The Brother I Never Knew
Chapter 23
fusedtwilight: I hope you are all enjoying the story. I found it tough to do Jamie. I mean how do you do a sociopath? I didn't want to potray him as a psycho killer, but i didn't want him to be some Anti-hero either. I want people to be a little creeped out but hiss cold perception of the world but not fearful of him. I am trying to portary him as something nother good or evil, but more instinctual. A person who lives by the laws of the jungle. And with that i would like to thank my beta animegirlkiki for taking time out of her busy schedule to do this.
Leah P.O.V
Man what was I thinking?
A sociopathic Werewolf and I was going to be babysitting him? Why in the hell am I doing this? Why can’t Jared or someone else do it? I’m not even in the same pack as Sam, why should I have to help him. I don’t owe him dick.
I quickly called Jake up; he was over at his fathers. It had been a while since him, Billy, and Rachel where together and they hadn’t spent any time together in a while. I needed to let him know what was up.
The phone rang five times before someone finally answered it.
“Hello?” A female voice answered, it was Rachel.
“Rachel this is Leah, is Jake there I need to talk to him,” I said.
“Can it wait Leah? Where in the middle of something,” She said.
I didn’t like the tone in her voice; like she was irritated I called. Rachel and I never got along as kids. She was such a girl, where’s I was a tomboy. While she liked to play with dolls I liked to climb trees and see how far up I could get. Where she liked to read fashion magazines I was out hunting. We where polar opposites.
“This is important, it’s wolf business.”
“I’m sure it can wait Leah, unless vampires are out running amok,” she said impatiently.
I wanted to put her in her place, but starting a fight wouldn’t settle things. No matter how much it seemed like a good idea. So I had to bite my tung and take a diplomatic approach. “Rachel please this is important. I’m not going to ask him to leave the house and spoil your fun with him. I just need to pass on some information,” I said calmly as possible.
“What is so important you need to call now?” She asked.
“That is none of your concern,” I chastised.
“If it has anything to do with my brother then it does concern me,” She said hotly.
“Oh now you care,” I sneered. How often did she call Billy or Jake? How often did she come and visit them? She was so obsessed with getting out of La Push and going to college, then she comes back and gets imprinted on by Paul and now she doesn’t want to leave. Stupid imprinting. I didn’t want to tell her what Sam told me, I had a feeling he was trying to keep that part hush, hush. Besides if and when Sam wanted people to know Paul would be the first one to tell her, lord knows he tells her everything.
“And what does that mean exactly?” She asked sounding offended by my comment.
This was getting me nowhere, time to be the bitch I was born to be. “Look, this doesn’t concern you, you aren’t in our pack, or even imprinted to anyone in our pack,” I said putting extra emphasis on our. “Jake is my Alpha and any information I have to give to him will be given directly to him, not passed along to him.. Now put him on the phone so I can get out of you’re hair or I will come up there myself and believe me you won’t like it when I get there.”
I heard the phone move around and Rachel say something to someone. “Leah?” Jake asked.
“Jake, sorry to interrupt but there is something you need to know.” I said.
“What is it, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing exactly, I just got a call from Sam, he would like me to keep an eye on Jamie today, none of the other wolves want to because there to scared of him.”
“Why would they be scared of him?” He asked.
“Oh, it might have something to do with the fact he is a sociopath,” I said sounding airy about it.
“What?” He asked.
I told him everything Sam told me.
“And he wants you to bring him over to the Cullens? Jesus Leah,” Jake said sounding shocked.
“I know, believe me I know.”
“We can’t have him go to the Cullen’s, not with the pups and the smell of vampire all over the place,” He said.
“That’s why I called you; I want to bring him over to the Cullen’s.” I said.
“What! Why? He’s not like the pups, he is old enough to be a threat to them Leah, if he phases he could hurt anyone of them.”
“I know, but Sam says he’s not evil Jake, and if he really is a sociopath I want to know his intentions. I want to know if he is a threat to any of us, Edward and Jasper can work there magic on him, see what he is like,” I said.
“Hmm, that does make sense. Okay, call the Cullens and let them know, and be careful from what you have told me it seems like he has too much an interest in you then what is comfortable.” He said.
“I know. I’m going to have a little talk with him about that.” I wasn’t blind; I knew Jamie had a greater interest in me then what he had with the others. I had no idea why though. Aren’t sociopath’s supposed to be unable to love?
“What did you say to Rachel? She is really pissed right now.” He asked.
“Your nosey ass sister was throwing a fit about me calling up for you, then she wanted to know what about. I simply told her it was none of her business and if she didn’t put you on the phone I would come there myself.” At least I didn’t cuss at her. That’s what the old me would have done.
“Thanks Leah, now I’m going to have to do damage control again.”
“Why? She up your ass too?” The fact that there were two packs now had caused a bit of a schism. Even the elders are divided, some are happy that Jake has his own pack, they think it is a sign he will take control of both packs eventually and are willing to wait things out. The other half doesn’t want him as the big Alpha of all wolves. They remembered what he was like when he had the hots for Bella Swan, and weren’t happy about his imprinting on a half-breed leech. Bunch of picky bastards, if Jake had imprinted on a human they would all be happy, but noooo.
“Of course. All she ever says is how I should let same run both packs, how Sam has been doing this longer, how Sam is doing such a good job with so many wolves on his side. And I try to explain things to her but she always makes me to look like the one causing all the problems.” He said sounding tired. I knew that tone of voice, it’s the tone you get when you try to voice an opinion but no one cares to listen.
“Then stop trying to talk to her about the packs Jake, if you haven’t convinced her now then there’s no point. I think you are a great leader Jake, your better then Sam in some ways. I mean he is a good leader too don’t get me wrong. But he isn’t as open minded as you, he doesn’t try and act like a friend, he acts like a hard ass general who expects nothing but obedience. He treats us good but it’s good to have a voice. You give us that Jake.”
“Thanks Leah, I just wish everyone else saw that.” He said sounding sad.
“Oh stop you mopping you little bitch, I know it, our pack knows it, the leeches know it, your father knows it. Just give it some time sooner or later everyone will see it.” There was no way I was going to let him be the depressed one. I had exclusive rights to that position.
“Well I better get going, call me if there are any complications.” He said.
“Don’t worry I will.” We hanged up. I dialed one more number, time to call the Cullens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jamie P.O.V
We phased.
After I got ready and Sam called Leah to let her know, we turned into our wolf forms. Luckily no one was in wolf form besides us so I didn’t have to worry about anyone listening in on us.
We weren’t running, we where strolling. But running or strolling it was fun. The new senses are amazing, my hearing was so sharp I could hear the squirrels in the trees, my sense of smell was so sharp it was overwhelming.
“It is pretty good once you get used to it,” Sam said.
Opps, I hadn’t meant to say that out loud, this mind link thing was trickier then I thought. I focused less on the thrill of being a wolf and more on keeping him out.
“No, don’t,” Sam said. “Jamie let me in please.”
“Why? You want to see through the eyes of a sociopath?” I laughed.
“Jamie, I want to help you. I want to know you better; I want to be your brother. But I don’t know how, I can lead a pack of wolves and fight an army of vampires but when it comes to you I am at a loss.”
“So you want me to open up to you so you can become closer to me?” I asked.
“Not just you, me too. We both open up our minds, we show each other all our memories so we can make up for lost time. I will know everything about you, and you will know everything about me.”
I thought about it for a second. It would be useful to know about Sam, he may have knowledge about Leah that could help me in my future endeavors. On the other hand, if he was to see my life from beginning to end he may lose trust in me, it may give him the edge in the future and render my manipulations of him useless.
“No, my mind is my own, my thoughts, my feelings, all that is me is mine alone. No one but me will have access to that. If you want to learn more about me you’re going to have to do it the old fashioned way.”
“That’s the problem, you won’t talk to me. And I don’t know if what you tell me is the truth, I want to know everything about you. Your favorite color, you’re favorite movie, what you want to be when you grow up, what your childhood was like all that.” He said sounding desperate.
“Sam I won’t tell you of my past. We both know it wasn’t something I want to relive, the past is dead. I’m living in the here and now. But I will tell you my likes and dislikes when I get back from hanging out with Leah,” I said.
“Thanks Jamie, I hope you have fun with Leah today.”
“I’m looking forward to meeting these Cullens.” Opps shouldn’t have said that. I could feel his agitation increase greatly. I also got a glimpse into his mind. He was nervous that if I went into the Cullens I would become buddies with them and join Jake’s pack.
“Don’t worry Sam I’m not going to jump ship.” Anytime soon.
“Don’t let them fool you Jamie, no matter how human they look or act they are monsters. I also think you need to be aware of certain members of the Cullens. Out of the nine Cullens five have powers.” He opened up his mind to show me five faces. I had never met these…people but for each face I had a name.
“Edward is the fastest of the Cullens and he has the power to hear your thoughts. Alice is the smallest one, she can see the future but she can’t see it if we are involved, for some reason she can’t see us in her visions. Jasper is her mate, be especially careful of him, he can sense and manipulate emotions but he is especially a skilled fighter.” He showed me of his memories of the one called Jasper teaching them to fight newborns, and during the battle where they fought side by side. I was impressed.
“Bella Swan is the newest vampire, she is still a newborn so her strength is still something fierce, her ability protects her from other vampire powers, she can also expand this as a field to protect the minds of others. And finally there is Nessie, she is Bella and Edwards daughter. She was conceived before her mother was transformed. She is Jacob’s imprint and she is capable of sharing her memories with others.”
“What about the rest?”
“They have no extra abilities, the big one Emmett is the strongest of the Cullens but only because of how big he is. The blonde one is a loud mouth but is a fierce fighter. Dr. Cullen and his wife Esme are the most peaceful of the family. But don’t underestimate them; a vampire is a vampire whether they drink human blood, or animal blood.”
“Will do big brother, will do.”
We continued on our way to Leah’s, I was looking forward to this little trip. I wanted to meet these vampires and study them more closely. This should be interesting.

Leah P.O.V
I was driving to the Cullens with Jamie.
Sam and he had shown up and I told Sam when to expect us back. Jamie seemed to be excited; can you believe he actually wanted to meet them? A Werewolf wanting to play scientist with Vampires? How laughable.
“So how do you like being a Werewolf?” I asked him.
“It’s good, healing, senses. The feel of the air rushing through my fur, it’s amazing.”
“I hear your cousins are coming to visit tonight.”
“They’re Sam’s cousins not mine, there related to him from his mother. They are moving here from the Makah reservation,” He said.
“So a sociopath huh?”
There was a silence in the car, at first I thought I made him angry.
“Does my being a sociopath bother you?” He asked with a chilling smile on his face.
Uh…yeah. It bothers me a sociopath is in my car while I’m driving in the middle of nowhere. Why shouldn’t I be nervous?
“I’m not going to hurt you Leah. If I wanted to hurt you I would have done it sooner.” He said gently.
“I’m sorry, I have known you for a few months now. And it’s true in that time you have done me no I’ll…except for last night.”
“Which I apologized for.”
“But I can’t help but be bothered by it; your kind doesn’t exactly have a very good rep in the world.”
“No, I suppose we don’t. I don’t get angry Leah, last night was the only time in my life I have ever really felt rage. All those times I got into fights was because they started it, but I finished it. I don’t see the world like everyone else does Leah. It’s like those emotions normal people feel complicates life’s equation so instead of two plus two equaling four it equals twenty. But I don’t have and morals or reservations. Life is simple, emotions just complicate things. My tormenters picked on me because they thought I was weak. So I hurt them to prove I wasn’t.” He said looking out the window.
“Did you really have to staple a girl’s face to a chalk board?” I asked dryly.
“Ah, Sam told you about that. Yes I did pain is a good teacher; the girl in question kept on making fun of the clothes I wore. I would go to the teacher and she would only scold her, my mother told me to tough it up. And once I saw neither of them where going to help I took action of my own. And after that she never made fun of me again. You should know what it is like to be the underdog Leah.” He stopped looking out the window to look at me. “To always be perceived as the weaker one because of who you are, to always have to fight to prove you’re worth. That is me. I do what I must to survive, that was how I was raised. It’s all I know.”
“Yeah I know what that feels like alright.” I said remembering my early wolf days.
We didn’t talk the rest of the way there. I may have been quiet on the outside but on the inside I was a riot. All I could think about was what he had said. ‘I do what I must to survive’ ‘you know what it is like to be perceived as the weaker one’. Who’d have thought we would have so much in common. But whether that is a good thing or a bad thing or a bad thing is yet to be seen.
