Chapter Three

Leah Point of View

It has been a week since I have imprinted on that hot temperamental guy with light blondish brown hair and blue eyes. I have gone my way out trying to find that guy, but I didn't have any luck. I went everywhere in New Orleans. I felt like I have gone everywhere. I just hoped that he wasn't a tourist and already left New Orleans. My wolf has been stir crazy underneath my skin. I could feel her itching to be let out, and to be able to run wild. It sucked that there wasn't a forest anywhere close by that I could let her out to run.

I still haven't heard anything from my family or the pack. I don't know if they realized that I was gone or they just didn't care. I felt like my wolf was also missing her pack. That was a first. She hated how the other members treated us, but now she misses them to the point she wants just to drop everything and go back to them.

I wasn't going to give into her demands. I wasn't going to go back to La Push and be treated like a doormat. Besides, I found my imprint, and I wasn't going to let him slip through the cracks.

I decided today that I was going to let my wolf run around the woods in the bayou. I never realized that today was the day that I find my imprint again.

Sue's point of View

"Mom," said Seth as he came into the house. He gave me a pitying look as he sat down near me at the kitchen table. In between us was the letter that Leah left us. I just couldn't believe that she was gone and only left us a note. She couldn't even stick around to say a proper good bye. I didn't know if I had the guts to call her or not. I was angry, upset, sad, and furious. I hated that she couldn't come to me so that we could have a heart to heart. "Are we going to call Leah?"

"I don't know, son."

Seth sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "I can understand why she left; I just didn't know why she couldn't tell us that she was so unhappy here. We would have let her go. We knew that she was going to have a hard time with Emily being pregnant."

"I know, son, I also didn't help her at all. I was so focused that a member of the pack was having a baby that I didn't think how it would affect Leah. I was so happy that Emily asked me to be the pseudo-grandma to her daughter that I lost my senses. I knew that there was a chance that Leah might not be able to have any children, that this might be the only way that I can spoil a baby."

"We don't know if Leah can have kids. We don't even know if she would want any children after all this supernatural crap. Besides you will have your grandchildren someday, from Natalee and I, just not that soon."

Natalee, Seth's imprint, was different from the other imprints. She was an outsider that grew up somewhere in Louisiana and is living with her grandmother down in Port Angeles. She had bright red hair and light blue eyes. She was a sweet girl, but I had the feeling that there was something wrong with her. When Seth told her the secret, she was just so calm about it, too calm. That was one thing that I thought was different about her. She didn't even bother to ask Seth or any of the other elders any questions about the wolves. It seemed that she knew that they were already wolves and she didn't have any questions. She also stayed away from the Cullen's, mostly Edward. I just had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with her.

I ran my fingers over the top of Leah's letter. I was concerned that she might not want us to call her. I was afraid that she might have changed her number since we didn't call her so soon.

"Were going to talk to your sister," I told Seth. "We need to make it right with her. I just hope it isn't too late."

Leah's point of view

I smiled as I tied my clothing to my leg. It felt weird being naked out here in the hot bayou. The mosquitos were nasty, and there were more here than in Forks and La Push. I hope I just don't get caught out here naked; where I'm far from home and there will be no one to get me any clothing. I shifted pretty quickly and headed out.

I spent two hours running around the bayou. I past many trees and creaks. I loved the feeling of being free. Having the wind flow through my gray fur. I could feel all my current stress and worry sweep away. I slowly walked near a body of water and laid down in the shade near a giant oak tree.

"I know that you guys don't particularly like Klaus," said a woman's voice loudly. "Hell I don't even like him, but I'm tolerating him for the sake of our child. Marcel and the vampires have been controlling us for way too long. Now the witches are even getting back at the vampires. We need to stand up to them. We need to protect our people. We can't be living in fear any longer. I know many of you are scared. I'm scared. So scared. I'm having a miracle baby during a war. A war we need to win. I don't want my daughter to grow up with this fighting. I don't want any of our children to grow up like this. We need to be united. We need to have some faith in Klaus."

"That Hybrid," spat a male. "Why should we trust the Hybrid?"

"He is the only one who can help us," responded the female. "I know many of use recently met me three months when I contributed to getting rid of the curse. I know many of you don't like the fact that I have slept with Klaus and is carrying his child. We need to move past this. This constant arguing won't get us anywhere."

"Hayley's right," said another voice.

"Klaus," said Hayley. "What are you doing out here in the bayou?"

"I'm looking for someone," he stated. "It seems that you have an eas dropper out here."

"What are you talking about?" demanded Hayley.

I held my breath. How did he know that I was listening to them? I was hidden by the trees and the shrubs. There was no way that they could see me.

"There's a fast heartbeat coming from the woods," he commented. "I thought that most of your wolves would be out here listening to their leader."

"All of the wolves are here," said another male voice, who was gruff.

"Jackson," said Klaus.

I carefully peaked out from behind the bushes. Jackson was hot. He had curly brown hair. He was wearing a plaid shirt, like the ones Charlie Swan always wears. He stood next to Hayley.

My eyes then landed on Klaus. My heart started pounding in my chest. He was here, standing in this forest. I couldn't believe that I found him. My imprint. I took a deep breath trying to calm down my pounding heart. I didn't want them to find me.

Startled I jumped, when my phone started buzzing. Shit, I thought to myself. Why did my mom have the worst time to call me? I frantically turned back to my human self. I reached towards my bottom of my cafe where I had my clothing tied to my leg. I reached into my jean pocket and pulled out my cell phone. I turned the ringer off.

"Well, well, well... what do we have here?" asked my imprint with a smirk on his handsome face. He eyed my naked body. He turned his head to the side where there Hayley and Jackson stood. "I believe that I have found your eavesdropper."
