Out of everything that's happened in the past week, with the bloodsucker meeting and everything, Sam still has all of us meeting up together for nightly patrols. For once I understand why…just in case there's anyone still snooping around but there's a low chance that would happen.

Jacob had told me and Seth to stick with Sam's pack for a couple of weeks just until things relaxed a bit. He said he would stay too…I wonder how that's gonna work out.

I was in a great mood when I joined Jacobs pack but what does he do? He just throws me right back to the sharks. Like I wasn't already drowning. I think I would have rather slept in the bloodsuckers house then to be ruled by Sam again.

Stupid Jacob. He knew better. He even understood why I joined his pack. How could he just join back up with Sam again? For a couple of weeks? In the time being they'll probably make up and be the best little buddies again.

Where does that leave me? Stuck in hell for the rest of my life.

Aww come on Leah, it's not that bad. Embry thought.

Just shut up and keep your thoughts to yourself. I growled.

Ease up Leah. Sam told me. Why don't you just sell me to the leeches too?

Wish we could, cuz if I could…well it's better if you didn't know. Paul said. This time I turned my head from Sam to Paul and took my time to growl at him. While he pictured selling me to leeches I pictured myself snapping his head off and then marking my territory.

I chuckled to myself but what made me stop was Jacob's little thought in the back of his head.

And here I thought that Leah was starting to change.

Guilt immediately washed over and my stupid wolf form let out a whine. I didn't want to be annoying or bitter towards Jacob or Seth. We were the best pack before we reunited. I backed off of Paul and decided that the ground interested me more.

Now Jacob feels sorry for me. He knows I deserved it though because like he said before…I usually bring this crap onto myself.

Damn straight. Paul thought again.

A couple of pairs of eyes turned towards me waiting to see my reaction but I had none so Sam continued with his meeting. He would have anyway even if I did say something. Whatever.

The one thing I don't understand is that we have fifteen other werewolves out here…or "Shape shifters" as the royal leeches called it…and Sam plans on sending me, Jacob, Embry, Quil, and Brady out to the woods for patrol. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't raining so freaking hard.

I can deal with it though. I need my space and some fresh air away from the other mutts.

Leah, the world doesn't revolve around you. My brother told me. A couple of the others laughed at this remarked. I backed up a couple more steps keeping my head low. Getting dissed by Seth was probably one of the worst feelings in the world.

I'm sorry…and I meant it too. I should really learn how to keep my mouth shut…or my thoughts.

You got that right. Paul again. Why?

Knock it off Paul. She already apologized. Wow he actually stood up for me.

Don't get use to it. Jake said, and there goes my hope. Comes and goes.

She's not really sorry, we all know it. Paul stated and it was true. Everyone was thinking the same thing except for Seth, Jake, Quil, and Embry. Some of them expected me to snap off Paul's head right then and there but I guess I deserve this after so many times I dissed them. If this make it even then let him do his worst.

Not even close to even…

Stop it Paul. Back to the matter at hand…everyone is to head back home now except for the patrollers.

And with that the group broke apart. I was the first run off. I headed towards the direction I was ordered too and started sniffing out the area.

My head started to feel a lot lighter after everyone phased to their human forms. And unfortunately I was still the only girlie-wolf out of the bunch.

I continued to sprint down course finding only one scent that belonged to one of the leeches? It was Emmet's...I think he forgot where the border line is. It smelled like he'd been here two or three days ago and I'm not going to fret about it. I was too tired, and it wasn't worth the trip to go over and bite his ass.

That's because you know he would kick your ass. Embry thought imagining the scene.

I felt Quil and Brady wince. Ha Ha like he could ever catch me.

You never know. I rolled my eyes at him and he probably felt it but I don't care.

After two hours of running around in circles, Jacob finally called us in. It was hailing now along with the rain. The wind made it even worse when all of the pieces of ice started getting into my eyes. I'd bet it would hurt more if I was just a normal human.

Through Brady's eyes I saw that the power had gone off in La Plush right before he phased. I was a good five minutes away still, the last one in like always but thats only because I have more area to cover.

Hurry up Leah Quil said before he phased right along with Embry.

Oh gee, like I wasn't the fastest one here or anything.

Jacob chuckled at the thought but sat near the edge of the forest waiting for me. How nice

I couldn't just leave you out here. You would probably get lost or something and I'm not in the mood for finding you.

Just phase already, I'm almost there. If you wouldn't come find me if I was lost then you shouldn't have to wait for me.

Ha ha, I already made him feel sorry. Again.

I am sorry Leah. You know I didn't mean it. Jacob's been extremely nice to me ever since he'd imprinted on the infant.

Don't you ever call Nessie that again. Jacob growled.

Jacob? I have a question for you. If Nessie and I were both drowning in the ocean and you were the only one to save us...who would you save if you had to make a choice?

Jake was taken aback by the question and he tried to imagine both of us drowning. Again, how sweet.

Honestly I think we would all end up dead 'cuz I would try and save both of you no matter what. It wasn't all that of an honest answer because I searched through his thoughts and I found that he would actually pull the infant out of the water first hoping my werewolf instincts would save me.

Oh come on Leah. What kind of question is that anyways?

I don't know I was just wondering. Just go and phase Jake. I don't need you.

Fine. Meet us inside of Emily's house. I heard she made dinner before the power went out. Later

And with that he phased. I was almost there and I didn't need a babysitter to walk me over to the house. I really hope that only a couple of people are at the place because if nine werewolves made the place feel small I wonder what sixteen of them would make it feel like.

I reached the end of the forest and started to phase right before I overheard Paul and Jared talking. I stayed with my wolf form for the super extra hearing sense that was a big plus in life.

"God I still hate her! She's such a bitch! She only talks about her self and only mopes about herself as well. I swear if I was Alpha she would be long gone by now."

"Paul, she's getting better. She's trying hard to keep her temper under control." Jared said.

"There's nothing to get mad about. Sam can't help that he fell in love with Emily. We all now Sam and Leah would be married by now if we weren't werewolves but thats our life and life moves on. She doesn't need to be a bitter harpy all the time, for all I care she can go and fuck off."

"Just let it go man."

"How can you say that? After all the times she's embarrassed you and made you loose your temper. How can you just stick up for her?"

"I would never stick up for her unless it was a pretty damn good reason."

"Well is it?" Paul asked.

"No."

"Exactly. I'm just glad she's not coming with us."

With them? Where?

"Your not gonna invite her? Still? Come on Paul now thats hardly fair. Fifteen of the guys are going but your not gonna let Leah come dirt biking with us? You'll just get her mad again."

"First of all, the key word was guys. Second of all she said I could do my worst. Third of all I hate that bitch and if I can try and help it I'll avoid her for the next coupe of years."

"Whatever it's your funeral."

"She can't even get a scratch on me. Fuck her, I'm starved. You going to Emily's?"

"Ya, I'll come with y-"

I don't know why Jared cut off mid sentence...I was actually interested in this conversation. They both looked over in my general area, their eyes wary.

"Leah" Both of them whispered at the same time. How? I didn't even move.

But I was growling. So thats what gave me away...well there goes my big mouth again. I'm never going to learn to keep it shut. But Paul! I could kill him right now! Totally defenseless! I want to kill him! How dare he talk about me like that and exclude me from these things...I was trying hard! Trying hard to fit in the group again but he just picks up every little wrong detail about me and throws it out there. Its uncalled for.

"Leah..." Jared said again a bit more louder this time. I took a step back never breaking my growl.

"Look Leah," Paul started to say. Oh no! Don't even start with me you two faced bastard! I fucking hate you! You have no right to talk about me like that! Your worse than I am you fucking bitch! Don't even get me started!

Too bad my words were only coming out as barks. This reminded me of cussing Jared out in the forest.

"Leah...just calm down. Before you hurt yourself." Jared tried. That blew me waaay over the edge.

I bent down to get a good leap and took off towards them. Their faces were priceless. Right before I was about to snap Paul's neck, some unbelievingly hard force shoved me out of the way. I few to my left and something else stopped me from flying any farther. I heard a couple of cracks and a huge snap. No doubt it was a tree...and my ribs.

I gasped out in pain but in the wolf form it sounded more like a wheeze. FUCK! My mind screamed. It hurt to move, it hurt to breath, and it even hurts to think! Who would dare cross my path?

The heavy thing that was holding me down finally lifted up.

Leah?! Leah?! Are you okay?

Do I look okay? I wanted to ask. God it hurts so much! I opened my eyes slowly to see my attacker. Just take one guess.

Jacob Bitchin Black.

You sound okay to me.

Why?! I tried to breath again but it still hurt too much so I closed my eyes again and tried to concentrate on calming down.

Leah your ribs...I can feel it. Your head too. Jake acted like he was surprised he almost killed me.

I didn't mean to! I swear...you were about kill Paul and I had to stop y-

Jacob stopped chatting while I let all of my memories repeat itself of what just happened.

Paul... He growled and then turned to glare at him. You son of a bitch!

He turned back to me all worried and anxious. Leah I'm sorry. He did deserve something. I wouldn't have--If you--

Dammit Leah you need help! You need to phase back!

No...remember when you got crunch by that one bloodsucker? And you didn't- I broke off trying to catch some oxygen- want to phase back because you knew it would hurt even more? Well thats how I'm feel-

I gasped out in pain again.

Leah!! He phased back to a human and by the time I'd open my eyes again, he'd already had his shorts on and giving directions to Jared.

I remembered Paul didn't want me here. More than half of them didn't. I need to go. I need a break for crying out loud!

I pushed hard to get myself up. I nearly collapsed when I finally stood up straight but I had to run now. This is too much for me. I took a deep breath and dashed off away from everyone ignoring the pain that was dabbing at my side and in my head. I ignored the hard rain blowing, stinging my face, and I ignored my dry throat.

The last thing I ignored was three courses of speech yelling the same thing. "LEAH!!"

I was really starting to hate that name.

Plz review! I don't know how many people read Leah stories! It'll get better later but I have to put the basics in first.

Mikeysgurl916--soon to change.
