Vamps
Josh POV (Right after Leah left the room)
"What's wrong with her?"
"It's nothing." I was worried I had upset her. Sam seemed to care about her a lot and if I could get her on my side then surely I could have some kind of relationship with Sam.
"So what do you need?"
"Well my ex-wife is kinda suing for custody of John and well I can't really afford a good lawyer." I had thought Leah was the mother of both kids and that was why they were engaged. It seems they live a far more complicated life than I had first suspected.
"No problem. I don't normally take on these kinds of cases but I'm sure I can do it."
"Thanks." It was awkward, but I couldn't blame Sam, I was an idiot for leaving. I heard a howl and it sounded like it was right next to the house.
"Are those werewolves?" Sam froze.
"How- How'd you know?"
"I grew up with those legends and my dad was a shifter."
"Oh." He was still stunned. Another piercing howl was heard; it snapped Sam out of it. It was then that I noticed Leah in the room, she ran over to Sam, whispering something in his ear.
"Bring the kids to La Push; I'll make sure someone's following you." Leah nodded and ran off, I assumed to call for her kids.
"I want you to go with Leah." Sam said to me, he sounded just like an alpha, which was strange, unless something happened to the first in command, which would be Black's kid.
"Alex is going to bring the kids." Leah said entering the room. Sam quickly pulled her into a hug and whispered something in her ear which made her hold him tighter. "I better not have to go to the hospital again." She said trying to sound demanding but it came across more like she was scared to death.
"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me, just make sure you and the kids are okay." he kissed her passionately on the lips. I remember when I had that with Rebecca, when I couldn't stand to be away from her, when I worried about her constantly.
The front door opened and a man carrying a kid and a carrier walked in. I recognized the two as my grandkids.
"What's going on?" the man questioned.
"I don't really know, Jacob's calling a meeting." Sam said rushed. Leah grabbed the kids, leading them to the living room. "Leah's going to take the kids to La Push, I want two wolves tailing them." Sam commanded.
"Jarred and Andrew can do it."
"Josh, you should go with Leah." Sam said turning to me.
"Wouldn't it be safer to stay here?"
"No, our scents all over here. Ya'll need to go somewhere we are protecting but where the scent it fainter."
"Why does it matter about our scent?" Leah asked walking in the room. The man and Sam exchanged a look.
"We think the vampires might be looking for the kids." Sam said quietly.
"What!?" Leah whispered/screamed, probably trying not to freak out the kids. "And why am I just finding out about this?"
"I didn't want you to worry." Sam was not meeting her eyes.
"You don't want me to worry about a coven of vampires trying to get my kids!" I didn't know her very well but I could tell by the two men's behavior that you don't mess with Leah when she's mad.
"I wouldn't let them anywhere near the kids, so there's no reason to worry." Leah just spun around going back into the living room. Sam and the man followed after her.
"I'm Alex by the way." He said holding out his hand.
"Josh." I shook his hand. We walked into the living room to see Leah holding her kids and Sam trying to comfort her. There was another howl, this time closer.
"I have to go." Sam said standing "And so do you." Leah got up, her face hardening.
"Rory, we are going to grandma's for a while." The little girl nodded, she was trying to be so strong but I think everyone could see she was scared. Sam ushered everyone outside. The kids were buckled in the back. Leah went to get in.
"Don't I get a hug?" Sam asked teasing.
"You can get one when you pick us up." She said a tear falling down her cheek.
"I'll be fine, I promise." He pulled her into a hug.
"Don't make promises you can't keep." She whispered.
"I won't." Leah smiled and got in the car. I followed getting into the passenger seat. She pulled out of the drive way quickly, driving faster than the speed limit. Her knuckles were white because of how hard she must have been gripping the steering wheel.
"They'll be okay." I tried to comfort her.
"How would you know." she snapped looking mad. I saw a dark black wolf running along the woods, so did Leah. She smiled slightly, a few other wolves appeared. I never realized how big they got. I figured the black one was Sam for two reasons. One he acted like the alpha so I assumed he would be the biggest. And two, Leah relaxed a lot when she saw him.
They followed us all the way to the La Push border/
"Where are they going?" it was the first thing I had said all car ride.
"They have to go to the fight." She said stiffly, I could tell she cared about all of the wolves, not just Sam. I just nodded, looking out the window, nothing had changed. I decided to try to strike up a conversation with Leah since she seemed to be in a good mood and I really wanted to stop reminiscing.
"Is Sam the alpha?"
"Of one of the packs."
"Huh?" there was only supposed to be one pack in La Push, unless she was referring to the Makah pack.
"The true alpha didn't want to be in charge so Sam stepped up. Then Jake didn't want to do what Sam wanted so he broke away and created his own pack." I could tell there was more to the story but I could also see this was as much as I would get.
Leah pulled into a very familiar house, it used to be mine. She got out and grabbed the kids from the back.
"You coming?" I nodded slightly, I could barely breathe. Leah walked in like she owned the place. Becky came running into the living room, grabbing the kids in a hug.
"Are you guys okay?" she looked them up and down making sure they were okay. She finally looked past Leah to me. When our eyes met, I'm not proud to say, but my stomach flipped. I hadn't seen her in years yet here she was as beautiful as ever.
"Josh." She sounded shocked. She walked really slowly, cautiously. I reached out my hand to touch her but before I could she raised hers. She slapped me upside the face, hard. I smiled slightly to myself, she hasn't changed a bit. Becky walked off, Rory following right behind her. Leah gave me an apologetic smile and followed Becky. I didn't really mind, it gave me a chance to look around, look at all the pictures. I saw a lot of Leah and Sam as teenagers and kids, they had known each other their wholes lives, it made me realize just how much I have missed out on.
Leah POV
I walked into the kitchen, I couldn't help but smile, I figured Rebecca would hit him.
"God I've wanted to do that for so long." She says, I laughed.
"Grandma why'd you hit grandpa?" Rory asked innocently.
"Oh great, she's already calling him grandpa!" Becky said sounding exasperated. I gave her a warning look.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No baby, your grandma and grandpa just don't get along." I reassured her. Rory nodded and ran out the room, probably to go play with John.
"Sorry."
"It's fine, but she's excited about having an grandfather and I swear to God if you or Sam ruins this for her I will kill you." I threatened.
"I've missed this side of you." Becks said smiling; she must have realized something because her eyes light up like fireworks on the Fourth of July. "So Sam doesn't like him?" I groaned.
"He's not crazy about the idea of letting him back into his life but he is giving it a chance." Becky still had that I-Win-You-Loose smile on her face. "He is a mama's boy after all." She glared, she hated when I called Sam that, even though he so was, because she thought I was teasing him, which I kind of was. But I love that side of him, he loves his mom and he wants to protect her, there's nothing wrong with that. We walked to the living room.
"Where's Rory?" I asked when I noticed John sleeping in his car seat alone; usually Rory would be right next to him. John turned around, glancing around for her. I turned around to see the back door open. Shit! My daughter was out there somewhere while there was a coven of vampires looking for her. I ran to the back door, yelling orders over my shoulder.
"Call Sam and stay with John." I ran to the forest not even bothering to undress, I phased shredding my clothes. It took me a second to realize I was in Jakes pack.
Leah, what happened? Jacob was the first to notice me.
Rory ran off! I could hear panic coming from all of the pack.
What!
Where is she?
What happened?
Be quiet! Jacob shouted. Does Sam know?
No I told his mom to call him but I doubt he has his phone on him. I just realized this.
I'll tell him. Embry start looking west of the Uley's house, Quil look east. Leah look north. I was relived because that was the direction I think she headed. Sam's on his way. Most of the vampires are up there fighting but the fight is moving towards La Push so we need to find her fast. I didn't give him a chance to finish before I was running north, completely relying on instinct. And of course because this is my life it started raining, quickly getting rid of any chance of finding a scent. So now my daughter was not only out in the middle of a forest with a coven of dangerous vampires looking for her but now she was probably cold, wet, scared, and lost.
Leah its okay we will find her. Jacob tried to reassure me. All three packs are going to join together to help look for her.
Who's alpha? Embry asked.
I'm letting Sam take control of this one. I tuned them out, all I was thinking about was finding my daughter. Within seconds my head was filled with over twenty guys thinking and running and fighting.
What happened? Sam shouted in our heads, I could tell he was scared and worried but he was trying to show it so he just acted mad. I choose to ignore him and just kept looking.
A conversation I had with Rory popped up in my head, a conversation we had before she knew about Sam.
Flashback:
"Mommy where did you grow up?" Rory had asked.
"In La Push." I said trying to fold linens at the Inn.
"Why don't we live there? Is it a bad place?"
"No baby, it's an amazing place, but right now we have to live here."
"What's it like?"
"It's beautiful, there are a lot of beaches. But my favorite part is the woods, they stretch for miles." I said reminiscing "There was this one place next to -" I was going to say Sam's place but I stopped myself, "Becky's house. There was a clearing in the woods and me and my friend would go and sit there for hours just talking."
"I wanna go!" Rory shouted.
"I'll take you sometime." I said hoping I could.
End of Flashback
I know where she is. I said more to myself.
Where? Everyone shouted.
The clearing. Sam was the only one who knew what I was talking about, he was the only person who went there with me. We were almost there when we smelt it, vampires, and they were close. I ran faster, by this point I was already so far ahead of everyone, even Sam. I reached the clearing and found Rory huddled under a tree. I felt a wave of relief wash over me, but it was gone just as fast as it came. I looked five feet behind her, my eyes locked with bright crimson ones.
