Walking into the house, I flipped on the kitchen light. It was a mess. We were never ones for cleaning, but this was ridiculous. It looked like someone had ripped the place apart. Slowly I walked into the next room, and it hit me. A leech had been here. I could smell them all over everything. Following the scent only led me to the tiny backyard. I looked into the forest, but I could tell they were long gone. I seethed with furry. But there was no reason to change not really, the bloodsucker gone.

Closing my eyes I tried to focus. This is one of the things we had taught ourselves. It was a second sight. It allowed us to use our other senses to see. We saw using our ears, and our skin. The sound would point us in the right direction, and the slight change in heat would allow us to locate their exact whereabouts. We got the idea from the Tibetan monks. Because we were werewolves, and our senses were heightened, we could not only see them standing in front of us, but also the trail they left behind. This one's trial however was long gone.

"What the hell happened here?" I could hear Ali's disgust from the house.

"I don't know, I walked in and smelt the leech. They've been all over." I spoke with hate in my voice as I walked back into the house. They looked at me, questioning my appearance. I looked down and noticed I hadn't actually gotten dressed when I came in the door. My face flushed red. "I'm going to take a shower." I sprinted up the stairs to the bathroom.

Looking around it was quant. It wasn't too much to look at, but it was nice. It was home. We didn't have permanent rooms that were just ours, because we frequently changed who would sleep in the down stairs room for protection. It was a pattern.

Stepping out of the cool shower and I put on my "hunting outfit." It was a short skirt and a tight top. We found that the leeches liked the more innocent looking girls. Stupid leeches. As I walked out of the room, I sprayed myself with one of our citrus based perfumes. Through many experiments we found that it off set our werewolf smell. It came in handy when we're out hunting, if they don't know we're not human.

"You going out again?" Ali asked.

"I'm going to find that leech."

"No you're not. If they've found us it's time to move on, you know the drill." Leah's tone was sharp. And I did know the drill. In the six months I'd lived with them we've moved more times than I could count. We must be up near 35. We had been here two maybe three weeks, it was the longest we' been in one place. It was just starting to feel like home. We took very little when we left: a few changes of clothes, perfume, and wetnaps, in case we didn't stop for a long while. For girls, we were pretty low maintenance.

"Where to now?" I hated leaving, but I knew we had to.

Leah smiled at Ali. "I think it's time we took you home."

My arms started to shake. I closed my eyes, and tried to take deep breaths. Soon after I got here, Leah taught me how to control this. I had to go to a happier place in my head. So, I focused on it. I was on a beach, and there was someone's arms around me. I never did see his face. He told me he loved me and kissed my neck. I slowly opened my eyes, and my body was still. I let out a soft sigh, and tried to hide my smile.

"I'm glad you have that under control." Leah said pleased.

"I'm glad she finally learned to block us out." Ali laughed. "I was getting sick of that beach, and that," she began to snarl, "man." Paul must have done her over good. I mean anytime she thought of him, which I'm imagining she just did, her body would ripple.

"James," that was my nickname here, "we're only a two day run from where we're going. You need to block all of your thoughts, until we get there, and phase back." I nodded knowing why. "Once we're there, you need to be careful, and conceal any thoughts that may give away who we are. You know why." Oh, boy did I know why. That leech could read minds. He always knew what I wanted to hear, making all the things he, so cleverly lied about, so easy for me to believe; they were exactly what I wanted to hear.

"They are tricky lying bastards! You need to remember that when they try to convince you otherwise, because once they see how powerful you are, they WILL want you on their side, and will do anything they have to, to get you." Ali's voice was cold. I had a feeling that she wasn't just talking about battle sides. Ali looked over at Leah, "how are we going into this? Are we going to try and take them out, group by group?" Ali waited for an answer, and Leah looked like she was pondering the pro's and con's.

"Why don't we play with that treaty line? Get the leeches all worked up, and have them take out a few wolves for us." Leah and Ali both looked at me with smiles on their faces.

"Kid, you are brilliant." Leah said wrapping her arm around me.

We each grabbed what we had to and out the door we went.

I wasn't a fan of keeping our minds quiet for so long, sometimes it would get lonely in my head. But we had to, right? If any of those La Push, high and mighties, heard us, they'd ring the bells. They would then all come after us, seeing as Leah hadn't been there in about twelve years, and Ali about nine. Something about leaving the pack, and how it was looked down upon.

I could tell when we got closer; I could smell the ocean. The salt in the air burned my nose. We ran for another hour or so, before Leah gracefully phased into her human form, and yet continued to run without missing a beat. With that, Ali and I did the same. However, I was never that graceful, and I tripped on a root I hadn't seen. Of course I feel flat on my face. At the sound of me falling, the other two turned and looked back at me. They walked back at a slow pace.

"Well, I guess we can get dressed here." Ali laughed.

After picking myself up off the ground, we cleaned up, put on our normal clothes, and sprayed ourselves. "Can you smell me?" I asked Leah.

She took a deep breath, and crinkled her nose. "Yeah I can, but you smell like a cheap hooker."

"Damn, they're going to know Ali's here." I laughed and looked at Ali who glared at me. With that, we walked out of the forest, into what looked like an almost empty field. I looked around, and I remembered this place as if I had only left yesterday. However, it now seemed if the sky was caging me in rather than acting as a secure blanket from the sun.

Then without warning, the smell it hit me, as if some had hit me in the face. Then I saw here. The leeched called Rosalie. I felt my lips curl into a snarl. Then I felt a hand against my chest. "Not yet." Was all she said. I closed my eyes, and saw with my second sight she was the only one there. When I opened my eyes. "Alone?" She asked, and I nodded. With that she removed her arm, "then go for it." She smiled, that evil grin I knew all too well.

Then before I thought possible, I was a wolf, and I was two feet from Rosalie, and ready to attack.

Please review. I hope you like it. If you think something seems off please let me know. I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I have it written. Thanks for reading. D
