CHAPTER I: EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE [THE POLICE]

DISCLAIMER: SM OWNS ALL, NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED

Hello all, I hope that you are excited for the next phase of Leah's life in the sequel to WANT. This story is appropriately called NEED for reasons that will become known to you during our journey. I know that its been awhile, I have been busy with academia but now that is finished and this is being uploaded WAY early because of message I received from Tobi-is-Fluffy-Chan whom was wondering when this was coming. I'm currently beginning chapter 5 of an unknown amount. Bare with me because this story is still a major work in progress. As always please read and review, and thank you for reading. We are picking up right where we left off, so without further ado…

Previously:
"LEAH!" I heard Edward yell out again.

My arms were pinned to my side as I struggled against his hold. He was dragging me across the room, and I tried to phase but I was too scared. I screamed as he hoisted me up and grabbed my keys from their hook on the wall. He put his hand over my mouth.

"Shut up or I'll kill you." He sneered. "It wouldn't take much, just a flick of my wrist, but I don't want to do that."

Tears poured down my face. He tilted his head.

"Don't cry baby." He whispered, removing his hand from my mouth to wipe my face.

"Who are you?" I croaked feeling fresh tears fall down my face.

He smiled at me, pulling me close to him. "I am everything," He said pressing a kiss to my forehead.

I flinched and tried to move away from him, but his grip on me was too strong.

"Get in the car and drive."

I didn't move.

"NOW!" He yelled, "We don't have much time."

I numbly got into the car and began to drive.

As I drove, I looked at La Push, really looked because I knew that I would never again see this place.

EDWARD POV

She's gone.

He took her and now she's gone.

Once I heard the car leave through the phone, I had to resist the urge to crush my cell in my hands. I was helpless. I was angry. How could I not make it to her? How could I call myself her friend after failing her so?

I dialed Billy Black's number, still barely keeping myself in check. I couldn't break down just yet. There were things that still needed to be done.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Black, this is Edward Cullen."

"What do you want?"

I sighed, "Something has happened…

I was surprised how easily he let me on the reservation after I told him the situation. He was worried about Leah and as long it ensured her safety, I could be on their land till sunrise.

Before he hung up he asked why I had been calling Leah in the first place. I answered him honestly saying, "She is my friend."

The front door to her house was open and through it I could see just how hard she fought him.

That's my girl, I thought stepping over the threshold.

His scent was everywhere, and so was hers, but it was drenched in fear. From the family room to the kitchen, furniture and glass were all over the floor. In the center of the kitchen were the remnants of a table that was in pieces all across the linoleum. My eyes rapidly scanned every surface of the house, she might've gotten out unscathed since there were no traces of blood.

The beeping of a dial tone caught my attention, and I looked down at my feet to see house phone. I bent to pick it up and cradled it in my hands.

Flashback
I tightened my arms around her body, trying my best to hold her together.
"I will always be here for you, even when you don't want me too."
She moved pulling her body away from me, "You shouldn't make promises you can't keep."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't believe in them anymore."
"Then believe in me, believe in us."
Flashback end

He took her.
She's gone because you weren't fast enough.
You were not enough to save her.

No—I do not have time for that. I do not have time for the breakdown I deserve, because I am going to find her. I need her here… I need my friend.

LEAH POV

"My name is James, and you are Leah."
He didn't just say my name, he caressed it, and that scared me.
"You have no idea how long I have waited to meet someone like you. When I first saw you I knew you were going to be mine."
I looked over at him from the corner of my eye. He had this look in his eyes, like he couldn't believe that I was here, that this was a dream.
I wish this were a dream.

My cell phone started ringing and his eyes narrowed as he looked at me.
"Give me the phone," he roared.
My hands tightened on the steering wheel, but my palms were so sweaty that my grip slipped a bit causing us to swerve.
"Let me answer it, please, just to let them know I'm okay… for now."
His mask of anger turned to horror, "You think I'm going to hurt you?"

He reached out and laid a hand on my thigh, gently squeezing. "I would never hurt you."
"Do you believe me?" he asked.
"I will if you let me answer my phone."
He nodded.
I didn't even look to see who was calling when I answered.

"Hello?"
"Leah!" Edward yelled. "Where are you?"
I looked over at James, "I can't tell you that." I croaked as tears began falling down my face.
I sniffed loudly, "He said he won't hurt me, but I think he wants me to stay with him."
"No, Leah. I'm coming for you."
James began to growl.
"Did you hear me Leah? I said I'm coming for you, I will find you."

The phone was out of my hand before I could respond.
"You listen to me, she is mine. You will never find her, you will never see her again."
"I'm going to kill you." I heard Edward growl.
James laughed, "Oh Eddie, you'll have to find us first."

With that he threw my phone out the window.
I watched in the rearview mirror as my phone shattered as it collided with the pavement. That was the last connection I had to my family, to Edward, and I was really regretting not memorizing peoples phone numbers anymore.
Like you don't know Edward's by heart.
Not the time.
I had to find the light in this situation. If I didn't there was no way that I was going to make it.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as I aimlessly drove.
He looked over at me and smiled, this time is was less of a maniac.
"Wherever you wish." He said turning on the radio and pressing scan.
"I've been watching you for sometime, so I am quite aware of how your nature affects with the seer. The world is our oyster my love." He reached over and twirled a piece of my hair, "I wish you didn't cut it."

I jerked my head away from him.
"Oh, I love this song," he stopped the scanner and began to sing. "Every breath you take, every move you make, every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you."

How fitting the stalkers national anthem.
