Chapter 8: The Talk

Crystal

Everyone had gotten me something which I thought was impossible considering they just found out when my birthday was yesterday, they're working, eating, or sleeping. I had no idea how they did it but they did and that made me happy that they gave up some of their time to go out and get something for me. Emily and Sam got me a pair of DC shoes that were the main color was black and the secondary color was a bright green. Paul got me a black t-shirt with three wolves howling at the moon. Seth gave me a dream catcher except all the material was black. Leah gave me a pair of black skinny jeans with a swirl design from the side of the left leg down to the inside of the jeans. Quil and Clair got me a black fabric string necklace with a black heart shaped locket with a dark red rose on the front. Kim and Jared got me a pair a pure black feather ear rings with silver streaks that went down to my shoulder. Jacob gave me a wooden picture frame with little carvings on it. Everyone looked towards Embry. He walked up to me.

"I technically have to things but I count them as a pair and one present." He took out a choker necklace with black string and a grey wolf as the center piece of the necklace. "Here, turn around and I'll put it on for you." He said smiling. I turned around and held my hair up. He put the necklace around my neck and fastened the clip. It fit perfectly. I turned around and he pulled out a bracelet.

"It's a Quileute promise bracelet. Can I have your hand?" he asked quietly. I held out my hand. He put the bracelet on and then he said "I promise never to hurt you and to be there when you need help." He let go of my hand and smiled. After a minute people started talking again. Embry gave me a hug then went and talked to Sam for a sec, then he came back.

"Can you come with me? I need to tell you something." He said looking a little nervous

I followed him outside a little ways in to the forest. He turned around to look at me. He tried to say something but he never said anything finally he spoke.

"Have you heard any of the Quileute legends?"

"No, I haven't. Why do you ask Embry?"

"Well, there's a legend in our tribe that say we're descended from wolves and that some people of the tribe have a special gene that allows us to change into wolves."

"Ok, so why are you telling me this?" I asked. Why would someone bring a person into the wood to tell a random tale. Then it hit me. He was either her to kill me or, the legends were true. "The legends are true aren't they." I asked

"Yes, they are true. I know because I am one, and so are the rest of the guys back there. Leah's one two. There's something else though…"

"What else should I know besides that you can turn into a wolf."

"Us wolves have many abilities. One of which is called imprinting. It's when a wolf first sees someone, as soon as the wolf sees that person, their whole world begins to revolve around that person. It's love at first sight except stronger. The wolf finds their sole mate."

"But why in the world would you-" It hit me

By the look on my face I'm guessing he knew I knew but he said it anyway. "I imprinted on you Crystal."

"Prove it."

"Prove what?"

"Prove that you're a wolf."

He started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" I asked

"I'll be right back."

He walked behind a nearby tree. I heard a ripping sound. After I heard that sound a giant grey wolf came from behind the tree. The wolf had spots on his back and a dark grey muzzle. The wolf eyes looked like…Embry's.

"Are you Embry?" I asked cautiously. It nodded it's head. I turned around and started walking to the house. But I stopped when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Embry following me as a human.

"Why didn't you tell me Embry! I trusted you!"

"I was going to tell you that night but you had to go to the hospital." He said

That's when it clicked. I remembered everything that night. Embry had saved me. He had saved me from a vampire trying to suck my blood. All the memories came rushing back. My head began to hurt so much that it made me scream in pain. I felt my body hit the floor and I heard feet coming up behind me. That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.

Embry

I saw her fall onto the ground floor. She began to twitch and then she started to scream in pain. What was happening to her? I picked her up in my arms and ran back to the house. I opened the door and Crystal was still screaming. Everyone came rushing into the hallway.

"What the heck did you do to her!" I heard Paul yell. Emily came up to me with Sam right behind her.

"Embry, what happened?" Emily asked as she looked over Crystals twitching, screaming, unconscious body.

"I told her in the forest like Sam told me to, she asked me to prove that I was a wolf so I phased. When I phased back she started yelling at me about why I hadn't told her about the imprint sooner. I told her I was going to tell her the night she went to the hospital but she went to the hospital."

"Embry, you remember what the doctor said right?"

"Yeah, the nurse said that she lost her memory do to trauma."

"I talked to a doctor and he told me almost the same thing. The only difference is that he told me about a major side effect.

"What side effect?"

"The doctor told me that if something causes her memory to come back in a jolt it can cause he a lot of mental pain. Even more if she was under mental stress." I saw Kim suddenly freeze and Sam could feel it. He turned around to face Kim.

"What is it Kim?" Sam asked

"She told me about how she was remembering some bad memories when she lived back in Colorado. It was making her really sad. I guess she was under a lot of mental stress."

We all looked back towards Crystal. "Yes, yes that would be a lot of mental stress"

ok, so how did you like this chapter?
