Chapter 19
Kai's point of view
I stare at the four pairs of blood-red eyes in shock. I should have listened to dad! Why am I so stupid!?
"She'd make a wonderful mate don't you think?" another asks.
"Very beautiful, even prettier with red eyes," another says walking toward me. I start to back away but trip and fall on my butt. I crawl away but end up against a tree.
"Why so afraid young one?" the last one asks.
"Perhaps she knows our little secret," one says.
"Well then we must turn her," the second one says. No I don't want to be a blood sucking vampire!
"This won't hurt a bit," the second one says walking toward me. I stare at him wide-eyed and scared. I don't want to die! Not yet I still have college and I want to get married and have kids! I want to be with Embry forever! I have to see Emma graduate and be her maid of honor at her wedding! When he gets a foot away I know this is the end. Emma, Seth, Leah, aunt Sue, mom, dad, uncle Harry, I love you. And Embry I love you the most and wish I could see you one more time. A tear slides down my scared face as my killer moves forward. A howl breaks through the forest making the vampires hiss and my to open my eyes. Embry! I hear growling and look behind me. I see all of the pack and Embry. We meet eyes and he whimpers. I stand up and go to over to him when cold arms grab hold of me.
"Let me go!" I yell and the vampire laughs in my ear making me shiver.
"Calm down sweetheart," he says and Embry growls. I look up at the pack with tears almost falling. I look toward Embry and he's watching me very closely.
"Embry," I whisper and he whines going to take a step closer.
"One more move and she gets it," my captor says holding me closer to his freezing cold body. Why on earth would Bella love someone this cold!? The pack growls but stays put. A tear falls down my cheek and Embry whines. When the vampire holding me kisses my cheek Embry growls and steps forward. "Bad move!" the vampire says and I feel intense pain surge through my body.
"AW!" I yell out falling to the ground. Everything quickly goes black but I manage to see the pack fighting the four vampires.
Embry's point of view
This past week has been hell! I haven't seen Kai at all and miss her like crazy! Emma's been the only communication we have. I know Emma's hiding something from me and I want to know what it is. I asked her but she just said it was nothing. I hope Kai's okay.
I'm on patrol with Seth and Leah waiting for Jake, Jared, and Sam to come switch with us.
"Have you guys seen Kai at all this week?" I ask.
"Nope," Leah says.
"Her dad has asked us not to visit her," Seth says.
"No be banded us form seeing her," Leah says and I groan. I miss her so much!
"We get it Romeo," Leah groans.
"Sorry for thinking of my house arrested imprint who I can't see for the rest of my life!" I snap.
"Easy tiger," Seth says.
"Sorry," I say. We continue to patrol and I suddenly catch a whiff of the ocean.
"Isn't the ocean miles from you?" Seth asks.
"We have super smell remember?" I ask.
"Still you shouldn't be able to smell the ocean from there," Leah says. What could be the ocean scent then? My eyes suddenly widen when I realize what it is. Kai! I run toward the scent and catch a whiff of multiple vampire scents. I growl and so do Seth and Leah who run to catch up with me. I let out a howl letting the others now that there's trouble.
"What's going on?" Sam asks phasing.
"Where's the fire?" Jared asks phasing too. Everyone phases and I fill them in with what's happening.
"Where is she?" Jake asks.
"Follow me," I say and everyone follows me to a field where Kai is on the ground with four male red-eyed vampires. I growl and her head snaps to us. Her eyes meet mine and I can see the fear in her eyes. I whimper and she stands up to run to me. One of the vampires runs to her and grabs hold of her.
"Let me go!" she yells and the vampire laughs in her ear making her shiver.
"Calm down sweetheart," the vampire says and I growl at him. Kai looks up at us with tears almost falling down her beautiful but scared face. She looks at me and I watch her closely trying to find out if she's in pain.
"Embry," she whispers and I whine taking a step closer to her.
"One more move and she gets it!" the vampire holding her hisses. He holds her tighter against her body and I can see Kai get goosebumps. The pack growls but stays in their spots. A tear falls down Kai's cheek and I whine.
"Easy Embry," Sam warns. The vampire holding her kisses her cheek and I growl threatening. I take a step forward and the vampire smirks.
"Bad move!" he says and squeezes Kai's shoulder. My eyes widen in shock and fear.
"AW!" she yells out falling to the ground. The pack and I growl leaping forward to kill the intruding leeches. I jump on the leech that hurt my imprint and snap at his head. I easily rip apart the leech and find the others burning the three other leeches. I phase back and run over to Kai's unconscious body.
"Is she okay?" I ask Leah who's looking over her.
"I don't know, lets get her to Emily's," she says and I nod. I pick up my imprint and hurry to Emily's.
When we arrived at Emily's she said we should take her to the hospital. So we got in the cars and headed to the hospital in La Push. We got there quickly and got someone to help Kai. They took her into a room to find out if she was okay. We waited and soon chief Clearwater, Sue and Emma arrived.
"What did you do to my daughter!?" chief Clearwater yells getting into my face.
"I didn't do anything," I growl.
"Mark calm down, Embry wouldn't hurt Kai," Sue says pulling him away from me.
"Then what happened?" he asks.
"She was in the forest and got into trouble," I say remembering Emma's here. His eyes widen and I hear his heart beat faster.
"Is she okay?" he asks.
"The doctor is looking over her, I think she has a broken shoulder," I say and he nods.
"What trouble did she get into?" Emma asks.
"She um, I found her in the forest alone," I say and she nods. The door opens from the room they put Kai in. I turn around and face the doctor.
"How is she?" chief Clearwater asks.
"She's still unconscious, and has a broken shoulder," the doctor says.
"Will she be okay?" chief Clearwater asks.
"Yes, but chief are you aware that your daughter has been very ill this week?" he asks and my eyes widen.
"No I had no clue," chief Clearwater says. He looks to Emma and she looks away.
"Emma did you of know this?" her father asks.
"Yes," she mumbles.
"Why didn't you tell me, is that what you were hiding?!" I yell.
"Embry calm down," Sam orders and I do.
"She told me not to tell you because you would get too worried," she says and I sigh.
"Well she has been sick and has lost some blood, is starving herself, and her heart beat is very low," the doctor says and my eyes widen. WHAT!
"How bad is it?" chief Clearwater asks.
"She'll survive as long as her heart beat goes back to normal," the doctor says.
"What if it doesn't?" Emma asks scared.
"We'll do whatever it takes to make sure she's back to normal as soon as possible," the doctor says.
"Thank you doctor," chief Clearwater says and the doctor nods going back into the room where the love of my life is. I can't believe my imprint could die. What kind of soul mate am I?! I promised her I would protect her and look what I did, not protect her! What if Kai dies? I wouldn't go on, I couldn't, I wouldn't!
"Embry calm down," Sam orders. I didn't know my heart beat was speeding up and I was shaking lightly. I stop and take deep breaths.
"I'm sorry daddy," Emma says as tears fall down her face. Her father sighs and opens his arms for her. She runs into them and cries into his chest.
"It's okay Emma," he says rubbing her back.
"I didn't know she was seriously sick," she says.
"I don't want her to die!" she sobs and I feel my heart crack at that sentence.
"She won't," her father says kissing her head. I tune out of everyones conversations and listen to the slow heart beat that belongs to Kai, the love of my life who could die.
