Leah's Imprint
Chapter 11
Both me and Sam had stopped cold and we were about 10 miles away from each other.
I thought you had work today?
They called in this morning saying they didn't need me today. Did you just think what I think you thought?
Yes… I was worried about his reaction. I saw now that he had no choice in choosing Emily. I wanted my two best friends back.
Leah. Meet me at the cliffs so we can talk. He kept his mind blank for the most part on the way to the cliffs. Once we got there we both phased and got dressed before walking in silence to the edge of the cliff.
It was about three minutes before he sighed and ran his hands over his face.
"Please say something." I said watching him.
Sam looked at me from behind his hands and smirked. "Do you think I'm mad at you?" I didn't say anything since I knew he would get to that point when he found out who it was. He dropped his hands and looked at me. "Leah. I want the best for you. I want you to be happy." He looked away from me then and out over the ocean. "I know I hurt you and I feel terrible about it everyday but-"
"You didn't have a choice. I get it now."
"Thank you." He put his arm around me and pulled me into his side. Something he hadn't done since we were together. It was different now. It was friendship, comfort and understanding. "So what's he like?"
" Oh. He's umm…great?" It came out sounding like a question. I was worried about his reaction when he found out who Daniel was.
"That's all I get?" I think this was the longest conversation we'd had in five years and I was about to ruin it.
Here it goes, again. " He's a freelance photographer that just recently moved here from San Francisco." I said it really fast secretly hoping he wouldn't catch it.
I looked up at his face and his eyes were huge. "You mean that outsider that moved here?" He practically spit out the words.
I shoved him away from me and started shaking. "Don't talk about him like that!"
Sam got up and stared at me. "He is an outsider Leah! He won't keep the secret, your putting the whole tribe at risk with him!" That did it and I phased.
Jumping for Sam he saw my move and phased in an instant. He met me bite for bite and scratch for scratch.
NO! This isn't what I want! I don't want to fight you Sam! I dodged a bite aimed for my left leg.
Sam stopped then and glared at me. Leah. He can't be trusted.
Yes he can! Listen….I told Sam about Daniel losing his brother. I felt bad telling such a personal story but I knew it was the only way Sam would accept him. Do you understand now? I asked when I finished the story
Yeah. But I still don't like it…
You don't have to. Can you get the council together later tonight, the imprints too?
Yeah sure.
Thanks Sam. I'm going over to his house. Get everyone together around eight o'clock . I said as I started running towards Daniels house.

What do you think of Sam's reaction?
