Emily's Nightmare8
The next day was pretty boring. Carlisle's prediction of the weather came true, so we all had to stay home. My excuse was that I was sick, and my siblings were that they all went hiking. I liked it when it was sunny, not only because I got to miss school, but I loved to see my family sparkle like diamonds. I didn't sparkle like them, I shimmered. My light colored skin would glitter or shimmer, almost like my siblings, but a lot less. Sometimes it's barely noticeable, depending what kind of clothes I wore. If I wore dark clothes you could definitely notice it, unlike when I wore light colored clothes were you could barely tell. On my face, it looked like I had glitter on it, something I enjoyed.
Edward and Bella disappeared, going into a meadow they found a couple years ago. Alice and Rosalie spent there time once more planning our sister outings, something neither me nor Bella enjoyed. I used like it when my sisters would play dress up with me, but now I have a common sense and like to dress myself. Jasper and Emmett where once more glued to the television screen watching some type of sport. Carlisle and Esme where out and about, walking along the lake, which shimmered a brilliant blue when the sun's rays touched it's still surface. I usually found something to entertain myself with. Sometimes I would go and sit on my hammock, which hung in a corner of my room, and listen to music or read Wuthering Heights, something Bella had gotten me into reading. Today though, I decided it was time for me to take some pictures.
Photography was one of my favorite things to do, the others where ice skating, dancing and drawing, not to mention I was pretty good at it. I was always taking pictures of everything, mostly of my family though. I took out my Nokia digital camera and took a couple of picture of random objects, making sure it still worked.
At first, when I was little, I wasn't sure if my family would show up in the pictures. I only told Bella, who I trusted with human details, and she had laughed. She told me that when she had first meet Edward, when she lived in Forks, that she had wondered the same thing. Then she showed me a scrapbook she had gotten for her 18th birthday, it had pictures of Edward mostly, and some of other family and friends.
Satisfied with the pictures, I went out and began to take more serious pictures. Of course, before I left the house I had to tell someone, they where still a bit paranoid of what had happened on Sunday. "Smile," I said as I snapped a picture of Jasper and Emmett, both watching a tennis match. The camera made a click noise and showed the picture before it stored it into its eternal memory. "Perfect," I said smiling. Emmett growled a playful growl before attacking me and pinning me to the floor. He started tickling me before I could realize what had happened. "Emmett…stop…that's...not...fair!" I managed to say between my laughter. He gradually stopped and went back to the couch, smirking at his latest accomplishment. I gasped for air, still trying to calm my laughter down.
"Here, I saved this for you," said Jasper as he handed me my camera.
I grabbed it from him and gave him a hug, "Thanks Jasper, you rock!" I told him as I skipped of towards the sunroom.
I had passed Carlisle and Esme on my way out, and told them I was going to be taking pictures. They told me to be safe and not to get close to the lake. I merrily skipped off, making my way through the forest. I knew this place just as good as I knew my house. I followed an invisible path that lead to the berry patch, where amazingly, bunched of berries where.
As I got nearer to the patch, I crinkled my nose. There was an awful scent that I hadn't smelled before. It was acidy and strong, something I didn't enjoy. I stopped breathing and took the pictures I wanted, before heading back. As I started to leave, I noticed some chocolaty colored fur, peaking out from the bushes. I thought that maybe that was what was causing the smell; maybe it was a dead animal. I moved aside the bushes, to have a big dog like thing pounce at me. I screamed in surprise as my back hit the ground. The thing was a wolf, an overly large wolf, with chocolate looking fur. It stood over me, sniffing my face. I crinkled my noise as it passed over my face. It stayed like that for another minute, before getting of me. I sat up and watched it carefully. I wasn't scared of it, and I knew it wasn't scared of me.
It gave a small, low howl, and almost instantly two more appeared. One was bigger and had black fur, while the other was smaller than the one that had attacked me, with a brown coat. It wasn't dark like the first ones, but it was still very pretty. The smallest one came up to me and sniffed me. I instantly stiffened as I sniffed me over. The black one came up to me and did the same. I sat there another two minutes as the sniffed me over. Finally, the black one backed away and the little one licked my face. I jumped in surprise as it licked my check once more. It tickled. I placed my hand on its fur and gave it a good shake. I heard the black one growl and stopped. The little one looked up at me with its big green eyes, (do wolves even have green eyes?) and walked over to the black one. It seemed to me that the black one was scolding the little one. I instantly remembered that I had a camera with me, and I snapped a shot of the three wolves. They looked at me in surprise, but when on arguing with one another. I took two more of the pack and then took three pictures of each wolf individually.
It seemed ages till they agreed on something. The big black one turned towards me and nodded its head, as if bidding me fair well. The chocolate one did the same and followed the black one back into the forest. The little one was more restless in leaving. It came up to me, gave me one more lick, before pouncing off to catch the other two.
I sat there, waiting to see if they would change their mind and come eat me. They didn't so I got up and dusted myself off. I turned the camera off, and placed it in the bag I had brought, before walking back home.
I sniffed myself, before I went inside. I made a face, I smelled awful. Hopefully I would be able to get into the shower before anyone noticed. Of course that didn't happen, because when I stepped into the house, I was immediately surrounded by Jasper, Emmett, Alice and Edward. I heard Alice give a sigh of relief, before Emmett gave me a hug. "Did I miss something?" I asked when Emmett put me down.
He made a face, "Emily, where have you been? You smell awful," he said while making a face.
Edward stepped up to me and smelled my hair, before stepping back abruptly, "You smell horrible," he told me. I could see he had a worried expression on his face. Before I could ask him what was wrong, I was once more in the kitchen, being held by Esme.
"Oh Emily, thank goodness you're alright," she said while squeezing me. She let me go, making a face as she smelled me.
"I'm very confused. I told you I was going to go take pictures, remember?" I asked her.
"Well, when Alice saw you disappear…" started Rosalie.
I interrupted her, "Alice saw me disappear? I didn't even do anything! All I did was go to the berry patch to take a few pictures, and then I got attacked by this overly big wolf," I started to say, and then stopped when I saw the faces everyone had.
"It attacked you?" asked Bella slowly.
I thought about it, "Well, maybe attack was exaggerated. What he did was pounce on me, making me fall, and then started sniffing me," I said cautiously. Carlisle had his look that said explain, so I took a deep breathe and started telling them what happened.
I told them how the chocolate dog had pounced on me, and how it called for the other two and how they sniffed me. I told them of how the littlest of the three had licked my face, mentally grinning when Emmett looked at me with disgust, and of how it seemed they where discussing something. Meanwhile, I passed around my camera, so that they could see the dogs. When I finished talking, it was one of those awkward silences again. I took my camera back from Edward, who looked like he could squash it. He turned to Carlisle and nodded, they where having one of their silent conversations. I began to fidget, I wasn't one to stay still for a very long time, especially when there was an anonymous feeling going around. It seemed that this discussion was going on for eternity, when suddenly Edward gave the last nod and a smile.
Everything seemed to slow down as he turned to me and smiled, "Emily, will go take a shower, you smell of werewolf."
