9 Confession

Leah's point of view

Can you believe that the Young family and their guests believed that I was attacked by a bear? Who would have thought that Quil's imagination was going to be useful for something like this? After all the drama and once we have assured everyone that nothing serious had happened, I went to my room and I felt asleep immediately; I was too tired to do anything else.

I woke up a few hours later, and the first thing that I saw was the necklace in my hand. Is really beautiful, but that is not the only reason I want to keep it, besides, when was the last time someone gave me a present? I know that we are talking of the enemy here, but is still a gift. I put it away and took a shower. After getting dress in a short and a blue t-shirt, my stomach began to make funny noises, time for breakfast!

I was sleeping in Emily's old bedroom, the one she used to use before leaving to La Push. Suddenly I got this strange idea and I stared at her closet. Before I regret it, I opened it quickly and started looking for old photo albums. I found some of them between the shoes and I took them out. Most of the pictures showed Emily and her family spending their time together, I appeared in a lot of them too, especially when it was summer time. Suddenly a guy started appearing in the photographs; Neal.

He was cute, even when he was just a teen. Don't ask me why my heart feels so heavy now, I don't understand it. I kept looking at the pictures till he was replaced by Sam. I put the albums away and I decided to go downstairs.

"Leah!" Lina called me from the other end of the corridor when she saw me.

"Good morning Lina," I said trying not to yawn. "What do we need to do today?"

"You? Nothing, I know you have lots of pack stuff to take care off," she said and I raised my eyebrow.

"What?"

"I am Neal's sister, remember? I know everything about him and now I know you are a superhero too, so, don't worry, I'll take care of everything today," she said blinking an eye.

"A super…what?"

"Did you already have breakfast?"

"I am on my way there."

"Oh, then hurry up, your pack brothers are already there and we both know food is not going to last with them on the table," she said smiling to me.

Why is she being so nice with me all of a sudden? Just because I am a shape shifter? I wonder if Emily already told her that Sam imprinted her, does she feel sorry about me? Well, her new attitude gave me a free day, so I'll take it.

After breakfast, my pack and I walked in our human form towards the place where we were going to meet the other two packs. They were all their, except for Paul and Jared who were patrolling; so we finally got to meet the entire Makah pack in their human form.

We sat together in a big round; I sat between Jacob and Seth; and we prepared ourselves for a very long talk. Every time I turned to look at Neal, I found him staring at me. Do I have something on my face? What is wrong with him?

"So, where should we start?" Sam asked Jake.

"Is all your pack here?" Jacob asked Neal.

"Yes," Neal nodded.

"You are just five?" Quil questioned.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Derek asked.

"No, of course not, we are five too," Jacob answered.

"We are twelve," Sam said and the Makah clan gave him a questioning look. "We left the cubs home."

"Cubs?"

"They are between twelve and fifteen years old," Embry answered and Rick started to laugh loudly.

"You are cub!" he told Tristan.

"Shut up!"

I don't want to bore you with the long story; all you have to know is that we told them everything. We started talking about old legends, then we continued with our own transformations and we finally reached the subject about the Cullens, the Volturi and the almost war. They were more than impressed; their faces showed how surprise they were about everything that had happened to us, and then they told us their stories.

We spent all day long talking about everything and then they started asking questions about the things they didn't understand, for example; Jake imprinting Nessie. Fortunately for me, it was my turn to patrol around the area, that way they could talk all they wanted about imprints without me. That is still a problematic subject for me, and I know the guys are going to feel more comfortable with me running very far away.

Neal's point of view

I didn't like the sensation I felt when I saw Leah leaving, is it because we started talking about imprinting? Its better this way, she won't hear us, so I'll be able to ask all my doubts to rest of the guys.

"So, how many of you have imprints apart from Jake?" I asked while Paul, Jared, Quil and Sam lifted their hands. "You?" I asked Sam confused.

"I imprinted Emily many years ago," he answered smiling.

He told me the whole story and I finally got to understand why he had left Leah the way he did it. Well, I understand it, but that doesn't mean I like the way he did it or that I approve it. I mean, I feel like he is using the imprint stuff to excuse his acts. I know, I shouldn't be judging him this way, especially now that I imprinted too and that now I know how strong the pull can be.

"So, what should I do now?" I asked them.

I don't like the idea of asking advice to my imprint's ex-boyfriend, but they are the ones with experience here.

"She is old enough to now the truth and she is going to discover it sooner or later with our mind connection, it was pretty hard not to think about it yesterday and I don't think we can do it forever," Jacob said.

"How do you think she is going to take it?" I asked Seth and he lifted his shoulders.

"Leah is a very unpredictable person," he said.

"At least you won't have to explain her the whole story, so she'll understand immediately," Jared said looking at the bright side.

"Yeah, just be sure to tell her in a place where she can't find any dangerous object, and that there is something big between you two in case she decides to attack you," Paul said and Embry tried to slapped him, but he missed.

Sam didn't say anything; he was looking to the forest with a very serious expression. I know what he feels; he hates me, the same way I feel towards him. Well, is not really hate, it's more like rivalry. He doesn't like the fact that I imprinted his ex-girlfriend and that I used to date his fiancée. I know a part of him will always love her, just like a part of me will always love Emily, but I don't like that idea either. Dammit, why things have to be so complicated?

"Is it true?" I asked. "What that vampire said about Leah being the only known shape-shifter female in the world and the only one in Quileute history?"

I don't even have words to explain how I felt when I discovered she was a shape shifter too. One part of me was very glad, I mean, she is probably going to understand everything I have been through now that she can feel what I feel. On the other hand, I didn't like the idea of her fighting against supernatural creatures and dealing against vampires. I want to protect her of those things and how am I going to do it if her destiny is to fight against them too?

"Apparently, yes," Jacob said seriously. "The Volturi have ruled the vampire world for centuries, if she wasn't the only one I am pretty sure they wouldn't have offered her a place in their royal guard."

"So, we should prepare ourselves?" I asked and they gave me questioning looks. "If they want to take her away, they'll have to pass over my dead body first."

"Leah is from our reservation," Sam pointed out. "We'll take care of the problem."

"She is my imprint," I remembered him with an authoritarian tone. "If there is going to be a fight, then I am in it."

"Guys there is not going to be a fight," Jacob assured us. "Time has a different signification for vampires, they'll probably come back for her in 70 years and Leah would have probably stopped shifting by that time."

"So you suggest we do nothing?" I asked him angrily.

"I'll ask Alice to keep alert," Seth said. "But I don't think we should worry about a war, not now."

"Yeah, we should be wondering why an alpha imprinted on Leah," Embry proposed.

"Why?" Tristan asked confused.

"We thought Sam had imprinted Emily and not Leah, because Leah's body doesn't change; she can't have babies," Jared explained. "And what is the point of you imprinting on her if now you can't pass the gene to next generations?"

I looked at them with pity. Is that all they can think about? They are trying to look for a rational explanation for me imprinting on Leah? Why can't they just feel happy for her? I turned to look at Sam, poor idiot, is that what she told Leah when he broke up with her? He told her they couldn't be together anymore because she was unable to have kids? That's why he thought he hadn't imprinted on her? I'll tell you why he didn't, because he was a moron who didn't appreciate what was in front of him, that's why! I never thought I could hate someone so much, Sam Uley proved me wrong.

"Leah's existence is ending with all our theories," Paul commented.

"You know what I think about this?" I said. "My kids are going to receive a double dose of wolf genes and when they are old enough, they are going to kick your kids' ass!"

Most of them smiled at my comment, but Sam stared at me defiantly. I don't know what unnerves him more, my love for Leah or my attitude, I suppose both of them.

Leah and Caleb; who had been patrolling around the area; came back just when we decided to end the meeting. The rest of the guys started walking back to the Young's house, but I stayed back, I had other plans.

"Leah," I called her and she stayed till everyone was gone.

"What do you want Neal?"

"We need to talk," I told her and she stepped back.

"No, we don't."

"Why are you so angry with me?" I asked her walking towards her.

"Do you really need to ask?" she asked and I nodded. "You started flirting with me just a few hours after declaring your love to my cousin! I don't know what kind of girl you think I am, but I am not going to play your little games if that's what you think," I couldn't help to smile and that kind of pissed her off.

"So you are jealous?" I asked her shorting the distance between us.

"What? No! I just want you to let me out of your sick plans."

"Sick plans? I am not following Leah," I told her.

"Just forget it."

"No, tell me, I am really interested in knowing about my sick plans."

"Why did you agree to be my date for the wedding?" she asked all of a sudden changing the subject.

"Well, Lina told me you had already scared almost all the male population of the reservation and I'll admit it, you intrigue me."

"That's your answer? We only talked for a couple of minutes!"

"Believe it or not, something else apart from your words that night made me felt attracted to you."

"And that was after or before your talk with Emily?" she asked angrily.

"Does it matter?"

"Just answer!"

"After," I answered not understanding why that detail was so important to her.

"Oh, so now you are trying to tell me that after being Emily's boyfriend for years and after declaring your love for her, just with a few words I made you changed your mind?" she asked me angrily stepping forward to show me she wasn't afraid of me. "Do you really think I am going to believe that?"

"I have a very good explanation," I whispered loud enough for her to hear me while I leaned my head towards hers; our foreheads almost touching.

"I don't want to hear it Neal."

"Leah, that night I imprinted you."

I waited for the attack, but it didn't come. I waited for the screams full of joy, they didn't come either. She just stood their, looking at me, without saying anything like she was some kind of statue.

"Leah?"

"This is impossible," she said shaking her head and blinking a lot. "You are lying."

"No I am not."

"Shut up."

"Leah I am not joking," I assured her. "I wasn't sure at first, but then I talked to the guys and…"

"What guys? You mean everyone else already knows about this?" she asked angrily stepping back.

"Leah wait… everything happened so fast and then the vampires appeared, and all I wanted to do was to cut Demetri's head off, and you were angry at me and I don't know what to do, everything is a mess, and there is a wedding coming…" I started mumbling unintelligible things and I lost the point. "The only thing that I am really sure of is that I care about you."

"I am sorry," she said starting to sob and walking backwards. "I am really sorry."

"Leah wait!"

She ran to the forest and I felt like if someone has just stabbed my heart. I know how cliché that phrase is, but is the best way to describe how I feel right now. I wanted to follow her, but is obvious that she needs some time alone.

It was already dark and I started to walk in the forest trying to think what to do. Suddenly a huge house appeared in front of me; my feet had dragged me unconsciously to the Young's house. Sam was the only one outside; he was throwing the garbage away. Don't ask me why, but from one moment to another all my rage and ire spread along my body causing me to shake violently. I couldn't handle it anymore and I started running towards him full speed. Sam turned around when he felt my presence, but it was too late for him. I jumped over him and in less than a second we both shifted and began to fight against each other. I don't care about anything right now, I just have one idea in my mind, and I know Sam is thinking the same thing I am; kill.

It was about time for them to fight against each other, who do you want to win? Is someone going to intervene or they are going to fight to death? Where Leah went? Find out and tell me your predictions with a REVIEW, don't be shy! Have a nice day!
