Leah's Point of View
Leah didn't understand why she wasn't as scared as the others were. Everyone else looked as though the Volturi were making a return, but it was just one blood sucker. It made no sense to her. Then again, maybe that was because she often overestimated herself and figured if worse came to worse she'd just sink her teeth into his throat and burn the remains. She wouldn't do that to the Cullens, though. While Edward and Carlisle didn't look like they particularly wanted to see Warren again, she could tell they were slightly anxious to see him again.
Renesmee had returned inside, at first a little disgruntled everyone was being so quiet instead of telling her what they were talking about. Leah could see Jacob pull her aside, however, to explain. She rolled her eyes. What was the point of sending her out if he was gonna tell her anyway? He was so whipped...
"So...what happened?" Seth asked as he took Alice's seat. "Is it the red hoods?"
"No, no, it's...apparently...someone's coming. Someone only Carlisle and Edward knew...he's a bad scene, so if he does come it won't be any good for any of us," Leah explained as best as she could. "His name's Warren...I think. Apparently ripped his girlfriend to pieces because she tried to kill him by running him over."
"Woah...that's heavy," Seth commented, looking away. "Wonder why it took Alice so long to have a vision."
"I guess he didn't have anything to do with us until now..." Leah shrugged. She really didn't know why. Alice didn't have to know the person personally in order to have a vision. After all, she kept having them for that Riley kid who had started an entire army of newborns and she had no clue who he was.
"Guys," Jacob's voice cut in, snapping Leah from her trance. "Time to go."
"Jacob," Carlisle stepped in before he could disappear with the siblings, "if you don't mind...I'd appreciate it if you alarm Sam on what's going on. He should know and be ready. Warren isn't aware of our treaty and I don't want Sam to get the impression that we are."
"I think the treaty was thrown out the window since the almost war," Leah grunted as she got to her feet. "Plus since the three of us have been coming in here..."
Carlisle smiled. "Even still. I don't want anyone to get hurt. If Sam feels he needs the pack to act out on defense...I will not stand against him."
Jacob smiled and nodded to him. "Sure, no problem." He turned and gave Renesmee a final kiss before going and giving Edward and Bella his goodbyes. Leah merely waved as she made her way down the narrow stairs, pulling on her jacket along the way. The three of them would have to take Bella's old nasty ass truck. Since she had no need for it any longer, she returned it to Jacob as a...gift. Jacob drove them around in it everywhere.
"I call window seat!" Seth declared, not wanting to sit in the middle again. Leah cursed quietly and climbed in first, already not looking forward to be squeezed between two annoying boys. Soon enough, they were off, Jacob as always brooding quietly as he drove while Seth looked out the window obliviously, not at all taking this situation with a grain of salt.
"Are you going to tell Sam, then?" Leah asked, finally breaking the silence.
Jacob looked at her, then back to the road with a face even grimmer than the last.
"I guess...he won't be too happy to know there's another pair of red eyes coming to Forks," he sighed, rubbing at his temples with his free hand. "I just...what I wanna know is...why now? What suddenly changed that he had to come down to Forks of all places? Especially after everything's that's happened. Bella moving back, her discovering the vampires and werewolves, the newborn war, Renesmee...everything. Why now?"
"I guess we'll get to ask him that when it's time."
"But when is it time? They don't even know when he's getting here. We have no time for preparation," Jacob grumbled, shaking his head. "Carlisle should've told us. Edward and Carlisle both should've told us."
"Well, they needed to shut it out so Aro couldn't see it, right? Limit the memories, you limit the problems," Seth shrugged. "I wonder how Warren managed to avoid the Volturi for so long, though. If he was this big killer..."
"That's for the blood suckers to decide," Leah snapped, shaking her head. "I'm tired of talking about it."
They drove in silence from then on. Leah didn't know why it suddenly bothered her. She definitely wasn't afraid like Carlisle and Edward were, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy at just the thought of it. Warren Cullen didn't sound like anyone to mess with, especially if his first act as a vampire was ripping apart his vengeful mate. He didn't even chow down on her. He...ripped her to pieces.
"Alright, guess we should just get this over with," Jacob's voice cut into her thoughts as the truck slowed to a stop and he stepped out. She barely realized then that they had arrived back on reservation, the pack residing within Emily and Sam's home as always. Leah resisted the urge to form and just go for a run, but that wouldn't be safe if they were alarming Sam that a dangerous vampire would be arriving soon. He might want the pack to stay alert and away from the trees.
She followed her brother inside, as always remaining stoic as she went to take a seat beside Embry and Paul, the both of them howling with laughter from some stupid joke the two of them told. Jacob was already greeting Sam with a hug, keeping them for a moment as he hissed the news into his ear. Sam stiffened for a moment before nodding curtly and turning to the rest of them, calling for silence by raising a hand.
"Carlisle's decided to warn us of someone arriving to Forks in some time," he called, before continuing, "Alice had a vision of a Cullen with red eyes. It would appear he's no friend to the Cullens, and he will be no friend to us. If he crosses our borders, Carlisle has stated we are allowed to react. Unfortunately...we won't know of his arrival until we sense it. He can come right now, tomorrow...next week...even in a year. Be on guard, and you will leave in pairs from now on if you choose to take form."
"Another blood sucker?" Paul snorted, rolling his eyes. "I still can't see how we couldn't wipe the Cullens out after the Red Hoods..."
"Cut it out, Paul. For now...everyone stay safe. Watch your backs. If you see red eyes...you know what to do," Sam said seriously. That made the pack go quieter, all now having their minds wander. Leah already went over what she'd do. Of course, she'd be tailing her brother a lot more now. As if she'd let him go on the loose with someone like that out there. Seth was gonna be a lot more annoyed with her in this case.
"Leah, Jacob, Seth, come with me," Sam suddenly said. Leah looked confused. Apparently, so did the other two. The three stood and made their way to follow the alpha out the door. Leah could hear Paul hissing insults to the Cullens as she left. She had half a mind to go back in there and strike him with her nails(or claws, if she were angry enough).
"I'll be needing you three to remain with the Cullens until the vampire arrives," Sam said finally. "They are probably the main reason he is coming, so they'll be the first he comes to see. Alarm me once it happens and Carlisle will have the pack on his heels for any help necessary. I will not be having a pair of red eyes terrorizing Forks or the reservations. Do you understand?"
"Edward will definitely be psyched for that," Jacob mumbled, before nodding. "Yeah. We'll go."
"Alright. Stay on your toes. Just make sure nobody gets hurt," Sam instructed, before returning inside.
Now it was just the three of them again, standing in a tiny circle as they exchanged uneasy glances. It was just another day in the lives of those involved with the Cullens. There was always something for them, and it was infuriating. Leah seriously needed to consider just leaving Forks. She couldn't leave Seth, though. Without their father, Seth just listened to Jacob. And Jacob was an idiot.
"What does this mean?" Seth asked quietly. "We just wait with the Cullens until Warren shows his mug? What if he just kills us on the spot? Carlisle said he can manipulate metal..."
"We've dealt with worse. I guarantee you Warren is one of the weaker bloodsuckers, anyway," Jacob said. "Leah...will you be okay?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I mean...I'm glad you're getting along better with...about just a third of the Cullens, but...we could be staying there for days." Jacob said seriously.
"Alice and Esme are worth it," Leah said, matter-of-factly. "I can stand the rest of them long enough. Now, let's go." She marched past him, making sure to nail his shoulder with her own. How dare he! Of all people, he felt he had the right to tell her she needed to not act childishly? He had pestered Bella to be with him for how long, despite him knowing how loyal she was to Edward? Leah didn't loathe the Cullens as much as she used to. Sure, she really only genuinely liked Esme and Alice, but she wasn't as animalistic(pardon the pun) as she used to. The near war had changed a lot of her morals with the vampires. Jacob should know that by now.
The three of them had taken off to go pack their bags for the time being. Jacob had also taken the opportunity to call Edward and tell him what was gonna happen with the pack as well as himself, Seth, and Leah. Edward had agreed to lend his old room for the three to sleep in. He just had to make Jacob promise not to go out to Edward's house to meet Renesmee in the middle of the night. Leah had snorted when she heard Jacob's declarations.
"This is gonna be so cool!" Seth exclaimed as he appeared at the horrible looking truck with his duffle bag. "It'll be like a big sleepover, huh?"
"Yay," Leah mumbled aggressively.
"Let's just get this over with," Jacob huffed as he got into the driver's seat. Seth bounced in his seat as they drove off reservation, back on the way to the Cullens. Leah knew only one thing.
They better just kill this Warren Cullen and get it over with.
