Leah slowly ate her six eggs, seven pancakes, three pieces of toast, and 14 pieces of bacon off the fancy gold plates that were brought out by a shaking Spanish maid. Elizabeth was across from her, smiling and watching each bite. The maid was standing a few feet away, shaking and trying to hold in her chattering teeth. Finally Leah turned to her and smiled kindly.
"May I have a glass of water and orange juice?" Leah asked softly. The maid literally ran to the kitchen to get her glasses. Leah turned to Elizabeth and pushed her finished plate to the others.
"So… whose house is this?" Leah asked, playing with her hair. Elizabeth looked around and glared at the maid out of the room when she dropped off two glasses and two pitchers, one full of orange juice and one full of water.
"The house is mine. The people you saw were my tenants. They refused to leave so I drained them." Leah looked down and cleared her throat.
"Elizabeth… it's wrong to kill humans." Leah said. Elizabeth's face became stony and she crossed her leg smoothly. After pursing her lips for a second she answered in one cold word.
"Why?"
Leah looked shocked at the question.
"Because it just is! Human life is precious and every human has some good to them. I'm human, would you drain me?" Leah asked, looking hurt. Elizabeth stood up and looked at Leah calmly.
"You are my mate and we both know you're not completely human. Let me tell you how precious your human life is. I was born in the richest part of Rome. I married young to a very wealthy politician and for a few years life was great. I even had a son. But then Rome started falling and my husband went mad. He killed our baby to 'save him from the streets'. He sold me as a prostitute to keep our fancy so called 'home'." Elizabeth slammed her fist into the sold oak table; cracking it down the middle and making it crumble helplessly to the floor. Elizabeth sneered angrily at Leah.
"Then one day he sold me to a vampire who took pity on me. The vampire changed me, taught me the ways of hunting humans and draining them silently. He taught me everything he knew before committing suicide. He had lived over a thousand years you see and living so long is tiring on the mind and soul. Luckily I don't mind living so long. It's made me stronger. And now I have you…" Elizabeth walked over to Leah, putting both of her small hands on Leah's cheeks and wiping the stray tears away.
"Don't cry my love. It's not your fault I'm like this." Elizabeth put a tiny kiss on Leah's lips and hugged her as tight as she could without hurting her. Leah hugged back and sobbed into the silk that covered Elizabeth's body. Elizabeth held her silently until the crying stopped and Leah collected herself.
"How long was I asleep?" Leah asked. It was morning and from what she could remember it was night when she was last awake.
"You've been asleep for a week my love. You were gravely injured and your body needed the time to heal. Your lungs were badly scratched from the sea water. If you would have been human you would have died." Elizabeth said, her voiced sounded strained at the end at the thought of losing her mate.
"A week? My mother must be so worried! I have to get home!" Leah shouted, and leaped up from her chair. Elizabeth only nodded and grabbed Leah's hand, leading her to the large garage.
"Pick your chariot my love." Elizabeth said, flipping on the lights. Leah's mouth dropped as she saw all the cars that she could pick from.
SUE'S HOUSE…
Jacob winced as Sue let out a sob when they told her about Leah throwing herself from the cliffs. They had searched a week with no luck. There was no body or scent of Leah anywhere and they had combed the beaches as far as Canada. Sue held onto Seth as she sobbed and Seth was close to crying himself.
"We asked the Cullens to keep an ear out about the vampire that we smelled on the land the night Leah… disappeared. We think maybe the vampire had something to do…" Sam was cut off from a hateful glare from Sue.
"It's your fault my Leah is dead not some vampire!" Sue shouted. Everyone looked down, guilt striking their hearts with every word.
"All Leah ever wanted was to feel like part of something! But no all you men pushed her out, making her feel like nothing!" Sue screamed and covered her face with her hands.
"And now my Leah is gone…" Sue choked. Everyone stopped and looked at the door when it slowly opened.
LEAH…
Elizabeth drove the fancy Ferrari down the silent Forks roads while Leah sat a little uncomfortable next to her. Elizabeth smoothed the ride into the Rez and parked at Leah's house. Getting out lighting fast she opened the door for Leah, looking at all the extra cars in the drive way.
"Is your mom throwing a party?" Elizabeth asked, taking Leah's hand and following her up to the house.
"I don't think so…" Leah said, opening the door. Everyone from the park was stuffed into the tiny house and Leah's mom was sobbing on the couch.
"Mom what's wrong?" Leah asked. Sue leaped up and ran over hugging her daughter tight, sobbing and rocking her. Leah felt the grip on her hand tighten as Elizabeth watched with cold eyes.
"We thought you were dead! You've been missing a week!" Sue sobbed into her daughter's shoulder.
"Mom I'm fine. In fact I have great news. I imprinted" Leah said, smiling and pulling away from her mother. Sue's eyes widened and a smile split her face.
"Where is he? Stop hiding him!" Sue said, almost jumping with excitement. Leah gulped and slowly moved from in front of Elizabeth.
"Mom this is Elizabeth… she's my imprint." Every member of the pack leaped up and growled, staring at Elizabeth's blood red eyes. Elizabeth hissed softly at them and moved to stand in front of Leah.
"Guys stop! She's my imprint you can't kill her!" Leah said, wrapping her arms around Elizabeth to keep her from attacking.
"She's a human drinking vampire!" Sam roared "I want her on this reservation or imprint or not she's dead!" Leah glared and pulled Elizabeth towards the door.
"Let's leave them to calm down love… please…" Elizabeth snarled but allowed Leah to pull her outside. The pack followed, snarling and shaking watching Elizabeth with hate filled eyes. Elizabeth turned and pointed right at Sam, determination in her eyes.
"I challenge the pack leader to a fight. If you win I will leave with Leah and never return to your land. If I win I will move freely among your reservation with Leah." Elizabeth said. Sam snarled and shifted right there, snapping his huge jaws and starting to circle around the small vampire. Elizabeth put her hands behind her back and closed her eyes, walking in a circle as the huge wolf circled her, teeth bared and fur standing on edge.
"No! Sam you can't! Its pack law!" Leah screamed as everyone else in the pack held her back. Elizabeth opened her eyes and leaped high in the air when Sam finally attacked. Sam snarled and leaped up towards her. Elizabeth delivered a well-placed kicked to the side of Sam's head, making him shoot to the ground with a sickening crack. Landing gracefully she watched as Sam slowly picked himself up and wavered, shaking his head and stumbling around.
"You won't be able to walk straight for a while. I just shocked you with 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to kill an elephant. I guess that means I win." Elizabeth walked over to
Leah and pushed the men away roughly glaring at them for daring to touch her mate.
"Elizabeth that was… amazing. You defeated him without drawing a single drop of blood." Leah said, wrapping her arms tight around her.
"Drawing out the fight would have seen injury to both of us that wouldn't have been necessary." Elizabeth said, wrapping her arms loosely around Leah.
"Leah…" Sue said softly making Leah turn. Leah's smile disappeared when she saw the look on her mother's face.
"Leah… please leave…" Sue whispered. Leah felt tears come to her eyes and she pulled Elizabeth to the car.
"Please let's go Elizabeth…" Leah sniffled. Elizabeth snarled loudly at Leah's tears and turned right to Sue.
"You will pay for making her cry!" She screamed and got in the car, tires squealing with effort as she slammed on the gas pedal and recklessly left the reservation.
"Elizabeth please slow down!" Leah said, gripping Elizabeth's stone arm. Elizabeth took an unneeded deep breath and slammed to a stop, looking at Leah's tear streaked worried face.
"I'm sorry my love." Elizabeth whispered and took Leah's face gently into her hands. After placing a chaste kiss on her lips Elizabeth started the car again and made her way at a legal speed towards Forks. Leah explained where the Cullens lived and Elizabeth grudgingly made her way to their house, looking at it with distain.
"We don't have to stay here. I promise not to drink anyone you know." Elizabeth said. Leah got out and took her hand.
"They can help you." Leah said softly. Elizabeth sighed and slowly got out of the car.
"I don't need help… but I will try… for you…" Elizabeth whispered and slowly followed Leah to the front door.
