Emily. Sam. Bastard. Liar. Cheater. Not good enough for Sam. Not good enough for anybody. Monster. Freak. She-wolf freak. Unlovable. Destined to be alone. Death..I want death hell I pray for it. To late I am dead. Dead inside. Never enough.
My hands flew to my temple as my mind was suddenly plagued with images and words each as unclear and jumbled as the first. I saw flashes of faces and names along with a few emotions with the most dominant being self loathing. I wanted to fall to my knees from the intesity of it all but I fought back the urge as my curiousity won the battle of wills. Who was feeling such self hate? Why were they feeling this way? Usually I would mind my own buisness the best I could since I was a mind reading vampire and yet this time something was different. I felt drawn to whoevers mind I was tapped into and I couldn't turn back now.
This ought to be a hunting trip of mine to remember. Why had I chosen to hunt alone? Oh yes because I needed time to myself. I loved my family dearly but since Bella left to be with Jacob Black and then trying to get me back after Jacob imprinted, my family felt the need to try and push me to find another woman to mate with. I could understand the worry they held in their thoughts but truly I was fine. I'd been alone for 80 plus years and a few more wouldn't hurt. If I was ment to mate I would eventually.
As I stepped into the clearing where the thoughts were coming from I saw the form of a woman. A woman I knew very well as fate would have it. I called softly as I tried not to startle her. "Leah?"
Her thick black hair which had grown out alot in the last year covered her face like a curtian. I didn't need to see her face to smell the salty tears falling freely and splashing onto the ground beneath her. As I stepped closer I could see her body shake with the force of her silent sobs. She seemed so fragile that I just wanted to scoop her up into my arms but refrained from doing so. Leah would most definately be displeased if I tried to hold her and comfort her with whatever was bothering her. Leah is not the kind of girl who wants to be comforted. Knowing her as I did, she would most likely take it as an insult. She'd think I was calling her weak.
Leah's breathing hitched in her throat and a wave of anxiety rolled off of her memories as a picture of Sam's face appeared. Was this why she was upset? I realized Sam and Emily were getting married today but I'd really thought she would handle it better. Leah really is a strong person even if she doesn't see it that way. I know she loved Sam but he wasn't right for her and deep down I think she knew that. She had to seee the truth about Sam Uley. He was not man enough for her and she could-
My thoughts stopped as Leah looked up at me with a dead look in her eyes. "Kill me leech please." I'd never heard Leah beg before but that is exactly what she was doing as she crawled over to me on her hands and knees. "I've never asked anything of your family before but you owe me this. Please please kill me. I can't do it anymore leech I can't."
Crouching down infront of the broken girl infront of me I looked deep into her eyes only to find nothing. There was no trace of the wolf girl I knew. "What can you not do Leah? Whatever is wrong I promise I can help you. What can't you do? Your Leah Clearwater and you can do anything."
Shaking her head Leah started to cry again and I felt a loss at what I should do. When she spoke though I realized I had been partly right and she was upset about Sam but it went deeper than that. "Everything he said was a lie! I beleived him but I..I can't raise his baby."
