Leah's POV

It's been a month since the Volturi had almost ruined our lives. And for a month, the snow kept coming down. Some days, it would be a storm and some it would be sunny, but the cold will still be there. Every night, it would fall and fall endlessly...

And everyday I grow to wonder what would it be like to imprint?

I never want to imprint, never. I don t ever want to know, don't ever want to understand that what if I was in Sam's situation. The reason why they are prolonging their marriage was so that they would give me time to cool off, move on, or more so, to imprint.

That's the whole reason why, even though they had another reason that they believed it was reasonable.

I hate Sam, but I still love him. I am still mad that he imprinted on my cousin, Emily. But she's like a sister to me; I could never hate her. I will hate Sam, but at the same time, continue to loathsomely love him.

And now, I am here wondering what it would be like, I repeat, to imprint.

Seeing Jacob imprinting on that leech s spawn made me see how easy it was for him to get over that Bella Swan. No matter how much Bella made him suffer, he got over her as soon as he imprinted on her daughter.

I wondered if I would be able to get over Sam as soon as I imprint on someone hopefully around my age, but I didn t want to understand the situation as to why he chose Emily over me. I want to continue hating him for it, make him suffer until he deserves the right amount of it.

Tonight is February 3, the calmest snowfall of the night; it was my nightshift to patrol.

Everything seemed normal and the same but for some odd reason, different.

I have this feeling that things are about to change

I was running around Forks; Jacob's territory. Also, my territory.

So far, for the past week there hasn't been any vampire visits anymore, and it calmed both of the packs down.

I was running East, and I was about to make a turn, but I stopped. The wind change its course, and it blew against me; a scent hit me. This one had a strong natural scent in it.

It was a strange smell; a smell of metal and diamonds but it had another distinct smell of citrus. It was odd, and so my curiosity got the better of me.

I tracked down the scent and it was near to an open plain of the forest, and that's when I caught him in sight. From far away, I could see a half-naked man with only tattered jeans. I couldn't see anymore clearer than that, so I went closer.

Instantly, I regretted getting a closer look because at that moment, I was in awe at the strange man. He was handsome, muscular, but slender. He has this nice shaggy black hair cut that suit his features. I label him as an Asian man, and really, I never actually had a taste for Asians but now I sort of do.

Once I regretted this meeting of him, it subsided quickly when I realized the wounds he has. There were scars and bruises everywhere on him and a hole, right unto his skull; I panicked at this horrible sight. Is he dead?

Oddly enough, his heart was still steadily beating; hatefully I was relieved by this.

I was contemplating on leaving him just like this, but it's him. Due to this, I just couldn't leave him.

I carefully lifted him with my head, surprisingly, he didn't weigh that much. It s not because of my strength really, but even I could feel the weight of 2 sacks of potatoes. But he weighed less than that. I was able to get him on my back, and I took off running back to the Cullens' house.

Once I was near range to Edward's mind reading, I yelled.

Hey leech, found some one!

I shouted giving the image of the injured Asian man in my mind, hoping he got the message.

Once I arrived, there was the spawn's father and Dr. Blood out at front. They quickly came to me and took him off from me.

I growled. Be careful!

"We're careful," the mind-reading leech said, and then he gave me a look. I didn t know what it meant at first, but then I got that soon.

I did not imprint!

He nodded his head, but I knew he didn't believe me. I probably had made it too obvious, however, he's going to keep his mouth shut. He better.


A half an hour had passed since I brought in the strange man. Carlisle had just finished bandaging him up.

"So where did you find him, Leah?" Carlisle asked as he started examining the whole on the man's forehead.

Tell him, leech. I thought to Edward and he paid no heed to my insult.

"Leah found him in the middle of the forest," he said.

Carlisle nodded at that information as he came to a conclusion from examining the wound. "Someone shot a bullet to his head, but for some odd reason he's still alive"

Truthfully, I was glad that he was safe, but I try harder to think that I didn t care an ounce of that man. Suddenly Edward spoke with urgency, "Carlisle, look!"

I panicked as well as I got my butt of the seat and ran to the bedside. I both see them wear shocking looks as they stare at his forehead; I look at their direction and I was shock as well.

The hole on his forehead began to heal, gradually covering up. Once it did, so was his bruises on his face, neck, and everywhere in sight. In the corner of my eyes, I saw his fingers twitch a bit. He was starting to wake up

I took a step back a bit and the vampires did the same, hoping not to scare him as well. His eyelids opened naturally, turning his head to the vampires and then to me. I was at awe again; they were luscious bright brown eyes.

He continued to stare at me and I continue to stare at him too. He started to sit up slowly from his lying position. Assuring his bruises have healed.

"How are you feeling?" Carlisle asked and he turned to the vampire. He cocked his head to the side, looking confused as he finally realized his unfamiliar surroundings.

He glanced around for a while before looking back to the doctor asking, "Anta dare da?"

Japanese? Is he Japanese?

Edward replied in his same language, "Hajimemashite. Edward desu. Yoroshiku onegai-shimasu."

"Watashi wa Carlisle desu. Yoroshiku." Oh God, even the doctor can speak Japanese. "Sumimasen, demo daijoubo?"

"H-hai, daijoubo," he said hesitantly. Oh my god, what the hell are they saying?

He started to speak up, "Ano..."

Edward asked, "Hm, nan desu ka?"

"Omae wa dare da?" he asked some sort of question in his language while at the same time pointed at himself.

Edward and Carlisle had this look that I don't even know how to describe. It's almost like they wanted to say 'wtf'.

Carlisle asked. "Shira nai desu?"

The man shook his head. "Shiranai"

"Hey," I cut in. "What's he saying?" I asked in an almost desperate, demanding tone.

Edward answered my question. "He lost his memory...he doesn't know who he is or where he is from"

He lost his memory? Ouch. Wait, could it be that bullet through his thick skull?

Edward nodded. "It could be"

I turned back to the Japanese guy who was staring at me with daze eyes. Was he admiring me?

"Ano," he started. "o-namae wa nan desu ka?"

I stared at him before looking back to Edward. "He asked what's your name..." he said.

I turned back to the man and instead of saying my name, I asked, "Can you speak english?"

He blinked at me, and in a way he sort of understood what I said, but I asked him again. "Can you speak English?"

It was silent for a while until he finally spoke, "Yes...yes I can speak English" And he spoke it fluently with a surprising tone.

"Do you remember anything at all?" I asked him and he looked down, concentrating on the blanket. I know he was thinking hard, trying to look if there was anything that he was able to remember.

He looked back up to me and shook his head. "No, I can't...what happened to me?"

"That shot to the head might have erased all your memories," Carlisle said to him.

"Shot to the head...shouldn't I be dead?!" Well, at least he has some sense.

"That's the thing," I said. "You weren't dead..."

Edward then took over. "As soon as that hole on your forehead healed so was the rest of your scars and bruises"

He blinked before looking, examining his body. All in all, we couldn't see a single scratch on him.

"That's because I'm not normal?" he said in a questioned statement and I have to agree, he definitely was not normal.

Edward then said, "Well, vampires aren't normal too" I froze, and so did Carlisle. We were both thinking the same thing. Why the hell did he just gave the secret away?!

But I didn't expect the Japanese man to just reply so casually, "Vampires are normal; your normal.." He whined and then his face went from confusion to a shock of realization. "Ah!" he said in surprise. "Y-You can-!" He stopped from there and Edward took over. "Yes, I can read minds"

Wait, wait, so hold up. My imp-UGH NO! This guy knows that they are vampires.

"Ahhh, sugoi!" he said. What the hell does that mean?

Carlisle smiled and nodded. "So desu ka, ne?"

And I had it. "Could you all speak English-No! You know what? I'll just leave," I remarked harshly and started leaving the room, getting sick of the language that I didn't understand. I turned back only once to see my...the guy wearing this sad hurtful look, and it only made me hurt too. Maybe I was a little too harsh?

NO! I reprimanded myself, and forced myself to look forward and head out, keep being pissed.

I was heading downstairs and I heard Edward from the room clearly say to that guy, "Don't worry much about it. Leah is always like that to everyone, but you know, she's a little nicer to you"

Kiss my ass, Eddy-bitch. Kiss. My. Ass.

I was already in the living room and the whole bloodsucking family were there, waiting. They looked at me expectantly wanting to know exactly of what is going on, but I ignored as I head outside but stopped when Jacob, Seth, Embry, and Quil walked in. I groaned mentally, knowing they would want answers from me.

"What's going on, Leah?" Jacob asked. "Bella called me about some one you found..." And by the tone of his voice, he won't let me leave until I tell him. Of course, I could just leave right there and not tell him. But to avoid getting bug for, it's better to tell them now than wasting time trying to hide the information. Besides, we're in human form and they're not going to know about that.

I started to explain. "I found this guy in the middle of the forest. He was covered with bruises and scars, and there was a bullet shot through his head..."

And then they had this confuse look that they were wearing, and then Embry asked, "If he's dead why'd you bring him here?"

Anger rose in me, but I quickly calmed it down. I don't want them to know.

I calmly answered, "I didn't say he was dead, did I?" All their faces became bewildered. I rolled my eyes as I added, "He was still alive...he was breathing"

They all were wearing surprised looks now, and so were the other leeches in the living room as I continued. "So I brought him back here"

When they were about to ask more questions, Carlisle and Edward came down. Bella got up, holding the spawn close to her as she walked over to Edward, and he swung his arm over, bringing them closer. Euk...

"What happened?" she asked, and everyone in the whole room was silent and still as they listen to the mind reader's explanation. "His wounds have healed after the bullet on his forehead closed up"

I see everyone's reaction quite surprised except those who have already known, but still it was very hard to believe.

"How?" Jacob asked.

Carlisle took over. "We wanted to ask him, but it seems his memories have been erased"

Suddenly Emmett spoke up, "Ohh!"

Edward had the same reaction. "Emmett...that's stupid, but somehow a good enough reason..."

"Wait, what did Emmett thought?" Seth asked, getting very interested at this whole topic.

Emmett blurts out. "It's just like Wolverine from that new movie we watched last week! He got shot through the head right? So when his brain healed, his memories were lost! I mean, it is possible!"

We put this through our head, I mean I haven't watched the movie yet, but I guess that sort of made sense. Shockingly, this was coming from Emmett.

Quil then said hesitantly, "Wait...does that mean that the bullet is still in his brain?"

We all stopped and thought that out. Oh my god, the bullet is still in his head.

"Tomorrow, I'll schedule an x-ray check up on him, and we'll leave it at that for now," Carlisle said.

Now that's done with. I left the house, ignoring the looks I was getting from Jacob and the others as I phased and ran back to La Push.

Really, I meant it, I refuse to be with my imprint!


So what do you think? Leah finally imprinted and yet she refuses to be with him. What would happen if all her friends and families find out about it? What would happen when she eventually falls in love with that guy?

HELP: What would be a temporary name for this guy? Please use Japanese names!

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!
