Chapter 6: Alternatives
Veronica's POV
I couldn't believe it, I had been sent into an alternative dimension or something like that, but wow, what an entirely awesome dimension. Right smack in the middle of my favorite Saga. Although it seemed like it was a couple of years after Breaking Dawn. I looked up and smiled at Carlisle, then thanked him.
After which I looked back at Seth and our eyes met and his lips sought mine, it was a sweet inexperienced, but perfect kiss. After we parted Embry walked back in the room and looked at me as if he had been a bad puppy who had been caught chewing on a pair of expensive shoes. He apologized, then walked to the back side of the bed and sat next to my hip and took my hand in his. Our fingers played with each others, the feeling was sweet and slightly sensual.
The three of us sat there for a while in silence and yet we were completely happy, but I had to break the silence. I had to tell them something about myself.
"I feel, I need to explain who I am and where I came from." I stated, knowing I would leave some of my knowledge out. Seth and Embry waited then I took a deep breath and started.
"First, I am not from your world, I am from a parallel dimension, that my amulet has the power of crossing. It is important that I was brought here, not only because of the imprinting, but also because I never really belonged in my world. Even my parents hadn't wanted me. They gave me to my Great Aunt Hazel when I was four years old. I haven't seen them or my little sister in over eleven years." I looked at them and they looked at me with sad expressions on there faces, I hadn't noticed but Sam and Emily had entered the room and were listening as well.
"You see I didn't fit the perfect profile of their family. I wasn't blonde, didn't have blue eyes and I couldn't tan. I never have been able to. I can get sun burned, but never tanned. They wanted a family that would help them excel in society and I didn't look like a belonged. Yet I wouldn't change a thing, my Aunt Hazel is my best friend and my parent. She will be showing up here, no doubt. Although I have no idea when that might be." I explained looking at each one of them.
"Does what I've said change any of your feelings for me? I asked looking at Seth and Embry.
"No, I will always be yours." Seth stated and kissed my lips sweetly. I looked over at Embry.
"Nothing you could do or say could make me change my feelings for you." Embry stated and kissed my palm.
"Sam, if there's anything you want to know, you only need to ask me, I'll tell you all I know to tell." I stated and Sam nodded.
"Thank you, that is fair." He stated, "I can see, that you need to rest. Thank you for being open with us."
He seemed to have relaxed, yet his brow was still furled. I understood this, I was just as confused.
"We need to get back to the little ones, Leah is sitting with them, right now." Emily stated and kissed my forehead as she walked into the living room.
"I take it, I'm in Jacob's room?" I asked.
"Yeah, Billy stays with Rachel and Paul now that they have little Billy. Billy loves being a grandpa. Embry and I live here now, it keeps us close to the forest and the beach.
"So where do you think I should stay?" I asked them.
"Here, Embry has Billy's room, I use this one, but I will sleep on the couch. It will be cozy." Seth stated.
"Do you think that's wise?" Sam asked from the living room, I smiled they sure had good hearing.
"Why not?" Embry asked in return.
"Well, she's your imprint and the three of you alone in the house, secluded." Sam said as he gestured about the house.
"Are you blushing, Sam?" Emily asked and began giggling.
"No, I am not. I mean just be responsible young adults." Sam stated in a flustered tone.
"Okay Dad." Embry said rolling his eyes. Emily continued giggling and took Sam's hand and led him out of the house. They soon heard a car drive away. We burst out laughing.
"I really don't want to make anyone uncomfortable." I stated after we stopped laughing.
"You won't, the couch is really comfy, plus we can sleep anywhere." Seth stated pointing to him and Embry.
"So what should we do first?" Embry asked, the words dripping with innuendos.
"Well it would be great to have a shower and maybe some food." Embry rose and smiled.
"I'll help you with the shower, Seth can make dinner." Embry smiled and Seth's mouth fell open.
"How about you help me to the bathroom and I'll take it from there." I stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Yeah, that could work too." Embry said and burst out laughing, Seth finally started to breath again. Embry walked over and lifted me into his arms as if I didn't weigh a thing, then carried me out of the room and to a nearby door.
"You can put me down now." I stated, but he just looked at me, then growled low in his throat, it was all it took, I raised my lips to his and our kiss was full of passion. We kissed with ardor, not wanting it to end. Yet I really needed to shower and I was so hungry. When my stomach growled, Embry looked at me and winked.
"Okay, you win." He sat me on my feet and I entered the bathroom. It was fairly large and not in to bad of shape, for belonging to bachelors. I quickly stripped and wrapped a large towel around me while I started the shower and put my clothes in the washer, that sat in the bathroom and started my wash. The dryer was empty, I was really pleased that the laundry room was also the bathroom. Less to worry about later.
