Twisted Love

Ch. 3 The Loners

Leah

I stared blankly across the table and sipped my coffee thoughtfully. Our pack was having a meeting on the increasingly alarming vampire situation, but my mind was elsewhere. What had I gotten myself into with Riley? Maybe what had started out as a dare could blossom into something truly beautiful? Besides, he kept my mind off Sam, and at the rate I was going I would never imprint.

"Leah. Leah. Leah!"

"Oh! Huh, what? Ya, I totally agree," I said snapping out of my train of thought.

Jacob stared resentfully at me and continued on, "As I was saying, this coven seems to be increasing its activity in this area. From what we can tell, they have a minimum of three vampires, and some of the newborns. I think we should take action, but Embry here thinks otherwise." He rolled his eyes in Embry's general direction, but gave him the floor to explain his point of view.

"Well, I think it's too dangerous. You say minimum of three, I say a minimum of five; and five well-trained vampires would be dangerous. I think, as much as it pains me to say this, we should ask Sam's pack for help," Embry explained actually somewhat eloquently. Seth's eyes lit up. Though he had followed Jacob of his own will, he missed his old friends and brothers.

"I'm with Embry on this one. Sorry boss, but your word goes of course," Quil piped in. He was always concerned for Claire's safety, and it made his extra cautious.

"Me too," Seth said looking hopefully up at Jacob. Lately, he hadn't had to look up quite so high. His exponential growth had nearly doubled his size just in the past week. For some reason, it never happened to me. We think its because I'm the sole she-wolf.

I just scowled retreating into myself. The thought of working closely to Sam killed me. I had to get over him, but I still felt the sharp sting of his betrayal.

"Fine," Jacob breathed exasperated. "I guess the extra precaution couldn't hurt. I'll make an arrangement with Sam's pack. I want Seth and Quil to go patrol with me tonight," he said resolutely turning to continue on with the responsibilities of being an alpha dog. Jacob had really matured since that fateful battle against the Volturi. He took things more seriously and was more prepared to compromise for the greater good, and I thought it made him a better person.

As Jacob walked out of the room, I pulled out my crappy flip-phone. I dialed Riley's number, punching in the numbers as I read them off the napkin he had slipped in my pocket The same foreboding feeling from the night before loomed in my mind, telling me that he was only trouble for me; but he made me feel in ways I hadn't for a long long time, anyways I didn't have much to loose, my heart was already permanently damaged.

"Hey, Riley, um it's Leah. I was thinking we could hang out today. I mean if you still want to," I stammered into the phone.

"Oh, hey babe. Yaaa, how's about dinner? At Ryan's Steakhouse? Wear somethin' sexy," he slurred. He was still drunk? It was already eight! But Ryan's Steakhouse was one of the best restaurants in town.

"Uh, great. See you then," I said cheerfully. I snapped my phone shut with a snap and smiled to myself.

"What do you think your doing?1" Embry hissed. I jumped, surprised. He was staring judgmentally from across the table. Apparently, he hadn't left with everyone else.

"What I'm not aloud to date?" I screamed back, "I mean what do you CARE!"

"I CARE because Riley's the town's snobby fall down drunk! You should not be dating someone like him," he retorted.

"How is who I date any of your business," I said storming away before he had a chance to respond. I had to buy something sexy.

It had taken all of my self-control to not outright kill that monster, Jacob, during the war with the Volturi. But, of course, that would not be the suitable punishment for a creature as vile as he. He had soullessly murdered the only true friend I had ever had, Laurent. We were partners. Without him I had writhed in the mental agony of loneliness for what seemed like centuries. That was the beginning of my loner days; or, that's what I like to call them. During those miserable years, my only friends were vegetarians and the women I chose to pleasure myself with before devouring them.

That is, until that one fateful day Carlisle found me and dragged me over to his territory to be a witness for his foolish endeavors. The entire experience had been terrible except for two things. One, the vampire/human child intrigued me, and two, that is where I had my second encounter with my best friend's murderer. He was also defending the Cullen's and that amazing baby. I wished with all of my heart to kill him right there and then, but it was not an opportune moment. Plus I would rather cause him more than physical pain.

After the battle, I had gone to Greece. I was tired of Italian food, after fifty years it gets old. There I met Serena. She was the most stunning mortal I had met in my entire existence. She is and always will be my soul mate. At first she was going to be another of my throw away women, but her passion and wits inspired me. After I had changed her, I told her all of my miseries, and she cured them with her kindness. Though she was kind to her companions, enemies weren't so lucky. When someone got on her bad side, she ruthlessly annihilated them. She was the mother of our coven.

Serena promised me she would help me get my revenge, if I would promise her an eternity with me. Which, I was only too willing to give, and our search for the ideal coven for our plans began.

Serena and I specially picked every single mortal that we transformed. I was drawn to them by my tracking abilities; and we watched them for weeks at a time, determining if they would have any talent useful to us in our plots. During this time, we bonded even more. She was even more amazing than I could have imagined. Serena gave me a reason for existence, and our common goal of revenge forged bonds stronger than steal.

First we found Violet. She seemed special from the start. Men would follow her everywhere. She was so innocent, always trying to avoid them, without success. We decided that she'd be a very gifted vampire, and we changed her.

When she woke after four days of agony, we discovered that her gift was the ability to make people fall deeply in love with her. They loved her so much that they would be willing to give their lives for her. Violet hadn't chosen a mate yet, she always droned on about true love and the injustice of making men fall for her, but we would brake her of these thoughts soon enough. She would become a trained killer, perfect for my revenge.

After we found Violet we chose Alexander. He was definitely an interesting human. Strangely, he was never ever late to any event in his entire life. I know that this dose not sound like a very interesting attribute for a human, but for a vampire it can indicate all kinds of potential. After his three day of writhing pain, he surprised us by freezing time. Only when he touched my frozen arm in wonder, did we find a way to harness his power and train him for our purposes. His training was lengthy and difficult, but the results were well worth it. We now had complete control over where and when we are.

We found Lela a whole year after finding Alexander. Alexander instantly fell in love with her human form, and had began courting her despite my many warnings. I knew we'd have to take her in if we wanted to keep Alexander in the coven. We therefore decided to examine her human activities. She didn't seem to have any particular abilities so we changed her for Alexander's sake. She ended up be one of the most talented of us all...

Flash back:

Lela woke with a start. Alexander started towards her, but I stopped him. We had no idea what she might do. "Lela, honey, are you alright?" he asked with concern. She slowly turned her head to look at him, her eyes bright red with blood lust. Then she whipped her head around to look at me. Her eyes closed slowly and then opened suddenly. She stared right though me, into my very soul. I found myself hypnotized, completely under her control. Lost in her eyes.

Lela commanded me to explain everything. Once I was done reciting my story, she released me from my trance. She seemed somewhat confused. Alexander went and sat by her side. He was in love with her, and she of all people could see that. She leaned into him and sobbed tearlessly.

That night, Serena and I decided that we had enough talented vampires in our coven to take on hundreds of wolves, and we began to formulate the minor details of our complex plan; everything down to the name of our newly formed coven. The Loners.
