Help

I looked around the woods on a high alert even though I was in human form, confirming no one around I started to remove the lavender coloured dress my mother had put on me for the wedding of Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen.

After the war with the newborn vampires and the co-operation and unity showed between the Cullens and the pack, we were sort of friends or rather frenemies, Billy, mom and the whole pack had an invitation to the wedding and well Billy, mom and Seth decided to go, Billy and mom to support Charlie and Seth because he actually liked the leeches and well they liked him back.

The Council had agreed for Bella to be turned into a vampire, because of many reasons, first was that she made that choice and wanted to be a vampire, second, it would be much safer with Bella able to fend for herself, no one said that aloud, of course. But Bella being vulnerable attracted a lot of trouble for innocent humans and that was not fair to them or us. The treaty was also upgraded to a rather friendlier and peaceful version, allowing the Cullens to stay on the land for a while longer and also including Charlie and Renee on the secret. Yes, Bella was thinking of telling Charlie that her husband was a blood-sucking vampire and soon she would be, too. But she had not made any final decisions. Thank God... A fun conversation that would be...

Dad, I am now a blood-sucking vampire, just like my husband and his family. Oh and your best friend's son and his friends morph into giant wolves to kill our kind.

I shake my head to clear my head of thoughts of Bella Swan and turn my thoughts to Jacob Black.

He had fled La Push two days ago.

Honestly, I don't phase for two days and they decide it is okay not to tell me that a member of our supposed family had run away.

'He needed some alone time.'

That could only be the reasoning of Almighty, sarcasm intended, Alpha, Sam.

Well when I learned about everything, just before leaving for the wedding, from Billy who was worried sick about Jake and was talking to mom about it. I glared at Sam, for his stupid analysis and Seth for not telling me earlier and then I slung my infamous shoulder bag and told my mom I was going to look for Jacob and promised Billy I would get him back and then I left the house.

Being a female, whilst being a shape-shifter, I had problems, loads of problems. One of them was clothes. Boys only needed a pair of shorts that could be tied to their leg but well my need of garments of more than that.

After I gained control of my phasing, I pulled out my old shoulder book-bag and phased with it, across my shoulder, it did not tear into pieces and after practice I could run with ease even with the bag on me and so instead of tying my clothes to my leg, I put them in my bag.

It was unusual and I was obviously teased by the pack, minus Sam, about it.

Even Seth called me 'the wolf with the bag', I did not mind.

So, I removed my clothes and placed them in the bag and phased.

Jake? You can hear me? I screamed, mentally. For a few moments there was no response and I thought Jacob was in human form but then,

Leah? What are you...? He thought back but I did not let him complete his thought.

What the hell, Jacob? What the hell do you think you are doing? How dare you run away like that? Come back this instant! Do you know how worried Billy has been? He was close to crying. I screamed at him through our mind link.

I needed to be alone... He thought weakly.

That was selfish, Jake. I replied, I want you to come back, this instant and then we will talk.

Talk? There is nothing to talk! She... she is marrying him and she will then be...a- He could not even think about it. I felt a pang of sadness for him but then I realized that my mission was to bring him back.

Look, you knew it was bound to happen, she was engaged to him for God's sakes. Unless you were hoping... oh God you were actually hoping she would come back to you! I thought, surprised. He had done a good job of concealing it from the pack.

You don't understand, Leah. He shot back, angrily.

And that is where you are wrong, I thought, showing him the memories with Sam, quite similar to the ones I had seen on him about Bella, We have a lot in common, and you and Bella, it was few months but for me and Sam, we were together for years, Jake. I know the hurt, I know what it feels like to see someone you love kiss someone else, look at them so adoringly, so filled with love... the way they never looked at you before. I got carried away, images of Sam and Emily and their love-filled moments flashed between us, at the same time there were flashes of Bella and Edward standing together, holding hands or Bella just looking at Edward, it was such a simple gesture, but the adoration and love was evident even to me. I felt pathetic, here I was trying to comfort and bring back Jacob and instead I was crying my sorrows.

Don't feel guilty. Jacob's thought floated towards me, he was closer, I could feel it, If anyone should feel guilty, it should be me.

You? I asked flabbergasted.

I knew what you were feeling and I knew how it felt, yet I did not help you but here you are. He thought, he was rapidly approaching, another one of the wolf-y super senses made us realize the vicinity of our pack members.

Yes, Black, here I am and you did help me, you did not treat me any different than other pack members or like shit, like Sam's gang does and I don't remember you calling me a bitch even once, though technically you would be right. Besides, you helped me at the time of ... of Dad's death and that was the time I needed someone the most. I know you were still devastated with the fact Bella left to find Edward but you helped me nonetheless. That is all I could ask for. I don't need anyone's sympathy.

I know, believe me, I do. At this moment sympathy is not something I would appreciate and that is why...

That is why you left? I asked.

Partly, yes the pain was unbearable and I did not want to face it but I was tired of everyone treating me like a fragile thing. Even Sam was sympathizing.

If not in my wolf form, I would have chuckled, Sam sympathizing was somehow a funny concept. A mental image flashed in head, with Jacob sitting on the couch with his head in his hands and Sam had his hand on his shoulder with a caring look on his face.

You have a wild imagination, Leah. Jacob thought, I could feel that his spirits had risen.

Come back home, Jake, no use running. I thought back, I can help, trust me.

I will... Jacob thought back, Only if you let me help you.
