He who haunts the attic chapter 2. Electric feel by mgmt.


Leah woke up the next morning strangely feeling like an weight had been lifted off of her chest. The night before she didn't even bother to go on petrol. After the moment that she shared with Astaire she had all but ran out of the house. She didn't even stop to really talk to Jacob. Leah ran past him and shouted back to him that she wasn't feeling well and that she'd guard the woods another night. Not wanting Seth to see the inside of her head.

She knew that he'd have questions about what had happened with her and the vampire hiding in the attic, but the problem was that it wouldn't be him asking question, it be that she had no clue on how to answer them.

She knew that she hadn't of imprinted on him because she getting get that feeling…. That feeling what Jacob, Quil, and Sam had all talked about in the past.

No she didn't get that feeling… this was a different feeling all together. 'This feeling didn't feel like gravity.. no… this feeling was more electric. More hot… almost primal'. She thought sitting up in her bed. 'and those eyes…. Blood red but beautiful. God I hate myself right now. thinking of a bloodsuckers eyes as beautiful. His shade of red remind me of Christmas. Ya know… the Christmas bulbs you hang on your three. And shit I'm not gonna lie…. He looked…. Just like…. Kurt cobian". The she wolf Jumped off of her bed and headed for her shower. She stripped off all her clothes and stepped under the water. Closing her eyes and feeling the hot water run down her back. she loved hot showers on cold mornings.

Leah didn't want to admit it to herself but she wanted to see the blond vampire again. but every time she thought about him she get a hot feeling travel up her spine. But at that moment she wasn't sure if it was just the water from the shower or not. 'it's for the best if I don't see him again. plus it's not like I need my pack mates in my head telling me that it's not like imprinted on him. which I didn't so there's no reason for me to give a damn about him anyway because in the ends he's a bloodsucking parasite who's most likely murdered hundreds upon hundreds of people. So he can just stay up in his attic for all I care…. The weirdo'. She hoped out of her shower regretting it instantly. Hating the way the cold air hit her body faster than Paul gorging himself fall of junk food. She grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her copper skinned body.

She dressed in her usually shots and crop top. Because of her blood running hot she like all the other shape shifters tried to dress as cool as possible. That's why every time somebody would see all the guys they'd be shirtless.

She opened her bedroom door and made her way down stairs for breakfast. She rounded the corner and saw her mother and brother already sitting at the table. "I honey French toast?". Her mother asked smiling. The she wolf nodded and took a seat next to her brother.

"what happened to you yesterday?". Seth asked with a mouth fall of French toast. "you just took off".

'shit what do I tell him. it isn't like I can just say I thinks I've got the hots for a leech. Just tell him your felt I'm shit. Just tell him that the smell of all the parasites made you throw up in your mouth. And you didn't want to look at them because their all ugly….. well maybe that's going a bit far. Just tell him anything it isn't like he's gonna give a shit'. "I just wasn't feeling well… I got an headache form the smell of the bloodsucker". 'see good there you go, easy. He had to of brought that'. Sue places some French toast in front of her and she took a bite.

"really you know I'm kinda become more used to it now. I think it's mainly because of Jacob being around them a lot of the time, ya know how he always smells like them now".

"well they still make me sick…. And I ain't just talking about their off milk smell". she covered her mouth with her hand because she was still chewing on her food.

"do you think their more used to out smell now to?. I mean we are around them part of the time as well".

Leah shrugged. "i hope not".

"why… why would you want them to not get used to the way we smell?". he frowned in confusion.

"because I don't like them and want them to be uncomfortable every time were around them". she told him like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"why does that not surprise me". She smiled and shook his head at his sisters unwillingness to excepted the Cullen's.

"Leah you know if you tried…".

She cut him off. "Nessie… I've been trying with Nessie because she Jake's imprint. And doctor and his wife I don't mind either. But for mow that's as far as I'm gonna go. Because in the end their all still a big bunch of bloodsucking parasite fleas who don't deserve to live on our land".

"no Leah tell us how you really feel". The younger wolf said sarcastically. He paused for a second. "why'd you stay in the attic anyway?".

It was she turn to stop. 'here we go again'. she groaned on the inside. "what do you mean". 'o good plan play stupid'. She yet again groaned to herself.

"I mean the second time I kick the ball up there you where there to toss it back down. I just thought you would have gone back down stairs or something. Or out the back door".

'no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,…. Shit… no. what do I tell him now. fuck… well little brother I was up there possible falling for a vampire who hates everybody and doesn't give a shit about anyone'. That time she made herself pause. 'falling for him… where the hell did falling from him come from. I'm not falling for him… there's no way I'm falling for him… who says I'm falling for him…. because I'm not. And I'll fight anybody who say otherwise'. She was started to get annoyed with all the questions. "what are you writing a book my god just leave it alone Seth, Jesus".

"whoa what I do?".

"your annoying!". The she wolf shot back.

"I barely said anything… I was only wondering…".

"well don't". she took another bite of her toast and turned away from him. all he could do was stare at her. sue had been watching the exchange between her oldest and her youngest. She thought though Leah and Seth would get in to these sibling fight this wasn't out of the ordinary. And her daughter was the one who always snapped first sometimes because Seth was pestering her and sometimes because she was just in an bad mood. But Sue could see by the way she was acting that something was poking into her ribs. What was happening to her was getting to her, making her super defensive. And it wasn't by the way she her tone of voice was with her brother. It was her posture that was giving her away. Once Seth had asked her why she was in the Cullen's attic for so long she automatically went rigid. She wouldn't make eye contact with him or she straighten up like a bean poll. 'a mother know'. she thought. "honey is everything okay?. are you still feeling a little sickly from yesterday?". Of course Sue knew that whatever was happening had nothing to do with her being sick.

"I'm fine". She turned her head away, once again not making eye contact with her mother either.

Just then a phone rang, it was Seth's. he picked it up and answered it. "hello".

"hey Seth". Quil voice said on the other side of the phone.

"oh hey Quil. What's going on?".

"Embry and I are heading to the movies to see the new insidious. Wanna join?. We're getting the mega popcorn with extra butter".

"yeah sure… I didn't really find the other ones scary though". The young wolf shrugged.

"this one might be different".

"yeah I guess your right".

"kay, come over to Embry's and I'll meet you guys there okay. I gotta take Claire home. She come over for breakfast… eggs, you?".

"French toast, see ya soon". He hung up. "well I'll see you guys later, I'm to the movies". He hoped out of his seat and grabbed his jacket. "bye mum". He kissed her cheek. "bye… grouchy". He said walking past Leah. who in returned gave him the finger as he walked away. He slammed the door behind him.

Leah went back to eating when she heard her mother sir down on the opposite side of the kitchen table. She looked up at her to see Sue giving her the look. 'oh know… not the we gotta talk look. How do I get out of his one. Grab my stomach and fake having cramps. Yeah, yeah I'll do that. she's a women she knows how painful that is….GOD DAMN IT'. Right after she came up with her cramps plan she remembered that she hadn't gotten her period in months and months. 'shit the do I do now'.

'Leah' her mother spoke.

'to late'. "Yeah mum?". She said in the middle of chewing.

"what's going on?".

"nothing".

"Leah".

"why would you think somethings going on?". Leah looked down at her French toast.

"because a mother knows".

"well nothing so I'm fine okay".

"Leah". she said softly.

The she wolf looked up.

"what's going on?".

'do I tell her about what happened…. No I couldn't do that. it isn't that I don't trust her not to say anything to anyone because I know she wouldn't. and well I guess I could tell her a little…. as long as I leave out the weird hot feeling…. And the attic…. And the whole vampire part of it….. know what I really should tell her'.

"sweetheart just tell me what's wrong. What ever it is… I'm not gonna judge you. please".

'nooo she still looking at me like the…. The way she does when she wants to get stuff out of us that would normal embarrass us. I haven't discovered a defense for this one yet'. It's nothing it really is".

"Leah". She still gave her first born the look that said 'either of us are leaving this table until I hear something'. She stared at Leah expectedly.

"fine….i…I may have meet somebody". She looked down again, not wanting to see whatever look was on her mother's face.

Sue straighten up, with an shocked expression glued onto her face. "really". Was all she could say.

"yeah really". Leah felt awkward. After Leah had lost Sam she and Sue never spoke about boys since. After he had left her for Emily, at even the mention of boys Leah would shut down. She couldn't even talk about them without thinking about her ex….. and the way she had been humiliated by him. when he dumped her to be with her cousin, they become the talk of the Rez. Leah had never felt more humiliated in her life with the way people would point at her when they thought she wasn't looking. Or the way she'd turned to looked at someone only to notice that they'd quickly looked away. See knew that they were talking about her, but she's hold her head up and walked straight past them as best she could.

"well who is he?... would it be somebody I know?". sue rested her head on her hand watching her daughter.

"no mum you wouldn't know him". she shook her head.

"so…. Where did you meet him?... does he live on the Rez?".

"umm no he doesn't… live on the Rez that is".

"and where'd you meet him?. in town or…?".

"it doesn't matter where I him". she looked down again.

'okay so she doesn't want to tell me… well that's fine I can work with that. next question'. Sue said to herself.

"do you know where he's from. Assuming he's not from around here?".

"England…. He's from England. But I don't know what part though". She said taking another bite of toast.

Sue's eyes widen in surprise. "England well that's interesting. Very surprising I didn't expect you to say he was from England. We don't get many of those around these parts". Both women chuckled.

"what's he like… if I'm aloud to asked?". Sue smirked.

"if I said no would that have stopped you?". Leah smirked back to her.

"no".

"he's.. he's…reserved". Leah wasn't sure how to put it. She was only alone with the man for a few moments. And though she had had gotten a pretty good sense of who he was just from those couple of minutes she didn't want to just make some assumption's about him.

"reserved?".

"yeah… he's every quiet, keeps to himself, dry sense of humor, loves being alone. Ya know… one of those guys. But he's really okay with it ya know. he doesn't feel like he misses out on anything if he doesn't take part in it. He's just fine with the way things are". Leah hadn't realized that she hadn't stopped talking. And she also hadn't realized the way her mother was looking at her. "he doesn't care what happens as long as he can live drama free…. Wouldn't that be nice… a drama free life. No vampires, no wolfs, no creepy kids hybrids running about…. No creepy Romanians running around. And absolutely no imprinting…. Be nice wouldn't it". Leah was more talking in to space now. but once she was done she had snapped out of It and finally noticed the way Sue was watching her. "what?".

"nothing honey…. It's just nice seeing you this way".

Leah looked down again, al of a suddenly feel uncomfortable.

"when did you meet him?".

There was another long pause."…. Yesterday afternoon actually".

"okay".

The she wolf let of a breath of air that Sue hadn't of noticed. 'well at last she didn't question when I could of meet him. being as I was either home or at the Cullen's all yesterday. I've already told her all I can without giving him away to be a bloodsucker. And I know that she'd be happy for me…. Heck she is already happy for me. But I just don't think she'd be ready to hare that quit yet. And honestly I'm not ready to tell her that yet'.

"well….". sue got up form the kitchen table. "I gotta to go over to Charlies. We were gonna go out for then day. then I told him that I'd make us dinner tonight. then were gonna go see a movie. I heard the new insidious is good".

"really… I didn't think they were that scary… Seth almost shit himself the little sissy".

"be nicer to your brother… and really you didn't fine them at scary.. hmm ". she nodded and headed for the door. Within minutes she was gone, on her way to her other half's place.

Leah got up and put her plat in the sink. "what am I mean tot do now". she asked herself. "well I guess I could go over to the Cullen's to see how Jake is doing…. I'm not going to see him. because I don't need to see him because…he's gross". She made her way up to her room but stopped in the middle of the hallway and looked in the mirror hanging up in the wall. "you have no need to see him… you Leah clearwater.. don't need any stress or gross things lurking around in your life. Every time you think about him you feel stressed out and you don't deserve that. you been though too much stress before… your done now. and anyway…. It isn't like your in love with the guy. Your not gonna lie to yourself..". she pointed to herself in the mirror. "maybe…. Just maybe… he isn't ugly… like at all. Maybe he just maybe… the hottest dude slash vampire.. 'even though saying that makes me sick'. I ever seen. But you don't need him. it was just one of those things…that's all. Now the only reason your going to the leech hotel is because you need to talk to Jake… and that's the only reason…. Not him". and with that she walked into her room slammed the door and put on something else to ware.


Astaire in the attic.

Astaire was sitting on the little pull out couch that was crammed into the corner of the Cullen's attic, reading a old book form one of bookshelf's they have up there. But every time he'd finish a page his mind would go straight to yesterday…. Meeting her.

'that stupid mutt why did she have to come up there…. This was my attic first. I feel like my space… my sanctuary away from every one of those gits down there. And now I feel like… like…. Bugger it. Violating….. the bitch violated me and now I can't stop thinking about her. what right did she have just coming up there and talking to me like we were best mates. Why did she believe that I even wanted to have a chat with her?. I just wanted her to go away'. He placed his book down and wondered over to the window. He saw his reflection in it and stared at himself thinking about how much Leah annoyed him. 'righto I won't lie…. She… she wasn't ugly…. Not even a little bit. And yes she may have had a exotic beauty that isn't easy to find'. He shut his eyes and without realizing it started to sway gently back and forth, back and forth. 'With her long eye lashes and her glossy black shoulder length hair. And that skin that copper smooth skin that you could just bite…'. And that's he snapped out of it.

'piss it… I started to fantasize about the she wolf again… damn me…. And damn her. this it all her fault anyway. If she hadn't have come up here then….. well I've already gone through this so there's no need to do that again'. he closed his blood red eyes and groaned at how pathetic he thought he was at this moment. "she's like a broken record playing…. She just keeps going around in my head playing that same annoying song over and over and over again'.

"Astaire". He heard his friend call from the stairs that led up to the attic.

"right Carlisle still here". he called back. the doctor then was standing in the middle of the small room. Where the tracker had been staying.

"just cheeking in, making sure you have everything you need". He gave Astaire a friendly smile.

"cheers Carlisle but I'm right". He turned back to the window.

"Astaire why don't you come down stairs with everybody else. You haven't meet any of them yet… I think it be nice for you. their not all bad… I think you may actually like some of them".

"I'd rather just stick up here thanks". He said without looking back at the doctor.

"well just humor me then and think about it…. It isn't like…".

"isn't like it's gonna kill me". This time the tracker smirked and turned to look at Carlisle.

The doctor chuckled. "actually I was gonna say it isn't like their gonna want to hug you". this time they both chuckled.

"well then I'll leave you alone to your business then". He went over to the attic stairs when Astaire called him back.

"Carlisle". He said.

"yes Astaire". The doctor was a little surprised that that the tracker still wanted to talk to him. he was never one for more then a few words when it came to conversation.

He didn't talk for a few moments not knowing how to start this. "Carlisle… how did you know…. when you found your mate?".

"when I found Esme". He asked in disbelieve. 'why is it asking me about this. And why now. it isn't like there are many single lady's around here for him to mate with. Let's see there the nomad Mary an then theirs Maggie. But there's no chance in hell Siobhan and Liam would ever let that happen. Maggie is the closest thing they have to a daughter. So that meant they were very protective over her. then that only left Zafrina and Senna… and I know that either of them are interested in mating with Astaire. So why all of a suddenly is he asking about this?. What could of brought this on?. well I need to find out… I have to know why… I mean…. It's Astaire'. "Astaire why would asked that?". he said softly.

"I was just wondering… what does it feel like when you find your mate?".

"how do you mean?".

"just… what does it feel like when you see her for the first time. do you feel electric all over when you first saw Esme?. Or did you feel happy or sick or did you not feel anything at all?".

"well…". The doctor thought about the first time seeing his now wife. He had already become an immortal at this point and was working in an hospital. She was sixteen and came in with an broken leg. She had been climbing a tree and had fallen out of it. He was the one who had treated her. and as the years went by he's think abut her. he'd think about her smile and the way she'd laugh. And her eyes she had the most lovely eyes. And then a long time later there was an emergency at the hospital. A woman had come in who had attempted to commit suicide.

It was Esme.

It was the girl who he'd think about over the year. But she wasn't a girl anymore…. She was a woman now.

She had jumped off of a cliff. Devastated by a horrible miscarriage she had, had a few weeks before. It turns out she had gotten married to a young man her parents had introduced her too. But after the loss of her son she had began to become more and more depressed. Right up until she couldn't take living on this earth without her baby.

"well…. I felt something when I meet her. I thought about her many, many times over the years. Where ever I want she was always in the back of my mind". He took a step ford. "Astaire…. Do you feel this way about somebody?". Asked with caution.

The tracker didn't say anything and just continued to stare out of the attic window. 'damn'. He thought.

After a few minutes the doctor decided that Astaire silence was his way of saying yes. He then figure that Astaire more than likely had some kind of realization and that he should leave him alone for a while. "Astaire I'm gonna go back down stairs okay. I'll come back later to cheek in again". he was over by the stairs in seconds. He started to make his way down the ladder when he stopped. "Astaire what ever your going though…. I'll be here". he then left the attic.

Leavening the tracker there staring out of the window. 'great oh bloody perfect. A wolf mate…a wolf being a vampires mate. fan fucking tastic. What the blooming hell am I meant to do about this shit'.
