When I woke up I was surrounded by the familiar scent of Jacob. I knew without a doubt I must be in his room which I suppose was a step up from being locked in a cage. I was also happy to note he hadn't tied me down to keep me from leaving. That meant he trusted I wouldn't try to run or that I was some kind of threat. If he trusted me then maybe I could talk to him and get through to his sensible side. He needed to understand that even though we were on La Push land Edward would come for me and he would kill anyone who tried to keep us apart. As his mate I was his responsibility and because he was my mate as well I really would rather he didn't die which was a step up from how I felt a few weeks ago.

"I see that you are awake. I was afraid I had caused some damage or something." Jacob said as he came in to the room I now realized to be his. He had a tray of food in his head and my stomach rumbled as soon as I set eyes on the platter. "I thought you might be hungry when you woke up and I couldn't be sure if that leech was feeding you properly. I got you a little bit of each food group. I got you some milk, a blue berry croissant, a hamburger with everything on it just the way you like it with fries, and chocolate cake for dessert."

"Thanks." I mumbled sitting up and taking the tray from him. I drank my milk quickly before starting in on the croissant. Jacob knew me well enough to know not to get me a muffin. I had stopped eating them when I found out about Emily and Sam. "How long was I out and who knows what is going on?"

He sat down beside me on the bed and took a fry just like we used to do when we were kids. "You were out for a few hours maybe four at the most. I have not told anyone what is going on. You obviously do not want them to know and I wouldn't betray you like that. I am going to help you like I should have helped you all those times Sam beat on you."

I set my half eaten croissant down with a sigh. Of all the times he wanted to step up now had to be the moment he chose? Was Jacob just stupid or suicidal? "The only way you can help me is by letting me go back. It's really not as bad as I am sure you are making it out to be in your head. He has started treating me better, he doesn't beat me, and he has never raped me. He treats me a hell of a lot better than Sam ever did and his family is alright I suppose. At first I tried to escape, but now I actually want to go back Jake. When I am there I can be myself without fear of dying or watching my every word because if I upset someone with something I may say."

"Leah you have to see they have brainwashed you." He argued his eyes growing dark with emotions I could not identify. "The Leah Clearwater I know would never want to stay with a bunch of leeches. She would be right there with me as I killed them all. That girl still has to be inside of you somewhere Leah we just have to find her."

"I'm still me Jacob, but the world is not as black and white as you make it. If anyone has brainwashed someone it was Sam and the Elders brainwashing us." I paused trying to think of the right way to word what I wanted to say. "Vampires kill people and I am not saying I am okay with that because I don't condone murder. Yet what I am trying to say is that they don't have a choice. They never asked to be what they are, but they have learned to adapt and deal with the situation like we were forced to do when we phase. Also if you think about it and I have, technically when we kill a vampire we are committing murder because they were once human."

My friend sighed and rolled his eyes dramatically. "That is the brainwashing talking now Leah. You can spout all you want about them not having a choice or whatever, but I have a girl locked down in the basement that shows exactly what kind of monster they are. I'm just happy that I got to you before he found a way to turn you. Now all we have to worry about is getting these crazy ideas out of your head and then you can come back here for good where you belong. Now I have to go a catch something for Bella to eat so I will be back in a bit. You are free to roam the house if you want though you may want to stay inside since everyone is on patrol. They have been kind of nervous since the whole thing with Bella becoming a vampire."

I watched as he walked away as if he hadn't kidnapped me from my original kidnapper. Did he honestly think this would be as easy as he made it sound? Had he lost his mind while I was away? Edward would come for me with the help of his family and when they came there would be bloodshed. People I cared about and loved…on both sides would be hurt. I did not want things to turn in to a war. I had to get out and get back to Edward as soon as possible. I was actually starting to miss the weirdo if that was possible. I would have to run and I needed to do it now. It's ironic that I was running from my family and pack in to the arms of a blood sucker. It appears as if I really had fallen down the rabbit hole and in to a completely different world.

TBC…

AN: So here is the next chapter and I hope that you all liked it. There are maybe four or five chapters left, but fear not because I already have a sequel in the works! I've been planning the sequel since I started this story. Anyways, tell me what you think is going to happen next and I need to know if you want to see Edward's POV after she is taken or Jacob's POV when Leah attempts to escape.

Please R&R like always!
