A/N: It's been awhile I know... But I'm back! I'm grateful for all the reviews and I apologise for the long delay! I hope y'all will still give the second chapter a try, byeeeeeeh.
* Chapter Two *
Harry felt gloomy as they arrived home. Lucky for him though, his uncle had only grunted at him and Dudley had been too preoccupied by his new video game to pay him any unwanted attention. Petunia as always played the 'he doesn't exist' card so the car ride had gone fairly well.
But as soon as they got home he was forced into his room. As he sat by the window, looking in the direction towards London, he already felt like he'd lost something. He missed that huge bundle of muscles that he'd only briefly gotten to talk to. But Emmett had made a lasting impression on him. He was very attractive in a cuddly, bear like fashion. Harry couldn't wait to hear from him again, but at the same time it felt like he tricked himself. He knew Emmett were to travel back to America in a few days and Harry didn't think that his relatives was keen on going to London twice in a week.
As Harry saw the sun set he'd wished he'd had someone to talk to about this. It was complicated being a teenager was his last thoughts before his feverish body complied with the darkness that swept him into a deep sleep.
****00****00*****
The next day Harry was feeling much better. It was around 07.30 and he'd to get up to make the daily batch of breakfast. A couple of hours later he was left alone in the house. Harry went to the kitchen trying to find some food that he could eat without anyone noticing. He found some old cereal but that was a treat for him. It neared 2 o'clock and he hoped to hear from Emmett. His stomach was filling with butterflies every minute that went by and as soon as the clock hit 2 the phone rang.
''H-hello?'' Harry asked uncertain hoping that it would be Emmett.
''It's Harry right?'' Emmett asked even though he'd recognised the voice immediately.
''Emmett?'' Harry asked with a chuckle, knowing full well it was him.
''The one and only!'' Emmett joked and so they talk until the clock was nearing 4.
''I wish to see you again before I leave..'' Emmett said, hoping that Harry would say that it would be possible; but there was only silence.
''Harry?'' Emmett asked a bit uncertainly, he hoped he wasn't to forward.
''I would like that too.. But w-''
''Why not?'' Emmett asked pouting on the other end of the line.
''Because my relatives aren't the most flexible of people, they'd never let me leave even if it's for a couple of hours.'' Harry admitted.
''Are they the ones that slapped you?'' Emmett asked with a dark voice, he knew of course that that was the case but he had to ask.
Harry was gobsmacked for a second, how'd he know?!
''I heard you.. Vampire hearing you know?'' Emmett admitted sheepishly. He didn't want to freak Harry out but he wanted to help.
Harry chuckled softly at the confession before answering.
''It's complicated but .. Yes, I guess you understand why I can't leave?'' It was no point in going around the obvious, Emmett knew.
''I'll come get you, what's the address?'' Emmett asked but before Harry could answer he heard uncle Vernon's car.
''I've got to go..'' And then there was silence. Harry rushed up to his room forgetting the bowl of cereal by the phone. Shit.
****00****00*****
Emmett had a bad feeling in his gut. He had to trace the call.
''FAMILY MEETING NOW!'' Emmett roared and in a matter of second the Cullen coven was gathered in the small hotel room. Emmett had already gone over how he'd met Harry, how he was his mate and so on so forth.
''I need to find Harry's home address, well his relatives, something is wrong.'' Before Emmett even had the chance to explain Edward already knew and was searching on the computer.
''What's going on?'' Alice asked nervously as she kneeled before Emmett.
''You know how I told y'all bout someone hurting Harry? Well our suspicions were right. His relatives are the problem and I have this gut feeling that something is about to happen.''
''Carlisle was already getting the cars ready to go and as soon as Edward shouted that he'd found it they were on their way to Surry. But Emmett was already half way there.
****00****00*****
''YOU'RE STEALING OUR FOOD NOW ARE YOU?" Uncle Vernon screamed as he towered over a his nephew.
''Well it's not like you give me any food to eat!'' Harry yelled back in defence. He may be abused and frighten, but he'd battled Voldemort and he was far worse then Vernon. Then again, he didn't have his magic to shield himself from Vernons wrath; why? Some sort of barrier Dumbledore made to make sure the Dursleys would feel more comfortable around Harry. Yeah right.
Harry received one of the hardest blows to his face so far for that comment, all Harry could think was that it had been worth it.
''Don't get smart with me you ungrateful little shit!'' Vernon grunted as he laid another kick on the boy.
''We only agreed to let you live hear for the money! And until the money ain't coming no more we're stuck with you! And until then YOU. WILL. OBEY. ME!'' Vernon yelled as he repeatedly kick Harrys bruised ribs.
Harry thought about all the money his parents had entrusted Dumbledore to build a good life for Harry but so far Harry couldn't see how this was a good investment.
Before Harry could dwell more on his pathetic life Vernon was flown to the other side of the room. Harry felt himself being lift up gently in to a pair of cold arms. Arms he recognised instantly.
''Emmett? H-how..''
''I told you I'd come and get you.'' Emmett said as he smiled softly at the bruised angel in his arms. A beautiful smile was returned and before you knew it, they were in the car on their way back to London. Emmett had gotten a taxi, so he and Harry could have some privacy for an hour or two undisturbed.
''How much are you hurting?'' Emmett asked as he gently placed Harry in the car.
''Not all that much, I mean I was already kind of soar to begin with. But my head hurts. '' Harry admitted. He didn't feel too bad but not too god either.
''We'll get you fixed up in no time. But before we leave, do you have anything you'd like to bring with you? We didn't find much in your ... Room?'' He explained it like a question because to him that wasn't a room.
''No, I'm fine, most of my stuff are already gone.'' Harry said a bit sad at the fact. Then again he had the most valuable of possessions in his magically expanded pouch. Emmett ground at the news but only nodded in acknowledgement.
He let his family deal with the Dursleys as he took Harry to their hotel room. His mate was finally safely in his arms and god knows how good that felt.
****00****00*****
They decided to met up at the hotel again. Carlisle and Esme had rushed to the closest store and bought food, medical kits and some comfortable cloths for the little human to wear. Rosalie and Edward was looking into the legal aspect of their 'kidnapping' to ensure that Harry would remain safe at all times. Then there was Jasper who was trying his best to keep his mate from doing back flips of excitement. Rosalie was becoming more and more annoyed. The situation was a case of child abuse which Alice seemed to completely by pass.
Edward who could read his mates thoughts was agreeing whole heartedly. He knew of his mates past and knew that she was taking it far more serious than any of them could every imagine. Edward already knew that Harry had taken a soft spot in Rosalie's heart, not out of pity but compassion.
Edward hugged his mate to his side, kissing the top of her head as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear. It seemed to calm her down enough to block out Alice for awhile.
Esme and Carlisle returned momentarily with a couple of bags. And as soon as they had found a place for everything the boys of the hour walked in. Well Emmett walked with a pouting teen in his arms.
''Can you check him?'' He asked as calmly as he could, directed at Carlisle. With a nod received he placed his mate on the nearest bed. Harry was looking around at the vampires surrounding him. He was nervous so without thinking it he grabbed the back of Emmett's shirt to keep him near. Emmett found it adorable but didn't comment on it.
''Hi Harry, My name Carlisle. Can you tell me where you're hurting?'' Harry fidgeted nervously, looking between Emmett and his father before taking a deep breath.
Emmett saw how uncomfortable he was in this situation and with a stern look Edward and the others cleared the room and disappeared to God knows where.
''Uhm.. My head hurts a bit and my muscles are a bit soar but otherwise I'm fine sir.'' Harry answered. He didn't want to bother them but he knew that hiding his discomfort was only going to make things a lot harder at the moment.
''No need for such formalities, you may call me Carlisle.'' Harry nodded with a small smile as he watch him take a bottle of pills from his bag.
''These should be good, but if you feel any discomfort you have to tell me.'' Carlisle said as he gave them to him with a glass of water. Harry nodded once more and downed the pills and the water.
Harry had yet to release Emmett from his clutches making the older teen chuckle. Harry looked up in confusion and then at the hand that was gripping the shirt loosely yet firm. He immediately let go of the shirt and felt his cheeks heat up. Emmett then sat himself down beside the now flushing teen, laying an arm around the teens waist comfortably and waited for the rest of the family to come back; knowing that Carlisle had already called for them. Harry slowly relaxed into the position, smiling up at the vampire that had made feelings he'd never encountered before start to suffice after such a short amount of time.
And there they sat for what felt like hours. Introductions where made, food was presented, they talked and talked about everything and nothing at the same time. Harry had already started taking a liking towards the rest of the family and before he knew it he was falling in to a sweet slumber in the arms of Emmett.
Emmett watched Harry fall asleep whilst stroking his hair softly. Emmett had never felt so happy in his entire life and knew that this was only the begging of a life time.
''He is something entirely different isn't he? Magic, dark lords; betrayal.. Yet he is so caring and sweet.'' Carlisle commented with a smile. They had gotten to know a lot about the selfless teen and Carlisle was impressed as much as he was intrigued.
''He is amazing.'' Was Emmett's only answered. He couldn't take his eyes of the beauty beside him. Harry was something else alright but he was Emmett's and he couldn't fantom a life without his 'chosen one'.
''I can't believe he's been able to stay so humble and forgiving after all he's been through.'' Jasper said as he thought about his past. He'd become bitter and paranoid whilst Harry stayed kind and almost naive.
''He has the eye to see the good in something others might not and that is an extraordinary trait. But it can also be a weakness.'' Carlisle said with a thoughtful expression.
Emmett blocked out the rest of the conversation as he cuddled with his mate. He was so happy and nothing was every going to take this happiness away.
...Or so he thought.
