Who gives GCSE to year 9's? Anyway I hope this makes up for it action next chapter which should be up in next couple of days.

Chapter 14

I was sitting on the beach with Leah leaning up against my arm. I felt her shiver so I opened my arms and she sat in between my legs and snuggled into my chest. I also took of my jacket and placed it on her front. I leaned forward and kissed her head.

"I love how you're so warm."

I smiled and tightened my arms around her.

"It's to do with being a wolf."

"Can you tell me about it? And your history not the one my mother made up whenever I ask."

I nodded against her shoulder, I felt her lean her head against mine.

"I'll tell you the legend along with what I say ok? Shape-shifters, also misleadingly called werewolves, are descended from the ancient Spirit Warriors of our Quileute tribe. Back then, warriors/chiefs could leave their bodies and wander as spirits, blow fierce winds, communicate with animals, and hear each other's thoughts.

The legend goes that one spirit warrior, Utlapa, wanted to use this power to enslave neighbouring tribes, the Hohs and the Makah's. Unwilling to use the warriors' powers for such monstrous purposes, his chief, Taha Aki banished him from the tribe. One day, the chief left his body in a hiding place to sweep through the valley in his spirit form, searching the area for anything that may pose a threat to the tribe. Utlapa followed him and possessed his body, then cut his own body' throat to prevent Taha Aki's return. The chief wandered for a while in spirit form, watching the thief do unspeakable things on his people. One day, the chief's spirit found a large, beautiful wolf in the woods. Though jealous of the wolf's physical form, an idea came to him. He asked the wolf to share his body for him, and the wolf agreed. Rushing back to the village as the wolf, he met a party of warriors, and he tried to make himself known by yelping Quileute songs. One of the warriors, an elderly man named Yut, realized that the wolf was under a spirit's control, and, disobeying the userper Utlapa's orders not to enter the spirit world, left his body to talk to the beast. The false chief, alarmed at Yut entering the spirit world as he feared that his treachery would be revealed, killed the warrior. Taka Aki became enraged, and lunged forward intending to kill the man; his emotions were too much for the wolf, and it transformed into a magnificent human, the glorious flesh interpretation of Taha Aki's flawless spirit. The false chief was killed, and things were rapidly set right. Taha Aki sired many children, and found out that his sons, at the age of manhood, could transform into wolves as well.

That is how the wolves came to be. The whole pack is made of the great - to however many degrees – grandsons or granddaughters of that original wolf, Taha Aki."

She looked up at me and smiled encouraging me to carry on.

"Vampires are our mortal enemies. We are created to destroy them so to do this in our wolf forms; we can run extremely fast, exceeding speeds of 100 miles per hour. Our speed in human form is four times as fast as an average human. In human form our strength is enhanced and we could crush bones without trying. But in wolf form is literally limitless."

"Werewolves have a body temperature of about 108°F. Vampires' temperatures are lower than humans'; it is possible that the wolves' and vampires' physiological differences reflect the tension between our two clans.

This high temperature allows us wolves to withstand very cold weather and makes it difficult for them to become overheated. It also makes it very difficult for vampires to harm us in combat, due to vampires being extremely sensitive to high temperatures, which is an advantage to us."

"The transformation can happen at any time, and isn't dependent upon a full moon. In young werewolves, the change is involuntary, since they have not yet learned to control it. Phasing often occurs due to a loss of temper, and Paul is known to be the most volatile pack member, erupting into his wolf form at the slightest provocation. The effects of this sort of transformation are shown in the relationship between Sam and Emily, and the disfiguring injuries she suffered when he lost control near her. Transformation or "phasing" is a sudden and violent process. The initial transformation seems to be triggered by anger. For some people it is easier. For me it is easy because I have had years to control it but it also has the do with ancestry, Jacob finds it easy too."

"Phasing appears only when vampires are in the neighbourhood and the tribe is in need of protection. There's no exact age... it just builds and builds and then suddenly—" It appears to occur roughly when a boy reaches manhood, and is certainly accompanied by a sudden growth spurt lasting for about two months. Or it is when a girl reaches puberty not always though because I changed when I was 20. But it normally has something to do with anger."

"Last but not least our senses; our sense of smell is so adjusted to help us identify our one enemy, vampire. It is not clear whether it is heightened in other circumstances, but we certainly know vampires at a distance, finding their smell sickly sweet and repellent. Our eyes are extremely sharp and can see very far. Jared is known to have the best sight in the pack. We all have excellent hearing even in their human forms. I think that's all for now."

I didn't want to bring up the imprint just yet. We sat in silence for a while, when I just remembered about our mind link.

"We also in our wolf forms can hear each other's thoughts so we have no secrets. Have you got any questions Lee Lee?"

She turned in my lap so I could see her beautiful face I saw a little bit of pain in her eyes and I stroked her cheek, wondering what was wrong.

"What's wrong babe?"

She closed her eyes and breathed in then opened them they had determination in them.

"Sam said when he broke up with me that he just looked into Emily's eyes and knew she was the one what did he mean?"

I sighed and took Leah of my lap and placed her in front of me taking her hands. I looked into her eye and hoped she wouldn't get to angry.

"I didn't know how to tell you, also I was scared to, so let me explain one more thing wolfs do. We wolfs do this thing called imprinting. It is where we find our soul mates. We look into their eyes and its like gravities moved, that's not holding you to the earth this person is. Family, the pack, anything doesn't matter but this person, the imprint is their life they would do anything to make them happy. It hurts to be away from the imprint and we get very possessive over them and angry very easley when it comes to our imprints. Sam imprinted on Emily, Jared on Kim, Naomi on Bella and me on you... Leah."

A look of hurt swept across her face but she didn't move.

"So you only care about me because of the imprint."

I shook my head and held her head in my hands.

"No Leah I have always had a crush on you. Not when you were a kid because that's just creepy but I have. I never looked into people's eyes I didn't want to imprint because I only wanted you. I never said anything because I always felt like a cradle snatcher. I'm so old I knew your great- great- grandfather. But when I imprinted on you I realised that it didn't matter as long as you were happy I didn't mind."

She Smiled and lent forward and kissed me on the lips.

"What's your history?"

So I spent the next hour explaining to Leah my history, while enjoying holding her against my body. I nestled her neck. I sighed and kissed her neck she moaned and moved her neck to the side to let me carry on. I smiled and made one last kiss. I looked up and looked over the sea I looked down at the girl in my arms and lifted her chin up to look in her eyes.

"I love you."

Tears came to her eyes as she moved closer and kissed my lips.

"I Love you too."

-B&L-

I was holding Leah's hand as I walked through the door into Billy's house. As soon as we had gotten out of the rain, and into the warm house of Billy's. I felt a body smash into mine, I looked down and smiled as I saw Naomi. I heard a growl and turned my head to look at Leah who looked angry at the girl in my arms, I chuckled.

"Leah, meet Naomi. Naomi, meet Leah."

Leah's anger disappeared instantly and she looked guilty. She was about to apologize but Naomi just laughed and hugged her then walked into the living room. I took Leah's hand and walked into the living room and sat down pulling her onto my lap. I wrapped my arms and interlinked our fingers on her stomach; I rested my head on her shoulder and kissed her neck.

"Bella, we were thinking about having a bon fire this Friday."

I looked over at Sam; I pursed my lips and nodded.

"Go for it, who's on patrol?"

"Jacob and Jared were not letting him patrol on his own."

I nodded and looked at Ellie and Naomi who were curled up into each other starring into each other's eyes. I smiled I heard a cough and I turned to see Emily looking awkward I squeezed Leah's hand.

"I'm going shopping anyone want to come?"

I was kissing Leah up against the wall as everyone else was getting ready to go shopping. Emily, Kim, Ellie, Naomi and Leah, Are going shopping, we weren't letting the imprints go on their own, and I couldn't go so Naomi is. I tangled my tongue around hers and I pressed her further up against the wall, Leah moaned and I slammed her hands above her head as attacked her mouth.

"Are you too finished yet? I would like to leave."

I turned to my niece and stoke my tongue out.

"Cheeky git, no I'm not done. But yes you can leave be careful and text I if anything happens got it?"

"Yes Aunt Bell, calm down"

I nodded and turned to Leah dropping her hands and stroked her check, I leant forward and placed a chaste kiss on her lips. I bent over and whispered into her ear.

"Please, please just be careful. I love you."

She looked me in the eyes and smiled.

"I will, I love you too."

I smiled at her and moved back and walked her to my car which I was letting her drive only because she gave me the puppy dog look. I opened the door and helped her in. I kissed her forehead and stepped back and watched as they drove away. Why in the pit of my stomach did I feel like something was going to go wrong?
