A bit of a jump from the first chapter. There's an introduction to the interaction between Leah and her imprint, as well as with Jacob, Seth and Nessie in this chappie. I'll be adding the rest of the Cullens slowly to the story. I'm still debating on whether or not to add chapters from a diff POV. The next chapter probably will have a part done in the imprint's POV, to add length to it :P
And now to the story! Enjoy!

Chapter Two

-8 months later-

I stood there laughing and joking with my friends while still maintaining a view of her. A small smile crept on my lips as I saw her laughing with some of her friends. Her laughter was like the magical opera of the most talented angels in heaven. It captivated my full, head on attention without my consent, not that I really minded; I enjoyed hearing my angle's enchanting laughter.

"Hey, Clearwater!" my friend Mary Luz said, snapping her fingers in my face. I felt a blush creep onto my cheeks as I whipped my head away from my imprint and to my friend. She playfully glared at me and poked me in the chest. Her brown eyes laughed at me as she teasingly grimaced.

"Sorry, what did you say?" I asked sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck. Mary just rolled her eyes at me then laughed. I couldn't help but compare her laugh to that of my imprint. Mary's laugh was nice but it seemed to lack the magical and musical quality that my imprint's held.

"You really do have ADD, don't you?" Mary giggled. I shot her a mock glare before I glanced over to where my imprint stood. From there I glanced around her area and made sure it was clear of any unwanted assholes. "Why do you keep looking around everywhere?"

"I don't really know why," I admitted a tad truthfully. I didn't know why I always had to see my imprint, always had to catch a glimpse of her in order to feel happy and complete. I also didn't get why she had to be…

"There you go again!" she accused. I instantly switched my gaze to my sneakers, black and white chucks. Through my lashes, I hesitantly peeked up at Mary.

"Sorry, you and I both know how I tend to be." I offered up a weak smile before I looked over to where my imprint was, yet again. Her back was facing me and I could see some of her friends looking my way.

"Yo, Clearwater, stop staring. It doesn't suit you," Alex chuckled. Alex Marquez was a six foot six, well muscled, sun kissed, lady-loving jock who just so happened to also have sweet blue eyes, short brown hair and an amazing personality. He always made my insides tingle like a little school girl with her first crush -which was shocking considering I'm imprinted but oh well-, and I think he knew it too.

"I'm not staring!" I retorted. He gave me a knowing smile and looked in the direction I was just looking towards moments before.

"Sure you weren't," he and Mary said in unison. They shared a quick glance then erupted in laughter.

"Okay then if I was staring, which I'm not saying I was, who do you think I was staring at?" I asked snidely. They looked at me then at the group that held my imprint. I kept my own eyes away as to not give them any hint to who it actually was.

"Was it John?" Alex asked in a slightly hardened tone. I looked over and noticed that John was still gawking at me, and so was the rest of the group including my own imprint. Shit, I thought as I felt heat collecting on my face. It embarrassed me to know that not only my imprint but her entire group noticed that we were talking about them.

"It WAS John, wasn't it?!" Mary squealed. The heat on my face doubled as I glared at her. I highly doubted that my imprint's group was deaf enough to not have heard her loud proclamation.

"If you yell anything like that ever again I will NOT hesitate to shove my fist down your throat, yank out your ovaries and choke you with your own fallopian tubes. I make myself clear?" I growled. At first she looked scared shitless but then she laughed; I mean it, she literally laughed. It was no ordinary laugh either, no way; it was a bend over, clutch your stomach and piss your pants laugh. I ended up laughing along with her, which annoyed me but I couldn't help it, it was just so infectious.

"You wouldn't be capable of hurting anyone Leah," she said between guffaws. I laughed even harder when I heard her say that. Of course she would think that! I thought sarcastically.

"Is that what you think?" I chuckled, once I calmed down. If only she knew. My laughter died out as she continued on.

"No, little Miss Clearwater, that is what I know."

"Your sarcasm is not appreciated," I mumbled in response.

"Hey you two, look who's coming our way," Alex said in a bitter tone. Both Mary and I whipped our heads in the direction Alex was glaring at. I felt a growl grow inside of my chest as I realized that my imprint and her posse were headed our way.

"You see what you did?" I muttered angrily at Mary.

"Hey there you guys," John Mason said as they got closer. His floppy blonde hair fell before his mocking green eyes as he grinned at both me and Mary.

"Hi," Mary replied jubilantly, completely oblivious to the tension that formed inside of me.

"Hey Leah," Olivia Nyssa Bellamy, my imprint, greeted me. I couldn't help but notice a small tinge of pink that touched her cheeks as she waved meekly at me and Mary. Her small blush instantly thawed my heart out of its icy state and sent me flying.

"Hey Liv," I smiled. I walked from Mary's side to hug my imprint but stupid John got in the way and stole the hug.

"I think that hug was for me John," Olivia said peevishly, narrowing her sharp hazel eyes. I smirked when I heard her sassiness and pulled away from him. I held back my laugh as I noticed that while Olivia shot daggers at John when she looked at me her eyes grew brighter, softer.

"It was but I'll give you an even better hug," I chuckled. A small smile lifted the corners of her plump lips as I got closer to her.

"Ready?" I asked jokingly.

"As I'll ever be," she giggled. I wrapped my arms around her slim waist and lifted her from the ground. She squealed and dug her nails into my arms as I twirled around and held her close to me. I laughed and buried my nose in her hair as she yelled at me to put her down. After a few more moments of twirling around I finally stopped when I felt she drew some blood from me with those nails of hers. She placed her face against my neck and growled. I laughed at her adorable imitation of a growl. In return she lightly bit my neck which made me laugh even more. I did wince in slight pain but squeezed her closer to me.

"I don't think Olivia liked that at all," John said mockingly. I let go of her and glared at him. He had a way to get under my skin by just uttering one word in that grating voice of his. I felt my body rise in temperature as I took a slow menacing step closer to him. The only thing that stopped me from finally slamming my fist into his ungrateful face was the restraining arm of my beautiful imprint.

"Well as it just so happens I love the way Leah hugs me," Olivia said. I turned to look at her blushing face as a smile of my own lit my face. My body cooled down as she kept her grip on my arm.

"So fuck off John," I said with a grin. He just rolled his eyes and looked off to the side.

"Hey, Nathan!" John shouted, waving to an even more unwanted addition to the group.

"Damn," I thought I heard Olivia say under her breath. I knew she wouldn't say that because-

"Olivia!" Nathaniel D. Rosman sauntered over to my imprint and wrapped his arms around her possessively. "Oh and hey John." His lips loomed over Olivia's for a second before he attacked them. He looked over at me after he finished sucking Olivia's face. "Hola, Leah," he greeted stiffly. I nodded in response before I turned away, wanting to hide my impatience. Once Nate and John started talking about some random stuff, I walked away.

"Wait, Leah!" Olivia called out. Turning slowly, I faced her with a small smile.

"Yes?" My patience was instantly restored as soon as she stood in front of me.

"You forgot your goodbye hug," she said, hurling herself at me. It was a good thing that I had my wolf strength and reflexes otherwise I doubt I would have caught her and remained standing. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed herself against me. The animal inside me roared to life as her essence invaded all of my senses. I held her close to me, utterly entrance by her intoxicating scent. My mind was screaming at me to stop as my lips slowly made their way from her hair to her ear.

"You smell really amazing," I murmured.

"Thanks," she breathed. I felt her heart hammering against me, following the exact same rhythm as my own; another sign of our bond. I was just about to start nibbling on her ear when I felt Ness's warm hand on my shoulder.

"Hi there, Leah," she sang out. I snapped back into reality and instantly let go of Olivia. Fiery heat consumed my body as Ness took my hand in hers, waved bye to my imprint and guided me away. I felt mortified by my lack of restraint.

"Thanks," I grumbled.

"Anytime LeeLa," she giggled. "That time was a really close call." I covered my face with my free hand and sighed. It was getting harder and harder to stay at a safe distance from Olivia. Each time I caught sight of her magical color changing eyes or her smooth tan skin or long silky hair or cute sexy smile I found myself falling for her all over again. I talked about it with the rest of the imprinted wolves and was dumbstruck when they compared the intensity of their imprint with my own. My experience greatly surpassed any of the other's intensity, even Sam's and Jacob's, which was absolutely baffling.

"Maybe it's a sign or something." The defeat in my voice ignited anger in Ness's eyes. She squeezed my hand tighter.

Don't start with that Leah! She projected into my mind with a growl. I sighed heavily before I looked away at nothing in particular.

"Sorry," I murmured. We kept walking, to where I didn't know, all I knew was that it was away from my Olivia. I felt growing irritation build inside of me the further I went from Her. "I just can't help but think that I really am cursed!" I snapped in frustration.

Shush up, you pup! Ness demanded. Look at all the attention you earned yourself!

I stealthily looked around from the corners of my eyes and saw at least three different groups of people staring at me.

"Whoops," I chuckled.

Darn mood swings of yours.

"You still love me," I grinned. She laughed lightly before I felt a change in the air. Jake's close by, I thought as I let her hand go. Not a breath later did the alpha himself rush up to us and pick up Ness in his arms.

"Stop it, Jakey!" she laughed out. I smiled slightly at Jake in greeting before I walked away from them and towards my baby brother, who almost always stood at Jake's side. Seth wore a Skillet band shirt with a very interesting skeleton on it. He grinned at me, possibly because of the face I made while staring at the crown.

"Is that supposed to be Jesus, or something?" I asked incredulously. In turn he let out a loud booming laugh that had him shaking his head.

"I honestly don't know but damn, that reaction should have been recorded and put up on YouTube!" He was literally wiping away tears from his eyes as he walked over to me.

"Well since it's a Christian rock band and the skeleton has a crown I don't see why it's NOT Jesus. He is after all 'the king of man', right?"

"Yea, I've been told He is," he smiled. He gave me one of his signature 'Seth hugs' before he glanced over at the smooching duo behind me. He wrinkled his nose and made a face in mock disgust.

"Hey you two, the big bad blonde is making her way over here!" I exclaimed. They jumped apart and looked around quickly.

"Lies!" Jake snapped as he took Ness's hand in his larger one. I gave both him and Ness what they called 'The Look'. Of course my bff blushed as badly as her mother once used to.

"Sorry, LeeLa," she said sheepishly as she toed the ground beneath her.

"It's ok I just wanted to spare Seth from having to see you two suck face," I chuckled.

"Hey! I'm not some little kid Leah! I'm barely even a virgin!" Seth exclaimed. Once he realized just how loud he said that it was too late. We could hear a bunch of girls beginning the usual gossip as well as their giggling and crap from douche bag guys.

"Way to go bro," Jake laughed. Ness and I giggled along as Seth's face grew redder by the second.

"Way to help your rep here," I jested. He buried his face in his hands and shook his head.

"It'll be ok Seth, you're a hottie and girls love clean hotties," Ness tried. Jake of course growled lowly in response to her calling my brother a 'hottie' and pulled Ness to him by the waist. Rolling my eyes I guided my brother away from the couple and rested my head on his shoulder.

"You're a huge dweeb, did you know that?" I smirked.

"Yea I know but oh well," he sighed. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me with him, closer to the lunch room.

"You're lucky you're my brother and I have to put up with you."

"I know. Anyway, how's school today?" he asked, quirking his eyebrow as he did.

"Well I almost stupidly nibbled on my imprint's ear but Ness saved me. Thank God, otherwise I think I would demand us move out of sheer embarrassment." I sighed and shook my head.

"I honestly say go for it sis. She makes you happy, I can tell. Each time you two hang out and do stuff I smile cause all she does is brighten your aura and you do the same to hers too."

"Stop it with all that aura stuff," I said harsher than I meant. "And just cause she brightens up too doesn't mean that she would ever like me the way I love her." My voice cracked a little when I said the "L" word.

A few months ago Seth started seeing a glow around people. To say the least, it freaked him out and he sought out help from Edward to look into his thoughts and see what my brother was talking about. Edward was stunned and reported that my brother had the ability to see people's auras. Of course no one really knew what he was talking about so he went onto explain that auras helped get a read on people's emotions and train of thought because it was based off of their energy. He saw the gift in a vampire he once ran into during one of his few times separate from his family. From there Seth's 'ability' grew in strength and he learned how to read auras better. He spends most of his free time researching different articles and such based off of aura readings and has even attempted to look for the vamp Edward mentioned. It kinda annoyed me. A lot.

"Sorry, I just think it's so cool! I'm starting to see colors in them now too!" He looked so happy and excited that I couldn't help but instantly soften.

"Really?"

"Yea and I have a feeling the colors mean something just like the brightness does."

"Sounds um interesting…" my voice trailed off and I looked around.

"She really does care about you."

"Why do you think that, Seth?" My voice was barely above a whisper. I looked back at him and his soft brown eyes held my gaze.

"Because I can tell." With that he playfully punched my shoulder and jerked his chin towards a lunch line. "Let's eat sis, you need a distraction and what better than Wednesday's sloppy joes?"
