'm over it." She sat down pulling me with her.

"I'm your older brother I'm suppose to be there."

"Jasper," she pushed him from me and smiled, "I'm a dragon I'm suppose to do the protecting." She brushed some hair out of my face. "Jasp, I'm no longer in pain from that." She finished in a whisper. At that I let my emotions flow out from me. She could fell my anger and guilt.

"Jasp it's late I need to sleep." she whispered I let her go. I felt everyone leave as we stood up. She turned to Seth. "Thank you for listening Seth." We walked inside I escorted her to her sleeping bag.

"Stay with me tonight. Please. Like when we where growing up." She said as she slipped into her sleeping bag. I followed. Soon she was asleep curled up against me. I just watched her sleep for about an hour, I understood how Edward could do it, and then it started. Her emotions changed, she was confused, her face scrunched up a little, and she shifted herself.

"No." she mumbled firmly in her sleep. "Why?" she was confused then scared. Her breathing became short and her heart rate increased. She started to twist and pull away from me. I held her a little tighter. Soon her emotions changed from confusion to fear.

"Dad, John." She whispered franticly. She started to thrash. As she struggled I held her tighter. I was holding her to try and stop her from hurting herself. She was panicking.

"No, Drew." She was panicked, she was so scared and she started to thrash again.

"Emmie it's me." I whispered to her, "Wake up it's a dream." I shook her. "It's just a dream."

I heard our brother starting to wake. Then they gathered around us as I held her. I looked at them I must have looked scared or worried, because Alex whispered; "She has to wake up on her own Jasp. There is no way to wake her from this nightmare."

He was scared, he felt helpless. We all did, we could not help her. She thrashed again. I noticed Carlisle, Edward, Bella, Esme, Alice, and Dad standing on the stairs watching us. Rosalie and Emmett where standing in the overlook. Seth was still standing by the door. He had not moved since we had come inside.

"She'll get through this Jasp, she always does." Dad told me

"Drew," she whispered almost pleaded, she was begging.

I did not know why or for what. I tried to calm her down but nothing was working. Edward and my brothers flinched. Then she tried to jerk strait up, she was shaking and panting.

"It's over Emmie, its over." Alex said kneeling in front of us. I sat up and wrapped my arms around her again. She jumped and looked at me. She was scared. What ever her dream was it scared her to tears. She turned in my arms and cried burrowing her head in my chest. She just shook. No one said a word; she slowly stopped around an hour or so later. Light was just starting to touch the horizon; Alex leaned forward and brushed her hair away from her face. She was asleep. I looked at him.

"What was that?" I asked

"About eight years after we changed we had started a new life and for about a year she had sutters. She finally agreed to one. His name was Drew Smith. He was a good boy, but his family was odd. They where going to be married in a month and his family came over to us Drew already knew. He was revolted, and then they attacked us." Alex explained. He breathed deeply. "Emmie tried to reason with him. But he just attacked her. We ran, but Emmie, she was hurt, emotionally. She really loved him. She does not trust as easily anymore though."

I was confused, she did not seem different. She still seemed care free, kind, not hurt or betrayed. She was more of an actress than I thought. Seth's idea rang in my head. She must stay! I must protect her! I cradled her in my arms as she slept. I decided to meditate until she woke up.

-- Emmiline Point of View --

I was back at one of out houses cooking dinner. The boys just returned from work when there was a knock at the door. I walked into the front room and answered it. It was the Smiths.

"Hello, can I help ya'll?" I asked

"We need to talk to your family." Mr. Smith said

"Okay, come in," I motioned to the living room "I'll get them."

Soon we where all sitting down.

"We know what you are Whitlock. Your daughter will not marry our son!" Mr. Smith said. He then explained about dragons and The Hunters. That Drew walked in and all hell broke loss. Somehow I was in my room with Drew.

"You where a dragon and never told me." Drew said "You lied to me!"

"No! Drew, I would never hurt you." I pleaded with him

I pushed him away he landed on the bed. I knelt down next to him on the bed.

"No." I whispered

"You lied to me so you could use me! Once you where done with me where you going to throw me away?" he yelled

"No Drew, I love you." I whispered he then glared at me.

"Dad, John!" I yelled "You're hurting me." I whispered

"What would you do? Would you eat me?" he yelled

"No! Drew, I would never hurt you." I whispered, he slapped me and shook me. I struggled against him.

"Liar, you would kill me than leave me and never look back." He yelled at me and slapped me again. I pushed him away, he landed on the bed. I knelt down next to him.

"Drew please! I'll tell you everything. You can forget this and we can be together." I begged, he sat up and drew a knife.

"I'm sorry Emmiline I love you, but I have to protect my family." I ran from him.

Then I woke up. I couldn't get enough air and I was shaking. Alex knelt down in front of me. I looked at him. He put his hand on my shoulder. "It's over Em, its over." I felt arms rap around me. I jumped and turned to look at the person. It was Jasper I turned into him and cried. I don't know how long I cried but soon I was shrouded in darkness again.

Sorry I have not been able to have this chapter ready but I can only use school computers. That's from 8 to 3 so I'm sorry I can not post this faster. I hope everyone likes this.
