Midnight Sun ❖ (Embry Call - The Twilight Saga)

33

EMBRY STOOD BESIDE JARED facing the Black's house whilst Sam spoke with Billy. He was being informed about what Jacob had done, leaving the pack. Embry's face was blank, he didn't know what to feel. He just wanted everything to go back to normal. He knew deep down that the separation between he and Gracie was not good for him, in fact, there was something in his system that made him feel sick about being away from her for so long. 

Not a moment later, Paul joined the pack, whispering something in Sam's ear. 

"Bella's dead." Sam announced, then looking to his pack. "Let's go."

Embry jogged beside them, his heart feel weird almost as if he could feel Gracie's pain. He knew how this was going to end and he knew how Gracie was going to feel. Embry wished he could stop all of it, do something to change a fraction of the future. Something to make Gracie happy again. But as long as he was stuck in Sam's pack, he had no other choice but to follow orders. Right now, he envied Jacob. Envied Seth and Leah, for leaving.

Gracie cried, her hand brushing over Bella's face refusing to believe she wasn't alive anymore. Edward had been giving CPR for a solid ten minutes now and that was clearly not working at all. 

"I don't know if this will work..." Edward's voice cracked trying to push away tears. 

Gracie looked over to him, not sure what he meant. It was just the two of them in this room now, the only two who refused to believe that Bella was gone. Edward pulled out a syringe from the drawer, a silvery liquid inside. 

"What is it?" Gracie asked, he hand leaving Bella's hair alone finally. She wiped away her tears in an attempt to control herself. 

Edward plunged the syringe into Bella's heart and injected the substance into her body. "It's my venom."

From that point on, Gracie prayed it would work. She no longer cared about this whole vampire v.s. the wolves. She only wanted the people she cared about alive and well. Edward took the empty syringe out, throwing it across the room before he began biting her, over and over all along her body. Gracie stepped back, letting him try every possible way he could think of to save her. Gracie watched Edward. She knew exactly what Jacob's personality was like, but now Gracie was learning more about her best friend's husband. He was fighting for her life. 

"Is it working?" Gracie said, swallowing a gulp of sadness away. 

Edward took a breath, looking out of the sliding doors behind her. "We have to give it a chance to spread, other than that I don't know." 

Gracie sighed, taking one last look at her best friend's body which lay lifeless on the table. Her bones were so evident through her skin which was so pale. Suddenly, Alice and Jasper entered the room. 

"They're here!" 

The four of them ran outside, watching as the wolves appeared in front of their home. This was it, the moment Gracie had been so afraid of. They were here to kill Renesmee. Gracie spotted Embry who was cowering in the back, clearly not wanting to be in any part of this fight. The only problem was Sam. His black fury face showed such hatred and viciousness. In fact, it scared her so much. 

"We're outnumbered." Jasper announced to Edward.

"By a lot." Alice continued, looking at them all in front of her. 

The more Gracie looked the more she noticed how there seemed to be a couple extra wolves, possibly new young one's transformed which they had certainly not anticipated. 

Edward looked like a nervous wreck, with bled all over him. "I won't let them hurt my family!"

That was when the battle had begun. The wolves started to attack the vampires whilst they in return fought them off. Gracie took a step back, almost guarding the doors. She knew they're rule was to never harm an imprint, but she was still scared of the possibility of being ripped apart. Leah soon joined the fight, attacking Paul who only Gracie knew that she'd been waiting to do for a long time. Gracie relaxed, her arm wrapping around Seth who joined her side. He didn't want to fight them unless absolutely necessary, therefore there he stood in his wolf form protecting Gracie. 

After a couple of minutes fighting, Jacob bounded out. 

"Stop! It's over! If you kill her, you kill me." Jacob yelled at them all. 

Sam went to attack him, only allowing for Jacob to phase. Jacob's wolf form rose tall above Sam, the others lowering themselves. 

"Jacob imprinted." Edward began to speak. "They can't hurt her. Whoever a wolf imprints on can't be harmed. It's their most absolute law."

Gracie was almost in shock. After all that turmoil between Bella, Edward and Jacob it turns out that Renesmee is his soulmate?! Sam backed off, along with everyone else. Embry stood still. His face was fixed on Gracie. She knew he didn't want to leave her again, he wanted to stay put. To stay with Seth, Leah and Jacob - but most importantly to wrap himself around Gracie and never let her go. 

But that moment didn't last forever. 

Sam growled deeply and angrily toward Embry, forcing him to back away and follow him. Gracie wanted to cry, though she had no more tears left in her system. She watched Embry slowly walk away, inch by inch. He took five steps forward and stopped, his wolf eyes taking one last look at her before he disappeared amongst the trees of the night. 

Edward looked to Gracie, along with Jacob and Seth. Gracie solely kept her eyes on the treeline, almost like she was expecting something else to happen. They Cullen's began to head back inside to where Bella was. Seth and Leah re-phased, joining Jacob's side to which he held his hand on Gracie's shoulder in comfort. 

They were about to head inside, when something turned their heads. 

It was a howl. Not a calling howl, but a howl out of misery. You could hear the pain of the wolf cry. You could tell that it belonged to Embry Call, the only one that truly felt torn amongst everyone in his pack.
