Chapter Twenty-One- Chasing Cars- Ending 2

"I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life"

-Snow Patrol- "Chasing Cars"

(Leah's POV)

Bella and I stood to go with the family into the woods. We all stopped when we noticed Seth was still standing next to the porch.

"What's wrong, Seth?" I asked my brother.

He looked up. "I just don't feel right about keeping Sam and the others out of this. Can't we go together?"

Rosalie rolled her eyes, but Carlisle thought about it. He went inside the house, we could hear him dialing Sam's number and talking to him. When he came back out he looked regretful and said, "They're on their way."

Rosalie huffed, clearly not happy with this. "That was a mistake, they'll only get in our way and let their emotions get the best of them. We should make them stay here."

Carlisle fixed his gaze on her, "Rosalie, they want to save their imprints, we can't exclude them."

We didn't have to wait long for Sam and the others. Sam came barreling out of the tree line with Paul, Jared, Quil and Embry behind him. Guess he left the younger ones at home.

Carlisle showed them our attack plan and we all set off. Just outside the city the Denali's lived in, Jasper sent Rosalie and Alice ahead. Alice was going to be far away from any wolves so she could try and get a read on the future. Using her visions to tell how many vampires were inside.

We all followed Jasper's plans and went to the position he'd pointed out to us. I was in wolf form with Carlisle and Embry.

Suddenly, Alice appeared through the trees next to us and said, "They have about ten vampires in there. Jasper says since we still have them outnumbered, we'll all go inside. Wait for his signal." She darted off to tell the others what Jasper had said.

Jasper's figure became visible through the tress and he waved his hand to go. Simultaneously, all of us emerged from the trees. Emmett kicked in the back door and Jasper tore off the front one.

We didn't have time to think, we just attacked. I was hit in the face, causing me to be dazed for a moment, but I recovered and swung my paw at the vampire who attacked me. I hit him in his side, sending him flying into the wall next to us. I instantly pounced on him and locked my jaws around his head, separating it from his body.

Dropping his head to the ground, I turned, but was promptly hit in my side, a blond vampire bitch clinging to my back. I tried to reach around to get her off but she held tight. She opened her mouth and I realized she was about to sink her teeth into my skin. I had a sudden vision of Bella, if I should die because of vampire venom, who would be around for her?

That was not about to happen. I violently shook my body side to side, the vampire bitch lost her grip and started to claw at my back. I growled from the pain, but started to shake her again. Another body suddenly flew into her, tackling her to the ground. I realized it was little Alice, swooping in from somewhere to save me.

She hit the blond in the face, an earsplitting crack sounded throughout the room. The blond kicked at Alice and started screaming, "How can you defend them!? We're family!"

The blond kicked again, connecting with Alice's shoulder, sending Alice tumbling to the floor. I grabbed the blond by her leg before she could get up. Alice jumped to her feet and pounced on the blond. I roughly jerked my head sideways, tearing the blond's leg away from her body.

She screamed, and continued screaming until Alice and I had completely dismembered her. She cursed us both and spit at us as Alice gripped her head to finish her off. Alice kicked the blond's head out of the way and gasped suddenly, "Bella!"

Panicking, I looked to my left and my heart nearly came out of my chest when I saw Bella get tackled to the ground. I bounded across the room and tackled the vampire off my love. Acting on instinct, Bella lurched off the floor and onto the vampire. The vampire swung at her, but I jumped out and caught his arm in my mouth. The vampire screamed as Bella placed her hands on either side of his head and ripped his head from his body.

I managed to tear off his other arm before I heard Emily's scream, "Sam!" I whirled around, all the commotion in the room stopped. I looked in the direction that Emily's voice had come, all I saw was a vampire….

Emily. Her copper skin looked whiter, her scars were healed, almost non-existent on her face. I looked into her eyes, once a deep brown but now they were a light crimson. My eyes widened at the realization, Emily was a vampire.

My eyes searched for Sam, who was standing still as a statue, staring at Emily. Then he tilted his head back and let out a heartbreaking howl. No one in the room moved a single centimeter.

I glanced around, noticing that the only vampires in the room were the Cullen's, and now Emily. I guessed we'd either killed the other vampires, or they ran off without us noticing.

Carlisle broke the tense silence, "We need to burn these pieces now." Everyone came back to life, so to speak, then and we gathered all the pieces of the fallen vampires. Jasper's surprise attack plan had worked like a charm. None of us were seriously hurt. I started to phase back, but I realized I didn't grab my clothes before we left the house, and I was not about to go naked here.

Alice appeared at my side and handed me some clothes. I took them in my mouth and went down the hall to phase. I quickly dressed and returned to the room where the rest of the family was waiting.

Bella was walking into the room with Claire in her arms and Kim by her side. Kim had a few cuts and bruises, but was mostly unharmed. She ran straight into Jared's arms. Claire didn't appear to have a scratch on her, but that didn't stop Quil from looking her over three or four times.

We all turned to Emily, who was still being stared at by Sam. He had yet to speak a single word. He shook his head and finally whispered, "Why?"

Emily looked down. "They bit me right after we got here. I only just woke up this morning. I didn't know what happened, I just know that when I was driving home from Charlie's house I was human. I woke up this morning as a vampire," she looked up into Sam's eyes. "You still love me right?"

Sam didn't speak. Jasper spoke up, "If you only just rose this morning, it's too dangerous for you to be around any wolves right now. You should come home and stay with us for a few days. When your control is better, you can go home." His eyes shifted to Sam, "That is, of course, if Sam will allow vampires in La Push."

Emily looked as if she could cry, if she were still human. She nodded to Jasper and said, "I'll stay with you guys. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hurt anyone, especially one of the wolves or anyone on the reservation."

Sam closed his eyes and said, "I can allow that." Esme went to Emily's side and led her out the back door so she wouldn't be near any wolves. Emmett and Jasper followed them.

Rosalie gritted her teeth. "So when Edward kidnaps Bella and turns her into a vampire against her will, you forbid Leah from ever seeing her again."

Carlisle broke in, "Rosalie, not now."

She ignored him, "You didn't think of how they would be affected from being apart, did you? And now that your fiancé has been kidnapped and turned against her will, you're ready to open up the gates of La Push and allow her to still live there, despite the fact that she's a vampire? A bit hypocritical don't you think? You wouldn't let Leah see Bella but you're changing the rules to allow Emily to stay with you?"

Sam just stared at his feet before saying, "This is different."

"How? How is this different?" Rosalie demanded. "Is it different because Bella was, as you called her, a leech lover, because she used to date a vampire? Is that why? Or is it because Leah is your ex-girlfriend and you got some secret pleasure from being able to control her?"

My eyes widened at her statement, but I wasn't about to interrupt Rose. She was glaring daggers at Sam. "Or is this situation different because you're the Alpha and you can do what you want, regardless of what's fair, or safe or even smart? If Kim had been turned would you still allow Jared to see her?"

Sam didn't answer, but Rosalie didn't expect him to. She continued on, "No, you wouldn't. You would banish Kim from La Push and would probably become a part of our family as Bella had and Jared would join Jacob's pack just so that he would be able to see her. But it wasn't Kim who was turned, it was your precious Emily. Tell me, Sam, how will it feel when Emily decides she wants to join our family, what will you do? Join Jacob's pack and serve under him, as is your rightful place? Or will you just cut Emily from your life. She is a vampire after all."

Sam roared and leapt across the room, lunging for Rosalie's throat. She kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying across the room. She started to pounce on him, but I wrapped my arms around her stomach, holding her back. Carlisle stepped in front of her and grabbed her face. "Rose, that's enough," he said firmly.

Jared and Embry helped Sam to his feet. Sam pushed them off and ran out the front door, leaving us all behind.

"I guess it's time for us to go, then," Carlisle said. I released Rosalie and we filed out the door.

Six Months Later (This is pretty similar to the first ending, actually)

Emily had adjusted to her new vampire status exceedingly well. She hadn't seen Sam since the day she was turned, but she knew she'd see him soon enough. Her eyes were already golden.

Since Emily had been staying with the Cullen's, Leah knew it wouldn't be safe for her at the house. So Bella and Leah had moved away, breaking away from the Cullen family for a short time. They were living in a small flat in London. They enjoyed having time alone without the sensitive ears of others listening in.

The girls would be rejoining the Cullen's soon enough. After Sam had marched out of the Denali's house, he'd stepped down as the Alpha and Jacob had taken over, merging the two packs to one.

Emily would be going back to Sam and the Cullen's would all be moving to Sweden. Leah and Bella would be flying out soon. Though Leah would be across the globe, she'd promised her loyalty to Jacob and would assist him in any way if he needed her. Thinking back on the whole situation, Leah found it comical the way her relationship with Jacob had changed. She'd been so resentful toward him for pining after Bella, then she'd truly hated him because he'd kissed Bella and told her awful things. It seemed like so long ago, and after he'd taken over the Alpha position from Sam, she'd forgiven him for what he did wrong.

Bella placed her last suitcase by the door. She already had two packed full and waiting by the door with Leah's three bags. Bella clapped her hands together and said, "Well, that's everything. Are you ready?" she turned to face her girlfriend.

Leah was sitting on the couch in a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants, ready for the long flight to Sweden. She smiled at Bella, "Yup, I'm ready." Bella returned her smile and walked slowly over to Leah.

"We have a little bit of time before we have to leave, you know," Bella purred seductively.

Leah licked her lips and sat up. Bella had become more open with sex since she didn't have to worry about Emmett teasing her about it later on. Leah found that her girlfriend was quite the sex kitten. Bella liked the kink, too.

Bella crawled into Leah's lap, straddling her and pushed her lips against Leah's. Her tongue danced around with Leah's, her hands slipping under Leah's shirt to fondle her breasts. Leah moaned quietly and Bella smiled into their kiss. Leah pushed her lover back on the floor of their flat, straddling her waist. Bella reached up and pulled Leah's shirt over her head.

Leah was briefly glad she didn't rip it, as they didn't have any other clothes, since everything had been packed up. Leah didn't have time to think about it too much, though, as Bella caught her nipple in her mouth. She swirled her tongue around Leah's nipple, and pinched my other one between her fingers. With her mouth and one hand busy, she reached into Leah's pants with her other hand. Wetness instantly pooled between her legs as Bella's icy touch found Leah's hot, throbbing center.

Leah growled and pushed her away so she could kiss her. Trailing kissed along her jaw line, and attacking her neck with her lips. Bella's hands tangled into Leah's hair, trying to force my kisses lower. She flipped them over so she was on top of Leah. Her hand found its way back into Leah's pants and began working her magic between Leah's folds.

Leah pushed her hips against Bella's hand, losing herself in the sensations Bella was creating in her body. Leah's back arched against Bella, pushing their breasts together and Leah came against Bella's hand.

Bella pulled Leah's face to hers and kissed her deeply as Leah slipped her hand into Bella's pants to return the favor. Leah wanted nothing more than to taste Bella's sweet juices that were running down her fingers, but she knew they had to be leaving for the airport soon. When Bella came, she screamed out in ecstasy and kissed Leah, her tongue tasting sweet against Leah's.

Leah withdrew her hand from Bella's pants and stood up, holding out her hand to Bella and pulling her to her feet. Bella laced her fingers through Leah's and leaned up and kissed her again. "I love you," she breathily whispered against Leah's lips.

"As I love you," Leah whispered back. Bella smiled and sat back down on the couch.

"I can't believe everything we've been through, with Edward and Sam, you know?" Bella said,

Leah nodded. "We're going to do a lot more though. Sweden is just the first of many places we're going to live in. I'm excited about that," she said.

Bella nodded. "I just hope the rest of our existence won't be filled with so much drama," she said it as a joke, but both girls knew she was dead serious.

Leah nodded in agreement. "Even if we do face more drama, I won't let anything happen to you."

Bella smiled. "I know, you've kept your promise so far. I guess I owe you something now," she said as she leaned up to kiss Leah's cheek.

"That you do, Bella," Leah smiled.

"Leah, what are we going to do?" Bella asked suddenly, her voice had a trace of panic.

Leah's features twisted in confusion. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Bella pulled away from her and turned on the couch to face her love. "What are we going to do about us? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. You know since I'm a vampire I'm immortal. So what about you?" she asked softly.

"Bells, as long as I keep phasing I'll live forever too, you know," Leah told her. She took Bella's hand in hers.

"I know, but I couldn't ask you to do that," she almost whispered.

Leah scoffed. "You don't have to ask me. Besides I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for me," she said.

Bella looked up. "What do you mean?"

Leah smiled. "Why would I want to live a normal life and then die when I can be a werewolf forever and stay by your side for all of eternity?"

"Do you even want to be a wolf forever? Do you like it that much?" Bella asked.

Leah thought about this. "I didn't like it before, but I do now. I like feeling the wind in my fur, I like the speed and I like knowing that I can protect you, even if you don't need to be protected," she said quickly when she saw Bella was about to speak.

Bella smiled at this and lay down on the couch, Leah lying down next to her. Bella tilted her head to look at Leah and said, "So I get to stay like this with you forever?"

Leah nodded. "For all of eternity."

Bella pressed her lips to Leah's. The kiss held so much emotion for both of the girls. It was a kiss full of love and promise; it was a promise that their love would last for eternity.
