Chapter 12

Anger is one letter short of danger.

She gracefully made her way to Leah, coming way too close for Leah's liking.

"Get out of my face before I rip you to pieces." Leah spat at the very pale, model like girl.

"No need to get your panties in a bunch Leah." She smirked.

"Listen Isabella, I have no time to deal with your shit." She said angrily and continued walking.

"It's Bella," She automatically corrected "and it's not like I enjoy this any more than you." She muttered under her breath, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Leah.

"I came here to warn you." She said seriously.

"Who the fuck do you think you are, coming up in my face and 'warning' me?!" Leah yelled harshly.

"Stay away from Jacob." She continues, ignoring Leah and cutting straight to the point.

Leah's frame started shaking, her vision turned red.

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Leah yelled.

"You think I'm stupid?" She demanded. "I've seen the way he looks at you, how he doesn't really pay any attention to me anymore, and the way his bond with my daughter is loosening." She said; her frame still.

"I'm not going to sit back and watch you ruin my daughter's future. You're not going to take him away from me, from us." She announced firmly, as her glare burned holes into Leah's forehead.

Leah took a deep breath, controlling her anger - if Isabella wouldn't listen to her when she was angry, than she thought it would work if she took a calmer approach to making her understand, even if internally she felt like ripping her into pieces.

"You know what Isabella, the world does not revolve around you, and Jacob is NOT in love with you anymore. He's NOT yours, he never was." She said calmly.

Leah started walking away - it was true, Isabella never wanted Jacob, he gave and gave and she never took, now that he didn't want her in the same way anymore Leah knew it would drive her crazy. She was so used to everything being about her that she never cared about Jacob, or even about her daughter.

"BECAUSE OF YOU!" Isabella yelled as she once again appeared in front of Leah.

"I never did anything," Leah argued "You had your chance, and you blew it when you picked Edward."

"I need Jacob in my life." She whispered.

"Why!?" Leah boomed. "You have everything; you have your husband, you have a child, you have the money, the cars, the clothes, but most importantly you have a family. You don't need Jacob, you never did, but you're too selfish to realize this." Leah snapped; it was time for someone to make Isabella see that she couldn't have her cake and eat it too.

"My daughter needs him... so back off." She snarled. She was willing to use anything to keep Jacob away from Leah.

"Have you ever taken the time to even think about your daughter?" Leah laughed "Because to me all I ever hear from you is 'I need Edward...' 'I need Jacob...' 'I want to be a vampire...' you're so self centred that you don't even realize about Nessie's future." Leah said, watching Isabella's face dwell in confusion.

"Don't you care that your daughter won't be able to go out on dates? To meet new guys? To break up, and fall in love the right way? To be able to make her own choices?" Leah asked.

"Jacob's always going to be the right choice." Isabella said firmly.

"For who?" Leah asked "You or Nessie?"

Leah looked into her cold gold-ish red eyes; she saw the anger burning in them, the way her fist clenched to her sides. They were both still and quiet, then Leah, having nothing more to say, started walking away.

She didn't see it coming and in an instant she was banged against a tree, the impact not only breaking the tree in half, but breaking her spine also.

Leah's head was throbbing with pain, her back aching, werewolves were strong, but when it came to new born vampires they didn't really stand a chance alone.

She lay on the cool wet mud as Isabella came walking towards her.

Slowly, when she was nearer, she kneeled down, leaning her head near Leah's ear.

"No one can take him away." She said coldly, tilting her head up a little to look into Leah's clouded hazel eyes.

Leah so desperately wanted to tell her off, that Jacob didn't want her, that she was a fool if she thought he would let Isabella hurt her like this. At least she hoped that Jacob wouldn't want her to get hurt.

Isabella leaned her head down near her ear again.

"Not even you." She whispered, as she leaned into the crop of her neck, she took a deep breath; the smell of wet dog disgusted her but the adrenaline made everything else seem grey as she brought her lips to her burning skin. She let her lips linger and finally whispered:

"I'm going to make sure of that." And slowly she opened her mouth, her pearly white teeth sunk into Leah's warm flesh, as Isabella relished her poison.
