Guest: I haven't graduated high school yet so I'm sorry that I got that all the college stuff wrong. And I was wrong with the 42 hours because I was looking it up on google maps and forgot that it was walking not by car. So sorry for all the confusion.
Chapter 29
Kai's point of view
All that day I stayed in my staring up at the ceiling thinking about Embry. I cried until I had no more tears. Everyone left me alone, thankfully, though they did bring me food every once in awhile. I didn't sleep a wink that night and in the morning I felt awful. I still do and it's six at night now. Aunt Sue comes through the door with a plate of food. I see tears on her cheeks and sit up worried.
"What's wrong auntie?" I ask.
"Oh it's nothing dear." she says."How are you feeling?" she asks.
"I guess a little better." I say. "Where's Seth and Leah? I haven't seen them all day." I ask.
"Oh they're around." she says but I know she's lying.
"Auntie." I say.
"They...they left." she stutters as more tears fall down her cheeks.
"What? Left? Where?" I ask as she sits down next to me.
"They left the pack with Jacob." she says.
"Why?" I ask.
"So they could protect Bella's baby." she says.
"WHAT!?" I ask shocked. "Bella's pregnant? Why would they help them? Why would Leah go? How is that even possible for Bella to have a kid?" I ask.
"Yes Bella's pregnant with a baby or something. We don't know if it's human. Leah left because of Sam and Seth doesn't think they should kill Bella and the baby." she says.
"Oh my gosh." I say shocked.
"They aren't coming back for awhile." she says. "And the pack has to fight them." she says and my eyes widen.
"What?" I ask.
"They're helping the Cullen's and when the pack goes to kill the baby and Bella they'll stand with the Cullen's." she says.
"Oh God!" I say.
"Don't worry dear. They'll be fine." she assures me, well more like assures herself. She leaves and heads back downstairs. Bella's pregnant. Didn't see that one coming. I should have known she'd cause more problems though. Is Sam right? Is this 'baby' a danger to the people of La Push? Is it even a baby? Will Leah and Seth get hurt? Will Embry hurt them? What does Embry think about all this? It's just a baby, even if it's a vampire baby. And if it's a danger the Cullen's wouldn't let it harm our people, they're too nice, well some of them are. Sam wouldn't kill an innocent baby, would he? Would Embry? I sigh and get up. I get dressed in some clean clothes and head downstairs. Emma's asleep on the couch with the TV on since Brady's on patrol. Dad's still at work and aunt Sue left. I leave a note near Emma and head outside to my car. I have someone I need to speak with.
I pull up at Sam and Emily's hoping Embry's here. I walk up to the house and wonder if I'm welcomed here anymore. Should I knock or just go in? I chose the second choice and walk in. Everyone's eyes land on me and I keep a set face.
"Where's Embry?" I ask.
"He's at the beach." Paul says.
"Thanks." I say and head to leave.
"Wait Kai!" Emily yells and walks over to me She hugs me tight and I hug her back. "I'm sorry for everything that's going on but congrats on getting accepted into UW and ASU." she says.
"Thanks Em." I say and she nods. She lets go of me and I head outside. I walk down the trail through the forest and to the beach. I find him attempting to skip rocks but failing. His head snaps up to me and his eyes soften.
"Hey." I say.
"Hi." he says looking back at the ocean.
"I heard about Bella." I say and he stiffens.
"I can't believe they left." he says. "They're traders now." he says.
"No they're not." I defend and he looks over at me.
"They chose the bloodsuckers over us! Over family!" he yells.
"They're fighting in something they believe in." I say.
"They're fighting for a leech's baby! No it's not even a baby!" he yells.
"You don't know that Embry! It could be a harmless human baby!" I yell back.
"It's not! It's killing Bella, Jake said." he says.
"Well maybe Jake's wrong. He's not a doctor." I point out.
"You're not a doctor Kai." he also points out and I glare at him.
"No I'm not." I say. "Will you hurt them?" I ask.
"What?" he asks.
"When you go to kill the baby will you kill my cousins and your best friend?" I ask.
"If Sam commands us." he says and my mouth drops.
"I don't even know you anymore." I say as a tear falls.
"Things are changing Kai so therefore I have to change." he says.
"No you don't." I say.
"You don't know what's going on Kai." he says.
"Yes I do. You're going to kill an innocent baby and my cousins!" I yell as tears fall.
"I won't kill Seth and Leah if they come back." he says.
"Well they won't. They know what's right Embry and are going to fight for it. I would if I was one of you. I would have left Sam the second I knew his plan." I say.
"Kai this thing is deadly. It'll kill us all!" he yells.
"What if our baby was deadly Embry?" I ask.
"What? You're pregnant! How is that possible? We haven't..." he stutters.
"No I'm not pregnant you idiot!" I yell and he sighs. "If we did have a baby it'll be part werewolf. It could kill me." I point out.
"The baby won't be a werewolf when it's first born." he says.
"You don't know that." I say.
"It hasn't happened." he says.
"And it's the same thing with Bella's baby." I say. "You're going to kill an innocent baby." I say.
"I HAVE TO!" he yells and I flinch. "It's my duty to protect my people, you." he says.
"You don't have to protect me anymore Embry. You don't have to do anything for me anymore. We're done, for good." I say and turn around for Emily's to get my car. Tears fall down my face and whats left of my heart breaks. Embry doesn't come after me and that causes more tears. He really doesn't love me.
Embry's point of view
(inner wolf thoughts)
I was planning on apologizing to Kai when I saw her at the beach but she just argued with me and left before I could do anything. She doesn't understand what's happening. She doesn't understand that this 'baby' could harm her, harm her family. She doesn't even care that I could get hurt when we go after it. Some imprint she is. Maybe her leaving will do us both some good.
No it won't
My inner wolf is dying because I won't apologize to Kai and go back to her. But she left me not the other way around. She's leaving me and doesn't care how much it's hurting me. Or how much it'll hurt her. My inner wolf howls at that thought. It doesn't want her to feel any pain but it's her choice to leave and apparently I have no say in it. Well whatever. I don't need her anymore.
That's a total lie and you know it
I know I do.
