Thank you so much anna-marie-diamondheart-900 and TeamComrade11 for your kind reviews. Both of you made my day and TeamComrade11 you made this author very happy with your comments; I may have squealed and possibly got a little teary eyed (I'm just an emotional person lol) I hope everyone enjoys this chapter and it may answer some questions some of you have. Please enjoy!
"Eyota?" my eyes stared blankly into the darkness of the sky. My vision of the gloomy sky was blocked by Kota's worried face. He bent down grabbing my face so I would look at him. "How's Jacob", my heart fluttered and Kota's face dropped.
"Jacob", I murmured with love and affection. He shook his head catching my shoulders and pulling me up.
"This is what I was afraid of…I should have made you wear your glasses" he whispered. I turned to look at him in confusion.
"What", I whispered. He stared at me and I ripped myself back from him.
"Please understand Eyota I was just doing what I thought what best", he told me his hands out to try to touch me.
"My glasses? What did they do", I ordered him to answer with narrowed eyes. He sighed rubbing his neck, guilt ridden across his face.
Flashback
"Kota!" Kota shot up from his seat running to the door meeting a fourteen year old weeping Eyota.
"Eyota what's wrong", she sniffed wiping at her eyes.
"Stupid Johnny kissed me! He took my first kiss away", Eyota stepped over hugging her tightly.
"It's alright little one, he's just confused. So sit down I'll make you something to eat", she took in a deep breath nodding. Kota stepped into the kitchen breathing deeply his hand tightening. He turned to the phone lifting it up and dialing a number.
"Greetings Kota what can I do you", the warm scratchy voice of Makah medicine woman filled his ears.
"You told me once…about special seals that can keep away the imprinting…do they work" the line was quiet.
"Yes it is…but this is a serious matter Kota. Do you know you'll be messing with fate with this kind of seal", she warned.
"I can't allow her to be emotional compromised…I don't want her to hurt anymore than she does. Imprinting will just make it worse", he answered tears welding in his eyes.
"…Alright Kota, how you would like to seal to be placed", she asked.
"Glasses, a pair of glasses"
Flashback ends
"How could you Kota", I whispered painfully slipping past him.
"I'm so sorry Eyota, I just didn't want you to experience anymore heartache", he whispered walking closer to me. I shoved my hands out in front of me making him stop.
"You know how much I longed to end this loneliness I…" I shook my head in disgust. I couldn't wrap my head around it, how could Kota take away my choice, my chance at love without even asking me. "I'm gonna be gone for a few days…tell the guys", I took off in the forest needing to get away from this place to clear my head.
Sam's POV- Days later
"Do you know…if she's coming" I looked over at Emily who was cutting into fruit. The table was filled with food for the celebration we were having for the defeat of the newborns.
"I can't be sure. Kota told me she said a few days; who knows how long that will take", I answered her honestly. While I understood who shock of imprinting I thought it was irresponsible for her to leave her pack alone like that.
"I don't understand, when you imprint it's a joyous thing not something for you to run away from", Emily told me her brow scrunched up. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind leaning my chin on her shoulder.
"She's imprinted on a man who loves a girl whose choice is to be made into a leech, I can understand her confusion", I murmured gently. She nodded before sighing and shaking her head her guilt for Eyota obvious.
I turned when the loud voice of my pack and the Makah pack was outside.
"Well everyone's here, good", she smiled and I kissed her scars gently my love her making my heart warm. She smiled into my lips before handing me a bowl to take outside.
I stepped out sitting the table on a table set outside. I smiled kindly at each Makah member, however you could tell their sadness to their missing Alpha. Everyone cheered when Jacob walked slowly over to us a small smirk on his face. His side was still sore but he overall was healed well.
Eyota's POV
My feet silently padded against the wet grass as the wind blew. I sighed loudly and when I exhaled my breath went upward in little puffs. It was chilly outside today yet my body didn't feel it one bit. I paused when the similar trees cleared and I stared at my home. My feet padded silently on the wooden porch my eyes blankly staring at the door.
I twisted the knob and as always it opened with no resistance. The house was silent and I couldn't hear Kota's heartbeat. I gave no interest to anything except walking up the steps to the bathroom.
I slipped into the bathroom and turned the faucet burning hot. I stripped my clothes away and leaned my head back enjoying the warm water of a shower and not the cold water of the streams and rivers.
The water was a dark brown and sticks and twigs caught in the drain. I scrubbed away till my skin was raw. I shut the shower off it cold from my long shower. I slipped out standing in front of the mirror wiping away the fog on it. My hair was knotted in different places, my cheeks had hollowed a little, and there were bags under my eyes.
I snorted loudly; the Canadian forests hadn't been kind to me. I went at my hair with a brush before yanking on a pair of jeans and a tank top covering it with a plaid button up rolling the sleeves to my elbows.
I found my Doc Martins and yanked them on it a strange feeling to have shoes on again. I climbed down the steps making myself something to eat. I sat at the island staring into space.
I had returned when I realized my mistake of leaving. A real leader didn't run from pain, they faced it head on. The world I had known had been ripped out from under me, I thought I knew who I could trust but my whole belief system was shaken. I knew that my job, my destiny with the Cullens wasn't done yet. I still had a job and a responsibility.
I still couldn't wrap my head around the thought I had imprinted. The pain in my chest increased when I thought of Jacob's lips on mine. I had run from my imprint, a mistake of course since I had felt terrible since then. I always questioned if the pain from being far away from your imprint was true and they were.
I brushed my hair behind my ear slipping out the house knowing where I needed to go. I shoved my hands into my jean pockets walking slowly to the Quileute reservation. I had no idea how to handle being uncontrollably in love with a man who loved a leech lover. I wasn't an idiot I had seen during training how he longer for with his eyes. My heart hurt with indescribable pain of the thought of him loving her. I wasn't sure how I'd handle the pain of him loving another woman but I would have to try. I wouldn't be weak anymore; I needed to be strong for my pack.
I would be strong for them.
Well tried my best, I wanted to convey a little more weakness in Eyota. How will she handle now having a true weakness in her heart? Guess we'll just have to wait and see ; ) I hope every enjoyed the chapter and please review! Much love!
