Chapter 5;
Embry
I was so happy; she agreed to go out with me. Now all I needed was to organize a time to go on our first date. She smiled when I put her down again. I smiled and kissed her quickly on the lips again. She stopped breathing. I pulled away and looked at her she didn't look worried or hurt. Why wasn't she breathing? She opened her eyes slowly and smiled. I waited and she finally breathed. I laughed a little and kissed her again she put her arms around my neck and kissed me back. She parted her lips ever so slightly, her cool breathe on my tongue.
"Embry!" I crushed myself to Iz, not wanting to let her go.
"Embry! Oi i'm talking to you." I reluctantly pulled away and turned around. Paul was walking towards us, an angry look on his face.
"What do you want Paul?" I growled.
"Sam wants to talk to you."
"I'm not bothered."
"You have to, it's a command."
"Damn it." I turned back to Izzy, she had wise eyes. Damn, I didn't want to leave her.
"I have to go baby, did you need a ride home?"
"Yeah that would be good thanks."
"Okay. Paul you got your car?"
"Yeah I suppose why?"
"Cause I need to drop Iz home."
"Oh right." He chucked his keys to me and started walking towards the trees to phase.
"Embry, drop my car at jakes place ok."
"Sure sure." I grabbed Izzy's hand and started walking to Paul's car. When we got there I opened the door for her she climbed in. as soon as I was in the drivers side she turned to face me, a puzzled look on her face. I smiled and started driving.
"You should put your seatbelt on." She complied then continued to stare at me.
"Is there something else you needed?"
"Well… where are you going?"
"To talk to Sam."
"Why?"
"Because I have to."
"You don't have to do anything you don't want to."
"Well I sort of don't have a choice."
"I don't want to go home." She whispered, her eyes glazing over.
"Why not?"
"Cause of mom." She barely got the words out; I put my arm around her shoulders. She sniffed and scooted closer. "Is there anywhere else you wanted to go?"
"Um… could I go see Seth? I haven't seen him since the party."
"Seth is busy sorry."
"Oh well, can you take me to Sara's?"
"Sure, are you going to be alright there?"
"Yeah ill be fine there."
"She won't mind?"
"No she asked me several times to come around, and she told me that she'll be there when I need her."
"Ok well, Paul will be happy that I am not using all his petrol." She laughed and looked down. Oh god, how was I going to be able to leave her, she looked so sad.
"Do you want to hang after I talk to Sam?"
"Sure, sounds great just text me okay?"
"Okay, have fun. And try to be happy." I told her as she got of the car. I saw Sara wave, as she opened the door and ran to hug Izzy. I dropped the car at Jake's like Paul asked and went into the trees to phase. I stripped off my shorts rolled them quickly and tied them around my ankle. I let the heat roll down my back and when I straightened up I had four legs.
Embry?
Yeah it's me.
Took you long enough.
Shut up Jared.
Where's my car?
At jakes jeez I told you I would leave it there
Ugh Embry, why did you do that now he has to come to my house to get it!
Sorry man.
Embry, good, where are you?
I'm about two minutes away from the clearing ill meet you there. I was still thinking of Izzy and how happy I am that she agreed to go out with me.
Congrats man.
Yeah congrats bro. too bad she stinked ae.
Thanks Quil, and she did not stink Jake! She just smelled a little like vampire.
Hahahaha i'm just kidding bro, hey-
Guys can we talk business now. We instantly stopped talking, now that Jake had rejoined Sam's pack we had too, it didn't make sense, but we went with it anyway, now once again Sam could make us do whatever.
Embry shut up
Sorry
Well I got you all here so that I can talk to you about the vampires coming in to town for a few days Sam said as he took the head of the circle. We all growled, well everyone except Jake and Seth.
Guys shut it! We all fell silent the Cullen's told me that there will be five vampires visiting them for about a week.
Who? It was Seth who asked.
The Denali's so 'vegetarian' vamps. They won't be here long, but we still need to run more patrols and have at least two to three people running at a time. Oh and Embry, talk to your imprint about us. The wolves I mean. Just call one of us if you need to convince her that we won't hurt her.
Why would I do that?
Well I assume that one day you will want to tell her about us and vampires. I don't want her to be scared of you when she finds out.
Yeah will do
Good well everyone can go home now, except Jared, Brady and Collin. You guys take the first shift, Seth Jake and I will take over at three, okay?
Sure sure. Echoed around everyone's head. I started running as fast as I could to my mom's place. My phone was there and I needed to text Izzy. I was thinking about how beautiful she looked today. I was also thinking about the look on her face as I kissed her. Hmm I wonder what she would look like if I…
Dude!
Embry!
Hahaha down boy!
Uh…sorry guys.
Ugh i'm scarred for life!
Shut up Seth, just cause you have never had a girlfriend before.
Not fair man!
I got to go before my mind wanders again. Iphased and pulled my shorts on. When I got inside my mom was sitting there, she looked angry.
"Embry, I know that you have grown up now, but how could you ignore me for three weeks and not even call."
"Sorry mom."
"I was so worried about you son, don't do that again okay."
"Okay mom."
"Good boy." I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and went to my old room; I gave my mom a quick kiss on the cheek first though. I had decided not to tell my mom about me being a giant dog running around and protecting the rez from bloodsuckers. It was easier this way, of course she worried; she was a parent that's what they do. But at least she wasn't worrying as much as she would if she knew that I was a werewolf. I picked up my phone and saw a new message from Izzy.
I miss you already. Xo
I smiled and asked her if she wanted me to come pick her up. While I was waiting I had a quick shower and changed into jeans and a nice shirt. I dried my hair best I could but I ran out the door as soon as Izzy texted me. I stopped to say bye to my mom first though and tell her I didn't know when I would be back or if it was even going to be tonight.
"Embry Call! Do you have a date?" she asked cocking one eyebrow and staring at me.
"Mom… don't… its weird!" I whined.
"Sorry, I know it's awkward, but i'm interested, so I will want details later! Um… not too many details though… go have fun!" she laughed awkwardly and pushed me out the door. I jumped on my bike and sped off towards Sara's house. When I got there the door was open and Izzy was running at me. She jumped and put her hands around my neck; I laughed and picked her up by the waist. I put her down again and she smiled. Sara walked up to us gracefully pulled Izzy out of my arms and hugged me.
"Thank you, you helped her a lot. You don't know how grateful we are that she has you." She whispered in my ear she let me go and smiled sweetly, "by the way, if you hurt my friend, I will chop your nuts off and feed them to my cat."
"Sara!" Izzy yelled out raged.
I laughed nervously and Sara went back inside. I saw Nicole and some other girl wave at me from inside. I waved back, handed Iz the helmet and told her to jump on behind me. She did so and I laughed when she clutched at my waist unbelievably hard when I turned it on. "Hold on." I told her and I sped off down the road. I brought us some burgers from the diner in forks and drove her out to the edge of the woods. She looked at me with one eyebrow raised when I stopped there. I just smiled and locked my bike up against a tree.
"I thought you didn't want me going into the woods?"
"Well you are with me, so I know you will be safe."
"Are you going to protect me from the big bad bears?"
"Of course, I will skin them alive if they try to touch you."
"Aww it's ok ill run and leave them for you."
"good." she laughed and stood there. I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me into the woods.
"So where are we going?"
"I'm going to take you to my favorite place, in the woods."
"How did you find it?"
"Um … I found it accidentally." I couldn't tell her that I found it while I was running around as a giant wolf, it would just scare her. We kept walking until I got to the edge of the clearing.
"This is the place I go to think, it's a secret so you can't tell anyone okay?"
"okay." She whispered smiling. I would love to know what she was thinking. I stepped through the last trees and I heard her gasp.
"It's… its beautiful."
"So you like it?"
"Of course how could I not." I must admit this place is gorgeous.
It was all different shades of green with a waterfall and a little lake at the bottom. I sat down on one of the rocks and motioned for her to sit next to me. I pulled out the burgers and gave her one. She took it silently and started eating; I had one of my burgers in two bites and reached for another.
"Jeez how many can you eat?" she said this as I went to grab my fourth.
"Oh sorry, you want another?"
"No i'm good you have it. You must have been hungry."
"I'm pretty much always hungry." She laughed and shook her head. I ate my burgers and got up to go for a swim.
"Where are you going?" she asked quickly as if I was about to leave her forever.
"I'm just going for a swim." I took my shirt off and my jeans, thankful that I had put boxers on today. I ran up to the top of the waterfall.
"Don't jump Embry, you will kill yourself!"
I smiled and jumped anyway. I knew it wouldn't hurt me, I cliff dived all the time, but she didn't know that. I was kinda curious as to how she would react. I broke the surface and saw her looking pissed.
"What's wrong?"
"You could have killed yourself! What would I have done without you?"
"You would survive." I got out of the water and walked over to where she sat. She was looking very sad. "What's wrong?"
"nothing." She stood up and took off her clothes so that she was standing there in her underwear. She started running towards the water. I was frozen, she was so hot! She had an even better body than I had imagined. I ran after her and into the water. She came up to me and kissed me full on the mouth. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her back, I was surprised when I felt her tongue running across my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and let her tongue in. I was so happy I had dreamed about this ever since I met her. She pulled away and smiled, she was so breath taking! She started swimming away. She dived under the water and came back up with her hair in her face. She lay on her back and let herself float along on the top of the water. She had her navel pierced.
"How long have you had that done?" I asked pointing to it.
"About a year or so, why?"
"No reason."
"Do you not like it?"
"No I do… I think it looks hot." She smiled again and went a little red. There was a loud howl that I recognized as Seth. Shit.
"What the fuck was that?" she was standing up now, looking around to try and find out where it came from. She moved closer to me when Seth moved into the clearing in his wolf form.
"Oh my god, were going to die!" I moved closer to go talk to Seth, but Izzy clutched at my arm.
"Its okay he won't hurt us." I pried her fingers off my arm, when I was standing in front of Seth I whispered to him, "What are you doing here? Did Sam send you?" he just shook his big head.
"Why are you here? Is there a vamp?" he shook his head again and whined. He wanted to help convince Izzy that we weren't dangerous.
"Thanks man." I smiled and walked back over to Izzy with Seth beside me. She backed away with wide eyes.
