Forever - Embry Call FF

Chapter 8

I stand outside, looking up at the house. I sigh, gathering my things. The door opens, the person standing behind it giving me a small smile. I set my things down, running into their arms. They rub my back as I cry, whispering that everything will be fine. I pull back, wiping the mascara from underneath my eyes. The person grabs my luggage, carrying up the stairs. I stand awkwardly in the living room, not really knowing what to do.

"Lucille, it's good to see you again." A new voice tells me.

"To be honest, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here." I respond, messing with the bracelet on my wrist.

"Bella will be glad to see you again. She was so devastated when you left." Esme smiles. I notice her eyes, how they're not their normal topaz color, but instead are pitch black. She walks up the stairs, and I follow after her. When I see Bella, I stop, taking a deep breath.

"Lucy, you came back." She gives me her best smile, waving me over.

"Yeah, I um, I don't really know why. I guess I just didn't want to lose you." A tear slides down my cheek. Bella wraps me in a hug and I sob into her shoulder. I remember what Embry told me, and I quickly turn to the family. "The pack, they're coming after Bella. They want the baby dead. You have to do something." Edward exits the room, going onto the balcony. He seems to be speaking to someone, but I don't know who. The rest of the family shares looks. Edward comes back in, along with Jacob and Seth. Seth comes over to me, pulling me into his arms. "Seth, what're you doing here? Sam will be furious."

"I don't care about Sam. I left his pack when he said we had to kill Bella." He replies. "We know they're plan, Leah left after he told her. They're going to be patrolling around the house, waiting for a time to attack." I gasp, covering my mouth in shock.

"And Embry?" Seth gives me a sad look.

"He's going through with it. But he's going out of his mind. He's not thinking straight. Sam doesn't want him near you, he's afraid he'll leave like the three of us did."

"He made his decision, and I made mine." I walk off, needing some time to myself. It's only been a couple of hours and already I can feel the imprint bond trying to pull us together. I can feel the tugging at my heart, my chest slightly throbbing. I glance down at my baby bump, and I curse when I feel more tears.

I had to do this. I tell myself. I have to protect Bella. She's my sister. Family comes first. I'll be fine.

Another short chapter, I know, I'm sorry. The next chapter will be longer, I promise. I hoped you guys liked it. Thanks for reading!
