LEAH'S POINT OF VEIW

As I pulled up to my house, Seth was already out. The drive way was empty for the first time in a long time and all the lights in the house were off. If you were a stranger and you came up to my house when it was dark and rainy out you would probably high tail it out of there and maybe go to the beach or a crappy hotel. Some where it doesn't look like the house might come to life and eat you right there and then. But seeing that I was no stranger I got out of my pricey car and went around to the passenger's side. Like I said Seth was so out that when I opened the door and he fell out, he didn't so much as shudder. I thought about leaving him on the floor, maybe the wind could carry him away, but thought about mom having a huge bitchy fit about it. So I dug through my purse and found a stash of beef jerky I always carry with me. I waved it under his nose, wondering if this trick really works or if it's just a Hollywood gimmick. Turned out it did actually work which didn't surprise me because Seth would jump off a cliff for this stuff. He groaned and reached for the jerky.

"Nuh-uh." I held it away form him. "You have to get up and come inside if you want some. I'm not dragging your fat ass."

He grumbled something about how I was a lousy big sister but I didn't pay that much attention. I hoped that the door was unlocked and if it wasn't then I would have to go to Billy's and ask him where the hell is everyone. I have nothing against Bill but he is so old that he makes Jonny Dept look young and that scares me. As Seth got up I made my way to the porch. I was surprised to see that a note was taped on the front with my cousins hand writing.

All at Jake's.

Come over right when you read this.

P.S. Aunty says to make sure the casseroles are pre-heated at 140 degrees.

She won't get home 'til late

love ya, Em.

I ripped the note off and crinkled it in my hands. This sucks majorly. All I wanted to do today was drop something off at Emily's then come home, take a bath, text that new hot guy at school, and finish my home work. I wasn't expecting to be dragged around and be included in business that I shouldn't be included in anymore.

Seth came up behind me. "Door lock?" his voice was heavy with sleep.

I wiggled the knob. It turned all the way around but I didn't open the door. "Nope. C'mon, we have a meeting to attend."

SAM'S POINT OF VEIW

"So it's true then, I'm really going to die?" Leah's voice pierced through the quiet.

No one answered her. Who could tell a young girl that she wouldn't live long enough to get married or go to her senior prom? I always wanted to have the courage and coolness of a doctor for this kind of stuff. I wondered mindlessly if it was too late to go to collage and actually get my degree to become a doctor.

Leah sighed. "You know I already know the answer. I just want to hear it from someone else to make in final." She was almost whispering and her tone was soft. I couldn't remember a time when used that voice

Paul got up stretching his arms over his head. He looked at the back room where Jarred and Emily escaped. "I'm gonna check up on Jarred." He looked at Leah for the first time today with soft worried eyes. "I don't know that much about this kind of stuff but to be honest you don't look good. I think you wont make it through the week…" he cut off and turned abruptly. He ran through the hall and into Em's room.

Jake sat heavily on the floor folding his arms across his chest, leaning his head against the couch. He looked up at Leah. "Paul is too stupid to even remember his name. Don't worry, you'll pull through this." He gave her limp hand a squeeze.

There was a coughing fit from her. Her eyes closed as she stopped and I wondered if they would ever open again. Everyone instantly became tense. We all thought the same thing, is this it? Instantly I felt stupid for thinking that. Of course it wasn't it. She was still breathing, even though it was ragged and short. She was defiantly strong.

Her eyes flew open and she started to shake. "S-so cold." Her lips turned blue

Seth grabbed the blanket that was rapped around her but it fell on the floor while the doctor was inspecting her. He laid it on her again. "You won't die. Mom will kill you if you do." His words didn't have the usual light hint.

"Y-yeah, and she'll kill you next if you don't bring up your grades." She grinned at him then winced.

My temper began to flare. For some reason my hands started to shake and my body trembled. I thought I learned how to control myself. I thought because of I what I did to Emily I trained my anger and subdued it. But as I saw Leah lying there, dying, and seeing all the pain she's causing us…well it was royally pissing me off. My vision became blurry and all the rational thoughts I had flown right out. The last thing that I thought was I had to get out…

JACOB'S POINT OF VEIW

Seth stared at me blankly. The lines that made him look older vanished replaced by a wave of confusion. I avoided his eyes and picked up another rock, flicking it a good 100 meters. Some how I knew he wouldn't believe what I told him, about Leah's dream, and yet I still explained it to him. He's a kid, I thought, of course he wouldn't understand. Hell, I don't understand myself! What goes through a chick's mind is beyond my understanding. Still, I couldn't shake the feeling that maybe that wasn't just a dream. Maybe there was something deeper to it. I shook me head. No, it was just a dream caused by heat and starvation and that's all it would ever be.

I side glanced at Seth. He stopped gaping at me and averted his eyes to the misty sea.

I sighed stuffing my hands in my pockets. "Listen, don't over think it. It was probably just some stupid dream she had no control of. I've had a dream that I made out with a banana, do you think I want to do that?" he didn't say anything so I carried on. "If she wants to stop changing that's alright with me. I don't think she'll master it though. Sam hasn't even mastered it and he's calmer then any of us. I don't know why you're so worried about this."

He sat down on the drift wood with a sigh. I sat down next to him trying to block the pain that was creeping over me. The last person I sat on this thing with was my only love…

"I'm not worried about her, man. It's just, I don't know. Something weird is going on with her and I have no idea what it is." He put his head in his hands.

This isn't right. Since when did he ever have concerns for his sister? The last time I saw him talking to her is when he was sticking out his wolf tongue, thinking how annoying she is. Now, it's like he's her father. Maybe this is a dream

He lifted his head, staring at nothing. "You should go talk to her. Make her listen to you. Make her see that if she stops changing it won't end up well."

I looked at him as if he just said he could sprout wings and breathe fire. "Have you been sniffing sharpies again?" I got up and started walking away.

He was right behind me in an instant. "C'mon Jake. I have a gut feeling about this. Just use your alpha wolf voice thing and demand her to keep making the changes."

I ignored him walking swiftly to the calm road.

He kept up with me easily. "I would talk to her if I could but she only listens to you! Even when you're not in wolf form. Please Jake! I can't ignore this horrible feeling."

I spun around becoming increasingly annoyed. "Leah doesn't listen to anyone. You should know that by now."

"She listens to you!" he gave me those huge eyes he thinks people can't resist. I turned back around and continued walking.

He continued to follow. "What could I do to make you talk to her?"

"Stop following me." I whispered. I stopped at the end of the beach looking both ways before stepping on the deserted road. My pace became quicker as I made my way across and into the dense woods. I thought about changing but decided not to. Seth would change right after me and I wasn't in the mood to hear all of his whines.

He was next to me trying to stop me but I kept on moving. "It's a gut feeling. I'm positive about this. Please Jacob."

"You were also positive that I was going to adore the thing inside Bella. Look how that turned out." I made a sharp turn, heading to the opposite road.

"That's because it, I mean she, died in child birth. If she lived I bet you anything that you would love her like a brother loves his sister."

That made me stop. I keep forgetting that Leah and Seth were siblings. I mean they practically hated each other. I always thought that Leah doesn't give a danm about Seth and the same thing with Seth. But they were bother and sister so there for they do, actually, love each other. It does make sense that he was having this "feeling" about her. He loves Leah and wants to make sure nothing bad happens to her, even though it might make her kick his ass and mine to. Yesh, I'm glad I'm not that protecting over my sisters.

He stopped next to me, eyes pleading. I guess it wouldn't hurt to say something to Leah.

"Alright, fine. I'll talk to her. But I'm warning you, I might not be able to get through to her in a clam manner. So if you hear yelling or maybe even things breaking don't be alarmed."

He smiled widely. "Thanks Jake. You know, you are an awesome leader."

I shrugged and started heading for Seth's house for an awkward conversation with the one person who makes me my puke a little every time I see her.
