Chapter 5: Rescued.
Veronica's POV
I looked at the two beautiful young men and smiled feebly. It was completely amazing that they were named Embry and Seth, then I looked around the small room. There were pictures of friends, I supposed, all tall and dark. There were native carvings here and there.
I sat up a little straighter and felt warm bare skin against my shoulder, where my cap sleeve had slipped down my arm. My body went in to instant ecstasy. I could feel Seth's heart beat getting faster, like mine was. I looked over my shoulder as he looked down and I caught my bottom lip as I saw his bright smile and love filled eyes. I so wanted to kiss him, I wasn't terribly experienced, but I wasn't a complete novice when it came to kissing. I had never gone all the way, but I had kissed. Although I knew that kissing Seth would be amazing.
I felt a hand on my ankle and looked at the foot of the bed, there smiling at me was Embry. My breath caught in my throat at the smile and his loving yet lustful gaze. All I could do was giggle and I knew I had just blushed the deepest red ever. He smiled wider and chuckled, as did Seth.
Just as I was about to say something to them, I heard more voices and one was that of a woman. The man from earlier came in and moved aside as a beautiful woman walked in with three parallel scars running down the side of her face. I looked at her wide-eyed then understanding and recognition set in, but it was just to much.
"Emily." I stated then all went black once again.
Embry's POV
I looked in to Veronica's beautiful eyes and I saw love and wanting. Just as I was about to reach for her hand Sam and Emily walked in. Veronica saw Sam then when Emily came into her line of sight her eyes got big with recognition, she smiled and then called Emily's name. Then Veronica was out again, against Seth's chest once again. I really needed to trade him places. I was still on the end of the dangerous part, I chuckled and touched my jaw.
Sam looked at Seth and I, then at Veronica. I felt like we were about to learn just how angry Sam could get.
"What did you two do this time?" He ranted at us.
"Erm, well I, I mean we just imprinted on her." I stated.
"What! You can't both imprint on the same person!" Sam raged.
"Why not?" Emily asked as she touched Sam's shoulder and pushed him out of her way. "I've never heard of it, but we haven't been told it can't happen either. Look at them, Sam. They're nearly docile with one another. All they care about is this young woman." Emily looked at Sam and smiled, he touched her face then nodded.
"She seemed to have recognized you." Sam stated finally cooling down.
"Yes, how strange. I don't remember ever meeting her before." Emily looked at the girl trying to remember.
"What we need to do is find out how much she knows about us, is she friends of the Cullens?" Sam wondered out loud.
"Really Sam, you have such a one tract mind." Jacob Black stated as he walked in and looked at his old room. Seth smiled as he walked in and noticed Carlisle was behind him.
"No she isn't one of ours." Carlisle smiled and moved closer to my woman. I couldn't help it I let out a growl. Jake lifted me and between he and Sam, I was forcefully removed from the tiny bedroom. Seth was allowed to stay, lucky little shit. Seth was totally trusting of the leeches, as was Jake.
Seth's POV
She looked at me and I felt kind of strange, I didn't know what my body was thinking, but when I saw her bite on her bottom lip, I knew I wanted to kiss her. She was just so gorgeous.
Embry, damn him, he had to tap her ankle with his hand, drawing her attention to his lust filled gaze. For a second I wanted to decapitate him, that would wipe that smirk off his face, but that would also hurt Veronica, and I would not doing anything to cause her pain.
When Sam and Emily walked in and Veronica knew Emily, then passed against my chest again, I was beginning to worry. The girl fainted a lot. I hoped she hadn't hit her head or anything like that. Then I heard Jake and saw him walking up behind Sam followed by Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Jake shook my hand, then Carlisle began to get closer to Veronica to check on her. Embry started to growl, it took both Jake and Sam to haul him out of the room. What an idiot! Carlisle was a doctor and a friend of all of us, although many of the pack still couldn't stand to be around the Cullens. They never bothered me or Jake. Jake mostly because of his love for Bella and his imprint on Renesmee, Bella and Edward's daughter. I felt that Nessie was born to bring our families together.
Carlisle took a little flashlight out of his shirt pocket, then lifted one of Veronica's eyelids, checking her eye then checking the other. He took her pulse, felt her head and stomach, arms and legs. Then he smiled and lifted the amulet that was resting on her chest.
"Well, I think that our little friend here has just been through a little bit more excitement then she had expected." Carlisle stated then shifted his gaze back to the pendant.
"You see that amulet," He asked me, I nodded my head. "I saw one, once in the 1600s and again in the 1800s, it's a key to a transdimensional gateway. I don't think Sam will need to worry about your house guest. She probably knows more about us then we know about ourselves." Carlisle stated then reached into his jacket pocket and took out a tiny vial that contained yellow liquid and a cotton top. "You'll won't want to breath this in, Emily please step back." He stepped forward, stopped breathing and crushed the little vial then waved it under Veronica's nose. She shook her head and wiped at her nose. I had my mouth and nose covered and I could still smell the horrible acidy order.
"What was that?" I asked as he put it back in his pocket.
"An ammonia inhalant, it revives humans that have fainted." Carlisle explained.
"Well it singed my nose hairs." I stated rubbing my nose.
"That is why I warned you." Carlisle stated then looked back at his patient. "Hello, I know how you got here, don't be frightened." Carlisle spoke soothingly to Veronica. I figured he was using some of his vampire skills to hypnotize her or some such thing.
"It's just so much to take in. Oh and thank you Dr. Cullen." Veronica stated then looked back up at me. This time I couldn't resist the pull and my lips claimed hers. The kiss was sweet, but I felt my body react to hers in ways I had only witnessed in the memories of my pack brothers. Carlisle smiled at us and left the room, he and Jake left together, no doubt returning to his Nessie. As our kiss ended I felt at peace with her in my arms.
Embry returned to the room and looked at Veronica with a sad, chastised look in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want anyone near you." Embry stated then bent and kissed her on the forehead. He went to the back of the bed and sat near her hip and took her hand in his stroking it gently. Their fingers slowly entwined.
