A/N Ok as pointed out in a review by a friend leopards aren't normally plain black but for the sake of my story this one is ok? :D Good
Chapter 2
The wolves growled as they saw the position of the leopard. I started to back up away from the wolves but i didn't want distance from the leopard which was strange. Suddenly it turned its head to glance at me and then it shot into the trees to my left and the wolves paid me no attention and instead followed the leopard. This confused me even more. I was the weakest and food to the wolves, so why would they leave me and go after the leopard that, when i think about it now, seemed to be able to run a lot faster than i would have thought possible. A speed that i thought only vampires could reach. I quickly shook that thought out of my head, vampires was a topic i did not allow myself to think about. Wait, what was i doing stood hear thinking why i hadn't been killed, i should be moving now before either came back for me. At first i paid no attention to the direction in which i was heading and i tripped about 5 times before i thought about getting the compass i had brought with me out to get back to my truck. The forest seemed more sinister now on the way back than the magical mysterious place it had been this morning trying to find the meadow. After about another 2 hours of frantic searching i finally emerged from the edge of the trees ad there in front of me was my truck. It had never been more welcoming. And yet i had a strange urge to find the beautiful, sleek leopard that had stood so protectively in front of me. I couldn't understand it, it was a wild animal that could have possibly killed me, but for some strange reason i couldn't bring myself to be scared of it. It took me another 5 minutes of sitting contemplating this situation in my head to realise that since i had seen the leopard the hole in my chest had vanished. It hadn't healed rather it was like there had never been one there. In the end i decided that i wouldn't be able to come up with a solution so i headed back home. The urge to go back was like a chain that had attached to it and it was straining to stretch the further i was from it. It seemed like no time for me to reach home but when i got there the front door was not there, it had been pulled off its hinges and was lying on the floor. Charlie's cruiser was there and so i was worried. I slowly got out of the cab of my truck and walked with heavy feet into the hallway of my house. It had a foreboding feel to it and i was getting stressed as i slowly made my way into the front room and stopped in tracks as i saw the pool of blood that encircled my father's head. It was obvious that this was not caused by a human but the vampire had not drank from him. He was pale and his eyes were lifeless. I couldn't move for a couple of minutes and then i couldn't hold it in anymore. With a scream i ran from the house, instead of entering my truck i headed into the forest, the further i managed to get into the forest the safer and calmer i felt, It was as thought there was something or someone that my body recognized as existing in the forest that would help and little did i know that my body knew more than my mind.

After leaving Bella my family had fallen into a fit of despair. We were all different, ad not in a good way. It felt as though my heart, although it didn't beat anymore, was only half there, it was missing pieces. I tried to live normally for my families sake but it was hard, most of the time all i did was sit in my room and listen to the CD that reminded me of her. The rest of the family were sat in their couples downstairs, enjoying each other's company. It made me want to get out the house, i couldn't stand the thoughts of love that was reaching me from them. So instead of having to pass them, i headed out my window and sprang down the tree that stood there and headed into the forest that was so close to the house that it seemed as though the house was a part of the forest. ( The house looks the same as the one in forks) I thought I'd never find anyone that i could feel the same with as i had with Bella. It was strange but as i headed into the forest my heart started to feel as though my heart was beating again and the holes were slowly disappearing as i headed into deeper into the forest. Suddenly deciding to hunt, i detected the scent of a mountain lion, numnumnum (Alex's favourite saying lmao Love ya Alex) my favourite of my prey. Letting my instincts lead me i soon found where the lion was stood but before i could tackle it,someone else did. She drained the lion and then she seemed to sense me stood watching her and she slowly turned. My heart was whole again, not healed but as though it had never been broken. She was beautiful. It was then that i realised that the girl who i had thought as my soul mate had not been, Bella would always be my first love but this beautiful creature in front of me. I felt a connection to her that i had never felt before. Before i could speak i heard the rest of my family appear beside me.
