A/n: I do not own Twilight
Sorry for the hiatus but I am back! Just want to shout out to everyone who has reviewed this, and give you all a massive thank you. And if the haters are still reading this, I hope it is somewhat better for your taste;)
Leah's POV:
Jake, had come to my house at three in the morning to discuss something of importance to me. I had a strong feeling, that something was up. I hoped he didn't confess in front of me, that he had taken back that blood-sucker. To my dismay, it was much worse.
"Leah, Seth told me how you feel about me and I'm so sorry," He paused as he reached to grab my right hand to hold, but I yanked away my hand. I had known where he was about to go with this. "I imprinted on Nessie, and as much as I hate her right now. I can't go back and change what I had done."
"I told you, that it was a mistake." I said as I choked back the tears. I didn't want him to see me cry all over my white comforter as he sat on the bed by my side.
I really wished that I had never gone chasing after to find him, but I couldn't help myself. No one knows that I imprinted on Jake, but I was out of luck when he had imprinted on a blood-sucker. I knew that I would never have him.
"I wish I would have known-"
"Leave me alone, and don't ever come back." I growled at him.
My sadness had quickly turned over to anger, because vulnerability is not my forte. I would rather die than be known as a weak wolf. It's horrible that I'm the only girl in the pack, but it's even worse if I act like one.
Jake, didn't say another word to me as he left my house and out into the forest. I don't even know why I continue to stay here, when I could so easily get up and leave. I have been on this reservation my whole life, and I have never actually experienced life outside these walls.
I didn't fall back to sleep after he left; instead I packed up my belongings and started to head towards the unknown. I didn't make it very far, because I was stopped by Sam and Seth.
"Where exactly are you going?" Sam asked as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his denim shorts. Even with the moon lighting the reservation, I could still see how beautiful Sam is. He will always be beautiful to me, and now I understand more than ever his frustration with imprinting.
"I am leaving, and don't try to stop me." I told him the truth. I respect Sam, and I don't try to ever lie to him.
"You aren't going anywhere, when there is a bounty on our heads." Seth warned.
Seth has always tried to look out for me even though I am older than him. I assumed it is because, he feels as though it is his duty to protect his sister. I love him to death, but he can be overbearing when it comes to protecting me.
"I will go wherever I want, because if Jake can then so can I." I said as I tried to make a valid point, but nothing is a valid point to Sam.
"Leah, I order you to stay here and I will make sure that you don't leave." Sam said, and I couldn't argue anymore.
Whatever Sam says, goes. However, when this stupid battle is over, I will leave this town and never come back. I don't want to be a part of the pack anymore, and lets face it I have always been a burden to them. I know they all wished, it had been a boy or any other girl but me.
"Embry, keep watch on her and make sure that she never leaves your sight," Sam paused as he looked off into the distance of the forest. We all know he heard something, but he won't ever alarm us. "I have something that I need to attend to."
Sam had phased before he made it into the doorway of the forest that surrounds the reservation. I was pushed back inside by Embry and Seth as they order me around to make some food. I wanted to know so desperately what Sam was up to, but I won't ever find out.
Jacob's POV:
After my altercation with Leah, I had gone into the forest to wait for Sam. I was told to come alone, and that it was of important matters we were about to discuss. I wanted to stay with her longer and talk, but I knew that I couldn't be late for this.
Although, Sam is now five minutes late so I could have been late and it wouldn't have mattered. I heard the leaves on the ground crunch as the noise of something in the distance was coming closer to where I stood.
"Jake, I need to talk to you about gaining an important alliance-"
"You're five minutes late." I interrupted Sam as he stepped closer near me.
It was always a risky business being in the forest with only two of us, but two is still better than one. We don't know what could be out here or better whom would be listening to our conversation.
'We need the Cullens on our side or else we will die.' Sam said in his head, to protect our important discussion.
'I would rather die than be allies with them.'
'Think about the bigger picture.'
'We've fought vampire clans by ourselves before.'
'The Volturi is coming to help the new clan fight against us this time. We need a bigger army.'
Even though he was right, I didn't want to admit it. I don't want to be around those blood-suckers ever again. I wished that I had never come back, but at the same time I wouldn't have known the truth about Billy's death.
'Think about Leah, you don't want her to die. Do you?'
Of course, I don't want anyone to die especially not Leah. Even if you are backed up against the wall, you still have to be unselfish.
'Fine, make your alliance.'
We had run back to the reservation after I had agreed to letting the Cullens help us. I didn't want to do it, but I had no choice. I can't let myself be the reason why Leah dies. I have already caused her enough damage as it is.
Review?
