Chapter 15
Kai's point of view
*beginning of Eclipse now*
It's been a month since Embry and I got back together and everything is going great. We had uncle Harry's funeral which was sad but I'm glad it's out of the way now. Emma and I are back to being sisters again and I tell her all about Embry and I, except about the secret. Aunt Sue, Seth and Leah are getting better but are still sad. Dad and I don't talk anymore because I'm still mad at him for lying to me. I know he wanted to keep me safe but he wanted to keep me and Embry away from each other and that's not okay. He and Embry's mom still don't know about our relationship and I want to keep it that way. School's almost out and I'm so happy that I finally get to relax. I keep my distance from the Cullen's because even though they're not the red-eyed vampires, they could still hurt me. I've become close with Sam and Emily again and spend a lot of my time at their house. I've become closer with all the pack members and other imprints too. We're all a big happy supernatural family. There's been a lot of killings in Seattle and dad's been working a lot. He comes home late at night and looks exhausted. I feel bad for him but know he's just doing his job.
It's now June seventh one week before school ends. Today I'm wearing skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, a striped hoodie, gray vans, pearl earrings, a seahorse necklace, a golden ring with an anchor, and my charm bracelet. I pull up to school and park near the front. I start walking but then see someone familiar.
"Jake?" I ask shocked he's here. His head turns to me and a faint smile appears.
"Hey Kai," he says.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I have some business I need to discuss with someone," he says.
"What happened?" I ask.
"Can't say," he says.
"Jake," I whine.
"It's Embry who asked me not to say," he defends.
"Jake just tell me," I say.
"I really shouldn't," he says.
"Ugh," I groan. I see a black Volvo appear and get the chills knowing who it is.
"You should get to class," he says and I nod.
"Be good," I say to him.
"Yes mother," he says and I chuckle. I head into school and to my locker. All during school I wonder what Embry doesn't want me to know. What could be so scary to keep it away from me?
School's out and I'm heading to Emily's now hoping Embry will be there so I can talk to him. When I pull up I see Embry's truck here.
"Honey I'm home," I say as I enter the house. I see Emily, Quil, Seth, and Embry all sitting at the dining table.
"Hey baby," Embry says. I look at him then sit next to Emily which makes him frown.
"How are you today Kai?" Emily asks.
"Fine, how are you?" I ask.
"Good," she says.
"You'll never guess what happened at school today," I say.
"What?" Embry asks.
"Oh wait I can't say, it's too scary," I say looking directly at Embry.
"What?" Embry asks confused.
"Never mind, forget I said anything," I say.
"Kai," Embry says.
"Yes Embry darling?" I ask batting my eyelashes.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"Oh nothing, my boyfriend just isn't telling me what's happening at work," I say.
"Kai," he sighs.
"I'm going out for some air," I say and head out the back door. I hear Embry follow me and I sit on the porch steps.
"Embry what's happening?" I ask as he sits next to me.
"I don't want you to worry," he says.
"Embry," I say sternly.
"The red headed leech is back," he says and my eyes widen.
"What?" I ask.
"She came around last night," he says.
"Did anyone get hurt?" I ask.
"No but one of the Cullen's came on our land so Paul attacked him," he says.
"Did Paul kill him?" I ask.
"No just pushed him into the river," he says.
"Oh," I say.
"Please don't be scared or worried," he says pulling me into his warm arms.
"I'm not with you here," I say. He kisses my head and we stay like that until Jared, Paul and Sam come home. Sam heads inside while Jared and Paul stay with us.
"What's up lovebirds?" Paul asks.
"Nothing hothead," I say.
"Watch it sweetheart," he says and Embry growls holding me closer. I rub his back and he calms down.
"Good boy," I say and kiss his cheek while Paul and Jared chuckle.
"Does Embry need a treat?" Jared asks and Paul laughs. Embry glares at them and I roll my eyes.
"There's food inside," I say and they light up. They race inside and I smile.
"Emily didn't make food," Embry says.
"I know," I say.
"KAI!" I hear Jared and Paul yell.
"I should get going," I say standing up. We walk over to my car and I open my door.
"I'd come with you but I have patrol," he says and I frown.
"But don't you have it in the mornings?" I ask.
"We're doubling up patrols because of the leech," he says and I nod in understanding.
"Okay, well come over tonight," I say.
"Of course," he says and kisses me lightly. I pull back and get in the car.
When I arrive at the house I find Emma and Brady there. I get out of the car and walk over to them.
"I'll see ya later Emma," Brady says.
"Okay bye," she says and he heads down the street. I look to my sister and she blushes slightly.
"You so have a crush on him," I say and she hits my shoulder lightly.
"Shut up," she mumbles and I open the door. We get to work on our homework and then I start dinner.
Around six Embry comes over for dinner. He's been joining us for dinner for a week now because dad's always gone. It's nice to have him over, he and Emma get along great too.
"Embry are you going to come to my game this Saturday, it's the last one of the season?" Emma asks.
"Of course," he says and Emma and I smile. He acts like a big brother/dad to Emma, I think it's cute.
"Great," she says.
"Kai is dad working on Saturday?" she asks and I freeze.
"Um I don't know, but I'm sure he'll be at the game," I say and she nods her head.
"Well I should get going but see you girls tomorrow," Embry says standing up. I follow him outside and to the edge of the forest.
"I'll see you in a little," Embry says kissing my head.
"Kay, be safe in there," I say referring to the forest where the red-headed leech has been.
"Always," he says and kisses me lightly. He goes into the forest and I head back inside to do the dishes.
