Hello everyone. Sorry for disappearing for months, but I'm back. This is my first Twilight only story. It's kind of depressing in the beginning but I promise it gets better so bear with me. This is just the PROLOG so its going to be a little short.
This is "The Demon I Cling To" Prolog
Leah stood on the edge of the tallest cliff in the reservation, staring as the waves lapped angrily at the side of the cliff. The clouds above parted slightly allowing the moon to shine her rays upon Leah's tear streaked face. The wind picked up, flicking her hair around wildly and making the waves move even faster. Was there anything left for her to cling to? Leah closed her eyes as she thought back to a few hours ago…
FLASH BACK…
Leah walked slowly down the street, idly passing Sam's and Emily's house to go get her mother some milk, when she heard celebrating. Narrowing her eyes she walked right up to Sam's house and opened the door. The entire pack was there, laughing and cheering around Sam and Emily.
The pack stopped and stared at her, going completely silent. Even Seth got a guilty look when he saw his sister standing there.
"What's going on here?" Leah asked, trying to keep the anger from her voice.
"What does it look like? We're celebrating!" a very drunk Paul said.
"Paul hush…" Jacob said, trying to stop him before anything regretful could be said. But it was too late.
"Sam and Emily are pregnant. Something you will never know." Paul said, hiccupping. Leah felt her heart freeze. Emily stepped toward her but it was too late as Leah ran from the house and straight to the forest, turning in mid-leap over a fallen tree.
No one went after her. No one tried to comfort her. No one chased her down to hold her as she sobbed her heart ache. Once she was far enough she sat down and howled her sorrow to the world. No howls answered back.
END FLASH BACK…
Leah looked down. It was well past midnight and no one had come looking for her. She really was the evil harpy that everyone just wanted gone… Slowly she let her body lean forward…
When Leah hit the water the breath was knocked out of her right away. She felt the waves moving her as if she was nothing. The icy water made its way down her throat as her body struggled for breath. Leah's vision started going dark, but before she could completely black out she felt two small cold arms wrap around her middle. Was it death finally coming to claim her? She didn't know but it felt nice to be held… Leah finally gave in and went limp in the strong arms.
SAM'S HOUSE…
Jacob looked out the window, feeling as if something had just snapped. Seth froze, feeling the same thing. They looked at each other.
"Sam… Something doesn't feel right…" Jacob said, putting his hand to his chest. Sam looked up from his place next to Emily and looked at Jacob worried.
"What's wrong?" Sam said, standing.
"Leah's presence… It's gone…"
LEAH…
Leah coughed; water flowing out of her mouth freely and the fingers that had been going through her hair stopped. Two strong hands rolled her to her side, letting Leah finish throwing up the sea water.
"Are you alright?" A soft voice asked. To Leah it sounded like a lullaby mixed with the tinkling of bells. Slowly turning over onto her back Leah looked into the blood red eyes of a small vampire woman. It felt as if Leah's pain was all gone in that moment, that she had finally found the one thing keeping her on this earth.
The woman was tiny, 5' 3'' at most and her frame was thin but her bust was lusty and full. Her lips were very kissable and her hair was so blond it was almost white. Her pale skin glowed softly in the moonlight making her look like a fallen angel. Her dress was a plain black summer dress.
"Who are you…?" Leah whispered, reaching up slowly to run her finger tips over the icy skin of her imprint. The woman smiled and nuzzled to Leah's scorching hand, placing her small hand over Leah's.
"My name is Elizabeth... What is yours?" She asked, closing her eyes as she enjoyed the heat against her cheek.
"Leah…" she whispered, her throat from the rough sea water. Elizabeth opened her eyes once more and wrapped a heavy traveling cloak around Leah's body when she let out a tremor of cold.
"Sleep my Leah… I will watch over you…" Elizabeth said and softly kissed Leah's forehead. Leah let out a content sigh and fell into a deep sleep. Elizabeth's blood red eyes looked over the beach and sky when howling met her sensitive ears. A low predator like growl left her throat and her hands turned into claws. They wouldn't take her Leah.
She had waited much too long for a mate… and she would kill to keep her with her…
JACOB…
The pack swarmed the forest, sniffing everywhere for Leah's scent. They followed the trail to the cliff and everyone's heart froze when the scent came to an end.
"Sh-she wouldn't…" Jacob said, shaking his head in denial.
"N-no she's too strong…" Seth said, gripping his hair to try to keep the tears at bay. Sam ran up behind him looking around.
"As much as I'd like to look for Leah, I smell a vampire very near." Sam said, putting his hand on Seth's shoulder in sympathy. Slowly Jacob and Seth tore themselves away from the cliff and transformed, running after Sam and the other pack mates.
LEAH…
Leah opened her eyes, yawning softly. She was in a huge king sized that she didn't recognize, in a house that wasn't hers'. Slowly getting up she saw a beautiful silk dress hanging on the bathroom door. Looking around the bathroom she took a quick shower and slipped the dress on, feeling sexy as she stared at herself in the mirror. She opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed all the make-up she could. She dumped them on the sink staring at them like she was hoping they would just leap up and put themselves on her face.
A beautiful chuckle made her turn to the door, where Elizabeth stood with a smile on her face.
"Would you like some help my love?" Elizabeth asked no bite in her voice.
"I've never been good at this…" Leah whispered. Elizabeth walked over and put her hands on Leah's cheek.
"You honestly don't need make-up. You're so beautiful without it." Elizabeth said, slowly going on her tip toes to place a hesitant kiss on Leah's flaming lips. Leah wrapped her arms tight around Elizabeth's thin waist and lifted her up to kiss her better. Elizabeth giggled and pulled away, fluttering her long eye lashes.
"By the way, that dress makes you look stunning." Elizabeth whispered. Leah felt her heart flutter and set her small imprint down.
"Darling what is the one thing in the world you want?" Elizabeth asked, putting her hands behind her back and bouncing on the balls of her feet. Leah looked torn and looked at the mirror. Elizabeth tilted her head and put her finger on Leah's cheek, making her look into her eyes.
"A big wedding… a large house… and a baby" Leah whispered the last one so low that if Elizabeth hadn't been a vampire she wouldn't have heard it.
"Those things are so simple. And I'd love to give you those and much more." Elizabeth promised, pecking Leah's lips and gliding out of the bathroom.
"Come, I made you food." Elizabeth said, skipping down the grand stairway. Leah followed her and stopped in horror when she saw three dead bodies at the bottom of the stairs. Elizabeth leaped over them easily and headed into the kitchen. Leah put her hand to her mouth and fell to her knees, breath shaking as she realized what her imprint had done.
"Leah your breakfast is getting cold." Elizabeth said in a sing song voice and poked her head from behind the corner. When she saw how her mate was she flew up the stairs and gathered Leah into her arms.
"Wh-what did you do…" Leah whispered. Elizabeth followed her eyes to the body.
"Some ratty hotel wouldn't do for you my love so I picked the best house in town. I of course had to feed so that I wouldn't accidently bite you." Elizabeth said, rubbing her hair back.
"You have to promise me to become a vegetarian! I know some vegetarian vampires who will help you and you can live happily among humans with me." Leah said, gripping Elizabeth's front in desperation. Elizabeth looked sad but then nodded and hugged Leah close to her. Leah clung to her tightly, closing her eyes with a smile.
Elizabeth kept her eyes open as she rocked her love. She wouldn't give up her human blood, but she would pretend for her mate.
