Hey everyone, I'm back with another. I gotta say I am astounded at the number of people who have added this to their favs and are following it. You readers rock!

Okay not gonna keep ya long, have at it. This is a shorter chapter than the others but it works out pretty well.

Not like I gotta say it but just in case, I don't own these characters, SM does, I'm just playing with em. See ya at the bottom.

Chapter 14

Previously:

"Umm Le Le, how did you just slap Jake and not break your hand" Sam asked and I watched Leah turn pale.

"Umm, not sure, just stronger I guess" she stammered and I narrowed my eyes. Something didn't feel right and then my mind did that hazy thing again where I see stuff no one else can see. I saw two wolves standing in place of Jake and Leah. Jake's wolf I was familiar with but the other wolf was a beautiful white and just slightly smaller to Jake's wolf.

"She's a wolf" I stated.

"No way" Paul shouted and Leah shook in fright and sat down heavily.

"It's true okay. It happened when I was away. A woman came to the reservation, she had these blood red eyes and flaming red hair. I had heard enough stories growing up to know what she was. It was a frightening scene. She took a young boy into the woods and for some reason I chased her. She knew it and slowed down. In an instant I felt really hot all over and then it was like I wasn't in my body anymore. I saw the fur and the paws but all that registered was that this bitch had to die. She left the boy there, thankfully he had passed out so he never saw what happened and she took off into the woods and I chased after her. I almost had her but she jumped over a ravine. I ran back to the reservation, thank god it was night time and everyone was still near the woods where it happened. I changed back and snuck into my cousin's house buck naked, put some clothes on and then went back to the woods and found the boy and brought him back out. Everyone asked what happened to the woman and I said I didn't know only that she left the boy alone.

While everyone called me a hero and thanked me there was an elder there who kept looking at me strangely. A few days later the red haired witch showed again and I chased her away again only to have the elder waiting outside the woods behind my cousin's house. He waited for me to change back and I thanked god that I had thought to bring some extra clothes and then told me the same stories I had forgotten about here. He explained to me what was happening, apparently it was common back in the old days for the members of the Quileutes to change into wolves. He wasn't one apparently his great great great grandmother was married to one and his family told tales of the great wolf that guarded the family. The way they described him, I think it might have been your great grandfather Jake. They didn't know his name only that he was a great warrior and could howl at the moon.

I thought I was the only one really, cursed to be a wolf for the rest of my days. It wasn't until I came back and saw the way the guys acted that I realized it had happened here as well. Jake you didn't just imprint on me. I imprinted on you too" Leah confessed and there was a collective gasp from the group.

"Well hot damn, a lady wolf. Can we see it Leah?" Quil hollered and Jake smacked him

"What the fuck was that for?" he asked

"For being a douche and the only one who is gonna see it first is gonna be me. She can show you lugs after" Jake said puffing out his chest and led Leah into the woods.

They were gone a while, like so long that I finally got fed up standing up that I went and and sat to the table with the rest of the guys, so long that the food was almost all gone. Just as I was getting worried they both came out of the woods dressed but Jake's shirt was gone and Leah had branches in her hair and both had stupid grins on their face and my face flamed when I realized that I looked the same way this morning.

The boys were all grinning like idiots and pointing while cracking jokes like 12 year olds. There were bets made, like who pinned who, did they do it "doggy style" who was the bitch. Paul really needs to keep him mouth shut. As soon as the comment was made Leah burst into a wolf and pinned Paul to the ground. She was so much bigger than him and apparently what she said went because Paul just layed there and whimpered.

The hush that fell over the group was astounding and I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty she was. I found all the wolves beautiful and Leah was beautiful as a human but she was stunning as this great white wolf.

I saw Jake shaking, no doubt he was angry and wanted to defend his mate and I figured this was supposed to be a happy occasion and I better put a stop to it.

"Enough Jake" I yelled as the green light shot out of my fingers and he was raised in the air.

I heard growling and saw Leah's wolf lunge for me but I put her in the air too along side her mate.

"Now lassie, relax, I would never hurt Jake but all this growlin and fightin needs to end right now. I won't tolerate all this fighting when it could put others in danger. Now I'm gonna put ya both down as long as you promise to behave" I scolded and they both nodded.

I let them down slowly and Jake covered Leah with a nearby blanket as she phased back which was pretty cool. It was like that scene from Shrek where she changes, there was a bright light and then she was just there and draped the blanket around her like a toga, she was still gorgeous but looked a little freaked out. Something told me that Jake didn't mention what I was yet.

"You know you're scary as hell right?" Quil nudged me and I shocked him

"Umm, can someone please tell me what's going on. What is she?" Leah said nervously.

"Dunna be scared Lass, I'm just a normal girl with some ahhh, interesting abilities" I said

"Interesting abilities, yeah if you call being a super strong witch, who make dogs fly, shocks people, throw fireballs and oh let's not forget the whole freaky control over the weather, yeah we can call that interesting abilities" Sam chuckled and Leah's jaw dropped.

"A witch?" she yelled

"Umm yeah" I shrugged, not really seeing the big damn deal anymore.

"It's fine Le Le. She can burn vampires in a blink, she keeps Paul in line and let's not forget what she did for Emily" Jake said as he wrapped his arms around her which then lead to the discussion of what really happened to Emily and what happened in the kitchen that day.

"Hold up. Let me get this straight. You're a witch who can actually kill vampires" she said

"Umm and I maybe kinda might be the future queen of the supernatural world" I mumbled hating the attention and the fact that apparently no one knew that part since they all had their jaws open and the image of dogs with their tongues hanging out came to mind.

"Holy Shit!" Embry yelled

"It's not that big of a deal lad" I pouted

"Friggin cool though" he said while he gave me a noogie and I zapped him.

"Bella, for fuck's sake would you quit with the damn shock therapy. You know too much of that shit could cause someone to piss their pants?" Embry wailed

"Well maybe ya shouldn't piss me off so much! A wee bit of moisture in yer knickers might straighten ya up" I laughed and the rest to the pack joined in while Embry pouted but smiled at me.

"Umm question" Leah piped up. "Here we go" I thought, knowing exactly what the question was.

"What's up with the accent, sounds Irish" she said. Bingo!

"Me family is Irish and apparently it's the O'Quinn's side comin through whenever I do a wee bit a magic. No worries it'll fade in a wee bit" I told her and she seemed satisfied but leery of me.

"The red head must be the same one we've been after" Quil stated and I had all but forgotten the vampire she mentioned.

"Victoria" I stammered as they all looked at me and I told em what really happened last year in Phoenix.

"Wow, that's fucked up. So she wants you, to get back at the Cullens for killing her scumbag of a boyfriend" Sam stated.

"In a manner of speaking yeah" I said.

"Well I pity the leech if she gets near you. You're scarier, and I mean that in the nicest way possible so dont' shock me again okay" Paul said and we all laughed.

Deep down I was terrified. Victoria was a viper, cunning and smart. She had been able to outrun the wolves and had no issue with showing herself to a bunch of humans.

If she kept it up the Volturi would become involved and I really didn't want to see them again so soon. This time I may just might set em all on fire and be done with it.

"So Bells, when's the big day?" Emily asked

"Oh god, I have nar idea, we only just got engaged, I'd rather be rid of the red haired demon first before I think about wedding dates and all that stuff" I told her

"Okay lads, and lassies, I'm gonna head out, Edward should be back now" I told em.

"Bella, maybe you should wait till he calls, I don't think it's a good idea for ya to leave by yourself with that bloodsucker creeping around" Jake said and my fingers flared.

"What are ya saying lad?" I asked and he put his hands up.

"Nothing it's just that well. You're right, ya can take care of yourself. Still doesn't mean I don't worry so do me a favor and text me when ya get home" he asked as he hugged me tightly and I promised and with a final wave I left.

I texted Edward to let him know I had left and that I'd see him later on and drove home.

When I got home I noticed the cruiser was home and figured my dad got off early so I walked in expecting to see my dad on the couch but he wasn't there and the tv was blaring. I walked into the kitchen, there was glass all over the floor and the fridge was left opened. I called out to him but no one responded. Then I heard gun shots.

"What the hell?" I saw the back door opened and raced out to find my dad shooting at the woods.

"Da, what the hell are you doing" I shouted.

"Bella, get back" he shouted and then like a snake, she crept out of the woods. Victoria. Her hair was still as red as ever, her eyes crazed and there was a smile on her face when she saw me.

"Aww Bella, so good of you to join us. I planned to take your dad to lure you out but you've saved me the trouble" she sneered and in an instant she had my dad by the throat, his gun was shattered on the ground.

"Let him go Victoria" I yelled.

"I don't think so. He smells really good and it's been a while since I had a meal, but I will make a trade. Meet me at the old mill in Port Angeles tomorrow night. Bring your Edward and I may just let daddy here live" she cackled and left with my dad.

I fell to the ground sobbing. I could have saved him, I could have destroyed her, but I just froze. How could I have let this happened?

"Peeks out from behind computer" Sorry, sorry, sorry! I had no intentions of having a cliffie but it just sounded so good.

Okay so I hope that this answers the question on how Leah became a wolf. I know in the books she and Seth became wolfs after their dad dies and the vampires get the whole gene stirred up but I thought that this was better, you let me know what you think.

Okay that's enough from me, the next chapter is in the works, I'm hoping to have it up soon. I know that updates are few and far between so bare with me, RL is crazy with work and I'm busy with betaing for another author but this story is far from done and Blood Trails is just getting started so stayed tuned for more.

I'm out, remember to review and thanks again for reading.
