Hey everyone! Thanks for reviewing! I'd like to just say something quickly. I just got a review from someone that was very mean. I'm not upset that they didn't like the story. I'm upset that they reviewed to tell me that I should feel bad for writing such a bad story. They also dissed Twilight too. They said, and I quote, "That sucked worse than Twilight itself. This story is bad and you should feel bad." I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the way that they said that they didn't like it was rude. They could have just said that they didn't like it and that's it. I now know why everyone doesn't like flamers. One, they are rude to you and your story. Two, they don't have to be mean to the story, they could politely say that they didn't enjoy it, and be on their merry way. Three, it hurts your feelings and makes you feel bad. Personally, I had to watch all 3 Charlie the Unicorn Videos on Youtube to feel better. Thanks for listening to this. I origionally wasn't going to post this A/N, but I need to get my feelings out.

Here's Chapter DOS!


Previously, in Rebirth –

I looked up and saw a small figure dancing in the branches. I started to growl. Come out; come out, wherever you are… I taunted. But, of course, the parasite couldn't hear me…

I heard a soft thud, and turned around to face the vampire standing in front of me.


I started to growl uncontrollably at the murderer in front of me. It was loud and thunderous. This vampire had a bubbly smile on its face. I had no idea why until it started to speak.

"Hi, Leah!" It shouted.

How does it know my name? I said in my head. I turned my head to the side as a gesture of questioning her words. I was still growling until she spoke again.

"Oh, how rude of me! You probably don't even know who I am. It's just that we haven't been together for a long enough time when you're human to realize who I am." She stuck her hand at me, and then took it back. She must have realized that I was a wolf and couldn't exactly shake her hand. She started babbling again. "My name is Alice Cullen."

Oh! So this was the Alice that I have heard so much about from Jacob and Seth. She was the psychic. Apparently, she couldn't see our futures or Nessie's future. I grinned. Sweet.

Alice backed away with her hands up. She was looking at my teeth. Oh, I realized that I looked as if I was bearing my teeth. I quickly closed my mouth and looked at the fanny pack attached to my ankle. I really wanted to change back and go ask Alice what the hell she wanted. I whined to make my want prevalent.

"Leah, I like your bedazzled fanny pack and all, but fanny packs are so granny-ish. Why don't you come over so we can consider your options for carrying around clothes."

I looked at her like she was crazy and shook my head no. She sighed. "Oh, come on. Let's just go." I shook my head again. She frowned. "I guess we'll just have to do this the hard way… JACOB! COULD YOU PLEASE ASK LEAH TO GO TO MY HOUSE?" She boomed.

I gulped. Jacob was the Alpha. If he wanted me to do something, I couldn't refuse. That's when I heard his Alpha-tone of voice ordering me to go over to the Cullen's. I sighed and nodded towards Alice. She clapped her hands and told me to follow her. I started to run with her, which was my full speed.

We arrived at the house 5 minutes later. I sat down on the ground to take some deep breaths but was disgusted by the scent that each gulp of air brought me. I crinkled my nose. And Alice shrugged apologetically.

"You look thirsty. Why don't I go get you some water?" I nodded, and she zipped into the house. I sat down and started tugging on the zipper of the fanny pack. Alice came back with a cup of water a minute after.

"Here it is," she saw me struggling with the zipper. "Let me help you." She bent down and un-zipped the fanny pack. She gingerly took the garments out of the bag and laid them on the ground. Her lips pulled down at the corners. She was unhappy with my outfit choice, I guess. I frowned and laid down on the ground, head between my paws. "It's okay, Leah. I'm going to help you." My ears perked up. "Phase back and let's talk woman-to-woman."

I sat up, grabbed the clothes in my teeth, and slinked behind the bushes. I phased and changed into my shorts and tee-shirt. I stepped out from behind the bushes and played with the ends of my short hair, embarrassed. She handed me the glass and I chugged it down in one sip. Man, I guess that I was really thirsty.

"C'mon." she said. "Let's walk and talk."

She led me into the house and into the large main room. Jasper and Emmett were sitting on the couch playing Halo. They were mashing on the buttons to make the people on the screen mutilate everything in their paths. I snickered. Of course vampires would love playing Halo. They already destroy and kill things. What's one more life, even if it's virtual, to them?

I heard someone clear their throat and I turned around to see Edward standing in the doorway of the kitchen. "Not all of us are bad, Leah." He said. I frowned. I guess that I forgot that he could read minds. "Do you actually think that we want to kill?" I turned around to see Alice frowning at him.

"You can be really annoying at times." She grabbed me by the arm, "We're going upstairs." Upstairs? I thought to myself. Was she planning to corner me and suck my veins dry?

Edward chuckled and nodded at Alice. Probably answering a question she asked in her mind. "Let's go. I promise not to kill you, okay?" She smiled at me and I couldn't help returning the favor.

I was still curious about why she was dragging me up the stairs, so I decided to actually speak. "Alice," I started. We were on the landing for the second floor. "Where are you taking me?" We were in front of a large door.

"My room. I need to talk to you alone." She opened the door to a room with beautiful eggplant colored walls. There were silver designs on the wall that made up a pattern. There was a beautiful dark, wooden bed in the middle of the room, but if I remembered from what Seth had told me, vampires don't sleep. What would they be using the bed for?

I heard laughter from the floor below, and that's when my brain clicked. Oh. Oh. Alice had sat down on the bed and I was still standing in the doorway.

"Sit down, let's talk." She gestured to the spot next to her on the bed. I reluctantly went over to the spot, and sat down. I uncomfortably played with a loose string on the edge of my tie-dye shirt.

"Leah," she started. "Jasper's been receiving these strange emotions from you lately. "You've been sad and in pain all the time. And jealous, too."

I gulped. Was it that obvious? I shook my head. "Jasper must be wrong. Like how you can't see my future, he must be reading someone else's emotions."

"Leah," she said, annoyed. "What other people - err - creatures that resemble people are at all near this place? It's only us and you wolves. Jasper can read your emotions just fine. You and all the other wolves."

I sighed. She knew that I was lying. "Okay!" I shouted. "Maybe I'm upset! Maybe I'm jealous! Maybe I'm in so much pain, I think if this is all worth while! But what does that have to do with you?" I paused from my rampage to hear her answer. She started to speak, but I went for the door and interrupted her, not caring what she was about to say. "I'm going."

"NO!" She ran over to the door and blocked the exit. "Listen to me! It just so happens that I want to help you! Do you want to know something? I want to help you! I feel horrible about what we have done to you. Making you like this. We caused this. We made you a wolf."

I stood there with my mouth agape. If my grandmother had been looking at me, she would have told me to shut my mouth, before a bird flies in. I closed my mouth so I could comprehend what she had just said. Wait…

"You did this to me?" I whispered. "The vampires, they made the change happen." That one wasn't a question. I remembered a bonfire down at La Push beach early last summer. Bella came with Jacob before she turned. The elders told the story of Taha Aki and the spirit wolves. They said that the werewolf gene is triggered whenever vampires are in the area.

Alice nodded. I started to violently shake. I was about to turn. No! No! I couldn't. I needed to listen to what she needed to say. "Leah. I'm so sorry for what we've done to you." She came over, and started to hug me. It was bone crushing, to say the least. She started whispering to me. "I want to help you. You seem to be getting by with the most amount of difficulty. I want to repay you for our turning you. What can I do? Say the word."

I started to speak, but she interrupted me. "I already think that I know. I'm going to help repair your life. I'm going to help repair your love life so you can have someone like my Jasper, or Bella's Edward, or whoever to stand by your side through thick and thin. So what do you say?"


Thanks for all the positive feedback for chapter one! I want to make a quick shout-out to Twilighters Anonymous Podcast. This story was origionally about Leah and her fanny pack because there was a fan question about where she keeps her clothes when she "goes wolf" so I just thought it was a good idea and expanded upon it! Hope you liked this chappy!
