Leah Clearwater, Sam Uley and Jacob Black were running down a vacant street in Seattle. Police sirens weren't that far behind them, and that made the two men panic slightly. But Leah was completely calm as her feet pounded against the cement. Her face was blank and slightly fierce as she eyed the police car following them. It was fast sure, but Leah had been through this before- actually alot.
They continued to sprint, Leah's hair flapping in the air before they turned into an alley and hid against the bricks. The police cruiser kept going in the same direction they were running mere seconds ago, letting a small feeling of calm rush through the Quileute teens.
Dumbass! Leah thought, still pressing her back firmly against the brick wall. She wasn't letting her guard down; last time she did she ended up getting beaten half to death.
Sam and Jacob's chest heaved, but Leah was completly fine as she took of her jacket and tied it to her waist revealing her white wife beater. She made sure the cops weren't coming back before she spoke in a suprisingly calm tone, already feeling the anger building within her.
"That was a great idea Sam." Leah huffed, glaring at him with a withering stare before sliding down the brick wall and putting her hair in a ponytail as she began to sweat. Her russet skin glimmered in the moonlight as she twisted so her body was facing her leader.
"I thought I knew what I was doing! Sue me!" Sam gasped, placing his hands on his knees and hunching over fighting for control over his breath. And now, he was getting his ass kicked.
"I probably would if I was going to juvy for following your dumbass fucking plan!" Leah began to shout, fighting the urge to punch her boss. Jacob rolled his eyes at the banter and spoke up receiving glares from his cousin and leader.
"You two argue too much. Why don't you get married?" Jacob smirked as the two stared each other down shuddering in disgust before they walked further down the alley.
Leah froze abruptly and put her hands to her hairline, quickly turning around.
"Fuck! My cars back in the field!" Leah groaned, before she did punch Sam in the arm causing a groan to slip out of his mouth.
"I told you asswipe! I had a plan to get the 5-0 of our backs and we could go full circuit and get my car! But no! You had to try to be the hero!" Sam hissed in pain as Leah continued to punch the same spot muttering words under her breath that would make a sailor embarresed.
Gaining bored of the two arguing like a married couple, Jacob broke it up by stepping between the two.
"Would you please try not to get your panties in a knot? You're giving me a damn migraine!" Jacob muttered, holding his cousin back as she tried to lunge at their gang leader.
Although that will be the first highlight of his day, he didn't want to cause any damaged to his body making the same mistake as last time trying to play hero, getting his ass kicked by his big cousin Leah.
"We better go back and get my baby." Leah growled out, before walking ahead leaving a grumpy Sam and a amused Jacob taking long and quick strides with the long legs she was blessed with.
Jacob knew that they had better get her car and quick. That was Leah's first stolen car, her first robbery car, and her first car period. That car was Leah's world. It was a Ford Mustang, all black. The windows were tinted so dark you'd think at first glance they were black too. People often asked why she didn't use her money and get custom colors. Her answer was always:
"What would I look like driving a flashy bright pink ride trying to do a drive by?"
Needless to say, it was a stupid question when you thought about it.
Jacob thought back to when Leah first saw the car, and her first robbery. It was still a legendary joke they often told to get Leah mad.
2 years ago:
Leah sat in a restaurant with the Black children, and Sam Uley. They were starved, waiting for a meal that Leah had a feeling they probably wouldn't eat.
Sam had just appointed Leah second in command for the gang he had started when he was a junior in High School. 'The Uley Pack' was pretty low in class right now, but that would change soon once Sam got Leah involved with racing and the fights.
Leah was staring longingly outside at the nice cars parked across the street. There was a yellow Porsche that made Leah think of a canary, and that only served to irritate her. What she was really staring at was the Mustang. She always wanted one, and there was a nice sleek black one that no one had claimed. Leah's fingers itched to grip the leather wheel in her hands and hear the roar of the engine as she blasted the music as loud as it could go.
Sam snickered as Leah squirmed in her seat, her face conflicted as the car taunted her. She could've sworn she heard it call out to her.
'I know you want me Leah. Come and get meee!'
"What's got in your panties?" Rebecca asked bluntly as Leah rose slightly before sitting back down. She wasn't the one to beat around the bush, is you wanted to play that game then you could have a chat with her twin sister Rachel and play the annoying game.
"I want it…" Leah muttered, staring at the masterpiece only a few feet ahead of her/
"Say what?" Jacob choked on his Pepsi upon hearing his cousins husky response.
Pervert… Leah thought.
"I want the car. 2010 Ford Mustang GT… Damn that car could cause an orgasm from just starting it." Leah groaned, biting her nails and rocking back and forth as the want for the car became to much.
"Instead of having a nervous breakdown, why don't you just go get it? No one's around." Rachel nudged her with her elbow nodding her head slightly in the direction of the car Leah was eye raping.
"Yeah, I'd like to ride in it. Let's go." Sam stood, followed by everyone else. The leader led them out the restaurant, and they walked across the parking lot before standing in front of the car that would soon be Leah's.
Leah let out a little mewl as she touched it "Fucking beautiful!" she thought, sighing.
Everyone gave her weird looks as she stood there with her eyes closed just touching the hood of the car.
"Leah, you're driving. I'll tell you how. It's a stick shift I think." Sam told her while getting in the passenger seat, the twins and Jacob sliding in the back.
Sam took a wire from his back pocket and handed it to Leah, who looked at him with a raised eyebrow. When she didn't elaborate, Sam asked.
"What?" he shrugged. Leah sighed.
"Who the hell keeps a wire in their back pocket Sam?" Leah asked him, admiring the interior before hot wiring the car, listening intently as Sam gave her the instructions swiftly handing her a screw driver.
A few minutes later the engine was purring and Sam rolled his eyes as Leah began to drive out of the lot. She was smiling, feeling completely elated. She was zooming in and out of streets, pulling sharp turns and twist that the twins held onto each other for dear life. Leah laughed at the adrenaline rush, thinking it was the best feeling in the world.
Until she heard police sirens.
"Is that for us?" Leah asked nervously, her hair blowing wildly in the wind as she kept her eyes on the road.
"Yeah. Drive faster." Sam confirmed, looking back occasionally, patting Leah on the back encouraging her to move faster.
Leah forcefully turned right and got on the highway as more police cruisers materialized behind them, blaring the sirens louder than the first. Leah groaned and turned the music down so she could the shouting over the microphones.
Telling me to stop and slow down isn't going to make me, Leah thought with a eye roll as she swerved through a group of cars.
15 Minutes Later...
"Oh fuck…" Leah whispered to herself as they came to a dead end in the middle of the road. "What do I do Sam?" Leah demanded as they got back on the highway. Jacob and the twins seemed to be having a blast as they laughed at Leah.
"Nothing. You're doing great." Sam chuckled softly, patting her leg before he shot up seeing two police cruisers facing nose to nose in front of them. Sam turned to Leah with a look of pure panic, but relaxed as Leah's expression became fierce and she slammed through the cars before following a trail she knew they would be safe in until they could go back home.
Just as they were about to get the cops off their back, Leah's phone rang. "Are you serious! Really? now?" Leah shouted, causing the car to erupt in laughter.
"Leah? Baby I can't hear you!" Sue shouted. It was her mother. The sirens and music and laughter and wind drowned out Leah's response.
"It's fine Mom! We're okay we're just watching a movie!" Leah screamed into her phone, Sam snorted and shifted his body to watch the police cruisers.
"That doesn't sound like a nice movie honey… what are you watching? Harry not right now please." Sue asked suspiciously as Leah screamed in shock as a fucking deer ran across the road.
'The fuck? Doesn't Bambi sense danger right now? Stupid deer and police!' She grumbled, throwing her middle finger up.
"Sorry, something jumped out of the screen at me ha." Leah paused as she thought of an answer. "It's Fast Five in 3D." Leah answered. Rachel shouted out as Becca pulled her hair as they made another sharp turn.
"Baby Fast Five was not in 3D." Sue snorted. "What are you doing?" Sue snapped. Leah quickly rolled eyes and hung up as she got an idea.
"Sammy Boy, you got your gun on you?" Leah asked innocently, glancing at her leader before looking at the road again.
"Yeah…" Sam replied quietly giving her a sidelong glance. Leah held her hand out for the small gun, and quickly told Sam to take the wheel. The Quileute gang member rolled down the window and pushed half her body out of it as she aimed the gun at the wheels of the police cruiser. Making sure to tighten the strings around her hoodie and lower her hat so the police wouldn't be able to make out her appearance.
"Brace yourself boys!" Leah yelled at the policemen before shooting with perfect aim at the front tires. As the car lost control and shifted so its back was to the Mustang, Leah shot the back tires smirking as the cars behind it made a screeching halt before taking the wheel again finding her way towards the trail she knew they would be fine with for a while.
As Leah parked in the clearing, Rachel and Rebecca quickly jumped out of the car vomiting into the poor bushes. Leah's face scrunched up into a scowl before petting her sweet car.
"Good job Eddie." She whispered to it, before sitting down on the hood to catch her breath.
"Eddie?" Sam asked, lighting a cigarette. It was a habit he did when he needed to calm his emotions.
"Yes Sammy, I named my first car Eddie." Leah sighed before looking at the sky.
"Why Eddie? How about Lightning!" Rachel questioned, eyeing her best friend confused.
"It's simple Cinderella. This car is innocent and elegant - and in every story, the rebel always go for the good ones." Leah laughed, winking at her older cousin.
End of Flashback:
"Why are you laughing douche?" Leah snarled, as Jacob laughed with his head bowed down, short black hair falling in his face hiding those amused chocolate-brown eyes she wanted to stab.
"Just remembering how you got the car." Jacob said defensively, putting his hands up in surrender.
"I still can't believe Rach and Becca puked." Leah shook her head, before putting her sweater back on as the air began to cool.
"Hey!" an annoying, high-pitched voice screeched as the trio continued to walk up the alley. They turned quickly, Leah gripping her small pistol in her back pocket. But it was only a member of their rival gang named The Cold Ones' second in command woman. Rosalie Hale, Emment McCarty's fiancée.
The tall blonde wore short shorts showing off her long pale legs and a shirt with the Hollister logo on it. Leah huffed as a flash of anger went through her whole body seeing the wanna be Barbie princess in front of her.
"What do you want?" Leah asked impatiently. Emmet McCarty and Jasper Hale appeared behind Rosalie. 'The Cold Ones' and 'The Uley Pack' have been rivals ever since their gangs were both formed. Rosalie and Leah have never gotten along, especially since the accident that happened last year. That was icing roses on the vanilla cake.
"You're in our territory skank, that's what." Rosalie smirked. Leah rolled her eyes and shrugged.
"It's a damn alley bitch." Leah huffed. Rosalie muttered something under her breath that Leah didn't catch.
"If you got something to say, say it to my face if you're so big and bad." Leah mocked, placing her russet hand on her hip glaring at the woman.
"I said an alley is where you belong Pocahontas wanna be." Rosalie smiled, but it was wiped from her face as Leah grabbed her blonde hair yanking it back, slamming it against the brick wall breathing heavily. Rosalie cried out, and tried to throw some punches but missed terribly as Leah punched her in the stomach before stepping away from her, now disgusted and bored.
The bitch can't even hold her own in a fight. Leah thought, scoffing un-lady like.
Emmet McCarty moved towards Leah in pure fury, but stopped seeing Sam Uley and Jacob stepping in front of Leah.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Sam warned.
One thing you do not do is attack Leah Clearwater. If you want to end up intensive care, go ahead and try. First it's dealing with an intense beat down from Leah, and then it's her fellow gang members one by one. Emment was an idiot, but he wasn't that stupid.
"Let's go. We didn't come to start any problems." Jacob told his cousin as she gave Emmet a withering glare walking back slowly before they were out of the alley and at Leah's car in the clearing.
"The next time I see you bitch your ass is mine." Rosalie growled, holding her head.
"Glad you love my ass, too bad it's taken." Leah winked, feeling as Jacob tugged her out of the alley leading them to the car.
Once they where halfway down the street - which Leah decided to jog backwards- and close to her car, Jacob started to speak.
"Are you stupid? They could have killed us! One, we're in their territory, second, you attacked-" he was cut off by voice.
"Bitch had it coming Jacob! Don't tell me I'm wrong for it!" Leah snarled as Jacob continued to berate her.
"Yeah, so? McCarty could've snapped your arm with a flick of his wrist!" Jacob snapped as he got in the passenger seat, Sam sat in the back as Leah drove.
"He's right Leah." Sam spoke sternly, giving her a death glare.
"What the hell! She deserved-" Leah stopped sensing her leaders glare on her.
"Just go to the safe house Lee-Lee." Sam muttered, before sitting back placing his headphones in his ear, occasionally looking back looking for anything suspicious.
Sam being him never could relax. But how could he when he has different gangs trying to kill him? Leah looked in her rear-view mirror as did Jacob. They needed to keep a close eye out since they were in The Cold One's territory. Luckily, Leah got them out of the bad land going around circles and a few different neighborhoods before feeling safe enough to start the route home.
"Alrighty boss man." Leah laughed forgetting their argument as she exited off the highway heading to her haven. She knew they were only looking out for- and even though she'll never admit it, what she did back was kind of stupid.
"How are things at home?" Jacob asked softly as they drove silently. He didn't have much time to spend with his older cousin since last month when Sam sent them on a mission.
"Fine." Leah responded as she stiffened, keeping her eyes solely focused on the road.
"Now I know it isn't. What's going on?" Jacob said seriously, frowning.
Leah sighed defeated, she couldn't protest to the adorable expression he made showing his dimples. "Sue keeps hinting that she wants to talk to me about the gang and how she hears rumors about me around town and from Charlie. That man is always bailing me out and it's pissing me off." Leah huffed, clenching her jaw.
"She just wants you to be safer Lee." Jacob told her calmly. Leah gripped the steering wheel tighter.
"I didn't need her when I was 14 and I don't need her now." Leah hissed through clenched teeth.
Harry Clearwater was the cause of most of Leah's problems even in his grave. He had verbally abused Leah and her mother every night, berating them in every way possible. He only really cared for Seth, and wasn't afraid to tell anyone that.
One night he came home drunk and saw there was no food. He began to hit Sue, and forced her to make her something for him. He claimed she wasn't doing it fast enough and began to hit her. Seth tried to help, but was shoved by his father and hit his head on the counter. Leah, mad and scared hit her dad on the head with a shovel repeatedly. When she realized what she did, she called her pack and told them to come and help her dispose of the body.
Two months after Harry's death, her mother began to see Charlie Swan, around the same time she and the gang began to get more respect, robbing cars and selling drugs.
Leah brought in more money into the family, and the gang helped her keep her mind off of how it was at home. Seth was curious about why Leah was so happy all the time, talking on the phone and sneaking off at night. So he followed her to the gangs safe house where they were having a bonfire, and that's how Seth was introduced.
And literally influenced to join, by the gangs leader's Sam Uley and his partner Jared Cameron. Sam's second in command Leah - his sister - refused to let him join.
Now Leah had to worry about Bella Swan.
Bella Swan was probably the bane of Leah's existence besides Rosalie Hale. She flirts with Seth constantly, and often rats her out. Leah had to constantly reminded her that if she kept flirting with Seth it'd be incest, but Bella didn't seem to mind.
Stupid clumsy bitch. Leah sneered mentally, before clenching her jaw again.
"You can talk to me Lee." Jacob said softly, but Leah didn't say anything.
When they arrived at the safe house, Paul Lahote walked down the steps before spinning Leah around in the air, kissing her roughly. They had been dating for almost a year now, but you can't really call it relationship. Sure Paul and Leah cared for each other, but did they love each other? No.
"What happened to you guys?" Paul asked as he led them all into the crappy cabin that was Leah's sanctuary.
The windows were boarded up, the door squeaked when you opened it, and so many people had screwed on the couch that the springs gave you a pain in the backside but Leah loved it. She sat in front of the fireplace with her little brother. It was summer break, so he spent most of his nights here.
"Hey shorty." Leah said to him as she sat down. She loved her little brother to death, and would step in front of him if there was a bullet flying his way -which thankfully hasn't happened.
"Leah! We thought you were arrested you know! I thought you were dead!" Seth snarled, smacking Leah's arm in anger, playfully glaring at her.
"Well I'm fine. Let's go home." Leah didn't argue like she normally would. She was just too tired to. She just stood and went to her car and started it. Seth followed, saying goodbye to everyone and hugging both of the twins before strapping in and together the siblings drove home in silence.
"So..." Seth started looking at his older sister. "What happened? Did the police chase after you? Did something go wrong?" He asked in a rush.
Leah gave him a sidelong glance pursing her lips together. "The less you know, the safer you are." She murmured.
Seth sighed in his seat shaking his head. "I deserve to know something, I've waited all night for you, and so has mom." He spoke, using the guilt trip.
"Seth Clearwater! Are you trying to guilt trip me!?" Leah shouted, taking one hand of the wheel punching her devious brother on the arm playfully.
"Is it working?"
"No. How dare you, I should kick your scrawny little ass!" Leah laughed, pulling into the driveway.
The two Clearwater children sat in the car looking at the house that held so many memories - good and bad.
"Charlie's here." Seth whispered, letting out a deep breath. He was still trying to figure out if he liked the guy or not. Seth could tell the Chief loved his mother and wouldn't hurt her, but that's what he thought about his father.
Then there was Leah. She wondered what the hell was going on in her mother's mind! Not to long ago she was in an abusive relationship. Not only that but her mother was engaged to a cop! When Sam found out he was furious and almost tried to kill Charlie Sawn. If it wasn't for Leah telling him that Charlie was on their side the towns Chief will be dead somewhere lying in the ocean.
"Listen kiddo, leave the talking to me. If she asks you anything, just tell her you were with me and we had a brother and sister bonding day." Leah chuckled, ruffling his hair.
Seth snorted. "We did no such thing. If-." Leah shot him a warning glare making him shut up.
"Don't try me today pup." She smirked, using his nickname everyone decided to give him. "Oh! Grab that present, that way if she's on to us we can sweeten her up."
Seth laughed doing as his sister told him before jumping out the Mustang walking to the door. Just as Leah inserted the key into the lock the door opened revealing a pissed off Sue.
"Mind telling me this?" Sue growled, holding a bag that looked suspiciously like Marijuana.
Leah froze looking back and forth between the bag and her mother. Luckily Seth spoke up.
"We got you a present." He chuckled nervously, holding the red wrapping paper.
Oh Taha Aki kill me now! Leah thought, groaning.
