Howl to My Heart
Chapter 1: Leaving
The moon. It was bright, beautiful, and almost everyone loved it. Why couldn't I be that way? My mom always reminded me that I was beautiful with my copper skin, glistening black hair, and sleek curves, but no one else saw me in that way; especially the pack. To the pack I was Leah- the one and only bitch of the pack, always there in their thoughts; bitching, fighting, and dealing with the pain, but that would all change. This would be the last time I sat under the moon here in La Push. Sam no longer loved me, Jake no longer cared for me, and Seth no longer needed me; I was leaving.
"Leah, you don't have to leave. Stay here with me, come on sis," Seth pleaded.
"Stay with you? I don't think so, I've had enough of you," I replied jokily and ruffled his hair. The truth was I was gunna miss him. He was my little bro and we had always been really close, especially when we went through our "changes".
"You know what I mean. I'll miss you," he said with a smile.
"I'll miss you too, but I'll come around." I couldn't believe this he was going all mushy like he loved me. For the past year he had been glued to Jake's side, always following him around like a puppy, and ignoring me. Now he wanted me to be his sis.
"Well come here, give me a hug," I snapped. This new found gushiness he had found was pissing me off.
"I don't know, you might have fleas," he teased. I grabbed him and gave him a hug.
"I'll miss you, too. Be good and take care of mom."
"I will. Now leave, your making this a sad goodbye." We both laughed and I headed out the door to my little beat up piece of crap. I opened the driver's door and got in.
Here I go, it was my turn. I had to move on. I waved to Seth and mouthed bye while trying to fight back the tears. I backed out of the driveway; this was it I was by myself. Headed to New Jersey, headed to Ocean County College, and hopefully headed to a new life.
I was only on the road for about twenty seconds, when I saw a huge wolf running behind me. Sam? Of course not, as soon as I saw the rusty brown coat I knew who it was. I sped up. I was faster than him in wolf form and I had to be faster than him now. I laughed with happiness as he tried to keep up. I guess he was finally getting pissy, because all of a sudden the monstrous animal was in front of me. The wolf turned his head and gave me a snide smile. I stuck my tongue out and followed him.
