'Seth?! Put me down… NOW!' I giggled before blushing furiously as my gorgeous wolf pulled me onto his back, spinning around in circles. Quickly he collapsed onto the floor; we both laughed as I tried to stand but returned with a bump to the sand, too dizzy to keep my balance. He laughed at me again before dragging me toward the surf and throwing me, screaming, in. I hit the cool water with a splash. Kicking my legs I resurfaced, loudly cursing him for being strong enough the throw me so far out. Quickly coming closer to shore I stood up, shivering slightly. In almost an instant a pair of warm arms circled my waist, and Seth's chin rested on my head. Kissing his shoulder I spun out of his embrace and splashed through the softly breaking waves to the sand.
Shrieking as I heard him chasing after me, I sprinted up the beach – but I wasn't quick enough yards from our spot he tackled me down. Landing on the sand with an audible thump he rolled off straight away, apologizing. Coughing several times, I forced air into my lungs and sat up smiling. I was used to his wolfy ways by now, we were inseparable.
Looking across First beach I sighed, the summer sun was setting throwing our shadows across the sand. Aside from a few lone surfers that were packing up down the other end, we were alone. Crawling back to our rug and picnic basket, I attempted to dry my sea soaked hair on a beach towel.
Crossing my legs I leant back against Seth as he sat down next to me. He pulled me closer to his chest as he did so.
'I love you Clearwater.' I smiled, pressing my cheek against his chest. I glanced up to see his beautiful brown eyes smiling down at me, long lashes grazing his cheeks as he grinned back.
Kissing my forehead, I smiled again – a light blush flooding my cheeks.
'Alora White, I can honestly say that I love you with beep.'
'What?' I said looking up at him.
Beep…
'Alora? Lora?' he said looking around, panicking.
Beep…
'Seth? Seth? This better not be a joke. Where that noise coming from? Can you hear it? Seth stop it, this isn't funny. Seth!'
Beep…
Everything went black, but the beeps continued.
Then I realized where I was.
Beep…
Beep…
Beep…
The low hum of a hospital monitor woke me from my comatose slumber. As my hearing returned the beeps got louder, and I strained my ears to hear other noises, familiar noises.
I could hear quiet murmurs of reassurance, from a deep voice I instantly recognised as my father's.
Quiet sniffles with the occasional sob I guess was my mom, and my sister – which surprised me; Lola was always a strong brave faced kid, always.
I heard the door open with what seemed like a defining screech,
'Carlisle? What is it? Can Alice see anything yet?' a vaguely familiar sounding voice asked, I think it was Sam, or one of the pack – wait, it sounded like Embry.
'No, Alice can not see Alora – her fate is too entwined with the pack. But Edward has said she can hear us.' An authoritive voice replied, which triggered a scraping of chairs and a shriek from my mother.
Edward? Hmm. His name reminded me of my old home. My old boyfriend Ed, which in turn reminded me of my old friends. My old life. It all seemed so long ago now. But I realized that it probably was, how long had I been in that coma. It must have been ages, weeks? months? It could be past christmas by now - I had probably missed my birthday. I wonder if my friends still think about me, if I am completely honest I have not really had time to think about them.
Suddenly, a lock of soft hair – that I knew was golden brown – hit me in the face, as my mother hugged me fiercly before pulling away and whispering.
'Lora? Lorie? Sweetie? Can you hear me, us. Please, please darling, wake up. We all love you to much to lose you.' her voice hoarse from crying.
Yes mom, I can hear you…
Edward...? Edward?
Can you, can you tell her that I love her so much, that I love them all so, so much. That I'm trying to wake up, I am really trying.
Edward repeated my thoughts to my family, which caused a torrent of words and questions barrelling toward me.
I was asked, no begged, again and again over the next week to awake, but I just couldn't.
It was late in the afternoon, or perhaps it was early morning, my body clock was broken so I didn't have a clue.
But that is not important; my family had gone home to get some rest, a bath and a change of clothes – nice.
However something was bugging me, Embry was still here. He had not left since I woke up, for all I know he could have been here since… what happened. I knew he was here, I could now recognise his unique 'scent' and his deep snoring straight away.
As I was thinking this I heard the snores stutter then die away completely, the chair scrape and then pressure against my leg as he sat on the side of my bed.
'Lora?' he asked, I wasn't shocked that he had used my family's nickname for me; he had picked it up a couple of days after my mind woke. Without waiting for a reply he continued;
'I hope your awake, I mean… well y'know. I hope your not sleeping, I really hope your not sleeping because, and well, I got some news.' He said awkwardly, I smiled inwardly at this.
'Its just, well - yeah. This is pretty important. For you. Its about Seth...'
He took a deep breath in and then said something that changed my whole life forever…
Waheyy - hope y'all liked it!
