Leah

I was at the park with Matthew. I was enjoying our mom and son time. This was the moment I got to enjoy and relax. "Mommy look I'm a pirate" Matthew said.

I laughed "Yes you are a very handsome pirate I might add" Just then I remembered something. I never locked my car.

"Matthew, stay right there mommy will be right back" I ran as fast as I could to the parking lot. My 'mom' hormones were screaming at me to hurry back to Matthew. While in there I got our lunch box too. Once I came back I didn't see Matthew in the same spot.

"Matthew" I said…suddenly I became panic "MATTHEW"

"MOMMY LOOK" I turned around and saw a guy leaning towards Matthew giving him an object.

"HEY GET AWAY FROM MY SON" I pushed the old man with full force and he fell to the ground. "What the hell do you're think you're doing. Give me that Matthew"

Matthew sunk his head and handed me the object. It was a charm… a wolf charm.

"Who are you and why did you give this to my son" I asked.

The man got up and looked at me. He didn't say anything he just stared until minutes later when he finally said: "You're the daughter of Sue Clearwater. It is a complete honor"

"How do you know my parents?"

The man laughed "I'm closer to you and your parents then you think"

"What does that mean?"

He leaned in my ear and whispered "We're watching you" in a peaceful tone.

I tensed and held my sons hand closer to mine. "Who are you?"

The man came closer "My name is Amos. I was sent here from your father to keep a close eye on you"

I snorted "Then why couldn't he just watch over me himself"

"He has much business to attend at the moments. But Sarah sends her love"

Okay now this man was freaking me out "Stay away from me and my family" I said and walked away.

"You'll be visited by them very soon, Leah"

I turned around and to give him a glare but he wasn't there. I walked even faster and buckled Matthew in. "Mommy are you mad at me"

"No I'm not but sweetie you mustn't talk to strangers"

"Sorry" He said sinking his head again. I sighed.

"Look at me"

He brought his head up. It was amazing at how much he looked like me. "What's wrong"

A tear escaped his eye and he shrugged. "Mommy loves you"

When I said that he brought his hands out to hug me and I hugged him tight. "I'm not mad at you, Matthew. I just want you to be safe okay?" I wiped his tear away. "If anything happened to you or your sisters I don't know what I'd do" I kissed his head and started the car.

"Okay off to Aunt Rebecca's" I said. Lord knows I need to catch up with my girl and get my mind off my parents, and that strange man.

Marissa

"Urge I hate you" Mia yelled at me.

"What did I do"

"Just stay out of my way, your ruining my life"

"Mia I 'm sorry, whatever I did, I'm sorry. What happened? It use to be Mia and Marissa"

Mia continued to look at herself the bathroom mirror. "What happened? You started to be a loser. That's what happened? Why can't you just be like us and fit in"

I pushed her out the mirror and she pushed back "I don't want to fit in. Maybe I'd rather be alone then to be around a group of people who bully others around, Maybe I'd rather be alone than to treat people poorly, and maybe I'd rather be by myself then to go home and think about whether the group I hang out with likes me or not"

"That's ridiculous my friends love me"

"Oh yeah, because friends are always suppose to tell you how stupid you were" I snorted sarcastically.

She dabbed lip gloss on her mouth "There just playing Marissa, gosh"

"Oh really, because playing around means gossiping behind your back"

That caught her attention and she sunk her head down "What a re you talking about"

"One day I was in here and I heard your friends talking about you"

"What? What did they say?"

I shook my head "I don't want to ruin your day, Mia. You don't deserve it"

She stomped her foot "YES I DO MARISSA" She paced back and forth

"Just tell me, I deserve it. Get back at me, Marissa, stop being such a push over"

"I'm not being a push over, I just don't want to hurt your feelings"

"Why are you so…urge nice" She folded her arms in disbelief.

I walked up to her "Because your my sister Mia"

Minutes passed by and they stood there for what seemed like forever. Suddenly Mia started to cry "I don't deserve it, the way I treated you"

"Its okay-"She cut me off.

"Don't you dare say its okay, because it's not...Your right, your my sister, but at least get back at me"

"and what is that going to do?"

"You'll get revenge"

"You should know by know from hanging with the 'popular' crew that revenge doesn't solve a thing"

She sunk to the ground, placed her head in her hands and began to sob "I'm so sorry Marissa…I really am"

I crawled down beside her "I forgive you sister"

"Why? I don't deserve it"

"Because you're my sister"

Mia lunged for me and I hugged her back "I promise Marissa, I'll make it up to you. From now on it's me and you again. This time will be different, and this time nothing and no one will break us apart"

Leah

I sauntered the calm mellow wind breathing back at me. "You know what?"

"What" Rebecca said.

"If I could had a choice to do everything all over again… I wouldn't"

"Why"

"Why should I? I know I've been through a lot of stuff but I just couldn't imagine doing EVERYTHING again. Maybe I would redo some choices but not my life"

Rebecca smiled "So whats the deal about this guy that gave Matthew the wolf charm"

"I don't know. I don't really want to think about that right now"

"Are you going to tell Paul"

"Of course, we tell each other anything. Besides if this guy is trying to do harm to my family we have to be on alert"

"Leah" Rebecca said.

"Yes"

"Would you just stop"

"Stop what"

"Girl, do you hear yourself"

I stood out of my chair and that's when Clair and Kim came out "You always sound like people are after you"

"Well people are after me"

Kim grabbed my hands in hers "Honey it's been years, You killed Demetri and Caius 2 years ago. Hell you even witnessed there body burn. Aro never cared about you and that leaves well no one. Alec's dead, that other chick is dead, I mean what left?"

Now that I thought about it they were right "I'm just…I guess I'm just so use to having to look back and protect my family all the time"

Clair put her alcohol smoothie down "And that's okay, but honey, everything is done. Your past is long gone and there's nothing you need to worry about"

"I understand that but Clair you should have seen this guy, it was as if he knew me, in fact he did! He said my name like he knew me forever"

"What did he say before you walked away"

"Something about my parents visiting me"

The girls sat silent "Sounds like this guy doesn't want to hurt you just wants to warn you"

"About what? I don't even know this guy"

"Look at you Leah. What are you doing right now?"

I thought for a second to search for the right word "Planning?"

"No. You are worrying. Do you think your parents want you to worry all the time"

"I'm sorry but I still have a little protective issue at the moment. Because when I was kidnapped it seemed as if nobody protected me." I said angrily and got up.

"Leah" They called after me. I picked up a sleeping Matthew and buckled him in his car seat. "Come on don't be like this Leah we understand"

"No! I don't think you do. But let me tell you about what I understand, I understand that everything's changed. I understand that the people who are after me are dead. I have children now, my children mean everything to me, seeing that guy today…the way he was with Matthew reminded me of a few things from my past. So excuse me if I'm overreacting, but I have every damn right to be. I'll protect my children with my life, even if that means giving it up" I shut the door and sped out of the driveway.
