Chapter 15 - Leah
JACOBPOV
I lay down on the cave floor and curled my legs under me. All four of them. Sam, Leah, and Paul curled up around me.
My choice. I told myself. This was my choice.
I sighed and the dirt around me scattered. Leah entered my thoughts.
It hurts doesn't it?
What does?
When the one you love chooses someone else.
Leah loved Sam, and Sam choose Emily. I hadn't thought about that in a while.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I was shocked. Leah was usually sour and mean.
Thanks. I'm sorry too.
Thanks.
I guess, in time we have to accept it.
Is there enough time to accept it?
I guess not.
Exactly. We don't have to accept it, but you have to get used to it.
You know what? Your right.
Course I am. I looked over at Leah. A smile stretched across her muzzle. She was staring out into the pitch black night.
It's here. She said suddenly, springing to her feet.
I sniffed the air. She was right. The vampire was back. I barked loudly at the others. They all jumped to attention.
Its back. Paul stated.
Duh. Leah said, padding out into the snow.
The battle was about to begin.
