Rejected . . . Now It's My Turn ( a rejected mate tale) Watty Awards 2012

Chapter 6

I stayed in my room for the rest of the week. Derek would come in to tell me what I missed and give me my homework. The thing that satisfied me the most was that Emmet's parents found out what he had tried to do to me and was giving him the cold shoulder along with my brother and the rest of the pack. Well.... except Cassie she was all over him. Basically whoring herself to him.

''Will you come down and join everyone for dinner? Your brother wants to make sure you’re okay along with Emmett's parents" Derek pleaded to me.

I hesitated at first then let out a sigh and got out of my bed walking out the door ahead of him. I walked into the kitchen and everyone stopped talking all together. I looked up from my feet to see them staring at me intently. I let my gaze wonder around the room until it landed on Emmett. He hadn't noticed me yet but then he looked up and met my gaze. I watched him jump out of his chair dropping his fork on his plate in the process. The clatter echoed through the room.

"Scarlet I ...." he started but I cut him off by raising my hand in a sign for him to stop and he did.

"Don't" I said he opened his mouth to respond but I cut him off again "Just don't. Don't come near me, don't talk to me and if I'm in a room alone you stay out of it" I said harshly as I watched his face drop in disappointment, despair and lastly guilt.

My wolf growled at me to go over and reassure him, forgive him and lastly mate with him. I ignored it keeping my steely gaze on him.

"Got it?" I asked him.

“I understand” he managed out his voice was mangled with reluctance and sadness.

"Good because if you don't and go against my orders as the Alpha who's going to train you I will kill you" I told him letting the rage, hatred and disgust show in my voice.

I grabbed the plate that was meant for me and turned back around starting to leave for my room again. But stopped at his question.

"What did you say?" I asked turning back around.

"I was asking if you would ever forgive me" he said to me.

"I don't know. But keep you busy until I do go fuck my sister I can smell her lust from my room" I said then turned and walked up the stairs and into my room closing the door behind me.

I ate most of my food and played with the rest of it contemplating his question in my head.

'Could I ever forgive him?' I asked myself.

It's too soon to tell. It happened only a few days ago. After eating I lay back in my bed and drifted off to sleep. I was awoken by a crash and the smell of smoke I bolted up to find an..... an arrow on fire.

"Wait! What the hell?" I asked no one

I jumped out of bed but it was too late it had spread too much. I quickly raced to my bedroom door to make my escape but as soon as my hand made contact with the door knob it burned me. I pulled my hand back and let out a cry of pain.

'Think Scarlet how can you escape from this kind of situation' I asked myself and it came to me.

Call for help and make as much noise as possible!" I yelled but quickly regretted opening my mouth as the smoke rushed into my mouth and down my throat.

I started coughing and chocking on the smoke trying to get any fresh air that was left in the room.

'Okay so no calling for help but I can bang on the door' I thought to myself and started banging on the door desperate to escape.

Nobody answered my desperate banging.

'Couldn't they smell the smoke?' I asked myself then I remembered Derek telling me everyone was going out for a run.

All my hope for survival was gone. Suddenly I heard a loud crack and looked up. The roof was about to cave in on me. I quickly jumped out of the way before it fell on me. Unfortunately the place where I jumped was the place that had the most fire and smoke. I got back up to go to a safer area in the room but found myself surrounded by a ring of fire.

'How is this possible?' I asked myself looking at the perfect circle that was surrounding me.

My vision started getting hazy and I couldn't hold my breath anymore. I let out a gasp inhaling the now smoked filed air. I started coughing and chocking all over again. I lost my strength to stand and collapsed on the ground. The last thing I saw before passing out was a figure kicking down my door with a whole group of people standing behind him watching in horror.

"Emmett" I managed to croak out and reached up to brush his cheek with my hand and then I passed out.

Hey yawl it's Scarlet here. So what do you think will happen next? Was who I saw before passing out really Emmett? Or did I mistake him for someone else? Let's not forget the most important question of all. Am I dead or alive?

Stay aware and keep reading to find out.

Yours Wonderfully,

Scarlet Wolfrain
