Oh my gosh guys! Thank you soooo much! Sorry for any spelling/grammer mistakes, I don't have spell-check or anything... I have a really old computer. Thank all of you for reviewing!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight! I wish I did though!
Alex's P.O.V:
"Alex!" I heard Jacob and love-sick-guy yell as I ran into the forest. I didn't listen. I was terrified.
My grandmother gave me a book about a year before she died, and it has every record of any supernatral being in there. Shifters and vampires were one of the most dangerous. In the book, it states that every shifter has one weekness. Their soulmate, or imprint as most call it.
I heard someone call my name again, and I pushed myself to run faster. I didn't get very far, when I felt two warm arms tackle me to the ground. I tried to make it seem like I hit my head, and I went limp.
"Alex? Alex, can you hear me?" I heard Jacob ask. I just focused on making my heart beat slow.
"Jake, did you fin-" I heard love-sick-guy ask, then he cut himself off when he probablly saw me. "Jacob! What did you do?!" He asked. I could practically hear him shaking with rage.
"Paul, calm down! She fell. I didn't mean to do it!" Jacob said to him. Hm, I guess his name is Paul. I felt Jake put me down on the ground, and I took my chance. I jumped up, and sprinted to the tallest tree I could find, and scurried up it like a squirrel.
I could practically hear their confused stares as they saw me run up that tree. I wasn't really to worried that they would climb it. I was on the very top of it, and they were to heavy to make it three feet up in the air.
"Alex?" I could hear the shock in Jake's voice. "What are you doing?" He asked. I had to pull another crazy card if I wanted to get out of this one.
"The Squirrel Lord wanted me to join them." I said with an innocent expression. "I have to be with my people." Now Jake looked freaked out.
"Okay... So, Alex, where is this Squirrel Lord?" Jacob asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Back at your Alpha's house." I said, I knew he heard me when I said shifters earlier, so why try to hide what I know?
"Wait, how do you know that?" Paul asked with his eyebrows scrunched up.
"The voices told me." I said. It wasn't exactly a lie. I had the voices of all my ancestors in my head telling me which supernatural thing they were.
"Oh, uh, okay." Jacob said with a weird look. "So, are you comming down, or am I going have to come up there?"
"I can't leave my people, and why would I go with you? Your dangerous." I said. Paul looked hurt, and that's when it clicked. I was his imprint. His soulmate.
'Alexandra, Paul won't hurt you. If he would hurt you, he would hurt himself. Don't trust Jacob though, just yet.' The voices whispered in my head.
"I will go with Paul though. The voices say I can trust him. I'm his imprint." I said, and Paul's face lit up with happieness.
"Okay, come down." He said, extending his arms for when I climbed back down. I looked down, and saw it wasn't a very far drop, and pushed myself off of the tree. I was a seer, and every seer is usually hunter down by the vampire royalty.
What was it? The Violets? The Volters? Oh yeah, the Volturi! So, we were blessed with fast reflexes, and pretty much nothing els. Stupid if you ask me...
"Alex!" Paul yelled, as I jumped down, but I landed on my feet. I smiled at him, and he glared. "You know, you could have broken a leg!" He yelled, and I shrugged. I waved to the 'squirrel people', keeping up the act of insanity.
Jake looked at me funny, and I skipped back to Sam and Emily's house. I waved at the ghost, Casey, and everyone gave me weird looks.
"Okay... So, how do you know about us?" A kid asked. He couldn't be more than 13, but he was way taller than me. I mean, I was only 4'11.
"The voices." Was all I said, and I started singing a song to myself. Emily seemed to know what was wrong.
I saw another girl, a shifter. Odd... From the book my grandmother gave me said that female shifters are very rare, and are usually treated like a porcelin doll in most packs of shifters. This girl, she had an aura of sadness, and guilt.
'She doesn't mean trouble. Make friends with her.' The voices of my ancestors said to me. I walked over to Leah, and she gave me a glare. I knew it was fake, and wanted to make her laugh.
"If cows laughed, would they sneeze chocolate milk?" I asked her with an innocent expression. I was playing my insane card again, just to make her smile. She had something about her that just made her seem hopeless. I knew how she felt.
It worked, and she broke a tiny grin. "I don't know... I'm Leah by the way." She said, and all the guys in the pack looked at me with shock.
"Alex." I said, and looked at the celing humming a random tune. I sat next to her on the couch, and started talking to a ghost of what looked like an older man. A lot of ghosts are desparate to see who can see them, and I have an aura that only the dead can see. An aura of a seer.
"Hello. Thank you for making my daughter happy." The man said, looking at Leah. "Harry by the way." I smiled at him, and waved.
"Alex. She seems like she needed a friend." I said, with a small nod to Leah.
"She blames herself for my death, and she needs to know it wasn't her fault. When you tell her, please let her know it wasn't anyone's fault." He said, and I nodded. A lot of ghosts just wanted to let family know it wasn't their fault they died.
"Alright. I just dont't wanna scare them though." I said, and everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at me. "They said I'm not allowed to go back to nature with your people, so running away from home isn't allowed. It would give Uncle a heart attack, Lord Squirrely." I said covering it up as my 'squirrel story'. Harry laughed, and dissapeared.
"So... Lord Squirrely wants you back, eh?" A boy about 15 said. He looked oddly like the man, Harry.
"Yes. He needs me, but Jacob and Paul made me go with them. Lord Squirrely wants me to come, but since your shifters, you'd find me for sure." I said, and Harry-looking-kid turned to Jacob.
"Dude, she's crazy!" He whispered, not expecting me to hear. "How does she even know about us?" He asked, and Paul growled at him.
"Where do you think she was for the past seven years?" Jake whispered back, and it felt like a blow to the heart. I winced. "I don't even want her here. She'll just cause problems in the future." I hadn't even noticed the hot tears streaming down my face, and I stood up and glared at Jake.
"Do you think I want to be here? Huh?" I whispered. I couldn't look at Jake. "My parents died in front of my face... I have nobody. I can ask Uncle to take me back later." I said, tears now soaking my face, and running down to my shirt.
"Alex-" He started, but I cut him off.
"No, you made it pretty loving clear that you don't want me here. It's okay, really. I didn't even think that you would accept a person who's mentally insane." I said, tears streaming down my face harder, but I refused to make any sound.
I walked out of the room with my head down. I refused to look at anyone's pity, if there was any. I ran into the forest, and found a spot by a stream to sit at.
'Alexandra, plea-' My ancestors voice said, but I cut it off.
"No, my own family doesn't want me. Let alone my imprint. I bet he'd not want me, because I'm well... insane!" I yelled at the voice. I had enough rejection in my life, I didn't want my soulmate's rejection too.
'Paul wasn't going to reject you. Please, you'll hurt him and yourself, Alexandra.' My ancestors pleaded, but I wasn't really listening. I heard a snap of a twig, and suddenly a huge grey wolf stepped out of the shadows. 'That's Paul. He's worried you left him.' The voices said, and I stretched my hand out to pet him.
"I'm so, sorry." I whispered, petting him. I felt odd comfort being close to this wolf. "Paul, I'm sorry." I said, and another russent brown wolf came from behind a tree. Paul-wolf stood in front of me, growling at the other wolf. I could see that this wolf had the same eyes as Jacob. I wimpered, flinching when Jake came closer. I felt tears streaming down my face again.
I jumped to my feet, and ran into the direction of Billy's house. I saw him reading the paper, and when he saw my tear streaked face, he jumped to his feet. I just ran into my room. I feel asleep, crying. For the first time in years, I cried.
The Next Day...
I still haven't seen Jake, nor have I talked to Billy. Billy tried to make me breakfast, but I just stared at my food. Years of not really eating made me really not hungry-ever. A lot of the doctors tried to diagnose me with Anorexia, but they put it as a side effect to my insanity.
"So, Alex. How was your stay at the hospital?" Billy asked, trying to break the awkward silence. I just looked up at him with a confused expression, like I didn't know how to speak English. I was happy he bought it, because he didn't try to talk.
Later that day, Billy suggested that I go to the beach with one of the pack members, and Leah came over about an hour later. I still didn't talk, even if I was tempted. I had to get things off my chest, but I refused to talk.
I walked with Leah to the beach, and I just stared at her. "I'm sorry about Jake." She said, and I looked at her again like I couldn't understand her.
"Listen, Alex. I don't know about you, but I just want to help." She said. My responce: Nothing. I just stared at her. I walked down the beach, and sat on the sand, looking out at the waves. I was in a world of my own, when I heard a howl in the distance. Leah got up, telling me that she had to go, and I was left alone.
Wait... Alone. I could go away for a while at least. I don't know where'd I go- Wait, in the book my grandmother gave me, it said that there is a place to learn and controll who we are. I'm going there. The only problem is that it's several hundred miles in Colorado. I could hitch hike, walk, or... Steal a car. Yeah, that truck billy never really uses anymore.
I ran home, and checked on Billy. He was taking a nap on the couch, so I had time. I ran into my room, and pulled out the cash Grandmother had put in the front cover for emergencies. Several hundred dollars was enough. I grabbed my bag, and stuffed it with clothes.
I ran into the kitchen, and snatched the keys to Billy's truck out of the kitchen, and took off to the old Ford. I hopped in, and took off.
Colorado, here I come.
Jacob's P.O.V:
I went home after the pack meeting with the intentions to apologize for what I did to Alex. As I ran into the drive way, I noticed Dad's truck was gone. I was thinking that Sue came, and borrowed it so she could run erands, but when I walked inside, Dad was asleep on the couch with Alex nowhere in sight.
I ran into her room, and a lot of her things were missing. I knew that Leah left her at the Beach, so I ran back there. Her scent wasn't very strong, so I knew she was pretty much gone. I freaked out, and shifted.
'Oh, hey Jake!' Seth said through the mind link.
"Yeah, hey.' Paul said. Seth and Paul were assigned patrol for the night, and Paul wasn't very happy abou it.
'Hey, listen. Alex is gone. She took my dad's truck, and some of her stuff isn't in her room.' I said in a panic-ey tone. I could practically hear Paul's anger comming from his wolf.
'This is your fault!' He growled, and I looked down in dissapointment.
'I know, just... I don't know. Please just help me find her.' I practically begged Seth, since Paul was already pretty much looking for her.
'Okay.' Was all Seth said, and I shifted back into human form. I was basically slapping myself for saying those things yesterday. I growled in anger, and punched a tree. I heard it snap, before I left to go tell Sam I acaully needed help. I groaned.
