Chapter 13.

Kate's P.O.V

I turned around in my bed and slowly opened my eyes. It was morning, and the bed wasn't empty like it had been when I had gotten home last night, Embry was sleeping next to me, one arm wrapped around me loosely. While I watched his sleeping face I couldn't help but feel tears burn in my eyes. I was going to leave him, again. But this time would be different, I would just be gone when he came home after the vampire fight.

I had found a note in the envelope last night when I had gotten home and it said that I was going to be at the airport tomorrow, and that I wouldn't bring anything, not my cell phone or anything. That's why I had gotten another cell phone, so that Embry wouldn't be able to call me.

I felt sick.

Embry's eyes flickered open and he turned to look at me.

"Hi..." he yawned and I had to try my best to look like everything was fine. "Did you sleep well?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yeah" I mumbled and he kissed my forehead.

"You don't have to worry about tomorrow, everything will be fine." he said, obviously noticing the worry in my eyes. That wasn't what I was worried about though.

"I have to eat some breakfast, see you later" I said and got out of bed.

The rest of the day was like any other day. I hung out with Embry and the rest of the pack at the beach. I was sitting next to Kim on the sand, watching the guys play soccer. Everytime I looked at Embry I felt my heart break over and over again. I turned to look at Kim.

"Hey Kim, can I ask you something?" I said and she looked at me.

"Of course. What is it?" she answered and I glanced at Embry and then looked back at Kim.

"Would you be able to hurt someone you love to keep someone else that you love safe?" I asked and she raised an eyebrow at me.

"Why are you asking me this?" she asked and I shrugged.

"Just asking. Would you?" I asked again and she seemed to think about it for a while.

"Well, better to keep someone safe than someone else happy? I don't know, it's a hard question. I don't know if I would be able to hurt Jared though" she said and I looked down at the sand.

"Yeah, I couldn't hurt Embry either..." I mumbled and glanced at him.

I pressed myself closer to Embry, not wanting to let go.

"Please please... please don't go" I felt tears run down my face and my body was trembling. What if I never got to see him again? "Stay with m-me..." I sniffed as Embry pulled me closer, trying to soothe me.

"I'll be back before you know it, nothing will happen, ok?" he said, but I could hear in his voice that he didn't want to leave. Not because he was scared, but because it was hurting me. He didn't know why it was hurting me so much though.

"I love you... Embry I love you so much..." I said and felt him press his lips against my hair.

"I love you too, Kate. More that you can imagine. I'll be back soon." he said and more tears ran down my face. I knew I had to let him go. I had to keep my parents safe. I knew that the pack would be able to kill the vampire but my parents were in England and the vampire could kill them before they got there.

"Bye Embry" I mumbled when he let me go and watched his pained expression. I just kept hurting him.

"Bye Kate, I'll come here right after the fight ok? You have nothing to worry about." he said and I felt sick to my stomach. I wouldn't be here when he came back. "I love you" he said again and gave me a kiss. Then I watched him leave as more tears streamed down my face.

About forty five minutes after Embry had left I crawled out of my bed and grabbed the envelope with the ticket and the other stuff, put it in a small bag and climbed out the window. No one knew I was leaving, not even my cousins.

I got a ride with a random car that I waved at and she drove me to the airport. I thanked her and gave her some money, then I walked in to the aiport feeling like I was going to fall apart. I had never in my life been so scared, and I felt like I was going to throw up.

A few minutes later I was sitting on the plane, staring out the window, my sight blurry with the tears in my eyes. The phone that I had gotten in the envelope beeped and I looked at it.

Good girl. See you in Germany.
