"Leah.." His voice is hoarse as he whispers her name to the night air.
Of course, there's no response. He's alone. It seems like he's always been alone. Always in search of something; never finding it.
Everything he ever cherished; he lost. His mother, Bella, eventually Billy. Now Leah too. He had to go after her; that much he knew. But he couldn't make his feet work. He stared at the ground and felt salty tears well up in his eyes.
For the first time in years, tears fell from Jacob Black's eyes.
She looked behind her as she heard the faint call of her name. She awaited the footsteps that never came. She ran, flying at a blinding pace on all fours. She ran without discretion, without intention. She ran for the pure sake of running.
She left Leah Clearwater behind. There was nothing left for her anymore. She just kept running.
