I do not own Twilight or the characters
but I do tell them what to do from time to time!
Leah's POV
Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now?
I ran as fast as I could, following the trail Alec left behind. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I found him or even if I found him. For all I knew, I could be running to my death. If the Volturi caught me, that was it, I would be dead. I don't know how I was able to pick his scent out from the rest of the group. They all smelled horrible to me, but not Alec. His scent was almost enough to make me weak in the knees. He was the most amazing combination of orange roses and a hot summer day; not too sweet or overpowering. I was maybe a good mile from the field when I stopped dead in my tracks. I closed my eyes to concentrate I realized that the two paths had split. The scent of the other vampires continued east but Alec's headed west, close to where I came from.
"Is he looking for me? Did he go back to find me?" I turned around on my heels and followed the scent back. I followed it up the rocks to the mountain clearing. I reached the rocks where his scent was the strongest and I started to make my way up the mountain. Alec's scent got stronger as I climbed. The sun was shining brightly above me and it was beating down hard. When I reached the top of the mountain, my eyes froze on the sight in front of me.
"Alec?" He was beautiful. He had the palest porcelain skin I had ever seen in my life. He had dropped the black robe that he was wearing earlier that day and under it, he was shirtless with a simple pair of black slacks. His skin was sparkling in the sunlight and I was mesmerized at the sight of him. He was in one word perfect. He was not extremely muscular, but he was lean. His stomach was flat and toned, his arms were semi thin, but they looked as though he could carry the whole world on his shoulders and not stumble once. When I spoke his name, he turned to me almost too fast for me to see.
"Who are you? Why am I here? I should be with my family right now, but…I…" He stared into my eyes and with one glance I knew he was feeling everything I was feeling. He was scared, afraid to let go and let the gravity that was pulling us together take its hold on him. I moved closer to him as slowly as I could.
"Alec, I know this is crazy, believe me I am as confused as you are, but… Alec tilted his head to the left and lifted his left eyebrow. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your eyes. You were the wolf at the field. That was you. You looked at me and everything changed. I couldn't take my eyes off of you. My sister tried to pull me away, but God, what have you done to me?!" He flew past me so quickly that I could only feel the wind from him whip across my face.
"Listen, I don't like this either, but I can't stay away from you. You see, I imprinted on you. I didn't mean to...it just happened."
"What do you mean you imprinted on me? What does that mean?" In one swift move, he was back in front of me, standing so close to me that the light from his skin was reflecting off of my skin. "I should want to kill you right now. I should want to blind you, take away your hearing and force you to walk off of this mountain. But I can't and I don't know why, so you better tell me before I force myself to go against these feelings and make you whimper at my feet."
"You won't do that." He was so close to me I could smell his sweet breath on my face. It took all that I had not to tear the rest of his clothes off and make love to him under the unforgiving sun. I knew I could not do that. He needed to know what was happening to him. "Alec, I imprinted on you. When I saw you on the field and we looked into each other's eyes, we became each other's everything. It is something that happens with my kind. We find the one person that we are meant to be with forever. Most of my pack has imprinted and now I have too. The only difference is that I imprinted on a vampire that came to destroy my family and our friends. I know you hate me Alec, or at least you want to, but you can't. And as much as I should hate you too, I can't do that either. We are drawn together. I know you feel it. Gravity is pulling us together. That is why I came after you and that is why you came back looking for me."
Alec didn't say a word. He stared into my eyes for what felt like an eternity. The electricity was rolling off of our bodies and my breathing became uneven. Alec stepped closer to me and he closed the space between us. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I didn't have time to think before he had his hands in my hair and his lips came crashing into mine. My arms locked around his neck and he deepened the kiss parting my lips with his tongue. Just as I thought, his lips were a perfect match for mine. My mind was going a mile a minute. I couldn't think of anything but him. His skin was as cold as ice, but the combination of his icy touch and the blazing heat that my body produced was heaven. He lightly bit down on my bottom lip, not breaking the skin, but enough to get my attention. Without a second thought, I wrapped my legs around his waist and my fingers tangled into his dark brown hair. Alec began to carry me to the mountain wall when an alarm went off in my head. I quickly pulled his face from mine and released my legs from around his waist.
"Why did you stop? I thought…"
"Shh. Believe me, I didn't want to stop, but I don't know if we can. This has never happened before...a vampire and a wolf. I mean, there's Nessie and Jake, but she's just a baby. Shut up Leah, too much information too soon. I mean, we have so much to talk about."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm sorry, I guess I just got carried away. You're so beautiful and you're right, I can't stay away from you. No matter how much I want to kill you right now because I know we are supposed to be enemies, I can't bring myself to do that. I have never felt like this before… wait, what is your name? You know mine, but I don't…" I cut him off before he could finish. I began to laugh hysterically. It dawned on me that I was about to give myself to a man who did not even know my name.
"What are you laughing at?" I could see the corners of his mouth rising while he tried to hide the fact that he was amused at my amusement.
"Leah, my name is Leah. And I am laughing because we were just about to turn this mountain into dust with our bodies and you didn't even know my name. Sorry for laughing, but my name is Leah." Alec was smiling back at me, his bright, perfect white teeth were gleaming in the sun light. His lips were plump and all I wanted to do was to crash back into him again. Alec took a step back and leaned his bare back up against the rocks.
"Leah...that's Hebrew, it means weary. Are you weary, my lovely Leah?" Alec had the sweetest smile on his face, but my face dropped. If only he knew how 'weary' I was. He must have seen the change on my face because he quickly pulled me into his arms and held me to his chest.
"I'm sorry, it's just I have been through a lot these last few years, and-"
"Stop, not now. I don't want to ruin this moment. We are here, me and you, that's all that matters now. Let's spend this time getting to know each other." I laid my ear to his chest and just when I expected to hear a light thumping, I realized there wasn't one.
"Alec, what are we going to do? We can never stay together."
"Shh, Leah, I know. But now that I have found you, I'm never going to give you up. I am a stubborn man. I always get what I want, and what I want is you. I don't know how this is going to work out, but it will, I promise you that."
"But your family, Alec. They just left here after trying to murder my pack and the Cullens. They won't let you stay with me. I haven't the slightest idea what we are going to do."
"Leah, let's just enjoy the time we have together now. I have to leave soon. I told my family that I came back to keep an eye out on the Cullens. They will know something is wrong if I do not find them tonight. We will work this out later."
I spent the next few hours in Alec's arms sitting up against a rock. He told me all about him and his sister Jane. He told me how they became vampires and how Aro had saved their lives when they were almost burned at the stake. He told me about Volturi and how he secretly longed to be free. I told him all about Forks and the reservation, about my tribe's history and how I was the first female wolf in my pack. We were getting to know each other so well, and just as I was going to tell him about my dad's death and Sam, the sun set over the horizon.
"Leah, I have to go. They will come looking for me if I don't go now. Aro is very protective and he likes to keep us close to him. I promise you, I will come back. Can you meet me here in one month to the day at sunrise? We are going to be together, Leah, I promise you that."
"I'll be here. One month from now, right here, I promise. Please be careful. I can't lose you Alec. I didn't even know if I would be able to imprint and now that I have, I won't let you go."
Alec pulled me to him and for the second time on our mountain top his lips crushed mine with so much power I thought my legs would give out on me. He let me go and took off down the mountain.
I ran the opposite direction back towards La Push. The further I ran, the more my heart broke. All I wanted was to be with him, to hold him and learn all I could about him. One month Leah, give it one month and he will be yours again. I reached La Push as the dark sky set in. I ran to the front porch of my house and stopped to compose myself before I entered. When I opened the door, Jacob, Seth, and the rest of the Pack were sitting in the living room waiting for me. So much for ending the night on a good note.
