Chapter 19:

Die Bitch Die

The run was going pretty normally. I crossed trails with Carlisle and his clan as they made their way to the same place that Jacob, Seth, and I had hunted before. It was weird to come across a vampire and not want to kill them. God damn Jacob for making me hate them less. Now that I could see their point of view, I was more or less indifferent to them.

When I got to the border between the two lands, I saw Embry pacing. When he saw me, his tail started to wag. He looked at me, and I could tell that he wanted to talk again. I shook my head. With Seth out cold and Jacob playing with his new best friends, I couldn't afford to let down my guard.

Maybe another time. I shrugged my shoulders as I continued my patrol.

For a while, the quiet continued. I had no idea how interesting things were about to get.

I heard an engine revving down the road that I was running parallel to. I stuck my head through the bushes, and was surprised to see Jacob behind the wheel. He looked furious. But…where was he going? My eyes followed the car. What the hell was he doing behind the wheel of an Aston Martin Vanquish? For half a second, I thought about chasing him, but I didn't have the energy. Plus, I couldn't leave Seth unprotected.

It suddenly dawned on me where he'd gotten the car. I knew that the vampires had a collection of expensive automobiles. He must have swiped one from their collection. I laughed. I wonder how pissed Edward was that Jake had bolted with that shiny new car.

I still didn't know where he was going or what had sparked his fury. I just shrugged it off. I had running to do. The quiet didn't continue for much longer. Seth awoke from his power nap, re-energized and ready to run.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was the picture of Jake speeding away in Edward's fancy car.

Where's he going? Seth asked softly.

I shrugged, Beats me. I had pissed him off, but not that much.

Seth then accused me of running him off. What did you do, Leah!

Why do you always assume that it's my fault? That irked me a little. I had a feeling that this had nothing to do with me. At least, I hoped it wasn't my fault. I couldn't imagine that our conversation would have driven him to commit grand theft auto.

Because it usually is your fault.

Alright, Einstein. Tell me what's so wrong about this. I shared the conversation that Jake and I'd had before he took off.

I felt Seth's bewilderment as I defended Rosalie and Bella. He never would have thought he'd see me in agreement with vampires.

You…really feel that way? Seth questioned.

Unfortunately, I nodded. I continued, letting Seth see the whole replay. He needed to know that I hadn't intended on hurting Jacob. It hurt like hell reopening those wounds. I cringed as Seth heard me tell Jacob how much Sam had hurt me.

Seth surprised me when he got all defensive and brotherly.

I'm sorry Sam hurt you so much. I wish I could rip his throat out for you. He paused. You don't know how hard it was for me to follow his command knowing that I wanted to tear his head off for leaving you.

Aw, thanks kid. That's…kind of sweet.

He took a moment to think.

There's nothing wrong with you, Leah, he assured me. Sam's a fool. You deserve better than him.

Nothing wrong with me? Yeah, I wish I could believe that.

Another pause from Seth. He decided that it wasn't my fault that Jake had taken off.

Maybe he just needed a break. This is hard for him, he sighed.

I was in agreement there. Jake would come back when he was ready. It's not like he hadn't run off before. So, I continued to follow Jacob's plan to protect the vampires. Seth and I ran for a couple of hours…and Jacob still hadn't returned.

I was starting to worry.

He's probably back at the Cullen's place by now. No doubt getting in every last second that he can with Bella. Even Seth's calm assumption didn't decrease my worry.

I think I'll go check on him.

That's cool. I'll keep patrolling.

We broke off and I sped towards the Cullen's place. The closer that I got to the mansion, the stronger the vampire odor became. I still couldn't stand the smell, but at least I was getting used to it. Even so, I really hated spending time anywhere near their house. Jake and Seth may be comfortable with them, but I still didn't trust them.

As I made my way to the front of the house, I slowed down. I could hear my heart pounding. I hated being here. But I wouldn't be long. As soon as I knew that Jake was okay, I was out of here.

Hey, mindreader! I yelled as loudly as my thoughts would allow.

I could hear muttering from inside the house. Rosalie said something to Edward about ignoring pests and taking care of his wife. I thought I heard Edward tell Rosalie to go to hell. A house full of vampires. I laughed. I was in hell…

Come on, leech, I don't have all day. I hoped he could hear me. I know he could hear thoughts, but I don't know how close I needed to be for him to hear mine.

Apparently, he'd heard me. He opened the front door.

"Leah?" Edward seemed stunned to see me.

I was stunned myself. This is the last place on Earth I wanted to be. I thought about Sam and the pack. Okay, second to last place. I'd rather be buddies with vampires than Sam's bitch again.

I need to talk to Jacob. I haven't felt him phase back. I figured maybe this is where I could find him.

"He's not here."

Where is he then? For a moment I was worried that he had gone to do something stupid, like take on Sam alone. He could have taken the car so Sam and the pack wouldn't have sensed him coming as a wolf. Little did I know it was worse than that.

"I gave him a break." He could see the confusion on my face. "He was upset, so I gave him the keys to my Vanquish and told him to get some air."

Hmm, so Jake hadn't stolen the car after all. Pity. That would serve Edward right. He'd stolen Bella back from Jake after his little suicide attempt in Italy. Too bad that he didn't follow through with offing himself.

I still didn't get what had gotten Jacob so upset. I looked to the bloodsucker for an explanation.

Edward seemed willing to share.

"The baby…it seems, is communicating with me. He understands that he his very strong and hurting Bella. He is doing his best to be gentle now."

Well, wasn't that special? The stupid little bloodsucking tick could talk before even being born. I growled when I realized that this had been the thing that upset Jacob. I was livid. Jacob had been helping these assholes for the past several days. He had started to rely on Edward to keep Bella alive by trying to convince her to abort the stupid creature. But now Edward was on board with this whole baby thing. Did he care that when the kid came out, Bella would probably die anyway? I let out a snarl. These two were the exact reason that idiots should use birth control.

This was the last straw. Someone needed to tell Bella exactly what she was doing to Jacob. Before I realized what I was doing, I was behind a tree, phasing to human. I didn't even let Seth know what was going on. I figured he could handle it alone for a few minutes.

I threw on my clothes and marched towards the house. Though I could see he was alarmed, Edward did not try to stop me.

"Where is she?" I growled.

"Leah, she's in no condition to…"

I pushed past him. Maybe I should have thought twice about going into the enemy's lair. I know that Jacob spent a lot of time here, and they knew Seth fairly well, too. How would they react to me? I didn't care. Jacob was hurting…and I was pissed.

I didn't have to go very far. The pasty little heartbreaker was sprawled out on the couch. She had some tubes hooked up to her nose. She was pale. Practicing to become a vampire, I suppose. She really did look terrible. Worse than what I had seen in Jacob's mind. Seeing her in person didn't compare to the picture that had been etched all over Jake's thoughts.

"Leah…" She looked at me uneasily.

The irritating blonde vampire next to her side let out a low hiss. Guess she could see why I was here. Oh well, if I got killed, at least it would be while I was ripping Bella a new one.

"Stupid mongrel," Rosalie growled.

I didn't waste any time as I snapped back, "Stuck up bitch."

A growl built up in Rosalie's throat. She looked like she was ready to pounce. I didn't care. Bring the bitch on. I wanted to kill something anyway.

Edward quickly shut the blonde up. "Rose, don't do anything stupid."

Good, maybe I could say my piece and then get the hell out of dodge before suffering too much damage.

Bella was still uneasy as she looked at me. "It's nice to see…"

I wasn't going to let her finish.

"Alright, listen here you selfish pathetic little moron…cause I'm only going to say this once…"

I had her attention.

"First of all, you should have done us all a favor and kept your legs closed. Needless to say that you, of all people, shouldn't be reproducing," I snapped.

I saw her lip start to tremble. That shit wasn't going to work on me.

"Just because Jacob cares about you doesn't mean that I have to. I run with his pack…which you aren't a part of. You chose your precious little obsessive controlling stalker boyfriend…just like any other dumbass teenage moron would."

There was a hiss that escaped Edward's teeth behind me. Against my better judgment, I didn't look back as I answered him, "Oh, go suck a dick you fruity Rock Hudson wannabe…" To hell with all these stupid vampires. I was going to die anyway. Might as well go out reaming Bella.

I continued my rant, "I give it two years before you become some divorced bitter hag with a toddler living in a trailer screaming nonsense at your neighbor in bare feet."

I heard Edward continuing to growl from behind me. "That's enough."

"I'm not finished." I noticed that my audience was growing. The big one, Emmett I think, appeared around the side of the room. I continued the lashing anyway. "If you had any brains in that head of yours, you would have seen that Jacob isn't just like "any other boy." He doesn't hang out with you just because you have tits and a vagina. He hangs out with you because he CARES about you…though I don't understand why…"

"You're treading on dangerously thin ice," Edward snarled.

Bella held her hand up and shook her head and squeaked out, "Let her finish."

I could see the tears forming in her eyes. I didn't care. Her weeping did nothing to me.

"If I were him, I would have cut your worthless ass out of my life the moment I met you. But for some reason, he thinks you're worth being friends with. And he will stay friends with you, because that's the kind of guy he is. But it is killing him, Bella," I snarled vehemently. "You do realize what is going to happen when you throw your life away here? You see who is going to be hurt the most?" I frowned. "You should have just let him go. This whole sick and twisted "I need you in my life" shit is all a load of crap, and you know it. Just like any other fucking teenage girl who likes to play mind games. But you don't care about anything other than yourself, do you? It's not like anyone else in the world matters. It's always about what you want, isn't it? I wanna be a vampire. I wanna fuck my boyfriend. I wanna have a baby. I don't care about anything except getting what I want." I did the best impersonation of a whiny little cunt that I could manage.

I was on fire. I couldn't believe that no one had stopped me yet. Bella really did have Edward wrapped around her finger. Boy was whipped.

"I mean, come on…pregnant at eighteen? What are you, an after school special?" I snorted. "Here's the thing…you wanna go off and have some fucking mutant spawn vampire babies and ruin your life, that's fine, but leave Jacob alone. Because if you keep hurting him, you're going to have to answer to me. And I'm not afraid to cause a little damage to your supposedly "fragile" body. I don't care that you're pregnant. I'll kick your Rosemary's baby's ass, too!"

The blonde vampire hissed at me again. I snarled back at her, "If you don't stop hissing at me like some stupid second grader pretending to be a monster, you're going to find out not where babies come from, but witness how they get put back. You love the god damn kid so much, how about I just shove your ass up there with it?"

"Hey, you're not angry at Rose," Bella whimpered quietly. "Don't take it out on her." The hell I shouldn't! They were all worthless cocksuckers to me.

"She shouldn't be taking it out on anyone…regardless of how angry she is. She just doesn't know how to control her temper…" Edward curled his lip up at me.

Damn straight. I quickly went to mock him as well, "Oh, I'm so perfect, I'm a vampire." I rolled my eyes. "Tremble before me. I'm sooo dangerous. Look at me, I glitter!" His snarl grew louder. "Hey, I will cut your balls off…fucking cumdrinker…" I don't even know where I was coming up with this shit. I always knew I had a tendency to be vulgar when I was pissed, but some of these words were new even for me.

I faced Bella again. I needed to finish before I completely lost it and phased right there.

"Everyone sees you as this delicate little flower. Well, honey, get ready because this winter storm is getting ready to crush your tiny worthless little blossom. I will tear your ass up. You mess with him, and you mess with me."

That really pissed Edward off. He was by Bella's side in an instant, telling her not listen to me.

That's right, comfort the girl that you're killing, I thought angrily.

I saw him lean towards me, ready to attack. Bella stopped him again. Geeze, what was with her? Did she get off on this kind of crap?

I looked at her and Edward, "You two fucking idiots are perfect for each other. So yay for the controlling dick and the whiny bitch ending up together to live not so happily ever after." I shook my head. "Jacob deserves so much better than you…"

"I think wolf girl has a crush on Jacob." Emmett interrupted me, trying to distract me from my rage. Didn't work.

"Shut it, monkey boy." I glared at him. I turned back to Bella. "As for you, Bella…" I hissed her name. "Why don't you grow a pair? Stop being such a selfish, self-sacrificing martyr? Pull your head outta your stupid vampire ass, quit the whiny bitch routine, and get the hell out of my town…or die giving birth…I really don't care. I hope the baby rips your ass in half."

I could see the pain shoot across Edward's face. The chances of Bella living through this were slim. Which was fine by me.

I saw Bella wince. I couldn't tell if her pain was emotional or if the baby had kicked her again.

"Hey, little pussy fruit…do me a favor and kick the shit out of your dumbass mama for me!" I gave Bella an evil glance. "You know, I'm glad you're dying. It saves me from having to kill you myself," I shrugged.

Now, how did I finish this rant? What was the perfect way to say goodbye? I shrugged. I figured while I was here, I might as well get in every last insult that I could. "Fuck you and the sparkly vampire that you rode in on…oh, wait, that's how you got in this position, isn't it?"

And I was done. I sailed past Edward, out of the house. I was barely off the porch when I let the anger win. I exploded into my fur coat. I heard shuffling behind me. Who was going to be the one to attack me?

Edward. No surprise.

"Leah," he said in an angered tone. I could tell he was trying very hard not to lose his temper. Psh, like I was afraid of him. "If you ever pull this kind of stunt again, I don't care what Bella says, I will deal with you myself…"

Good luck being a single dad. I was beyond caring. I knew that last one hurt him. I saw the anguish flush across his face. SOB was speechless as I took off towards the woods.

Seth saw what had just happened play through my mind.

Leah, how could you say those things?

I thought of Jacob and his heartbreak. And about how Bella was giving herself to the enemies. I thought of the way that Bella was using Jacob for her own personal gain. And how her pussy of a husband was letting her get away with it. Seth was still so young. He didn't get it.

I sighed, You'll understand one day.

And I truly hoped he would. Because if he didn't, then for the rest of my life, my brother would never be able to see me in the same light again.
