Leah POV

The next morning I thought it best to keep Jake informed on his mate. I quickly brushed my teeth (we stopped by the local Wal-Mart to get necessary supplies for the stay) and went out to find a place to phase.

I didn't have to search far when I found a lake that was surrounded in trees. It was way off a main street called Yorktown. I quickly hid in the brush and took of my clothes to phase. I loved the way my body felt as my bones shifted and grew into an elongated graceful wolf.

Leah! Goddammit! Where the hell are you? I give you one job! ONE JOB! And you screw it up!

Geesh Jake, as far as I see it, I'm still doing that job. You told me to keep an eye on her right? Well that's what I'm doing. I'm making sure she is safe. She IS safe.

Tell me where you are at so I can go get you.

No.

WHAT!? Leah, I know I promised I would never force you to do anything but I never realized you would be this stupid. Don't make me break my promise; tell me where you are at.

Jake, I love you for keeping that promise, but no. She will only run away again. Give her time; she has been fed by spoon her entire life. She wants to live a little, when the rush has worn off, we'll be back but until then….well I'll keep you posted for now.

Okay, you have convinced me…but now you have to face Bella. She is pissed.

And Renesmee has her phone, if they want to talk to her, all they have to do is call her. It is her decision if she answers it or not. I gotta go, but I'll keep you posted, and I'm only doing this so she can stay longer, not so you can keep tabs.

All right Leah. Keep her safe, please don't let anything happen to her…I really can't afford to lose her. She's my life.

Yeah, Jake. I know.

I phase back into a human and go back to the apartment.


"What the hell is that mangy dog thinking?" Bella was pissed.

"Sweetie, don't worry. I understand Renesmee's feeling of entrapment. She will come back. I did, and I didn't have someone like Jake to bring me home." Edward tried not to show his worry but it still came off of him in waves.

"You may have been able to fool me when I was a human, but now I have all your senses. Don't try to pull one on me."

"Huh. Well then, you know that I care about her. Give her time, like Leah said. She is more than capable of taking care of herself and I'm sure that Leah would protect her like she was Jake."

"Yeah I guess."


I walk back into the apartment and Renesmee is in the shower so I just get onto the couch and sleep some more. This trip will be interesting to say the least.
