LEAH

I woke up to an empty bed, it was snowing outside, just a remainder that tomorrow the Italian Vampires would be here, tomorrow I would be running away from my home. I looked down at the beautiful ring on my left finger a testament of the love I felt for Embry, I wanted him to be mine forever, but I was being stripped of that dream.

My hand instinctively grazed over my swollen belly, the product of our intense love for one another. I was sacrificing all my hopes, dreams, and happiness for Bella, and I was okay with that, I would hate myself if I didn't help her, I would love and protect Renesmee as if she was my own child.

The vibration of my phone woke me from my silent thoughts; I looked at the caller I.D. and answered immediately.

"Hey Bells" I told her.

"Hey Leah, I am just calling to let you know that Edward and I are already on our way to our campsite"

"Is he around?" I asked I knew Bella would have never called me to simply tell me that she was on her way to the location where they would be camping out to await the Volturi.

"Mhmm" she responded.

"Edward I'll be right back, I forgot something" I heard her muffled voice come from the receiver.

Within a matter of seconds, Bella was speaking rapidly into my ear, "Bella, I am not a vampire, I cannot understand you when you talk that fast!" I protested.

She took a deep breath "Leah, you are ready, right?" she asked concerned.

I paused, was I ready? Could I walk away from Embry? "Yeah" I squeaked.

She sighed "I am so sorry Lee, I know this must be so hard for you, but you are the only I can turn to right now, if there was anyone else in this world that I could trust with the life of my daughter, I swear I would not be asking you for this sacrifice" she told me in her guilt ridden voice.

Deep inside I knew she was right, I was all Bella had that was remotely close to a sister, while I grew up surrounded by girls like Emily, Rachel, and Rebecca, all of whom I loved with all my heart, Bella had never interacted much with another girl that wasn't her mother.

I was the only one she ever truly opened up too, she would shy away from Jacob's sisters and would remain glued to my hip while our fathers fished, we had shared an amazing childhood and the trust we had for each other was unbreakable.

"Embry proposed yesterday" I whispered after a long silence.

"Oh Leah, I promise, I promise that I will do whatever it takes to save Embry, I will make sure that he knows where to find you" she assured me.

I felt the heat rise up to color my cheeks "Don't be stupid Bella; Embry is not the only one I am worried about! You think that I want to leave to God knows where, while my family, the ones that I love stay behind and fight?! Bella, I am losing all of you and-" I sniffed "that hurts more than anything, running away without knowing if my brother will smile again, if I will ever kiss Embry again, and if it's the last time I'll see my best friend and sister" I cried.

Bella was silent on the other line during my breakdown my body trembled from the sobs "I am sorry, Leah" she finally spoke.

"Don't apologize Bella, I made up my mind a long time ago"

"You don't deserve this"

"Just promise me that you won't give up, promise me that you will fight" I begged.

"I promise, Leah."

"Thank you Bells"

"No thank you Lee, for everything, for helping me with Renesmee, for always being like a sister to me, and for always caring"

I smiled, "You were worth the hassle" I teased.

She sighed "Goodbye Leah" she whispered.

"Bye Bells" I said before the call died, I stared down at the phone mindlessly praying to God, that wouldn't be the last time I heard her voice.

The rest of the day dragged on Sam's pack kept passing by asking if I had heard any news about the Italian "leeches" as they called it.

Embry, Seth, Jake and new bounded Quil had been running circuits around La Push all morning. My duffel bag was packed and ready to go, after a lot of begging Jake had finally obliged about me seeking refuge back at Bella and Edward's cottage.

Bella had already informed me that the car was parked behind the cottage and the keys were in Renesmee's jewelry box, the car was already filled with our necessities which undeniably meant loads of cash.

Bella had been shielding Rosalie, Renesmee, and my thoughts from Edward. We were the only ones in on the scheme, but I knew that the boys suspected something to be wrong.

At around half past three Seth and Jake finally came back, I literally jumped off the couch and wrapped my arms around them before they took another step inside the house.

"Calm down, sis, we're fine" Seth assured me while he ruffled my hair.

"I was so worried" I told them.

They both laughed "We are just running around today, Lee. All the action is going to take place tomorrow" Jake told me, a mischievous grin on his face.

My arms dropped to my side in resignation, a grimace pulling my lips down, Seth squeezed my shoulder and left to his room, leaving me alone with Jacob.

"Hey, Lee, stop that" he scolded, as he tried to pull my lips up from my frown "I don't want to see you sad, Leah"

My eyes were glued to the floor, putting all my efforts to not look at his eyes; I turned away from him and walked towards the kitchen. I could feel his heavy footsteps behind me, as his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me so that my back was pressed against his chest.

"Please Lee, it kills me to see you upset" he whispered in my ear.

I nodded, as tears began to stream down my cheek "I am being stupid" I murmured, I pulled his arms off of me and sat down at the kitchen table.

Jacob took a seat next to me, he was quiet but I could feel his intense stare upon me, he took my shaking hands in his "You know that you are being silly, right?" he told me as he began to play with the charms on my bracelet.

I yanked my hand furiously off of his grasp, what the hell was with everyone telling me I was being stupid worrying about them, just because they were super strong mythical creatures didn't mean that they couldn't be killed, I wasn't inhumane I had to care.

"You could die" I pointed out.

He smiled "It's going to take more than a few leeches here and there to kill me, Lee" he assured me as he once again took my hand, I tried to resist to his touch, but his body heat seemed to somehow relax me.

"Jacob, these leeches aren't newborns, they are the real thing. How do you expect me not to care, you could get hurt, I could lose you."

"You're only worry should be Embry" he sighed.

I glared at him "How could you say that?" I hissed.

He looked up firmly "He is your soul mate, the father of your baby; he should be the only one you worry about"

I gripped his face in my hands forcing him to look me straight in the eye "Jacob Black, how could you ever possibly think that I would not worry about you? I do not care if you think that just because Embry is my soul mate that he will be the only one in my thoughts, Jake I love you, and it kills me just as much to watch you walk away as it is to see Embry walk away"

He looked down "Look at me Jake" I ordered, he looked up his eyes pooling with tears "Do you know how hard it was for me when you left, those months were unbearable, but I knew that you would come back, but now" I hesitated, wiping away one of his tears "I don't know if you'll come back"

Jake wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight "I love you, Lee. Being away from you caused me pain too" he told me.

I gripped him tight, not wanting for the life of me to let him go "Is this it?" I asked.

He nodded "I have patrol with Seth tonight; Embry will take you to the cottage. I thought you two deserved to spend the night together"

I pulled away and giggled as I wiped away the lone tears of his cheeks "You were always the hopeless romantic" I teased.

A howl broke through the trees, signaling the changing of shifts. Jake stood up reluctantly and walked towards the back porch, Seth came stumbling in stopping right in the hall way.

Jake bent down and stroked my cheek "I know you and Bella are planning something, just promise me you'll be careful"

I nodded "I promise"

He took my hand and kissed my wrist right above my bracelet "Thicker than blood" he muttered.

I kissed his cheek and hugged him tight before he left, I was already crying like a baby as I turned around to face a bawling Seth.

He walked up to me and didn't say a word as I was engulfed in yet another hug "Love you sis"

I planted many kisses on his head, before returning my love; he followed Jacob to the woods, disappearing as well.

I was left alone on the back porch awaiting Embry to emerge, it was only a couple of minutes before his silhouette emerged from the within the forest.

My body couldn't resist being away from him any longer; I ran to him and threw myself on top of him, he stumbled a little due to my weight, but as soon as he regained composure, he wrapped his arms securely around me.

His face was buried in my chest, sending butterflies all over my stomach. "I missed you" he sighed as we made our way into the house.

The sun was setting as he carried me into my room, I could feel his desire as nibbled on my neck. He pinned me against the wall, as his lips traveled up and down my neck and chest. My nails dug into his flesh, he moaned as he placed me on the bed.

I could feel every inch of his body pressed against mine as our clothes was taken off and thrown across the room.

My legs were straddling his waist as his lips finally found mine; my legs were pushing him tighter against me, deepening the kiss. If I was going to be granted time with Embry I wanted to spend it like this, I wanted to show him just how much I loved him.

I could feel his need for me too as our kiss grew more and more passionate, I moaned as I felt his warm hand pressed against my inner thigh slowly teasing me "Em, please" I panted.

He smiled, as his hand began to massage my thigh, my legs closed as they twitched at his touch, my back arched as I felt his hand roaming closer and closer to my entrance, he was laughing his trembling body against mine not helping my need to have him completely in me.

I pressed my knee against his groin, I was getting pretty annoyed by his teasing, "Oh Lee" he moaned as my knee massaged him.

I screamed as he played his game and slipped a finger in me, a smirk on his face as he moved it rapidly in and out of me.

"Two can play this game" he taunted, as he kissed my breast.

I pulled his hair, causing his face to be inches away from mine "Don't play with me Embry, you better be inside of me before I count to three or you are going to have to take a cold shower."

He laughed "One."

His fingers increased speed "Two."

More speed "AH!! THREE" I screamed as he slid in me so fast I barely felt it coming.

I wrapped my legs tighter around his waist as he grunted pushing himself deeper in me.

The stars were shining outside; I laid my head on Embry's chest, his even breathing being the only thing to relax from all the anxiety in my body.

"I love you so much Leah" Embry murmured as his eyes fluttered open.

I pushed myself up so that I was on top of him, our faces inches apart, his breath was blowing into my face leaving me completely dazed "I love you Embry" I told him as I planted a gentle kisses on his lips.

He placed his hand on my lower back and pressed me tighter to his body "We have to go" he murmured as he kissed the crook of my neck.

"I don't want to go, I want to stay forever in this moment" I told him as I tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear.

"Me, too babe"

xXx

After an amazing shower together we got dressed quickly; I grabbed my duffel bag and took Embry's hand as we left my house. He phased right in front of me, nudity obviously not being an issue for us, I climbed on his back he barked once and then began to run.

The wind wept across my face, but I couldn't help the tranquility that ran through my body as Embry began to run faster.

Tonight I was running with my love, and tomorrow I would be running away from him.

Fate definitely had an unconditional hatred towards me.
