Chapter 6 I’M AN IMMORTAL

Ethan is still not talking to Emily because of what happened, he has decided to go touring with his family to Ireland.

While he has been away, Nathan has become great friends with Claire, Margaret and Daniel. Emily an eye on Nathan she has noticed a pattern as Nathan skips school every Thursday and Friday and that the guy Mark visits him every Wednesday before Nathan disappears. ‘’ Hey guys, I have noticed a pattern that Nathan has been skipping school quite a lot’’ says Emily in a soft tone ‘’ Aww, Emily misses her Boyfriend’’ smirks Claire, Margaret added ‘’Em, why are you stocking him so much? I am sure there is a perfectly good reason to stop sticking your nose in’’. ‘’ Yes, listen to the girls. Emily stops interfering’’ agreed Daniel. Er, I am not interfering!’’, Exclaimed Emily with embarrassment.

While sitting in class, Emily thought,‘’ Everyone thinks I am always sticking my nose in, say Nathan is in trouble I will drop by and see if he is ok’’.

The following morning Emily’s mother walked into her bedroom as it was getting late, and she knew Emily always had to be early, especially to school. Still, Emily had decided to take a day of school and see what Nathan was really up to, ‘’Emily, it’s 7.30 you will miss registration’’ yelled Mrs Stone ‘’ Mum, I don’t feel very well. I think I’ll stay home if that’s ok’’ pretended Emily. ‘’ Emily, If you not well, stay in bed. I could try and stay with you, but I am leading a heart operation today,’’ said Mrs Stone in a sympathetic manner. ‘’ NO, Mum, you can’t miss that you go. I will be fine’’ said Emily. Mrs stone kissed her daughter on the forehead then left for work. Emily had even slept in her clothes as she didn’t want to waste any time. Emily dropped by the local

store to get Nathan a few things, then made her way to Nathan’s house she had a feeling in her stomach telling her she should not do this, but she ignored it and went on. Emily got to Nathan’s front gate she was about to go in when she saw Nathan talking to Mark ‘’ Nathan, the lab will be cleared and everybody will be out by the time you get there and the cameras will be turned off, understand’’ Nathan shook his head in agreement. Emily, who was hiding behind a wall she heard everything ‘’what is he up to, and what does he mean the lab will be cleared’’ Emily whispered to herself.

Nathan and Mark went out of sight, Emily crept up to the boot of Nathan’s jeep and climbed in to hide. A few moments later, the front door opened, and Nathan walked out, got into his jeep and drove away ‘’where are we going’’ Emily mumbled as she was squashed between Nathans’s sports bag and a few other things. Nathan drove out of Darthwood and made his way to Seattle after driving for a while, he finally arrived at the laboratory; he parks his car gets out and walks towards the building. Emily lifts her head slightly to see out of the rear window ‘’what the hell is he doing’’ she asks herself. She waited until Nathan went in then followed him. Emily is walking down a corridor, looking into every room to see if she can find Nathan but cannot see anything she is looking for a light switch; she hears a noise and hides behind a shelf filled with potions and acids. She takes a glace and can see Nathan taking his shirt off he then lifts a glass bottle and starts injecting himself with serum, he picks up a scalpel and cuts his throat wide open.

Meanwhile, back in Darthwood, Claire, Margaret, and Daniel are sitting in Registration waiting to see if Emily arrives before the first period. ‘’she is never this late’’ says an anxious Margaret ‘’ Maybe she went to see her boy’’ jokes Claire ‘’ this is the first time Emily has been late to school maybe something happened to her on the way here’’ says Daniel with images of Emily in his

head ‘’she could lying dead in a ditch somewhere’’. States Daniel, ‘’look, we have to go at least and see if she is ok’’ says Claire ‘’but we can’t skip class’’ adds a worried Margaret. After lunch, the three decide to ditch French as they find it very dull and head straight to Emily’s house ‘’ have you tried calling her

Claire’’ says Daniel ‘’, ‘’ have I called her, have I called her, hmm let me think of course I have bloody called her it was the first thing I did before we left’’. Says Claire. They arrive at Emily’s front door and ring the bell, but no answer ‘’ tries her phone again’’ said Margaret, who was standing shivering as it was cold, ‘’ No, goes straight to voicemail’’.

Still hiding behind the shelf, Emily watches Nathan bleed out she rushes over to him and tries to stop the blood, but it doesn’t work. Suddenly Nathan comes back to life. Emily screams, and he covers her mouth ‘’ sshhh, how the hell did you get here, Emily? The door was locked’’ shouts Nathan ‘’ Wh, what the hell am I doing here? What about you? What just happened’’ shrieks a scared Emily.

‘’Look, Em, I can’t say, I don’t even know where to start explaining,’’ says a panicky Nathan. ‘’ I am going to tell everyone what I just saw, you’re a monster, Nathan Cruise,’’ says Emily as she runs for the door but stopped in her tracks by Nathan ‘’ I won’t let you do that’’ says Nathan with his hands on the door blocking her exit. ‘’ alright I’ll tell you but please don’t tell anyone of this secret’’. ‘’ I Promise’’ says a terrified Emily. They both sit on the ground and Nathan starts telling her ‘’ if you must know I have this thing were I can live forever I can never die or decay I a…. I am…. I’m an Immortal.
