Emily's Nightmare7
Emily's POV
I woke up once more in my room, but this time with a major head ache. I groaned, and then groaned once more because my groan had made me sound pitiful. I was on the edge of my couch, but I didn't know that until I rolled off. Speaking unintelligible, I started to get up, except this time I hit my head on couch's frame. That didn't help my headache. Muttering, I got up and looked at the clock, it was five thirty.
My stomach growled and sighing, I put on my slippers. I opened the door to room and heard whispers. Normally, I didn't like to eavesdrop, but I couldn't help myself. I walked slowly towards the staircase, and I heard Bella, Edward and the two guests talking. I stopped on the top stairs and listened. "Do you have a place to stay?" I heard Edward ask.
"We're staying at my cousin's Matthew's place," answered on of the guest. "Matthew Cunning?" Bella asked.
"You know him?" he asked. Where these people Matthew's cousins? Who where Bella and Edward talking to? I got closer to the stair and listened.
"Yep, he's in Emily's classes," said Bella. Why did Bella tell them that? Did they even know who I was?
I heard Edward shout to them, "How did you know we where here?" he asked. I couldn't hear the answer. Edward closed the door "At least we know who attacked Emily," he said. Who was it?
My feet were dangling of the first stair. Without thinking I took a step forward and I missed a step. I shrieked something that I don't normally do, and felt my self fall. I closed my eyes and waited for the fall, which never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see Edward's worried face, and was caring my in his arms. I sighed in relief. "Thanks" I told him. He nodded and put me down. I steadied myself.
"Emily, are you okay? What happened?" asked Bella worried.
"Bella, I'm okay. I just missed the step, really" I told her truthfully, knowing that she would be checking to see if I was lying or not. I was the only one that could confuse Bella, since I was an extremely good liar. It was something that Emmett taught me when I was young, 'When lying, always believe that it's true,' he would say to me.
She looked at me curiously, and nodded. The door opened, surprising the three of us and Carlisle walked in. "I just saw Sam and Quinn," he said. So that's who they where. I had heard there name once or twice, when I would ask Bella of her human life. But as far I could tell, they where people who hadn't gotten along very well with anyone of my family, except Bella.
Carlisle turned to me, "Hello, Emily, How are you feeling?" he asked me.
I sneezed before I answered, "Sick, and I have a horrible head ache, and everything is so loud! Not as loud as it was this afternoon, when they got home, but still loud," I moaned.
"She had a slight fever when we got home," said Edward. Carlisle looked concerned, and he placed his hand on my forehead. I waited patiently, relived to have something cold on my head, especially after the bump that I got from getting out of bed. "She's a lot warmer than usual. I better get my stuff. Emily, go to your room and wait for me there." He told me.
I groaned, "But I'm hungry," I whined. They chuckled. I crossed my arms and pouted. I was feeling very childish, but I really didn't care, I was starving. Bella kneeled down so that we where the same height.
"Now, now Emi, listen to daddy and go to your room," she said, exactly the way she did when I was three.
I made my bottom lip tremble, "But, Bellies!" I whined.
"No, Bellies. Now go to your room." She said sternly. I stuck my tongue out at her and stomped of to my room. As I past Edward, I heard him chuckle. I glared at him, say goodbye stereo! I thought. He stopped chuckling and glared at me. I smiled angelically and skipped upstairs.
In my room, I decided to check my emails. I had two different email accounts, one which I was currently using for the life I lived now, the other for the life I used to live, before I partially changed. I had one new email from my recent life.
Emily!!
WHERE THE & HAVE YOU BEEN!! YOU WEREN'T AT SCHOOL TODAY, AND I WAS LIKE FREAKING OUT!! SO WAS EVERYONE ELSE!! YOU NEVER MISS SCHOOL!! ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE?
I started cracking up. Liana has been my best friend since we moved to this town. Of course, she doesn't know our secret, but she still hangs out with me and the rest of the Cullen family, despite what other's think. I continued reading the email knowing that there would be news of today's happenings; Liana loved to gossip.
I hope you're live!! Wow, maybe you're sick? You've never been sick, what do you have? Are you coming to school tomorrow? The rest of the girls say hi.
Anyway, today guess who was asking for you!! MATTHEW CUNNING! I thought you two didn't get along? Anyway he said he needed to talk to you, and murmured something about apologizing. It was really awkward. He was acting totally strange, like out of the zone or something. He was totally pissed with his sisters, though. Maybe it's a family thing.
Liana
I reread the last paragraph. Matthew wanted to talk to me? I felt my stomach tighten up and feel all fluttery. I shook the feeling of; it was one I didn't like. Carlisle came in then, interrupting my train of thought. "Liana wants to know if I'm going to school tomorrow." I told him.
He chuckled, "Tell her you won't be going, it's supposed to be really sunny tomorrow," he informed. I wrote back to her, my fingers sliding against the keyboard.
Liana,
Dad says I'm not going to school tomorrow, but I'll be back on Wednesday. How was Matthew acting, was he happy or disappointed that I wasn't there? Not that it matters or anything.
Emily
I logged off, and turned back to Carlisle, who was reading over my shoulder.
"Hey, no reading!" I told him. He chuckled once more, I liked his chuckles.
"Did you need anything?" I asked him, wondering why he was in my room to start with.
He shook his head, "I just wanted to make sure that you where feeling well. Apparently you have the flu, which would have taken a normal person a week to get over, but it's taken you only a day," he told me.
I grinned at him, "Thank goodness for super healing vampire speed, huh?" He laughed and tossed my hair playfully before leaving my room.
"Emily, don't you mess with Edward's stereo," he warned as he headed down the hall.
A/N: This is really just a chapter filler, and character intro. Nothing of much interest.
