i don't own twilight.

hey people I'm back.

please comment on the chapter and listen to the songs.

enjoy and happy readings :).

also please note that I do have dyslexia. I'm not ashamed of it because it is something I cannot control but I am self-conscious about it. so a lot of my words are miss pelt and many, many of the sentience's are a little back to front. I can't tell you the amount of time I've gone to reread something that I have wrote but couldn't even understand what I was trying to say.

He who haunts the attic chapter 7. Love fool by the cardigans.

"LEAH CLEARWATER".

'oh shit'.

Sue Clearwater was standing in the middle of the kitchen door way tapping her foot. She looked furious. "do you know how many hours we waiting for you. I wanted to call Charlie so he could organize man hurt. The only reason I hadn't is because Jacob changed my mind and said he and the packs would go find you and bring to you to me".

She ran over to her daughter an drought her in to an born crushing hug. "so come on… out with it… where were you?". she still looked angry.

The she wolf didn't know how to answer. She couldn't just her he mum that she had lost her virginity that night…. To an bloodsucker and that's where she saw… doing it with a leech.

"I'm waiting….. Seth told me you went for a walk….. is that true".

"yes… yes… a walk. I want for a walk".

Sue stared at her daughter. "… and?...".

"I thought that maybe if I went for a walk… I…I might feel better. But it backfired. I ended up needing to take a break because I began to feel dizzy then one thing led to another and I fell asleep….. that's all".

Sue looked at her daughter almost like she wasn't sure if she didn't know whether to believe her or not. "Leah…". she began but was cut off by her daughter.

"mum….". she stopped her. "I've been laying in the dirt and mad for the past how many hours. I'm dirty, I'm wet, I have shit in the hair, my back hurts. All I want to do is to take a long hot shower then go to bed… I'm starting to get a headache". She said the last part in an quiet voice.

Sue inhaled in annoyance. 'as much as they make my life happy and fall….. god they can annoying and make me worry. Is it honestly too much too asked for one day there I wouldn't have to worry about my children. Fear that their in some sort of fight. Fear that one of my babies are laying on the ground somewhere bleeding out…. Or dead. my worst fear. I couldn't go on if even one of my kids died. it would kill me every day. so I ask again… is it too much to ask for one day where I wouldn't have to worried'. Sue looked down for a moment then up again. but right before she was about to speak she realized something. She noticed her daughters bare legs. then she noticed the jacket that Sue knew didn't belong to Leah. now her knew that when Leah and Seth, along with all the other shape shifters would turn. That their clothes would tear off. So she could understand why she didn't have any clothes to wear on her way back to their home. But…. Where's the jacket come from. 'now where would she of gotten that?. that doesn't belong to her, I would know if it had. I wash all her and Seth clothes and that jacket I've never seen… or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she didn't phases and she really did just go out for a walk, believing that it really would make her feel a little better…. But that wouldn't explain why she isn't wearing many now'.

"Leah… where are your clothes?". Sue noticed her child stiffen.

Her eyes widen as if she had just remembered herself that she wasn't wearing anything underneath her jacket. She cheeks flushed for a moment, clearly embarrassed by the fact the her mother noticed. "umm well..".

"you did…. Leave the house with clothes on… didn't you?".

"yes mum yes I did I did have clothes on before I left the house…".

"and after?".

"I… phased". Leah wasn't completely lying to her mother. She had phased and lost her clothes when she had lost her temper with her Ex. Leah wasn't sure if she should tell her mother about the fight she had, had with Sam. Because she didn't know how to explain to her mother what happened between her and Sam without telling Sue about her new partner….. or like how Alistair put it….. mate.

"okay so you phased but…..".

The she wolf braced herself for whatever Sue was going to say.

"why didn't you take your clothes off before you changed so you'd have something to put on after you changed back?".

'shit….'. "yeah well I was going to do that but…". Leah signed. "on the way I ran in to Sam".

It was Sue's turn to brace herself. It wasn't that she wasn't on her daughter side. Because she was… she loved her child but completely throwing Sam under the bus for something he had absolutely no control over just seemed wrong. But in the end… she'd always take Leah side. Though Sam's imprint being Sue niece did make the whole thing a lot harder. Her loved her niece but Leah was her daughter. And she didn't want Leah to think that nobody was on her side when that just wasn't true. "and ran in to Sam…..". she braced herself wondering if she needed to get her needles and her stitches and head over to the uley home.

"and well….. well he started it. he wanted me to come back over to his pack after everything he did to me. And then acted like he was a victim to and I'm sick of it. when I told him that I was happy in Jacob's pack he got really upset like I said it to hurt him". Leah started to vent without realizing it. "and then when I told him that I moved on from him he took it so personally. It's like oh my god you moved on the moment you saw Emily and what?. Did you just think that I was just never gonna get over you and find somebody else. I mean how….". the she wolf stopped dead when she heard herself.

'oh no.. oh damn'. She hadn't meant to say that. letting her mother that was the last thing she wouldn't too do but needed up being the first. Leah looked up to see Sue staring at her wide eyed.

"moved on?... get over him and find somebody else?. Leah….. who. Who have you found, this is all…. This is all just so sudden. I mean….". the older women wasn't sure of what to say.

"well… when I say… moved on…". sue cut her off.

"Leah…. is he have something to do with you going for this walk?. Were you really with this….. guy?. How long has all this been going on…. I mean…. I'm happy about this….. I'm happy for you… I just didn't expect…..".

"mum I just…..". Sue phone rang. The older women kept staring at Leah though. But after about twenty seconds she grabbed her phone out of her pocket. But kept her eyes on the she wolf.

"hello….. no Seth everything fine she here now…..yes Seth she really is fine she just….. fell asleep….. Yes Seth that's what I said she fell asleep…. yes Seth like I said she is fine….. no Seth you don't need to get Doctor Cullen here… no Son really…. She fine….. okay I'll see you soon". She hung and looked away from the she wolf for a second but she looked back.

"mum…. I'm gonna go up and have that shower". She walked passed her without making eye contact. Cursing herself for even opening her month. She needed to keep her and Alistair's relationship a secret but was doing a shit job of it. she wasn't ready for anyone to know about her and a vampire. Because the very moment everybody found out about the she wolf and the bloodsucker there was gonna be a lot of unneeded drama. Too much unneeded drama that she knew that her and Alistair wouldn't want to deal with.

'Jacob I could see being happy for us….. kind of?. he'd think it was weird but he's with an vampire child….. so if you think about it I'm doing the more normal thing then he is. By being with a fully grown vampire who isn't half human. Seth might be okay with it….. or at least I think he would be. I hope he would be….. no don't think like that he would be. He's your brother, you saw the way he was when Sam left you. you saw how much he cared for you. how he was the one up with you most night, letting me cry on his shoulder while mum and dad were sleeping. If Seth could see just how happy my leech makes me…. Then maybe he could find a way to be happy for me. And the fact that Alistair is with the Cullen's would help me a little with trying to convinced him that Alistair isn't that bad. Mum…. Well mum would be uncomfortable…. But would find a way to get over it for my happiness. And though she'd a hesitant she'd try to get to know my tracker as best she could. try to be okay with this. But Sam…. Well he's most of the reason why I'm even keeping this a secret. The last thing I need is for him blowing up at me for something that is even close to having anything to do with him what's so ever. What would he even have to complain about any way. we barely see each other now. the only time we do see one another is when all the packs get to together to talk about something impotent. Or when we run in to each other like earlier today. I've spend so much of my time trying to avoid him so I could get over him. and now once he knows about me sleeping with a bloodsucker I'll never get a moment to myself. Because he'll be at the door wanting to talk about this. Or he'll be calling me every hour on the hour in the middle of the night, which would mean I'd never get any sleep. Then he'll be 'randomly' Showing up when I'm out doing the food shopping, or when I really am just going for a walk. Or don't even get me started on when I'm out with Alistair. Say if Alistair and I are out in the woods I know that Sam would find us somehow. Wanted to know why Astaire was still here and not left like all the other vampires. But the worst thing he could do was actually go to the vampire hotel itself. Wanting to talk to my tracker without me being there. Wanting to know why he would want anything to do with me and why couldn't he just mate with some other vampire. And that's another thing that I'm dreading…. Telling anyone that where matted. I know for sure that some people are gonna have a problem with that. a vampire and a wolf….. now that's something that never happened before….'. the she wolf was knocked out of her thoughts when Sue spoke again.

Leah was half way up the stairs.

"and the jacket?". Leaf froze and turned to her mother, who in turn turned back to her. "is that his?".

The she wolf stayed quiet. "mum". She took a few steps back down the stairs. "I would… really… really appreciate it if you didn't say anything to anyone. I really, really don't want anyone to know yet. I'm just….. I'm not…. not ready for all the drama that's gonna come along with it all".

"of course honey…. I won't tell a soul if it's something you don't want". The older women nodded.

"thanks mum". She turned aback around then paused. She stayed that way for a moment then span around and walked back down the stairs. And went straight up to her mother and hugged her tightly.

She pulled away then retreated back up the staircase. Leah went through her room and right in to her bathroom. Where she closed the door and turned on her shower.

At the Cullen's

The tracked sat on the roof of his friend Carlisle house alone, staring off in to the distance. The sun was just beginning to raise over the forest…. Or what looked like it could have been the sun. it was an big light grey looking blow surrounded by thick black clouds. It hadn't stopped raining since the night before so everything was still very wet. While the tracker sat on the roof it was still raining, but lightly. So he was still getting wet but he wasn't browning in it. he barley paid any attention to it. how could he?.

He couldn't go inside because of Edward being in there, and he didn't need the mind reader knowing what was in his head. he didn't know the mind reader that well but from what he heard from Leah. 'my mate'. He thought to himself. that Edward kept nothing from his wife. And Alistair knew how much Leah didn't like the mind readers wife. He didn't want to upset her by having two people she didn't like knowing about the two of them. but they weren't the only ones who the tracker wanted to avoid. He knew that Carlisle and Esme wanted to talk to him about what has happen earlier. There were only a few people Alistair like in this world. "Carlisle and his wife… and Leah…. and that's about it". he thought again.

He didn't want to lie to them…. he didn't want to tell them the truth either but they were his only choices. But he did know that if he were to lie to them that they would understand why and forgive him. they were just those kinds of people.

Plus the other reason he had no intentions of going down stairs was because he knew that all those other vampires down there were curious to know why he had freaked out on them yesterday. He didn't want to look at any of them. knowing that at any moment one of them could decide to asked him about it. 'if someone were to it would more than likely be Garrett… or one of them pesky Romanians. And also knowing them they'd want to asked then in front of the whole house. The tracker could practicality hear the awkward stillness throughout the house. As the rest of them waited for me to say something. What would I tell them?. that I just got annoyed at all if them and hated them?... actually yes. I would say that. well that's one problem fixed. Now that I know my cover story….. it all kind of seems a little easier. If she didn't want to keep us a secret them I wouldn't care if anyone knew. I wouldn't talk to any of them about us though because of it being our blooming business and I hated all of them….. I know that I've already said that, and I'm gonna continue saying it as well. Just so that we are all on the same page. I truly, truly don't give a fuck about what others think about me. It's one of them many perks of not liking anyone…. You don't care about their feelings. And if you don't care about theirs feeling…. Then you can't care about what they think about you. but…. If she wants to keep us just as the two of us then I'm fine with that to. I'd bugger off with her if she ever wanted to run off together. Away from the rest of the world where nobody could find us. heck if that's what she wanted I would find us the biggest, most heaviest rock on the planet we could live under. Where we'd really be alone. We couldn't be found…. And we couldn't bothered'. The tracker heard a noise from the forest and on instinct moved further away from the egad of the roof. So that nobody could see him from the ground.

He knew who it was before they came out of the woods.

It was the wolfs.

He didn't know why they were here but hoped that they were here to talk to Carlisle about something other than vampires. 'she wouldn't of told anyone about us without telling me….. would she?. No…. she wouldn't. like I said before, I'd be fine with it if she wanted to tell others about us….. I'd just like to be notified first. Told that a gang… no… two gangs. Of shape shifting were wolfs may or may not be coming after me….. that's something you have to tell a fella beforehand'.

He moved even further away with that last thought and tried to listen to what was being said on the ground. He could heard Carlisle and Esme stepped out of their front door. he also knew that a couple of the others vampires had come out side as well. More than likely to see what was going on…. or in the case of Benjamin just because he was fascinated with the shape shifters. But Alistair knew that unlike Benjamin, Amun would be in the back of the house with his mate, hiding from the were wolfs. Alistair also knew that the Irish coven and the Amazonian coven would in inside as well. It was obvious to the tracker that the Irish coven was completely uncomfortable with being anywhere close to the wolfs. The nomads like Randell and Mary more than likely wouldn't be outside either. He couldn't say he blame any of them either. 'dogs are… are…. can be savage. And how many of them do they have?. And on top of it Carlisle and Esme have forbidden us all to attack or do anything to even one of them'. Alistair thought about those few hours earlier. The she wolf, laying under him. gripping his shoulders tightly, biting her lip. then Leah on top of him. her fingers through his hair, his fingers through hers. Leah pressing down on his chest as she moved on top of him. the way her hair smelled when they just laid there afterwards. With his nose in her hair. Smelling her sweet smell of lime and coconut. Before they had matted she smelled like any other wolf, but after the pair had matted her sent had changed in to something else completely…. In to something bearable. He lay there smelling her as the rain dripped around them. 'well…. I guess I've already broken the don't do anything to even one of them rule'.

"Jacob… Sam… boys". The doctor greeted all of the wolfs….. all…. Of… the… wolfs.

'why are they all here?. Leah said that the pack had broken up and that was why there where now two separate packs instead of just the one big one. why would they all be together?. She said that the reason why they had broken up in the first place was because of that one guy Sam….. the ex…. The ex of my mate. my beautiful strong mate…. that he hurt more than once. Pull it together and just focus then what's happening now instead of Leah's ex… can you do that?... thanks'. He told himself. he shook his head then went back in his inner monologue. Well because of…. Sam…. And Leah's now Alfa Jacob had their differences. And it was better for them to break up. Which was how Leah ended up on this Jacobs pack instead of Sam's. but that doesn't explain why their all there together now. please, please, please have this be something else. Don't have anything to do with Leah and I'. the tracker listened to what they were saying.

"Carlisle…. Did need to talk". a tall man stepped ford towards the doctor and his wife. Not in an threatening way. he had all the rest, copper skin and blacked cropped hair. With a quite large tattoo on his upper arm with rounded muscles.

'well I guess that's Sam then'. The tracker thought. Remembering what Leah had told him about how big and bulkier he was.

"we might have a problem". He said again.

Alistair hated the way Sam talked, he hated the sound of his voice. though it did surprise the nomad how low the other man's voice was. Not that he thought it would be high pitched.

"Carlisle last night we went out looking for Leah….". the one who was now her new Alfa spoke. But the doctor cut Jacob off at the mention of Leah may be going missing.

"looking for Leah?... is she alright?. had something happened last night. Is that why you here?".

The tone of Carlisle's voice surprised him as well. He wouldn't go as far as saying that it was frantic…no… it was much more like worry. Worry that something may have happened to the young women who helped protect them when Bella was carrying Nessie. "does she need a doctor?. I could be over there as soon as I can…". This time Jacob cut him off

"no Carlisle… well maybe. Where not sure yet. She hasn't been feeling great in the last week or so, so I'll let you know. But thank you for offering, I'll let Seth and Sue know that your willing to help out". He nodded at the doctor.

"yes Jacob anything to help". He nodded back.

"what where here for…. is that while we were trying to find her last night we were in the woods….. and smelled a vampire". Sam cut in. "and we think it's….. one of yours".

Carlisle and Esme were taken aback. "Sam are you sure?. because we had made it pretty clear that no one was to close the treaty line".

"Well I don't know what to tell you Carlisle". Sam crossed his arms.

Alistair rolled on to his back so he was now facing the rain clouds. 'shit'. His eyes went wide.

"where are your…. Friends". It was Paul talking now. he said friends like he had a gross taste in his mouth. "where are you… friends…. Feeding?".

"Paul we promise you…. if one of our house guest ended up on your side of the line it wouldn't of been to feed…".

Esme stepped in. "it would of just been an misunderstanding. Whoever had done it wouldn't of meant to".

"Carlisle….". they both turned to Sam. "I'm not saying this to try and cause trouble….. but we need to protect the tribe. Were already going against our laws and beliefs just by turning a blind eye to all of this". He gestured with his hands to the house. Where all the vampires where in side where now by the windows. Wanting to know why the wolfs were here. "if you can't keep control of your people…".

"Sam….. I'm so very sorry for this but you don't have to do anything. Esme and I will talk to everybody again. make sure that they all know here the treaty line it okay. the last thing we want is for us to be at odds again".

"it's okay Carlisle… we all know that". Jacob shot a hard look at Sam who had his arms crossed tighter now. "we've not gonna come to odds again so you don't have to worry about that". he told the Cullen's.

"just make sure that they don't do anything. There's been enough drama in this god damn forest as it is". Said Sam.

"yeah no shit". Emmet smirked,

"if I may ask?". Esme stepped ford. "is Leah really alright?. I'm just asking because…. Well it isn't common for shape shifters to get sick. Their…. Your body heat kills most of that sickness pretty fast".

"well…. It hard to say". Jacob began but Sam stepped in.

"Leah seemed pretty okay last night when I ran in to her".

But Jacob ignored him. "all I know is from what Seth's told me. She's been in her room most of the time so I haven't really had the chance to see her. but when I do she mostly just seems tired and tells me she has a headache".

"she didn't seem to have a headache the other night". Paul smirked to himself. thinking about what he had been told about that sneaking in to her bedroom in the middle of the night. For a moment Sam stiffened, understanding what his pack mate had meant by that.

He didn't want to be selfish but he didn't want to think about what went on his her bedroom that night. Sam didn't just hate himself for hurting Leah… no. he hated himself for feeling like she shouldn't thought of him. should of thought of him before moving on with another man. Should of thought about how he would feel about it before flaunting it around the Rez. where he would be able to hear about it all the time. where he wouldn't be able to escape all the talk about the new couple… and her Ex. He didn't think he could stand going through all the looks again. when he had imprinted on Emily his brake up with Leah was the talk of the town. Everyone thought that he and Emily had cheated on Leah. which then made the Rez take sides. He felt even worse when most of the Rez were on his. and it was because of the way people viewed the way Leah had taken the brake up. Of course Leah wasn't going to take too well. He had left her for her own cousin and within a short time was engaged. It wasn't that he wanted for he and Emily to be blamed for it but he sure as hell didn't want Leah to get the blame either.

He elbowed Paul hard in the ribs. Causing the other wolf to grunt out in pain.

"Well like I said. if she gets any worse let me know and I'll be sure to help out". The doctor nodded.

"but in the mean time we'll…. We'll talk to our house guest and make sure that they know where the line is". Esme said.

The wolfs nodded. "Carlisle..". Sam said with hard eyes. "if this happens again….".

"Sam". Jacob warned. Not wanting the other Alfa too threaten his new family. Jacob never thought he canister the Cullen's his family. And if he was being completely truthful he still didn't. but Nessie was his imprint and he cared for her. so that meant he was going to be around the Cullen's a lot of his time now.

"if this happens again….. then we'll want to have and chat with the leech ourselves. So that they know that something like crossing our line will not stand".

"will do Sam". Carlisle nodded again.

"we have patrolling to do". he said before turning around. The others followed. The only own left were Jacob, Embry, and Quil.

"sorry about that Carlisle". Jacob began to walk further out of the tree line, followed by his two pack mates. "Sam still isn't….". he knew what he wanted to say… just not how to get it out. But the doctor knew what he was trying to say.

"it's okay Jacob… I know". Carlisle gave him and understanding smile.

Like her husband Esme smile at the younger wolfs as well. "why don't you boys come in side and I'll get you something to eat". She gestured for them to followed her inside.

While all this time the tracker was still hiding on the roof. He hadn't moved from looking up watching the rain clouds become even more darker. He watched as they continued to speed faster and faster to what seemed like they were coming towards him.

'I have to talk to Leah'. he knew that this was the best but most dangerous time to go…. Though it may have been his only chance. He knew that the rain would cover his tracks and scent. So that if the wolfs even got a sniff of the vampires scent they would have trouble finding him.

He closed his eyes and used his ability to figure out where they were. because of them just leaving he knew that they'd be close. So he decided to go around the other way…. but he needed to call her first. He wanted to see if she knew that they were on to him.

He grabbed his phone out and dialed.

Ring, ring, ring.

She picked up right away. "hello Alistair". She said quickly.

"Leah…. I need to meet you again".

"why has something happened?". Her voice held concern.

"Leah…. they know". he said quiet.

"who are they?...they know what?...". Leah's voice sounded panicked.

Alistair could tell that she thought he meant the other vampires in the Cullen's home. That he was talking about them knowing about the relationship between the two lonely souls. "your wolfs friends. They know that I've been on your land".

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"not me, me… by name. just that they know that there was another vampire on your land and that it was one of the ones in this house".

"fuck'. The she wolf said angrily. "don't. do. that. to. me. Again. you scared that crap out of me. Do you know what was in my head when you said that?. what could of happened to you…. you idiot". She shook her head on the other side of the phone.

He smiled at her way of caring about him. "I want to see you".

"I want to see you to".

"okay I'll come to you…".

"NO". she cut him off. "I'll fine a way to come to you". she stopped talking like she was thinking about something. "there's a waterfall… close to where we were last night. It's easy to fine, meet me there".

"okay…. be safe". He said to her. hoping that she wouldn't run in to the wolfs while out in the forest.

"you too". She hung up.

He put his phone back in his pocket and looked up at the almost black sky. "she will be the death of me". He said to himself while smiling.
