I walked, more of ran toward the Cullen house. My least favorite place to be. All with the leeches and everything, the stink was unbearable. But my dear, dear Alpha was there and I had no choice but to go the the-what I called- the Crypt. I jumped over the branches and twigs and mad my way to the Crypt. It wasn't that long of a walked, considering my long legs and my almost never ending energy.
The house finally came into view and I stood there a few minutes watching.
The volturi had come that very day and after all consoling and crying and dying everything had finally gone back to normal. I was a little bit cheered up by the fact that most of the leeches had left.
"Hello, my dear Alpha." I said when I entered the living room and immediately felt like bawling. I shut my mouth and stood not touching anything, not even breathing.
Jacob had Renesmee on his lap. Alice and Rosalie were talking Huilen, the half-breed's aunt. Jasper and Emmett were lying on the floor playing a game of chess. Edward and Bella were nowhere to be found, no doubt at their smaller Crypt.
"Hello, Beta." he said tickling Renesmee.
"Aren't you going to like go home, for today?" I asked breathing the horrible smell and wincing.
"Yeah, I'll go there. I'm just playing with Nessie." he answered carelessly as he tickled her harder and she laughed. I hesitated for a moment and settled down on the carpet. Esme smiled from a nearby armchair. I glared back at her.
"So…" I dragged not knowing what to say. The thing I hated the most, awkwardness within the leeches.
"Do you want anything to eat Leah?" Esme asked.
"No thank you. i'll survive." I said. "Are you coming or not?" I shot at Jacob.
"Listen," he said turning around and sarong at me. "I almost lost my imprint today and all you can talk about is when to get home and blah … blah … blah-"
"Well, you get to keep her for the rest of eternity I just thought perhaps that you would want to spend some quality time with your father." I said through my gritted teeth.
"What you mean is," he said smirking. "-you can get to go home. i've told you a million times Leah, if you want to go home. .. you can, I'm not stopping you. It's the same for Seth."
"But you are my Alpha. … I can't just leave you behind."
"Try doing it. It's fun."
"I got up from my position on the floor and went and shot out my hand and hit him hard on his head.
"OUCH! Leah seriously!" he said rubbing his head.
"I'm going," I announced and turned and bumped straight into somebody. I looked up and my heart stopped beating, my mind stopped thinking, my hands stopped working.
It was the half-breed. Nahuel. And yet the simple thought of his name pulled me toward him so much. And as I realized what was happening, I grabbed my hair with my hands and did the last thing I thought I would do. I ran outside.
Because I had just imprinted.
