TWISTED

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight but I wish I did.

Author's Note: I hope you are enjoying my story so far, this next chapter is going to be a but of a filler so I apologize for it being so short. That's why the name of this chapter is the Calm before the Storm, basically it's what happens when she meets Leah and Seth and leads up to an unexpected visit in the next chapter.

Chapter 6- The Calm Before the Storm

Alyssa spent the next 2 weeks wrapped up in the life that she was starting in Forks. She spent a lot of time with Bella and Charlie and even more in La Push with Paul and the rest of the pack. She had never felt the way she felt for Paul for ANYONE in her entire life and she was glad that she made the decision to leave North Carolina when she did. She was a bit nervous though when Paul called and said that he was coming to pick her up so that she could meet Seth and Leah but he reassured her that everything would be all right.

Alyssa spent a little time fixing her hair and makeup and picking out an outfit when she heard a knock at her bedroom door announcing Paul's arrival. "Lyssa baby, you look amazing as always." he said after she opened the door to let him in "Are you ready?" She nodded before he took her hand leading her out to his car and said "Don't be nervous, Leah can be a bitch at times but she has her reasons. See the truth is that Sam and Leah used to be engaged and when Emily came to town to visit Leah Sam imprinted on her immediately and left Leah. Emily didn't want to hurt Leah so she tried her best to avoid Sam for a long time but in the end the imprint won. Leah avoided Sam after that and when she phased for the first time she was pissed because with Sam being the Alpha until Jake is ready, she had to take orders from him"

They drove to La Push and parked outside of a house a few houses down from Paul's and got out. Paul took Alyssa's hand and lead her inside yelling "Leah Seth we're here" A young Quileute boy around 13 came barreling toward Paul giving him a hug and Leah came in slowly behind him. "Who's this Paul?" Seth asked and Paul smile "This is Bella's cousin, Alyssa Swan. Lyssa, baby this is Seth and that beautiful lady of there is his sister Leah." Seth immediately walked over and gave Alyssa a hug and Leah slowly approached and Alyssa could feel her sizing her up. "You must be Paul's imprint" she commented and Paul's jaw dropped because he hadn't told her that "I can tell because Paul has NEVER looked at a woman the way he looks at you, nor has he ever been this happy." Leah said and then she added "I would love to get to know you better and I will accept you but if you EVER do anything to hurt Paul? It's going to be me and you!" Alyssa nodded taking every word to heart as they all sat down to talk.

By the end of the day Alyssa and Leah had become pretty good friends and Seth became like a little brother to her. Maybe she could get Leah to cut Bella some slack now that they were friends but she doubted if that would ever happen so she just settled with being Leah's friend. Paul and Alyssa left Leah's house and then headed to Paul's to watch a movie and snuggle. "I love this" Paul admitted pulling Alyssa closer "I love just sitting here holding you. It feels so right" Alyssa snuggled into his ward chest and nodded. They watched the movie and made out for a little while before heading over to Jacob's house to meet up with Jacob and Bella. "So!" Bella said to Alyssa "How'd it go with Leah?", "Great actually we have a lot in common and are getting to be good friends. She was a bit bitchy at first but I think that was the overprotective sister talking." Alyssa said and Bella was shocked but said "That's good! So what are you two up to now?", "We were going to go back to the house and play X Box if you guys wanted to tag along" Alyssa said and Jacob jumped up and said "I'm game" Bella laughed and said "I guess we're both in". Bella and Jacob got into her truck and headed on and Alyssa and Paul were right behind them in his car. "Lyssa, I wanted to ask you a question." Paul said and Alyssa smiled sweetly telling him to go ahead, "Would you like to come with me this weekend to visit my mother?" he asked and Alyssa smiled and said "I'd love to!" They drove on to Bella's house and saw Bella and Jacob slowing to a stop on the side of the road "What the hell?" Paul said and then Alyssa saw what Bella was looking at. Alyssa's stomach tightened when she saw a familiar black truck sitting in the driveway and Charlie's cruiser was nowhere in sight. "What is it Lyssa?" Paul asked when he saw the terrified look on her face "Trouble" she managed to choke out as tears spilled down her face. She saw Bella and Jacob get out of the car and hold up a hand signaling Paul to wait. Bella walked over to the window and tapped and said "What are you doing here?" really loud. That's when all hell broke loose.
