Chapter 1:
You know guys, I have a theory. Leah muttered softly. All the boys in the pack shot their heads at her, annoyed. But Leah didn't care. She was dead serious about this one.
The whole pack was patrolling, and by the whole pack, literally meant both. They hadn't merged packs yet, but she knew it would be soon. And when it did happen, Leah would cause Hell.
You know how I'm the only girl in Quileute history to be a wolf? they all nodded. And you know, I was always good at science in school. They nodded their heads, slower this time. You guys know about evolution and stuff? Well I think I'm part of a new race. In real wolf packs, there's always an alpha female. Well maybe whoever destined me to be a wolf, unless I really am a genetic mix up, and a dude inside a girl's body, had a reason. Maybe after me, there might be an alpha female in every pack. I'm pretty sure I can't still have kids still, but maybe the females are supposed to be the leaders, and the guys the warriors, since there are more of you than me. Maybe there's a reason that we need to be a stronger pack, and having me in it is the key. You know, with Jacob imprinted on a different species in all no offence, we may need more protection. And then you know how you guys imprint? And how it makes stronger wolves? Well maybe the females are already strong enough, so they don't need it. I have more, but I'm going to stop now 'cause I can see your getting bored. She concluded with a small wolf smile. The wolves had blank looks on their faces.
You really are a selfish bitch you know that? Only thinking about you. Paul thought. Instead of snapping at him like he anticipated (and wanted), Leah just blinked at him.
It's just a theory you know. I never said it was so absolutely true. Don't think on it too much. It was hard to believe when I thought about it too. She thought, completely calm. She always wanted to be biologists, and everyone had their theories knocked down once in a while right?
"Where did that even come from?" Sam thought curiously. Leah frowned as much as a wolf could.
"I was watching the Discovery Channel about wolves, and then the wolves were mating or something. Then Carlisle said something about going to the hospital, and then Edward said studying, and then Renesmee said evolution was really cool cause some really weird monkey thing called Australopithecus was on TV-"
"Okay we get it. How do you know all this stuff?" Jared thought. Leah wolfy shrugged.
"I love biology. The big words make me feel smart." She chuckled. So did everyone else. Seth paused. So did everyone else, except Leah.
"Bye Leah! You're on patrol!" they all thought at the same time before phasing out. She barely had time to say okay.
Leah continued patrol, wondering why everyone phased out so fast. And why did she have to patrol anyway?
Leah was on patrol for almost 8 hours. She was exausted. Usually there were two people on patraol, so she had to run one way, then turn abruplty another route a few times. It was dark out too, which made things more difficult. Dizzying too. She was tired too. Soon she was tripping over her own feet and falling too. Hours later (which meant it was almost 7 in the morning) Embry phased in, his thoughts shaking. He tried to hide some thoughts, but Leah got glimspes.
Can't believe I agreed to that… What's Leah going to think?... She probably so tired… Using her… If she sees Seth…
Leah was getting weird images of the pack at… was that a club? Dancing around and having what seemed like the time of their lives. She got glimpses of shot glasses, weird lights, and girls coming to grope on the wolves. Someone was passed out in a VIP booth, and Paul was the DJ. What was going on?
What the hell did he mean using her?
Embry? She thought tiredly.
Oh… uh… h-hey Leah… I figured you'd l-leave already… he stuttered/thought. Can you even stutter in your thoughts?
What are you thinking about? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I just saw Sam doing the Thriller on a dance floor.
Nothing.
Embry I'm serious. What are you not telling me?
He took a shuddering breath from where ever he was. Which looked a lot like the woods in Seattle…
Well… the uh the pack has been thinking a bit… and we wanted to go to a party… umm… without you.
What does that have to do with me?
Sam uh… put you on patrol so you couldn't follow us… and we went to Seattle. Then uh… everybody else said that you wanted to be like a girl again… err… so uh, this was like staying home and protecting the kids… Paul said that… I feel horrible about it Lee I didn't want to. I know your really tired for running 4 patrols last night so- Leah?
Leah had abruptly put up her shield so no one could read her thoughts when phased, or when the mind rapper Edward wouldn't read her thoughts during her visits. Alice Cullen taught her. In fact, Leah Rosalie, Alice, and Renesmee (who looked like she was about 17 and was gorgeous) were almost inseparable. Leah and Emmet could be friends without occasionally ripping each other's throats out. Her shield was nowhere near as strong and supernatural as Bella's, but she could make her mind blank from years of practice. Right then, Embry knew she hadn't phased out, but couldn't hear her BEYOND negative thoughts.
Fuming, she phased out and stumbled to her Weeping Willow in the center of the woods. She grabbed her fall orange sun dress, slipping on her undergarments and the dress before running towards the Cullen Mansion human. Even after almost 10 hours (before the boys phased out, they had been running for four hours.) she could still run with the speed of a medium fast vampire. When she'd race Edward, he would only win by 2 minutes. It was incredible, the feeling of jumping above fallen branches like hurdles, and dodging trees. It was like her High School track team.
When she arrived, she tripped and stumbled towards the living room. Sitting on the floor were Emmet and Jasper playing Halo, Rosalie and Alice lounging on the couch shopping online with a laptop, Renesmee was in the kitchen with Esme, Bella was with Edward on the piano. Carlisle, Leah could hear, was in his study reading. She let the turning pages of the book calm her down.
Emmet shifted his head towards her. "Hey she wolf!" he roared.
Leah laughed and rolled her eyes. "Hey Rose, can I take a shower? I'm not going home anytime soon." she muttered with disgust.
"Leah? What did the pack make you do?" Edward yelped. Leah wide eyed, shot her eyes towards Edward.
"Mind rapper, this is not the time. I need a shower, and I'm tired. Patrolling for almost… well all night and morning can do that to you… and I-" her breathing hitched. As she spoke, her eyes were lulling closed. The floor got closer and closer, and everything went black.
When she woke up, she was in the guest room. The comfortable sea foam green comforter was soft, and the pillows made her feel as if she was on a cloud. She sat up, and noticed a note, a glass of water a Tylenol on the bedside table. She picked up the note. She glanced over it. The handwriting was a bit swirly, and it reminded her of a font on a computer. She began to read.
'Considering you have a killer headache from hitting your head on the floor, here's some 's some clothes in the guest bathroom that Esme got you. When you wake up, your telling me what happened bitch.'
Rosalie
Leah laughed softly. It was just like her best friend to be kind and polite, but to be an Ice Queen at the same time. She looked out the window and saw that it was nearly dark out. She took the Tylenol and shuffled towards the bathroom. She nearly moaned in appreciation.
The floor was a white tile, with light blue walls. The bath tub was a cream color, and it had jets on the side. She made sure to remember to turn those on later. There were cabinets above the sink, which was also a cream color. Sitting on top of the side of the sink were faded blue jeans and a gray t-shirt. Next to them were peach undergarments.
She laughed, before running the bath water. Turning it on its hottest temperature, she ran her hands through her hair. She really needed to wash it. She looked around, before opening the cabinet doors to find green apple scented shampoo, conditioner, and bubbles. She giggled, and poured a bit in the tub. Swirling the water a bit, she stripped and turned off the water. When she got in and was comfortable, she held up breathe and went under.
About an hour later, Leah felt as good as new. She had brushed her hair, and pulled it into a sloppy ponytail. Her skin felt extremely soft as she rubbed cocoa butter on it. She looked in the mirror after getting dressed. Her plump lips had a tint of red to the pink. Her "cute button nose" as had Sam called it was surprisingly not flared. Her piercing hazel eyes had a blank look to them, which scarred Leah a bit. Her caramel colored skin looked great for the first time in months. They had that lively glow to them again. Her dark hair was cut in a pixie cut, but it was getting longer. She'd have to ask Alice to cut it later. Half smiling at the mirror, she said,
"You're always beautiful." She was just trying to convince herself. She'd done that a lot lately.
As she walked down the hall, she gazed at the pictures of Carlisle with the Volturi. Cocking her head to the side, she watched all their faces. She glanced at a new painting. There was the gaurd in the background, with two little midgest that made her laugh. But what really caught her attention was a man hidden in the shadows. His hair was a bit shaggy, and his eyes were bright red, but overall, attractive. She whistled in appreciation. She could've sworn that painting winked at her.
She jumped when a cold hand wrapped around her upper arm and tugged. She gasped when she found herself in Rosalie and Emmet's room. She knew better than to look around, because it always brought a red tint to her cheeks. In the room were Nessie, Alice and Rosalie. They had a look on their faces that screamed "spill."
"What did the pack of mutts make you do? And don't sugar coat it." Rose snapped quickly when she realized Leah wasn't spilling her guts like she expected her too.
Leah rolled her eyes and sighed. "The pack… besides me went clubbing. When they went out last night, they put me on patrol all night. While they were having a good time, and put me on patrol so I couldn't follow them. It's nothing; they just wanted to get away from me." She explained in a calm voice.
"And what did Seth say about it? Jacob?" Nessie asked.
"They agreed to the whole damn thing." Leah growled. She never thought about it like that… Now she's pissed.
"JACOB BLACK!" Nessie screeched. She stormed out the room and down the hall. Leah quickly grabbed her by the shoulders and hauled her into the room.
"Calm down would you? It's not a big deal. You would want to get away from me too if I was at you house all the ti-" she stopped quickly when she realized she was over their house all the time. Renesmee raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Why don't we go clubbing? Just us girls?" Alice suggested.
"I don't think-" Leah began.
"Yeah! We can finally give Wolf Bitch a makeover!" she turned to Leah "Cause honey you need it." She said with a grimace.
Offended, Leah snorted.
"I still don't think this is a good idea Ice Bitch." Leah said. Rosalie huffed and rolled her eyes. This had been going on for about 2 years. Ever since they had really talked to each other, they had permanently used Ice Bitch and Wolf Bitch as nicknames.
Flashback:
Leah grumpily sat on the lawn as she watched Bella play with her demon child, Renesmee.
It just wasn't fair.
They thought she couldn't get pregnant, but she was. Now she was frozen forever, with her demon kid, living happily ever after. Leah guessed some Evil Freaks (cough Bella cough) could get one. Leah, wasn't that lucky.
"Hey Wolf Bitch!" she heard a bell like noise screeched. Leah's head shot towards the river, where Rosalie Cullen was waving at. Leah smirked.
"What?" she yelled as if she was annoyed.
"Would get off the property?! We don't need more mutts over here other than Jacob. You stink like dead, dying dog." Rosalie yelled. Leah froze, her fist clenched at her sides. No one ever called her a mutt. That one was new. She knew she wasn't welcome here, she wasn't welcome anywhere. Tears stung at her eyes, but she fought them back by yelling.
"Considering I'm a pureblood bitch (and just in case you don't know, that's a female dog)" Leah screamed, applying the last part with quotients wither her fingers "that doesn't apply to me, does it Ice Bitch?" Leah snapped. She saw red, but under the haze, she saw the blonde vampire smile softly, before replace it with a scowl.
"Whoa wait!" she heard the pixie yell. Leah's head turned to see a seething midget marching towards her, hands on her hips.
"Yeeeash?" Leah asked, leaning back on the warm grass, closing her eyes.
"Why don't I get a nickname?!" Alice screeched.
"You're already Pixie Midget in my head." Leah whispered. "I just never said it aloud 'cause California Howdy would probably be on my ass."
Leah suddenly felt a warm breeze and a whoosh, and she was on a bed, her eyes wide open, looking around her.
"WHAT THE HELL!" she screamed. Alice and Rosalie were looking at her critically whispering comments to eachother. She looked around. They were in a very nice bedroom, with white carpet with a warm brown bedspread with a King sized bed. There was a TV, gaming system and stuff like that. There was a lot of clothes in the closet though. And it stunk like California Howdy and Pixie Leech. This was Alice and Jasper's bedroom.
She stood up to leave, she was sick of this house, but Rosalie pushed her down gently.
"Leah, tell me something. Do you hate us?" Rosalie asked.
Leah scowled shaking her head.
"No."
"Do you want out of the pack like we heard you crying about the other day while we were hunting? We can help you." Alice asked softly.
Leah growled furiously but nodded. She was terrified of what was inevidible as tears stung at her eyes. She furiously wiped away what felt like a searing hot river off her cheeks.
"They're going to combine packs. I'm not going to suffer like that ever." She stifled a sob as she avoided their pitying stares. She hated pity.
"Don't look at me like that." Leah's voice was hoarse and shaking. At slower than human speed, Rosalie and Alice stepped next to her on both sides, and wrapped cold arms around her. She couldn't hold it in any longer.
She had word diarrhea after that.
"They all look at me like I'm some monster, Seth is embarrassed to be with me, and I can't even leave La Push until you decide to leave and it's KILLING ME! I never wanted this; I didn't want my father to die because of me, I don't even approve of the guy my Mom is seeing because I'll be related to her!" Rosalie and Alice exchanged worried glances. They knew Leah met Bella. They were worried about this too. It'd cause too many problems.
Leah suddenly began to sob, rocking back and forth. She was sweating, and Rosalie could hear her heartbeat quicken. Alice noticed she was even shaking. She removed her arms from around her, thinking she was cold, but she had a weird feeling it wasn't from her or Rosalie. Leah was pale, her eyes turning a very dark onyx, and dark circles appearing under her eyes.
"I'm so scared… I can't even kill myself and say it was a leech…" she cried. Rosalie gasped, and grabbed Leah's arms and rolled up the long sleeves. Rosalie wondered why she would do that during the summer. There were cuts like all along them in all different directions. She stifled a scream as Alice screeched for Jasper.
"JASPER! EDRWARD! CARLISLE! GET IN HERE NOW!" Alice cried as Leah began to hyperventilate.
"I can't breathe." she whispered, her eyes darting around the room and landing on Rosalie. Leah clutched her stomach, before vomiting all over the white carpet. Leah's hand clutched her chest, the tears running furiously down her face.
Edward Carlisle and Jasper appeared on the doorway. Carlisle's face resembled alarm before quickly removing Leah from Rosalie's arms and sprinting into the room where Renesmee was born. Rosalie used her vampire speed to get there first, pushing the table to the middle of the room. When Carlisle came in, his face was full of concentration. He chose to ignore Leah screaming at him. Leah suddenly went deadly quiet.
She started off into space, as if listening to someone. Her focus suddenly went out, her eyes rolled into the back of her head, before slumping onto the table.
"What just happened?" Bella asked running into the room. Carlisle began to work furiously, setting up machines and and muttering things uner his breath when abruplty Esme walked cautiously into the room. At least, Rosalie thought it was Esme. She looked up. Her eyes went black, just like Leah's had, but from anger. She marched to Bella, slapped her, and threw her out the door just as Alice had done to her during Renesmee's birth. Edward growled at her and began to stalk his way toward her, but when Bella gave a mewl of fake pain, he sprinted out of the room. She slammed the door, and locked it. She watched Carlisle work on Leah.
Leah woke up hours later, feeling horrible. Someone was feeding her warm, delicious soup, and she could make out to other figures sitting, watching.
"Mom?" she whispered, her voice hoarse, her throat sore.
The person feeding her chuckled, but shook her head.
"No, Leah t's Esme. Are you feeling better?" she asked polietly.
Leah shook her head and groaned.
"Noooo…." The room began to spin before she blacked out again.
For about a week, Leah lived in the Cullen house without any of the pack knowing, while the leeches themselves took care of her. They made sure Bella did not come near her, not even Edward, unless it was to be a translater when she suger coated how bad she was feeling. Once she got better, she was quick to leave, but came back the next day under Rosalie and Alice's request. The three became best friends. But Alice was worried about Leah's wellbeing, because weeks after Leah had healed, the long sleeved shirts were back.
Flashback End:
"Leah? Do you want revenge or not." Renesmee asked, snapping Leah back to reality. She really thought about what Renesmee said. At first she thought about how she must really be pissed at Jacob if she wanted to be in on it, and how Leah herself hadn't been out in years. Abruptly, she nodded.
"I want to go to a club, get smashed and have fun with you leeches. Have them work for the mess I make." She whispered, her smirk of the past back.
A/N: I've been editing this for a while now, and I think it turned out okay. I wanted to get this out as soon as possible, so you can anticipate two stories at the same time.
Speaking of, I WANT REVEIWS! Especially need two more on The Apocalypse so I can make Part 2. I WANT REVEIWS HERE TO GUYS!
No joke. I'll give you all chapters to read if you do :)
