The week had passed pretty quickly, the leech that was after Bella hadn't returned yet; Jacob had finally made amends with his 'friend' though they had stopped talking for a majority of the week. It was the morning of the day that Billy, my mom, Sam and old Quil planned to spend the night at the Quileute bonfire, where Leah, Quil and I along with the rest of the pack would get to listen to all the old legends and stories. I had heard some of the stories before, but never believed in them...until now.
It was then that Leah came into my room to explain something to me, her eyes were worried, her expression pained, but she was shaking, she was angry- and I didn't know what for. Leah was not a big fan that Jacob was spending all his time with a leech lover, she confessed to me that it was bring shame on the pack, going against what we existed too do, destroy vampires.
"Hey Leah, what's up?" I asked, pretending not to notice that she was shaking.
"Stinking, filthy, leeches." She muttered.
I jumped to obvious conclusion.
"She's back!" I gasped.
"No, not her, it's a different one."
"What? . . . What do you mean?"
Leah sighed, and then sat down and explained, "So I just got off the phone to Sam, who had just been to see Jacob, who had just got back from Bella's place. Apparently there's been a leech in her room, and none of the Cullen's recognizes the scent, Jacob and that bloodsucker, the one who reads minds-"
"Edward." I told her.
"Yeah, you know I don't care anyway, but yeah, they followed the trail but it came to end of the road, had a car waiting. So now there all hyped up about another vamp in town, but Jacob's worried, whoever it was left Charlie alive, and they were playing with the holes in the physic leeches vision. We don't know what happened yet, or why she didn't see anything but Sam's pretty worked up about it, it's bad enough having the red-headed bloodsucker on our lands after Bella, now we got some leech no one knows in her room. It's not looking good for her."
I didn't know what to say. I was truly baffled.
"Hey, don't worry about it, Kay? Bella's got all the vampires protecting her and a whole pack of wolves, what's the worst that can happen?"
Leah rolled her eyes, "It's not Bella that im worried about."
"Then who?" I wondered.
"You, Seth."
Surprised, I laughed.
"What?" I demanded, "You're seriously worrying about me? It's not me the leech is after."
Leah glared at me, not amused that I was laughing at her, sure this conversation was in no way humorous, but the thought of Leah wasting time worrying about me was pitiful, I had to laugh. She'd do the same if it was the other way around. Though, I did worry about her, too, being the only girl in the pack . . .
"Are you finished!" Leah demanded, annoyed.
"Yeah, go on, spill the beans- why are you worried about me?" I asked.
"Well, you're fifteen, still a kid- and all you seem to want to do is run around as a giant wolf chasing- and killing- dangerous, leeches that are trying to kill the humans of Forks, and probably the reservation, too."
"So what." I complained, "I like doing it, there's fun stuff about it too, like the speed, the freedom, it's not ruining my life or anything so you might as well stop worrying."
"But it is ruining you're life Seth, don't you see. This kind of stuff isn't right, especially for a fifteen year old boy. Do you know Quil imprinted on Emily's niece last night? Yeah; well he did, her names Claire, and she's two. Quil will have to wait for about sixteen years before Claire is the same age as him. What if you imprint on a two year old, you'll have no life, no girlfriends cause there'll only be her and she'll be a baby."
I shrugged, "so what if I do, im sure Quil doesn't mind that much. He'll act like her big brother, or carer, there wont be nothing romantic about it, and he wont want girlfriends cause there will only be her."
I reminded her, "we've all seen it in Sam's and Jared's thoughts, it's the way it is. We didn't choose it, it's who we are. In our blood, you know that better than I do, so why all the fuss?"
"I know Seth, but just because it's who we are, it doesn't mean I have to like it."
"No, you don't have to like it, I don't have to like it either, but I do." I told her simply pleading silently with her to understand and stop worrying.
"Fine, you're choice." Leah whispered, but I could see it in her eyes that my words didn't affect her in any way- she'd still be silly and worry herself sick.
