Chapter 51

"What kind of problem, Leah?" Jacob asked, a little concerned and a little bored.

"I have reasons to believe the Cullens, including Renesmee, are in danger." I eyed Kaase and he actually scowled at me. I looked away quickly. I think I heard Jacob's heart stop beating.

"Leah, why are they in danger? What's wrong. C'mon, Leah don't leave me hanging like this!"

"Just calm down, Jake. From what I know we have plenty of time, but this is something I would really like to talk to you about in person." I kept my voice calm and soothing.

He growled. "Fine the pack and I are on our way up now."

"We're in the woods outside Port Angeles." I informed him.

"We??"

"And try not to bring any Cullens with. But I know you don't have much control over that situation." I snorted.

He lowered his voice as if he thought they wouldn't hear him. "Hey, I'm lucky they let me live here with them, but I'll try. We'll be there soon, just stay where you are." Then he hung up.

I timidly looked back up at Kaase and he still had a scowl on his face. "Ya know, if you keep that expression it's going to stick." I poked him playfully in the side.

"I can't believe you called him." He snarled.

"Jacob is my best friend! He loves Renesmee as much as I love you! It's kind of a code of honor, Kaase." I tried to keep from yelling at him but he seemed to be unreasonable.

"But I am the danger, Leah! What's he going to do when he finds out I'm the one endangering Renesmee?"

I paused. "They won't do anything to you as long as you promise not to hurt them. It's not that hard, Kaase, really. I got through it. You're the one that told on the others so they'll definitely show you mercy. I hope if any of the Cullens come with they take the doctor, he has more sense than any of them." I said the last part partly to myself.

"The leeches are coming here!?" He snapped, starting to shake.

I put my hands on his wrists. "You'll be fine." I promised, not knowing if he really would be. I should have thought this out better.

He sighed, "Leah..."

"Shh." I put my hand over his mouth. "Don't worry about it, it'll take them bout half an hour to get here. I'd really like you to stay but once they get nearer you can leave if you really want to." I removed my hand and he stared at me with an amused expression.

"You continue to amaze me, Leah."

I let out a snort, "C'mon." I pulled him over behind the truck and let down the tail gate. I leapt up and sat on the edge and he joined me.

"So, tell me about your powers. Can you only change when there's a full moon?" I asked, curiously.

"Well so far yeah, I think if I get stronger I could change whenever like you. I have to be in the moonlight to start the transformation but I can hold it the rest of the night"

"What about the whole silver bullets thing?" I worried. "What are your weaknesses?"

"We'll the whole silver thing is a myth I think, cause I've touched silver and it hasn't really done anything to me. But I'm not sure if a regular bullet would kill me or if it has to be a silver one, I haven't tested it." He chuckled. "And there are certain different kinds of plants I can't touch or eat, like wolfsbane."

"Do you have super strength, or healing abilities like I do?"

"When I'm a wolf I'm super strong but when I'm human I'm… human, I'm like any other person." He said, almost sadly. "I guess that's a good thing though, I can blend in better. I can't heal like you can, that's probably a shape shifter thing."

I nodded. "Yeah, we defiantly don't share the same powers."

"But we're still the same too. We're both misunderstood." He took my hand in his. "I don't know about you but I don't go around stealing babies and raiding chicken coops."

I snorted. "Well, I don't. I'm not sure about Seth." We laughed.

"We're basically human," he went on. "We're just gifted."

"Or cursed." I added. "Depends on your outlook on things."

"Yeah." He sighed, rubbing my hand with my thumb.

"I was the only girl wolf, and you left your pack. We're both alone." I whispered.

"Until now," He turned to me and rubbed my cheek. "We have each other." He breathed, his sweet breath brushing lightly against my face. "In the end that's all that really matters, right?" He chuckled slightly then brushed his lips against mine. I moved my lips with his as his kiss became more urgent. We wanted to leave this world and all its troubles behind. In that moment, it was just us, two lost souls who finally found happiness in this world.
