Leah: "Uh… no?"
Me: "AH HA! I love it :D."

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 10- Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away. And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay (Miserable at Best-Mayday Parade)
"It's nice to have you home," Sue said, pulling me into her arms. I didn't hug her back nor did I sob into her shoulder, telling her how much I missed her.
"Sue, can I just go to my room," I said, my voice forming a slap. Sue let go of me and I walked up to my room.
I had been back in La Push for two days now. The first day I spent with the Cullens. Jacob didn't trust me to go back to La Push, even with his command working ten times more powerful than ever. There he had given me some huge lecture about the new rules he set for the pack. It was true that I had a lot to say back, but I kept my mouth shut… mostly
THE LECTURE
"Leah are you listening to me," Jacob said as the demon sat on the floor drawing a picture.
"Hmm, sorry?" I said looking up from the demon.
"Leah I said I was happy your home safe," Jacob mused.
I'm not, I though but didn't say it out loud. Just then Edward walked by and shook his head. I rolled my eyes. I knew everyone was disappointed with me, I knew everyone wanted to talk to me about it.
"Leah I need to talk to you about this," Jacob said.
I get it already.
"Well your not going to talk back are you?"
Got that right.
"Fine I'll talk you listen. Leah the only reason I brought you home was because it's not safe for you to be around those coyotes."
Brought me home? No that was Carlisle and he didn't bring me home, he dragged me by my hair.
"When I first met them, I was almost killed by them. They just don't know how to control themselves."
And you do?
"Bringing you home was the right thing to do Leah. I know you hate me for it, but if I didn't, you could've been hurt or killed."
Josh wouldn't let me die.
"And your feelings for Josh aren't healthy Leah." That's what got me.
"Not healthy Jacob? And you being in love with a freaking three year old is healthy? My feelings for Josh are normal there is nothing supernatural about them so I think that's one thing that makes them healthy!" I was standing now. Weirdly I wasn't shaking though, I was in complete control.
"Leah what's going to happen when you imprint on someone else? You will hurt Josh."
"I'm never going to imprint Jacob. You know that, Sam knows that, everyone knows that. I'm some freaky she-wolf that no one wants around. Oh wait scratch that. Someone does want me around but guess what, you took me away from him."
"Leah that's not true. The perfect guy for you is out there, you just need to wait for him…"
"Now you just sound like Sam, Jacob! What next, are you going to scar Renesme's little face? And yeah Jacob the perfect guy is out there and he is probably feeling like someone is shoving white-hot poles down his throat and into his heart. It seems like you know how to ruin two peoples lives just by doing one thing." By then I was screaming and a group of both vampires and wolves were surrounding Jacob and me. I could feel all eyes on me while I could also feel tears staining my cheeks as they rolled from my eyes.
"Leah," Jacob whispered, "you need to calm down. You don't want to lose control here."
"Fuck you," I whispered back and ran out of the house. I knew trying to leave was out of the picture. Jacob had made it so the only way I could leave anywhere was if someone like Edward or himself was with me. I made it to my little house in the trees, a new one the made so I was within Edwards listening distance, and dropped to the forest floor sobbing.
PRESENT
As I sat in my room, I picked up my things and cleaned my room slowly. Ever since my out burst at the Cullen's house, I had turned into a zombie, or better yet a robot. I did anything anyone asked but showed absolutely no emotion. I kept all my emotions locked up inside my head, so I couldn't even feel them.
JOSH POV
Josh I'm sorry I couldn't control myself, Giovanna whined as she padded behind.
Yep, I said with no emotion.
Josh please forgive me! Giovanna said speeding up in front of me.
Giovanna can't you tell that Josh can't forgive you? Jesse growled. She was nowhere near Giovanna and I so I didn't even know she was phased until she spoke.
I never said that, I snapped at Jesse, my teeth bared.
Jeeze Josh, ever since Leah left you just been a bitch to us all, Kara said walking towards me.
I haven't been a bitch that would be Giovanna. Giovanna then growled at me, baring her teeth.
This is what I mean Josh. Calm yourself for once.
Kara get back, I said between clenched teeth.
I'm not doing anything. Kara spat back crouching down.
Kara you should listen to Josh, Jesse said calmly. I could see that Jesse was running towards us now, ready to defend Kara. I wondered if Jesse would also try to spare Giovanna too.
I'm sorry Josh, Giovanna whispered. I turned to her and growled again.
Josh you should phase back, Jesse whispered, as she stood in front of both Giovanna and Kara.
No, whispered back and sprung at Jesse, teeth bared.
LATER THAT DAY
"I'm sorry Josh, but it was necessary," Kara said standing over my bed as I waited for my ribs and leg to heal.
After I attacked Jesse, Kara and Giovanna jumped in to save Jesse. Luckily Kara was there because both Giovanna and Jesse were not much fighters. Giovanna thought she could fight, but Jesse was more the peacekeeper type. Kara on the other hand was… a better fighter than me.
"Kara don't say sorry, if you didn't jump in, Jesse could be more hurt than she is." I barely got Jesse, only a small bite by her neck. It was a good thing Kara jumped in, I wasn't lying.
I didn't get why I had even jumped at Jesse in the first place. I had never attacked one of the girls, other than when Giovanna was… I stopped my thoughts there. It was hard to think of Leah, even to say her name. Each thought of her brought a new stab of pain to my heart.
"Are you hurt?" Giovanna said, walking into the room. I rolled my eyes, no shit I was, but it wasn't why she thought.
"Can't really feel my leg or ribs. They're healing anyways I'll be up and at 'em soon." I didn't mention the pain I felt though.
"Dosed you up on morphine huh?" I rolled my eyes again. When I think about it, us coyotes were pretty lucky that Kara's mom was a doctor because we couldn't just go to a regular hospital. Sure we had no increased heat, didn't look different and everything else about us is pretty much like regular humans, other than the fact that we heal… fast.
"I'm allergic to morphine Giovanna."
"Then how come you don't feel anything…?" Because I can't feel the pain of my injuries over the pain in my heart…
"Can you leave please?' I whispered.
"Josh I just want to make it right between us," Giovanna said, her eyes watering. I couldn't deal with tears.
"I don't know if that's possible." Giovanna nodded and turned to leave.
"Giovanna when you attacked Leah," I flinched when I said her name, "and pretty much expelled her to leave, well it's not forgivable. Leah was more than my friend, more than my crush. I can't explain it, because you won't understand."
"Josh I said I'm sorry…"
"Sorry doesn't always cut it Vanna. Something's just can't be fixed."
"Did you just call me Vanna?" Giovanna said, her voice free of that "on the verge of tears" tone.
"Yes."
"Why, if you hate me?'
"I don't hate you. Sure I'm not… fond of you right now, but your family to me."
"You think of me as your family?"
"Can you leave now?" I whispered and Giovanna slowly walked out of the room.
NO ONES POV
The long stretch of forest and plains lay before him. He knew exactly what it looked like even before looking down form the tallest mountain. Each time he decided to visit the west, he always took the same path to get over the mountains and with his impeccable memory he never forgot the scenery.
For some strange reason he felt that something had changed since the last time he was there. Sure it had been two years so lots had changed, but he felt a bigger change than that. Not some mortal change but something that would affect everything including himself.
Listening to the wind, he heard a fait shuffling in the distance. Using both his mind and ears he tried to see if it was human. From the sound of it, it sounded as though the thing was human. The man smiled widely and sprinted off to find the human.
Running was never hard for the man and he was good at it. Within seconds he had found the man but stopped over three football fields away from him.
"Devon my friend, we have missed you so much!" Came the high-pitched voice he knew so well.
Devon stayed quiet.
"Where is your wife, I thought you two never left each other?" Came a deeper voice.
Devon hissed and threw himself forward until he was face to face with the two young looking people.
"WHERE IS SHE!?" Devon yelled, his voice silencing the forest around them.
"Please keep your voice down. We don't want to draw attention to yourself." The girl whispered and looked around with a smirk on her face.
"Where is she?" Devon whispered this time, his face looking as though he was going to cry.
"We'll tell you after you do us a little favor." The boy said grabbing his sister's hand.
"What about the last favor I did for you?' Devon pleaded.
"You didn't finish it Devon."
"It's a suicide mission that's why. There were too many of them."
"Devon we know now. And we don't want you to kill them this time. We want you to capture one."
"Capture one?" Devon said, his voice shocked.
"Yes and after you have one, come back up here and we will make the switch," said Jane smirking still.
"A coyote for your wife," whispered Alec as Devon sped off towards the Morley reserve.
