A/N: Short chapter by my standards. Sorry for taking so long for this chapter, trying to get Mass Effect 2 out of my system. Thinking of a story for that, awesome game. You should seriously play the first if you want to get the feel of it though.

Summary for this chapter, Leah finally decides to give Nicole a chance and Alice has a vision about Leah and Nicole's blooming relationship. I'd saw this is about the ending of the story. Again character death warning for the ending, a few of my many OCs are going to die.

There are always typos. I'll fix them… after Mass Effect 2.

Chapter Eleven

Leah glanced around the cafe. The Vasvi table was empty and rumors shot around the building. Raven had told them the Pride took a day off to vent steam. But that didn't include Nicole. Nicole was no where to be seen. She was a little taller than the average girl, but what really stood out was her dark sea green hair against her russet skin.

They missed first and second period. Apparently Nicole slept through all her classes. Bella and Rosalie had to force Nicole to get dress for P.E. and during the game of Dodge Ball she'd get hit and walked to the side to sleep.

Leah sniffed. She didn't smell that ocean breeze and forest sent. Instead she just got cancer from all the hormones, body order, and food.

"Leah." It was Jasper. Leah didn't look back at the table but Jasper continued anyway, "Go look for her. I've getting some angry feelings from a werewolf."

"How do you know it a werewolf?" Leah asked.

"I can't control that emotion. Find her before she hurts someone."

Leah scoffed. This was because Nicole was her imprint, and nothing else. Still Leah stood up and walked out of the cafeteria. Her heart didn't hurt when she's away from her imprint. There was no impulsive need to with her. The only need Leah felt was the need to beat Nicole up, she's sure that didn't count.

"Listen. Guys, just leave me alone." It Nicole's voice. So easy to tell being a low soft French accented. Leah turned the corner, Nicole being surrounded by four football jocks. "I'm really tired…"

"Come on. Just answer a question." One of them spoke up. They leaned to close, one arm against the wall and blocking her way out. "You taken or not?"

"No I'm single."

"Question two." Another asked, leaning to Nicole's other side. Leah didn't like it. Guys like these think they were every girl's dream. And don't take no for an answer. "Ever fucked."

"No. Virgin. My religion looks down on any form of self pleasure."

"Nicole!" Leah immediately stepped forward. Idiot, couldn't she smell that the guys were hitting on her? It instantly grew once they heard she was completely innocent. She shoved the boy in front to the side, and yanked Nicole forward. "Come on, you idiot."

Nicole groaned but didn't say anything else, or fight her. Leah scowled, she hated boys like that. Drooling and fantasizing with every women they see. She couldn't understand why people always think about sex. She kept on walking until Leah couldn't smell the four jocks anymore. Then she spun to Nicole.

"Are you stupid?!" Leah scowled. Nicole winced, and Leah easier the grip on her wrist. Like being forced to save a women she hate wasn't bad enough, Nicole almost set herself up for a possible rape. "Don't you know better to stay away from that kind of guys? Couldn't you smell them!!"

"Um… no." Nicole muttered. Leah paused, staring at Nicole's face. She looked tired and half awake, just leaning against the lockers. "Werewolves turn more human the closer the new moon gets. My power is more than half cut and… Why would I stay away from those boys? They remind me of Raymundo."

"How do those idiots remind you of him?"

"Outgoing? Blunt. Forward." Nicole listed. Leah growled, rubbing her temples.

"They wanted to fuck you." Leah growled. Nicole's eyes widen slightly her mouth falling into an 'Oh'. "How can you not know!? Your what 30!!"

"Ah…" Nicole tilted her head. "What do you think of me? What are you imagining of my past?" Leah stopped mid-snarl. She couldn't answer. She didn't care for Nicole's past and only wanted to get away from her like she never imprinted on the women.

Nicole's eyes only closed for a second, head against the lockers. "My time in… society was very short. Three years with Rahne and another year without her."

Only four years of… Living in society?

"The years after I spent studying magic. Me and Alexia went out occasionally. Surfing, buying a few things, watching movies. " Nicole continued. Her voice drifted off, "That's why Nicolas sent me school. He said something about me being deprived."

"You are deprived." Leah stated. She crossed her arms and stared at Nicole. Her view on the witch just flipped. She wasn't human. Even her morals and norms weren't human. "Your like an alien."

"I'm born in Hawaii, not in France." Leah shook her head, that wasn't the alien she was thinking of. She looked back at Nicole to find her sinking to the floor. yawning. "Goddess I'm tired."

"Sleep in class." Leah sighed. She pulled Nicole to her feet and pushed her towards their sixth period class.

Raven placed her blood packs in the fridge, away from Renesmee's treat. She listed the chores. "Sneak into the house and steal out things. Sneak out a few blood packs. Sneak out my cloths… I still need to get Nicole's journal…" The door open and Raven walked to the kitchen doorway. She saw a sleeping Nicole being cared by Leah. The wolf's face was rather confused as she carried Nicole into the house.

"Nicole must have used up to much energy for her magic." Raven explained. Leah only glanced at her then walked to the guest room. "Your still confused." Raven said following Leah. "I'm here to explain so your question would be…"

"I'm over 70 years old and here I'm acting like I'm a teenager…" Raven hear the wolf mutter softly. So soft she thought Leah was talking to herself. Must have been because she shook her and looked at Raven, "Can you explain the mage culture. Nicole told me she barely lived in society."

Raven thought back for a moment. She only remembered being with Nicole for her last 3 years of high school. After that the mages didn't really go out other than work, shopping and movies.

"I'd use the term distance or deprived." Raven leaned against the doorway. "The mages are like a person with amnesia." Leah's face didn't change, but her eyes harden slightly. Raven stared into those brown eyes and continued. "They are trying to recover something that may never come back by using studying what's left. They put so much time into it eventually becomes years and gradually distance themselves from society."

"The mages lost their history?"

"The mages had not history to start with." Raven shook her head. She walked to Nicole, her hands brushing through the sea green locks. "They lost how to control their magic. They spend most of their lives studying and experimenting to figure out how to control it." She finished, staring at Leah. Her eyes didn't leave Nicole's sleeping form. They were conflicted.

"She also said that her religion looks down on any form of self pleasure."

"That…" Raven's mind slowed. She didn't know much about their religion. Only that they worship a Goddess and don't have multiple gods. "I think they think of sex as a physical attachment... Something that blinds their eyes to truth…" She felt her face frown. Her eyes narrowing as she looked at the tattoo on Nicole's neck.

It's overall design was like the water. Flowing and crashing, intertwining with everything. Nicolas' was the opposite, like lightning. Sharp turns flaring out over his body and far from each other. Like water and lightning, they would never be allowed to touch.

Raven shook the though out of her head and ruffled Nicole's hair. "I need to sneak more of our stuff out. Mind if I use your car?"

"Go ahead." Leah nodded. She glanced at the Nicole body, before turning away.

Dear Journal.

Today is August 18. It's been a… three days since Nicole and Raven moved in with us. Nicole is… a dork, nerd. Very, very, surprising. She spends most of her time reading and writing theories. Sometimes practicing magic –Very, very cool. She can make very nice cloths and surprising very fashionable! Even if she dresses boyish. A tie looks very good on her… Alice was really happy. Rosalie started challenging her.

Raven is… calm, not exactly kind. She often bullies Nicole into behaving. She explain a lot of things and Nicole makes a lot more scene. She even told us that the Olivier and Monica threaten to cut her head off if they saw her before the New Moon. Something about them being over protecting of their favorite puppy..

Anyway, the week has been fun. I was so glad when Raven was able to get Nicole to stop asking such personal questions from mom. It was kind of creepy! I do not want to here about my mother's sex life. But other than that it was fun. I notice is that Niki likes to show off and is a flirt! I don't know if she does it on purpose but she gets so gentle and intimate with Rahne.

Poor Rahne. It's so obvious she checks Niki out when she's not looking. I think she still loves her. I wonder how the wolves are taking it. Rahne's ex-girlfriend being imprinted by her friend. And the person a mage-werewolf hybrid. But Leah…

Leah… I think… No I hope she's jealous. She's always at a distance watching her. I don't know what happen on Monday but they've been getting along. Not quite friendly but getting close. I noticed that they like to watch each other.

I really want this to goes well for Leah. Yes, she's a bitch and has every right. It's been really hard for her. Watching everyone die around you. It's…. I think it'll be bitter sweet –or just very bitter.

"Rea!!" Raven calmly turned around. Alice glaring at her from the front door. "What are you doing!? That's Nessie Journal!"

"I know." Raven gave a nodded, lightly closing the book. "I just finished. Her opinion on the Pride is quite… unexpected of a vampire." Alice's frown deepened.

"You and Nicole don't understand privacy!!"

"When everything is up for study nothing is a secret. Bella's lucky I'm here or Nicole wouldn't stop asking her about sex with Edward." Raven shrugged. She calmly flipped to the next page, Her eyes drifting across the sentences until it was ripped out of her hand.

"You and Nicole-" Alice's immediately stopped. Raven was sitting on the couch then she was staring at the black sky. The night so dark her eyes could barely see the clouds in the sky.

Splash! Splash!

Alice took a deep breath. She didn't smell any water or the salt. Still the waves kept on crashing. Alice listen harder, focusing her mind and hoping to clear the vision. Instead there was a glow. In the darkness two bodies appeared on the beach. Both their backs were to her, but Nicole's dark sea green hair was a give away.

"Nicole." It was Leah's voice. And from the sound it was she was curious. Not annoyed with the wit- mage like usual. "What are you-"

"Come on!!" From the darkness Nicole tugged Leah's hand. A large smile on Nicole's face as she pulled Leah to the water. "It's a New Moon!!"

"Don't werewolves only like Full Moon?"

"Yes. As a werewolf I hate New Moons." Nicole let Leah's hand slip from hers. It was so gentle, almost like lovers. "During this time, we are human. We are weak and at the mercy of vampires even you wolves." She strode to the water until the waves just cover her feet.

Leah eyes was on Nicole. It wasn't hard, it wasn't annoyed or intense. It was patient and waiting.

"But for me, during the New Moons. I can see everything so clearly." She spoke softly, her voice in awe as she stared at the stares. "I can feel everything! My mind isn't clouded, no impulse drives me. During the New Moon I can feel… Hmhmhm." Nicole shook her head chuckling so soft it was almost a giggle.

"I'm sorry Leah –I'm making no sense."

"So you caught yourself this time." Leah mused. She walked to the edges of the water, "Now get out of the water before you catch a cold."

"I'm a mage." Nicole grunted. She grabbed Leah's arm and pulled her towards the ocean.

"What are you…" Alice would have gasped if she could. Leah's feet didn't hit the water. It stepped onto it. Her body wobbled as her other feet left the ground. "… Wow…"

"Amazing right?" Nicole smirked. She gently pulled Leah further into the ocean. "You know… I wanted to take Rahne dancing on the water. Shame she left before I could perfect this." She smiled sadly, sliding her hand out of Leah's again. She turned her back to Leah and knelt down. Her voice was louder and more casual. "Do you missed it?"

"Miss what?"

"Having someone to hold you and such… I guess expressing your love,"

Leah stared at Nicole's back. Alice noticed something flicker on her brown eyes.

"No comment."

"Oh?" Nicole smiled, twirling around and to a standing position. "Who's the unfortunate boy?" Leah only shook her head. Her lips grew into a gentle smile. "Girl…?" Nicole asked slowly. Leah turned around and started walking away. Nicole's eyes widen, gasping as she quickly trotted along Leah. "Do I know her?"

"Yes. Quite well."

"Rahne! Um… Monica!" Leah kept her mouth shut with a smile. Nicole frowned, walking backwards in front of her. "Pfft! Fine, I'll figure it out sooner or later!"

Alice took a shuddering gasp. Her eyes were wide. It took a moment to realize she was staring at Raven's face. Obviously worried and staring at her.

"Are you okay? Should I call Nicole or Carlisle?"

"No. I just had a vision." Alice shook her head. She took another breath. "A… very surprising one."
