Emily's Nightmare18
Emily's Pov
Okay, so it turned out that my ankle wasn't broken, It just had a minor sprain. I could put some wait on it, but not a whole bunch which was okay since tomorrow I was going to school and I'd be sitting most of the time. Edward told me last night, that Matthew had asked him to tell me, that it was perfectly fine with his parents. Of course, then he wanted to know what was perfectly fine, and I had to tell him everything. Not that I would have kept it secret, there are no secrets in our family. Carlisle said it fine and Esme was ecstatic, she kept saying that it would be a really good experience for me. Unfortunately, it gave Alice an excuse to take me shopping on Saturday, since I didn't have any church worthy dresses.
Today was the last day of school, for the week anyway, for Eight Graders since we had testing on Saturday. Bella helped me get out of the car, "Are you sure you want to go to school today?" she asked me once more.
"I'm sure Bella, it's just today," I reassured her. She nodded and grabbed her backpack.
"Remember, if you need anything, we're just one building away," she told me. I nodded and made my way to school. I was so glad that they where one building away, I don't think I could take Bella anymore.
Liana was waiting for me at the door. We had seen her last night at the hospital, her little brother got his head stuck in the toilet seat, and she of course offered her help. I am really grateful, because I don't think I could make it to all my classes on time. Of course, her help would only be useful for homeroom and French, the only classes I have with her. "I still can't believe that you of all people fell down the stairs," she said as we headed to homeroom.
"Why would you say that?" I asked.
"Well, have you seen the way you walk?" I shook my head, "It's like you're dancing, or gliding. Your sister Alice is like poetry in motion, all you are. You all just walk so gracefully, it's hard to imagine you tripping," she confessed. I waked gracefully? I knew my sibs did, but I didn't know I did. I just shrugged and sat down in my seat.
As I had predicted, as soon as I sat down, I was surrounded by people wanting to know what had happened. All I did was limp and yet they'd all noticed it immediately. The first ones around my table and me, where my five friends. They stood a respectful distance away, knowing I didn't like enclosed spaces.
"Emily! What happened?! Are you okay?" asked Rebecca. I nodded, remembering the story Alice had made up for me this morning.
"I'm okay. It's just a minor sprain, nothing to worry about really. I don't even need crutches" I told her reassuringly. She didn't look convinced. "I tripped, coming down the stairs last night." Victoria snorted.
"Yeah right. Have you seen the way you walk?" she asked.
"That's exactly what I told her," Liana butted in.
"I thought Maggie was the klutz," said April.
"Hey! Oh, wait that's right. I can't believe that you of all people fell!" Maggie said amazed. I shook my head, if people kept comparing me to my walk no one was going to believe my story.
Once again, I was saved by Mr. Fleming came in, telling everyone to sit down. That man had a knack for coming at the right time. I didn't even notice when Matthew sat down next to me. "So, what are you telling everyone?" he asked quietly as Mr. Fleming began to take attendance. "Don't tell me that you told everyone something unbelievable, like you tripped down the stairs or something," he snickered. I rolled my eyes at him. "Well you got something better? Oh yeah, I got smashed by rocks last night, while I slipped down a hill of mud and crashed into a wall of rock," I said sarcastically. He shrugged.
"So, what your folks say about Sunday?" he asked. I pretended to ignore him and turned on my iBook, clicking the keys randomly. "Aw come on Emily, don't be like that. Look I'm sorry if I made fun of your lame excuse," he said sincerely. I rolled my eyes and turned back to look at him.
"They practically threw me out of the house, until I reminded them it was on Sunday," I told. His face light up and I got a really weird feeling in my stomach.
"So they said yeah?" he asked, making sure. I nodded.
"Unfortunately it gives Alice a reason to take me shopping on Saturday." I said solemnly.
"You don't have to dress up you know, you could just go in jeans," he told me. I shook my head.
"If you have to, so will I. besides, Alice wouldn't let me leave the house anyway," I laughed.
So the rest of the day went by. With Matthew's help, I managed to make it to most of my classes on time. I sat with my friends, my sibs had gone home early, for some apparent reason, and so I didn't get to chat with them. I argued with Maggie on whether or not the guy from Smallville was hot, and managed to convince April not to do the tree huggy thing she was planning to do. Rebecca had spent the lunch time drawing; again, she wouldn't show me what it was. Victoria and Liana just talked about something that must have had to do with me, because whenever I asked, they'd make up random topics.
Having a dad as a doctor really worked out in my favor, because he just made a note, signed Dr. Cullen and poof, I didn't have to do PE today. Lucky me. So I was sitting in the library, waiting for school to end, when I got thinking. How was I supposed to get home, if all my sibs had left early? I didn't even have my phone with me, since it got drenched in mud, I couldn't do anything to fix it. I had left my computer on unintentionally, so when it dinged, I jumped. Startled, I opened it and looked at the page, making sure there where no teachers first.
Emily, wait for me outside the cafeteria today after school, I'll go pick you up.
Emmett
How did he even know I could get emails? I hope he wasn't going to pick me up in the monster Jeep, it wasn't very inconspicuous. I turned the iBook off and read Wuthering Heights instead.
Unfortunately, he did come to pick me up in the monster Jeep, which I need help getting into since the tires practically reached higher than my waist. Once in the car, I asked him where they'd gone. "Hunting, I decided to stay closer to town and catch smaller game," he told me, not looking at me the whole time. I felt my mouth drop in amazement. Emmett catching small game? That was unbelievable, Alice yes, but Emmett? He would never miss a chance to go get himself a bear, so why now? I didn't get the chance to integrate him more, because he had slammed his breaks unexpectedly. Lucky for me, I always wore my seatbelt in his car.
"What was that for?" I asked him as I straightened myself. I saw that his gaze was angry, so I followed it. His gaze lead to the two people who where outside the car, both whom I didn't know, in each other's grasps. Not hug grasp, but killing grasp. They looked very familiar, yet not. One was very tall, Native American looking, with somewhat long black, glossy hair. His eyes where a deep dark color that glared unmercifully. He didn't look older than seventeen, yet at the same time, older than twenty. The other was just as tall with extremely white pale skin; he too had black hair only his was cropped short. I couldn't see his face, until he turned to face us. I gasped back as I stared into his crimson red eyes. The exact same ones I had seen when the rocks had fallen yesterday. I could hear Emmett, fumbling with the door, but I couldn't move. Emmett's voice brought me back to reality.
"Call the others," he ordered as he tossed me his phone. I nodded and turned my attention to dialing the numbers on his (enter phone of choice). I could hear Edward's phone ring, but he wasn't picking up. As I waited, I watched as the two turned to look at Emmett. The one who I concluded was a vampire, took the distraction to his advantage and loosened himself from the other boys grip. Both Emmett and the boy tried to knock him down, but he was much to fast for them.
"Emmett?" asked Edward. He picked up!
"Edward! It's Emily, there's something really weird happening. Emmett just told me to call you and I have to idea what the heck is happening. There are these two boys in the middle of the road, except I think ones a vampire, and oh my gosh, the vampire just flipped Emmett over onto the hood of the car! I didn't think that was possible! That guy is stronger than Emmett," I babbled rapidly.
"Okay, Emily calm down. We'll be there as soon as we can. Where are you?" he said sternly.
"About a mile from home," I guessed. He didn't even say anything; I just heard the phone click off. How were they going to get here on time? Hadn't Emmett said they'd left town to go hunting? Okay, calm down, I told myself. The important thing was that Edward and the rest are coming. I turned my attention back to the fight that was happening. I saw how the vampire lunged out of Emmett's way and made his way toward the car. Without thinking, I opened the door and lunged out, rolling out into the dirt. I covered my head as I heard some metal being thrown. Emmett was going to be pissed by what had probably happened to his car. I lifted my head, in time to see the vampire speed of into the surrounding wood area. I picked myself up slowly, Emmett and the other boy had chased him into the woods. I managed to stand and walk slowly to what was left of the jeep. Actually, the only thing that was missing was the door to the passenger seat; someone must have ripped it off after I had escaped. I didn't notice that my leg wasn't hurting much anymore; it was more like a small pinch instead of the aching pain.
I must have gone into shock, because I didn't even see when Emmett came back. He was shaking my shoulder, "Emily? Emily are you okay?" he asked. I stared at him, and nodded, I think.
"She's in shock," said the other boy. His voice was tough, older, not the normal seventeen year old voice.
"I…I'm okay," I told Emmett, trying to give him a reassuring smile.
"Are you sure?" he asked unconvinced. I nodded and tried to prove it to him by standing up, except he wouldn't let me. Instead he gently pushed me back down.
"I believe you, don't strain yourself," he joked, smiling, but it never reached his eyes. He must have forgotten the other boy was there, because I saw him jump when he spoke.
"Do the others know that it's here?" he asked. Who knew what was where?
"Do they know? Did you call them?" Emmett asked me. I nodded.
"He said they'd be here soon. Um, we can go home, can't we?" I asked him eyeing the dented car. He saw what I was eyeing, and cursed.
"Rose is going to freak," he mumbled as he went to pop the hood. I got up and went to see what was wrong. As I passed by the boy, I felt him stiffen. Something was weird about him.
We worked on Emmett's Jeep till someone arrived. It wasn't really hard, Rosalie had thought me something's on cars, and Emmett's knowledge, which wasn't much, and the other boy's vast knowledge on cars it was actually kind of fun. I didn't even notice when they arrived, until I heard Bella gasp and felt the boy stiffen. I turned and eyed them; not knowing what was going on. Carlisle was the one who broke the silence, "Hello Jacob, it's been a long time." Realization dawned on me then. This guy was the one from when they had lived in Forks. The one who had fallen in love with Bella. This guy was Jacob Black.
……….
A/N: I kind of forgot about Jacob till now. Sorry. I can tell you from here that he won't be playing a huge part in this fanfic. Not that I don't love him, I do, it's just that this doesn't revolve around the whole BellaxEdwardxJacob love triangle thing. So remember to click the button and review!
