Fuck. I lost it. Losing myself was probably not the best thing to do at a time like this. I'm going to have some trouble really controlling my thoughts from now on too. Maybe I shouldn't phase for a while, just to calm myself and clear my thoughts.

Bella had already made her way back to her house. I leaned against a tree trying to gain my composure. I closed my eyes and let my head fall back. I could smell rain.

I leaned against that tree for a long while. It took all I had to regain my composure. I had to laugh at that, since it took so little to lose it. I lifted my clothes from the forest floor and tied them to my ankle. Phasing back, I took some time to run some more sweeps before Jacob would come take over again.

I was so glad that I never had contact with the mind-reading bloodsucker. If I did, after today, there would be some issues with the treaty. Like he would probably attack me, and I would do the same to him. I'm pretty sure that no matter what the cause, it was against the treaty. It was lucky that the leech couldn't read Bella's mind, or at least that was what I had hear.

Leah! Sam called out in my head.

What?

Where have you been?

Great, on comes the scolding. I was yelling at Bella for being out in the woods.

She was in the woods, by herself? I heard Jacob ask. I guess he was awake.

Yes. Now will you come back so I can leave this fucking rank area?

Christ Leah…. I'm on my way, bitch.

I growled and began running back towards La Push, but decided against going the direct route. If I crossed too closely to Jacob, he would smell Bella all over me. I took a wide detour around Forks, and once I was back in La Push, I went straight for First Beach.

With my back paw, I worked the clothing loose from around my ankle until it fell to the ground. Still in my wolf form, I sprinted towards the water and took a flying leap into it. I wasn't worried about anyone reporting a giant bear flying into the water. I had scouted the beach pretty thoroughly before taking my plunge.

I emerged slowly, keeping an eye out for beach goers. When I was positive that I was in the clear I sprinted back to the area where I had dropped my clothes. As an extra precaution, I rubbed my fur against one or two of the surrounding trees. When I was fairly positive the scent was masked, I took my clothes in my mouth and ran home.

I had heard the guys muttering in the back of my mind, but no one had been speaking to me, so I ignored it. Except when Jacob commented to me directly.

Did you touch Bella? I heard him think.

What the fuck are you talking about?

When you were yelling at her, did you push her or hit her, anything like that?

You have to be fucking kidding me Jacob. I may be a girl; unfortunately I've picked up the male mentality of this group. I don't hit girls. Our goal is to protect right? Fuck you Jacob.

I quickly phased back to human in the middle of the woods. I was close enough home that I could just walk. I wasn't in a hurry either, so I took my time.

When I finally reached the back of the house, I could smell Seth sitting at the front door. I'm sure he wanted to relay onto me what had gone down after I phased. I wasn't in the mood for talking, but I was interested in why Jacob had asked that question. Had Bella been stupid and not taken some precaution about my scent rubbing off onto her? Had she told him that we touched, but had not gone into detail? By the time I made my way to the front door, I was fuming with anger. All the possibilities of how she could have let it slip.

I was right; Seth was sitting on the door step waiting for me. He looked up at me as I approached and smiles slightly.

"He wasn't mad at you," he said brightly, "He just said that Bella seemed a little strange when he went to ask her about being out in the woods. So he thought maybe something had happened."

"And he just jumped at the chance to blame me…"

Seth was at a loss for words. He thought he would be able to patch things up. But he couldn't.

"Seth, just let it go. I'm never going to fit into this pack as 'one of the guys', ok?"

Seth just looked towards the ground. I knew he was just trying to make things already. He didn't like being in a crew with is older sister, but he did his best to try and make sure I didn't feel too out of place… which was impossible. He tried anyways.

"Come on Seth, let's go inside."

He stood up with his head still hanging and turned to open the door. I lunged up onto the doorstep and swung my arm around his neck, holding him in a lock.

"Leah!"

As he struggled to get away, I nudged his head multiple times with my knuckles and dragged him inside. He was still squirming.

"Revenge is a bitch Leah!"

I howled with laughter, "See the thing about bitches, Seth, is that we understand each other. So I highly doubt that!"

AN: I didn't think this fic would be as difficult as its turning out to be, so it's probably going to only be a few more chapters. If you're a return reader, thank you for you're support. If your new, I hope you like it and continue to read. I appreciate all comments! Thanks guys!
