Followed
She ran for days, stopping only when he did.
She ate only one meal a day, eating only when he did.
She slept only for a few hours, sleeping when he did.
She stopped to be rational, only when he was.
She followed her werewolf. There were only four people in this world she cared about: Seth, her mom, her dad (who had passed away) and Jacob Black. So she did everything on her power, everything she could do to protect them. If that meant chasing a dark gold russet werewolf in human form so he couldn't hear her thoughts, then so be it, that's what Leah did.
She had to eventually persuade him to come back to La Push. She needed him there. So she decided. Tomorrow, when he stopped to rest, she would tell him. Tell him everything.

Jacob stopped. After six nonstop hours if running, he needed a rest. He had just curled up and wrapped his tail around his large paw, when he heard and sensed a shimmer in the air. Someone phasing. Into a wolf. More specifically a girl phasing. He knew because when Leah phased, her shimmer lasted longer.
Before he could think about it anymore, a grey wolf was in front of him. A grey wolf with a proud, yet pleading expression in her eyes.
Leah???? Jake asked through his thoughts. Why was Leah here? Leah, of all people.
Gee, Jake, what a warm welcome, Leah snorted.
Leah, what are you doing here?
Getting some sense into your head.
What do you mean?
Come back to La Push, Jake.
No.
Why not?
Because I don't need to be there; I'm not needed there.
What do you mean? Of course you are needed there. Bella's been worried sick about you; Billy's trying to convince Charlie your ok. Charlie has signs all over the place. Seth is worried. Embry and Quil don't speak very much.
Ya but that's it. If I go back, Bella's gonna be all "Jake I missed you!" then, she'll to back to loving that bloodsucker of hers. Charlie will feel awkward about the whole thing. Billy will be back to normal within five minutes of my return. Quil's to busy with Claire. Embry and Seth are probably the only people I who would care if I came back of not. No one else.
I need you there.
And she let it all her images and thoughts and memories flow out.
I need you there a lot.
