Paul
Something wasn't right I could feel it, not just about this intruder but back at the bonfire with Leah, It killed me to leave her but I had to do what I had to do to protect her, Whether it was leaving her there or not.
I GOT HER, FULL SPEED AHEAD TO THE RIGHT- Seth hollered.
STAY THERE ON THEIR TAIL AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK-UP- Corin yelled back.
OH SHIT I SEE THEM! THESE SOME SLICK VAMPIRES, PAUL THEIR HEADING BACK TO THE BEACH, TURN I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU-Jake said.
I obeyed hoping that Emily found Leah and took her to the Cullen's like the plan was in the first place.
Leah
I panicked, what the heck was happening. I looked down and I didn't see my feet anymore, just paws. OH MY GOSH PAWS!
I tried to yell for help but all that was coming out was howls and I made a mistake and bumped into a tree to find three Vampire looking people with bloodshot red eyes looking at me in thirst.
The middle one with fiery red hair smiled at me and licked her lips "So you're Leah, Demetri was right, you are a little beautiful thing" her laugh was taunting. I felt myself lowering down and suddenly I was on two feet again, but there was just one problem. I was naked.
I quickly covered myself up with my hands and bent down to run. But the bitch got in front of me and I forgot how fast Vampires actually are.
She grabbed me by the neck and through me down to the floor. Blood seeped out my lip. Shit I was screwed. I tried to think back as a wolf, so I could just run, run as fast as I could out of here.
"PAUL" I tried to call but nothing but blood came out.
The woman lunged and straddled me down the floor "Bitch you got us coming all the way out here looking for you" She slapped me across the face so hard, I felt like something on my flesh cracked and I screamed in agony.
"PLEASE" I tried to scream over her words.
She just laughed "James you ready for her"
A guy with blonde hair bent down and smiled at me "Oh hell yeah, I'm definitely getting my cut. She's a fine piece of ass" He pulled my hair back and bit my cheek lustfully without venom. "Get ready for a interesting feeling" She said. He pushed the girl off me and as I tried to run away he scratched my back and yelled.
He pulled my legs easily towards him and I tried to protest "PLEASE DON'T DO THIS"
But my begs and pleases only made James laugh harder. I heard him unbuckle and unzip his pants with sent me more into panic mode.
"SOMEONE HELP ME" My screams became horse and as soon as I felt that cold tickle enter my hole, a growl came from the back. James looked back quickly hopped off me.
"Who are you" He yelled at the magnificent wolf ahead. The wolf followed by a red and black wolf coming up behind him. The gray wolf lunged for the guy whose name appeared to be James. James was no match for the wolf.
He grabbed his shoulder with those razor sharp teeth and bit off his whole arm. I screamed at the ugly site. I was so scared and not to mention naked. My mind screamed RUN! And that's exactly what I did. I didn't know where I was running too I was just running to somewhere safe.
I looked back and I saw that red haired girl following and I sprinted even farther I looked ahead and BAM! I came in contact so hard with a tree branch, I lost consciousness but not before I could hear the whole of a sweet wolf coming to my rescue.
"It's been hours" I heard a worried voice.
"She'll be fine Paul. She doesn't have any clothes but I did pack some clothes for her on the trip."
I heard a knock at a door which made my head pound even more. "As soon as she wakes up we must leave"
I moaned and I felt a cold rag on my head. "Will be outside Paul" I heard Emily's distant voice and the door close behind her.
"Leah…Leah please tell me you're okay"
My head was pounding so hard a tear escaped my eye "Oh Leah" He got on the bed with me and thank god he had a shirt on.
He kissed my temple and held my hand. That's when I opened my eyes to notice I had some clothes on too thank god again.
"My head-it-"
"Hurts I know just relax"
"Paul" I said and suddenly tears blurred my vision.
"It's okay…I know, I got him and the girl too"
"You were the gray one" I murmured already knowing the answer.
"I told you I'd always be there to protect you and I'm still here. Listen, Leah I know you're in a lot of pain right now but we have to leave"
As soon as he said that I tried to get up out of bed but my head was in so much pain my legs failed me and I almost feel to the floor if it wasn't for those big strong arms to catch me.
"Okay now I know you can't walk" He said. He put my arm around his shoulder and picked me up bridle style and sat on the edge of the bed with me on his lap.
"How long have I been out" I asked with my eyes shut.
"5 hours"
"Where we are going?"
He sighed "I never thought I said this but we're going to the Cullen clan. Now don't be alert when I say their full of vampires" My eyes shot opened and Paul noticed.
"But we can trust them"
I moaned at the pain in my head again "Didn't you say that about Demetri"
He sighed again "I know, but you're going to have to trust me on this one. There the main power source that led me to you"
"How so?"
"One of their daughters has the power to see into the future and sometimes the past"
I didn't say anything. I felt myself being moved and Paul lifting me up off the bed.
"From now on Leah, I'll process I'll never let you out of my sight again, no matter what" I felt his kiss softly on my lips which woke me up instantly.
He placed me on the counter and I watched as he took a Advil out, grabbed a bottle of water and handed it over to me. I took the pill and gulped it down. "Oh my gosh" I said after minutes passed my. Pain was slowly subsiding…it wasn't gone but it was so much better. I touched my head and I felt a big huge not and a white bandage covering it.
Paul dropped his hand on each side of thighs and looked at me "Do you think you can walk?"
I smiled "Absolutely not"
He beamed "I knew you would say something like that"
"Paul, Leah we've got to go. Everything's pact, food, and everything. It's a 2 hour drive so let's go." Suddenly I noticed the outfit I was in, a white and Beige tank, blue jean shorts, and black flats. I was still wearing my necklace. I grabbed it and smiled.
"Whenever you're away I always look at this" He smiled.
"I'm glad I got it then" He said picking me up gently and placing my feet gently on the floor. I held his hand and he squeezed it reassuring me that he had me. I walked outside the house and blocked the lights from the car out my face. "Okay that hurts" Paul grabbed my hand again and led me down the stairs.
30 minutes passed by which caused me more time to think about what happened yesterday night. It was still dark outside but why wouldn't it be sense it was 4 o'clock in the morning. I couldn't see the mountains nor see, Just trees and more trees.
I phased into a wolf, I almost got raped, I went after Paul…I phased into a wolf, I phased into a wolf, I phased into a FREAKING WOLF!
"Paul" I said.
He continued to look out the window "Paul" I said again and he looked back at me.
"Yes? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I have to talk to you about something"
"Yeah sure what is it?"
"Last night…when I went after you…I…I phased. I don't know how it happened but it did. All I remember is just being so angry that someone could have been hurting you. I don't know right now, I just. I'm still a little shaken from, James"
"Come here" He said unbuckling my seat belt and I moved closer to him. Emily and Sam were to busy to notice because of their deep conversation. He held on his lap and snuggled his nose on my neck and gently kissed it. I giggled at the weird sensation, and I felt him smile.
"I guess this is a bad time to tell you but you'll end up finding out anyway. That red head got away, and we think she's with Demetri. The Cullen house is not far from us as you think but you're scent probably could have attracted them"
"Of course, some of my clothes are still left there; the vampires sniffed them out, as I heard vampires have very strong senses so it's easy they could have found me on the beach"
"Right, Sam says the Cullen's smelled them around their area. Sense you're not there, of course they headed our way, possibly because of your scent. You see, it's a long story but let's just say for now. The Cullen's is when everyone trusted each other but, it wasn't until Aro and his stupid posy came along and fucked everything up. I hate them for turning Demetri into the monster he is today. That day before you left, I saw him looking at you with suspicion in his eyes like he was trying to figure something out…we had to evacuate the woods because there were rumors that there was going to be a big fight between high vampires and the Cullen clan. I remember my dad going off with the Pack to help the Cullen Clans out. My mother had the power to see anything she meditated on. She looked after my dad to make sure he was safe and I saw you. I have no idea why you were there but you were standing next to your dad. Aro whispered something into Demetri's ear. He looked terrified and one of the Cullen's Carlisle screamed 'No' but it was too late. A girl with fiery red air did something that froze every single person on the battlefield. 'Take the girl and I'll spare you're life' was the last thing I heard before my mom passed out, which was a very normal thing for after having such a strong vision"
Wow…Didn't see that coming. I didn't know what to say or how to feel. "The Cullen's are going to help us. I'll think you'll love Edwards and Bella's daughter, Nessie. After all she is Jake's imprint"
I shot my eyes at him "A Vampire and A werewolf together?"
"You're a little late to be shocked" He laughed "That suspicion was solved years ago"
I have no idea why but what he said hurt a little bit. I had been missing for 9 years and I wouldn't know what was happening how it happened. I felt, for a seconds, old or like old news trapped in a briefcase if that made any sense.
Paul brought my chin up "I didn't mean to offend you"
"I'm not offended" I said brushing myself off his lap and putting my seatbelt on. I totally lied. I felt offended there was no doubt, but most of all I was embarrassed and I felt bad.
"YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING" Aro shouted as the memory got deeper.
Alec was on top of me thrusting slow for me to adjust, while I cried and pleaded for him to stop "Not yet baby I'm almost there" I closed my eyes and continued to cry "Look at me" He said. "LOOK AT ME"
Memory goes deeper with Demetri in my room on the edge of my bed. I was so tried I couldn't even see straight "Listen, I know you think like there might be a way out, but there isn't, you belong here and you're staying. There's no escape"
There's no escape
There's no escape
There's no escape
Those words taunted me the rest of the trip. As much as I screamed to myself for them to go away they kept on repeating it's self. I felt like I was going crazy, like I was in a battle with myself. I was going crazy. I'm not going to cry…I'm not going to cry I said trying to convince myself. But it was no use, this emotional pain was to unbearable. I couldn't take it anymore. Alec…Demetri…Aro were all ringing through my head, haunting me, taunting me, hurting me. I CAN'T TAKE IT! I couldn't do this anymore. The only way for Aro to stop this madness and stop with his evil plans to get me back, was for me to give in to what he wanted.
Tears strolled down my eyes and soft weeps came out as I tried my hardest to keep quiet in my little phase but I couldn't.
Emily heard first since Paul took a nap. "Leah honey, are you okay?" She whispered back to me.
Sam announced "We're here" as we were parked out of the biggest mansion I've ever seen in my life (Cullen mansion on my profile)
I tried to get out of my seatbelt but there was no use, I was tired mentally and physically "Help me" I say. Emily finally turns around and looks and me and gasps.
"Oh god" She unbuckled her seatbelt and gets out of the car.
Sam looks back and gives me a look of confusion "Leah? What Happened?"
Suddenly Paul wakes up "Leah? What's wrong with Leah?" Then he looks at me "Leah…What's wrong" He says with authority in his voice.
"Sam unpack the bags, Leah and me are going for a little walk"
"No, Emily please I'm so tired" I whisper. My eyes are stinging from new tears.
"Leah" Paul leans towards me.
"Paul not right now" I say back with just as much authority he had. His expression was now pained and he looked shock at my sudden outburst.
I gave away a sudden bliss inside me and allowed Emily to take my seat belt off. "Leah if this is about what I said before, listen I am truly sorry…just please don't be mad. Tell me what's wrong and I'll make it go away I promise" Paul said running over to my side of the car. Emily placed her hand on his chest. I didn't even look up at him.
"Paul just get the bags okay let me handle this" Paul hesitated and Sam interfered.
"Paul she'll be okay, now come help me with these bags" Paul left reluctantly and Emily brought my chin up.
"Leah" She said rubbing my cheek. "Honey what's wrong"
Suddenly all my emotions feel out, tears still formed and brushed there ways out "I'm not good Emily I'm ju-ust not, I've been beaten and ra-a-ped and I'm tired…I can-t c-a-atch a break I need so-m-m-eone to listen when I say…I'm just tired" I through myy arms up "I hate myself…I hate, hate, hate myself for everything it's my fault. I can't do this alone; I feel so… alone…No one's listening. His voice, their voice are still inside of my head telling me 'There's no escape'…and I'm starting to believe it. Help me, help myself before I crack"
"You are not going to crack you hear me Leah" Emily said. Her sudden rage made me jump back "You Are strong, God didn't put you on this earth for you to give up now. He allows certain things to happen to us to make us stronger. If he takes us then he takes us but in the end we come out with great victory. You have a long and beautiful life ahead of you, you're safe now and that's what matters. Don't you dare let those FUCKERS get inside your head do you hear me?" She brought my chin abruptly to her face "You are stronger than this Leah, you have all the tools you need, and all you have to do is fight. You think you're mom or dad wants to see you down like this. Sure it's okay cry for a minute, but after you're done crying, you get your ass back up again, you got that?"
I didn't answer and she shook me a little "You got that?"
I closed my eyes and took in a long shaky breath "Yeah"
"You are not alone, you have people who love you more than anything, and there is always a way out, do you understand? There's always an escape"
I nodded and she hugged me tight and I held onto her like I was holding on for dear life "You're going to make it Leah, you're strong just like you're mother. You are too young to be tired." She brushed my hair back and I held onto her "I love you Leah, don't let them get inside your head, because you have the power to drive them away. Everything's going to be okay"
I cried into her shoulder. Suddenly my whole world changed from black and white to color. I felt happier and efficient. I noticed something, I was strong. Just like how I remember my mom being at a young age. I did have power, the power of wolfs and god had given me. It was just like I felt her spirit for a second telling me to 'Hold on'.
"Emily, Leah, we're ready" Sam called on the other side of the car.
"We're coming" Emily called. "Come on dear, let's go" She took my hand and led me out the car. She strapped her arms around my waist and used the other one to hold my hand. When we came around the corner Paul continued to give me those sad looks like he knew everything and just wanted to comfort me. But I don't think I wanted his comfort now. I needed Emily at the moment. She made me feel so much better and reminded me of the mothering figure.
When I looked up I felt my mouth dump all the way to the floor, In front of us stood a big family of goddess looking vampires. I've never seen a family like this, so glamorous and beautiful…and above all so freaking pale.
All of them just stood there, frozen, with smiles on their face. A women with auburn hair and topaz eyes followed by a blonde hair man walked up towards us. Sam and Paul smiled and walked up to them too. They gave man hugs towards Carlisle and little hugs towards the woman.
"Carlisle, Esme we would like you to meet Leah" Sam said pointing towards me. I squeezed Emily's hand as all attention was now to me. Basically most of my life living in Volturi I didn't trust vampires, But everyone claims I could trust the Cullen's. I guess I was just a little afraid to trust them, but Emily's words were still in my mind.
You are strong
You are strong
You are strong
I repeated the words over and over to point where I got oblivious to what was going on. I snapped myself back and I noticed the Cullen's coming towards me I back up a little but Emily held me back. "They're our friends Leah"
The middle one danced towards me. She had spiky black hair and very short. She reminded me of the 'pixie' type. The ones you see in those tinker bell shows when you were younger. I can't believe I remember.
"Hi I'm Alice" she said cheerfully. What the heck was she so happy about? She hands out her hand. I took it carefully.
Another one came out "How do you do? I'm jasper" Wow a guy with southern accent, didn't see that one coming. Another three walked up to me. They looked like a family of their own. There was a mother, a father, and I guess a daughter. Maybe this girl was the person Paul was talking about, Nessie.
Whatever it was the lady was looking down at me like I was a piece of crap. The man cleared is throat and gave a smile "Hi I'm Edward, this is my wife Bella and our daughter Renesmee…Nessie for short"
They didn't offer up any hands so I didn't bother to shake theirs. Nessie smiled at me "Hey, I hope you like it here. I think we're probably the only Vampires who allow and like werewolves" She laughed as if it was a joke.
Bella, the mother, grunted "And look where that's gotten us" and she turned away heading inside the house.
"Isabella swan don't you dare open that door" Esme snapped. Damn even I was a little scared at her sudden outburst.
Instantly a blonde haired woman came up to me followed by a man with brown curly short hair. "Hey Rosalie and this is Emmett. That boy over there is our son Mike"
Wow this family didn't look so pleased with me either. I looked over to the son and he gave me a dark smile with a wink. What the hell was that about?
Paul was the only one that noticed and I slightly heard a little growl escape him. Sam gave him a little tap to calm down and so he did.
"Why don't you come in and make yourselves at home" Esme said filling the awkward silence. Emily led me into the house and I was so amazed at how beautiful it all was.
The girl Alice stepped in front of Emily and I "Here I'll show the girls to their rooms, Come on" She ran up the huge.
"Now I hope you don't mind but the parents have a problem with girls and boys being in the same room unless their married. Sam and Emily you're room is right here" She pointed inside a big room next to a glass walkway. I just stared and looked at it.
This family must be rich as hell. How do you make all these freaking designs? I want a house like this one day. It was nothing like the Volturi. As big as this house was it was still nice and homey.
Emily gasped "Wow this is beautiful, I love the color"
Alice smiled "I knew you would. Which is exactly why I did you're room. High five girl" Emily did exactly that.
I yawned and shook myself. I forgot how tired I was. Alice laughed "Looks like someone needs their beauty sleep. Now I had a vision of you and Paul together that I can't really-"
"Whoa. Vision you said?" I said cutting her off.
She nodded with that smile still smacked on her face "That he was you're imprint. So I took the liberty and brought you're rooms together so you're right across from each other. I put you guys next to the pool. We walked over this walkway part of the house. I looked down and found that we were over the pool. We went down a flight of steps and there was towards doors just like she told me across from each other on the side of each door and Paul and I's name.
Well here you are she said opening my door. "You have a panic room" She announced. She went words the bathroom. When I walked in I gasped. "OH MY GOSH"
I had a Jacuzzi in my bathroom! I officially loved this house. I had a Jacuzzi, Bath tub, and a separate glass shower. The ones where glass is built around it and when you use it, in like ten seconds smoke surround it. Thank god my bedroom wasn't that decorative, which I loved. I don't think I could take another surprise for one day. Once Alice showed me the panic room and left to give me some time to myself, I shot down so hard on the bed with a smile on my face.
I stared at the ceiling for minutes and minutes, just time for myself. "I am strong" I said out loud.
Suddenly I felt myself dazing off…dazing off into the clouds, through the heavens, and off away into my imagination. My eyes were getting heavy and I before I went off into unconsciousness. Those words still stuck to me like glue. I AM strong.
Please review...It mean so much:)
