A/N: Don't own Twilight in any way it's all Stephanie Meyer. Only things I can claim are my OCs. Have fun reading! Words in Italic are Leah's thoughts.
To answer your question Guest, She loves them both just in different ways and you will soon find out how.
Chapter 21
"Are you going to be doing what I think you are?"
"Yes Drake, I need to spend some time with them or else Seth might notice something wrong."
"Ok, just be careful love."
With that I enter the dream world melding my conscious with the one of the fake Leah.
As I awake in my doppelgängers body I realize why I don't do this as often as I should. Such a strain on my head fro it's pounding and I need water badly. I can feel Nate beside me in the bed as I awake from the nap my doppelgänger decided to take.
I head to the bathroom as fast as I can without waking Nate up. I need some time to adjust to the body. Hmm maybe a quick spell will do the trick. As I look in the mirror my reflection shows one that I'm not fond of. Geez did they fuck like rabbits before they took a nap the afterglow is too bright. Need to fix that right away…
"Leah? Babe, where did you go?" Nate mumbles while stirring from the bed.
"Just in the bathroom, I have a meeting to attend in a bit and I need to freshen up." I say closing the door and locking it just in case. As much as I like Nate as a person I can't do it; physically cheating on Drake is too much. That is why the doppelganger is here most of the time. I wasn't even at my own wedding. I know it's bad I should have at least attended but after seeing Drake again I knew that I couldn't go through with it. As much as Nate is perfect I will always love Drake. Nothing will change that ever.
"Leah, honey? Are you still alive in there?" Nate says while gently knocking on the door. I hear the jiggle of the handle and he asks "Why is the door locked?"
"Wanted a little privacy dear, you know me it's just that time of the month again and all."
"Leah babe what are you talking about?"
"What do you mean?" I ask while putting on my last piece of clothing before opening the door. As I come face to face with Nate I knew he would think something was up… my doppelganger while like me is just too different. Shit I should have prepared more, it hasn't been that long since I last saw him but, these memories are shit. They do nothing to help the situation.
"Nothing Leah. " Nate says while his eyes glaze over from the spell I cast. Phew got that covered. Can't stay for that long, shit it's been too long. I move him out of the way to grab some clothes. As I open the door I realize that my doppelgänger is crazy. Half of the clothes I find, I wouldn't wear. Crap there has to be something nearby. I turn and ask Nate "Where are my clothes darling?"
"Leah, they are in the closet." He answered confused.
"Not those clothes Nate, the ones I have especially for when I come to visit." I say while looking into his eyes. After my eyes give a quick flash of color and he finally points under the bed.
"Leave Nate, I want to get changed."
"Yes, Leah. Anything you wish."
As Nate leaves I feel a little bad for playing with him. I have to remember though that it needs to be this way my parents can't know the truth just yet. Once I finally tell the truth, shit will break loose and there is going to be a big falling out. I just hope that when the time comes everything is prepared.
Once I finish dressing I head towards the main throne room. Taking my surroundings in, I can see that everyone has moved underground. This is strange, since they could not know about the war just yet.
"Leah, my girl there you are I was just telling my chief of defense that he needs a break. These rumours of war starting are just rumours. You think the old guy needs a vacay? I think so he hasn't taken one in over 30 years. He's getting senile I tell you." Harry states while smiling widely thinking he made a joke.
"Father that's not the nicest thing to say to your chief of Defense…"
"Leah, my dear when you have seen as many battles as I have you will understand where I am coming from."
"Yes father…" I back out; I know that now is not the time to bring up the part of me that they have no idea of. I can't mess this up the timing has to be perfect.
"Leah, dear how was your rest?" Mother says while waddling towards me.
"I'm good mother, and how is the little one doing?" How long since I've last been here?
"She's doing great! I love the pregnancy…Maybe one day, I will have a grandchild! Nate told us the wonderful news!" Caroline giggled while holding onto my arm. Geez she looks like she's about to burst…
"Yes mother, maybe one day but I'm not planning on having children at the moment"I state while prying her off my arm. I already have a wonderful child and while I really like Nathan he is not the one for me… Mating is a difficult thing to deal with and can be very messy. Especially, when a war is on the way.
"Hmm, in time then." Caroline states while heading over to Harry and the Chief of Defense.
If only they knew what was about to happen. sigh wish I could at least mention something.
A knock on the door stirs me from my thoguhts. As the solider enters I can tell that whatever he has to say will not sit well with my mother.
"Princess Leah, you have a visitor waiting for you upstairs. They say it's of an urgent matter and must be dealt with accordingly." The solider states while entering the room. Interesting a visitor I wonder who it could be.
"Do you know who it is?"
"No your highness, they did not give me those details. They are of the Dragon race however." The solider states as he heads back to his post.
"Leah, my dear… You need to stop seeing that Drake guy, I know he is a friend of yours but Nate hates him and as your husband his feelings should matter to you. Sides that Drake guy almost got you killed when you were younger, the dragons are a no good bunch."
"Enough mother you know nothing about Drake and about the dragons so back off." I yell storming out of the room. I know that it is not Drake upstairs but I'm curious as to who it might be. She had no right to say that just wait till she finds out…
