End of Part 23
"I heard everyone talking about leaving, and I was wondering do bạn think I could go see my family before we left..if we have to leave?" I asked.
"Emmett, this is the hardest part of being one of us. I'm sorry, bạn can't go back. Not now...not ever. Unfortunately your family thinks bạn are dead." He đã đưa ý kiến quietly.
"They..They think I'm dead?" I whispered.
"Yes, Edward went to them and told them that your body was in town. That bạn were mauled bởi a chịu, gấu and the body had been brought here to be identified. I'm so sorry Emmett." Carlisle đã đưa ý kiến as he reached over to place his hand on my arm.
I was thinking about what I had just learned when I heard Esme and Rosalie walking into the house. I looked up at her with the tim, trái tim breaking sadness in my eyes.
She took me away from my family, and now they all thought I was dead. I didn't know why but I had to get away from all of them, my family was probably mourning me. My brothers, sisters and parents...as far as they knew I was dead. I wouldn't get to tell them how sorry I was, that I didn't mean all the horrible things I told my father.
I stood up and ran out the door, running back into the woods as fast as I could. Ignoring all the people who were yelling hoặc turning away from me. Running away from the person I cared about, away from the monsters who did this to me...and hopefully towards my family so I could explain everything to them.
Part 24
I ran as fast as I could, knowing that they would not let me get far without trying to stop me. I didn't care what they did, I wanted to see my family and these people were not going to stop me. How could they tell my family that I was dead? They đã đưa ý kiến they wanted me to be a part of their "family" but why would they do that?!
I was about half way to the farmstead when I heard someone running behind me. I knew that they were catching me and tried to run faster, but when I accelerated the sound of footsteps just got closer.
I knew that they wouldn't let me get home, my anger building to the point where I didn't remember who I was. I stopped where I was and turned on the person behind me, a sound coming out of my throat that was foreign and frightening.
"Emmett, it's me." Edward đã đưa ý kiến as he stopped about 10 feet from me.
"GO AWAY!" I yelled, my body crouching down and I realized I was about to fight and didn't care if it it meant I could get to my family.
"Emmett, bạn can't go back. bạn remember how bạn reacted earlier when bạn mùi, nấu chảy ra the woman in town?" He asked as he slowly took a step towards me.
"STOP THERE EDWARD!" I đã đưa ý kiến as I took a step back.
Remembering how the woman had smelt, how good her scent was and how inviting the pulse of her veins made me want to get closer.
"EMMETT!! bạn need to stop thinking about that, I brought that up so that bạn could see that bạn could hurt hoặc kill your own family." He đã đưa ý kiến as he held his hands out in front of him, to hiển thị he wasn't going to come any closer.
"I would never hurt anyone I love." I đã đưa ý kiến softly.
"I don't doubt that, I can hear your thoughts. bạn want to go to them and tell them bạn are still alive. That is understandable, but stop and think what they will think when they see you." He đã đưa ý kiến planting the thoughts in my mind.
I did what he suggested, I thought about running out of the woods to the house and seeing my family. Would they recognize me? With my new pale skin, the way I carried myself, and the eyes that I had noticed earlier in the mirror. I know they would be happy I was alive, that much I was sure but how would they react to seeing me alive after they had began grieving over me?
"Exactly. I'm so sorry Emmett." Edward đã đưa ý kiến as he took a step closer to me.
I walked over and punched the cây phong, maple cây that was closest to me. The cây shook and then fell landing with a loud thud. I looked at my hand remembering when I was in the vựa, chuồng trại, barn at the house and punched the wall, how my hand had probably been broken and now I just hit a cây and broke it and my hand felt fine.
I walked over to the fallen cây and sat down. My mind was going too fast, the thoughts of my mother and fathers faces. I knew that he was right, I couldn't go home. But...could I go and see them from a distance?
"Edward. I understand what bạn are telling me and I agree to a point. I know that I can't go home, I can't let them see me but do bạn think we could get close enough to see them and not let them see us?" I asked.
"Interesting, I see what bạn mean. Well everyone else will be here in a second, we can ask them then." He said.
A một phút hoặc two later Carlisle and Esme came walking into the area. Edward and I were sitting on the cây talking, I noticed that Rose wasn't with them.
"Edward?" Carlisle asked as he and Edward exchanged a few looks. I was very sure that Carlisle was asking các câu hỏi in his thoughts and Edward was listening.
"Yes Carlisle. We have talked about all of that." Edward explained.
"Emmett dear, please understand. We never meant to hurt you, we were just trying to make this all easier." Esme đã đưa ý kiến as she walked over and hugged me gently.
"I know, I'm sorry I ran off. Where's Rosalie?" I asked suddenly sad because I must have hurt her feelings bởi being so inconsiderate.
"Rosalie will be along in a second, we went ahead of her to find you." Carlisle đã đưa ý kiến as I heard footsteps approaching.
I stood up and walked over to where she would come out. As soon as I saw her face I instantly felt horrible, I had hurt her. She saved me and how do I repay her?
"Rosalie I'm so sorry." I đã đưa ý kiến as I looked down at my feet.
"Emmett." She đã đưa ý kiến as she walked over and hugged me tightly. She used her right hand to pull my face back up to her level. She smiled at me as she rose on her toes to Kiss me.
I realized at that moment that I was in tình yêu with this woman. I had hurt her and her family, yet they all came out to find me and make sure that I was ok and didn't hurt my family. Yet when she saw me she wanted to comfort me and that meant thêm then anything in the world.
Our Kiss began to get a bit too intense, my hands moving up and down her back as her hands knotted in my áo sơ mi and held me close to her.
Someone cleared their throat and someone else laughed quietly. I kissed her one thêm time before grinning and turning back to the rest of the family.
"Oops." I said.
"That's one way of saying it." Edward đã đưa ý kiến as he laughed again.
"Emmett, I believe bạn wanted to talk to Carlisle about your idea?" He asked as he stood up to let Rosalie and Esme sit on the tree.
I turned back to look at their faces, how could I think they were monsters? All of the caring, concerned people who looked thêm like something from a painting then the monsters that I had imagined while running.I took a deep breath before turning to face Carlisle and hopefully convincing them that I could see my family from a distance, for what could be the last time.
