Leah's Pov
I sighed and made sure no one was watching me as I drove; the Cullens and wolves were having another meeting. The fortuneteller and her husband were
out hunting with Blondie. Apparently this meeting was so important that even Jacob himself had to attend and Renesmee wasn't even allowed.
With the imprints not attending the house was quiet. I had taken it upon myself to grab the little monster and sneak away for a drive. As I basically was
kidnapping the Cullen's only "human child" and she was only half at that, I expected everyone to come after me, but no one paid attention. No one even
cared. I actually felt sorry for the spoiled brat. But ever since Juliet came I've developed a soft spot for the little twerp and Juliet herself. I was the, fucking
Leah Clearwater. And I had a reputation to uphold but then again, Jacob's mutant imprint cared more about what I was doing these days then her own
mother. Renesmee blankly stared out the window. My mind instantly began to drift to the one place it shouldn't. But I hadn't thought about him in such a
long time. Now it was the time to think and let my mind wonder. As we pulled into a garage of a middle-income apartment complex, I retracted all my
thoughts of him and scolded myself for even thinking like that, again. As we entered the building I felt very uneasy. The doorman had bright orange eyes. I
stiffened with my breath hitched inside. I'd have to put my faith in Juliet hoping she knew what she was doing. As I approached the desk another leech
greeted me as I held onto Renesmee's hand. Before I had time to say what Juliet had told me, his lips curled into a creepy and cruel smile, I'd swear he'd
have fangs. "Bartholomew will take you right up Ms. Bouasse". Bouasse ? That was my fake last name Juliet created for me? "Have a nice day and you and
your daughter enjoy your visit now". Daughter? Juliet had lost her mind. But, at the same time I was even more frightened to know what crazy story she
came up with to make Mr. Fang believe that. As we boarded the elevator I felt like we were in the tower of terror. A floor or two before the penthouse suite
we stopped. I grabbed Renesmee, and gave the leech elevator operator my best don't mess with me look and marched straight to Juliet's door. Its not that I
was scared but I couldn't handle two or three leeches on my own while protecting Renesmee at the same time. And from the stench in here, the building
was full of hundreds of vampires. But when I opened the door the face I was ready to hug and yell at didn't greet me. Instead it was a pair of golden eyes. I
prepared in a fighting stance while I pulled Renesmee behind me.

I did my best to keep my emotions under mask. Which was a lot easier because jasper had left but still. I was in shock. In shock so much I didn't know
what to say. How could my family do this to me? When I had awoken yesterday they had told me I had been unconscious for 6 months, six months? More
like six hours but still, I did not care whose idea it was I was upset. Upset Edward had done this to me after our big fight, upset nessie had been unreceptive
to me, me her mother! Not to mention Jacob! How dare he do that to me! After I had gotten over or "gotten over" their little joke I realize what had come
to light when I was out. Edward was relatively calm about our daughter and Jacob but I had put an end to it right then and there, no daughter of mine
would be dating Jacob Black at her age even if according to my husband and father-in-law she was technically twelve and a half. I was doing what was best
for her why couldn't she see that? It was like everybody was suddenly against me, but the only ally I had now was Rosalie, as the wolves piled in the house
I went to work on gaining another one.

A squeal interrupted the air as pale arms reached for Renesmee. As I lunged ready to attack on impact, a pair of giggles made me loose my focus and glare
at the source as I landed a tangled mess on the vampire. Juliet's smiling face towered over the both of us as she held Renesmee. As the dark hood fell off
the vampire, I felt completely stupid. "Well, Leah I never knew you missed me so much". Alice's topaz eyes twinkled up at me. She grabbed me and set me
upright again on my feet. Even thought I knew Alice was a vampire, whenever we saw her tiny stature and frame she seemed too delicate. Big mistake, but
she had a good advantage. "What's with all the noise? I'm getting a headache," a shrewd familiar voice yelled. Blondie appeared through another door. I
shot Juliet a look. She smiled, " it's a girls day, I missed human interaction so much, so we are going shopping! ". I sighed if it were anyone else I wouldn't
have agreed, "there is a problem with that sweetheart, and none of us are human!" I practically yelled at her. But this didn't intimidate her like others, it
was either because of her pure heart or because she knew too much about me. "I shall make up for it with food"; she gave me a small smile while she
promised. But this was Juliet my only friend, my best friend. "Well I am hungry right now so let's get going, food before and after please, and keep the
torture to a bare minimum. I think I already gave Alice the wrong impression. "Of, course let's go before more people complain about the smell". AS Juliet
gave me her best smile I couldn't help but roll my eyes. The wee not people but murders. Everything was different in her eyes. I sensed she was keeping
something from me and wanted to talk about it alone, why else bring the only people that could read her as well as I could because with them there she
knew they would not expect anything to be up. Besides that point, with going to the mall, all the noise and people would make it hard for them to pinpoint
their hearing to our secret conversation. As we rode down the elevator we shared a knowing look and when Renesmee was around her she acted like a
child, the way her mother wanted her too. But this side of her was only reserved for Juliet, and then and there is when I realized the pattern between Bella
and her behavior began to start to worsen.
