Hey! So this is my new story. This takes place instead of Renesme being born. I had to find somewhere in between for love to blossom. Yes it's Jacob and Leah. I don't care much about Renesme. So tell me how you like it and please review. Any kind of criticism is welcome.
Summary: It was a lukewarm spring night. One of the best we've had here on the reservation. All in all it was a goodnight. Until I came across a smell that burned my nose: Vampire.
Disclaimer: Gosh do I hate these things. But a Fanfiction writer's got to do, what a Fanfic writer had to do. So with great displeasure *sniff sniff* I do not own twilight, but I do own the plot of this story.
It was a lukewarm spring night, you know the kind where the grass slightly sways in the breeze, the temperature a perfect 75 degrees. With the twilight quickly approaching and the stars shinning brightly in the sky, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to take a walk through the forest.
So I venture off to my only solace. Meanwhile, the rest of the group/pack was enjoying a bonfire off by Sam's house. I was invited, but being by all of those couples with their lovey-dovey eyes and their PDA crap, I just couldn't stand it. Beside, I've been told so many times before to stop being a sourpuss and to stop raining on everyone's parade. (If I wanted to rain on their parade, I probably would have popped their balloons instead) So I left, snuck away into the night, away from something I could never have.
As I walked through the forest, my eyes and ears alert, I couldn't help but think of Jake. He has been really, oh what's the word, overprotective this week of me and Seth. This had all started with some disappearances by a two of the pack members. Embry and Colin had disappeared and all that remained from each of them were their shirts and the smell of vampire. A different vampire for each of the two disappearances.
Everyone was really shaken up about it, but it seemed to me that Quil, Sam and Jacob had really taken it hard. Especially after what Sam seemed to dig up.
(Flashback)
Another member of Sam's pack had been taken last night: Colin, one of the cubs. He was supposedly patrolling in the forest with Brady. Brady has squealed that he heard a sound and went to check it out. When he came back to look for Colin, he was gone. It's so sad but-
I was interrupted in writing in my journal by my phone ringing. 'Here Comes Trouble Again' by Honor Society blasted through the room. Sighing, I got up and reached for my phone on my dresser. It was Sam. I wonder what he had wanted.
I flipped open the phone. "Hello?" I said, unsure of what Sam had wanted, since he rarely ever called me after our breakup.
"Leah? It's me Sam. I need you to come over to Emily's house-now," he finished sounding worried.
"Why what happened? Is it Seth?" I said worried, my maternal and sisterly instincts kicking in.
"No, it's not Seth, it's about Colin and Embry. Listen, I'm sending Jake over to come and get you. Seth and the rest of the pack are already on there way," Sam replied.
"Great, a babysitter. Just what I need, a babysitter. Just screw it. I'll be over soon," I said sarcastically, hanging up the phone.
I looked over at my clock, it read 9:30 pm in bright neon green numbers.
Sighing, I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, pulled on a grey sweatshirt to go over my tank top, and grabbed my phone and keys. At the time, I didn't really cared what I looked like in my soft black bunny shorts and an orange tank with a grey sweatshirt, but this concerned the pack so it wouldn't matter. Besides, the guys had seen me in far less clothes before. Poor Quil, still scarred for life.
Anyway, I grabbed me keys and ran downstairs, stopping only to put on my shoes and, to shut and lock the door. I ran to my baby. It's a light blue Volkswagen bug with tan leather seating. I got in the car and adjusted the heating. I was just about to put the car in drive, when a black vehicle pulled up behind me.
I quickly turned off the car and shrunk down in my seat.
"Crap," I muttered as I saw Jacob stepping out of the car in all of his glory.
Now don't get me wrong, I jump at any chance I can have to get me and Jake alone, but tonight, I wanted just the opposite. I needed time to sort out my feelings for him, but that obviously wasn't going well. Maybe if I just stay absolutely still and not move, he won't know I'm here.
Jake closed the door to his car and jogged up to the house, ringing he doorbell. He ran right past me! I'm pretty sure luck was on my side tonight. After five, yes count 'em, five seconds of standing there on the porch and having no one answer, he knocked down the door and ran inside.
I sat there in shock. He. Broke. Down. The. Door. For. Me.
Woa.
` Al least, that's what I was thinking at the time. It wasn't until we got to Emily's house did I really find out why he crushed down my door.
Sitting there in my stupor, I didn't notice Jake coming out the door, his hands running through his hair and a worried, like all hell will break lose, expression on his face.
Suddenly, a knock on my window shook me out of my stupor. I screamed. The door was wrenched open and Jacob picked me up and gave me a huge hug, while twirling me around.
My screams were soon quieted as I realized it was just Jake. Why I screamed, I will never know.
"Oh, Leah, don't ever scare me like that again ever!" Jake said softly, letting me down.
"Why, afraid you'll have to pay for the door?" I asked snickering.
"No" he said with a straight face. "Leah, look. After Embry had disappeared, I thought he was just trying to gain attention, since he has been alone lately. But that wasn't it. And now Colin's gone too. I just, I'm afraid to lose you too." All while he was saying that, he stared into my eyes and I could have sworn I almost saw tears. "So will you please promise me that until this vampire is caught, you wont do this to me again? I can't lose you Le-Le."
Oh god how I hated that name. But right then and there, I loved it. I had actually felt liked by someone other than Seth and my parents. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. That and the fact I didn't know what to say.
" Yea, ok, I promise," I said after a few seconds, looking down at my shoes.
"Ok, good. Now come on, Sam has something he wants to tell us about the case," And with that, he scoped me up bridal style and walked to his car. He opened up the passenger door for me.
"For m'lady," Jake said grinning.
"Why, thank you kind sir," I said grinning and sitting down. After about five minutes of mindless chatter, we arrived at Emily's house.
"Alright, let's get this over with," I muttered stepping out of the car, Jake following my lead.
I shut the car down and jogged to the porch. I rang the doorbell and after a few seconds, heard a pair of feet running to the door. It was Emily who had opened it.
"Leah, Jacob! Come on it. The others have already left and gone out on patrol," Emily said, gesturing for us to come inside. The house looked warm and inviting with the soft glow of candles illuminating the entrance.
So me and Jake, stepped inside and took of my shoes and coat. I wanted to get in and out of here fast, seeing as it brings back unpleasant and painful memories. I quickly ran toward the kitchen, not even greeting Emily or bothering to look at the pictures on the wall.
"Leah, thank goodness-" Sam started, but I cut him off.
" Yea, Yea, cut the crap. Just tell what's so damn important that you had to call me at 9:30 at night and interrupt my sleep?!" Ok so the last part was a lie but I wanted him to feel bad.
"Well, I just thought you would like to know my theory on Embry and Colin," Sam said all smug-like.
Asshole
"Asshole. But fine while we're here…." I trailed off, raising an eyebrow. Suddenly, I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist and sat me down in a chair. I looked behind me and saw Jacob, holding me from behind, me sitting on his lap.
"Yes Sam, enlighten us," Jake said.
"Fine." Sam sat down in a chair across form us. "You know how Embry and Colin don't have imprints?" Sam asked us in a serious tone.
Jake and I nodded, I however, had no idea where this was going.
"Good. Well, a vampire could have been spying on them, harvesting their loneliness, and then used that time to strike, therefore weakening the pack," Sam finished looking straight at me. Damn. So that's where this was going.
Well, Sam was right. I mean especially with Brady imprinting on some Sarah chick, they have both been a little out of it.
I was shocked. As in couldn't move shocked. I was a lonely wolf. I could be next! Or Seth! I vaguely remember Sam telling Jacob something and then him picking me up as I passed out.
(End Flashback)
I shake my head, trying to clear the memory. Sigh. It may have only been two days ago, but I swear it seemed like 20. I keep walking for a few minutes, not really sure of where I was going, or of the time that was passing. Something suddenly compels me to stop and look up at the sky. The stars were twinkling brightly and it was a full moon. Great. Every time it's a full moon, something weird always seems to happen.
A slow, unnatural breeze moves through the woods, and suddenly, the temperature drops. I decide to keep walking, to try to decipher were I was. Usually, I am very good with directions, but after that last flashback, my mind is in a fog.
"Leah! Leah," I hear a voice calling out to me. "Come on Leah, this isn't funny!" I hear my little brother Seth yelling. I smiled. Typical Seth. Always worrying. So, I start walking towards Seth's voice, knowing that if I don't find him soon, I'd face a wrath 10 times worse than the pack and my mother combined.
"Seth I'm-" I start, but out of the corner of my eye, I see a bush rustling. Crap. It was probably just a bunny. Geez, when did I become such a scaredy cat-I mean wolf- you know what I mean. I realize I probably shouldn't have gone out in the forest alone, especially with a rouge vampire on the lose. But then again, I am a highly seductive, highly trained female wolf, so I'm not worried….much.
Suddenly a smell crossed my nose so hard, it burned-Vampire.
