i don't own twilight.
hi sorry this is late but here it is.
remember to leave comments and listen to the songs and tell me if it fit the chapter.
cheers thanks. :).
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 11. Crystal by Stevie nicks.
"so we've agreed". Both the tracker and the she wolf were sitting crossed legged by their waterfall. They'd both managed to sneak away from the Cullen's and the black pack so that they could spend some alone time together before everyone else found out about the two of them.
'it's only a matter of time'. the she wolf thought.
"we'll get our own place". Alistair said to her while sitting back and looking up at the sun. he didn't like the sun but at that moment sitting there along with his mate he loved it… but he still hated the sun.
Leah was long half listen to him, she had become almost entranced by the way he glittered in the sun light. Though she thought it was beautiful… and that he was even more beautiful, him glittering just didn't suit him the way it suited others vampires. She thought that maybe it was the way he always stayed within the darkness of the shadows. or the way he would give others a blank stare that said 'just shut up'. 'my tracker is a lot darker then that. I won't deny that just by the sight of him I'm absolutely utterly starstruck…. But…. He shouldn't be sparkling. He should be… he should be… okay. how do I explain this… you know when… your at like….a play. Or some sort of school thing you've been forced to go to because you have a younger sibling in it, or an friend that you want to support. And their on stage and that lights hits them and it's kinda like their glowing. Because of the dark back ground behind them and the big lights on them. well he kinda reminds me of that. it's dark and moody….. like him'.
"sorry what… I wasn't listen?".
"I said so we'd get our own place". He repeated.
"our own place". Leah smiled. "that sounds nice". She began to pick at some dandelions that were growling on the edge of the pond.
"do you believe the rest of the mutts no about us already".
"excuse me". She said sternly, raising one eye brow.
"sorry….. dogs".
"no try again". she shook her head.
"my bad love… strays".
"your doing this on purpose aren't you?".
"what makes you believe that love?". It was now his turn raise an eye brow. He look innocently at his mate.
"work it out jack ass". She lent up and snacked him in the chest. She clenched her jaw together trying not to laugh. She grinned and crawled on top of him so that now she was looking down at him. and his back was now against the damp grass.
"but really… do you think they all know by now?".
"well this morning Jacob told me that he was going over to Bella's and Edward's to see the kid. So…. yeah I'm assuming that they know at least".
"do you….".
"yes Alistair I think they've told the other bloodsuckers by now".
"oh so you didn't think that it was just them that knew".
"yeah of course I was lying about that, of course I thought Edward had told the rest of the leech house by now".
"so… I don't know the bloke that well….. do you truly believe he would?".
"he wouldn't tell all of them at once. He'd more than likely tell one person then from there it was spread".
"when did you want to go back?".
"never you". she smiled at the tracker.
"… never". He balanced himself of his elbows and pecked her lips. "let's never leave this spot".
"what do you expect us to do?". she chuckled. "dig a hole and burrow".
"no I was thinking more like I'll build us a cottage out of sticks and mud. Then put bushes and brushes around it so we'd be able to hide from the world around us".
"where no one could bother us".
"piss us off more like it but yes… where no one could bother us".
The she wolf grinned and gave him an sweet kiss. "a world where we wouldn't get bothered…. What would that be like?".
"it's wonderful love you just have to experience it for yourself. when this is over….. come away with me".
"what?". She sat up.
"Leah I've traveled on my own for years. And I wouldn't of had it any other way. I could do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it without the constant nagging of somebody else who thought my life style was…. Unconventional. But you despise and hate humanity just as much as I do".
"Alistair….. what are you…".
"I'm trying to say that…. if I was going to travel with anybody… it would be you. and not just because we've been shagging either". He smirked at the she wolf, Trying to get an slight rise out of her.
"is that your way of trying to be romantic?". She rolled off the tracker so that she would be next to the blonde. and was now herself balancing on her elbows while being face to face with him.
"is there another way?". he joked.
"no other way that I'd prefer".
The walk back.
"let's just walk in an ignore every one of them all… like usual". Alistair said holding Leah's hand, walking towards the Cullen's home.
"like that's gonna stop them from bitching about the two of us". Leah scoffed. "the moment we walk in together their all gonna think…..".
"Alistair that lucky bastard." He smirked.
"very funny". She said dryly. "But no I'm serious. We're gonna be bombarded by them wanting to know how long this has been going on".
"who cares…. We just don't answer them."
"that's your big solution?... walking passed them like they're not even here?."
"yes….. like usual". He stopped walking and turned to her. "look peach…. I don't care about people. So that's means I don't care what they think, how they think…. Or who they think about. so when we walk in to that house together it's just you and me. No one else matters…. No one else exist and I don't give a flying fuck".
"not even a little fuck?." The she wolf smirked.
"not even a itty biddy fuck". He kissed her check. "you know if ya really wanted to… I could just jump us to the attic. We wouldn't have to bump in to anyone."
Leah thought about it for a moment. "nay….. their all gonna find out sooner or later. It's better if we're in and out then that's the end of it". she retook his hand and continued to walk.
It was silence for a few minutes.
"what do you wanna do later?." The tracker asked her.
"Jacob's making us train… ya know.. just in case there's a fight.."
"I thought you knew how to fight already?."
"oh I do. it's just because of the whole imprint thing he's extra paranoid lately." She looked up at her tracker. "Which I understand. He just wants to make sure we're all on our game for when they come. His imprints on the line ya know."
"what about afterwards?."
"what are you obsessed with me or something?." She grinned lightly knocking his shoulder with hers.
"well I don't know…. I guess I kinda like ya."
"yeah we can hang out after if you want. I don't know how long it'll take though." She stopped to looked at him. "why don't you just come."
"to your training?."
"ya to the training. Could be good for the younger pups to have an actual leech there for them. get a taste of what it's gonna be like for when their in an wide open field with what… like a hundred of them".
"I don't know how educational my presents is gonna be. I rarely, rarely get in to scuffles with others let alone fall on punch ups."
"you wouldn't have to do anything. Just stand there and dodge them when they attempt to jump at you". the she wolf smirked.
"will the other pack be there?".
"no…. or at least…. I don't think so. I'll asked Jacob. I'd drought they'd be there but I'll double cheek."
They were coming up on the house now.
"this what you want?". He asked her one last time.
"yep". She said with any hesitation, walking off in the direction of the big house. As they were coming our of the tree line Bella, Jacob, and Edward were all standing out the front. "ohh great". The she wolf muttered. "sup lose lips". She said to the mind reader. knowing that he's more then likely told his wife already.
"so…. you guys ended up together". Bella grinned.
"yes Bella". Leah throw her head back and groaned. Already sick of talking to the shield. "we ended up together".
"well… your not going to believe me…. But I'm happy for you".
"whatever Bella". The she said in an snarly tone. Bella was at this point so used to the way Leah talked to her that she didn't bother getting upset anymore. She decided not to take in personal because she thought that was just the way the she wolf was towards her. long story short….. she didn't care because it didn't bother her now.
"are you guys going to go in to the house together?. Or just jump up to the attic?" Jacob asked with his arms crossed, and an smirk on his face.
"we're gonna go through the house". Leah rolled her eyes.
"really?" her Alfa raised his eye brows. "your going to go through the house… with an vampire?. You Leah Clearwater, going through the house…. with an vampire. I have to Lee I didn't expect that. I mean…. It's you".
"well I didn't expect it either". She didn't want to have this talk right now. she knew that Alistair already knew about her hatred for vampire, because she had told him. but that didn't mean she wanted him to know how much she hated them. 'I'm trying to date the man for crying out loud'.
"and your just okay with the whole world knowing about the two of you?".
"I don't care about anyone of those blokes in there so what or how they feel about us doesn't matter to me. In fact they could all die within the next few minutes and it wouldn't affect me what's so ever". The tracker said blankly, putting his arm around Leah shoulder.
"damn your morbid…. Leah…. I think you've found the one". Jacob grinned.
"ohh shut up you jackass". Leah didn't her best trying not to smirk but was failing.
"ohh and remember we have training later". He remind her.
"yeah I know Alistair gonna come to it".
The other tree froze. There was an strange silence.
"what?". She asked with her hand on her hip.
"Leah… I don't think that's the best idea". Edward said for the first time.
"why not, he's gonna be fine".
"Leah".
"Jacob". She said back.
"Leah… we're gonna be to training the young one. their gonna have a head enough time constraining as it is. Through an vampire in to the mix and….".
"I figure he could help out. He could show them what's it's like to have actual vampire there with them. Jacob we don't have long before the royal leeches get here…. it's best they get used to that smell now". she looked up at the tracker and smirked. He bumped her shoulder.
"I don't know…".
"Leah we're not just thinking about their softly we're thinking about Alistair's as well". Said the mind reader. "like you said their only young shifters. They may not know how to control what they're doing".
"and I'm gonna be right there with him the entire time aren't I".
"Leah..".
"oh my god Jacob stop ya bitching, it'll be fine".
He throw his hands up. "fine, fine do what you want".
"ohh we will".
"you". he pointed to the tracker. "you do exactly what I tell you to do okay. the last thing I need to for my beta's mate getting killed by one of the pups. So when you get there you stay out of the way until I give you the say so".
"killed by an puppy… what an embarrassing way to go". Alistair quietly muttered in to Leah's ear. Leah snickered and laced their hands together.
"I'll call you when it's time to meet up okay".
"yeah Jacob I know". she tugged on Alistair's hand and headed for the door.
Inside the house.
Holding hands the pair made there way into the door way of the living room. Pretty much of the house were in the family room chatting. Senna and Zafrina were over in the far corner, trying to keep away from the Romanians who were by the windows, snickering every time they made eye contact with the two women. Benjamin and Tia was talking with Kate and Garrett on the couch, while Tonya, Eleazar, and Carmen were over by the fire place having an conversation with Siobhan and Lime from the Irish coven. But Maggie on by the book shelf with the nomads. Such as Mary, Peter, Charlotte, and Randall.
The Cullen's were spread out through the room, chatting with different groups.
The tracker and the she wolf appeared in the door way. Carlisle was the first to noticed them. he eyed them for a moment but then his golden eyes panned down to their intertwined hands. He kindly smiled at them. thinking to himself that he had never been more happy for Alistair. Believing that the tracker wouldn't never let himself be happy with anybody. And glad that Leah through all her hard ship was finally finding some please and happiness. 'god know she deserves it'. he thought. Eleazar noticed that the doctor was looking off at something and had an sort smile. The other vampire turned his head in the direction to see what had caught his friends attention. His eye only slightly widen at seeing the couple holding hands.
His actions were followed by Carmen and Tonya. Then more heads began to turn until the whole room went quiet. Many eyes widened at the sight of Alistair a vampire holding the hand of a wolf. The room was absolutely silence, even without vampire hearing a feather could drop on to the floor and it would sound a bomb going off.
No one said a word.
No one knew what to say.
That was until the tracker spoke.
"okay we've made our entrance. Wolfs out of the bag. Let's go up to the attic". He walked in to the room pulling Leah along with him. just as came close to making it to the stair case Esme jumped in front of the door.
"wait, wait, wait, wait, wait". She said quickly. "you don't have to go up to the attic. No one here going to judge the two of you".
The Romanians snickered. "I'd beg a differ". Stefan raised an eye brow and smirked.
"what did I say". Tonya said smugly. "I was right he was the one crossing that treaty line Carlisle has with the wolfs. I told you all".
"ohh don't you ever shut up". Alistair glared at her.
"if I may..". Eleazar stepped. Ford.
"you may not". The tracker replied.
Eleazar ignored him. "and I don't mean to by rude… but how does this work?".
"what are you going on about?". the tracker was beginning to regret doing this.
"The both of you…. I mean… I assume you two are together now….. are you not?".
Leah stepped closer to her tracker and looped her arm around his back pulling him closer to himself.
"In case your all wondering that's a yes". Alistair did the same with his arm, and even for a seconded smelled her hair.
"what I'm trying to say is your both from different species. How do you stand to be so close to one another without…".
"wanting to rip each other apart… easily". Leah said through her white teeth.
"I think what he means is you smell like an wet dog and how he doesn't want to throw himself off of a volcano every time he close to you". Vladimir gave her an widen toothy smile and made Alistair grow at him. feeling protective of his mate.
"don't talk about my mate like that or I'll hand you over to Aro myself snow white". He said referring to Vladimir's white hair, and pale skin. The smirk the Romanian vampire was sporting instantly vanished, and was replaced and a sneer.
"Mate?". Tonya said in disbelieve. The vampires sitting on the sofa stood up at the news.
"well not like I own any of you anything but I don't do a lot of thing often du to not give a shit but when I do I don't half ass it. yes that right… mate. we're together now… it's just Leah and myself".
"I'm very happy for you Alistair, and you as well Leah". the doctor stepped ford with an kind smile wanting to defuse the situation. He knew that Alistair when feeling threatened would tend to have a short fuse.
"thank you Carlisle". The tracker responded.
"Thank you". Leah responded at the same time her mate did.
"but really how do you two of you work… isn't like…. Weird?". Maggie the youngest vampire said in an careful tone not wanting to step on anyone's toes. She had an frown on her face.
"no it isn't weird like he said we're mates". Leah glared at the younger girl.
"but how did you two happen?". Eleazar had one of his arms across his chest and the other under his chin.
The tracker signed. "we met, there was an pull. We couldn't stay away from each other. Where together now, end of story".
"what do you mean a pull?". This caught this interest of Carlisle and Elazar who both walked towards the couple. "a pull like your tracker ability or….?".
"no.. this was something else..".
"a crush". Garrett scoffed.
"shut up leech".
Garrett smirked at the she wolf. Kate bumped in to his shoulder telling him to knock it off, he chuckled at his mate. She only lightly glared at him.
"AWW does the she wolf have a crush… so cute". Stefan grinned at Vladimir, who grinned back.
"what… did… I …say". Alistair turned to the both of them.
"ohh did someone's feeling get hurt, Stefan I think you've hurt someone's little feelings. You should hug him and make up".
"nay I don't want to get the mutts stink all over me. it'll never wash off, and I don't partially want my dead eyes watering every second of the day".
"I must admit I wouldn't be able to stand being around you if that were the case. You don't smell that great now". the white haired vampire nudged the blacked haired one.
"no I think that's you".
"hey do you think you two could quit flirting for a minutes, long enough for me to snapped all your limbs off with my own hands". Leah growled.
"if the both of you were as smart as your think you are then you wouldn't want to piss her off". Alistair said smugly.
"Leah". Carlisle said softy. She tore her eyes away from the two Romanians glaring back at her, and looked to the doctor. "did you….. imprint on him?".
She signed. "no…. I didn't imprint". She moved her arm off of his back and grabbed a hold of his hand instead. She gave him a reassuring squeeze.
"but yet you still felt a… pull?".
"yeah we both did". Alistair squeezed her hand back.
"Eleazar". Carlisle looked to his friend. "have you ever…".
"no Carlisle…. I've never heard of anything like this before". He said slowly, almost like he wasn't sure.
"so… did you do it". Emmet asked with a sly grin.
"Emmet!". Esme hissed, glaring at her son.
"what?, it for educational purposes".
"how?. How is it for education purposes?". Esme put her hands on her hips.
"because…. If they did now we would know that it is possible for vampires and shape shifters to have sex without vomiting on each other".
"highly doubtful. Vladimir muttered.
"well I think this is an abomination!". Amun said angrily.
"Amun please…".
The Egyptian coven leader cut the doctor off. "no this is wrong. Sleeping with the enemy… disgraceful. Do you honestly hate yourself that much?". he asked looking right at Alistair, ignoring the she wolf.
"even more but that isn't why I'm sleeping with her..".
Emmet now cut the tracker off. "AH called it". he told the room happily.
"I love her…". he said looking straight in to Amun red eyes. Kebi made an disgusted sound like somebody left the bathroom door open.
"how?... can't you smell her". if the tracker could he would of spat on the Egyptian coven leader.
"no I can't". Alistair said angrily "now…. leave my mate the hell alone".
"there it is… that word again". Amun glared at him. "she must be good in bed then it your so insistent on getting up this… this charade. This illusion of love because it just isn't possible, it's not possible to love an mutt".
within the blink an eye Alistair was over by him in seconds. Grabbing Amun violently and pushing up against the wall. The two of them snarled at each other, with venom practically dripping from their mouths. "I dare you to disrespect her one more time fossil because I swear to god if you ever…". Benjamin jumped in and tried to pull the tracker off of his coven leader but was having some trouble doing so.
"Alistair". Carlisle cried helping Benjamin pull him off of Amun. Emmet too grabbed a hold of him and gave him a tug, Finally breaking them apart. "Alistair please calm yourself".
"Carlisle did you not hear what he said about her". the tracker cried.
Kebi went up to her husband and began to comfort him. for a second she made eye contact with Leah and hissed. Leah growled at her in return.
"Alistair what did you mean by you can't smell her?". Elazar decided to stand next to Carlisle hoping to build an barrier between Alistair and Amun. So the tracker could lunge for him again. he hoped that getting in the way and asking some question would hopefully distract them long enough to calm everybody down.
"what happened?". Jacob said running in to the room. Closely followed by Edward and Bella. The tree of them heard the noise from out side and decided it would be best to cheek It out. Nessie was spending the day at Charlies with him and Sue.
The tracker wasn't taking his eyes off of Amun, but every so often they'd shift to the Romanians. "I wonder if I could rip one of their heads off before getting tackled to the ground?. It be worth it to see one of their head rolling around on the floor as the other one tried to make sense of what I'd just done to see friend'. Alistair thought.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you Alistair…. But I don't believe you have time". Edward told him.
"no harm in dreaming then". the tracker shrugged. He then turned to Eleazar, who was still waiting patiently for Alistair to respond. "she doesn't smell bad to me… she smells like…. Like..". he looked at her. Leah had been busy glaring at Amun and Kebi to noticed that Alistair was looking at her. but once she did and locked eyes with her, her features softened immediately. The two watched each other for a moment before Alistair carry on with what he was saying. "well at the moment she smells like the rain after a storm".
They continued to watch each other.
"and you Leah…. is it the same with you?. does he like different to you as well?".
She nodded, not looking at Eleazar at all. Because all she could do was focus on her tracker. It was the way he looked at her that made her want to tear up. But the last thing she wanted to do was to cry and get emotional in an room fall of vampires.
"Leah…". Eleazar took step towards the she wolf. "do you think… there's a chance you may have imprinted and just not realized it?. maybe…. You did but with a vampire…. It's different?". He asked softy.
"I don't know". she said quietly looking down. Alistair at hearing what her voice sounded like reached out for her with his left hand. He was facing a different way to her and when she took his hand it was with her left as well.
There saw a stillness in the room.
"who made you upset?". Jacob asked in an low voice. Leah turned away from the room and wiped an tear away. Alistair turned to look at him then looked at the Romanians and the Egyptians. Jacob eyed them all with an angry expression. 'how dear they make my friend upset'. Edward looked at him, knowing that he may have to step in between him and them at some point.
'it may not be tonight. but after the way they've talk about her and Alistair I have a feeling something going to be happenings. And if not with Jacob then with Seth and the others in the black pack. They wouldn't tolerate one of their own getting treated poorly…. Expressly her beta. And expressly to Seth's sister, no he wouldn't take kindly to the way she was getting mistreated. And then you have Alistair being her mate. I don't believe that they'd be fine with the way he was being treated too. Even if he was….. a bloodsucker'. The mind reader thought.
Alistair moved next to her and she gazed up at him. the two were so close their noses were almost touching. After a few minutes of gazing at each they both felt that electricity again. like the first time they saw one another. Leah felt the familiar heat in the stomach again. they didn't know what came over them but all that passion they felt for one another came back all at once. It came out of nowhere. Once their eyes met they had become mesmerized by each other. It was almost like everybody in the room disagreed in to thin air. Almost like there was an supernatural force taking over them both. "let's go up to the attic".
She slowly nodded and tugged him along taking the lead. leaving everyone in the living room wondering what the hell just happened, because the room felt it to. not like the way they felt it more like they could all sense the change in the air.
The attic.
The both of them came crashing through the attic hatched.
He saw kissing her furiously, while taking off her coat.
"Alistair they'll hear us". she whispered.
"then you better be quiet she wolf". He grabbed her and jumped them both on to the pull out.
