AN: I got a request from Brankel1 who wanted a Leah and Alistair story so I decided to do an ABC guide to them since people seem to like my ABC guide stories. This will be a three part like some of the others due to health issues and personal matters.
A- Alistair. What kind of name was Alistair? To Leah Clearwater it sounded like the name of a rock band. She knew a lot of people with odd names for this time period, but when Carlisle and Esme introduced her to the nomad vampire, the first thing which caught her attention was his odd name and not the fact he was a bloodsucker and not like the Cullen family who dined on Bambi's mother or some other helpless animal.
In true Leah fashion, words just spilled out of her mouth before she could stop to think about it beforehand. "What drugs were your parents on when they named you Alistair?"
B- Birth. "The birth of the half child is going to be the death of us all." A smooth silky voice sounded from somewhere behind the she-wolf and she whirled around to see the dirty blond vampire looking down at her from much higher branch. "As a shifter I do not understand how you could have allowed this to happen."
Leah glared up at him while at the same time wishing he were on the ground so she could look him straight in the eye. "You know, for someone who is supposed to be 'not a people person,' you sure are a nosy parasite. I'll have you know I wanted to kill the spawn before it was born, but I had two choices in front of me; I could either stay in the main pack with my ex and a bunch of guys who hated me, or I could join Jake and my brother to help protect the Cullen family and I took the lesser of two evils. When you meet Sam then you will understand. I'd face the Volturi everyday if it meant I didn't have to see his face or hear his voice."
C- Caballing. Jacob wasn't he liked the odd friendship Leah had with Carlisles old friend Alistair. They were always standing together in a far corner whispering who knows what and it kind of freaked Jake out. He was supposed to be Leah's best friend and then this leech comes in to the picture and the alpha wolf wouldn't be surprised if they were caballing against everyone else; after all it was something the female shifter excelled at.
D- Djinn. "If you could be any other mythical creature, what would you be and why?" It was Alistair who asked the question and it was probably the most he had spoken to any since arriving. He tended to open up more when around Leah and that was saying a lot to anyone who knew him on a personal level.
"I think I would want to be a Djinn." She replied from her position on a large boulder where she had been reading. The great thing about Alistair was the fact he didn't force her to talk if she didn't want to do so; they could be perfectly content just sitting in silence for hours. "The Djin is probably the only mythical creature Hollywood has to screw up. I could influence people for good or evil and I would get to grant wishes, which would be fun for me because I know I could find a way to totally screw up every single wish in some way or another."
The male vampire smirked. "You are devious and evil Leah Clearwater."
"Oh, I know that already, but thanks for the compliment." She replied with a smirk of her own.
E- Elegy. Leah had fallen asleep on afternoon letting the sun warm her body while she slumbered and Alistair noticed she had left the journal she was always writing in open. He knew reading it would an invasion of her privacy and yet he couldn't seem to stop himself. He had to know if she was writing about him and if yes, then what had she written?
Moving slowly so to be sure he did not wake the female shifter, he slid the small book from her hand. To his surprise it was not a journal, but rather a book of poetry. He skimmed a few pages and realized the poetry had an air of elegy to it. While she may not show it on the outside, through her writing he could tell she was a very emotional person and at this time in her life those emotions were not exactly happy fluffy bunny thoughts. Glancing at Leah and sliding the book of poetry back in to her hand, he silent vowed to do what he could to make her life better. His inner compass was pulling him towards her, letting Alistair know this is where he needed to be for the time being.
F- Facula. The first time Alistair told Leah the true depth of his feelings for her, she had no idea what he was talking about. "Leah, you are the facula in my life. I never thought I would feel this way about anyone, but then you came along and-"
"Hold up one second." She interrupted while at the same time pulling out her phone and using the dictionary it had to look up the word 'facula' and as soon as she got the meaning memorized, she put her phone back in her pocket and smiled slightly. "That's probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me before, but in the future you may want to use words common for this century or our entire relationship will consist of my head lost in the pages of a dictionary. If you need an example then instead of saying what you said, you should have said, "Leah, oh awesome shifter you are, you are the sun to my moon and the stars to my sky. Anyways, if you substitute my name for yours, well I feel the same as you do."
G- Gin. "What's your poison?" Alistair asked once they entered the club full of humans. "Obviously they don't sell my brand here, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a good drink in case we die at the hands of the Volturi in two days time."
Her eyebrow rose as she let out a deep sigh. "Well since you seduced with your words of death, get me a gin, better make that the bottle and not just a shot glass because I want to get drunk and you're going to help me achieve that goal. You better not try to take advantage of my drunken state either because if you do, I'll bite your head off once I am sober again."
