MAKING A CHOICE

Over the last several weeks there had been Vampire attacks in the forests surrounding Forks, both Bella and I knew this but the news was saying animal attacks but we both knew better. Embry had been asking me to stay on the Rez more because he didn't trust the Cullen's to protect me especially since Alice wasn't able to see me because my future was tied to the wolves. Patrols had been doubled so I saw less of him even though I was on the Rez like 60% of the time. Usually when Charlie goes fishing with Billy I stay the night with Embry, but on a Friday night without out him there I just went home because honestly I loved the other imprints but they were too girly for me. So I went home, I flopped down on my bed and groaned.

Bella came over to my room, "What's wrong?" she asked leaning against the door frame.

"Sam is an ass; he's making Embry work extra shifts. I have barely seen him all week." I said sitting up

"Yeah well that's Sam for you; sometimes I think he made his shop a 24 hour shop is so he could do this. I've seen some of those boys he has working down there they all look like they got in a fight with a bus and lost."

We laughed then, "I know I just wish he didn't have to work them so hard they have been so busy."

"He should hire more people." She said simply but only I knew why that solution would work.

"Yeah as if Sam is so picky about whom he hires, I'd be surprised if he hires someone new." I stood up and went to my closet to put my shoes away, "You still watching Edward's family play baseball tomorrow. I said turning to her.

"Yeah, you want to come?" she asked with a small shred of hope.

I wish I could say yes but I knew if I did Embry would shit a two ton brick. I shook my head, "I better not Embry doesn't like it when I'm alone with Edward."

"Why won't anybody tell me why?" she asked getting frustrated

"I'm not allowed to I'm sorry it's kind of like how you aren't supposed to tell people about Edward only this is different." I said fidgeting with a thread on my shirt.

"Yeah whatever, when you feel like enlightening me you know where I'll be." She turned and left.

I hate it when she does shit like that. I got ready for bed and read one of my books until I fell asleep. The next thing I know I was so hot I feel like I was in a freaking sauna. I try to get out of bed but find my way blocked. After blinking a few more time I make out Embry laying on his side, arm tucked under his head the other splayed out next to him. He knew I had to get out of bed on that side; it's my only OCD behavior. And right now I had to pee something fierce. So I did the only thing I knew would wake him up, I slowly slid my hands down his chest and rested them on the waist band of his boxer shorts. In one swift motion I had my hand in his pants and was holding his dick in my hand.

Like a firework went off under his ass he shot up out of bed and growled. We had done stuff like that to each other but those times we had both been awake. (Still a virgin though not for his lack of trying)

"What the Fuck!" He yelled it was a good thing Charlie was working the night shift or I would have been in huge trouble. However Bella and Edward were here and Bella burst in with Edward a respective distance behind her.

"Holy hell I just have to pee but I couldn't wake you up Embry so I did the only thing I knew would do the trick." I stood up and made my way to the bathroom, "It's not my fault you decided to sleep on the only side of the bed that I can get out of."

As I used the bathroom I could hear a muffled conversation then the sound of Bella's door closing. When I got back to my room Embry was laying on my bed is back against the headboard.

"I'm not mad you know." He said with a grin, "I was just surprised."

I jumped onto my bed landing on my knees, "Yeah well, because you trapped me in the bed it's not gonna happen again for a while."

"Oh really," He said giving me a mischievous grin. I raised my eyebrows at him. I realized to late what he was going to do.

In one swift move he grabbed me around the waist flipped me onto my back and hovered over me one hand still on my waist while he put his other arm next to my head hold his weight propped up on his elbow. He looked into my eye's his face less than an inch from mine.

"Why must you torture me?" He said low a slight growl in his voice.

"Because it's fun," I said my breathing becoming erratic. Then I reached up wound my fingers through the hair at the base of his skull, and pulled his lips to mine.

Finally we had to pull away so we could breathe; he placed his forehead against mine and whispered, "God, I love you."

"I didn't know you were so religious." I said with a grin I was teasing him and he knew it. "I love you too." Then kissed him again

We went back to sleep after that I all but forced him against the wall there was no chance of him trapping me again.

O0O

I was sitting in the living room with Charlie watching a game that had been on earlier he had been asleep so I had recorded it so we could watch it together.

Embry was out on patrols according to Quil all had been quite for the last few days but they were still doubling patrols.

Bella had left a few hours ago with Edward to watch his family play baseball, she was going to come back hurt I just knew it. But whatever it was her choice.

About halfway through the game I shot up from the couch and ran up to my room where I had left my phone. I grabbed it off the night stand and sent a panicked text to Paul he wasn't on patrol right now but he was the only wolf not on patrol that I had a number for the other wolfs were new I hadn't had a chance to get their numbers yet.

Get Embry something's wrong

With Bella I don't know what but

I have a feeling.

And don't laugh I'm serious

I set the phone next to me on my bed. As I waited for a reply I paced my room I was still doing it when Charlie came up and stood in my door way.

"What's wrong, you never leave in the middle of a game." He looked worried but I couldn't tell him what was wrong so I lied. I mentally shrugged it's not the first time.

"Nothing I forgot that I was supposed to go over to Angela's we have a project in French that we're partnered up on." I was a much better liar than Bella so he believed.

He nodded his head and left the room just as I heard him descending the stairs my phone went off it was from Paul.

Embry is on his way but I wouldn't worry

She's with the leeches despite how I might

Feel about them I know they wouldn't

Let anything happen to her.

I felt slightly better about the fact that Embry was on his way but I still had a gut wrenching feeling that something really bad was happening. I started having a panic attack; I sat in a corner and put my head between my knees with my hands clasped together behind my head.

Embry found me like this a few minutes later and pulled me into his lap. After a few more minutes I was able to talk.

"Something's wrong with Bella. And before you tell me not to worry it's probably nothing, the last time I felt this way she had almost died in a car crash when we were ten." She had gone out with Renee's parents I was supposed to go to but I had been sick our grandparents had died on impact but Bella had lived but just barely.

"Okay well I'm sure she is in good hands. Just relax we'll figure this out." He held me tighter and I took a few deep breaths

"I know she's in good hands do you think I would have even let her date Edward if I thought he would put her life in danger intentionally!" by the time I had finished my voice had raised up an octave.

Just as Embry was about to say something else the front door opened with a bang, "No Edward it's over I can't do this just leave me alone!" I heard her yell. I knew that yell that wasn't her angry yell that was her scared yell. I knew something was wrong and it had nothing to do with Edward at least not entirely.

The next thing I heard was a thud in her room I rushed over and shut the door behind me I could hear Bella downstairs arguing with Charlie, I turned to see Edward packing a bag with Bella's things he looked pained.

"Edward what the hell is going on," He paused his packing and looked up at me Embry came in closing the door behind him pushing himself against the wall farthest from Edward to give him some space.

"There is a vampire coming after Bella he isn't like my family and when he saw how I protected Bella today he saw it as a game to try and get her from me to kill her." He started throwing more clothes into the bag but kept talking, "I read his mind he will stop at nothing to get her for himself and not to keep her alive but to kill her. Not only that but it has happened before with Alice he knew her when she was human he had killed the vampire that had hid her from him before he could get to her though the vampire that had hid Alice had changed her. He is determined not to let that happen again."

"Wait, are you going to change her in order to stop him?" Embry asked but kept himself against the wall

"No unlike the vampire that changed Alice I love Bella and I don't want this fate for her. No what I plan to do is something that vampire should have done a hundred years ago." He zipped up the bag and looked up at me, "I'm going to kill him."

Bella came in then paused for a split second when she saw us but went to her closet grabbed a small bag and went out to the hall leaving the door open a crack so we could hear what she was saying to Charlie.

"Bella just think about this, you can't drive to phoenix alone at night. Just wait till morning if you still feel like going then I'll take you to the airport myself."

"Dad I can't I need to go home if I get tired I'll stop and rest I promise I just need to go." I could hear her in the bathroom.

"Bells I thought you liked Edward."

"I do that's the problem."

She came into the room then and looked at us and whispered, "What do I say to him I can't hurt him."

Edward was the one to answer, "Bella you just need to." He handed her the bag he had packed, "I'll wait for you in the truck." And with that he was out the window.

She left the room then leaving the door open I watched as she rushed down the stairs Charlie following right on her heels. I went to the top of the stairs so I could listen.

"Come on Bells I just got you girls back, we can do more stuff together. I know I'm not the easiest to live with but I can be better."

"Like what dad going to the diner watching football on the Flat screen, that's you and Jen that's not me. I don't fit in, and if I don't leave now I'll just be stuck here like mom." I heard the door slam and her truck start up. I stood there speechless, that had been exactly what my mom had said to him the night she left with us. I knew it was the only thing that would have made him let her leave.

I fell to the floor, for the second time that night Embry pulled me to his lap. After a few seconds I took a few deep breathes stood up and went into my room throwing some random clothes into a bag and going to the bathroom and numbly throwing stuff into another bag I went back to my room and grabbed the other bag then turned to Embry.

"I'm going with her, you can either go with me or stay here but you can't stop me." And with that I rushed out of the house and to my car I threw my bags into the passenger seat and made my way to the Cullen house. I had a feeling that they would be there.
