When I opened my eyes I couldn't see much. It was dark, night I think, but I couldn't tell. It appeared as though I was on the ground. Wait, nope, I was definitely on the ground. I lifted myself off the ground to sit against a tree. I wiped the mud off my face. My face stung as a swiped my arm across it. I looked down at my sleeve, and there was fresh blood. I held my breath, I couldn't stand the smell of it. I thought I might be sick.

"It's about time you woke up. I thought maybe I'd killed you."

"Who are you?" I said dazed from the smell.

"I'm just like you." She looked down at me. "You're bleeding pretty bad. Maybe, we should get out of here."

"You are not just like me." I tried to snap. I didn't think that she even moved, but I could feel her hand print linger on my face. I could no longer hold back my tears. "Why are you doing this to me? I just want to go back home."

"Why would you want to go there? All they ever did was lie to you." I looked up and glared at her. "Don't look at me like that, you know it's true. All those years, letting you think you were just a normal girl, when really you were a monster." She paused, and let an evil grin cross her face. "If they really cared, they would have changed you when you were human. I mean if they really wanted to keep you. But it doesn't look like they did. I mean, look around, they're not here. I doubt they've even noticed your gone, or maybe they were just glad to be rid of you. I mean you could ruin the treaty. You could have started a war of sorts."

She was right. About all of it. I'd always known they didn't really care about me, if they had, they would have changed me. They would have wanted to keep me forever. I looked down at my hands, they were shaking. Hearing the words out loud hurt more than I thought they would. It make me far more angry than I would have thought.

"What do you want with me?" I choked out.

"I want to help you." Her words seemed odd, mainly from the injury on my head, and the look of hate in her eyes.

"How can you help me?" I didn't think it was an unreasonable question, but I guess she did, seeing as she grabbed my collar and pinned me to the tree. Then she dropped me.

"I can make you faster, stronger. I can teach you how to block the others from your head. So they can't find you. I can my you self reliant. I can make you better than ever one of them." I couldn't read the look on her face, it was seemingly happy, but full of cruelty. Then her face changed, it went softer, and she held out her hand. "We really should get your head looked at." With that she helped me up.

"I don't want to get hit again." I touched my face. "But can you tell me your name and where we're going?"

"My name is Leah Clearwater. We're heading towards Qeubec. A town called Trois-Riveres. It's far enough out so the others can't hear your thoughts, before you can learn to control them. But we can't phase , you don't know the control so we'll be flying soon."

The way she spoke confused me. She seemed so nice. But I put my hand up to my face, and remembered her short temper. She reminded me of Shelly's dad. He was always so nice to us when I was over there, but when I'd leave, he was totally different. He would hit her, hard. For the longest time she'd make excuses. But one night she showed up at our house with a black eye and bloody nose. I shuddered at the thought. I remember, Jasper had to leave, he still has a hard time dealing with "surprise" blood, well other than mine. The thought made me shiver and shake. Leah noticed.

"You need to calm down, we'll be in town soon and if you phase you won't have anything to wear. Think of something that makes you happy. You'll need to work on building a happy place."

She lifted me on to her back, and began to run. She was running faster than my father, which was hard to do, but the speed made me feel oddly safe. We got to town and cleaned up, and boarded the plane. I made sure to be seen by everyone who owned a shop, store, or security camera, so my father could find me, if he wanted to. But I doubted he did or anyone else for that matter, or he would have already been here. I think Leah was right. They didn't care, they never did. But some part of me knew that.

Six Months Later…

He looked over at me, and I smiled. He followed me into the alley, just as I thought he would. The look in his eyes, was dark, evil. I felt him as his arm go behind my neck, and push me up against the wall. He pressed his cold body up against mine. "Now if you're a good little girl I won't hurt you…much." He sneered. He put his face into my hair and taking a deep breath. "Mhmm, you smell wonderful, too pretty to be what you are."

That was it, I couldn't take it anymore. We had this all planned out, but Leah hadn't shown up yet, and this creep was getting to close. I put my hands on the wall, on either side of my chest. With all of my strength I pushed back ward, slamming us into the adjacent wall. "Now what were you saying?" His arm reached up and grabbed me around the neck.

"Cute," he sputtered. He tightened his grip around my neck. I threw my head back into his face. If he hadn't been up against the wall, he would have fallen to the ground. But I felt his body go limp against me, I took a step forward and let him fall to the ground.

Quickly I dismembered him, and shoved the pieces into my bag. I mean you can't just burn something like this in an alley in Quebec, without drawing attention.

I walked from the alley, when two women entwined arms with me. "I thought you were going to help me?" I looked at Leah on my right.

"We had to see if you were ready, if you could do it alone." Leah looked at me pleased, and smiled. For the past six months she, and another female werewolf, Ali, had been teaching me techniques for killing leeches.

"And you did it without even phasing, that's impressive. I couldn't channel that kind of strength without phasing for a year." Ali was small for a werewolf. But she was far stronger than Leah. I'm not too sure, as to why she was with Leah, but I was just always told that her story was much like Leah's. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with a guy/wolf, named Paul, because she too talks in her sleep. "You did good kid." She smiled up at me. She once told me that I was stronger, faster, and often times, strategicallysmarter than any werewolf she's ever met.

This was my new family. These two were all I had, and for the first time I had no doubts that they cared. They had chosen me. They told me all about my other "family." They were all liars. Edward especially, he actually killed people willingly, for a time, and let's face it leeches never really change. They've been known to slip up. I felt my hands start to shake. So did they. They let go of me, and I burst out of my human form, and was gone, but I could faintly hear the remains of their conversation.

"Told you we'd need that change of clothes. She's lucky she's so fast, otherwise someone would have seen her."

"Did you hear her thoughts though?" I could hear the smile in Ali's voice. "She hates them, I'm pretty sure she's ready to go back."

"No, Ali, you are the only one who has that talent when we're in this form." Leah had always been jealous that Ali had a special talent. "But I do agree she's ready…"

The rest of the conversation was lost to me as I finally reached the woods. They were right though, I hated them. All of them. The Cullen's for lying, and those good for nothing wolves for turning their backs on all of us. One day they'll pay. I pushed myself faster and further into the forest.

Do review please. I know this part seems as if it happened too fast, but try to take into account I wanted to get to the up coming events faster, and she is a teenage girl, who pretty much didn't think that her family really wanted her, because they wouldn't change her or hadn't found her yet, so she's easily manipulated...hope you liked it. Can't wait to put up the next chapter. D
