Chapter 29: Dreams.

Gabriella's POV

I was running through the forest, I didn't know why, I didn't know where but all I knew was that I had to keep running. I heard a growl from behind and quickened my pace even more. Suddenly, all the trees disappeared and I found myself on top of a cliff.

I shivered as the cold wind blew against me, making goosebumps appear all over my body. I heard a twig snap and turned my head around. I saw a huge animal stepping, a beast. I noticed it as Wolfie, my wolf friend. But this time, he didn't look happy; the opposite to be exact. He walked over to me slowly and let out a ferocious growl; the anger was evident his big brown eyes. Those brown eyes looked somewhat familiar though; they looked human. And there was only one person I knew that had the same eyes as the giant wolf standing before me. My heartbeat set of in a galloping speed and I inched closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. I took a deep breath and tried to tell myself that everything was alright; Wolfie wasn't out to hurt me. I closed my eyes and tried to get my breathing back to normal. The growls stopped and I was hoping that he was gone.

I opened my eyes and gasped at the sight before me. It was Embry.

"Embry? What are you doing here?" I stuttered out. I felt small under his hard gaze.

"What do you think Gabriella? I'm here to save you. Don't you know how worried I was when I saw you running in the woods in the middle of the night?" he asked, his hard stare turning into a look or worry and sadness.

"How did you even see or hear me Embry? And what are you doing out here aswell?"

"That's none of your concern. I just want you to tell me why you are out here all by yourself."

"I go out sometimes at night to think; it's peaceful during the night. There are no noises or problems. But I heard an animal run after me so I lost my path and ran as fast as I could away. It was Wolfie; but he didn't look to happy with me."

There was silence after I said that. Embry looked so confused and worried about something.

"Embry, did you see Wolfie?"

He walked over to me and took my hand in his. "I need to tell you something Gab but I'm afraid of what'll happen when you do; I just got you back and I don't want to lose you again."

I reached up and stroked his cheek. He whimpered against my palm and I leaned my forehead against his. "You're not going to lose me again. I promise, no matter how bad it is, I'll stand by you."

He stood up straight and I looked up at him expectantly, waiting for him to tell me what was worrying him so much.

"Do you remember the old Quileute legends? You know about the cold ones and us being descendants from wolves?" he asked.

"Yeah, I remember them from the bonfire you took me to ages ago."

"Well... they're true Gab. Every single one of them."

I stared at him stunned; he couldn't possibly be telling the truth right?

"Embry, that isn't a fumy joke." I said, pulling my hands out if his and backing away.

"Gab, please. I\'m not trying to be funny or anything. Don't you see? Wolfie is me. Don't you notice how our eyes are the same? Or how me and the guys have high body temperatures?" he begged, grabbing my hands again.

I looked at him for a while, I didn't want to believe that it was true but I could see the sincerity burning in his eyes. And he did have a point; he did have the exact same eyes as Wolfie and he always felt warm .Then, everything suddenly clicked in my brain.
