Title- Run Baby Run
Author- taylorxxoo2
Summary- Pessimism usually doesn't work for everyone, but for those "lucky" few it does. Leah Clearwater was fed up with living as the vampires "guard dog party" and decides to leave La Push. As she heads north on an unplanned run away trail, she seeks refugee in the Canadian Rockies. Feeling safe and free in and around the small reservoir of Morley, Leah tries to forget about her past shadows she left in La Push. What she doesn't know, though, is that there is something, or things, that are running in the woods of Morley, things that baffle both Leah and themselves. Read to find out.
Chapter 9- You're all I have without you I drown (Part of Me)
"Josh what happened?" Kara ran out to me with clothing for both Leah and I. Kara was really the only one of us that didn't care about seeing each other naked.
"Nothing," I said, grabbing the clothes and dressing into mine. Kara looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"Something happened Josh, or else your face wouldn't be stained with tears." I winced and wiped at my face. "Josh just tell me."
"Okay well me and Leah were… together and Giovanna came and got a little mad and jumped at Leah. Leah was fasted and phased but still didn't get away unhurt. Giovanna left a mark on her leg." I paused not really wanting to tell Kara the rest. She looked at me and made a movement that meant she wanted to hear the rest. I continued, "And when Leah phased her alpha was there and commanded Leah to go back to La Push tomorrow night."
"I'm sorry Josh," Kara whispered. I smiled and shook my head.
"Kara it'll be fine. I think."
"I don't think it will be," Kara said, still keeping her voice quiet. Feeling the truth in her words I nodded.
LEAH POV
THE FIGHT
A gasp turned to a growl, a growl into a fight, a fight into a defeat.
After Kara and Jesse took Giovanna away, I limped over to a grassy area and fell to the ground. Voices were flying in my head.
Leah are you okay, Seth whimpered. I could tell he wished he were with me so he could've protected me.
I'm fine Seth. It's already healing, I said looking down at the bite on my leg.
Now that was something I wish I could've seen in person, Embry said, more to himself then anyone else.
Embry, Seth can you leave. I would like to talk to Leah alone, Jake said, his voice layered with alpha command. One after another Seth and Embry left my mind.
Leah? Jake whispered, Where are you?
You should know, I said back.
You're with Josh's pack aren't you?
So what if I am?
They are dangerous Leah.
So are we Jacob. And in my opinion I think I'm much safer with Josh then with you. I felt Jacob flinch at my words.
Leah were you ever attacked by one of your brothers? Jacob asked, his voice the voice of a know it all.
Jake, this is a pack full of girls, do you expect there to be no bitch fights?
Leah that's not what I'm saying.
Giovanna is just a kid; we made mistakes when we were kids. And to tell you the truth, if I saw the guy I love kissing some other girl I would freak to.
You were what? Jacob said, his voice louder than before.
I was kissing Josh. What is that like some huge crime or something. It's not like you never kissed anyone.
Leah, this Josh fellow isn't safe.
The hell he is! You don't even know him Jacob, I was yelling.
And do you? His words were like a slap to the face.
I'm leaving, I said and was about to phase back.
Stop, Jake said, his voice full of command. You are coming home tomorrow. And don't even try to get out of it, because I'll be coming to get you.
Is that a command, I asked as the pressure of the command pushed me until I felt pain.
Why yes it is. See you tomorrow Leah, and Jacob faded away.
At first I didn't phase back and instead stayed laying down, feeling the pain of the command at full force. Josh walked up to me, still in coyote form and tapped me with his nose. I looked at him and wondered what he saw when he looked into my eyes.
Leah? I heard someone say in my mind. I winced, not wanting to hear anything the pack had to say. Instead of replying I phased back and fell down into a fetal position.
JOSH POV
BACK TO THE PRESENT
"Thanks for the clothes Josh," Leah said after she got dressed. Just looking at Leah, or even just hearing her voice, I felt as though she was stealing my heart and pushing it deeper and deeper into her chest.
"No problem Leah. Even though I would much rather look at you with out clothes on." I winked at Leah and she blushed.
"I have to question this imprint thing Josh, because it seems like you would rather sleep with me then just be with me." My smiled faded and I shook my head.
"Leah I'm a guy. Even though you are my imprint I do have a sex drive. But no I never want to leave you, even while I'm sleeping." I winked at Leah again and she shook her head.
THE NEXT DAY
After I woke up I ran down the stairs to see Leah sitting at the table with her face in her hands. No one else was up yet. I could feel the knife stabbing me again as I noticed Leah was crying.
"Leah what's wrong?" I asked her, putting my arms around her shoulders.
"I don't want to leave Josh," She said looking up at me. I bit my bottom lip and caught a tear that was falling from her eye.
"I don't want you to leave either Leah. Maybe we can try and find a way to escape this command." Leah shook her head as another sob broke through her.
"Jacob is coming up here to make sure I come home, he doesn't think I'm safe here."
"Well maybe we can…"
"I know what you're going to say. You probably could change Jacob's mind if he was coming alone but I highly doubt that. Since he's been spending every waking moment at the Cullen's house, he's practically turning into a bloodsucker himself. He's probably going to bring some type of reinforcement with him."
"He's not going to bring a vampire with him is he?"
"Probably. The demon is probably coming with him along with it's parents and a wolf or two. I don't see why he would do it, but he will."
"I'm sorry Leah. If I could do something, I would."
"You are doing something Josh. You're making me feel like people actually do care about me. You're making me feel loved."
"Leah it'll be…" at that someone knocked at the door and I already knew who it was.
LEAH POV
As the door tapped I got up with Josh to go answer it. I knew Jacob would be standing there as I opened the door.
As Josh slowly opened the door the smell hit me. I pushed Josh out of the way and looked though the crack of the door. Carlisle stood there, a smile on his face.
"Hello Leah it's nice to see you again," Carlisle said happily as I opened the door.
"Where's Jacob?" I asked in a rude tone.
"He couldn't come, he had to stay with Nessie. He sent Jasper, Alice, Seth and me instead." Of course he couldn't leave the love of his life, but he could force me to leave the only person who loved me.
"Why did he send so many?' I asked, lacing my fingers into Josh's.
"Well he didn't think it would be safe to only send a few…"
"Ah he's scared of little coyotes then huh?" Josh said, faking a smile.
"Oh hello, you must be Josh. To tell you the truth I can't even tell you are different than any human I have met. No smell and you're not very big either…" Carlisle drifted off, looking Josh over with a curious eye.
"Carlisle can you please leave me and Josh alone for a second," I said, feeling my eyes filling with tears.
"Of course Leah, and don't worry about you bag, we already have all your belongings. All we need is you. Take your time." I nodded to Carlisle as he walked away and then I shut the door.
At first neither Josh or me said anything, we couldn't. It might have been because I couldn't look away from his eyes, or it might have been because I could form no words to say goodbye.
"Josh?" I said after awhile. He smiled and took my hand. I continued, "Josh, if you really did imprint on me, then your going to be in pain when I leave."
"I know Leah. Just thinking about it brings me pain. But I'm strong and it's not like I'll never see you again," Josh squeezed my hand as he said this.
"But what if you don't Josh, what if I can never get away from La Push again?"
"Then I'll come get you. If the pain is bad enough I will not hesitate."
"Well why can't you just come with me now Josh?" A lone tear fell down my face.
"You know I want to, but I'm the alpha, I have a duty here." I nodded. Of course he couldn't leave, he couldn't abandon his pack, unlike me.
"Well I guess this is goodbye then," I said, closing my eyes, so he couldn't see the tears that were forming.
"Leah, goodbyes are like the rain, they don't last forever," Josh whispered and pulled me into a hug. That's when I started to sob.
JOSH POV
I knew my heart was tearing apart as Leah pulled herself out of my arms. I knew it felt like I was on fire as she got into a car with a bunch of people I didn't know. I knew my life was like a piece of paper that had just came out of a paper shredder and then thrown in the fire… but I also knew that life would be okay… maybe.
A/N- Hope you enjoyed the ninth chapter of Run Baby Run. Sorry about the depressiony stuff at the end, that's what you get when you write a sad chapter… and when so many people are depressed now a days. So I think you should all review about what you think is going to happen in part 3. Will Leah and Josh ever see each other again, or will some horrible tragedy occur. Or maybe, just maybe, it was all a dream and Leah never even met Josh. Or maybe the vampire that killed Adeline will come back but this time kills someone else. BUMBUMBUMBAAAAA the suspense!!!! Please if you liked this please press down the little purpley button that says review! And also while you're doing that, add this story and myself to your favorites and alerts!!! So weirdly I'm reading the last Harry Potter. I have never read the other one, but I've seen all the movies. And now cause I read it before bed Voldemort is ALWAYS in my dreams. Speaking of dreams last night Jon and Kate plus eight told me Twilight was real and that the world was going to blow up because of it. Carlisle's great great grandfather was a priest and his great grandfather was a pillow maker. O.o weird dream or what. And also in my dreams Voldemort like trailers and making bombs out of bleach…. REVIEW!!
