a/n: Thank you for reviewing, guys! I'm trying to make this story as interesting as possible. Criticism is welcomed! It's very helpful, actually. Anyway, thank you all!

Leah's POV

"Since vampires and werewolves – and shifters – are real, do you think there are actual like, witches and doppelgängers?" Seth mused, staring off into space.

It's been two days since I was forced to watch The Vampire Diaries with Seth, Jacob, Embry, and Quil. And Seth still has yet to shut his trap about the show and possibilities of other mythical creatures in the world.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. Why? Why couldn't I have just told him where to shove it and stomped up to my room? Why did I give in and agree to watch a stupid show with him and his idiot friends?

"I don't know, Seth," I said through clenched teeth, "you've asked me a million times! Go ask Old Quil!"

"You're right!" He stopped walking and turned to face me with an enlightened expression. "Old Quil knows about everything! I bet he knows!"

Of course he knows everything, the man is ancient.

"Go on then, run along," I say dismissively, waving him away with my hand.

He stood there dumbfounded, "aren't you coming with me?"

A long, urgent, howl was heard, beckoning us toward the forest. That could only mean one thing. Danger.

"Saved by the bell!" I grinned, walking past him and into the forest. I get to brush off his stupid request, because really, who do I look like going to Old Quil for advice? And I get to hopefully tear a vampire apart for overstepping boundaries.

Talk about killing two birds with one stone!

Why do you seep with happiness at the thought of violence? Seth asks, shaking his humongous wolf head.

Because it's the only fun we get around here, I snap, flashing away toward the rest of the pack.

I could show you a good time, Leah, Paul laughed. A couple of chuckles were heard from Quil and Jared.

We instantly got an image of Paul pushing me up against a tree and running his hands down my bare skin, inching his way closer to my –

You know something? I say loudly enough for them to break out of their trance and listen to my thoughts. I know people can't just stop thinking about whatever their disgusting minds want to, so I have a different theory that I want to test.

I thought of an image of Paul standing in all his naked glory with the world's smallest penis there to glorify the whole pack.

And that's why you can't show me a good time, Paul, I say with as much acid I could muster.

The pack was howling with laughter – Jacob being the loudest - with the exception of Seth's innocence repeating the phrases "That was so gross!""I don't wanna know about that!" "Geez, Leah!" "I hate you, Paul!"

Sam was not impressed. Actually he was more annoyed than anything.

That's enough, you two, he says in his little alpha tone. There is a vampire on our grounds, we cannot lose focus.

I rolled my eyes - not that any of them could see it – it became a habit whenever Sam decided to use "the voice."

Whatever.

We were running for what felt like hours - but really it was only about 5 minutes – when Embry caught the vampire. He looked terrified at first but he quickly hid it with a look of arrogance. He wore dark jeans, a dark grey v-neck shirt, and a leather jacket. He instantly reminded me of the sexy Damon Salvatore of the stupid Vampire Diaries show.

Shoot me now. I'm making comparisons between real-life and a television show.

You think Damon is sexy?! Seth was rolling in laughter. Well not literally, but you get the point.

No!

Enough! Sam bellowed – cue the eye-rolling.

"I come in peace," the leech said in a repulsive-sounding voice – not at all like the vampires on the show. He had his hands up arrogantly to show that he was unarmed.

Sam phased out and was in front of the leech in human form. If the vamp was surprised, he didn't show it.

"What business do you have here?" Sam asked, all serious and whatnot.

"I was just passing by. I was going to feed in Forks but the clan of vampires there told me to leave because I was on their territory," he spat. "And as I can see here, this here is your packs territory."

Oh, puh-lease! I think, rolling my eyes. Who does this guy think he's fooling?

Sam's not gonna buy it, Embry quipped.

"What makes you think I believe you will leave my people unharmed?" Sam asked in low voice, not bothering to disguise the venom in his tone.

"You don't have to believe me," the leech shrugged, not caring.

Wow, what a douche, Jared says.

"You're lying!" Sam spat. "The Cullens would have told you the La Push area is off limits!"

Again the leech shrugged. This caused us all to subconsciously take a step forward, warning the leech to be cooperative. This didn't go unnoticed by the vampire. His demeanor slipped but he was quick to recover it once again.

"Okay look," the leech said. "My answer will bug the hell out of all of you, and I really don't want to deal with an angry pack."

"What. Is. It." Sam seethed.

"I was curious about her," he says, pointing a finger at me. I growled in response.

Leah has a secret admirer! Quil snorted.

At least I have admirers around my age range, pedophile, I snap, hoping that hurt enough to get him to keep his trap shut. It did.

His friends were not impressed. Paul, however, was quite amused, even giving me an image of him clapping in approval.

I decided to humor him and gave a mental image of me giving a bow of thanks.

"What about her?" Sam growled, taking a step toward the vampire.

"Can I talk to her?"

Excuse me? No way in hell! I yell.

At Sam's silence, the leech continued.

"Didn't think you'd let me, but a man has to try, right?" The leech joked. Joked! "I just wanna talk to her, there are a couple of things I'm sure she'd like to know."

"Absolutely not. What you have to say to Leah you can say to us all."

"I wouldn't mind saying it out loud, to be honest, but she might," he shrugged, then shifting his body to face me. "Phase back sweetheart, I promise I won't hurt you. But trust me when I say this, this is something you're going to want to know."

Jacob took a protective stance in front of me and growled menacingly at the lech.

We all know you're the Beta, Jacob, I growled. Stop showing off and get out of my way!

You're not seriously considering talking to him, are you? He whipped around to face me, with huge eyes.

Why not? He says I want to know about whatever he has to tell me. If he tries anything I get to kill him.

Are you insane? He was barking. Barking!

Maybe.

Cut the crap, Leah, you're not going anywhere alone with a leech, Paul snapped angrily.

Yeah, do you have a death wish?! Quil pipped up. Huh. Guess he's talking again.

I think she should talk to him, Embry says, looking me straight in the eyes.

Thank you for believing in me, Embry! I say, and I mean it. He seems to be the only one that knows I can take care of myself.

Embry, Jared warns.

Jared, Embry says, mocking him. Leah can take care of herself. We'll be right here if you need us, Leah.

I agree with Embry, Seth says. What if the vampire has something important to tell her?

Like what?! We don't even know who he is! How the hell would he have any valuable information for us, let alone Leah?! Jacob was towering over Seth, challenging him to argue back.

I chose that exact moment to dart behind a bush and phase.

"Say what you need to say and be gone," I snap, making my presence known. "Or I can kill you, that sounds like more fun."

The leech has the nerve to grin at me and that just infuriates me more.

"Leah," Sam says in worried tone, "phase back, he is not to be trusted."

"No, I wanna know what he has to say," I say trying to move past him only to be blocked by him.

"Leah," he says slowly, "phase back. Now."

And then I did. Because he used the voice.

Fuck you, Sam! I snarl.

I hear laughter and I turn to see all of them laughing. Well Jacob isn't laughing but I know there is a smug smirk hidden behind all of that fur.

Don't speak, Jacob.

I told you to listen to me and what do you do? You don't listen. Look where it got you, he says, coming up to me.

Take two more steps and I will rip your balls off and feed them to you, I warn, my hackles raising.

You may not think the others can handle you, Leah, he says in a deep voice, taking two steps - as if to emphasize something - toward me. But you can bet your ass that I can handle you over and over again.

I was about to attack the arrogant jerk when I heard the stupid leech call out my name. I whipped my head toward him and growled, baring my teeth. If I can't ever know whatever he has to tell me, I might as well kill him, right?

"Since your alpha doesn't want me stealing you away, I'll come back another time and we'll talk," he says, winking. "See you soon, beautiful."

And then he's running with lighting speed towards the Canadian border with Sam and the rest of the pack hot on his wheels.

What in the hell is going on?

You said you wanted excitement, there you have it, my stupid conscience said.

I shake off the nerves that crept its way up my spine and into the lower pit of my stomach and race in the direction my pack ran.

Be careful what you wish for, I think, laughing bitterly.

a/n: Lemme know what you all think! :) Also, if you find any typos and grammar mistakes, please let me know! I always reread what I write before I post them onto fanfic but somehow I always miss a couple of things! Thanks!
