And I'll post 3 chapters a day for now unless you guys say otherwise

Chapter 16

I calmed enough to escape the jaunting thoughts of my fellow pack members. Most of them had stayed silent when they read my thoughts but they couldn't hide the fact that they thought I deserved it. I crept, naked, back through my window and pulled another pair of ratty shorts and a tank out of my closet. I had become a regular at the thrift store, I'd explode out of my clothes as fast as I could buy them.

I wandered into the kitchen looking for something to eat and I found Seth sitting at the table. Glancing over his shoulder I saw he was reading some fancy piece of paper. I stuck my head in the fridge and asked. "What's that?"

"It's an invitation to Edward and Bella's wedding." Seth replied simply.

I snorted. "Do they really expect us to come? Celebrate breaking the treaty?" I laughed again grabbing the package of cheese and leaning up against the fridge, eating a slice.

"I'm going!" Seth protested. I looked up from my cheese at him, his fist was clenched and his brow furrowed.

"Seth I think we should think about this." My mom said hesitantly, putting a hand on Seth's arm. He didn't look at her, his eyes were locked with mine.

"Seth are you dumb?" I asked with a sarcastic tone. "You want to go hang out with bloodsuckers?" I took a deep breath controlling my temper.

"Leah . . ." Mom scolded but Seth cut in.

"The Cullens aren't bad. Their just like us." As he said this he stood up quickly sending his chair toppling to the floor. His head hovered over mine.

"Just like us!" I squeaked. "They are nothing like us! They drink blood, Seth. They are monsters! They kill innocent people!"

"The Cullens don't eat people and you know that!" He yelled back, stepping closer into my personal space. Both of us started to shake.

"Seth, Leah!" My mom yelled helplessly. She started backing towards the door.

I turned from Seth for my mom's sake and stuck my head under the faucet, running cold water on it. I heard Seth stomp out of the kitchen and slam the door. A slight shimmer filled the air and I expected he had exploded out of his clothes.

I lifted my head and dabbed at my face with a towel. My mom was staring at me, she was breathing hard and had her arms crossed. "Please don't get in a fight like that again."

She looked so weak, like one wrong move and she might have a heart attack like dad. I nodded to her and muttered a "Sorry."

I returned the cheese to the drawer and went back to my room. I flopped on my bed and shoved the ear buds from my iPod in my ears. I turned the music up as loud as I could bear but I knew I would still be able to hear a howl if there was one.

I had a couple hours before I would switch off with someone on patrols. I didn't know why Sam was still so insistent on continuing the patrols. The red haired female we had been chasing was killed in the battle. But he still wanted us to keep up our rigorous routine for now.

I dozed off a bit before a howl woke me. It wasn't an order though, it sounded more like a howl of pain. I tugged the buds out of my ears and listened, but I didn't hear any more.

I felt like just rolling over and forgetting about it but my pack loyalty remained so I got up and climbed out the window. Once I phased I realized what had happened. Jacob had gotten an invitation too and evidently it held a little note from the groom.

I kept my thoughts quiet as I listened to his. Embry and Quil were trying to reason with him as he raced away from us but Jacob didn't want to listen. Jacob was planning on leaving us.

I felt a tug at my heart at the thought of losing one of my brothers, even if I didn't like him. Sam was ordering Embry and Quil to phase so I decided to leave. Once I was clothed Seth joined me.

"Did you catch that?" He asked, his eyes were wide and worried.

"Yeah." I sighed. "Jake's leaving."
