Quote of the day: Liam: Have you guys done something like this before? Teen Wolf- I am a complete fan :)
Stiles: Something dangerous or something idiotic?
Kira: The it's yes to both.
Scott: You don't have to do be part of it if you don't want to.
Liam: I'm not scared.
Stiles: Well then you're borderline idiotic.
Chapter 26
BPOV
"Morning Bella." Leah said as she walked through the kitchen door. I had woken up before Sue this time, so I got straight to work preparing breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage and taste and, for Harry, fruit.
"Morning Leah, breakfast?" I asked not turning my back from the shove.
"Yes please, I'm starving." Leah took a seat at the kitchen table, along with Harry and Sue who were also waiting patiently for their food.
I laughed and filled four plates with food before disturbing them out on the table. As I did my elbow brushed against Leah's upper arm. If I was so used to the temperature I would have jumped in surprise, Leah was as hot as a furnace. Literally speaking.
Without speaking I lifted my hand to her forehead and gasped. It was beginning. Leah was going to phase.
"What?" She asked through I mouthful of eggs.
"Leah Clearwater, don't talk with you mouthful." Sue scolded, which result Leah in swallowing her food and giving Sue a 'sorry mom'.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter." I replied to Leah's question. I would have to tell Sam about this or, I glanced at Harry who gave Leah a worried, fearful look, Harry could tell him. I could try getting Leah to talk to Sam or Emily again. Then at least there won't be any bitterness in the pack when she phases.
I wonder if Seth is showing signs of phasing? I heard the Seth phased from surprise after Leah phased, so he may or may not.
Breakfast continued as normal and it was a few hours later that Seth got up. He always slept the latest on weekends.
When he got to the kitchen, he quickly filled his plate with eggs, bacon and sausage. Not bothering for toast but he also picked up a couple of pieces of sliced fruit.
He sat door in the only spare seat, next to mind, and gave a lazy 'G'morning' which everyone at the table replied to. It was when he was shoveling food into his mouth that I covertly grazed my upper arm against him. He was so occupied with eating he didn't even notice the subtle touch.
I sighed in relief when I found that his skin didn't feel burning hot. He wasn't going to phase yet but he will eventually. It is just a matter of time until the gene activates with the newborn army on its way.
After breakfast, I went upstairs to grab my phone and as I was walking out of my room Leah was walking into hers.
"Hey." I called, waving my hand slightly.
Leah stood in her doorway, her body now turned toward me. "Hey."
"Do you mind if I come in for a bit." I asked indicating inside her bedroom.
"Sure, come on in." She said and stepped out of the doorway.
Leah's room was filled with neutral colours. It suited her. The curtains were chocolate brown. The walls were a creamy mocha colour. Around the room there were many pictures of her friends and family- even one of me- and some tribal things like dream catchers and wolf symbols. Like I said, it was very Leah.
"So what do you want to say?" Leah asked breaking through my thoughts.
What did I want to say? That was the question. There was no nice way of saying what I needed to, at least not without making her angry with me and sending her into a rage of cusses. So I decided to bite the bullet and tell her out straight. "I think you should talk to Sam and Emily."
"What!" She exclaimed. "Why on earth would you say that?" I winced as her voice got louder. This wasn't good, I forgot that my opinion might also play a part in her phasing.
"It's just that I know you miss Emily. I mean, she was your best friend, so there is no point in denying it. And I know you hate how things with you and Sam ended. He didn't give you a clean break and that just made your breakup that little bit worse." I reasoned speaking as fast as I can.
"That does mean that I will see them. What's done is done, it's too late now." Leah shouted.
"No! It isn't." I shouted back, matching her anger. I didn't care if this forced her to phase. She had to listen to me for both her sake and the packs. "Your hurting and I know it. Your just to stubborn to see past you hate of the betrayal."
"I am not stubborn."
"Yes, you are! Now think about it. When a relationship ends, what hurts more is not the end of it, but the way you behave like strangers with the person whom you once thought you can't live without. But you don't have to be strangers. You are better than that Leah Clearwater." I said firmly.
Leah sighed and fell back on to her bed. "But I don't know how?" She told me.
"Well you have to figure that one out on your own."
"Why do you know so much?" Leah question as she propt herself up with her elbow, looking at me.
"You're not the only one to go through I tough breakup. About half the girl population is probably going through something similar to you. You ask yourself why weren't you good enough, am I right?" At Leah's silence nod I smiled slightly. "Have you ever though that maybe he wasn't good enough for you? If you are always clutching on to the past, then how are you going to see the future."
I stood up and walked towards the door. As I grasped the handle I looked back at Leah. She now lay on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling. She had a lot to think about. "Somewhere out there, there is the perfect person for you. He will complement you in every way." And with that I left.
"Bella." Alice cheered and pulled me into the Cullen house. I sigh, her 'sight' doesn't even allow me to knock on the door.
"Alice, why don't you give Bella some room." Carlisle chuckled. Then smiled softly when Esme entered the room and walked to his side.
"Bella, it is nice to see you. Are you coming with us?" Esme asked.
"Of-"
"No, she isn't." Edward interrupted.
"I've been twice now, why can't I?" I turned to Edward was folded my arms, effectively creating a barrier between us.
"Because it is dangerous. The wolves can't be trusted." I snorted, it was the same argument over and over again. I'm not a weak kitten and nor did I want to be treated as such.
"I am going." I stressed the words. "I don't need protecting. I have seen what happens when you become too over bearing, Edward. Besides I am safe with them, just as I am safe with you guys." Edward opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. "If you dare tell me they are dangerous aren't you being hypocritical. Like the pot calling the kettle black."
Edward sighed in defeat. "Okay, fine."
"Good." I smiled.
"So what happened when I became over bearing, as you put it?" Edward asked smirking as if whatever I did was something close to a child having a tantrum.
I returned his smile as I said, "I jumped on the back of Jacobs motorcycle, skipped school and hung out at La Push for the entire day." Edwards smile fell.
"Okay, let's go!" Alice spoke/screamed. It depended on how you look at it; screaming when she was excited was as normal a speaking for her and Alice got excited a lot and very easily.
Ten minutes later we were standing face to face with the La Push pack.
"Hey guys." I say hesitantly.
Jacob walks slightly closer to me but Sam growls his warning. I guess they still don't trust me. I turn to Alice who smiles reassuringly at me.
"Welcome." Carlisle says. "Let's practice."
I sat leaning against a tree and watched as Emmett tackled Jasper, Edward shoved Carlisle into the ground, Alice swiftly dodged Rosalie's hits. The wolves also watched as intently as me however they were never willing to join in. They only watched.
After practice, I walked over to Sam, who was in wolf form, and asked. "Have you heard about Leah?" His giant wolf head nodded, telling me that Harry must have told him. "For now, just watch her from a distance, please. It's just one of those things, she has to come to you." I wasn't sure if I was making any sense but Sam seemed to understand as he nodded his head once more. "Than you."
Hours flew by quickly and it was not long until I was back at the Clearwater's house.
"How was your day?" Sue asked kindly.
"Good, and yours?" I countered.
"Busy." Sue sighed. "Lots of people came to the medical centre today. It looks like a bug is going around."
"Oh, is it anything bad?"
"No." She shook head head as if to emphasise her point. "Just the usual flew like symptoms and-"
Sue was cut off by the sharp sound of the phone ringing.
She walked over to the white, chunky house phone and asked, "Hello?"
"Oh, yes. Mrs Walker/ how can I help you?"
I felt my body tense and my back straighten. Why would the social worker be calling now?
"Bella." Sue said, holding out the phone. "It's for you."
Walking over, I took the phone and cradled it to my ear. "Hello?" I asked hesitantly, not sure if I want to hear what Louise had to say.
"Hello, Bella. This is Louise walker with social services. I am calling because we have found your mother, Renee Dwyer formally Renee Swan." The woman's business like tone sound did through the phone.
"Oh." Was all I could say.
Does this mean I have to go back to Phoenix? What was I going to to? Would Renee let me stay here? Even worst, what if Renee isn't the person I remember her to be from both the dream and before?
Please, review.
