I don't own twilight

Chapter 10: Trouble Brewing
(Leah's POV)

Since that fateful night, I haven't had the courage to visit Seth in his dreams. I'm scared, but I knew that this was for the best. We are enemies and one day, he may even be the one to kill me. But I won't get killed, no; I won't let Jasper suffer after he had finally met me, his mate; his imprint. He had been alone for over a century. When I first met him, I knew in my heart that he wouldn't hurt me or betray me; he just couldn't.

I am happy that I met the Cullens. They gave me the life that I should have had, and I am repaying them by protecting them from being seen by the Volturi. I knew once they find out about me that they will try to separate me from my family and my mate. If I deny them, then they might try to dispose of me. Yes, this is for the best.

We have been going to school as if nothing happened, but it seems that Swan girl has been looking at us like a frightened animal. Hah, it seems that our dear Jakey has finally told her she was his imprint.

We just smirked at her whenever we felt that she was watching us. Hah, what can a human do to us? Okay, that was over the top. After all, I was once a human too. I am only 2 years old in vampire years.

Time skip to 1 week later…

Jasper and I, along with the rest of the family, were relaxing in the living room. Jasper, Mark and Emmet were playing computer games, while Carlisle and Esme were cuddling on the couch together, and Alice and Edward were playing Chess. Well, if I was a human, it wouldn't really be called 'playing' since they haven't even moved an inch. They have been just staring at the chess pieces until one of them says that they lost and to try again. Rose and I were painting our nails; since I was done painting hers, she was doing mine. After getting our nails done we talked about the latest fashion.

I was suddenly jolted by a vision…

"What! Good God, if I knew this was coming I would have killed that stupid human!" I shouted, suddenly, alerting my family in the process.

Jasper came to my side to calm me down.

"What's wrong, Darlin'?" Jasper asked while embracing me. I hugged him back, telling him that I was okay before I answered him.

"It seems that the Swan girl got caught by a nomad named James. She was on the shifters territory." I sighed. "The shifters ended up killing James and his mate saw what happened. She is now extremely angry and left hell bent on revenge. It appears that she is trying to create a newborn army to destroy the shifters and the human." I told them and let out another sigh.

"That human is nothing but trouble." Rose grumbled while the rest nodded their agreement.

"What are we going to do?" asked Edward in exasperation.

"We will see how this will turn out." Carlisle said shrugging.

"Do you want to see what the shifters are planning? I can bring you guys with me and they won't notice us at all."

They nodded and closed my eyes concentrating while I used my ability.

We weren't in the living room anymore. We were in the room where the council has their meetings. Everyone was here, even that human. I sighed and rolled my eyes shaking my head in disbelief.

Jasper suddenly hugged me, sensing my discomfort. I smiled up at him and kissed his lips in appreciation. My family gave me encouraging smiles, showing their support. I returned their smiles before turning our attention to the shifters.

"What are we going to do? There have been many vampires spotted coming and going out of Bella's house." Jake asked while hugging Bella close to him. I would have gagged if I weren't a vampire since vampires don't gag.

"We have no choice. We need to ask the Cullen's for their help." Billy concluded.

There were those that protested, because they knew that if they got our help that they would have to face me and they didn't know how they would do that.

I sighed again, realizing that I have been sighing a lot lately. Especially since my old family has been brought in to my life again against my wishes.

"We don't have a choice. They can help us and the more, the merrier. We should go to the boundary line to tell them of this. It is for the best." Old Quil resigned and the rest nodded their heads in agreement and defeat.

I pulled my gift back and we were back in our living room discussing on what we should do.

"My dear, is it alright with you if we help them?" Carlisle asked me hesitantly. I appreciated that he took my feelings in to account first before deciding on a course of action.

Everyone looked at me, but before I could say anything, Rose stood up angrily.

"Why should we help them? They were the ones who hurt Leah, and they have the nerve to ask us for help?" She growled with her hands at her side, fists clenched. Mark, Alice, Emmet, Edward and Jasper mumbled their agreements.

"That may be so, but it is the right thing to do and we will let Leah decide. We won't force her in to any position that will cause her hurt or discomfort." Esme replied calmly while Carlisle nodded his head as he agreed with his wife.

"I'll agree to this, but I have conditions that they must agree to. If they will not abide by these conditions, then we won't help them." I told them after some thought.

They knew me the best and the only reason that I was agreeing to this was because I didn't want Seth to die. He is still my brother after all, so they seemed to understand and silently agreed with me.

"What are the conditions, my dear?" Carlisle asked.

"First, none of them are to come near me. Second, they are not to cause trouble for any of you." They seemed to agree with me and their eyes softened when I mentioned my second condition.

I smiled at them gratefully and waited for the shifters to arrive at the treaty line.
