A/N: Hey Hey! This is the 3rd installment of The Dimprint Series so I suggest reading The Dimprint, and In Bliss and Agony before reading this. hmmm the italics button isn't listening to me...anyway enjoy


The forest is silent. There is no wind. The sky is eerily dark. She looks for the stars, but there's only one. The Sun. It didn't make sense.

Why isn't it lighting up the sky?

She turns around still peering into the sky for clouds, trying to make sense of this strange place. The moon is in the sky as well, but she can clearly see the sun still…the useless sun.

She spots a woman. The woman runs away. She follows. The woman momentarily disappears then reappears. She takes note of her surroundings.

"This is LaPush?" She asks the woman who still has her back to her pursuer."I know this place."

"Every Superman needs his fortress of solitude." At this the woman turns around.

"Emily?" She smiles. "How are y-you're dead."

"That I am Leah. This is your haven correct?" Her voice is distant, softer and sweeter than Leah remembered it. Or maybe it had always been like this and she just coated in her mind with disgust. Leah looked down at Emily and took note of her bulging stomach.

"Why are you still pregnant?" Emily laughed.

"I assure you, there's no baby in here. This is the last way you remember me alive I suppose."

"This is a dream." Leah states. Emily nods. "Why did you bring me here?" Leah looks around the forest area that had kept her safe during the storm and where she had met Tamyra. Emily looked around the area as well before answering.

"Truthfully I was curious about the place that took my place in your life." Leah shook her head in disagreement.

"Em nothing took your place. This-this area just kept me out of some rain, it was purely logical on the dimprint's part-"

"That's what you're missing Leah. Do you think it was a coincidence that the place you felt the safest, the most secure, the happiest-was away from me?" Emily questioned sadly.

"Emily don't you dare make this about you. It was the storm that knocked out the electricity that night when we were talking on the phone."

"You met her here."

"Yes this is where I first met Tamyra but that means nothing. The dimprint bonded us together I had no control over that!"

"So you admit it?"Emily asked staring straight into Leah's eyes.

"Admit what?"

"That you can't fight the imprint-"

"I admitted that I had no control over my dimprint! I didn't say a thing about that silly excuse for a soul mate finder! Don't think you can trick me into believing I'm the same as Sam!"

"I'm sorry-"

"I'm beyond sick of hearing that. Emily why are you so jealous anyways? You're dead for crying out loud!"

"The last month of my pregnancy, I started having these dreams…not unlike this one but I was in your place and-and-"

"Emily who were you talking to?" Leah asked concerned as to why the girl was having such trouble explaining.

"Your father. He told me that when the baby was born, I would never see you again. I didn't think anything of it until you came to my house that day and I watched you collapse to the ground in pain. I knew then that something was going to happen. I thought that if I kept you near me, you would be safe but with Sam around I hardly saw you. He was so supportive I just-I let everyone believe it was the hormones because I needed you to be there at the birth. I was so sure…I was so sure you were going to die. I wanted to stop it from happening. I didn't accept it until-"

"-until I left you during Leo's birth," Leah finished for her."You accepted my fate, that's why you gave me that look." Leah thought back to the last moments she shared with Emily before leaving her mid birth.

"Leah that wasn't your fate, it was mine but you have to understand. When you wake up, the world is going to seem… different." Leah huffed in true aggravation.

"How much different can it get? I just got hurt in one of the last few ways where I can't heal. Everyone either expects me to go back to being a depressed harpy or bounce back immediately. I don't have the energy to do either!" Leah plopped to the ground exasperated. Emily's eyes turned kind once more as she took a few timid steps toward Leah.

"I know that you're weary from all the things that have happened to you but I can't let you give up. I see that look of defeat in your eyes. You've always been strong but that look comes and goes and it always made my heart ache." Emily lowered herself to Leah's level who still had not looked back into the other girl's eyes. "You're gonna have to find a way to heal from this, and then you're going to have to find a way to rise above it."

"Why?" Leah asked angrily.

"Because too many people are depending on you to do so. Because you're the only one that can." Emily rubbed Leah's shoulder. Leah flinched realizing that she could feel the ghost like Emily. The two continued on like this in silence. They didn't know how long because time held no weight in this dream world.

"Have you haunted Sam like this?"Leah asked whispering.

"He hasn't let me in his dreams for the past week or so…"Emily trailed off then rose to her full height to walk a few steps away from Leah.

"You're the one I've been dreaming about. This is the dream I haven't been able to remember every night since…then." Emily nodded her confirmation, "Is that why you're bothering me now?"

"It wasn't the only reason but I was hoping that you could talk to him."

"Sure sure,"Leah agreed upon realizing which 'him' she was talking about. "But how am I going to remember? I'll forget this as soon as I wake up."

"Did you forget who is mentally connected to you?"Emily said while tapping her head, "Whatever you forget…she'll remember. And whatever she forgets I'm sure the mind searching leech will gladly fill in the missing details." The two chuckled. When they settled back into a comfortable silence Leah stood.

"Emily I wish-I wish things could have been different."

"Don't we all?" Emily revealed a smile that caused Leah to crack one of her own. Leah finally gave in and jogged to Emily. She wrapped the girl in a tight hug. It was eagerly returned.

"Em…you're starting to smell a lot like Seth…and Jacob."

"Hmm?" Emily's voice questioned distantly.

"Emily I think I'm waking-"

Bright light flooded into the already white room. Leah could faintly hear the buzzing of machines. At first she believed she was in a hospital but when the strong concentration of sickly sweet hit her nose she knew where she was. When some of the grogginess left her eyes she turned to her right side and met eyes with her Cullen hospital roommate.

"Leah I'm so jealous of you right now." Tamyra stated.

"Why?" Leah said her voice cracking slightly from having just woken.

"You have such vivid dreams."
