Chapter 30: What happened in Argentina.

Embry's POV.

I was exhausted. The second my ass found my seat in the airplane, I was dead. Neither Quil nor I were up for conversation. Silver getting kidnapped was the worst thing that had ever happened to me.

Right after leaving my imprint high and dry after our first night of consummating our love, I headed to the Cullen's place where they had confirmed that Silver had been kidnapped by Nahuel, or, who I'd like to call dick head.

Apparently, the a-hole was totally in love with Silver. So in love with her that he roofied her drink. Sick bastard. He then dragged her across the freaking continent and promised to change her into a blood sucker. I had no idea how Silver managed to stay human for so long but she was very brave.

Everything I knew, I learned from Jacob. Quil and I were off in Asia, searching far and wide for Silver. The Cullen's were scattered around the atlas; some in Europe, some in Africa. Jeez, were we off. Our Silver was way down south in hot Argentina.

Leah was off in the Caribbean's and the youngest werewolves were searching the States. Seth and Edward found Silver in Argentina and luckily, Jacob and Sam were close by and caught up with them a few hours later.

I wish I could say it all went well, but it didn't.

I was also in my wolf form when Seth picked up Silver's scent. Seth was alone because Edward and he had split up to save more time. We were all nervous as to what we'd find. It had been 2 weeks, we were certain that Silver would be a vampire by now.

As Seth sped through the woods, we were able to hear Nahuel speaking and we all—me, Quil, Leah, Jacob—growled in harmony. Seth just listened closely. It sounded like Nahuel was trying to scare Silver to death. He kept asking her; Are you sure? Are you positive? And Silver would reply with wordless refusals. And then she screamed.

We all panicked and Seth rushed past the bushes. He found a small house. Silver's scent was extremely strong so he did not hesitate to break the door down.

The scene he had walked in was horrifying. Nahuel held Silver in some kind of embrace and his mouth was going for her throat, so we told Seth to the most logical thing; kill him.

Silver completely freaked out and held Nahuel's bloody, tattered body until he took his last breath and died. She hadn't even glanced in Seth's direction. She had shooed him away like an unwanted dog. It was all very confusing. Silver listened carefully to her kidnapper's final words and told him she loved him countless amount of times before he couldn't hear her anymore. She even kissed him—her lips were trickled with his blood. She promised him she would fix him and they'd be okay. The scene was shocking and heartbreaking.

The white dress she wore was absorbing the large puddle of blood around them but she didn't seem to notice as she wept.

Seth had phased back, so whatever happened after that was kind of a mystery.

Jacob told me that when he got to the house in Argentina, Silver was passed out and Edward was cleaning up the blood and had already disposed of the body. They injected Silver with some morphine so she wouldn't wake up to the bloody apartment.

Seth gave her a bath while she was still out of it. Blood had been splattered on her face and body during the fight. None of the blood was hers. We were all surprised to see how much blood there was in a half vampire. The second Seth had sunk his teeth in Nahuel, he started to bleed like crazy.

Silver was passed out for a really long time and Seth was very worried. Silver had her own room with a huge closet full of clothes and a giant bed with white sheets. He put her down in that bed and watched her sleep for several hours.

Sam and Jacob were both worried as well but were forced out of the room when Silver woke up. They hadn't seen each other in weeks and their hormones were too strong to keep their hands off each other.

Silver must have thought she was dreaming because she flipped out when she realised Seth was real. She immediately started asking where Nahuel was and all the guys were speechless. Silver cried when they told him he was dead. She didn't believe them at first but later, she did.

She was in love with him apparently. She was actually happy with him in the middle of the forest. Edward said that Nahuel and she were supposed to have an actual future together. They were planning on having a baby and changing Silver. Originally, it was just a plot to give Seth more time to find her.

When we were searching for her, Seth kept worrying; as a vampire, would she still love me? Would she remember me? Little did he know was that Silver was thinking the complete opposite; As a vampire, would Seth still love me? Would he still want me if I was made of stone? Of course he would have.

Anyway, Silver then remembered the whole murder scene and asked who had killed her "mate".

Seth stammered and stuttered. Jacob felt so bad for the situation Seth had put himself in and we all—me included—kind of killed Nahuel. We didn't exactly tell Seth to stop. I told him to break his legs. We were all kind of responsible. So Jacob took the fall for Seth.

Silver was pissed with Jacob now.

I was just glad this whole thing was over. Now I got to go home and take a twenty hour nap then see my girlfriend whom I had missed immensely. I couldn't wait to see her and talk to her and hold her in my arms.

The flight seemed to last forever but 24 hours and three planes later; I was back home. Jet lag was going to be a bitch. I hoped it wouldn't be that bad since I hadn't really slept.

It was really early when I got home. I was half asleep when I set foot in my house. I went in the kitchen to get myself a glass of water.

"I'm getting too old for this." said someone else.

My mom had startled me and half my water was now on the front of my shirt. I sighed, "Hey mom, shouldn't you be asleep?"

She was in a robe and leaning against the wall. She was half asleep as well, "I thought you might be a burglar."

"Shouldn't you have taken a weapon or something?"

She shrugged, "I figured there was a fifty-fifty chance that it might be you. I was right."

I continued drinking water and actually started fantasising about sleeping. I imagined myself stripping and falling into my bed. I hadn't slept in an actual bed since I had left. It would feel like heaven.

"So, are you going to tell me where you were or is it a secret like when you were in your half-naked stage?" My mother asked.

I rolled my eyes. She always called the stage of my life when I just became a werewolf my half-naked stage since I was always wearing pants, shoes and nothing else. "Well, Seth's girlfriend was sort of kidnapped so the guys and I went looking for her."

"I know she was kidnapped." My mom rolled her eyes, "I don't live under a rock. So what? Did you guys just wander the country half-naked looking under every stone?" she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

I shrugged, "Sort of." I finished my water and walked to my bedroom. Everything was the way I had left it…except the bed was made and it was actually kind of clean in here. I sighed. I knew Laurence wouldn't be here when I came back but part of me hoped she would be.

My disappointment didn't stop me from enjoying my rest. I probably slept for a whole day. Once I woke up, I felt amazing. The first things I did was got dressed, ate a gigantic breakfast then headed off to California.

It was always faster to go in wolf form and I wanted to see her very badly. So I put a nice out fit in a backpack and headed for California as a wolf. I got dressed in the woods and strode out into the afternoon daylight.

I figured Laurence was working today so I just went to Kay's jewellery.

I was right. She was behind the counter, organizing some bracelets. When I came in and the door made a ding sound to warn her of my presence, she looked up. Her eyes widened and she was relieved to see me after all these days of separation.

Laurence frowned and continued organizing the jewellery.

"Hey, Laue." I grinned and approached her counter.

She scoffed.

"What wrong, sweetheart?"

She glared at me, "Are you really asking me what's wrong? Like you don't know." She waited for me to reply but I had nothing to say. I thought she'd be happier to see me, like she was five seconds ago. "You think you could just disappear for a month and come back then everything will be handy dandy?" she demanded.

"I've been gone two weeks." I muttered.

"I can't believe you, Embry Call! I thought you'd be gone a few hours and then I don't see you for 15 days! You fucking ass hole."

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

She looked away shaking her head and taking deep breaths.

I reached over the counter and caressed her face. My heart swelled with adoration. "I never meant to hurt you. I wanted to call, but I couldn't. I'm sorry. Please forgive me and I promise to never hurt you again."

"Are you over your ex?" she randomly asked, taking me completely off guard.

I pulled my hand away and stared at her in shock. Was she really asking me this? "Where'd this come from?"

"I've never asked you that before and while you were gone, I got to thinking and some of my friends…"

I rolled my eyes, "And you're listening to them?"

"I don't know."

I sighed, "Laurence, you know you could trust me."

She watched me suspiciously, "I didn't say that I didn't trust you. I asked if you were over your ex. Amber, was it?"

My mouth went all dry. I never considered discussing Amber with Laurence. I was actually planning on suffering in silence until it all faded away and it had. I missed her sometimes but I didn't want to be with her, at least, not like before. I hated that Laurence was interrogating me about something so ancient. Amber was part of my past. It seemed like it had been an eternity since we were Amber and Embry.

Laurence sighed, "You're not answering me and you're staring at me with that dumb look on your face. Not helping. You're still in love with her—imprint or no imprint."

"I'm not in love with my—Amber. I'm in love with you! Why are we fighting over this?"

"We're not fighting. We're discussing. I just want you to be happy and we should talk about this." She chewed on her lip, "Janet!" she called.

"What?" shouted Janet from the other room.

"I'm taking my break."

"Whatever!"

Laurence took her break and dragged me to the empty park and we sat on the grass. She looked at the sunset for a while and continued, "Why did you guys break up, anyways?"

I looked at her. I couldn't believe she was asking me this. "You told me to."

She gasped, "Oh. I remember." She nodded, "You were in love with her, right?"

"I was."

"That ruby bracelet that you bought the day we met, what are you going to do with it?"

I was frustrated with the conversation and I begged her to stop with my eyes but she just stared back apologetically.

"You still look at it sometimes, I see you. You're still thinking about it." She paused so I would say something but I didn't know how to reply to that. I hadn't looked at the bracelet that much. I just glanced at it every now and then to see if it was still there. "You should just give it to her. It's hers."

"Do you forgive me for leaving or not?" I asked a bit harsher than I wanted but, for the first time, Laurence was annoying me.

"Oh, Embry," she caressed my face, sending my heart on a rampage, "I was never mad…per say. I was worried and kind of pissed…On second thought; I was mad. But the second I saw you, I wasn't mad anymore. I just wanted to make you feel as bad as me, I guess. I'm sorry."

"God, I love you." I kissed her.

"Oh! And could I just say that your apology was so cute, I almost died and I'm crazy in love with you right now."

"Let's never not see each other ever again."

"Agreed." She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I was officially complete. The last two weeks of hell were gone and over and I would never think back at them. As far as I was concerned, I'd never been to Asia.

A/N: Anyone else bored of Embry? We're going to spend more with Amber before I end it.
