Leah POV
I woke up to the sound of chirping birds. Which, for a normal girl, would mean a beautiful day. But truly, when have I ever been normal? As dismal as it seems, my mind wandered to the thought of food. I had no cooking stove or anything, and I wasn't ready to risk walking out in the open yet. I would have to settle for raw meat, and for hunting it. I winced as the old memories of one pack came to the front of my mind, how I never ate raw food, and almost starved because of it. It would have to do now, I thought. Sighing, I took off my clothes and I phased, letting my inner wolf take over. I launched at the bird, and caught it in my mouth, feathers tickling my tongue. After that raw and measly breakfast, I phased back, and changed. I could hear someone call my name, as I was in wolf form for those three minutes. They must be trying to find me, or talk to me. I hoped not. A wolf could cover the distance between me and La Push in two hours, not the four it took me to drive here. I better get on my way, though I had no means to go. I left the car, and I didn't want the others occupying my head. I sat on the moss, cursing at the sky. Why me? Why does the s*** always happen to me? I felt salty water on my cheek, and brushed away the tear. I wasn't going to cry. I would run. Yeah, not the brightest idea, I kept saying to myself. I stood up, and pretended I was at a track meet, running. I was going to run on foot, if my d*** pack won't leave me to my peace in wolf form. This was better than sitting around, waiting for someone to find me. I ran through the trees, jumping over rocks and stumps. I was running to get away from it all, but something was telling me to go back, to run to La Push, and pretend that nothing had ever happened. But I couldn't do that. Jacob had to understand that he couldn't have me and the b****, but only one of us. And I didn't plan to wait forever. I resolved to go back to La Push in a few days, and figure out this Jacob/Bella Jacob/Me thing. I didn't feel like thinking about his choice, who he would choose, but rather, I thought of the miles I had to cover, or merely, felt like covering.
Seth POV
I could hear Jacob's thoughts. He was replaying his memories, ones of Leah and Bella. A growl came up from my throat, he was running through a picture of Bella over and over. It wasn't Leah.
Well maybe if your sister came back Seth I'd be able to rejoice at the fact she came back.
Well Jacob, maybe she'd come back if you'd STOP thinking of Bella maybe, just maybe she'd COME back!! I was seething, Jacob was being clueless.
Shut up I heard that.
Meant for you to hear it. A growl erupted from his throat.
Bella isn't a problem Seth.
Obviously she is for Leah, when you act like her slave. Its almost as bad as imprinting on Bella!
Its not the same!
Obviously not Jacob, I mean at least you think of Leah sometimes, if you imprinted then you probably wouldn't even be-
Be what Sam? Thinking remorse about her? Maybe I caused her to run off, but it doesn't mean she likes you more now. And Seth stay out of my business.
You mean stay out of the soap opera. It wasn't the most original, and definitely not the best comeback ever, I give Leah my credit for those, but it would do. Well if you two are looking for Leah, I'm going to sleep.
Fine.
Seth, if Leah calls-
Yeah, yeah Jake, I know, call you. I phased back, and threw my pants on. There was no way in hell that Leah would call, but I wouldn't tell Jake that. He seemed desperate. Well that's what he gets. I ran home. I was starving and exhausted and just plain irritated with the supernatural world. I emptied the fridge, and then crashed on the couch near our house phone. I fell asleep with a picture in my mind of Leah laughing with another guy, in another state. I cringed. I had a gut feeling that this wasn't going to end pretty, but I silently prayed that Leah and Jacob got together again, or stayed together, where ever they were in their relationship.
Leah POV
Oh s***! The pack wasn't saying my name, someone near me was. I didn't get very far running. For someone in the trees called my name, making my blood turn cold.
"Leahh!" My eyes widened, no one around here would possibly know my name. It had to have been someone else. It wasn't a pack member though. I could distinguish their voices well enough.
"Leah, its so nice to see you again." A figure came out of the shadows, smelling like cologne and very sickly sweet. It was a leech. I backed up, taking a defensive position. His eyes were red. Red. That wasn't good, not good at all.
"What do you want?" I snarled, ready to phase at any given moment.
"Ah, straight to the point I see." He wasn't answering me, just standing there, eyeing me like a piece of food. Which I guess I was in his eyes.
"How do you know my name?"
"Why, dear wolf-girl, I know everything about you." His smile turned into a smirk, like he was in on an inside secret.
"No you don't. You don't know anything."
"Oh really? What about you and Sam, he twas taken by your cousin wasn't he, from, what do you call it? Ah yes, imprinting." I winced, more memories flooding back.
"Then there was Jacob, and Bella Swan, right? Bella wants to kill you, and Jacob can't choose between you and her. Right?" I was scared now.
"H-how?"
"Ah, questions, questions. You could be a bit more polite, and say, oh I don't know, 'How do you like the weather?'" I snorted, like being polite was ever going to happen.
"Guess not." He smiled. "You can come out of that stance." His smirk was still plastered upon his face, as if he was daring me to contradict him. Probably the most stupid thing I've ever done in my life, I came out of my stance, and sat on the mossy ground.
"There. That wasn't so hard, was it?"
"How long have you been a vampire?"
"Oh, a month or so. I'm 19."
"Then-"
"I have had very good control since I was bitten."
"Just like-"
"Bella Swa-, excuse me, Bella Cullen." He reminds me of a snake charmer, I thought to myself. Only he charms girls instead of vipers. I had to repeat to myself that I had a boyfriend, that I belonged with Jacob, that I should leave. But there was something about him that wouldn't let me believe that my happily ever after was with Jacob.
"I have to go."
"Good choice." He chuckled. "You should go home, your brother is worried." He turned to leave. "Leah, if your heart ever needs mending I'm the guy." A look of sadness, of loss crept upon his face. I nodded stiffly, as if it was the right thing to do. A minute later I he was gone and I was in wolf form.
Anyone here? I thought with a wry smile. Surprise of my pack flashed through my mind. They must have been having a meeting.
Do you want to hold the meeting for a bit? I'm coming home. I heard Seth rejoice, and possibly Jake. Everyone was, really. Surprising. As I ran to La Push, I felt as if home was running to the vampire I had talked with just a minute ago, not the boy I was running to now.
And voila! Here is the 6th chapter! Yay! I need a good vampire name, for a guy around nineteen. By the way, could anyone tell me the age of Leah if Jacob is 15? Would she be 19 or 20? Or some other age? And I shall leave you in suspense for the next chapter, or try to anyways:
Who will Leah end up with? :O (More importantly, who do YOU want Leah to end up with?
