THE MORE THE MERRIER
Seth POV
Sam's pack was hanging out at Quil's place. It was like the old times when there was only one pack except Jacob and Leah weren't there. Jacob was with Nessie as usual while Leah would not be anywhere near Sam anytime soon. When will she get over him?
I was having a good time with the boys when I was attacked by my guilty conscience for leaving Leah to brood all alone. The brooding gets to me but she's still my sister and she must be feeling lonely. It's not like she can get together with her friends like before. I'm lucky I have Jacob and the other boys who are in the same boat. The whole phasing into wolf wasn't easy for Leah. She couldn't be with her friends now that she stopped aging. And those who knew and understand what was happening weren't the ones she could face. Emily would have been someone she could have confided into but ever since the whole Sam imprinting on Emily incident Leah never spoke to her again.
Maybe Rachel could be her friend. I don't think that would go well though what with Leah's black mood. Hmm… I wonder what she's doing right now. Is she alright on her own? Maybe she needs company. Yea, that would lighten up her mood. Then maybe she could be friends with Rachel.
"Hey, Seth, where are you going? It's still early. The party is just getting started," Jared called out.
"I'm done here. Leah's all alone at her cottage. I think I'll stop by there before it gets too late," I replied.
"Leah's a big girl. She can take care of herself. Stop worrying about her."
"You visiting Leah?" Embry shouted across the room. "I'm coming with you." He stumbled towards me, he had a little bit too much to drink. I was surprised he managed to get his words out clearly.
"Maybe you should stay," I said warily, noting the number of chairs and people he crashed into as he made his way to the door. "Why would you even want to come with me anyway? I don't think Leah's going to be too happy to see you right now."
"You know what, Seth, on the second thought maybe I should join you. Hey, maybe some of the boys would go too. The more the merrier, right?" There was something suspicious about Jared's sudden change of mind but I couldn't lay a finger on it. "After all you were worried about her being lonely," he added for a good measure.
I could hear Embry protesting against being left here. I might need help dealing with him later so it would be wise to have some of the guys there to help me. Leah's not going to like having a drunk over.
"So what do you say boys? Who's coming?" Jared asked. They were all looking at each other, as if they were having a silent communication. There was something going down and I had no idea what. Apparently everyone else was aware of something I'm not. I had a sinking feeling that I'm going to regret letting them tag along.
"I'm going to have to decline the offer. I don't think my presence will be appreciated," Sam shook his head and went to the kitchen. Thank god for small favours.
Rosalie POV
I can't believe this after all that planning and all that trouble getting Emmett to go along with the plan, I'm brought to halt by a stupid plant. There I was going round the cottage to get to a window when my clothes got caught in the stupid brambles. I struggled to get free but it seemed to make things worse, I was even more tangled up in the bushes. Damn, it. Argh!
I tried to calm down and tried to carefully free my clothes from the brambles instead. This was too slow and I'm running out of time. What if this takes too long and I missed the whole thing? What would be the point of this whole thing?
I panicked and pull myself free from the bushes ignoring the tears on my clothes. There's nothing I can do about it now. It's not like anyone is around to see me anyway, I shrugged off the sad state of my attire which left my body barely covered.
I peeked through each window I come across until I found them. Bingo! Target spotted. I got my camera out to capture the scene. My hearing was excellent so I heard every sigh, gasp and every moan, it was getting to me. I was fumbling with the camera. I could hear every breath she took, her breaths were shallow and getting faster. Shit she was close to finishing. I hurried up with the camera, switching it on and adjusting it to get them in focus on the small screen.
"Leah!"
Somebody was at the door, Seth if I'm not mistaken. Shit! It seems that everything was getting gin the way of my plan. What can I do now? They are not going to continue, are they? I couldn't help but hold on to that sliver of hope.
Seth POV
We finally made it to Leah's cottage. I was anxious to get in. Travelling with one drunken Embry was not something I care to repeat anytime soon. He was cheerful for some reason but having to help pick him up everytime he tripped was tiring. He was one heavy guy and the others who were tagging along weren't helping at all. They just watched him like he was some performing bear at a circus.
I wouldn't be surprised to find Embry suddenly performing some tricks. Weirder things had happened. And I was pretty sure whatever it was that the guys were keeping secret from me is going to come to light soon.
"Leah!" I pounded on her door. She better not be sleeping already because I'd wake her up no matter what. I'm not going to go back without seeing her. Hell, I might as well stay the night and let the others deal with Embry. Yes, that's what I should do. Serves them right. I smiled at the thought, feeling better already.
"What's taking her so long?" Jared wondered out loud.
"She might have gone to bed already," Quil deduced.
"What?" Embry straightened up. "I don't get to see her?" His ability to talk without slurring his words in a drunken condition never cease to amaze me. I just wished he could retain his balance and coordination too.
"Maybe we should go back. I don't think I want to wake her up." Quil was obviously scared of provoking Leah.
"Nooo!!!" Embry went for the door falling down only to get up on his knees and start pounding on the door. "Leeaaah!"
He kept on calling out for Leah and pounding on the door. He was loud enough to wake the dead. "I'm sure Leah would be awake now if she wasn't before. If she didn't open the door soon Embry may break through it eventually."
Rosalie POV
It wasn't just Seth at the door. I swear I could hear a number of different voices speculating whether Leah was already asleep or not and whether to go back or wake her up. One of them wasn't giving up. He was pounding hard at the door and shouting out Leah's name. Damn those wolves they're ruining everything. I put the camera back into my pocket. Emmett and Leah aren't going to continue with that racket outside. With the way things are going so far the door just might break leaving them both under the scrutiny of those wolves.
I stood there for a moment, unsure what to do next. I can't very well walk back to the Jeep now can I? I'd have to go back around the cottage and pass by the wolves. If my presence isn't damning enough I still have my torn clothes to think about. So I ended up sitting outside Leah's cottage waiting for the wolves to go away or get into the cottage. And what about Emmett? He's still inside. What's he going to do? He'll get caught if the wolves manage to get in. His scent is a dead giveaway. I'm surprised none of them realised my presence yet.
Jared POV
"Leeaaah," Embry called out. It was funny how pathetic he was. Everybody in the pack knows how much he missed Leah. Everytime we phase we get to see his thoughts, his fantasy, Leah clad in sexy lingerie, Leah moaning out in pleasure. It was weird to be having those images, to feel desire for Leah, but that's what happens when we get to see Embry's mind. I wondered how Sam felt about that, knowing that Embry was lusting after his ex-girlfriend. Sure he imprinted on Emily, I'd imprinted on Kim myself but that didn't stop me from feeling lust whenever I phased and my mind connected to Embry.
So when Embry said he wanted go with Seth to pay a visit to Leah, I had to go too. Things were bound to get very interesting and I sure don't want to miss it.
Hmm…something's not right. Why wasn't Leah opening the door? Nobody could have slept through the noise Embry was making. It was just not possible.
Something smells fishy and I'm starting to get wary. Wait something smells alright and I'm talking literally. I sniffed and caught the unmistakable scent of vampire.
"Vampire!" I shouted. "There is a vampire, I can smell it. Quick something is wrong. Maybe Leah got attacked by a vampire!"
Everyone was in alert. Some already phased into wolves. Embry grew more frantic, he kept pounding at the door screaming for Leah, this time he was definitely aiming to break it down.
A/N: Ah, I think we're definitely got a lot to look forward too. Things are getting exciting, yes?
I'll update soon. Please review.
