Chapter 17

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing and thanks to everyone who reviewed.
We now skip two years later in the story to see how our fav three characters in the story are doing for themselves.

Two years later
Leah P.O.V
“Fred, Matthew! Time to eat!” I called.
I closed the back door and put dinner on the table. Only I and Matthew would be eating, but Fred liked to join us and talk.
They were out right now, hunting before dinner. It was easier for Matthew to have human food after he drank blood first. He still preferred human blood.
Fred had been clean for two years now as well. He still avoided humans; he was having trouble still adjusting to his new diet. Years of drinking human blood was going to make it difficult for him.
The door opened when I finished getting the table ready. Fred and Matthew came walking in, laughing about something.
“Leah, Fred and me found a bear!” Matthew said.
He wore a pair of shorts and nothing else. He had grown up so much these last two years. He now looked like he was ten or eleven where once he looked six or seven. Three more years and he will be fully mature.
He had sprouted up since we first got here. He now stood at five foot three; he was more gangly and lanky now that he was starting to grow into his body. I would like to keep his hair cut short but he liked having long hair, it went past his shoulders like black silk. A year from now, maybe less he would begin to fill out and start growing muscles to fill in that skinniness.
He was still beautiful to look at though, he still had that child like angelic beauty Nessie had. It was kind of odd though, he looked like a mini-Nahuel. I wonder how much more like his brother he will look like when he finally grows up?
I am sure of one thing; he will be a knock out with the ladies when he does. Not liking the idea of that at all.
“I hope you didn't spoil your apatite,” I said.
He shook his head and sat at the table. I was reminded of Seth during his early days as a wolf. He was so young and eager to prove himself to the others. With his tan skin, black hair, wearing nothing but shorts he looked like he could be a Quileute.
“Matthew, I know you are not sitting at the table before you wash your hands,” I said.
“Sorry Leah,” he said looking sheepish. He got up and ran to the sink and washed his hands real quick.
Fred sat down at the table, his space was empty.
Matthew went to grab some food but I gently slapped his hand. “What do we do before we eat?” I asked.
He looked at me sheepishly and pulled his hand back. “We pray.”
“That's right.”
I sat down and we all put our hands together to pray. “Matthew, you do the honors,” I said.
“Okay Leah. Hi God it's Matthew again. Leah made stuff to eat for us again, I don't like it, I like blood more still but I still like chocolate. Fred is with us but he won't be eating because vampires don't eat as you are knowing. I just want to say thanks for giving us lots of yucky human food to eat today oh and thanks for making lots and lots of tasty animals to eat, they not as good as humans but they can be more fun to kill. Thanks for giving me Leah to look after me and thanks for giving us Fred-Fred to look after us. Fred-Fred is really smart and cool and he shows me all kinds of card tricks. I have been really happy these two years, Leah and Fred-Fred teach me how to count and read and write. I miss the Cullen's and big brother Nahuel and I hope I can see them again soon. But anyway thanks for everything and I hope we can be happy longer time so thanks again and tell mommy I love her and I am being a good boy and I hope she is doing okay and I miss her and I can't wait to see her again one day and if you see daddy tell him I love him too and my sisters too. Okay, you can go now, bye.”
It was the strangest grace I have ever heard, but damn if it didn't make me feel good. Matthew's grammar has gotten better these last few years, still room for improvement but at least he is saying 'I' instead of me.
Hearing his speech made me smile though. The last two years had been the most peaceful I have ever had since I became a wolf. No vampires (not counting present company) no murderous covens, no drama, no imprinting. I still missed home. I still called there every so often to talk to mom or Seth.
I called the Cullen's too so they could talk to Matthew. They were happy to hear he was happy and doing well.
There had been no more incidents with Matthew in two years either. He had not gained any new memories which I had to be thankful for.
Fred was still living with us. We had a weird domestic arrangement me and Fred. I would go to work and he would stay behind looking after Matthew, taking care of the house. I would come home and he would have dinner ready.
I admit I didn't think things would work out in the beginning. But things were going great for all of us. I enjoyed having him around. He wasn't nosy, bossy, arrogant, or asked too many questions. I had to love that about him.
He knew all about me though, the last two years I learned to trust him enough to tell him all about me. Even about the whole Sam and Emily situation. He was a real good listener. The way he sat there and took everything in, never interrupting or asking questions.
He already knew about Sam and Emily because of Seth and his big fat mouth but he still listened to me as I vented about them.
It felt good to talk to someone about my problems and not hear them say it was meant to be or I would get over it or one day I would look back on it all and laugh. Because it has been little over three years since it happened and I am not laughing at all.
Fred wouldn't lie to me, he knew some pain you just don't get over. But you keep moving forward because what else can you do? You take what you got and be thankful you are still alive and aren't dead or worse.
I listened to him talk about his life as a newborn. About Bree. His human life. What it had been like when he was all alone after he got smart and left the other newborns.
We were both patient and doctor to one another.
He was still handsome as hell. I never admitted it to anyone but I do think he is the most handsome vampire I have even seen. There were times I would watch him from the corner of my eye. I could not help it, he was the good looking. I even was so used to his smell now I could easily ignore the burning it caused me. I could smell his scent underneath that sickly sweet smell.
It was like fresh book pages, calm, soothing, relaxing to smell.
We became good friends me and Fred. I trust him to protect Matthew and me with his life and I admit, I would do the same for him. He has done so much for us these last two years; I wouldn't have gotten this far without his help.
Thanks to him I can go to work knowing Matthew won't wonder off and get in all sorts of trouble. Thanks to him Matthew has someone like himself he can relate too and learn from.
While I was at work Fred took it upon himself to teach Matthew. He had been a college student before he was turned into a vampire. He taught him everything he knew. He was really good at math. Matthew however like all kids seemed to have a powerful aversion to it.
Fred had taken on the role of mentor and protector too Matthew. He was like a father figure for him. I could see it in his eyes when he looked at Fred. Like how Seth looked at Jake when he was younger.
I got a job at a grocery store up in the city. I didn't want to get something bigger then that because I was considering moving.
I had been able to explain to the others that Matthew had a rare hormone disorder that made him grow faster then he should, but there was only so long I could use that excuse before it would be to ridiculous for everyone to believe.
“So you think we should leave?” Fred asked.
“Yeah, I can't keep using the hormone disorder excuse for Matthew. Their buying it for now but it will only be a matter of time before they stop believing it.”
“Any idea's?” he asked.
“I was going to call the Cullens and ask them. I figure they must know some places for us all to hide. I figure some place like Forks that's cloudy and barely has any sunshine so you can go out and about.”
“How about jolly old England?” Fred said doing a mock imitation of an English accent.
“How about no,” I said.
“Yeah, let’s go to England!” Matthew said excitedly.
“You just want to go there so you can find Hogwarts,” I said.
“I don't care what anyone says, I believe Hogwarts exists and I will find it,” he said his face set in a stubborn line.
I sighed. “I told you we shouldn't have read him Harry Potter.”

Fred P.O.V
We waved goodbye to Leah as she drove off to go to work.
We went back inside and I got the books I bought from the Barnes and noble in the city for Matthew's lesson's.
“Now Matthew, what is the difference between prophase and metaphase?” I asked him.
He raised his hand. “Matthew, I asked a question directed at you, you don't have to raise your hand.”
“Fred-Fred, I have a question.”
“Does it relate to the lesson?”
He shook his head. “No, but it about Leah.”
“Okay. What is it?” I asked.
“Do you like Leah?” he asked.
“Of course I do. We are really good friends,” I said.
“I am meaning do you like her like you want to get your freak on with her?”
“Matthew!” I said shocked he just said that.
“Me know you like her more than you show Fred-Fred.”
“Matthew, I think this is a little inappropriate,” I said feeling uncomfortable with where this was going.
I knew he would see what I was feeling. It was true. I was attracted to Leah Clearwater.
How could I not be, she was a very beautiful girl. From her eyes, to her lips, to her legs. Yes I admit it I have watched her when she runs around in her short cut jean pants. I may be dead but I am a male. I thank that I have no blood though, otherwise Leah would tell how much her body affected me.
It wasn't just her body that drew me to her. It was her personality. Sure she could be stubborn and had a bit of a temper. But she was brave, loving, honest, fair, she spoke her mind, was independent.
I admired her for what she did. For me it was easy to leave the newborns. With the exception of Bree I had no connections to any of the others. But for her she had a whole family she had to leave behind. I can not imagine what it must have been like for her to leave La Push.
She told me all about her mom and brother. I knew all about Sam and Emily and imprinting. Matthew told me what it looked like to him and I was amazed at how powerful a bond a single glance in the eyes of another imprinting can make.
I knew she still harbored feelings for Sam. You do not feel that much anger for someone unless you still harbor some feelings foe them.
Her scent didn't bother me anymore, I was sued to it now. Underneath the wet dog smell I could smell her scent. She was spicy and musky. Like the forest on a hot dry day. When your nose burns with the smell of the woods on a hot summer day, when you can smell the bark and the earth so clearly. I had to wonder if the woodsy smell was because she was a werewolf.
None of the other wolves smelled like this, but I didn't spend so much time around them like I do with Leah.
“But Leah like you more than she show,” Matthew said.
“What?” I asked surprised.
“She think you are really handsome, and she has tinge of soft pink like you do, soft pink means-”
“Love,” I finished.
“I think you and her have very early stages of love. You trust one another, you like one another, you enjoy each others company. So why not become mates?”
“It would be awkward Matthew,” I said.
“How? You already act like a mated pair.”
I froze. “What?”
“You take care of the house, you cook food for her and me, you keep us safe. Leah provides for you, she likes you, she talks to you, she protects you to. You both are already acting like a mated couple. Why not make it official?”
“Because we come from two very different worlds Matthew, she is a werewolf and I am a vampire.”
“But Jake and Nessie are different.”
“Jake and Nessie are imprinted to one another. Me and Leah are just really good friends, that's all.”
“But you and her and me could be a family forever. I am not going to age forever, you don't age, Leah does not have to age.”
“Matthew this is not important to our lesson, I do not want to hear another word about it,” I said. “Now let’s continue.”
“Okay Fred-Fred,” he said.
We continued with the lesson but my mind was no longer in it. I was to busy thinking of his words. It was like he burned his thoughts in my mind and no matter how much I tried I could not forget what he said.
“You already act like a mated pair.”
He was right; we were like a couple in a way. Except we lived in separate rooms and were not together as a couple, but I am now living the life of a domestic vampire. I have been for the past two years.
As Matthew had his head buried in his book......I was struck by de ja vu. A blurry human memory from my past floated into my head.
I had this image of a younger me, sitting at the kitchen table with a book and paper. My father was sitting across from me, helping me study.
I stared at Matthew, painfully aware now that the roles were now reversed. I was the father, teaching his son, and he was the child, learning from his father.
Matthew must have sensed what I was feeling because he looked up at me. “Fred-Fred, is everything okay?” he asked.
“Yes. It's fine.”

Leah P.O.V
I got back home after my shit at the store.
I walked up to the door and like usual it opened before I could open it and Matthew was there to greet me.
“Leah!” he hugged me tight, “I missed you Leah.”
I hugged him back. “I missed you too,” I said.
I walked inside and could smell dinner cooking filled the air. Matthew held my hand as we walked into the kitchen. Fred was over the stove. “Hey Fred, what’s cooking?” I asked.
I could have sworn I saw him tense a little. But it could have been my imagination.
“Steak, mashed potatoes and carrots,” he said.
“Alright, I am going to get cleaned up first.”
“Okay.”
I looked at him for a second; I thought I detected something in his voice. Like when someone is mad at you but they don't want to show it so they agree with everything you say so you don't notice, but you notice anyway.
I went upstairs and caught a quick shower. I did my usual job at the store, I stocked shelves, I worked at the register. Not as fun as hunting vampires but it doesn't have the health risks.
I dressed and went downstairs and found dinner ready.
Matthew was sitting at the table and looked a little nervous. Fred was cleaning his hands and did not look like he was going to join us. “I am going out for a bit,” he said.
“Everything okay?” I asked.
“Yes, just need some fresh air. I will be back soon.”
He walked out of the kitchen, I heard the front door open and close softly. Matthew looked miserable. I sat down at the table and looked at Matthew.
“Something I should know Matthew?” I asked him gently.
He flinched like I had struck him. “Me make mistake Leah.”
Uh oh, he said me. Matthew would revert to his old speech when he was angry or upset.
“What mistake?” I asked.
“Matthew asked Fred-Fred if he likes you. Like soft pink like.”
That surprised me. “What? Matthew, what would make you think that? We're just friends.”
“But you are both attracted to one another Leah. Me see it. The pink was dark at first, dark pink means lust, but it has slowly begun to turn soft. Soft pink means love. Matthew knows you look at him sometimes Leah, me know you are starting to feel things for one another.”
“And you told this to Fred?” I asked trying not to be mortified.
Fred was a good guy, but he was really shy and closed up. I can only imagine what Matthew's words would have done to him.
This was one of those awkward 'Oh shit' moments when a kid says something and it makes things....well....awkward.
“Me sorry Leah, me see how lonely you get sometimes, me see how you want companionship. Me see you and Fred-Fred are attracted to one another so me ask Fred-Fred why he and you not be together. He say you from two different worlds and it not work but me say it could because Jake-Jake and Ness-Ness are together and he say it is because of imprinting and I think it is stupid because you both like one another and are real good friends already so why not?”
“Matthew, you can't just go and tell people how they feel for other people, especially about such personal feelings, we have talked about this.”
“Me know, but me just want you and him to be happy Leah. Fred-Fred is not like you, he can't decide to not be immortal. He like that for all time, like Matthew will be when he grows up. Matthew wants to be with Fred-Fred and Leah forever.”
“Matthew....do you think if me and Fred get together that I will stay immortal?”
He played with his food. “Yes. Me think of what it will be like when you get old and die and me not like it Leah. Me saw what you and Fred-Fred feel for one another and me hoped you could be together and be happy and we be happy forever, then we go back to Forks and we can live there because Fred-Fred can keep mean wolves away from us and you can visit your mommy and Seth-Seth and not miss home so much.”
“Oh Matthew,” I sighed.
“Sorry for being bad Leah. Matthew just wants to be with you and Fred-Fred forever, Matthew doesn't want to be alone ever again like he was when he first woke up.” he shuddered and it was not a good shudder. “Me was so scared and alone. Vampires pick on Matthew, Matthew make them go away. Me do nothing but hide, sleep, eat and look for daddy. Me so alone, me so scared.”
I reached across the table and touched his hand with mine. “You won't be alone Matthew, you have me and Fred.”
“I have you for now Leah, but how long before you and Fred-Fred leave me like mommy, like daddy, like all the others?”
Unshed tears shined in his eyes and I ran my thumb over his knuckles. I got up and walked over so I could hug him. “I won't leave you Matthew, I will always find you, no matter what. I promise,” I said.
Matthew said nothing. He leaned into me, hugging me tight.
I still saw him as that little boy who first latched onto me two years ago, but now he was a smarter little boy. I suddenly found myself facing a problem many mothers faced when their kids grow up.
They get smarter; they begin to lose that child innocence that made them ignorant to the truth. Hybrids are smarter than humans, even in the womb. I had to wonder how long ago Matthew worked all this out in his head?
I never had any intention of living forever. In the stories immortality is very hard to obtain or comes at great personal cost. But for my kind it is an option, want to live a few centuries? Just keep phasing, want to age? Just stop and let time do her magic.
But I never wanted to live longer. My life had been so full of pain the idea of living longer seemed like a nightmare. But seeing the pain the idea of me dying of old age made me rethink that idea.
I was happy now. I loved Matthew like a son. He filled the void I knew that could never be filled. Fred may be a vampire but he has caused me no problems and I trust him. He is so patient with me, even when I am a bitch. He reminds me of Seth. Actually he has more patience then Seth. He has never yelled at me or even scowled at me. He just looks at me with calm, reasonable eyes.
I had come to think of him as a close friend, bordering on family now. Because we had a very domestic arrangement. Only I was the daddy and he was the mommy. And now that I thought about it, a few extra years of this life doesn't sound so bad. Once Matthew fully matures and we get him more stable the possibilities for our lives could very well be endless.
We finished dinner and I watched TV with Matthew for a few hours. Soon he fell asleep and I gently picked him up and tucked him in bed. I heard the door open and close downstairs and I knew I had to talk to Fred.
As I was leaving Matthew's room he began to murmur in his sleep.
“Morphia.”
He rolled onto his tummy and started to snore. I wondered what a Morphia was but figured it was something he picked up from Fred. I closed the door and headed downstairs to talk with Fred.

Matthew's dream
I dream I am in the woods with Leah and Fred-Fred.
We played hide and seek. The sun was out and Fred-Fred sparkled. Then the Cullen's appear and I am happy to see them again. We call them on the phone sometimes but me not see them for long time. Then wolves show up and they are nice and Leah is happy to see Seth-Seth and her friends and we all play hide and seek.
Then the sky goes black. Then one by one the darkness swallows thems all. One by one they all fall in darkness.
Leah is last one to go, I beg her not to go. I even hold onto her as tight as I can but she fades from me.
Matthew looks around, a horrible feeling of realization hits me. I am no longer in the forest of Priddis. I am now back in the jungle, I am back in cloths I wore night I woke up alone.
My own body has returned to it's younger form when I was so small, so scared, so....alone.
“Leah! Leah!” I called. There was no response. Just the dark and the sound of predators hidden in the night, watching me, waiting for me to feel safe and secure so they can attack me and hurt me.
“Please, somebody, I don't want to be alone...not again,” I whimpered sitting down, holding my knees to my chest.
I heard a girly giggle then. “Leah?” I said looking up.
The bushes in front of me rustled. I heard the giggle again. It couldn't be Leah, it was to...girly to be Leah and Leah did not giggle.
“Who is there?” I said standing up. Me ready for a fight. Me going to tear things head off and drink it's blood!
From the bushes walked out a little girl. She is five years old. Her skin is tan like me, she have black eyes and black curly hair.
“Hello, why so sad?” she asked.
“Leah and everyone gone again, me not want to be alone, me scared to be all alone again,” I said.
She walked over and held out her hand. “It is okay, you have me now. My name is Morphia.”
I shook her hand. “I am Matthew.”
A look of extreme pleasure crossed her face. Me see happiness and delight and a feeling of victory in her aura.
“Well Matthew I am here now, you won't be alone ever again. Come play with me, we will have so much fun.”
She waved her arm and the jungle and the darkness vanish. Soon we are in a vast carnival and the sun was out and we were the only ones about. “Come, lets play.” she held out her hand.
I looked at her closely. There was something familiar about her. Everything about her was beautiful. Like none human beautiful. And there was something familiar about her.
“Have we met before?” I asked. “You look familiar.”
“No we have never met before.” truth speckled her aura.
I took her hand and she smiled. We walked down in the caravel. I could feel the sun on my skin, I could smell the smell of candy in the air. Me know it is a dream, but it most real dream me ever have.

Fred P.O.V
I came back home and I knew Matthew was in bed. It was to quiet in the house. Matthew like all kids was rather noisy.
I walked inside and decided to do the dishes. I heard movement form upstairs and I figured Leah heard me come back. I had been doing a lot of thinking since I had been gone. Matthew's words followed me no matter how hard I tried to focus on something else.
I was not used to thinking about such private and personal things. It made me uncomfortable. I was similar to Bella in that respect. I was very private.
I saw the dishes in the sink and went to wash them. I heard Leah walk up behind me. “Hey,” she said.
“Hey,” I said.
“Fred, Matthew told me about the talk he had with you.”
I wanted so bad to throw my power up and hide from her.
“Fred, we need to talk.”
“What about?” I asked trying to be coy.
“About what Matthew said.”
“What about it?”
“Cut the bullshit Fred, I know what he said freaked you out. You wouldn't be acting like this if it didn't.”
I sighed and turned to face her. “He said things Leah. Things that have got me thinking.”
“You too huh?”
“He said our feelings have started to turn soft pink.”
“I always hated that fucking color,” she said.
I smiled. “So, um....yeah.....I uh.....” I was at a loss for words.
“I think you are very good looking Fred,” she said, seeing that I was not able to properly talk at the moment. “I mean seriously, if I was a normal girl and I saw you walking down a street I would love to just look at you. I mean if you are like this as a vampire I can't imagine what you must have been like as a vampire.”
I felt like I should be blushing, if I still had blood that is. “Thanks Leah.”
“I like you because you are so damn patient with me, even when I deserve to be yelled at and I am being cranky as hell. You look after Matthew and teach him stuff a kid should be learning from another guy, you fix the house and do what ever I ask you. You are calm and level headed and you protect us from harm. I never really show how glad I am you are around. I love Matthew but I enjoy having you around, it's nice having a grown up around the house.”
“Wow, I never knew you felt that way.”
“Well one thing we have in common is we both are private about our feelings,” she said.
“I like you to Leah. You are strong, resourceful, but even though you can be cranky as hell you work hard and you do your best to make other people happy.”
A heat began to grow between us. It was like talking about our feelings had begun to let all that soft pink flow. I like soft pink, real nice.
“Matthew told me he was hoping he could get us together so we could be together forever,” she said.
“What?” I asked.
“He finally figured out he will be immortal and you are immortal and well, I am immortal as long as I phase.”
“I thought he didn't like the idea of guys liking you?”
“I guess you are the exception, well you and...”
“And who?” I asked. Matthew had no liking for any of the local men.
She blushed a little in the face. “Me and Nahuel.”
“His brother?”
“Yeah.”
My heart dropped when I heard her heart flutter. “Were you and him together?”
“Not as a couple, but we did have sex.” she truly blushed now.
“Oh, um...awkward,” I said rubbing the back of my head.
“Yeah. He is a good guy, but I wasn't looking for romance. Matthew likes the idea of me and him hooking up. But I guess he wants his mommy and his daddy to be together.”
“You see the pattern too, huh?” I asked.
“Yeah. We have become parents. A vampire and a she-wolf have become parents to a hybrid.”
“Sounds like they summary of a show.”
“Sounds like a fan fic with poor grammar.”
We both laughed.
“So what are we going to do?” I asked.
“I don't know. I figured, I raise him until he is old enough and has some sanity back enough. We go back and he can live with the Cullen's or the Denali coven or Nahuel. But now? I don't think I can let him go Fred. The idea of letting him go.” she shook her head.
“What about us Leah?” I asked softly.
She rubbed her shoulders. “Well, I have no answer for that. I want you to stay Fred. Not because you are useful, or your talent. But because you are my friend and I know I can trust you. And because a part of me would be really sad to see you go.”
I didn't know what to say to that.
I was a little startled when she laughed. “figures, I finally find a guy I am interested in and he is a vampire, my sworn enemy.”
“I have never had a girlfriend.”
Her eyes got big and round. “Really?”
“Yes. I mean there were plenty who liked me for my looks, but I always found them to shallow for my tastes and I was more interested in studying. I figured, job, house, financial stability then girlfriend. But life had other idea's for me.”
“I had my life planned out, then this shit happened,” she said.
“You think about what it would be like if we were normal? If there was nothing supernatural in the world?”
“Oh hell yeah, I would be married to Sam and we would have our own place and might even have a kid. But you know where that went.”
“I would still be in college earning my masters. Still boring and dull, but at least I am human, at least I can see my parents.”
“We both got screwed over bad; we both got burned by life.”
“Yes. But now, we have a chance to make things right. You are out of La Push like you wanted, you have a job, you have your own house. I don't have to drink human blood, I am no longer alone.”
“Matthew is afraid to be alone you know. He is afraid you and me will disappear and he will be all alone again.”
“I won't allow that to happen,” I said firmly. “I know what it is like. I will not allow Matthew to go through that again Leah. He deserves more than that. If anyone tries to hurt us I will kill them!”
“Wow, that's the first time I have ever seen you get all worked up since we first met.”
“I am serious Leah, you and Matthew are my family, I won't lose another one.”
She smiled, for some reason it made her seem more beautiful. “Fred, I have been thinking. Maybe now is a good time to go back to Forks.”
I blinked. “Uh, did you not just here me say I will kill anyone who tries to tear us apart? Last I checked that includes some of your friends. I would hate to have that as a kink in our....relationship,” I said.
She rolled her eyes. “If they come anywhere near us I would kill them. But with your power plus Matthew's power it would be impossible for the wolves to come near us.”
“Where would we live?”
“Well I figure once the Cullen's move out they would let us use their place. I mean they won't be able to stay there much longer right?”
I nodded.
“And once they are gone we can move in because I won't have to worry about Jake and Nessie being separated because of my and Matthew's association with the Cullen's. I can visit mom and Seth and you can help protect Matthew while I am gone, just like now.”
“I don't know Leah,” I said.
“I will tell them this is their last chance, either they accept Matthew as a part of my life or I leave for good. I have gone two years away from La Push. If need be I will never go back, and I will tell them this in wolf form so they know I am serious.”
“Are you sure, we have a good thing here.”
“I can only blame Matthew's growing up on a hormone disorder for so long Fred. And we are not getting older ourselves.”
“You have a point.”
She walked closer to me. “I am tired of running Fred, the time has come to make a stand. Matthew isn't dangerous. When was the last time he had an episode or attacked someone....not counting the neighbors dog.”
“You said it yourself, he attacked a wolf's imprint. Sam-”
“Fuck Sam!” she said throwing up her arms. “Sam won't be able to come near Matthew, I mean can you imagine what would happen if he used his power to increase your power? Can you imagine what you're gift would be like times twelve? Hell you could probably hide a whole town then.”
“But what if they tell you to leave?”
She laughed. “They are still begging me to come back. And I will. But if they want me to come back, they will have to except Matthew with me. They either take all of us, or none of us. Simple as that.”
“You make it sound so easy.”
“You make it seem so hard. We have to leave Priddis sooner or later Fred. Two years we have lived here, two years for things to simmer down and I will make things very clear to them.”
I thought of the pro's and the con's of the decision. She was right, with my gift the wolves could never come anywhere near me or Matthew, especially if Matthew made my gift stronger. The Cullen's would be leaving soon, Leah never told them where we were because she didn't want to involve them.
“I think we should call Jake and Carlisle before we go back.”
She grinned. “Thanks Fred.”
“No problem. Your right, the time is come for us to move. Matthew is more stable than before, we'll be fine.”
We were so close to one another now, I could feel her body heat like a roaring fire.
“So, um. What about us?” I asked.
“Is there an “us”?” she asked.
That was a good question. Was what we feeling strong lust mixed with affection? Or was it the beginnings of something more? Was if possible for a vampire and a werewolf to be together? Or was it just wishful thinking.
“There is something, but I don't know what it is. I am not used tot his kind of thing Leah. I have never been in a romantic relationship, I don't know what I am doing or even this is something more than a good friendship.”
“I know how you feel. I haven't been in love since Sam. Nahuel was just lust. But love? Sometimes I crave it but I just can't imagine anyone else you know?”
I nodded. “Maybe we should just wait then? Wait and see what happens, I mean it's not like we are in a rush.”
“Most guys are pushy when it comes to stuff like this,” she said.
“I am not most guys,” I said.
“Thank god. If you were anything like Emmett I would have killed you years ago.”
“Hey, why you dissing the Em?” I said doing a mock imitation of Emmett.
She laughed.
“Well I am going to give Carlisle a call, see what he thinks then I will call Jake,” she said.
“Okay, I will get started on the dishes,” I said.
Leah left to go call Carlisle; I continued to wash the dishes. I tried to think it was all business as usual, but after our little talk I know things will never be the same between me and Leah.

Matthew's dream
Morphia and I had a lot of fun. We rode lots of rides and played lots of fun games.
The dream was so real, the cotton candy even tasted real and I have never had it before!
“So Matthew, tell me, where are you from” Morphia asked.
“Me not sure where me come from, people tell me I am from a place called South America. I am in North America now, I haven't been to East America or West America yet but I hope to one day.”
“You say people? Who are these people?” she asked.
“The Cullen's of course. They find Matthew when he is alone and they teach him to be a better boy. I met Leah when I lived with them. I love Leah. I wish she was here now. I miss her.”
“Do you still live with these Cullen's?” Morphia asked.
A thread of excitement and impatience mingled in her aura now. It was the kind of combination you get when you know you are about to get something you want and can't wait to have it.
“No, I live with Leah and Fred-Fred now. They take care of Matthew and teach him and hunt with him.”
“Where exactly do you live now?” she asked.
“In a Canada, a plca called Priddis, Leah says it is a hamlet which means it is at the bottom of the hick chain. I don't know what a hick is but Leah thinks it's really boring. I like it though, there's lots of animals for us to eat.”
“Animals? You eat animals?” she asked disgusted.
“Of course, we can't eat humans, that's bad.”
“But there our natural source of food.”
“Our?” I asked confused.
The dream began to dull and loose focus, and with it Morphia.
“Wait, Morphia where are you going?” I asked.
“You are waking up Matthew, but don't worry, you will be seeing me again really soon,” she said with a smile.
“What do you mean? I can't see you, this is a dream.”
“Is it?” she asked.
Then I woke up.

Matthew P.O.V
“Matthew wake up,” Leah said.
I moaned and cracked my eyes open. “Morning sleepy head,” Leah said smiling at me.
I got up and looked at her. Her aura was really bright and shiny today. What made her so happy.
“Why are you so happy today Leah?” I asked.
“I got good news. How would you like to go see the Cullen's?” she asked.
“Really? That would be great! But Leah what about the wolves?” I asked.
“What about them? With Fred we can keep them away. I am also going to tell them I won't stay if they don't accept you. They either let us all live in peace or they will never see me again.”
“You would really do that for me?” I asked.
“Of course. I told you I wasn't going to leave you Matthew and I meant it.”
“Oh Leah.” I hugged her tight, I was so happy. I could not wait! We were going back to Forks and we could see all our friends again!
“Fred will come with us to right?” I asked.
“Of course. We can't leave Fred behind,” she said.
“Is he mad at me?” I asked.
“You know he isn't Matthew. You got to remember some people aren't as comfortable with their feelings being talked about.”
“Sorry Leah, I can't help it. I see emotions every day, it's the one part of my power I can't control.”
“Well just say sorry to Fred when we go downstairs. He's making a big breakfast to celebrate our return to Forks.”
“I can't wait!”
“Me nether, now go get a shower and get dressed.”
“Okay Leah.” I got up and grabbed some cloth's from my dresser and went to get a shower.
“Hey Matthew, who is Morphia? You were muttering in your sleep,” Leah said.
“Just a girl I dreamed of. We were in this big carnival and rode rides and played games and talked.”
“What did you talk about?”
I frowned, I couldn't really remember. “I don't know. But I remember she was really excited when I answered her questions.”
“Huh. Okay, get dressed and I will meet you downstairs.”
“Okay Leah.”

Joham P.O.V
We stood over Morphia as she slept.
We have been doing this for month's now and I was beginning to lose hope. Matthew had been gone for three years now and was most likely dead.
Morphia woke up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. “Well, did you find anything?” I asked.
I was already expecting a no. So many times I had hoped and so many times I had been disappointed. Morphia's ability to traverse the dreaming was useful and I had hoped she could find Matthew in his dreams. She had been trying for month's now. But she was never able to find him.
I expected her to frown, or look away. Instead she smiled. “I found him grandpa.”
A rush of excitement filled the room. “Are you sure sweetie?” Hypnia asked her daughter.
“Yes ma ma, he is just like what Rosemary described, only he is older.”
“Rosemary,” I said.
She stepped forward and placed her hand on Morphia. Her face lit up with excitement and she looked at me. “It's him father!”
“Show me,” I ordered eagerly.
She walked over and placed her hand on my head. I closed my eyes and saw the image of Matthew in the dream. MY son, he has grown up so much. He is starting to look more and more like me, he has grown so much.
Rosemary pulled her hand back and I smiled in triumph.
“He lives, my son lives!” I yelled in delight, throwing my hands up in the air. “Where is he?” I asked Morphia.
“He said Canada, a hamlet called Priddis.”
“Excellent! I knew he would survive, my son is like me, nothing can stop him.”
“But he is not alone.”
“What?”
“He says he was found by a coven calling themselves the Cullens.”
“The Cullens? The ones in Forks?”
“Yes, but he says he lives with someone called Leah and Fred now.”
“The Cullens are that coven that survived the entire Volturi aren't they?” Hypnia asked.
“Yes, they are,” I said.
“They must know what he is capable of. According to our contacts they feed only on animal blood,” Seraphina said. “Maybe they are hoping to domesticate him. Use him to their advantage.”
“But There are no members called Leah and Fred,” I said. “Not counting that wolf who is connected to their hybrid there are nine members.”
“Maybe they have added more.”
“But why give new members Matthew to raise by themselves?” I asked.
“Perhaps they posses gifts that help them raise him?”
“It matters not. We know where he is now, and we will claim him. I do not want them filling his head with their nonsense. Seraphina, gather some of your sisters. I want you to bring him back to us and if anyone tries to stop you destroy them.”
“Yes father, I will bring our brother back,” Seraphina said.
“Father, let me go,” Rosemary said, “I failed to protect him, I allowed him to slip away, please let me help return him. Let me cleanse myself of my dishonor.”
“I have already forgiven you Rosemary,” I said.
“But I have not forgiven myself. Plus he and I were close, it might be easier to get him to come with us if I was there.”
“Good point. You may go, you too Hypnia.”
“Can I go?” Morphia asked.
“No sweetie, you stay here where you are safe,” Hypnia said.
“Take how ever many you want,” I told Seraphina. “Bring Matthew back to us, without him our plane can not succed.”
“Don't worry father, I will not fail you.”
“I know you won't.”
Seraphina went to go and gather the sisters she would take with her. I knew I could count on her to gather Matthew. Soon I will have my son back with me and then the Volturi will finally fall and from the ashes a new order will rise and take control.

Fusedtwilight: Oh no, Joham is alive and now they are coming for Matthew! What will they do? What about the developing feelings between Fred and Leah? Will they be able to save Matthew from his father? Please stay tuned and review.
