Haha, okay. So I've been running out of ideas, but I feel like I NEED to be writing SOMETHING. So I stumbled upon sillybella's challenge forum! Yay! So, expect lotsa challenges coming up.
This one is from nadia the demented one's "when we look in the mirror, what do we see?" challenge.
This is set before Breaking Dawn.

Mirror - Leah
Sometimes when Leah Clearwater sees her reflection, she can't look away.
She's pretty, no doubt about that. Wide brown eyes, surrounded by thick black lashes. Short chestnut hair with lighter streaks from the sun, more flattering now than it was when it was long.
And it astounds her, that she can change herself. She can morph her delicate body into something else, into a powerful gray wolf. She feels amazing when she is running alone through the woods, fearless and careless and beautiful.
But then she takes a closer look, and she sees the pain her eyes. The hurt lies in heaps, piled on top of each other and she is about to collapse.
On the very bottom of the pile is Sam's rejection. It cut her deep, and the fact that she has to constantly be around him, under his control, is just salt shoved violently into the wound. No one wants her.
She's seen what it feels like to imprint in the minds of others in the pack- and she wants it so badly. For someone to feel her anchoring them to the ground, for someone to think that she is the center of their universe.
But she doesn't think it'll ever happen.
And way high, on the very top of the stack, is the realization she's come to.
Like this, she will never be normal, she will never be Leah again.
Sometimes when Leah Clearwater sees her reflection, she can't look away fast enough.

I wrote this really fast, so sorry if it's not so good. I think I'm gonna do another mirror one- Alice's POV.
