Chapter 11

Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki and thanks to all the people who reviewed.

Leah P.O.V
The next morning I used the payphones outside to call home. I absolutely dreaded doing this; I wanted to be a chicken shit and just forget about it and put it off. But I had to do this. I owed more to mom than that; I can only imagine how worried she is right now.
I am still kind of ticked at her, how could she vote for Matthew to be killed and not even tell me? I mean sure I didn't expect her to tell me everything about her elder business but I think she should have told me about this.
The payphones were right outside the motel right next to the road. I made my way to them, checking the area, inspecting every car, every shadow, everything that moved in the corner of my eye. Like I was waiting for the wolves to pop out of thin air or something.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the quarters and put them into the slot. I dialed the numbers and waited, two rings later and mom answered. “Hello?”
She sounded hopeful and worried. Like she was hoping it was me. She also sounded tired; I had to wonder how long she had been up waiting by the phone, waiting for me to call. “Hey mom,” I said.
“Leah? Oh thank God Leah, are you safe? Are you okay?” she asked.
“Yes, I am okay and safe mom.”
“Leah you need to come back home now. You need to help sort out this mess.”
“How is Sam? Is he...okay?” I asked.
“Yes, he is still recovering...why did you do that to him Leah? Sam of all people?”
“It was an accident, I didn't mean to do that to him, he phased back to human when we were fighting,” I said.
“I know, Jake told us all about what happened. Why would you fight Sam over that monster?”
I knew who she meant by monster. “It was an accident mom; he didn't mean to hurt Emily.”
“I know what happened Leah, he most certainly meant to hurt her, he meant to kill her.”
“He's better now; he barely even remembers what happens.”
“Leah he is dangerous, what more do you need to see before you realize that? First he bit you, than he attacks Emily and now he causes you to almost kill Sam. He needs to be put down.”
“He's not a dog mom!” I growled.
“He is too wild and dangerous Leah. What if he bites you again? Who will be there to save you this time?”
“I will be more careful.”
“Leah just give him to the Cullen's and come home. The elders understand it was not your fault, they will go easy on you.”
“Mom...I am not coming back.”
“Why not?”
“Mom, if I give him to the Cullen's they will have to leave, you and I both know Sam won't allow him anywhere near Forks, he attacked Emily and you know how wolves are about their imprints. So the Cullens will have to leave and if they leave than Nessie will leave and Jake will follow her. La Push needs him.”
“Let them hand him over to that other coven then this does not concern you Leah.”
“Mom, this works for me as well. I have been wanting to leave the rez for a while now...now I finally found a reason to leave.”
“Leah Clearwater that is enough! You need to come back home to me, to Seth, to your family!”
“Mom please. I need this as well. I need to do something with my life. Something that doesn't include turning into a giant mutant wolf or hunting monsters. I need some isolation and I need to get away from that.”
“You won't be getting away from that, you have that hybrid with you.”
“I know that. And it will be tough I know, but maybe if...if I can just focus on one thing, protecting him, then maybe I can do everything else as well. Find a house, get a job all that.”
“Leah you can't get a house, he'll eat your neighbors.”
“I know and I have plans, ideas.”
“Please tell me these plans and idea's,” she said sounding doubtful.
“I'm not giving him up mom, I almost killed Sam over him I can't just hand him over....I can't explain it but if I am willing to almost kill the man I.....loved than I should keep protecting him myself.”
“Leah, baby I know you feel bad about Sam but he is alright, we all know it was an accident. He is so worried about you; Sam has be calling for you. He has had all his wolves trying to track you down all night. You owe Matthew nothing.”
“He needs me mom, he depends on me.”
“He has the Cullens.”
“It is different with us mom...there is a connection, I can't explain it but it is there.”
“Leah, has it ever crossed your mind he is using his power on you?”
“If he was the Cullen's would have told me mom.”
“Leah please, if you want to move out we will find you a new house, we'll get you to college I promise, but please just come back home.”
My throat tightened at the sound of her pleading, I could hear the worry in her voice. I could see in my mind the tears forming in her eyes. I wanted to tell her yes, I wanted to feel her arms wrap around me and make me feel better. Like when I was a little girl and I got hurt or sad about something and she would hug me and make it all better.
But not even her hugs could make this all better.
“I will call you later mom, I love you. Tell Sam I said sorry.”
“Leah wa-”
I hanged up. I leaned my head against the cold phone and fought the urge to cry. I added a few more quarters and dialed the Cullen's. “Hello?” Carlisle answered.
“Carlisle it's me,” I said.
“Leah, how are you?”
“Shitty but I will live. We're okay. We spent the night at a motel.”
“How is he?”
“Quiet, nervous, how are things on your end?”
“Well the wolves have not shown up yet. I did inspect Sam, he will survive, you did a number on him though, but in a few more days he will be up and running.”
“Why is it taking so long for him to heal?”
“You did a lot of damage, his healing factor has a lot to heal. Plus I had to reset some broken bones.”
I let out a small sob. I remember what that had been like when Jacob had his bones reset after that newborn got a hold of him. I remember the pain from his memories; I remember the sound of his screams as Carlisle reset the bones. The thought of Sam going through all of that made my heart break.
“He will live Leah.”
“I know...how is Nahuel?”
“Sad, worried. Did you want to talk to him?”
“No. Tell him I am taking care of Matthew. So far no problems.”
“Leah, we would be happy to help you.”
“No. He is my responsibility now, I won't have you guys risk Sam's wrath. He won't stop Carlisle, even after what I did, hell he might be more hell bent on finding and killing him now that I am with him. Mom thinks Matthew is using his mojo on me.”
“I can guarantee he is not. Whatever connection you and him have it is all natural.”
“I know. I will call and keep you guys up to date on our situation and if things get to much for me to handle I will call.”
“Leah, we can take him, it might be good for us to leave now anyway.”
Once again I was being offered to have Matthew be taken out of my hands, I could say yes, I could just hand him over and be done with it. But once again I was going to say no.
“If you leave Nessie goes with and Jake will go with you. La Push needs him Carlisle and I don't want him to have to choose. It will be too hard on him and I know who he will choose. We'll be fine.”
He sighed, I could hear the regret in his voice. “Very well, but please, if anything goes wrong do not hesitate to call us.”
“I won't.”
I hanged up. I walked back to the motel. As I walked I saw a small family, a mom, a dad, two kids, a boy and a girl. I smiled softly at them. How easy they must have it. How happy they must be. I wonder what they would do or feel if they knew a werewolf and a hybrid vampire had slept in the same motel they had.
I walked back in the room and found Matthew awake, he was watching T.V. “Leah,” he said.
He looked nervous and guilty, like he was afraid I was going to start yelling at him again or something. “Hey.”
I turned the T.V off and sat down next to him. He sat next to me looking at his feet. I didn't need some super freaky power to tell he was nervous. “Come closer,” I said patting the extra space between us.
He scooted closer and I put my arm around his shoulders. He relaxed a little. “Matthew. Do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“We came to play, me was very exciteds to play, than me smell something wonderful, it was a human, blood smell very good...things begetting fuzzys after thats. Next thing me is remembers is seeing you fighting that Sam person, me not want you to be hurt so me make him turn human. Why was he attacking you?”
“Matthew...when you smelled that girl’s blood.”
“His imprints.”
“Yes, her name is Emily, she is my cousin.”
“Really?”
“Really. See vampires drink blood, but there are some people out there whose blood smells and tastes really good to a certain vampire. When that vampire catches their scent they will do anything and everything to get it. That is what happened to you yesterday. Emily was you're singer, her blood called to you and you lost all control and tried to kill her.”
“Oh no, me sorry Leah, me not remember me-”
“It's okay, she is alive. But when you attacked her you made Sam angry because she is his imprint and you know how strong an imprint is.”
“Me know. Me so sorry. Me not want to hurt her now....though memory of blood make mouth water.”
His eyes lost some of their focus and I could see the animal start to appear.
I snapped my fingers in front of his face. “Focus!”
He jumped. “Sorry's. So why Sam attacking you when me wake up?”
“Because he wanted to kill you for attacking Emily, but I wouldn't let him.”
“But...she you're cousin. Aren't you mad at me's?”
“Well I am not thrilled but I know you didn't mean to Matthew. See we all thought since you were only half-vampire that you would not have a singer because the lust for blood isn't as strong in you as it is in a regular vampire. But Sam didn't care and wouldn't listen and I fought for you.”
“Me sorry Leah, me not know what else to do, me get mad when me is seeing him hurting you. Me want him to hurt as well.”
“I know, but he is important to me Matthew. He is someone I cared about. Now we have to stay hidden for a while, because if the wolves find you they will kill you.”
“What about the Cullen's and the Alaskan's?” he asked.
“Well if the wolves found out the Cullen's have you than the wolves will want them to leave and if that happens it will make Nessie and Jake sad.”
I wasn't going to go into great detail about the situation, no point, I knew his mind wouldn't be able to fully grasp everything. Wasn't that he was dumb; he was just a kid is all. You know how it goes, one question leads to another than another, than another and so on and so forth.
“Will I ever see them again?” he asked.
I hugged him tight. “One day, when you are older and you have learned how to control your cravings.”
He pulled back and looked at me with that look he gets when he is seeing something I can't. “You have doubt Leah. Me is seeing it, but me is not knowing what you is doubting, are you doubting we ever see friends again or you doubting me ever having control?”
Shit. Fucking empathy vision thing. Truth was it was the latter I doubted, I just did not think he could gain any form of control even if he was fully grown. Once again his mentality played a major factor here. Fuck why can't there be a vampire that has some convenient power that could cure him of his condition, things could go so much smoother than.
“I am just nervous about what we are going to do next is all,” I lied.
“You are lying Leah.” he got an angry look on his face and pulled away from me and crossed his arms. “I am not being a baby Leah, I do not like being babied.....except by Es-Es or Car-Car. Oh Ro-Ro too......Al-Al and Bel-Bel too I guess.....oh it's fun when the others baby me too, lots of fun it is being then....okay me like being babied but me is not liking being lied too.”
I sighed. “You're right I am sorry. Truth is I am not sure when we will see any of them again. Things are really tense back in Forks right now and I think it best if we keep our heads down.”
“I am not understanding.”
“It means we need to keep a low profile, we need to stay hidden, we need to not draw attention to ourselves.”
“Me is doing that,” he said with a smile.
He got up and stood in front of me. “Watching this Leah.”
I was wondering what he was about to do when suddenly....he wasn't there.....I mean he was there but I could not focus on him. I mean I knew he was right in front of me....but I didn't want to know he was there, I didn't need to know. It was like he was something the corner of my eye. I knew it was there but I could only see it on the edges of my vision.
“Hello.” he waved at me, in a second he was right in front of me.
“Whoa!”
He laughed when I jumped. He just popped back in place. I mean he wasn't invisible. But I couldn't focus on him, I felt stupid, it was like there being an elephant in the room and you just ignored it than suddenly a few hours later you're like “Holy shit an elephant.” kind of like that.
“How did you do that?” I asked.
“Me is radiating ignorance, lack of perception, repulsion, confusion, you know, stuff to make you not seeing me. Me do it before to make people not see me and leave me alone. It really handy when hunting.”
I wasn't going to ask if he meant hunting animals or humans because I think I already knew the answer to that question. “That is a neat trick Matthew, can you do it to more people?” I asked.
He nodded. “Oh yes. Me radiate something and everyone feel it.”
“What do you mean radiate?” I asked.
He got that look on his face someone gets when they are about to explain something very complex and detailed. “It is like the emotions are inside me, millions and millions of strings, each one a very specific color, each one unique. They being like great big maze that interconnects, crises, cross's, and interconnects, or a great big ball of string that is made of of millions of colors of emotions. Me pick on string and focus and it like that string comes shooting from body. Sometimes me use more than one string, sometimes me connect more than one string to make whole other emotion.”
He began to dance in small circles, like he was hearing a tune only he could hear. “Me wish you could see what me see's Leah, to see every emotion, to feel every feeling. To see the millions and millions of colors, red's browns, blacks, whites, greens, oranges, silver's gold's, purples, indigos, blues, greens, pinks, yellows, crimsons, scarlet's, topezs, lavanders, pales, greys, lights darks, alizarin, almond, amaranth, purples's, magenta's, amber's, amethyst, fuchsia, ao, apricot, aqua, ash, aresenic, bronze, burgundy, drab, denim, emerald, fawn, flax, folly, grullo, harlequin, iros, mint, melon, ochre, onyx, prune, pearl, and colors I am having no name for and emotions me not knowing how to describe, me is sensing and seeing it all.”
He stopped dancing. “But I do more than see and heal, I manipulate, I focus, I radiate.” he held up his hands and wiggles his fingers. “Like strings between my fingers. Some soft as silk, some so sharp it feels like they will cut me to shreds.”
He took his fingers and interlocked them with mine. “Leah, what do you think my colors are like? Do you think they are like yours? Do you think they shine bright or do you think they are muddy and dull?”
“Can't you see?” I asked.
He shook his head. “Me try. Nothing there. No light, no colors, no strings. Is it because Matthew is wrong? Is it because he is bad?”
I smiled at him. “You are not wrong Matthew. You are just different is all, and bad is a choice; you don't want to be bad do you?”
He shook his head.
“Than don't be. Remember you always have a choice, you can chose who or what you want to be.”
He smiled and he wiggled his fingers slightly against mine. “Warmth, compassion, belief in one's words. Underlying tones of worry and doubt. You truly believe what you say.”
“Yes I do.”
“I am scared Leah.”
“So am I.”
“I know, I just thought you should know that you are not alone.”
It occurred to me he was using I's and proper grammar. I hugged him close. “Everything will be okay, I will take care of you, I promise.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Oh he is such a little angel.”
I turned from the A.T.M to find a little old lady smiling warmly at Matthew. It was a few hours later and I decided to pull some money from the A.T.M.
Matthew smiled at her and she cooed over him. She patted him on the head and looked at me. “Is he yours?”
I smiled. “Yes, he's mine.”
Matthew beamed at me, the delight and happiness truly made him seem angelic, I could name a dozen artists I know that would love to draw a picture of him right now.
“He is so beautiful, his father must be quit the looker.”
My smile faded a little, I decided not to answer. But she saw it and she got this look on her face, like she was ashamed of herself. “Oh, I am sorry dear, forgive my rudeness. I didn't mean-”
“No it's okay. His father is-” dead and in hell where he belongs “-on vacation.”
That is one hell of a euphemism for being dead. I saw her eyes widen in understanding and she looked at Matthew with pity. Matthew cocked his head to the side. “Compassion, sympathy, pity, understanding, a feeling of shared pain. You think you have something in common with Leah? What is you and hers having in commons? You and her is not being anything like one another.....you not taste like wolf, you human.”
I squeezed his hand and hoped he could feel my caution and nervousness. I wanted to tell him to be quiet and not talk in front of the old human lady. Her eyes widened and she looked at me in sympathy. “I know what you are going through, my Steven died before our firstborn son was born.” she gave me a hug and I was feeling awkward as hell. She pulled back. “My son has a child that is autistic, it is not easy I know but it can be done. Children with special needs are just as precious as any other child.”
“Leah she is knowing Matthew is special! Is she magic like El-El?” Matthew asked.
A laugh escaped my lips. She thought Matthew had some mental disorder.....technically she is right. But she also thinks I am a single mother raising a child all by herself. Ha! What a day. For some reason I was feeling better, to think a little strange humor and awkward meeting can make your day.
“Um, thanks. Yeah it's tough but he is worth it.”
“Take care dear, you too Matthew, make sure you are extra good for your mommy now.”
“Me be good,” Matthew said with a smile that could melt a heart.
The old lady beamed at him and went on her way. God I can not wait to tell Seth about this....oh yeah. I sighed and we walked back over to the Volvo. We got in and drove off. I had gone through Edward's CD's but found nothing but piano music and stuff. So I just had to settle for the radio. I decided to go to Alberta, Canada. It was far away enough and I was sure to find a place there.
Or rather I would have to find a place nearby. No way I could live in the city with Matthew. All those poor unsuspecting humans wouldn't stand a chance against Matthew if he got thirsty. So I had to find someplace where I could keep him and I isolated while I work. I could do what the Cullen's did and find a nice isolated home in a town near Vancouver.
But even if I did get a job than who would look after Matthew while I was gone? Maybe I should have tried harder to get Nahuel to come with us.
We reached Alberta and I found a rest stop. I found some maps and stopped by a McDonald's real quick. I was starving, I hadn't eaten since yesterday. I decided on one area near the city of Calgary. It was isolated and it was only a thirty minute drive to the city. I did consider a town called Jasper, thought that was funny.
A few more hours of driving and soon we found ourselves at another motel. I asked the guy that worked there where I should go to by a house. He told me of a place where I could go and I took notes. I learned the town I wanted was called priddis, and it was not a town, it was a hamlet. For those of you who do not know a hamlet is a place with a population so low it isn't even a village. From what I learned there was only a population of a thousand and a half. It was perfect.
In our room Matthew watched T.V. He laid on his belly, his feet kicked up in the air. I was on the phone and making some calls. It took me a while but I got hold of someone who was renting a place down there. I told them I would meet them in a few hours.
I got off the phone. Things were looking good, this time tomorrow we might have some place to stay. “Leah I ams hungry,” Matthew said.
“Okay, you want to go to Burger king?” I asked.
“Not human hungry, blood hungry,” he said.
“Oh....how long has it been since you ate?” I asked.
“Since before game yesterday.”
“Oh, are you sure?”
He nodded. “Okay, we'll go out and find you something.”
We walked outside, I made sure to grab the key to the room and put it in my wallet. We walked out into the woods careful not to be seen. I hid behind a tree and phased. I waited for the flood of minds and thoughts, but it was silent, no Jake, no Quil, no Embry, no Seth. I was alone. For the first time in a long time my mind was it's own.
I small part of me was giddy. I no longer have to hide my thoughts, I no longer have to watch what I think, I have nothing to hide from no one. But a larger part of me was missing the pack mind, the connection, the feeling of being part of something greater.
I guess I was truly on my own, I guess me leaving La Push had severed my link to the others. A part of me was uneasy about this, no connection meant I could not call for help.
We found some deer, Matthew had two. I ate nothing; just made sure he didn't run off or catch any human scents. An hour later we were back in our room. We got ready and packed our bags and headed out to Priddis. Turns out Edward has a G.P.S in his Volvo. Lucky bastard.
Priddis really was a small place; I only passed like four houses on the way in. Forks had more houses than this. I found the house, it was out in the middle of nowhere. I had to take a turn on the road and after a few minutes of driving found the house.
It was a two story house, colored in a reddish brown color. There was a garage and it looked decent enough. There was a truck parked in front and I saw a man inside. He smiled when he saw us coming. He got out to greet us; I parked the Volvo and turned to Matthew.
“Be careful what you say Matthew, he cannot even have an idea we are not human. Also I want you to pretend to be my son, that way he won't ask questions.”
“Okay Leah.” I saw the twinkle in his eyes that told me he was happy to play the part of my son. A soft streak of warmth crossed my heart.
We got out and I kept a careful eye on Matthew. He seemed relaxed as he usually was, I took his hand in mine and we greeted the man.
“Hello, welcome to Priddis,” the man said. He was older, late forties, early fifties. He had a small mustache and was balding on the top of his head. He wore a pair of glasses that made his eyes which were green with flecks of black seem bigger.
“My name is Lance, I own the building you see here.”
“Hi my name is Leah, this is Matthew....my son,” I said.
“I love you mommy,” Matthew said latching onto my leg.
“Mommy loves you too sweetie.” God I hope he didn't go overboard with the mommy thing.
“So where you from Leah?” Lance asked.
“Washington,” I said hoping he didn't as where exactly.
“Really? I have family down there. So what brings you here?”
“Looking for a place, somewhere close to the city but with a strong outdoors, vibe you know.”
“Well you came to the right place. It's very quiet here in Priddis, nothing much happens. You moving in would be the most exciting thing to happen 'round here for years. Well come in, let me show you around before we start talking money.”
He led us inside and it was nice. It had three bedrooms all at the top and two bathrooms. Awesome! There was a nice cozy little fireplace in the living room which connected right to the kitchen. There was a basement and an attic. There was already a T.V, and some furniture, a washer, a dryer, three beds.
“Rent this out sometimes to people who need a vacation or have business in the city and need some place cheap. How long you planning on staying?” he asked.
“Oh...for the long run most likely,” I said.
“Really? Well that's nice, get some new blood in this area, be nice to see some new faces. You got a man going to live with ya?”
“No, just me and Matthew.”
“Mommy no need a man, she is having Matthew and Matthew is loving her much.”
He frowned a little at Matthew's unique vocabulary. “So uh...how old are you Matthew?”
“Two or three.”
Shit.
Lance looked at me. “Um, he has....special needs if you know what I mean. I home school him mostly, I am the only one who can get him to focus.”
“Where is his daddy?”
What is it with old people and asking personal questions like that? It's none of his business if I have a man or not. But I just smiled.
“His daddy is D.E.A.D,” I spelled for him.
His eyes widened. “Oh, um yes. Well it's not much, sadly if you want anything fun to do, you'll have to find it in the city. Were a very small and quiet community. We have a bowling alley, but that is pretty much all.”
“Everything is fine, anything I should know?”
We talked the price and rent and all that. It was well in my range.
“I'll take it. Can we move in today?”
“Sure, I always keep these places spic and span. You have anything you need to be moved in? I know some guys who would love to help a pretty lady like yourself.”
“No thanks, we are good. Does the phone line work?”
“Not right now, I will call the company, should be up tomorrow.”
“Great.”
“Place has basic cable, has H.B.O and cinemax so uh, might want to make sure the kid isn't up watching that station at a certain time.”
“Got it.”
I gave him the money and he shook my hand. “Good lord girl, you okay? You hot.”
“Oh yeah, I just run a little warm,” I said.
“Okay, I expect you will be getting lots of visits soon. Community this small when we get new blood it's a big deal. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a small welcome party for you.”
“That would be nice.”
“Well I will come back tomorrow and check on ya'll tomorrow, have a nice day.”
We waved him good bye as he drove off. We took our bags inside. I was going to the city tomorrow and give Edward's card a good workout; I need to get food, new clothes for us and a few other things to add a nice touch to the place.
Quite a few people showed up, some women some men, all coming to welcome us to the community. The women cooed over Matthew. Some of the men looked me up and down, I could tell from the look in their eyes they liked what they saw, I admit I was flattered and some of them were good looking and nice enough, but I had no room for another man in my life. Or boy.
Soon night fell and I and Matthew ate the foods that our neighbors brought us. Cakes, pies, and all kinds of desserts were given to us. We dined well that night. Soon it was time for bed. I choose my room, it was the largest and it had a bathroom. We took showers and headed off to bed. I didn't say anything about Matthew sleeping in my bed again. There was no reason to.
I held him in my arms as I tried to sleep. Tomorrow we had a lot to do, I also had to call home tomorrow as well and check up on things, let people know I was fine.
The last thing I remember was falling asleep with Matthew in my arms; I heard the sound of the old songs humming. But it was not me that was humming, the voice was sweet and graceful and melodic, it fell on my ears like wind chimes, soon I was asleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew P.O.V
Matthew make Leah go to sleep.
Me is knowing it bad to do but me have things to do and me not wanting Leah to wake up. Me get up releasing her arms from me, me not scared she wake. Me make sure she full of tired.
Me smile at her sleeping form. Me touch her cheek, she warm like me is. Me feel bad about what happen in Forks, but Matthew is having a confession, me is liking this now. Me likes having Leah all to myself. Me miss Cullen's, yes I am missing them much, but Matthew is feeling happy knowing Leah be with him all time now.
Me know she is missing her friends and home so me not feel overly happy about her being with me. But me not helping it, Matthew not have to share her no more, we can play and live and do everything together, she never leave me again, me like that lots. Me glad me not have to leave with Cullen's and go away, me feel so sad if that happen, than me is not seeing Leah again.
But there is trouble, me is seeing those men who came and visit. Me saw them look at Leah, me saw dark pink in them, dark pink is lust, they be lusting after Leah. Lust not like love, me know they want Leah to, they want her all to themselves, but they not having her!
Leah is mine now, mine to protect, like how she protect me. Me protect her from everyone and everything. Nasty dirty men not be having my Leah.
Low growl comes from mouth, Leah does not move, she sleeping. Me know me should be sleeping, but me just want watch her sleep. She protect me in day, me protect her at night. Me know how to do that.
Me close eyes and concentrated. Me focus power out all around us. Me sense Leah of course, me sense animals in woods, me sense humans distantly. Me find distance me is needing, one mile in all directions, that should be good enough.
Me focus on the strings, they shoot from body, invisible to all but Matthew. Me spread them far and wide in one mile in every direction. Me have to be careful, not make it to obvious. First layer me weave forgetfulness, people hit this layer they forget what they doing and why they coming here. If they get through that they find second layer, a light layer of repulsion. This repulsion feeling is made from desire to avoid, and lack of focus. Third layer is made from indifference, this place not matter, it not important.
Satisfied, me blend strings together. My tie the strings tight. Now no one is wanting to come here, if person try they finding themselves both forgetting why they here and deciding we not important to visit, very subtitle, very clever.
Smiling pleased with work for even animals and bugs avoid us now. If wolves show up and make trouble they not find us so easily and if they hit field Matthew make web more powerful.
El-El taught Matthew this while he and family visited us. Me make web go for many more miles if me want but me not want to make people notice whole land findable.
Me go back in Leah's arms and rest, me not sleep, me just listen to her, feel her strong arms around me, holding me, protecting me even in sleep.
Me love Leah much now. She all me is having, me miss big brother Nahuel, me wish he had come, but me know what he mean by not settling down good. Matthew find it hard to live with Cullen's, they extra nice and me love them all. But me is being very wild, they to tame.
Big brother Nahuel is more wild though, me know that. Me want him happy and we see each other again though. Me know me see all Cullen's and Alaskan's again one day.
