Chapter 1: Destination La Push

Granite Falls, 11:30- Night

It was finally over, her terrible nightmare was finally over and Jacob's long search for her had finally come to an end. All of their troubles and short dark violent lives were left in the Quarry which about now was one giant crime scene. The police would never find who did the crime or what really went on. But judging by the evidence they left behind like torn bodies and one giant blast crater, they were going to be scratching their heads for a long time to come. She had only one memory of everything that went on before she slipped into unconsciousness. It was probably the worse memory of them all, it was when Michael pierced Jacob with some golden trident.

He used that weapon to kill Jacob. Michael probably couldn't have continued to take Jacob on in such a powerful state. Which is why Michael was the perfect opponent for him, as the one who gave Leah those horrible terrifying powers, only he had knowledge and the power to remove them all from each of them. But that's all she saw, what she didn't see was the fight that ensued between Michael and Jacob. She hoped that while they drove back home he would share with her everything that happened. All of that would come soon she hoped, all that mattered now was that he saved her, she was freed from such a terrifying curse and he was alive and well.

She couldn't wait to return home, to see her brother, mother and the rest of her pack. She wondered how much had changed in her and Jacob's absence. Come to think of it, she had so many questions for Jacob. And not just about what went down in the quarry, but everything he did before coming to look for her. Not since she became a terrifying monster had she finally felt really tired. The hunger kept her awake most of the nights, and even when she was full; she had nightmares of the monster sharing her mind and body with her.

Jacob's hand never left Leah's, he squeezed her hand tighter when her eyes closed. Jacob smiled and concentrated on the road and on looking for a place to stay at for the night.

Lynnwood, Washington, November 2, 2013, 5:00- Night

Jacob drove all night into the next day and into the closest city to find a place to get some well deserved sleep, Lynnwood Motel. Lynnwood was a city, but not one with any real hotels just motels for long distance travelers. When Jacob found a vacant spot in the parking area, he tried waking Leah up. Rubbing her face, shaking her a bit- nothing seemed to be able to wake her up.

That's when Jacob realized her grip on his own hand was latched on very tightly, he wondered if she was ok or if she had…

"Leah…wake up. Leah…Leah!" she raised his voice, sounding very concerned.

"I'm tired Jacob, don't wake me up again…or I'll kick you ass." Jacob actually smiled and chuckled when he heard her threatening him.

"Leah, I don't want you to sleep in this car all day and night. C'mon drove us to a motel, there's a bed waiting for you inside. But you have to get up first."

Jacob felt Leah's hand release his, he pulled the keys out of the ignition and stepped outside. He walked around to the passenger side of his car and opened the door. Leah didn't step out, instead she chose to continue 'sleeping'. He wondered which one of them really deserved the sleep more. He rather not think about it, afraid of what the answer might be. Jacob closed the passenger door and went inside to get him and Leah a cabin. When he came back outside, Leah was still in the car. Sleeping.

Jacob bit his lower lip and watched her. He placed his hands on his hips and raised an eyebrow. Jacob reached in and grabbed her. He lifted her up like she was some kind of baby, he felt her arms close around his neck. She wasn't entirely asleep. Jacob then took her legs and wrapped them around his waist, Leah rested her face on his shoulder; smiling the entire time he walked over to their cabin.

Another couple came by and parked their car near Jacob's, the car was unlike one Jacob has seen in a while or ever. It was an old 54 Plymouth. The volume on that car's radio was turned up so high Jacob could hear the song playing. "Tell me Why" by Norman fox and Rob roys.

Tell me why (why-why-why, tell me why)

Why the stars in the sky

Oh, their the same kind of stars

That I see in your eyes

I love you, yes I do

Oh, won't you tell me why (wah-wah-ooh)

Tell me why, tell me why

Why my heart skips a beat

Every time that you're near

Every time that we meet

I love you, yes I do (wah-wah-ooh)…

Jacob continued on walking to their cabin, the key to the door was inside his pant pocket. He was holding Leah up by her thighs, but to reach his key he would have to hold her up by her butt with one hand. Jacob didn't hesitate, she was after all his girlfriend now so it was going to be weird. He used his left hand to hold her up and then searched his right pocket with his right hand. Feeling his hand on her butt made Leah sink her face on his neck. Oh yeah she was definitely not asleep. He pushed the key inside and turned the knob, he pushed the door open using feet. He turned to pull the key out of the knob and then shoved it back into his pocket.

It was here where he tried to lay Leah down on the bed so he could go outside and grab the duffel bag full of money. He wanted to bring it inside and keep it safe, after all that was WHOLE lot of money. The gold and silver bars were just an added bonus. He tried placing Leah down but she was playing with him. The constriction her legs had around his waist and her arms that were wrapped around his neck, they wouldn't budge for anything.

"Leah…if you're not asleep, at least open your eyes."

"I can't wake up unless you…"

"Unless I what?"

"You know what to do Jake, don't be stupid."

Jacob fell down on their only bed and pressed his lips on hers. They kissed passionately and honestly. The bed under them was soft, it had red velour covers that were more than comfortable. Leah giggled in between kissing Jacob and kissing him on his neck and face. Jacob on the other hand kissed her like he was in some kind of hurry to please her and cover her face and neck in his kisses.

Not that it wasn't cute, Leah just wished he would take his sweet time.

"Slower Jake…slower, it's not a race you know."

"I'm sorry…I…never got this far."

"With anyone?" she asked him.

Jacob had this look of embarrassment pasted on his face, like a great secret of his was discovered and one that he was ashamed of. Leah felt that his whole vibe had changed so she tightened the hold her legs had around his waist.

"Leah can you let go of me for a sec, I need to grab the money from the car."

"Jacob, it's ok. It's really no big deal." she told him, making it sound like it really was no big deal.

"Someone might break into the car and take it Leah, c'mon let go of me-"

"I wasn't talking about the Money Jake." Leah who was wearing this leather one piece suit that Michael gave her during the battle at the quarry, had a zipper that started from the neck and ended at her groin. Jacob hoped they could get her new clothes, he really didn't want to see the Paragon insignia sewn on to her left breast area. It only brought back memories he was trying to forget.

Jacob looked at her face, inspecting it like one would a beautiful painting. Leah's left hand then reached for the pull tab on her zipper and slowly began to pull it down. Jacob saw more and more of her chest as the pull tab came down. Leah felt something poking her at her center. Jacob began to blush heavily and looking away from her. It wasn't his fault that his body reacted normally to a situation like this. The pull tab was getting dangerously close to allowing her breasts to just slip out from the sides.

"Stop…" Jacob asked. His hand stopped hers from fully exposing herself to him.

"Why? Jacob tell my why" Perhaps Jacob loved her after all, but maybe not enough to consummate their relationship the way she wanted. Maybe she was going to fast for him, or maybe he was just a little slow to accept that she really did love him and was ready to take it to that next step.

"Let me grab the money first Leah, then we can…you know." it sounded difficult for Jacob to say it, but after he did there was a smile on his face.

Leah was relieved and glad. She undid the firm hold her legs had around his waist and allowed Jacob to get up and walk outside. He did his best to hide the bulge that had grown behind his pants during Leah's little strip tease. Leah went into the bathroom and splashed some water on her face. With her face cleaned and cleared of dirt, she looked around for a tooth brush and some toothpaste. Luckily their motel room had just those two items. She closed the bathroom door and brushed her teeth and the rest of her mouth.

Jacob came back inside with Leah's duffle bag and placed it under their bed. He removed his shoes, socks, pants and shirt. He stretched first and did some quick calisthenics afterwards. He sat down on the bed and looked over at the bathroom door. He heard water running out of the faucet for a while before hearing it turn off. When it turned off, the bathroom door opened and Leah came back out. She joined Jacob on the other side of the bed. Jacob stood up and went over to her, he kissed her on her cheek and whispered to her to stand up. She did so.

Focusing on the floor, Jacob unzipped her suit and allowed it to drop to the floor. Their feet which were on the floor were now gone, both had taken to the bed.
