Chapter 4: Off we go.
Chapter prologue:
Through the dark I caught the glinting cold eyes of the killer. A growl ripped from both our throats as we faced each other. His clothing murmured against his body as he prepared to leap at me. I dug my paws into the ground. "Its me or him" I thought.
OxO
"I can't believe I'm actually going!" I murmured excitedly to myself. We were in the airport and I was about to go through to the plane.
"Bye Seth" I said as I stepped forward and hugged him.
"Bye Mum" I said hugging her. I felt her tears wet my shirt.
"Mum its ok, I'll be back in a few weeks." I told her.
"Call me everyday ok?" she said through her tears.
Nodding I gave her one final hug and turned around to go to the plane.
"Bye Guys, I love you" I called over my shoulder, elated that I was finally leaving if only for a week or two. I would miss them, but I can't help and be happy that I don't have any responsibilities for the next few weeks.
I sat comfortably into my chair and looked out the window at the land passing bellow. Before long my thoughts drifted to my first transformation.
I was standing in the forest fuming over Sam falling in love with Emily. At the time I didn't understand that it wasn't his fault. I was angry. I kept thinking of all the things he had said to me. I thought of the moment he met her. I could see it in his eyes as all thoughts of me left his mind and we replaced with Emily. I was angry at myself for hurting so much. The pain my heart felt when he told me. It was ripped apart. I was extremely angry at him for doing that to me. All of a sudden those thoughts pulled together and formed a burning inferno in my head. I panicked as it spread through my body. My sigh turned red, flames flickered in the corner of my eyes. I searing pain ripped through me as my body changed. It forced itself into another shape. My mind was suddenly filled with voiced. "Leah!, its ok Leah, we're here. Are you ok?" they asked I was shocked to hear Sam's voice. "What's happening to me?" I said
I sighed thinking of how confused and scared I was. "At least changing doesn't hurt so much anymore" I reflected. My thoughts involuntarily turned to Sam. My heart's ache had begun to dull recently. It still hurt. I hurt worse when everyone else had imprinted. They were all in love and it was a relief to get away from it. It lessened the pain a great deal. I wiped my cheek, embarrassed to find that I was crying. I let my thoughts drift and I soon fell asleep.
When I got off the plane it was night time. After the long process of leaving the airport I managed to find a cab and fell in.
"Where to miss?" I gruff voice asked.
Looking down at my list mum had written I read out the name of the hotel.
"The Central city hotel" I said. The taxi driver looked at me in confusion. I got out the map and pointed out to him where it was.
"Oh a back packers" he said understanding. With that he drove off at a slow pace. "Sorry miss traffic jam" he said catching the tired look on my face. I just nodded and closed my eyes.
When we finally reached the backpackers I was half asleep. Dragging my bags up the stairs I went up to the desk.
"Name?" A woman behind the desk said.
"Leah Clearwater" I replied in a tired voice.
She looked at her books and wrote something next to what I thought was my name.
"Up two flights of stairs and on the left" she said in a bored voice handing me my keys.
"Don't stay out past 3 am, coz we wont let ya in till 7" she said turning back to the computer. I heard the sounds of laser guns from the speakers as I turned to the stairwell.
I woke to the sounds of horns blasting and shouts of people from across the street. Groaning I looked at the clock. 11 am. I struggled out of bed and walked over to the shower. I took my time washing myself as I was still waking up.
Stepping out of the shower I quickly got dressed and went over to check my mobile phone. Flipping it open I saw that I had 3 messages.
The first was from Mum.
Leah.
Call me when you get in.
Love you.
The second was from Seth
Hey do you know where my iPod is?
The third was also from Seth
Don't worry found it.
Sighing I dialled Mum's number. After three rings she answered.
"Hello? Leah?" She said.
"Hey Mum" I replied.
"How was your flight honey?" she asked.
"Ah….boring I fell asleep" I said
Laughing she asked me what I was doing today.
"I'm not sure yet, I think I'll just have a look around, you know soak in the city atmosphere" I replied.
"Don't get lost" was all she said.
"Oh yea, Mum can you tell Seth to stop asking stupid questions?" I asked.
I could here Seth laughing in the background as mum said goodbye.
"Love you too" I said hanging up.
I went down stairs and stopped at the desk to ask where the nearest place selling breakfast was. This time there was a guy sitting behind the desk looking bored. He had curly dark hair and a pale face. Not another pale one I thought sarcastically. His eyes lit up as I walked over. "What can I help you with?" he asked with an English accent smiling. Finding my self smiling back I asked him.
"Sure just down the road. It's called Arnie's" he said
"Thank you, see you later" I said.
"I hope so" he replied cheekily. I was surprised to find myself enjoying his attention.
I walked into the shop and looked around. The walls were painted a pale blue and the tables were made out of polished wood. Despite the name the place was actually very nice. I walked over to a table and sat down. A waitress came over and handed me a menu.
"Today's specials are French toast and bacon warps" she told me.
"Ah I think I'll just have some eggs and toast please."
"Would you like a drink with that?" she asked
"Glass of juice thanks" I said relaxing back in my chair. I found myself missing Seth's morning chatter. God the kid is to lovable for his own good.
The bell rang as someone walked in. I looked up and found myself smiling at the guy from the backpackers.
"Hey" he said coming over and sitting down.
"hi" I replied smiling back.
"Oh my names Tony by the way" he said grinning.
"I'm Leah" I said.
"Well my real name is Antonio, but I prefer tony" he said.
The waitress came over with my eggs and asked him for his order. He quickly ordered the same as me and she walked off.
"So where do you come from?" he asked.
"Have you ever been to forks?" I asked him.
"No but I've heard of it "
"Yea well I live in a place called La Push which is near there" I said. "How about you?" I asked.
"Well I come from England, which you might have guessed" he replied.
"Yea, but where in England?" I asked blushing.
"In the country side a few miles away from London." He said.
I suddenly remembered my eggs and started wolfing them down.
"So where are you off to today?" he asked me.
"No idea" I said, my mouth half full.
"Well then today I shall be your guide." He announced.
"Haven't you got work?" I asked pointing out the obvious.
"Nah, I was only helping this morning" he replied.
The waitress came back as Tony started telling me about the city.
He quickly ate and we set off.
" First stop, central park" he said.
