Dont own Twilight
The next day, I tried to put this entire 'mating' thing behind me. It didn't help that I'd gone to sleep that night and probably the most vivid dream ever. I tried not to think of the little girl or the vampire. I was the last one to make it to patrols and of course I did that on purpose. I was mentally preparing myself to ignore every idiotic, immature thing that was bound to be said
"Hey Leah," Paul said, smirking. "Or should I say Mommy Leah?" He and a few of the other younger members laughed.
"Keep laughing and I'll rip your testicles out through your throat and make you wear what little balls you have around your neck like jewelry," I glared. They all shut their mouths quickly.
"Can we get this over with," I asked.
"We aren't patrolling today," Jacob said.
"What? Then why are we here? I could be at home," Paul said.
"We're here because from now, until further notice, Sam's pack and my pack will be one," he said.
"What?" Seth gasped.
"Dude..." Quil groaned.
"No offense Sam, but I left your pack for a reason," Paul said
"No offense taken Paul," Sam said smugly. "It would be my honor to have all of you back in the pack. It'll be like old times."
"Except that we have a bunch of new kids, Jake imprinted on a half blooded vampire and he might become Leah's baby daddy," Paul muttered.
"That's it!" I shouted, not bothering to contain my anger anymore.
Bad idea.
See, when I get pissed off like this, I tend to phase, which is exactly what I did. But the thing that pisses me off the most about that is that when I phase because I'm so angry, my clothes get shot to hell. I even put on a brand new shirt this morning and BAM! All because of Paul, my shirt is in a bunch of pieces.
"Leah, calm down," Sam ordered.
You aren't my alpha , jackass! I thought. Of course it came out in a growl but still.
"I think she wants you to back off Sam," Embry said.
Yes! Embryo is right! Back off!
"We understand this is a difficult time for you Leah," Sam said, in a calming tone.
What the fuck are you talking about? I asked.
"We get that having to be the alpha female isn't something you wanted but... sometimes, we're called to do things that are greater than us."
It was moments like these I wished wolves could roll their eyes or at least use their middle finger. As Sam took another step closer to me, I snapped at the air by his head. He jumped back, looking shocked.
"Leah!" Jake called. "Relax. Paul, say your sorry."
"But-"
"Say it!" Jake shouted.
"Fine... sorry Leah," Paul mumbled.
I growled at him one more time before bobbing my head towards Jacob to signify my acceptance of the apology. I turned around, making sure to hit Paul with my bushy, gray tail before poking my nose at Seth's head.
"Ow! What?" he asked.
I need your shirt.
I have no idea why I thought it since he couldn't hear me but I hoped he got the message.
"I can't hear you Leah," he said. I pointed my nose down to the ground and towards my shredded clothes. "Oh... your clothes! You want me to go home and get you some?"
No you, idiot, I could do that myself. I need you to give me your shirt before someone phases and get's into my head. That's the last thing I need.
"What?" he asked.
I groaned.
Never mind... I'll do it myself.
I shook my head and ran past them, hoping to make it home before anyone else phased. I wasn't too sure I could keep my creepy vampire death dream a secret if there was someone else, infringing on my mind. Not to mention I couldn't stop thinking about it. Obviously it had a meaning. It was what Mom had said last night. It scared me. The idea that my family could be killed and I couldn't help them. But what was even worse was how completely eerie it all was. The little girl, the vampire, me bleeding... it was just all together weird. I made it to the front of my house and noticed Charlie's cruiser in the driveway. I paused. Thanks to Jake, he officially was freaked out by all of us. I still don't know what possessed Jake to phase in front of Charlie.
There was no way I was going to walk up to the front of my house in wolf form, and ruin the one somewhat normal relationship my mom had going for her. Then again, it probably wasn't smart for me to run into the house ass naked either. I phased quickly and hid behind the bushes next to my house. I peeked through the front window and cringed. Nothing grosses you out more than seeing your mother kiss someone who wasn't your dad. No, I lied... kissing someone period. All they needed to do was move out of the living room, and I'd be good. I could run into the house, up the stairs and get my clothes.
"Dammit," I said to myself. Charlie had his shoes off... they weren't gonna leave the living room anytime soon. I took a deep breath, to calm myself, but instead picked up on an overpowering woodsy, scent. I knew that scent anywhere.
"Leah?" a voice said behind me. I ducked deeper into the bushes, hoping he hadn't seen too much of my naked body. I looked through some of the leaves.
"Jake? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked.
"What are you doing in the bushes?" he asked.
"I asked you something first," I said.
"I was actually looking to talk to your mom," he said looking in the general direction of the bush.
"Why?" I questioned.
"None of your business..." he said.
"Oh come on, you can tell me," I said in a teasing voice.
Jake sighed and walked over to my porch before sitting down. "I had the weirdest dream last night and I wanted to ask your mom for something."
"She isn't going to look under your bed for monsters," I laughed.
"Very funny..." he said dryly "Actually I was gonna ask her for a picture of my mom as a little girl. I remember Dad telling me how much she and my mom were best friends growing up."
"Oh," I said, trying to shift the twig poking me in the boob, out-of-the-way.
The front door to the house opened.
"Hey Jacob," Charlie said in his gruff voice.
"Hey Charlie," he said. "Umm Sue, are you busy?"
"No... come on in... See you later Charlie," Mom said.
"Bye now oh and uh, thanks for the talk," Charlie said, walking towards his car.
"Anytime," Mom called out, a slight blush on her cheek.
Ew... Mom and Charlie flirting... gag me.
"Who were you talking to?" Mom asked Jake.
"Umm...Leah is kinda in the bushes naked," he said.
"What? Leah!"
"Hi mom," I said, sticking my hand up from the shrubbery.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I tore my clothes and decided to come here and get some more but Charlie was in the living room."
"He knows what you are Leah, if you had tapped on the window, we could have moved," Mom said, shaking her head.
"Yeah well, because of Jake, he looks at all of us as if we might turn into a giant wolf at any second."
"It had to be done," Jake shrugged.
"Leah, just hurry up and get inside," Mom said turning her back. I partially stood up, ready to jet in the house but stopped when I saw Jake made no move to close his eyes.
"Close your eyes," I ordered.
"It's not like I've never seen you naked before," he said, shrugging.
"Yeah but... just close them!"
"Fine," he sighed, putting his hands over his eyes. In one lightning fast move, I ran out of the bushes, into my house, and up the stairs to put some clothes on. I grabbed an old t-shirt and a pair of shorts, put them on and ran back downstairs.
Mom and Jacob were sitting on the couch, looking through an old album.
"That was her," Mom said, pointing to a picture. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop but I was curious about why Jacob came all the way over here for a picture of his mom when she was a kid. I walked behind them, looking over their shoulder. I gasped when I saw the picture.
The shoulder length raven black hair, the innocent brown eyes. I shook my head.
"Impossible," I muttered.
"What?" Mom asked, turning around. "Leah you don't look well at all. Are you okay?"
I shook my head and pointed to the album. "That little girl... I've seen her before."
"That's impossible Lee... this is Sarah Black... Jacob's mother."
"No I mean... I had a dream last night, and she was in it," I said, my heart beating faster and faster. Jacob's head snapped up when I mentioned a dream.
"You had a dream last night and my mom was in it as a little girl?" he asked. I simply nodded my head, still looking at the picture. "Sue, what's going on?"
"I think you both should sit down," Mom said, pointing towards the couch. I looked between her and Jake, curiously before taking my seat on the couch. Jake sat next to me and we both looked up at Mom expectantly.
"It's a sign," Mom said, plainly.
"A sign of what?" Jake asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" she asked rhetorically.
"But why?" Jake questioned. "We already decided against it."
"Wait," I said, putting my hand in the air as if we were in a classroom. "I'm so lost... what is obvious?"
"Your dreams," Mom said.
"Our dreams? You had a dream too?" I asked, Jacob.
"Yes," he said. "And my mom was there too."
"Did she say anything?"
"No... she just kept pointing and all I saw was everyone I cared about being killed. The sick part was who was killing them."
"Who?" I wondered.
"Nessie," he breathed out, looking down at the ground."And then you were there."
"Me?" I asked.
"Yeah, but it was like you were the only person who could hear me but by the time I called out to you... you'd... um..."
"Died?" I said, finishing his sentence.
"Yeah," He said sadly.
I took a deep breath and put my head in my hands. This was not happening. Not only was I dreaming about Jake's dead mother as a little girl, we had the almost same dream.
I stood up and began pacing back and forth. "What's going on?"
"Normally when someone who has passed on shows up in your dream, they're there to show you something or help you make a decision... did the little girl do anything that was... unusual?" Mom asked.
"Besides not talking and showing me that my family and friends were dying?" I asked.
"We had the same dream?" Jake wondered.
"Pretty much. Except it wasn't your mini Bella killing everyone. It was like some multiplying vampire," I explained. I turned back to my mother. "The little girl... she poked me... in my stomach and it started bleeding."
"Did it hurt?" I nodded my head. "What about you Jacob? Did she do anything out of the ordinary?"
"This entire thing is out of the ordinary," Jake said, standing now. He ran a hand through his hair and slightly tugged on the roots. "She put her hand my chest... like over my heart. It starting beating faster than it ever had. Like it would burst out of my chest at any minute."
"I know you two don't want to hear this... but this is a sign. A sign that the two of you should become one."
Jacob and I both groaned loudly and dramatically.
"Not this again," he said.
"Mom... it isn't gonna happen, okay! I'm not gonna have a kid because some dream creeped me out a bit," I said.
"Then I hope you two are prepared for the consequences," Mom said, crossing her arms.
"Is that a threat?" I asked.
"No... it's a promise. These dreams will keep happening." I opened my mouth to say that I'd just get a dream catcher but mom stopped me. "And no dream catcher will stop it. I hope you two can live with your decisions." Mom cast one last disappointing look at Jake and I before leaving the living room and heading upstairs. I bit down on my bottom lip and sighed.
"Can you believe this," I said with a dry chuckle.
"Actually I can," Jake said, taking a deep breath in. "I gotta go... I promised Nessie I'd hang out with her today."
"Go for it," I said, nodding my head to him. I tucked my hands in my pockets and watched as he walked out of the house. I sat down on the couch and rested my head on the back of it.
"Can I just have one day without something weird happening?" I asked, getting upset. I kicked my legs and accidentally broke the side of the coffee table in front of me. I put my hands over my head and grumbled. I stopped moving when I smelled perfume, flour, and... blueberries? I knew who that was. And I was not in the mood.
"Knock, knock," Emily said, against the door, stepping into the house, a basket full of muffins in her hands. "Hey Leah."
"Sup," I said. "Mom's upstairs."
"Actually," she said, putting the basket on the countertop in the kitchen. "I was looking for you. I was thinking we could talk."
"I'm not really in the mood for talking," I said.
"Lee," she begged.
I rolled my eyes dramatically. It wasn't that I hated Emily anymore. I mean I used to with a passion. But Sam made his choice and so did Emily. Did it sting that she's my cousin and kinda stole Sam from right under my nose? Yeah,it did. But it happened. Me hating them is just hurting me instead of them. I mean, I still don't like Sam but that's because he's a prick and Emily is an annoying nosy brat but there's no hatred anymore.
"Look Em, I get that you're trying to... um... help but not everything can be solved with muffins," I said.
"I know," she said nodding. "But they sure do help. I know we aren't as close as we used to be and that's partly my fault. But... if you ever want to talk, just about girl stuff... I'm here. I may not have the wolf gene but I do know what it feels like to make a decision that could potentially change yours and others lives around you."
"Yeah, how?" I asked, sarcastically.
"I chose to love Sam as more than just a friend. That changed not only my life, but yours, and his..."
"This isn't imprinting Emily," I said. "This is Old Quil, Billy and my mother wanting Jake and I to have sex to make a baby... I barely even like Jake as a person, why would I want to sleep with him?"
"Sometimes, people have to make choices that aren't necessarily what they want, but what's right for their family. Isn't that true love?" she asked.
"Why couldn't they find someone else," I groaned. "There are plenty of other pretty girls here."
"Yeah," Emily said, sitting next to me and nodding her head. "But it isn't about who's pretty and who isn't It's about what's in you. You and Jake are the only one's who can do this."
"Did Sam send you over to convince me or something?" I asked.
"No, actually Sam hates the idea of you and Jake having to mate. Every time someone brings it up around him, he gets upset."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because, he still loves you. I don't have a problem with it..."
"Why?" I questioned. "I'd be kinda pissed if my fiance was still in love with his ex fiancée."
"Well because I know I'm his destiny... I'm who he was meant to be with, but he chose to love you, without any help from an outside force. Not to mention, I know you have no feelings for him whatsoever."
"Oh... yeah, totally. I can barely even stand the guy now," I laughed.
"I should go," she said, standing. "Just think... how far are you willing to go to protect your family? Maybe this is your destiny?"
Emily walked out of the front door, shutting it behind her. I ran my hair through my hair and breathed out. Good question.
How far was I willing to go to protect my family?
