Thanks for your lovely reviews :) A note with this story is that Leah and Jacob are the same age as well as Embry and Quil there going to be in high school and about 17. Sam, Emily and Paul are in there 20's. Jared and Bella are 18, and Seth is 14. I also wanted to establish a previous friendship between Leah and Jacob, prior to phasing and imprinting. Anyway hopefully that's not to confusing please post your questions and reviews :D always love hearing from you :) Happy Reading :) xx
PREVIOUSLY
"Lee" I said not knowing if she was awake.
"Jake". She turned to face me, our eyes met and it was like time froze, I could stare for hours into the beautiful brown depths for hours. Suddenly it dawned on me just what I had done, I knew things were about to get so much more complicated.
JPOV
Leah broke eye contact looking down. "What are you doing here Jacob?"
"I…ah…came to see you" I said sitting on the bed, I put my hand on her leg, and that's when I noticed she wasn't cold to touch like most people, actually there was no difference between me and her at all.
"Leah are you feeling ok?" I started to panic she had to be sick, there was no way she could be pack, was there?
"Oh yeah I'm just peachy everything in my life is FUCKING FANTASTIC" I could hear the anger rising in her voice as she stood up.
"Lee calm down"
"Don't you dare tell me to calm down, where have you been huh off with fuck face and the rest of your stupid little gang? So stop acting like you care I know the only reason you're here is because of my dipshit little brother…"
She continued her rant and I could see she was now violently shaking. She stopped yelling and fell to the floor screaming in pain. I quickly rushed to her side, before my eyes she phased into a grey wolf. She quickly got up smashing out her bedroom window. I quickly attached my pants to my ankles and phased following her.
Her thoughts were jumbled, she kept thinking she was having a nightmare. I quickly ran and caught up with her, she was running flat out.
"LEAH STOP" I commanded. She quickly came to a halt.
"Jacob, I don't…. what the hell is wrong with me?"
"Nothing, you're like me, like us, a protector. Just like the legend's we heard when we were kids". I showed Leah the pack meetings in my head. I felt someone phase in.
"Jake what the hell someone phased?" came Paul's thoughts.
I couldn't help but replay Leah phasing in my head.
"Oh shit Sam's going to freak, I mean shit sorry" Paul phased out quickly after realizing the can of worms he had opened. Leah's thoughts shifted to Sam instantly, and why he left her, making her angrier.
"Lee don't think about that you need to phase out, ok?". I tried to change the subject to get her to calm down.
"Ok but how" she thought turning to face me.
"Think of something calming, angers what triggers phasing at first so calmness has the opposite affect it makes you phase back. I think of my mum and that helps me shift back".
Her thoughts traveled to my mum and then to her own parents, I managed to catch her last thought, which was of me, before she phased back. Just like that there was a very naked Leah standing in front of me.
She quickly turned around attempting to cover herself. "Oh shit my clothes," she cursed. I quickly phased pulling on my cutoffs.
"Wait here Lee, I'll get you something" I ran to the house grabbing a dress of the back line. "Here lee" I said passing her the dress. She quickly pulled it over herself, I faced away from her, although it didn't really matter the sight of Leah naked was permanently seared into my brain.
"Jacob I don't understand" she said turning to face me
I reached for her hand. "Come on Lee we'll go to dads, I'll explain everything".
My house was just a small walk from the Clearwater's is part of the reason we were always hanging around each other.
"So all those stories we heard as kids, there all…" she questioned
"True, yep"
"The gang, it's a…."
"Pack, were a pack not a gang but its better people think that then know the truth"
"What about Emily?"
I knew from that question she thought Emily was a shifter too.
"No she's not, well its complicated…but you're the only girl that's phased. I mean all the legend's have been just guys that are called upon"
"Fucking great! Of course I can't have a normal life can I, I get to turn into a massive wolf…" She said angrily.
"Lee, you can't get to angry, it's what triggers you to phase. Especially when you first phase you're going to have to learn to control it" I noticed she was looking off to the distance with hostility in her eyes. "Hey look at me" I said calmly.
She turned to face me, her eyes immediately calming. Then it accrued to me, I was going to have to explain imprinting to her, which meant Emily and Sam, this was not going to be a good conversation.
I pushed the door open still holding Leah's hand. "Dads on the council he should know why you phased" I said to Leah, she nodded and walked into the house with me.
"DAD, you here?" I called out.
"Yes Son, I may be old but there's nothing wrong with my hearing." He said wheeling around the corner. "Oh Leah, I didn't relies you were hear" his eyes focused on me, as if silently questioning why she was here.
"Dad Leah is meant to be here". A smile quickly appeared on his face, he obviously assumed she was my imprint, wait till he learnt the second part.
"Lee give dad your hand," I said. They both gave me a weird look, Leah complied reaching her hand to Billy's. As soon as she touched his hand his eyes widened, with the realization that she had phased.
Thanks for reading please R&R :) xx
