I don't understand why we need to find the leech-lover. Paul grumbled once Sam explained the situation and why we were called.

Well when we find her-

If. Paul interrupted causing Sam to let out a warning growl.

If she is injured by them it breaks the treaty. Sam finished

She is also the daughter of Chief Swan who is a good friend to two of our Elders. I reminded them.

Which is why Billy has asked us to do this. Now spread out and avoid being spotted by the search party. Sam directed and it was a couple of minutes at a fast pace run before I came across the stench of leech with a small underlying smell of strawberries.

Think I found her guys. I slowed down as I jumped over a large bush into a small clearing only to curse as I heard a gasp from the small brunette sitting at the base of a tree only 8 feet away

Seriously Jared! Sam yelled to be heard over Pauls laughter through the link.

I leaned my head back against the tree after realizing that I had sprained my ankle pretty badly. I growled to myself. Today had been both a good and bad day. I woke up from a really strange dream to see that my window and curtains were still closed, indicating that Edward hadn't visited during the night. After going through my usual morning routine, eating breakfast, saying a quick good-bye to Charlie on my way out. Still no Edward. At school no Edward and no Cullens. I go through it in a slight fog, realizing that I know what some people are going to say or do before they do it. By the time I leave school and pull up to my house to see Edward standing there waiting for me, I know that the dream I've been having for the past few days is happening, and I'm finally going to be free.

I follow him into the woods trying to cover my anger over how far he is leading me, trying to look worried, and confused. I play my part when he makes his speech, reminding myself to hold my breath as he leans closer, kisses my forehead and leaves. I look around myself. I wait 10 minutes before making my way back home only to trip over and fallen tree and sprain my ankle. I didn't remember that part in my dream.

I had manage to figure out that the Cullens are assholes. Well Alice and Edward are, who knows who else. While on the run from James, Jasper had realized that the two had been using there pheromones and dazzling to keep me complacent. Sweet Jasper had allowed me to figure it out by letting me run off to meet James, staying near by enough to keep me safe. The distance between myself and the Cullens had allowed my head to clear, only for things to get worse. James biting me allowed Edward to slip a bit of his own venom under my skin when he removed the venom from James.

Jasper showed me his own scars while explaining that when vampires bite they leave venom behind which is where the scar comes from. We started to plan secretly a way to get me out from under their control. It took a couple of months. He had to use his own gift to give me enough of my own mind so that we were able to plan the disaster of my birthday party.

The night of my party I got my dreams and now I sat against the tree grabbing at my chest waiting for the chance to finally be released.
