Chapter 2
Leah POV
I was leaning against the outside wall of the movie theatre, repetitively sucking a heart shaped red lolli-pop to try and calm myself down; what if Jacob didn't show? No, he wouldn't stand me up, he was nicer than that!
'Hey, Lee!' He called, and I sighed with relief, turning to see him walking towards me. He was wearing a tight fitting gray tee, with black denim jeans and raggedy sandals. Several girls around were eyeing him up obviously, and looking at me jealously – oh if only they knew! Knew that he was a werewolf.... and that he wasn't really going out with me, it was more of a sympathy gig.
'Hey, Jake,' I smiled, as he reached me and hugged me awkwardly, clearly unsure of what the occasion was really for. I hugged him back encouragingly, smirking at some of the girls over his shoulder, unable to resist.
'What do you wanna see?' He asked when they broke apart, looking up at the listing. 'Death is Passion? God, that sounds depressing! Er...L-O-V-E, That's the Way it's Not Meant to Be? I hate films at the minute.'
'What about Cafe Love? I heard it's quite funny.'
'You, Leah Clearwater, want to see a Rom Com?'
'Sure, why not? You game?'
'Yeah, I guess,' he shrugged, laughing. 'Don't worry, I'll pay!' He added when I took out my wallet. 'What do you want to eat?' He asked when we were inside, and amongst the crowd of excited teenagers.
'Extra large toffee popcorn!' I said loudly, over the din, and he pushed his way through the people, a head taller than them, dragging me by the hand. He didn't feel overly warm to me, but everyone that he nudged turned around with wide eyes, and I knew that he would be a hundred and ten degrees.
Jacob POV
I had never seen Leah look so pretty – so girly. She was wearing a pink dress that contrasted beautifully with her deeply tanned skin, and there were deep red flowers dotted upon it. She was wearing clean sandals, and her nails were painted a pearly pink; even her hair was styled, knotted on the back of her head in an elegant twist.
When I pulled her through the crowd in the theatre, I couldn't help but relish the feeling of her hand and the filthy looks people were shooting me. My mind was on Renesmee, back at the Cullens' house, but my senses were on Leah, and I was responding a little more than I had hoped to being with her – it was supposed to be a friendly outing, spending some time together, since our pack was less close than it had been during the battle. But still, it felt like a little more to me (and I had to be sure she wouldn't notice).
'So...' I said as we walked into the screen and took our seats. We seemed to, unnervingly, be surrounded by couples. 'How are you... at the minute?'
'We only saw each other earlier,' she said, raising her eyebrows.
'I know,' I said quickly, 'just... in general recently... I've been at the Cullens' so much that we haven't really talked much.'
'Yeah, you're like a vampire now. You stink of them.'
I winced, grimacing, 'sorry. It's just, you know... Renesmee.'
'And Bella,' she reminded me, making me clench my jaw, because deep down I knew that it was true. I loved Renesmee, but I would never cease to love Bella, never. But I would let her be happy with Edward, I owed her that much.
'Fine,' I sighed, 'yes, I like seeing Bella too.'
'Excuse me, some of us are trying to watch the film!' A person hissed from behind us, and without bothering to turn around, I stuck my finger up at him over my shoulder. Leah giggled, and I grinned widely.
'That was fun,' Leah smiled when we had left the theatre.
'Yeah,' I agreed.
'Especially when you gave that guy the finger!'
'Well, it's not like he owns the theatre, right?' I laughed, as we started off down the road together.
'Exactly,' she giggled, 'the film was good too.'
'Yeah, and the popcorn.'
'Yeah, that was the best bit!'
We stopped on the empty road a couple of streets from her house, were a fork led off to my own. 'Well, this is my stop,' I smiled awkwardly.
'Yeah... I'll... er, maybe see you later.'
I nodded, unsure of whether to hug her or not. She leaned in, and for a second I wanted to press my lips to hers, and, both acting on instinct, we kissed awkwardly. She jumped back, shaking her head. 'That did not just happen!' She gaped, before turning and stumbling away, leaving me staring with wide eyes.
'Shit,' I groaned, slumping down the road to my house and kneading my forehead with my fingers.
Leah POV
I jumped violently when my phone rang, and scrambled across my bed covers to grab it. I heard my mom wake up next door, groaning slightly and climbing out of bed, and as I flipped open my phone I matched her sound. 'What, Sam?'
'We've caught a scent.'
'Vampire?' I yawned – I had been reading, but about to go to bed.
'No.'
What, then?' I asked in surprise.
'Werewolf.'
'A new one?'
'More like a new pack.'
'What?' I stood up, finding a pair of very short denim shorts and tugging them on, balancing my phone between my ear and shoulder.
'A new pack of wolves around Forks,' Sam sounded worried for once.
'Well have you told the Cullens?' I demanded, pulling a white shirt over my head and putting on some old white flip-flop sandals.
'No, why?' He asked dumbly.
'Because the pack are probably here to kill them!'
'Oh, right! Can you get over there to tell them? Or phone them at least?'
'Sorry, Sam, I don't have leeches on speed dial.'
'Then get over there!'
'I only take orders from Jacob, Sam, you know that,' I said coolly – when would he get it into his thick head that I wasn't going back to his pack again.
'Please, Lee-Lee.'
'FINE!' I growled, stumbling out into the hall and jumping over the little balcony to the ground floor, running to the front door.
'Leah?'
'Mom?'
'Leah?'
'Sam?'
'Sam?'
'Mom?' I ended up so confused that I shut my phone and turned to my mom, who was standing upstairs and leaning over the indoor balcony.
'Leah, where are you going?'
'We've got a situation,' I sighed, 'nothing big – just routine,' I lied.
'Well... be careful,' she whispered.
'I will,' I smiled, 'Oi, Seth!' I added in a shout, 'get your furry butt down here will you!'
'What?' He mumbled sleepily, walking out of his bedroom and squinting down at me.
'You're friendly with the Cullens, right? Well, get round there and tell them they're in big trouble – that there're more werewolves in town, and probably killer werewolves.'
'And where are you going?' he yawned.
'I'm going to find Sam,' I said with clenched teeth, 'and then we're going to go find these new werewolves and get them off our patch!'
'I thought you said it was just routine?' Mom said desperately, 'can't Seth go instead?'
'What, because he's a guy, mom? He's younger than me! I'll be fine,' I turned and walked out of the front door, slamming it behind me and bursting into wolf form as I ran down the street.
Feeling instantly as though a sudden weight had been lifted off my shoulders, I ran freely and fast towards the forest, starting to hear the thoughts of Jacob in my mind. It would be easier to co-ordinate if I could hear Sam as well, but since I had become a member of Jacob's pack, I hadn't been able to hear the others; instead, I had to listen to everything that Sam said second hand through Jacob's mind (I guess Alphas get free call time even to other networks).
Yo, Lee, Jacob said, and I knew he'd be grinning. Did we get you up?
No, I answered coolly, but tell Sam he's a git, and that I sent Seth instead!
He says fine, but that you should do what he says every once in-
His thoughts were cut off as I felt something heavy strike me from the side, and I smashed to the ground with a sickening crack. Everything hurt as I rolled over, and looked up into the black eyes of a huge blue-black wolf.
Go on....reviewww!
