The Stories of Leah Clearwater - (Book One)

Chapter 12 - The Confession

The next day I woke up and walked out to the kitchen, “Good morning sweetie. How’d you sleep?” my mom asked.

I just shrugged. Seth came out and poured a glass of orange juice.

“So any word on Charlie’s daughter, Bella?” he asked sitting down at the table.

I raised an eyebrow, “Wait, what happened to Charlie’s daughter?”

My mom turned so she could look at both of us, “Well Charlie called me last night rather worried. Bella left him a note and took off. Jacob thought she maybe in trouble.”

I was a little taken back. “Tell him I’m sorry and, I hope she comes home soon.” I hugged my mom and walked out to the living room and, slipped out the front door.

I walked down to the beach. I just needed to be alone. I sat quietly in the sand looking off at the ocean. I still had no idea what caused me to turn into a wolf. Sam appeared out of no where.

“Why are you here? Wait, how did you know I was here?”

Sam took a deep breath and sat down beside me. He kept his knee’s bent leaning forward resting his arms on them. I sat there with my legs crossed laying back on my elbows, keeping myself propped up. He spoke slowly staring off at the water, “I need to talk to you. I saw you from the cliffs, that’s how I knew you were here.”

I rolled my eyes, “What did my mom or Billy send you to spy on me?” I spoke with a rather sharp tone to my voice.

He shook his head, “I was on...” he stopped and sat motionless. “Listen I know you phased. Yesterday before the funeral, well the pack could hear your thoughts, and so could I. It’s not safe for you to be alone in the woods.”

I couldn’t believe him, he was telling me what was safe for me to do and not do. “Le-Le calm down.” he sensed my body tighten up.

That pissed me off, “Who the hell do you think you are Sam. You don’t nor will you tell we what’s safe for me to do. I’m a grown woman. Don’t call me Le-Le! You lost that chance once you ran to Emily.” I got to my feet and started to walk away.

Sam quickly followed and grabbed my arm. “Your not going into those woods.” and he pointed.

I snarled at him, “Don’t touch me. Sound familiar.” I looked into his eyes and saw the pain, then yanked my arm away and took back to walking.

“You phased because of vampires.” Sam called out.

I stopped and didn’t look back at him, I waited to see what else he had to say. When he didn’t say anything I turned around, “Vampires. You’ve got to be kidding me.”

He shook his head, “No Leah, I’m serious. The Cullen’s are vampires or as we call them “Cold Ones.” He looked at me with pleading eyes, “You’ve got to trust me. Charlie’s daughter Bella, she’s friends with the family. Well Jacob has informed us she took off with one of them, her name is Alice, Alice Cullen.”

I looked at him, “Is there anything else you would like to share with me?” I asked with a sarcastic tone.

“There is a vampire. A red headed woman after Bella. Jacob informed us her name is Victoria. She’s after Bella because the Cullen’s, or I should say one of them killed her mate.”

I remembered the day in the woods when the fire flew past me. That must have been what knocked me to the ground.

Sam looked at me, “What’s wrong Leah?”

I must have let my face give it away. “Between us, well a few days ago before all of this happened, I was in the woods near my house.” I paused for a second, “There was something that looked like fire that knocked me to the ground. It was there and gone within a second. I’m not crazy.” I just looked at him.
