I own nothing=( *tear*
It had been about a week since the big secret was revealed. After I had fainted, I began to let the truth set in, but still I had a hard time believing it. My mom had decided it would be best if she answered all my questions without the rest of the pack present. I learned that Sam imprinted in Emily the first time he saw her when she came to visit me. Jared imprinted on Kim, Paul on Rachel, and, it took a lot of explaining, Quil on two year old Claire. And now Jacob on me, but according to him he didn't want me and was still in love with Bella. Fine by me. Why would I want a whiny werewolf as a soul mate anyways.
I walked downstairs one morning, still in my pajama bottoms and tank top. As I walked into the kitchen I realized Quil, Embry, and Seth were there eating my food.
"You guys don't have a home of your own to terrorize?" I glared as I grabbed a bowl and tried to pour myself some cereal which was all gone. I get out a frustrated sigh.
"Nice pajamas, Lee," Quil smiled, staring straight at my chest. My tank top was pretty low cut but I never minded since I only wore it to sleep.
"Fucking pervert," I hissed as I threw my bowl at Quil who simply laughed and caught it.
"Don't show off the goods if you don't want anyone looking," he laughed.
"These are my pajamas, moron. Excuse me I didn't know a bunch of mutants would be in my kitchen this morning!"
"Damn Clearwater. I knew you had a body, but dang!" Embry laughed along with Quil.
"Guys that's my sister!" Seth whined.
"Get over it Seth," Quil said. "Your sister is hot!"
I wanted so bad to punch Quil in the face, but Seth warned me that would probably break my hand.
"Come one Lee," Embry said. "Come give me a kiss and I will tell you where Seth hides all the good food."
"Embry I don't care if you are invincible I will kick your ass, so shut the fuck up!"
"Oh hot and feisty," Quil said. "Come on Lee, lighten up. We are just admiring your hot ass." I was about to smack Quil in the head with a fry pan when a furious voice interrupted me.
"What the fuck is going on here?" we all turned to see Jacob standing in the door way.
"Jake!" Quil said startled.
"What did you just say to her?" Jacob snarled, fire burning in his eyes.
"Nothing. We were just…." Embry stuttered. I took this as my cue and used all my strength and hit Quil in the back of the head with the fry pan. He stumbled forward and clutched the back of his head, squealing in pain.
"Being assholes. When I come back down you perverts better be gone!" I shouted while heading upstairs, glaring at Jacob to let him know that meant him too. Jacob stared at me in shock then looked back at Quil.
I walked past him to go up stairs, ignoring the invisible pull I felt towards him.
More weeks passed and I thankfully was able to avoid Jacob. Apparently some huge pack issue had just come up and suddenly forcing Jacob and I together was not a main concern anymore. That I was thankful for. But I was beginning to worry about my brother. He was out all night and sometimes half the day as well. He, along with all the other guys, looked exhausted. My mother assured me it was nothing to worry about, but I could tell she was lying. All I knew was that it involved the Cullens, the neighbors who also happen to be blood sucking vampires. I shuttered at the thought. I felt like I was stuck in a bad Hollywood horror film where the main character wakes up to find out her whole family and everyone else she knew had turned into zombies overnight.
I was currently taking my daily run. I loved running, no matter what the weather was I could run everyday. I had started it when Sam dumped me and never stopped. I had been running for several blocks now and decided to slow to a walk, since it would prolong my run and save me from getting home faster.
Just as I passed a tree I heard a soft meow from above me. I stopped and waited to hear the noise again. Paranoia crept up on me and I began thinking maybe it was a vampire disguised as a cat.
Yeah Leah because that's so likely. Vampire dress as cats to find people to eat!
Shut up, I told myself, Quil turns into a wolf to protect us! I wouldn't even let Quil protect the imaginary cat I thought I just heard!
Once again I heard the soft meow and looked up in the tree. There at the very top was a tiny orange kitten, obviously stuck up there. I weighted my options, I could ignore the cat and keep walking ( I had never really been a cat person anyways), I could go home and hope Seth is there then send him to come get the cat (the freak could probably lift up the damn tree like they did on t.v.), or I could try to get the stupid thing down myself.
I sighed and began assessing a way to climb the tree. I had always been stubborn and hated asking people for help and I wouldn't feel right leaving the dumb thing up there. I climbed onto a branch, then carefully (and extremely slowly) I went further up the tree until I could almost reach the cat. Just as I was about to catch it, it freaked out and climbed even higher.
"Piece of shit!" I cursed. The higher I got up the tree, the more tricky it got to keep from falling. Finally I was level it the cat. "Come on, kitty. Come here and I will get you down. Come here." I coaxed it. I let out a silent whoop of happiness when the dumb thing let me pick it up. That's when I realized I would not be able to climb down with only one hand. "I hope you are happy, cat!"
I looked at the ground, feeling a bit queasy in my stomach when I realized just how high up I was. I slowly began climbing down branch by branch, cursing every step of the way while the cat clawed at me.
I was about half way down the tree when a voice called to me. "What the hell are you doing?" The sound scared me and caused to slip off the branch and go tumbling down the tree, hitting quite a few branches along the way. But somehow, I'll call it stupid instinct, I kept a good hold on the evil cat. I expected the impact of hitting the hard ground but instead I fell into a pair of warm arms. A sense of calm and relief flew through me, until I looked at my savior.
"Mother fucker!" I yelled, climbing out of Jacob's arms. "What the hell were you thinking? You don't scream at someone when they are climbing a damn tree!"
"Me?" he said, suddenly angry. "You would have cracked your head open if I didn't show up when I did!"
"What are you talking about, I was doing fine. I only fell because you thought it would be a great idea to sneak up on me!"
"You are lucky I didn't let you fall!" he shouted back.
"Why didn't you? It would have taken care of your fucking problem!" I screamed back, ignoring the scared kitten in my arms that was digging its claws into my arm.
"This is exactly why I will not accept this imprint! I just saved your life and you yell at me instead of saying thank you!"
"You did not save me!" I glared at him. "I was doing fucking fine before you showed up! Fucking cat, stop scratching me!" I yelled in frustration at the kitten. I then realized we were safely on the ground so I gently placed the kitten on the ground and looked back at Jacob, a deathly glare in my face.
"A cat?" Jacob asked, suddenly calm. "You climbed up there to save a cat?"
"What you think I hate animals or something?" I sneered as I turned to walk away.
"No," he said, coming to walk besides me for some reason. "I just never pictured you saving cats, drowning them maybe, but not saving."
I turned and glared at him. I knew the reservation knew me as the local bitch since Sam had dumped me and my dad died, but no one has literally came out and said it to my face. I shook my head and began walking faster.
"Wait, Leah, I'm sorry I didn't mean that!" Jacob said, catching up to me.
"Get the fuck away from me, Black."
"Leah, I know I owe you an explanation," he said. "But listen I didn't ask for this. I am working to take care of it."
"Good and you better because there is no way in hell I am accepting the fact that you are my 'soul mate'" I said. For a second Jacob looked hurt by my words, then the anger returned to his eyes.
"I feel the same way," he growled. "No way my imprint could be a bitter bitch like you."
"No way my soul mate could be a pathetic idiot like you. What are you doing here anyways? Bella busy sleeping with her vampire boyfriend right now? Must be a big ego booster knowing she's rather be with a dead guy than you!" I could literally see when I words registered in Jacob's head. He began shaking, with his fists clenched.
"No matter what the fuck anyone might tell you, Clearwater, I do not and will never love you! Just like Sam I don't want anything to do with you either!" he growled before he turned and sprinted into the forest. I waited a second before I clenched my chest and broke down in tears.
