Leah has no idea where she's headed, all she knows is she needs to get far, far away from that house. Her wolf wines at her, begs her to go back to her imprint, the one person made just for her, but she ignores the wolf in favor of running.
Jaime and Calum are the only ones in her head, and once they realize why she's freaking out, their thoughts turn to shock and, to Leah's horror, judgement. It's what Calum says that drives the loathing towards herself even further.
Guess being a wolf really does make her less of a girl, if she's imprinted on a girl. Calum thinks, and then immediately apologizes. But the damage is already done.
Leah tears through the trees, with tears blinding her vision. She trips over a log, stumbles down a hill, and lays there. Going over the fact that she was now tied to a girl, her mate was a girl; which really solidified the thoughts she had about being less of a woman because of the change, a girl that loved vampires, basically a Bella two point oh.
Although, she's way more gorgeous than Bella ever managed to be as a human. Leah thinks, and immediately bashes her head into the ground for thinking something like that.
She fills with rage, and then catches a whiff of an unfamiliar vampire's sent. Blocking out all the words from her pack mates, well, as much as she could, Leah leaps up and runs straight towards the scent.
She spies a pale, black haired, red eyed leech wiping blood off the corner off her mouth as she runs through the woods, and Leah growls in rage and springs towards her.
Leah knows that this vampire could easily be an ally, but her rage and frustration overpowers any other thought.
And what kills Leah is the fact that she can tell her rage is somewhat fabricated out of the fact she was in an awful situation, because she couldn't help but feel fairly peaceful from the imprint. So, she puts her teeth to good use and sinks them into the shoulder of the leech in an attempt to rip it's arm off.
However, the leech only bashes her arm into Leah's mouth, making her taste blood, and then sinks a crushing blow to her side.
Leah howls in pain, but goes back to the leech to fight. The leech jumps over Leah, and Leah jumps up and grabs her foot in her mouth, and with a sound like nails on a chalkboard, the foot is removed from her body.
Leah spits it out in satisfaction, and the leech tumbles to the ground,getting back up as well as she can with only one foot.
Knowing her opponent has weakened, Leah goes in for the kill, but is bombarded by a flurry of teeth and fur, and finds herself pinned down by Jacob.
Calm down, Jacob orders, and Leah whines in pain from the pressure he's putting on her injured ribs.
She notices Edward has arrived, and is tending to the leech Leah had been trying to kill. She knows that if it hadn't been for the distraction of her imprint, she would have had the leech turned into a pile of ash in no time.
Everything is going to be fine, Leah. Jacob says, and Leah knows he means the imprint.
You don't know that, Jacob. This is what I was afraid of. I'm not gay! I like boys, I don't like girls! Leah shouts, and yet she can't help but think about the fantasies her mind played out when she saw her imprints curves. God, I'm disgusting.
No, you're not. She is the one the spirits gave you, there's a reason she's yours. Jacob assures her, and Leah wants to cry.
What's my mom gonna think? What's the pack gonna think? Leah cries, and although she doesn't intend to, she wonders what Sam will think.
They're all going to be happy you've finally found the one. He responds, and Leah snaps at him.
She can't be the one, Jacob. I like boys. She exclaims.
Vic thought he liked girls until he imprinted on Kellin, Leah. The ancestors know what's best. Jacob says, and Leah wants to spit in his face.
If the ancestors knew what was best, they wouldn't have fucked me over so many different times in my life. She growls, and Jacob shakes his head.
Don't throw away your happy ending, Lee. Jacob says, and finally moves off of Leah. Bella is going to get you new clothes, and then I want you to phase back so that someone can look at your ribs, okay?
Leah wants to decline, but the pain in her side is enough to make her think twice. Fine, but then I'm going far away from here.
You know you can't do that, Leah. It's too dangerous. Jacob says, giving her his now perfected Alpha look.
It won't be forever, it will just be so I can clear my head, asshole. Leah rolls her eyes, and follows Jacob as they walk to the Cullens. She notices that they're the only two from their pack that are phased. She also notes that Edward and the leech she fought with are gone.
Bella is waiting in the edge of the woods by the house, and she sets down a bundle of clothing by a bush.
"Leah, these are for you. Jake, yours are over there." Bella points off towards more shrubbery, and Jacob nods. Leah does nothing.
Bella leaves for the house, and the wolves phase back into their human forms. Leah has been given black cotton shorts, a grey tank top, and new undergarments. She knows that they're new because they still have tags on them, and she realizes it was probably Alice who had thought ahead to buy all of this, since she loved supplying the wolves with clothing.
It took Leah much longer than it should have to get dressed, because her ribs were burning with every slight move she took. Finally, she was dressed, and Jacob was already inside. So, she was left on her own to try and get back in the house. She nearly cried at the pain it took to take two steps towards the giant white house, but she gritted her teeth and decided she may as well just sit on the ground because there was no way she was getting any closer with her pain.
Seth came outside then, and Leah figured the mind reading leech must have heard her pain. Seth helped her inside, and sat her on the loveseat she had been sitting at before. None of the newly arrived leeches were in the front room, and neither was her imprint.
Edward appeared out of nowhere, a crooked grin on his face.
"Well, at least you ripped off a limb." He says, and Leah smirks back at him through her pain.
"She deserved it, at least she just has to slap some venom on there and then it's good as new." Leah replies sarcastically.
Edward lets out a small chuckle. "Since Carlisle isn't here, I'm going to take a look at you." He says, and then slowly touches his ice cold hands to Leah's side.
She hisses in pain, and he instructs her to lay down on the couch. She complies, and he feels her ribs a bit more intensely, and although the cold is great, the pressure hurts, and she imagines the different ways she could rip his head off his body and shove it down his throat.
"Always so violent," Edward muses, and takes his hands away from her. "Well, you've broken a rib for sure, and bruised the rest. You won't be able to phase for a few days."
"That's just fucking lovely." Leah groans, and Edward gives her a sympathetic look. Great, he knows she imprinted on a goddamned girl.
"I'm not going to judge you, Leah," Edward murmurs, low enough so only she can hear. In normal volume, he continues. "Bella, would you get some bandages for Leah?"
Bella appears after only a few seconds, and before Leah can protest, Edward has wrapped her ribs in the bandage, leaving her indebted to the leech.
"Take this." Leah looks up to see Alice standing in front of her with a glass of water and Advil.
"Thanks," Leah mutters, and downs the water with the pills. "Where's Seth?"
"He, Dovizia, Renesmee, and Nubia are outside with the others." Edward responds, and with a twist in her chest Leah concludes that Nubia is her imprint.
"Okay," Leah says. "Any chance I could go home?"
From Edward's expression, Leah can tell that he knows her wolf does not want to go home, and be further away from her imprint than they already were.
"I can give you a room upstairs, if you'd like." Edward say quietly, once again only for her to hear.
Leah wants to protest, but her wolf is overpowering. "Fine." She says, and her wolf hums in appreciation.
Edward offers to carry her, but Leah declines. So, slowly but surely, they make their way upstairs, and she is eventually given a room with a bed bigger than any she had seen before. She also notes the TV set, and is grateful there's something to distract her.
"If you need anything, let us know," Edward says, and then disappears. He never liked being around Leah's self deprecating thoughts for too long. Honestly, Leah doesn't blame him.
Leah goes to sit on the bed, but her curiosity gets the better of her and she is drawn to the window, where she looks out, searching for the dark haired girl that belongs to her.
She sees her, standing near her brother, vampires and half vampires, and Jacob. To Leah's complete and utter surprise, her imprint is holding fire in her hands, opening her fist to let it appear, and shutting her fist to make it disappear.
Leah shut the curtains, her heart pounding in her chest, and sunk to the floor, ignoring the burning pain emanating from her ribs. What was she going to do?
I feel like this chapter was rather boring, but there will be interaction between Leah and Nubia in the next chapter, I promise. Hopefully it wasn't too bad, and hopefully you guys like it. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed.
Sidenote; which wolf would you like to see an imprint story on? Jacob, Paul, Embry, Seth, Quill, etc. also, i'm thinking of starting a sort of spin off of this story for Seth and Dovizia. Let me know what you guys think in a review.
