Disclaimer: No, sadly I didn't come up with the Twilight Saga. Props to Stephanie && her crew(:

AN: This story takes place 3 1/2 years after the events of Breaking Dawn. In my world, Leah is five months younger than Jacob and Sam is five years older. Reneesme will reach her full age 7 years after Breaking Dawn. Hmm ... interesting. The story will continuously switch P.O.V. (Points of View).

Enjoy :D

Leah's POV;

A pair of new bloodsuckers had been on the loose causing havoc around LaPush. They sure gave us a run for our money. They were fast, and I knew what fast was. I hadn't slept in 96 hours yet I was determined to catch those little leeches, seeing as I was the only capable one.

I caught one of them and Paul caught the other. Yes, he got lucky.

But now here I am, home at last. Seth is out patrolling or something with the pack. I don't really know but I'm sure they're happy I'm getting some rest. You guessed it, that thought was in a sarcastic tone.

My mom wasn't home either; last I hear she had taken Charlie to the Cullen's house.

It was all peace and quiet.

I lied down on my small bed, barley fitting my whole body. I was lay consciously for only a couple of seconds until my eyes started to feel heavy. I decided that I wouldn't fight it and let myself drift.

Black.

I heard tires screeching. I felt myself twitch but I didn't wake up. I saw a car falling off some sort of cliff or hill. The image kept re-playing, then i saw it from a view as if i was under in the ditch. The bottom of the car was the most visible thing to me. I heard screaming coming from inside the car, it seemed to be getting louder. Then i realized that it was me screaming. I awoke, like they do in those movies when people sort of shoot up like pop-tarts. Except I wasn't sweating, just panting.
It was a weird and awkward dream to have.

I got up to fill myself a glass of water, then I tried to go back to sleep. I was successful and that time I had no dream, it was just darkness and a whole lot of nothing. It seemed like I was only out for minutes which probably meant that hours had gone by.

Jacob's POV;

As alpha I felt responsible for all of my pack, even out of tribe affairs.

I made my way to the Clearwater house. I knocked but no one answered and the door was unlocked so I walked in. I headed towards Leah's room and when I saw the door opened I peered inside. She was lying across her bed, she looked so peaceful and vulnerable. To think, we hated each other's guts and now she was the Beta of my pack. How things change, I had grown close to her and she to me. I hated to have to bring these horrible news to her. But better me than she find out from someone else.

She was strong, no doubt, but you can only be so strong. Just in case, I was here to be sure that she would be ok and to let her know I was here for her. The features on her faces were accentuated by the expressionless motion that swept across her face and even though she was a wolf, she seemed so graceful yet strong and agile at the same time.

I sat on the corner of her bed. I folded Seth's noted and put it in my back pocket. I have to just do this. I thought to myself. I shook her shoulder lightly but she didn't even budge. So I shook her slightly harder and this time she just cuddled up next to me.

"Leah wake up, I have some news for you."

She rubbed her eyes and slowly opened them while she stretched.

"Jacob?" She started to ask when a yawn beat her to it.

She pulled me next to her and we lay next to each other. "Let's go to sleep Jake." She said already half asleep. I took a stray strand of hair that covered her face and tucked it behind her ear exposing the smooth complexion of her skin. "Come on Leah, really. I have to, no you have to know this. It's important." She slowly opened her eyes, I sat up in hopes of showing her the importance of the issue.

"What kind of news?"

I had to be blunt about this. But at the same time I had to lay it as delicately as I could.

"Bad. Really bad Leah."

Leah's POV;

Bad? I thought to myself in wonder. I sat up this time and Jacob came to sit closer to me.

"What is it?" I asked anxiously. Had I really knocked out that long? Hmm, maybe. It was very early morning and now it was twilight. I felt his warm hand touch mine. Who would have thought? A couple years ago we couldn't even be spitting distance away from each other and now, here we are. Holding hands.

"Tell me please." I might have sounded like I was begging, I couldn't even tell.

He took a breath. "Leah, you're mom. She was in a-uh car accident.. she's unconscious and it doesn't look to bright for her."
What? The words shot like daggers throughout my chest, puncturing every side and angle of my body.
I heard the tires screeching like in my dream and suddenly my eyes felt swarmed with water. My vision became blurry. "I heard it Jake." I said with a pained expression, I couldn't even get the words out. I felt him squeeze my hand.

"What? What did you hear?"

"My mother, the car. I dreamt it." My eyes which were locked on the bed, now looked into his. The image, the sound, the screaming, it all played in my head repeatedly and i felt myself twitch. He hugged me, I didn't notice right away until his voice sounded so close.

"Tell me, what did you dream?"

I snapped out of my gaze a little as I heard the sobbing from my chest.
"Jake, I saw it. I dreamt it. The car crash. It, it was all in my head. And I had no idea my mom was dying at the moment. I was, so, so, so, IGNORANT! How could I not have known- "

He cut me off and released his embrace on my hands, he then preceded t cup my face in his hands.

"Leah, listen. There was nothing you could have done to prevent this."
Cliché.

"How is she? Be brutally honest."

He broke eye contact with me and looked around the room pointlessly or so it seemed to me. Then he gently kissed my forehead.

"She's ... bad. She's unconscious at the moment, in a sort of Intensive Care Unit state." Breathing
soon seemed to be more and more difficult. I started hyperventilating.

"Leah! Leah, she's in good hands! Don't worry. Carlisle is taking care of her personally at his home."
Oh no, my mother was surrounded by those little leeches, but if he could save her, then i loved that leech. But that wasn't the most troubling of my assumptions.

"No, no Jake. What if she dies? I mean, it'd all be my fault. I should have done something, helped her.." I started babbling. Talking, just pure non-sense I guess, I wanted to say so much at one time that my mouth couldn't nearly keep up with my brain. He started shaking my shoulders until I actually noticed he was doing so and finally looked at him.

"Jacob. My mother is all that me and Seth have. My father is- dead. That was my fault too."

"Hey, hey hey, look at me. One, it's not your fault. Two, don't even think you're alone, don't think so for one second. I'm always going to be here, and Seth will be too." Seth? My poor little brother, how was he coping? He was even closer to mom than me.

"Seth? Where is he? How is he?" I jumped off the bed and in the next second Jacob caught me by the arm and nodded side to side in disapproval as he looked down.

"What?" I asked impatiently. He reached into his back pocket and handed me a folded piece of paper that looked worn like it had been folded and refolded again time after time wearing away at the
edges.

Jacob,

I trust that my sister will be in good hands with you and the rest of the pack. Please take good care of her, I trust you especially as the leader of us, and I know you two have grown close. As for my mother, please no thoughts of her when you're a wolf. I don't know what I would do if I were to find out second hand that something happened to her. I've run towards the north and I'm fine, that is all i can tell you. Please make sure Leah understands that and ask her not to worry, I just need some time to meditate and think and stuff. She couldn't catch me, even with her speed I have a days head start on her. Oh yeah and tell her that I love her.

Thanks Jake, see you soon.
Seth.

"What?" I questioned.

Jacob looked puzzled at my indirect question.

"How did you let him run off like that?"

"I don't know." He seemed honest, but then again how would I know?

"I went to inform the pack, in my human form. I couldn't just morph into a wolf in a hospital waiting room. And then when I had returned Carlisle gave me the note and just said it was from Seth. He had respected our privacy enough not to open it. I promise Leah, I had no idea."

I decided not to debate the thought in my head and go with the gut instinct in my stomach. Besides, I had other things to worry about, like the fact my brother was where the Gods know where.

"No, no, no. I can catch him. I'm fast." I just jumped out of the window quickly and turned into my wolf form. Seconds later I heard another shredding of clothes.

Leah, don't.

I have to Jacob. I just have to.

Please?

My little brother is out there. What if something happens to him? Huh? I don't want to carry that on my shoulders, not that too.

I turned around and then I heard Jacobs scream rumble in my head.

LEAH! The first syllable of my name was coated in the Alpha tone he rarely used, but then it died out.

Jake I'm so sorry, I just-
I didn't want to finish so I just sprinted out into the abyss of the forest.

I ran faster and faster until I reached my top speed.

Seth, I know you can hear me. Come back.

Leah, I told you not to come looking after me.

Seth! Tell me where you are this instant!

Silence. Seth!

Nothing, no thoughts from Seth or the rest of the pack, if they were listening they were being wise to keep quiet. He probably came out of his wolf form, but I kept running. I didn't care.
Quil and Embry's voice in unison taunted me.
Leah, come on. It's no fun when you're not here to fight with us! Please!

I forgot their pleading and realized there was no use. I pondered around the forest for a while, I was lost. Darkness was creeping up and as much as I tried to remember my way back I couldn't, so much was running through my mind. I think they all got tired of it because it was quiet for about 30 minutes.

But then .. Lost? It was Jacob's voice.

Don't move I'm coming for you. Yeah, I followed you. Well I tried.

After a couple of minutes I phased into my human form. And how great was it that only part of my clothes had survived. Just the undergarments, hooray. Everything else was torn but I suppose that I should be thankful that I at least had that.

The great thing about my human form was that it made it so much easier for me to cry, here in the middle of nowhere, in silence.

I slowly laid on the grass, it was mildly humid but it served as some sort of comfort since it had long not been cut or tampered with. I felt warm water fall from my eyes and down my cheeks. There was an uncontrollable sob that seemed to be coming from me. My chest wasn't still due to the heavy breathing I constricted out of my lungs. The memories of my dream, my mother's deteriorating health, the uncertainty if she would be ok, and all the memories rushed into my mind like a sweeping wave. Then the most clear and painful memory returned. It was my fault my father was dead. This was all my fault I realized, I started sounding like a snobby whiny kid but I didn't care. I pounded on the floor. Why? In the silence, my words flooded the perimeter: Why did I cause such pain to people? Those whom I loved especially. Couldn't I just make someone happy, impact their life? Matter to someone, love someone and have them love me?

I yelled that last line into the air, into nothing and cried even harder. All unwillingly. The redundant silence answered my question as a 'no'.

Then suddenly through the trees I heard a rumbling. Jacob walked through some leaves and branches in his human form. Bare chested and noticeably handsome. Wow, I couldn't believe the erratic thoughts in my head but in some certain depth of myself I knew it was kinda sorta true.

I tried to get up but my body was non-respondent, so I just laid there still feeling the tears roll down my face.

Jacob's POV;

There she lay, crying. I had heard her screaming those utterly repulsive understated thoughts. Her sobbing, her repeated questions if she could matter to someone, it was non-sense! She mattered to me and as far as I was concerned I was someone. I don't think she fully understood the extent of my feelings for her and even perhaps— neither did I.

The moonlight hit her almost perfectly, it reflected on the streaks of water left behind from her tears, and her absolutely gorgeous face. It defined the shape of her legs, abdomen and chest, her beautifully sculpted feminine figure.

At the moment of all these assumptions I realized that for the first time I was actually really looking at a girl. I mean I really noticed a girl since Bella. But the most surprising thing to me was that it was Leah whom I noticed. Oddly enough I was kind of ok with that.

I walked over to her limp body. It seemed as if she had stopped crying.

"Where are we?" She managed to ask, not without obvious effort.

"About 48 miles from the reservation, come one let's get going. We gotta get you home."

She didn't seem to cooperate.

"I don't wanna go home." She acted like a kid, worse than Embry. I wasn't that good at dealing with this. I felt helpless, so I did only what seemed to be rational at the moment. I slowly wiped her tears.

"I can't Jake, I can't face it." I lay down next to her and embraced her with care, she looked so fragile. The heat from our bodies united into one fire we were both willing to withstand. She intertwined her legs with mine and hugged me tighter, I held her at the waist.

"Thanks.. for... caring."

"There's no need to be thankful. You know I care for my pack in every way possible."

"Yeah .." She thought for a second then violently set my hands free from the embrace in which I held her in. She distanced herself from me.

"I bet if I wasn't part of your little pack you wouldn't care at all. You see this as a burden just because I AM part of your pack." What? What in the hell was she talking about.
"Hey! Remember you and your brother were the ones urging me to call this a pack and you insisted on joining!"

"So you're admitting it! You know I wish I were dead! Then I could stop being such a hassle to everyone! Including you. "

This woman! It was impossible to argue!

She sat up and was ready to get up when I stopped her.

"Cards on the table, Leah. Seriously why are you doing this? I thought you had changed, that the depression, it was gone. But I guess I was wrong." I thought for a second, repeated the phrase in my head. Ok, it sounded a bit harsh.

"What?" She started with an alarmingly non-furious tone.

"My mother is on the verge of death, my father is already dead. And, my cousin, my best friend is getting married to my e boyfriend whom I loved with all my heart. Oh yeah and my brother is gone..I thought you would understand."

Well, it did make sense.. but still. I was confused myself, maybe I got mad at her because... because I hated her being so depressed.

"Look I'm sorry Leah, it's just I hate seeing you like this. It's not your fault." She started crying again.

She looked down to the floor but I tilted her chin up to face me.

" .. and hey, you do matter. Pack or no pack. You really matter to me.."

".. but how can I be so sure? What guarantee do I have that you're not lying to me."

I knew how to prove it to her. How to answer her question.

Leah's POV;

He kissed me.

I didn't know why, I was overcome with an odd sensation. A sensation of submission and ... enjoyment. The kiss was unexpected. it was intense, and ... it was passionate.

The thoughts of us being here and doing this and the presence of Reneesme in the future made me hesitant.

I pulled back a little, just enough to separate our lips but keep our foreheads together.

"Jake.."

Then out of the bush there came another rumbling.

It was Sam.
