I don't own anything sadly [ on with the story!
The drive to the beach was amazing. Paradise by Coldplay came on and Seth and I sang along horribly. When the song was over all 3 of us were laughing our asses off. I sat in
the front seat next to my mom while Seth sat in the back. My mom gently rubbed my back and said "Honey I am so glad you came back…I missed you so much." I smiled widely and
said "I missed you too mom I am so happy I came back." She gave me an ear to ear smile as a few tears dripped down her face. I rubbed her arm and said "Don't cry ma." She
laughed and said "I am just so thankful you returned Leah…I didn't think you would." That struck a small nerve in my chest as I gave my mom a small smile. She wiped away her
tears as we pulled up to the beach. She hurried and got out of the car, opened up my door, and dragged me to the bonfire full of people. Seth followed behind happily as usual as
we walked towards the fire. The moon showed me the silhouettes of the people but I couldn't figure out who was who. Finally we got close enough that I could make out the
familiar faces. All at once the whole group became silent as they stared me up and down. I felt nervous for a second that they didn't remember me until I was on the ground being
tackled. Embry, Quil, Jared, and Paul tackled me with hugs. I laughed uncontrollably as I screamed "Guys get off me I gotta breathe!" They all laughed and helped me up as I
gently dusted the sand off of me. Quil Sr. came over and hugged me and said "Oh Leah is so great to see you." I smiled and said "It's good to be back." He smiled and stepped
out of the way as Billy Black rolled over to me. I leaned down and gave him a hug before saying "Hey Billy." He laughed and said "Hey Leah it's about time you came back." I
laughed and said "Yah I needed some time to myself. I smiled and nodded before saying "I understand I am just happy you are back." I smiled and nodded before I realized that
Sam was giving me a mixed look. I was about to say something when Emily ran over to me and gave me an awkward hug. "My cousin I am so happy you have returned." I just
nodded and gave her a "Yeppers." She smiled and sat back next to Sam who gave me a curt head nod. I nodded back and looked around the circle. It was then that I noticed 2
unfamiliar faces.. She was pale with light brown hair and was sitting next to the most gorgeous man I have ever seen in my life. He had short black cropped hair and bright white
smile. My eyes became glued to his as I felt the strings attaching me to my world to him. My invisible hooks sunk deeper into him as our eyes remained locked for a few seconds,
but it felt like years. My whole world stopped and suddenly revolved around this new man. It was then that I realized that I had imprinted…oh boy. I would have stared in those
beautiful eyes for days but the girl sitting next to him laughed at something and snuggled into him. He broke the eye contact and acted as if nothing happened. I gently rubbed
the back of my neck and ran a hand through my hair. It seemed like the man and I were the only 2 people who noticed the exchange. It was then that Seth introduced us. "Leah
this is Jacob Black, Billy's son and Bella Swan." I nodded and mumbled a nice to meet you before sitting next to Seth on a small log. Billy started telling the old legends when the
scent struck me. I jumped up took a deep breath and said "Leech!" before running towards the woods. The rest of the pack quickly followed suit and chased after me. As soon as
the dark shadows of the trees covered me I shifted. It only took a second and then I found myself running faster on all fours. The cold wind whipped at my muzzle and glided
through my fur as the colors of the forest blended together. Sam was yelling orders to the pack and even tried to give me an order. I chuckled and shrugged of the command as I
approached the vampire. She had bright vibrant red hair and blood red eyes, a typical leech. The only problem was that she was fast…like faster than me fast. As I chased after
her I actually felt the strain I was putting on my leg muscles to keep up. The burning yet thrilling sensation jolted through my body as I went faster. My lungs were rapidly
expanding and shrinking as I took deep but short breaths. I ran faster and got even closer to her and went for a strike at her leg. She jumped a few feet, landed perfectly, and
continued running. I growled my frustrations but really the chase was exhilarating. Once again I felt the strain of my muscles and the burning feeling inside of me as I raced to
keep up with the leech. After a few seconds of chasing her I finally caught up again and was hot on her heels. I readied myself to swipe at her with my paw until she took a huge
jump. It was then that I realized were on top of the cliff. I screeched myself to a stop barely hanging onto the edge of the cliff. I watched her dive into the water and disappear
beneath the black, dangerous waves. I growled angrily but I enjoyed the sensations of the race. I looked down at the beach and saw the pack, the elders, and Bella watching
what had just happened. In my head Sam's voice rang through. "Get down here Leah." I growled my defiance and said "I can come on my own Sam, I don't have to fucking listen
to your commands." And with a starting lunge I took off towards the beach. In a matter of seconds I was in human form walking towards the group. The wolf inside of me was still
anxious from the chase and clawed at my insides to go for another run and find that leech again. I tried to calm down and after a few heavy breaths I was back to normal. When I
reached the group they were all staring at me in shock. Sam looked pissed like usual but it seemed like the others were confused. "Leah what were you thinking?" Sam yelled. I
chuckled humorously and said "I was thinking…no I knew that none of you could keep up with her but I could. And I knew that you would all fall behind but I could get her and
that's why I went on the chase. I let my wolf take over and lead me the way and I almost got the leech too until we came to the cliff." Sam gave me a small snarl and said "How
did you defy my orders?" I laughed again and said "We all have our secrets Sammy boy." He gave me a hard glare until my mom walked next to me, grabbed my arm, and said
"C'mon honey lets go home." I nodded and said "Alright, night guys." I got a few goodnights and byes before Seth my mom and I climbed back into the car. I couldn't wipe the
smile off of my face as we drove home in silence. One thing has not changed, and that would be my absolute hatred for that fucker Sam.
