A Cinderwolf Story

Chapter 8 :: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.

LEAH POV

It's been a week since Jake and I got sentimental with each other and he never let me forget it. I was still the bitchy 'I don't give a fuck what you think' Leah, except every now and then I let people see the old me. Not a whole lot of the old me mind you, I wasn't turning into a giggly bobblehead like Jessica and Lauren, no way.

I've also been avoiding Sam at all costs, mainly because I know full well I will forget who the old Leah is once I see him. He was the reason the old Leah got lost anyway. It took me about a year to get her back, and it's just a piece of her I got back. There was no way I was going to let that piece slip away from me again.

I guess I should thank someone for reviving me. My secret admirer brought the old Leah back, but now it was even better because I wasn't vulnerable naive Leah like before. I'm not fragile; I'm strong with the old kind of spunk I used to walk around with. Life was feeling somewhat peachy, I guess.

I still had to run patrol, I still had to deal with the Paris and Nicole wannabes, I still had to work at the diner, I still had to tolerate wannabe Angelina Jolie, Maria and I still had to deal with the fact leeches were invading the damn state of Washington. It was the same routine that consisted of dealing with the hell hole I ended up in. But somehow, I was beginning to feel hope that I could get out of this mess. I even submitted my application for Julliard two days ago. It was my ticket out of La Push and Forks for a while, Jake said I should at least apply and that I could possibly be let off the hook and leave town to study.

However, all that changed when the whole wolf duty thing got brought up to a new level. There were reports of missing humans around the border of Washington. And just yesterday morning reports of mysterious animal attacks in Seattle stirred up the news. Sam and Jake had a meeting with the Elders and the leader of the leeches met with them at the border early last night.

The boys thought it was a reason to start a battle, but according to Jacob we won't be fighting any time soon. The leech family of freaks wasn't the cause. It was another group of leeches. Jake said once the outsiders cross the borders we're free to attack who ever because it was our duty to protect. The leech family even agreed to fight off their own kind if it comes to that. Especially since they had a half-breed with them. Like it mattered. I'm biased; the pack could take all the leeches on without help.

Today was like every freaking Monday. It all started out the same; I was sleeping peacefully in my bed confined in my secured locked room. Or so I thought.

The sun peaked out of my windowsill. I was feeling the mild heat over my already warm flesh. I was awakened by the bright light, but my eyes refused to open as I lay still on my bed. It was early, I knew it was so I fought against getting up.

The loud crashing of two bodies informed me it was time for my usual morning wake up call. It was the daily routine, Seth and Jake trying to pry me away from my bed and wake me up but I refused to no matter what they tried. Besides every entrance to my room was sealed shut and blocked making it impossible for them to enter.

"Jake, if you break the door my mom will eat you alive."Seth warned. I could only imagine what would happen to my dear alpha. Jacob was strong, hands down. But my mom? She can make the devil cry.

"Your mom is great and all but she can be scary. It's probably where Leah gets her bitch attitude." Jacob replied. I could hear them both chuckle, then I heard the door knob twist and jiggle a bit.

It was the morning routine, They would pound on my door repeatedly, trying to open it but fail. I would just get up when I knew I had enough of hearing the two attempting to open my door. But today they didn't bang on my door or threaten me. It was silent and all that echoed in my room was the doorknob being toyed around with.

"Seth hand me that thing and put it through the hole will you?" Jake asked and immediately my mind went into the gutter with thoughts I knew would disgust both Jake and Seth maybe even the rest of the world. I laughed to myself picturing the rather perverse thing I had just created with my imagination.

"Stop having sex outside my door."I finally spoke out, looking at the door before burying my head into the pillow.

I didn't hear a comeback. Instead the sound of the knob being played with like it was a jingle toy given to a baby. After a while, I heard a loud click but I didn't put thought into it, at least not until I was pounced on by Jacob Black.

"Aww Lee that hurt my feelings. Whatever happened to the Leah I had a sensitive talk with?" Jake teased as he bounced on me like a child. I didn't reply and since I didn't he punched me on my arm. It was a sissy punch actually.

"How the hell did you get in? No don't answer that, what the hell are you doing on bouncing on my back like a five year old on crack?"I asked. My voice was muffled by the pillow, hell my entire composure was held together because of the pillow but it was obvious I was annoyed. "And that punch on my arm was uncalled for, idiot. Besides, you punched me the same way Seth did when he was four and I stole his sippy cup."

"Dude you still had a sippy cup at four?"I heard Jake ask. I could only imagine where this talk was going.

"Didn't you?"Seth asked. He sounded pretty embarrassed his sippy cup story was exposed to his alpha. Oh the torture of being Seth Clearwater and having a sister like me. That was the worst, I felt bad for the kid.

Before Jake could even say anything I decided to end the talk, "Ok as much as I love the small chat between you to lovers about sippy cups, I have to get ready for school."

"Since when do you actually want to go to school?"Jake asked, still bouncing on my back like a small child. The boy needs to stop bouncing on me before I kick his sorry ass.

"Since being in school means I get to be away from the love fest that is Sam and Emily, duh."I pointed out, moving my head from the pillow so Jake could hear me loud and clear, "Now get the hell off me before I throw you off myself."

"I'd like to see you try."Jake challenged.

"Jake, Don't." I heard Seth warn like a small child telling you not to go into the forest because he himself was chicken to see what was going to happen.

"Oh yeah?"I asked. I wasn't planning on moving now since he knew my intentions. So, I waited a while. His body was tense so I knew he was waiting for me to throw him off.

"See you can't Lee. "He bounced on me again, proving that he was triumphant. It makes me wonder where Jacob Blacks brain is. The boy doesn't think at all.

I rolled my eyes as I finally had enough. I looked at Seth before pushing myself up. As I did, Jacob fell right to the floor. A smirk appeared on my lips as I rose from my bed, making sure I stepped right on Jake. "Idiot." I called out as I grabbed my usual clothing from the closet ignoring Jacob's cursing and groaning. I don't ever back down or lose a challenge. I didn't bother looking back at him, I just went right in the bathroom. I think I heard him call me a bitch but I could careless.

As per usual, I didn't bother taking a long time in the shower. Just long enough to clean up. I didn't bother doing all the fancy smancy girly stuff. I never do anyway. I threw on my shirt and shorts before I headed out the bathroom door. Total time in bathroom, 5 minutes. I wondered how many girls actually spent only 5 minutes in a bathroom, probably a handful. And I was one of them.

I grabbed a pair of socks before sitting on my bed to put them on. Jake and Seth were already downstairs probably stuffing their mouths with food. It didn't bother me at all I didn't eat as much as they did, hell I had a huge appetite but not as big as the boys. I didn't mind the alone time in the morning.

As of lately, I've been getting morning worthy sweet text messages from my mystery man. Every morning when I read his text I would feel like a fan girl of that famous boy band. Personally I don't know what girls see in those Jonwhatever brothers but hey, I'm not like every girl. Hence, why I don't know what they see in them.

I shook my head at the thought of them and grabbed my phone from my side table. I immediately smiled when I saw I had a text, sent to me about a good hour before I was even awake. It made me wonder what the boy does in the morning to be up that early. He sleeps later than me yet he's up before I could even think of getting up.

It wasn't like me to gush over boys or even in the slightest way feel like how I feel now, but I am a girl and I have these annoying butterflies in my stomach that tell me I like a boy. How horrible is that?

I shook my head at the thought. I had to kill those butterflies but not right now. They were making me feel fluttery as I read his text,

Text Message From Southern Empath

We're not too close in distance. We're not too near in miles. But text can still touch our hearts and thoughts can bring us smiles. The sun rises into the sky with the warmest smile, he wishes you a good morning, hoping that you have the perfect day.

I felt a tint of blush creep up my cheeks. God this boy was definitely something, make me blush like this. It was one thing to bring out the old me, but it's another when he makes me feel like a lovesick teenager.

As I was about to press reply my phone began to vibrate and out of obvious panic it picked up the call.

"LEE-AH"A loud obnoxious voice sang out from the other line. "Uncle Charlie took our cars to the shop."

I groaned, the voice belonged to Lauren. "Good morning to you too obnoxious wannabe Paris Hilton." I greeted, obviously annoyed.

"We need you to drive us to the diner to meet with Maria."She ordered. She was so bossy it wanted me to rip her to shreds.

"Why can't she just pick you up as always?"I asked as I looked out the window. Nice and sunny, for once it was sunny. It was a good thing.

"Because we're having breakfast there."Lauren whined. I hated when she whined. She sounded like Heidi from that The Hills show. Don't ask how I know, there was nothing on TV last Monday.

"Uh you idiots don't eat remember?"I informed her as I went to search for my converse. I threw them off last night now it was a hunt to find them.

"But we have to fight off the stupid anorexia rumors. Ok? It's an uncomfortable subject."Was she seriously just telling me this? They were beyond pathetic at this point.

"So you're going to a diner to pretend to eat. Classy." I spoke sarcastically as I found my shoes under my bed. I placed the phone on my bed, I wanted to hang up but I had to stay on the line or she'll keep calling me back until I picked up.

"We know its genius."She said proudly, I didn't reply which she took the cue and continued,"We need to be at the diner in a few minutes."

"I'm not your driver."I said in a firm tone as I slipped on my shoes, tying them messily.

"Oh but are. And you have to fix the fryer at the diner. Maria told us to tell you that. Oh and you need to pick up our cars from the shop after school, pick up the dresses Jessica and I bought from Port Angeles and buy more of that fish thing Uncle Charlie likes."

"It's called Salmon, genius. And Charlie doesn't eat any more at your place. He mostly eats at some other place of here. And that's when he's not sucking faces with my mom."I informed her as I grabbed the phone from my bed and placed it on my ear.

"Whatever. We need you to buy the Salmon so we can show him we love him."She responded clearly annoyed I wasn't complying.

"You love him for his money." I corrected.

"Look, once I get that modeling agency to notice me I am sure he will love me." She explained, Lauren getting a modeling contract would be a miracle. She probably has sent a hundred applications to all the agencies in the country and none have responded.

"Hey me too!" I heard Jessica yell out from the background. Again chances of them getting in a modeling thing is very very slim. I mean zero.

"Lose twenty more pounds Jessica then maybe you will."I heard Lauren say bitterly to Jessica. Even I felt bad for Jessica. She was slightly plus sized, not like big big but she wasn't tiny either. She was healthy but got tortured for it.

I shook my head and sighed, "Ok Nicole and Paris wannabes. Is that it?"

"Oh and are you almost done with my English paper? Its due Thursday. And this time can you make it so it sounds more like me?"Lauren asked. I haven't even started on my paper. What makes her think I was working on hers already?

"Like a dumb blond?"I replied, a smart remark actually. I smirked at my reply, It was genius.

"I can tell Sue you're treating us horribly. See what happens then."She scoffed.

"Yeah like my mom can punish me anymore than life has. "It was true, my mom knew only half the hell I was going through. Life was a bigger bitch and it was making sure my life was hell.

"Ok whatever. Drive us to the diner." She said impatiently, "NOW!"She demanded like the annoying brat she was.

I rolled my eyes as I hung up the phone. I hated Charlie for adopting them. I hated my mom for letting them move in the back house. I hated whatever power made me put up with all this bad stuff. I swear if this was because I cursed every God every known to man, I take all those back if all this would go away.

I sighed and grabbed my keys before darting out my room. As I reached the bottom of the stairs I took a peak in the kitchen. Looking over at Seth and Jacob eating like pigs.

"Where you going Lee?" Seth asked. It actually sounded more like 'whishrechuchonglee'.

I shrugged as I grabbed my backpack from the stairs. "Work. I have to drive dumb and dumberer to the diner and fix the fryer."I responded.

"I thought you didn't have work."Jake asked before stuffing another pancake down his throat.

"Well it pays the bills so I do have work."I answered like the responsible person I am, "Clean up after yourselves. I don't want the house looking like a mess."Ok so admittedly I sounded like my mom but after last time I really didn't want to be responsible for cleaning up after them.

"Aw man! No show? Fine. Whatever you say Mamma Mia."Jake teased.

I rolled my eyes as I started to walk out. Just before I was about to leave, I grabbed the nearest air freshener. A smirk on my lips as I stood in the opening, I had the perfect shot at Jake. And without warning I threw it at him. I smirked in victory as I heard the bottle hit his head with a loud thud then hit the floor with a clang.

"OW FUCK LEAH THAT FUCKING HURT!" Jacob cursed after me.

I shrugged, "Your fault almighty alpha."

And with that, I left the house with my bag slung over my shoulders. I could still hear Jacob cursing loudly as I made way to the back house. I rarely went to the back house, the reason was the stench of the perfumes the two morons use to spray the entire house. Seriously they're killing the ozone with the amount of Vera Wang, Channel, Dior whatever else perfume they own. They're murdering my nose with the smell, the enhanced smelling ability is not good with this.

I felt bad for Charlie, he had to deal with it when he was home. Maybe that's another reason why he stays at our place more than this hoe house.

As I reached the front steps, I banged my fist on the door. "You want a ride or what?!"I called out impatiently. If they wanted a ride it was at my convience. "I'm leaving with or without you!" I added and soon I saw the door open and two idiots stood before me glaring daggers.

I had to say, driving the two in my van, made riding Jacobs rabbit with Seth and Jake like heaven. They stunk up the entire van, spraying every inch of it with Britney Spears fantasy perfume before getting in. Then the entire drive to the diner consisted of them gossiping about Jasper Hale.

I just kept my mouth shut and my grip on the wheel as tight as possible. If they wanted to be the so called 'Dream Boats' dinner then be my guest. That would be my pleasure actually.

The drive was short, thank goodness. I parked the van on the nearest free spot. This to my luck happened to be a wet parking spot. I watched as the two sissy's squirmed and screamed, complaining how I parked on a disgusting puddle of nasties.

My reply? I shrugged, smirking happily as I headed inside the diner. The two twits following me were still annoyed at the fact I probably got their precious Prada boots just ever so slightly dirty.

"Good you're here. Leah, I need you to fix the fryer in which I am sure you are well aware of. After that you need to bus a lot of tables."Mr. Westworth spoke as he saw me enter the diner.

I didn't even bother answering Mr. Westworth back, I simply nodded. I couldn't afford another pay cut. I needed the money for Julliard. My tuition would be over the roof and I still had to make enough to take care of Seth. I didn't want to rely on my mom; she wasn't around as much anyway so it was like I was the responsible one.

I headed to the back room, hanging my backpack in the closet before grabbing the necessary tools to fix the fryer. I wondered why I was always the one doing the dirty job. Then again I don't think I would trust ol' Jorden to fix the fryer, he could blow the place up. He almost did two months ago.

The diner was packed with its usual morning customers, as I headed to the kitchen I couldn't feel more like an outsider than ever. Here I was working like a slave while Jake and Seth stuff their face at home, Sam and Emily make-out like no tomorrow, and I even felt slightly jealous of Maria and her two morons because they were out chatting instead of doing work. Being Jealous of those three was a rare thing, very rare.

I shook my head as I began to get to work. Fixing fryers was a pain. I didn't know how to fix it until Jake taught me how to fix the engine of the van, about three weeks ago. After that I applied the same logics to the fryer and got it working again.

However, this one took longer, who knows how long I spent trying to get it to work, but I finally finished. When I was done I made my way to the back to get cleaned up. I noticed I had a few cuts that were already healing but I had to pretend they needed tending to. It would heal up in a few minutes thank God, but the people around here don't need to know I really am a freak so I pretended to bandage them up.

I could hear loud giggling and laughing from the Charlies Angels rejects as I headed back inside the diner. I shook my head as I passed them.

"Oh look who we have here girls, Slave girl fixing the fryer."The obvious wicked tone in the voice was pure malice. I had the look of irritation on my face as I turned around to face her.

"What do you want Maria?"I asked, clearly annoyed and in no mood.

"Can you get me my bling?"She asked looking at me with that 'I'm better than you so do as I say' look.

"Your what?"I don't know what bling meant. Bling to me was the heavy junk rappers wore. Which by the way looked very trashy to say the least.

"It's water. The most expensive water in America."Lauren interrupted. I'm surprised she actually knew what it was. She had a brain of a peanut.

I rolled my eyes,"Uh her dad owns this place, she should know we only have regular water, you know the cheapest water in the state of Washinton. "

I saw her give me that infamous glare before she spoke, "Get me an Iced Tea."

"Whatever."I shook my head before beginning to head back to get her precious princess the damn Iced Tea.

"Oh and Lee Lee."She called out with the not so innocent let's get on Leah's nerves voice.

I could feel my body shaking when I heard her call me Lee Lee. She was picking fights already and she knew it. I didn't even bother looking back at her; I just simply stayed frozen on the spot. Standing there shaking and attempting to be calm in any way possible.

"I hope you know Julliard already are accepting their letters. Daddy already got me an interview."She boasted proudly. That ticked me off even more. She was buying her way into Julliard.

"Good for you."I stated as I began to walk to the kitchen again. I was avoiding confrontation. I couldn't afford to lose my temper.

"I just wanted you to know. After all you are planning on going there too, right Lee Lee?"She asked.

I clenched my fists. I was fighting the beast inside me. I couldn't afford to become more of a freakshow much more phase right there and then.

"But, let's be honest here. You have a chance if no chance is an option."She stated as if it was the damn truth, that snobby little brat. "Your just not cut out to be like us."

I was breathing heavier, my eyes were burning and my temperature was rising. I could feel like I was on the very brink of phasing. I knew it too. One last push and I would.

"You belong here, where you have a job. Slave girls like yourself don't get out of here, you just stay here and hook up with old geezers like your mom." Maria spoke, hiting a soft spot. That was a low blow. She was definitely writing her death wish.

"Don't you dare say that about my mom."I growled angrily at her. I was beginning to not care if a Phased in front of everyone. It was getting to be too much.

"Or you could be like your dad and die trying." That was it, her final blow and punch and I cannot take it any more.

"How dare you say those things about my parents. Especially my dad. You can mess with me, say whatever you want about me but don't you ever dare say anything about my mom or my dad!"I spoke bitterly, raising my voice so much that every one in the diner heard me.

As I moved closer to her I felt everything in my body go out of control. I knew I was about to phase right there and then, but four hands instantly caught me.

"Lee please you know better." Seth begged, his voice was enough to sooth me but it wasn't enough to calm me down. I felt myself shaking, angered and very much ready to phase.

"Leah I order you to relax and not phase until I tell you to." Jacob immediately commanded. Damn Alpha had to come in and pull a fast one.

"Just breathe Lee, Breathe." Seth soothed. I was under a command, of course I had to relax.

I pulled away from Jacob and Seth. Glaring at Seth,"Shut up. I'm being commanded anyway."I glared at Jacob after.

"Aww look girls, slave girl was saved by her two rats. How incredibly charming."I heard Maria taunt. I hate her, I hate the stupid command on me too. I was feeling lucky about ripping her to shred and then running to Canada.

I rolled my eyes as her loud ringtone blasted from her phone; of course everyone else was relieved the fight was put on hold because Maria actually picked up the call.

"Jazzy. Hey babe, I thought you would never call."Maria's annoying voice sang out. Jacob, Seth and I looked at each other. But I merely rolled my eyes, mocking Maria behind her back.

"It's Jasper? Oh my gosh!"I heard Lauren squeal out.

"Can we talk to him?"Jessica added as the two crowded over Maria like two pigeons with a piece of bread.

"Sorry Jazz hold on."Maria said as she put the phone down for a moment looking at the two morons she calls her posse. "No. Now, shut up both of you."She finished as she placed the phone back to her ear. The two twits of course backed down like good puppies.

"Ok sorry about that. What were you saying? Oh yeah definitely I'd love to. I'll be there. Aw your so sweet, I love it when you talk like that. Ok bye!" Maria finished, sounding like an annoying giggling teenager. God she was annoying as hell. If it wasn't for Jacobs command I would be dancing over her torn apart body sacrificing her to the Greek and Roman Gods. Maybe then they'll give me a better life.

"Well looks like Jasper wants to see me this morning. It might be because he's asking me to the winter ball."She said as she placed the phone in her pocket. A content yet evil smile on her lips.

"That is great!"Lauren beamed happily.

"Like super awesome so much better than awesome."Jessica added like the idiot she was. I felt bad for the girl, I really did. No matter how much I hated her a part of me felt sorry for her.

"I know." Maria said as she rose from her seat,"Well I'm going now." She added before beginning to head out the door.

Jake, Seth and I watched as the two twits follow her right out but before they got to the door, Maria turned on her heel to look at Lauren and Jessica. An eyebrow raised as she looked at them with disgust.

"What are you doing?" She asked them before she laughed that ever so wicked laugh,"Oh no no, You don't understand. I am going now. Not you two."She corrected.

Lauren and Jessica had that confused look on their face, you know the really dumb 'uh duh' look.

"But how are we getting to school?"Lauren asked, obviously she would ask. Jessica looked like she was still dazed and confused.

"You have two legs use them. If not you can try to combine your airheads together. Maybe you'll fly to school."Maria finished before walking out the door, waving at the two girls. "See ya."She called out, and she was gone.

"Wait! Maria!"Lauren called out but no use. I looked out the window to see Maria's precious car pull out of the lot. I was relieved she was gone, maybe she could be the leeches breakfast. Sounds good to me.

"So how are we getting to school Lauren?"I heard Jessica ask, which made my attention move back to the Paris and Nicole wannabes. They stood in silence looking at each other before they looked at me. Oh no.

"Lee-Ah! You heard what happened. You and your friends get to drive us to school."Lauren proclaimed in the most ordering commanding tone. I looked at Jake and Seth before I bursted out laughing.

"You're kidding right?" I asked.

"No."The two chorused and I knew I was stuck being their driver.

"Could this day get any worse?"I mumbled.

My phone vibrated, I could see Seth roll his eyes and huff. Jacob had a smirk on his lips. Of course they knew. Who else was I texting besides him and the pack anyway? No one.

Text Message From Southern Empath

Hows your morning?

I looked at Jake and Seth before rolling my eyes. I held my phone as I headed to the back to get my things. I didn't need them picking on me about this any more than they already were. It was annoying.

I let out a sigh as I quickly wrote out a reply,

Really really bad. I almost lost my temper if I wasn't ordered to relax I would've. Weird I know. Lol.

As I sent the text I took off my apron and place it on the hook. Next, I grabbed my bag and slung it over my shoulders. My phone vibrated again, new text.

Text Message From Southern Empath

No, not in any way strange. I want to hear your laugh. When can we meet?

I felt my heart drop. Good God, I was going to have a heart attack. He wanted to meet me, was I ready to meet him? Was he ready for the real me? I felt frozen as I thought about it.

I wrote my reply before slipping my cell phone into my backpack. I headed out the door and back into the diner. Just in time to find the Paris and Nicole wannabes being annoying as usual and Jake and Seth being annoyed.

I shook my head as I walked passed them and to the car, this was going to be one hell of a long drive to school.


JASPER POV

I was convinced Alice had made up her mind to confuse me of the events she has seen. Just this morning she had mysteriously disappeared, and when she returned she claimed to have gone hunting. Her eyes did glimmer with its butterscotch tone, but she avoided every single question about her disappearance. Only Edward knew, and Nicholas possibly. However as she avoided all of those her eyes burned on myself. She told me to make a phone call to Maria, insisting Maria meets me in school.

I wondered why exactly this was necessary; none of us would be going to class. After all we would sparkle like a thousand diamonds once the sunlight hits our very being. Alice pleaded I do it; she said it was for the sake of someone. Someone that I in the future would care for needed me to make this call. I could only shake my head but her pleading got to the best of me and I complied.

I pondered why this call was made. Someone I would care for in the future was not in need of saving. She was the sort of girl that fell on her own category. One that would rather save herself than wait in a tower helpless. Regardless, I made the call. Insisting I meet Maria at school. I even made a few remarks that made it believable.

My mind was focused on other things, things that I kept questioning and dwelling on. Specifically this person on the other end of the line. The person writing out replies that touch my heart. I couldn't help but wonder how things would be once we meet. Will she accept me? Will she be trustworthy enough like how Bella was with our secret?

Edward had only spoken to me about my current state of questioning, when my mind was consumed in thoughts of the woman that had captured not only my heart but my soul. It was unavoidable how I felt for her. My endless life had new meaning because of her. Edward, Alice and Nicholas knew how much she meant to me yet they kept her identity a secret. I was attuned to everyone's emotions so that I could find her, but I have yet to find a match.

The sun was shining bright above our humble abode. This was a day we all spent in the dark. All the while, Emmett plays with his video games. Rosalie watches, Alice does online shopping. Esme and Carlisle escape to the library. Bella, Nessie and Edward confide with one another in the piano room. Nicholas creates a new painting and I, sit in the comforts of my room. I had picked up several books prior to retiring to my room. It was only a few books; I have read them countless times. They were classic, memorable to say the least.

But my mind was glued to the thoughts of her. I had texted her in the morning, a pleasant greeting. An hour later I had asked her how her day was so far. I had grown attached to her; she felt like my comfort zone in this cold and dark world. When she responded with something unknown to me, Emmett was the one who responded saying; "It means laugh out loud. Get with the new age Jasper!"

I wanted to hear her laugh, I wanted to see her smile, I wanted to see her. With that I sent a simple question of when she would come to terms and meet me. She had taken a while to respond that I even doubted she would want to meet with someone like myself.

I had began to read The Great Gatsby. I was about midway the first chapter when my phone had vibrated.

A smile graced my face as I read the text. My heart, if it so could beat, could've skipped a beat. I re-read the text once more before finding contentment with her simple answer.

Text Message From The Hidden Harpy

Soon.


Pixies Note: Ah that was a lengthy chapter no? I hope that wasn't too much! I wanted to give you guys a look into what the three witches are and also build a somewhat thing between Maria and Jasper. Also I tried to get that whole sun thing in the story because I mean, Forks does have sunny days SOMETIMES. So yeah hope that worked.

Finally something! We're getting close to their meeting folks! VERY VERY close. ;D

I finally got a new beta. :) authenticvanityaffair is her ff username. She just recently joined; she is also the girl who I am basing Leah off of.

We will have a lot of reference pictures posted on her profile soon or here actually. Scratch that, my lovely beta has done it again and surprised me by uploading them on photobucket and creating links to the images. Here are the links of reference: (We will also be putting these links on her profile.)Remove spaces and change the (dot) with an actual .

Leah is based off my friend and new beta. She isn't Native American I know, though she could pass as someone with heritage of a Native American. Again, she isn't exactly how I pictured Leah but she reminds me of how Leah is physically and personality wise. She'll hate me for saying all this stuff about her and probably find ways to torture me later, but she reminds me of how Leah is going to be in this story. The way she looks and dresses. And she has the sensitive fragile aspect, the strong quick-witted smart mouth feminist side, and ofcourse the normal teenager who gushes over romance all of which are parts of Leah's personality.

Do not and I repeat, Do not say anything bad about her. She is doing me a favor by being my beta and agreeing to show her picture on here as a reference to you all. Please keep your negative comments about her to yourself. :] Or else Pixie will torture you in every way possible.

As for Movie news, Leah and Seth are being casted as we speak. Native Americans and First Nations actors are being looked for the parts. Vanessa Hudgens, Brenda Song and many others have been rumored to audition but none of them are Native American therefore, the role has not been given to them. I seriously think that Vanessa Hudgens will do a poor job being Leah. After all I don't see her as Leah at all. She did say,"I'm not the shirt and jeans kind of person. I love fashion." So I'm sure she isn't the type to play Leah. In all honesty I hope they find someone better suited for the role. :]

Also I hope no one was offended with my Jonas Brothers thing. It's the latest frenzy amongst teenagers besides Twilight so I decided to take a stab at the Jonas Brothers for the sake of this story. Sorry if I offended anyone!

The Poll for who should be Leah's date is still open. Be sure to vote. I want to know your opinions. My beta and I are working hard on figuring out the last few details of the actual meeting/dance. We found everything from what Leah will be wearing and what Jasper will be wearing to where the dance will be held and a few other surprises. There will be reference pictures as well. :]

Again, I'm super sorry I was late updating. I couldn't update yesterday since I wanted to run the chapter through my beta first and that took quite awhile. xD Anyhow, the next chapter is being worked on and I can guarantee you will love it! It has plenty of JasperxLeah fluff. It's totally getting to the point where I myself am sitting here like a fan girl! Squealing at the cuteness of it all. Especially what I have started for the meeting. It is absolutely amazing! Great fluff stuff in the works.

Ok so no more ranting. :]

Be Sure To Review since you all know I love those. Especially from my ghostly readers. :]

-Strange dinging noise-

Thehiddenharpy: God for a human author you sure write a lot. Way too much talking. And people are horrible. They need to Review more. I swear 9 reviews really? You people can do better than that. I mean there are about 100 or more of you who read this story might as well write a review.

Almightyalphapup: You did. On Chapter 15 it says I joined a chat.

Uniqueimperfection: that's not anytime soon Jake.

Thehiddenharpy: I want people to review the story so I'm using Jake against them. If they don't review this story I'm going to make them squirm. I'll burn all of the mushy bull the human author wrote of me and emo leech. Review it dammit.
