Emily's Pov
His words seemed so calm yet he just claimed to be a Vampire. I got up but failed to stand, I fell over and started using my arms to pull me across the forest floor.
"Don't try that." Clay said calmly. I screamed in his face and kept crawling I turned my head to face the way I was headed and he was leaned up against a tree with his leg crossed.
"You won't survive." Clay said in a assuring voice.
"You certainly don't care." I mumbled
"Why is that?" Clay asked
"You could kill me anytime!" I yelled
"I wouldn't." He smiled at me
The other releases looked at me in awe.
"Come on guys!" "Tell him he has to leave!" I yelled at them
"They already knew who I was when our journey began." Clay said looking at them all.
"I sleep in the same bed as you, I kissed you and now you think that we're fine?" I sat still.
"I saved your life and you know it!" Clay said smirking at me.
"Stop that!" I said
"What?" Clay said, he winked at me.
"You drink blood!" "I'm filled with it!" I said biting my lip.
"No.." Clay answered
He disappeared into the forest. I got up with my pack and ran, I didn't care how much it hurt.
I filled with tears and steam. My mind, body and mostly my heart felt like I had a steak driven through them. The other releases called for me but I kept going. I stopped at a tree and drove the axe into it. I started a fire and sat down on a fallen log. 5 days ago I sat in my home with my mother. She straightened my long hair and sang to me:
I was a liar
I gave in to the fire
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure
'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better
'Cause you don't want a liar
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything,
But, boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything,
But I got nothing here without you
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise, after that, I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
I don't deserve it
I know I don't deserve it,
But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it
Can't you forgive me?
At least just temporarily
I know that this is my fault
I should've been more careful
And I know, and I know, and I know
She gives you everything,
But, boy, I couldn't give it to you
And I know, and I know, and I know
That you got everything,
But I got nothing here without you, baby
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time
I promise, after that I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home (la li he)
I know I should've fought it
At least I'm being honest (yeah)
But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it, babe
'Cause I don't want to be without you
(Oh)
So one last time
I need to be the one who takes you home (who takes you home, babe)
One more time
I promise, after that I'll let you go
Baby, I don't care if you got her in your heart
All I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home (yeah)
One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home.
I started humming the song and dancing around. But suddenly had to clench my stomach because of the shooting pain I had received. I knew Clay was watching me. I knew he wanted me to ask for his help, for his trust. I made a fist to the sky and said
"Game on!"
