Chapter sixteen – Awake

Elizabeth's P.O.V.

I don't know how long I was out. My arms and legs felt like thousand ton weights. I couldn't move them. I couldn't open my eyes. What had happened? The last thing I remembered was driving the hospital and…

Oh.

I tried to open my eyes. They were getting lighter, but were still too heavy.

Come on, Elizabeth, I said to myself. Just open your eyes. That's all you have to do.

With a tremendous effort, my eyelids fluttered open, and I looked around the hospital room I was in. I heard the annoying beep, beep, beep of a heart monitor and saw that I was hooked up to it. I also saw that I was hooked up to a bunch of IVs. My broken hand was bandaged and my shoulder was in a sling. It was rather hard to breath.

I took in the rest of my surroundings. Doctors and nurses were rushing around outside. Sirius was snoring in the chair by my bed, gripping my hand. Remus was in the other chair with his eyes closed. I couldn't tell if he was asleep or not, because he never snores

I shifted as much as I could without hurting into a more comfortable position and squeezed Sirius' hand.

His eyes flew open and he gaped at me. "Hey, baby," he whispered, leaning forward and brushing some hair out of my eyes. "How are you feeling?"

"Crappy," I whispered. "You?"

Sirius chuckled, "Shaken. Terrified. All the feeling that come with Dr. Cullen calling me and telling me that my goddaughter was in the hospital."

"I'm sorry," I whispered, looking down.

Sirius shook his head and kissed my forehead, "It's not your fault what happened. I'm just glad that you got away with the minor injuries that you had. The doctor said that it could've been much worse. It was a good thing that your boyfriend, Emmett, caught you."

"Emmett caught me?" I asked.

Sirius nodded.

"Where is he?"

Sirius hesitated, "… Remus kicked him out. He went crazy when he saw Emmett in here with you."

I winced, "What did he do?"

"Threatened him. Told him that if he didn't get out he was going to hex him and then take you back to Hogwarts. I just managed to stop him from killing the poor boy."

I leaned my head back into the pillows and sighed, "How long have I been out?"

"About three hours."

"Well… at least it's not as bad as some of my… previous injuries."

Sirius winced in reminder and kissed my forehead, "Rest, Prongslet."

I rolled my eyes, but closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

HPHPHPHPHPHP

When I opened my eyes again, Sirius was gone, but Remus was kneeling beside the bed, softly stroking my hair.

"Hey, cub," he murmured. "Are you feeling okay?"

I nodded, "Better than I did when I first woke up."

He chuckled and pulled up the chair.

"Where's Sirius?" I asked.

"He's gone to get us something from McDonalds. We figured you wouldn't want hospital food."

"You figured right."

He laughed, but quickly became serious again (no pun intended), "Elizabeth, what happened in Dr. Cullen's office?"

I hesitated, "I might as well start from the beginning… when Bella was still human, she was being hunted by two vampires named James and Victoria. James tracked her down and tried to kill her, but the Cullens got to him first. They killed him. Or… they thought they did. With James gone, they finally thought that they were safe. But Victoria was still out there, and she was pissed. So she went after Bella too. But before she could, they killed her too. James was reincarnated. Apparently, part of his body wasn't completely destroyed. So, his soul—or what was left of it—was caught between, and I quote, 'between the land of the living and the land of the dead.' Apparently, the same thing happened to another vampire, and their two souls were able to combine. James reformed, found out about Victoria, and decided to get revenge. Well, he couldn't kill all of them, so he decided to go after me because I was the most vulnerable thing close to them. A week ago, he made his appearance to me in Port Angeles. I went to stay with the Cullens—or more like Emmett forced me to, to keep me safe. We decided not to tell you because we didn't want you to worry. Around ten this morning, I got a call from Carlisle and he said that I should come to his office because he had news about James. James got wind that I was coming by myself and attacked Carlisle. He was about to finish him off when I showed up. He tried to kill me but I was faster. I killed him. But the force of the spell I used kill him knocked me out of the window."

Remus leaned over and hugged me, "I'm proud of you, cub. You stood up for yourself and you protected Dr. Cullen. But… I think we need to tell Sirius about what the Cullens are."

"What?" I said straight up and winced in pain.

"Elizabeth!" Remus yelped, helping me lay back down. "Don't push yourself! You've still got two broken ribs. Calm down. Just hear me out. It's not right to keep Sirius in the dark like this. I'll do my best to keep him at bay, but I can't promise anything."

"He can't force me to leave," I said. "I won't."

"I know," Remus leaned forward and kissed my forehead.

"By the way," I said. "Why'd you threaten Emmett?"

Remus rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "I… may have jumped to conclusions when Dr. Cullen said you were attacked by an 'animal.'"

I face palmed with my good hand, "Remus, you were the one who told me not to jump to conclusion!"

"Well… this was my goddaughter we were talking about. I was too scared to think clearly."

"So, how did Sirius keep you from killing him?"

"Asked why I was threatening the kid. I couldn't come up with an excuse, so I just told him to leave."

I sighed and leaned back into the pillows. "Do we have to tell him?" I whined suddenly.

Remus chuckled and squeezed my hand, "Yes."

I huffed.

Ten minutes later, Sirius came in the room, carrying kiddy meals.

"Really, Sirius?" Remus said amusedly. "Kiddy meals?"

"Hey!" he said defensively. "They're just as filling as a regular McDonalds' meal! And I really wanted a toy. Hey, Elizabeth! You're up!"

"How observant," I smirked.

He pouted and handed out the individual bags.

"But I wanted a cheeseburger!" I whined playfully as I pulled the chicken nuggets.

Sirius scowled at me, "Take what you get or get nothing at all."

Remus and I laughed. "I'm kidding, Padfoot," I said.

Sirius grumbled.

Remus and I exchanged looks. He nodded.

I took a deep breath, "Sirius, I need to tell you something. About Emmett."

Sirius looked up curiously, "What is it?"

How was I going to say that my boyfriend was a vampire to the most protective godfather ever?

"Well… Emmett isn't exactly human."

Sirius' brow furrowed, "What?"

I looked at Remus and he nodded, as if saying Just say it.

I looked anywhere but at Sirius as I said, "Emmett is… well… he's a vampire."

Sirius stared at me for minute. My heart pounded in my chest. He was going to move us back to Hogwarts. I just knew it. He was going to make me leave Emmett.

But then he burst out laughing, "I know!"

I stared at him with wide eyes and Emmett scooted away from him.

"Oh, my God!" Sirius managed between laughs. "You should've seen your faces! You were all like 'Oh, my God. He's going to make us leave!' Priceless!"

"What—but—why—how?" I stammered.

Sirius grinned at me, "I was in the floo telling you that I was going to be home late when you and Remus had that little conversation. I heard about what Emmett was, and I'll admit, at first I did want to pack us up and leave. All I saw was red. I couldn't understand how you would intentionally put yourself in the presence of something like that. But then you said that you didn't want to leave. How you felt like you could safely love and be loved and I understood that. I remembered what you were like after Cedric died and I didn't want you to go back to that person. I like you better as the happy, carefree Elizabeth, not the depressed, sad Elizabeth. So I decided to give him a try, and I'll admit, I wasn't sure that I would ever warm up to him. But I saw how he was with you, how he never pushed things—and the fact that he never even got close to your neck helped. And then I heard how he saved you from certain death, and I made my decision. We're staying. But let me tell you something right now, if he ever, ever hurt you—either by breaking your heart or physically hurting you—we will move straight back to Hogwarts, and I will not hear any complaints from you."

I nodded numbly. He'd known all along. He'd known and he hadn't said anything. He'd given Emmett a chance. Emmett had passed his test.

Damn. That was a lot to take in apparently.

"Well!" Sirius announced. "I've got to go for a minute. I'll be back."

I looked over at Remus when Sirius was out the door. He and I burst out laughing.

"That just made things easier," I chuckled.

And here's chapter 16! I hope you all enjoyed.
