Defending You
Sam POV
Once we made our way back I led the way towards Billy’s. “Why are we going to Billy’s? Sam please what’s going on?” Emily pleaded, but I ignored her.
Once there I entered without knocking. Everyone else was there waiting for us. “Emily we have something important to speak with everyone about” Billy informed. “He was already here” I said
“yes Sam you saw him earlier-” “no, Emily just saw him now in the field.” Billy tensed and turned towards Emily “Are you ok?” “yes, but I don’t understand what is going on.” Billy nodded his head
“That boy you saw is responsible for two deaths. Cary and a woman named Sharon.” Emily gasped “he killed them?” “that is what we think” Seth said from across the room.
“But why would he kill them?” Leah asked. “We aren’t sure” Jacob spoke up. “But I will be inviting him here so we can get some information out of him. I’ll be saying we’re welcoming him.” “do you think he’ll believe it?” Paul asked. “We can only hope he does” Billy said looking out the window sullenly.
Harry POV
The next day at school two boys came up to me when I was at my locker. “Hello im Jacob and this is Seth, we just wanted to welcome you to town and if you would like to come visit the Quileute tribe.”
I usually wasn’t one for for this type of thing but for some reason I felt it would be good. “Ok, maybe after school” I said. They both smiled widely “cool can’t wait to see you”. Then they left. ‘Strange’ I thought.
The rest of the day was pretty normal and I liked it that way. After school I got on my motorcycle and made my way towards the Quileute tribe.
Once there, I got of my motorcycle and made my way towards one of the small houses. As I made my way towards the house I noticed the girl from the field of flowers yesterday. She was watching me carefully, each move I made she watched.
I moved my gaze from her and continued on my way. Once at the door I knocked softly, a few seconds later the door opened and Jacob was standing in front me. “I’m so glad you decided to come over.” I didn’t reply and just followed him in.
A man in a wheelchair wheeled into the room and smiled at me. “Hello you must be Harry, my name is Billy” he said and brought up his hand to shake. I cautiously brought up my hand and shook with the man.
I could see the man shiver when my hand touched his. I let go quickly and just stood there waiting for something to happen. The door opened and a few other boys walked in. They each had tan skin and were each pretty muscular. But I already knew who they were. “Harry this is-” “Sam Uley, Paul Lahote, and Leah Clearwater. Yes I know who you are.”
They all froze “How do you know that?” A the girl from the field asked. She had come in through the back door, probably thinking she could sneak in. “Emily Young, how is it that you can turn into wolves?”
Along with everyone else she gasped in shock. She looked at the others standing behind me “it is genetic” she said. “Well congratulations” I said in in a bored tone.
“Tell us something about you” she said looking at me. “Unlike you who lives within a pack, I am one of kind, the only one.” “so you are all alone?” she asked.
“In a way” she looked down “it must be lonely” I nodded my head “it is” “that doesn't explain how you know our names” Sam demanded. I looked to him, he looked mad. I didn’t say anything and just turned back to Emily. I took a step towards her and I could tell the others were posed to attack, especially Sam.
Emily raised her hand though making them pause. I took another step “People think so poorly of me, they fear me and my entire being. I am something everyone fears, but yet some people strive to me.
But that does not mean I can not be good.” I was standing in front of her now “It troubles you, that I know” I brought my hand up to her face my hand starting to glow brightly. “Death is new beginnings, new life.
Do not be afraid.” I touched my glowing hand to Emily’s face. There was a bright light that illuminated the entire room. When it was gone I looked to Emily. Right where her scar used to be was soft, pure skin, there were no blemishes.
She brought her hand up to her face and felt it. Tears started running down her face “Thank you, thank you so much” she said. She made her way over to the others who were examining her. The distraction gave me ample time to leave, so I slowly faded into shadows traveling to my bike then teleporting away.
I don’t know what possessed me to do that. Maybe I felt bad for her, I don’t know. I exposed myself to them though, do I regret it, no. I felt good that someone knew what I was, or sort of was.
Jacob POV
When Harry had placed his glowing hand on Emily’s face all I wanted to do was attack him. I could tell that was what the others thought as well, but for some reason something was holding me back.
I tried to move, but all I could do was watch what was happening. When a bright light suddenly flooded the room I panicked. Was he hurting her like he hurt those other people.
Once the light was gone Emily started crying and I knew something bad had happened, but then she was running towards us a big smile on her face. Then it hit me, the scar on her face was gone.
Her skin was just as it used to be. Once she reached us I could move again and we were all moving towards her examining her face. Sam looked like he wanted to cry the moment he laid his eyes on her. “How..”
I was about to ask when I realized he wasn’t there. “He’s gone” I announced. Everyone turned where they were to see if it was true, but all they saw was empty space where the boy once stood. “what… how did he?” was all Sam could say as he ran his hand over Emily's cheek.
“He seems to be very powerful indeed. The magic he performed seemed to come from his very being.” Billy said in awe. “just because he did this doesn't mean he didn't kill those people” Leah announced. “He seems like a good person” Emily spoke up.
“just because he healed you doesn't make him a good person” Leah snapped back. “you are judging him to harshly, besides you have no proof he did anything.” “Why are you protecting him?” Leah just yelled back.
Tears started appearing in Emily's eyes but she didn't let them fall. “ever heard of innocent until proven guilty” Emily said as she pulled away from Sam and let the house.
