Leah Climbed in the window, wincing as the pungent odor of vampire clung to her nose. She gave the small leech behind her a clipped look before turning her attention to the small form of the girl sitting on the bed. Her head was cocked to the side, probably sizing up the fact that a tall naked woman was climbing through her window, her mismatched eyes were filled with queries as she looked her over. Leah couldn't help the small smile that graced her lips at the girl, Sky.

"Hi little one." She whispered already aware of Sky's fear of loud noises.

"Hello." Her voice was soft, and Leah found her muscles ease at the sound of it, as she moved closer to the bed and took a seat at the end of it.

"I'm Leah." Sky's eyes lit up in recognition before she smiled.

"Scary Leah…is mean?" Leah cocked her head to the side in question. Sky leaned towards her, wincing as her ribs protested.

"Paul says you're scary." Leah laughed now. So the girl had heard Paul speaking to her as she slept, well that was comforting. 'Figures he would paint me as a big bad wolf.' Leah smiled at the thought.

"Only to big, smelly, mean, boys." Leah made a face as she said this, enjoying the small laugh it brought out of the girl.

"Well, let's look you over." Leah laughed again as she moved closer, taking in the form of the girl. Moving her hair from her face and examining the quickly fading bruises on her face.

"Well at least those leeches know how to do something good." She sighed out as she watched Sky lean away from her slightly, clearly uncomfortable with human contact.

"I'm not going to hurt you little one." She cooed, slightly saddened by how very true the 'little' part was of that statement.

"All skin and bones though, you need some Emily food, stat." Leah joked, but Sky merely cocked her head again.

"She is…well she is Sam's mate…and kind of like our…mother I guess?" Sky perked up, excitement coursing though her small body.

"Mother" Her small voice pleaded. Leah looked sad then.

"No, not 'your' mother little one." Sky's face instantly fell. Leah shifted a bit, uncomfortable with the conversation. Her fingers ran over the silken sheets as she let her thoughts wonder to subjects that she knew the pack wanted too know, and how too bring them up to Sky without scaring her.

"Do you know your mother?" It was a stupid question, she figured from Sky's previous response that she did, but one baby step at a time.

"Yes." Sky nodded as she spoke.

"Where is she?" Leah asked after a moment, sliding in to sit beside the girl.

"I don't know…she had to hide." Sky's small fingers curled into the comforter clearly reliving whatever had caused the separation.

"Why did she have to hide?" Her small fingers curled tighter into the blanket as Leah spoke.

"He called her bad things, and told her bad things….and he hurt her, and…and…she had to go away." Leah felt her own anger rise at this.

"And who is 'He'?"

"The man we stayed with, he said never call him daddy though, he's not my daddy." Sky's head fell as she spoke, and a few stray tears escaped.

"I'm not a bad girl; I promise…I told him that too, I'm a good girl…I Helped mommy hide. I told her too hide. I hid her for him…she wanted me too come…she wanted to run with me too, but NO NO!" She screamed, and screamed, and Leah was at a loss for what to do, she attempted to hold her but the girl darted out of bed with a sped that was clearly not human, landing on the hardwood floor with a 'thump'.

"SKY!!!" Pauls voice carried through the open window.

"Calm her down, I'll hold him off." Alice leapt through the window before she was even finished speaking.

"Sky…Sky..." Leah cooed as she crawled towards the girl, attempting to look as meek and harmless as possible. The girl sniffed a little, darting a look at her from behind her long bangs before burying her head further into the crook of her arm. Leah sighed, she was getting nowhere fast, and then an idea struck her.

"Do you like dogs?" Sky's trembling shoulders stilled at this. Leah smiled.

"Wanna see a really big one?" Sky's head darted up, an eager look on her face.

"You promise you won't be scared?" Sky gave a hesitant nod. Leah laughed lightly, if there was one thing that was certain, it's that kids loved 'puppies'.

"Ok here goes." She said more to herself then Sky as she crawled as far away from the girl as she could, making sure that she did not harm the girl when she phased. She gave a quick loosening shake before letting her wolf form take over, the slight burning that always accompanied it making her twitch slightly. When she opened her eyes she was startled to find Sky standing shakily across the room, but her shaking was not from fear, she could smell that much, more then likely she was shaking from straining her mistreated body just too simply stand. This thought angered Leah more, but that anger was washed away and replaced with amusement as Sky called her over like any child would call a puppy over, kissy sounds and all. She snorted slightly as Sky patted her knee, but trotted over anyway and gave the girl a slobbery kiss. Sky giggled and wrapped her small arms around Leah's massive head.

"Hi puppy." She cooed, clearly not understanding that said 'puppy' was Leah. 'Ah the wonders of youth.' Leah thought to herself as Sky continued to stroke her fur.

"I'm Kree, what's your name?" Leah cocked her head to the side. 'Kree?' Sky seemed to understand this.

"Kree, dona, Archainama ,Shelfton." She pointed to herself. 'Well that's a mouth full.' Leah thought. With a sigh she opened her mind to the pack and was instantly barraged with Sam and Paul's thoughts, both were concerned.

'She is alright.' Leah thought out loud, and instantly regretted it as nearly the whole pack started in on her. Hearing a room full of people talk is far different then having a room full of thoughts running through your head.

'SHUT UP!' But they continued until Sam, bless and curse him in the same moment, cut them off. Then, blissful silence as Leah cut the ties too the others thoughts until only Sam's remained.

'How is she?'

'Fine, you can tell Paul he will be happy to know she adores 'puppies'.' Leah scoffed in mock displeasure.

'You phased in front of her.' His voice was low and menacing, clearly displeased.

'Relax papa wolf, some people can phase in the same room as someone and not tear half their face off you know.' Leah didn't have to hear his thoughts too know he was pissed. His growl came in through the open window loud and clear.

'I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.' Leah mumbled after a moment, guilty at her strike at Sam.

'But she is fine, not even slightly scared, she is at ease with me like this.' The sudden image of Sky scrambling off the bed in terror when Leah had wrapped her hands around her slid into view, then recessed and was replaced with Sky scratching happily behind her ears now. Sam chuckled slightly at the image.

'She really isn't human is she Sam?' His chuckling stopped.

'I don't know Leah, no one does.' Images of Carlisle treating her floated through his head. Images of the girls' battered and weak body down too her odd teeth ran though her own mind. Leah let out a whine, dropping her head.

"What's wrong puppy?' Sky cooed, sitting down cross legged in front of Leah, either from exhaustion from standing so long, or trying too sooth her, maybe both. Leah dropped to her belly and laid her nose on the girls' lap, careful not to crush her.

'I think it was her father…he did this.' Leah whined out, letting Sky's short conversation play out again, although she was sure the pack had heard some of it with their sensitive ears, but most of Sky's small voice was probably drowned out by all the thoughts of the rest of the pack. So Leah let Sam see and hear everything as clearly as she had. Sam growled again, Leah could practically hear his heavy paws pacing the snow, repetitive and angry. When Leah thought back to Sky calling herself Kree, his pacing stopped.

'Kree? She already has a name? Well i know she already had a name...i guess that was a stupid question...I'm just used to Sky i guess, I named her you know? I feel like she is mine and i....' Sam let out a loud sigh in his head, Leah could feel his sorrow. He wanted Sky too be all his and Emilys' so much that he didn't even want to think that she belonged to someone else. Leah nodded and thought back to the girls' full name, trying to lighten the situation.

'A mouthful of a name if you ask me.' She chuckled slightly, her wolfish laugh making Sky…or Kree, laugh in response and continue scratching her head with new vigor.

"Sercain loves puppies, can I take you too see her when I leave?" Sky cut in the conversation Sam and Leah were having.

'Leave?' Leah whined more at the thought. Sky was in no condition to leave, and as odd as it sounded, Leah was already attached to the small slip of a girl, and her skilled little fingers.

'Leave where?' Sams' thoughts burst in, Leah sighed.

'Let me just ask her that, maybe she can read minds like that other Cullen leech.' Leah snorted, sarcasm was evident in every syllable.

'Shift back Leah, and find out what's going on.' Leah sighed, letting Sky rub at those hard to reach places a moment longer before standing up and shuffling back and away from the girl.

"Puppy, don't go." Sky whined. Leah gave her a soft bark and a toothy grin before shifting back. Sky looked on with childish confusion until Leah stood on two feet once more.

"Why are you Leah again?" 'Ah so she did at least catch on to the fact that the wolf is me…in some way' Leah thought with some relief.

"Because I can't speak to you as a wolf…or puppy." Sky nodded, but was still clearly saddened.

"You can play with the puppy later I promise. In fact, when you are better I will take you to a place with lots of puppies and you can pet them all." Sheer happiness flooded Sky's face at this.

"But first, you have to talk to me ok?" A quick nod was her reply. She sat down again, this time in front of Sky so the girl could watch her every move.

"Who gave you that pretty name?" 'Or mouthful of one.' Leah thought to herself.

"My daddy, he loves me, he says I'm a good girl too." Confusion set in now.

"I thought your daddy was a bad man?"

"No, the man we lived with was a bad man, daddy is good, and he loves me and momma, and Sercain."

"Why didn't he come save you from the bad man?" Sky looked down in sadness.

"Cause daddy went away, he said he wanted us too be normal, and live like normal people, but I don't want to be normal, those people are mean and stupid, I wanna be like daddy." 'Well she certainly has an opinion of the world that's not too far off.' Leah thought again before continuing.

"Does your daddy know that the other man is a bad man?" Sky shook her head.

"That's why I helped mommy get away, so she could save Sercain, and go find daddy, and he could come back and save me, because daddy loves me, and I know he would save me." Leah nodded.

"How did you help mommy escape?" Sky nibbled her lip. Unsure if she wanted to go on.

"You won't be mad will you, cause the bad man, he got really mad, and he chased me, and told me all kinds of mean things, and he hurt me, and he wouldn't stop and I didn't mean to be a bad girl, but I had to save Sercain!" Sky said with finality.

"I promise I won't be mad, and we will protect you from the bad man." Leah heard growls from outside the window, most likely the rest of the pack agreeing wholeheartedly with the statement. Sky looked at her again, that eerie calculating look she had when Leah first stepped in through the window was back in place, but only now did Leah see how off setting it was.

"Promise?" Leah nodded again.

"I told mommy to leave…I told her how to get away…and I told the bad man lies for three days until he found out she was gone." Sky whispered lowly. Leah looked to the window, knowing the pack probably couldn't hear the conversation with it being so low. 'Guess i will have to tell them myself.' Leah thought with a sigh...'troublesome.'

"You showed her?" Leah continued once more, confusion set firmly in place, But she figured when it came to sky, she would probably be confused more often then not. The girl had an odd way of saying things to say the least.

"I am smart you know." Sky glared slightly. Leah knew that much, no other child could ever have such a calculating look and not be, and if you took away the childish innocence and stopped looking at her as a child, and looked into those mismatched eyes, you could see her wheels turning at a rapid pace.

"So how did you help mommy escape?"

"I told her to not take anything, just money and the car, then I would tell daddy when he got home from work that she was picking up more nasty beer, and when he got home I gave him that sleepy powder you get from the store, I put a whole lot in his beer and he went to sleep. The next day I told him before he went to work, that mommy went grocery shopping, when he got home I told him mommy took Sercain over to the clinic cause she was sick, and I gave him more sleepy stuff, in the morning I told him that mommy went to pay bills, and when he got home I told him mommy was on her way home from a job interview, and I gave him more sleepy stuff, but it was almost out, and he didn't stay asleep long, he woke up, and asked where mommy was, and I told him she went to find daddy so he could kick his stupid head in." Leah let out a laugh at the last bit.

"Well you are a very smart girl and a very good girl for helping your mommy and Sercain get away…is Sercain your little sister?" Sky nodded.

"She is only half though, she is the bad mans kid, he loves her, he says I am a demon and mommy slept with the devil too get me. He didn't used to be a bad man though, he used to be nice, but then I did weird things and he started to hate me...one day he is going to be mean too Sercian too i know it, cause he used to love me too." Sky sad sadly.

"What weird things?" Leah pressed, although her heart went out to the girl and her plight.

"I move too fast sometimes, I don't mean too I swear, but sometimes I just move really fast, like swoosh." Sky made a quick motion with her arm and immediately winced when her ribs protested.

"And my baby teeth fell out and I got sharp ones, and the bad man says they are demon teeth. And I started to be really really smart, like everything was so easy to understand sometimes. Like I read all the time, and I never forget anything I read, I learned Latin all by myself." Sky said with pride.

"Latin is what daddy speaks and I wanna be just like him, because he is perfect." Leah let the thought of the leeches slip into her head, she didn't like where this was going.

"Is you mommy…like your daddy…are they cold...or do they glitter in the sunlight?" Sky looked at her strangely.

"Mommy and daddy are not Nex Paciscors." Leah really was beginning to believe that confusion would be a constant thing around Sky.

"Nex Paciscors?"

"Death dealers…not like Alice." Leah nodded. So Sky knew all about vampires.

"How do you know about vampires…about Alice?" Sky giggled slightly.

"Cause grandpa is one, and grandma, and Borthier." She spoke with a smile.

"So your daddy is?"

"Daddy is only half, Grandma Iris had him when she was still human, but he killed her on accident, cause he was too strong, but grandpa Orthien saved her, and made her just like him. Then daddy fell in love with mommy, and I was born, mommy says I was really strong too, but she lived through me cause I wasn't like daddy, not all the way." Leah was floored. Sky was a quarter leech…and those half breeds could mate?

"Do you see your Grandparents often?" Sky shook her head.

"Borthier is young, they said, and always thirsty, and he didn't wanna accidentally bite me, or hurt me cause I smell really, really good to him, mamma calls it a...singer? Well they will come back when I am all grown up cause Borthier says I am gonna be his mate, and we are gonna get married one day." Sky said this with a dreamy smile; Leah's heart went out to Paul, not only was Sky a quarter leech, a thing he hated most, but she was already spoken for, and it was evident that Sky was enamored with this Borthier.

"Why are you going to be his mate?" Leah pried. Sky looked at her puzzled.

"Cause singers are supposed to be mates, Grandpa said so, and he is really, really…really old, and he says vampires find their mates by their blood, but young vampires are too rash, and will kill them on accident instead of turn them, so grandma said they were gonna come back as soon as I was a big girl and that I was gonna be Borthiers mate." Leah stood up and walked to the window, giving the wolves down below an apologetic look before closing it. It wouldn't stop them from hearing voices, but if they spoke low enough, then the pack would not be able to make out the words. She knew they had probably only caught clips of words, otherwise she was sure Paul or Sam would have had something to bark about at the fact that not only was Sky a quarter leech, but to be mated to one.

"So is Borthier going to turn you into a vampire?" Leah couldn't stand the thought of the girls beautiful pine and wood scent being replaced by the vile stench of vampire.

"No, I can't be like them, just like daddy can't." Leah sighed in relief.

"Well won't Borthier be sad when you grow old and pass on?"

"I'm not gonna die." Sky put bluntly.

"Sky." Leah cooed, not liking the idea of explaining to a little girl she was going to die one day one bit.

"When time passes, some people…they grow old..And one day..." Sky giggled, stopping Leah from continuing.

"I know what it is to die, and I know I won't. My children may grow old…If i can have them...I don't know really, but I have too much Death dealer in me, Grandpa says one day, I will just stop growing older. We don't know when, but I will." Leah didn't know if she should be floored or soaring. Was it true? Was Sky really an immortal? If so…then Paul…the lucky bastard!

"So you won't…"

"Nope." Sky said with a broad smile.

"And Borthier was happy too hear too, cause he didn't want me too die either, cause he says he loves me, even if he wants to eat me. He is going to conquer his blood lust though, cause grandpa says even though I'm gonna stop aging some day, I'm still only a quarter though, so i can get hurt and Borthier doesn't wanna hurt me." Sky smiled her dreamy smile again, and Leah felt her heart sink.

"But doesn't Borthier scare you? He is a man." Sky shook her head.

"No, the bad man is a man, men are human, they are flawed and angry, and mean, and spiteful. Borthier is a death dealer, and he is wise, and gentle, and forgiving…just like daddy." Leah sighed. So it wasn't men she was afraid of, so much as 'human' men.

"Why can you get hurt? Nessie is a half vampire, she can't get hurt." Sky cocked her head again.

"Nessie is a Cullen, she is Alices' niece…she is in Greece right now." Sky nodded in understanding.

"I am only a quarter; Grandpa says my vampire blood will slowly take over, not like daddy. He says when I am all grown up I will be more like daddy, i will still be weaker then him, but i will be stronger then now, that's why Borthier has to wait till i am grown up too" Leah let a small smile grace her lips.

"So you like Borthier?" Sky nodded vigorously.

"So what's he like?" Leah knew she would have to ease into this conversation, but knew that Paul would at least want to know what he was competing with.

"He has black hair, really black; it looks like its blue in the sun." 'Score one for Paul, both have black hair, Leah tallied.'

"…and really pretty bright golden eyes." Leah could have danced for the golden eyes part. At least her family was 'vegetarian'. 'But sadly, score one for blood suckers, Pauls brown gaze was nothing like the Cullens golden hue.'

"and he is tall…really tall." 'Score two for the meat head.' Leah thought as she tallied one more for Paul.

"And really pale." 'Score two for the blood suckers.'

"And he is strong, but not as big as the scary men." Sky made a pointing motion discreetly towards the window. 'Score three to the blood suckers.'

"And he is really nice, but he can't be around me much, but he is nice when he is." Leah wasn't sue she could tally that one. Paul would be around a lot, but she wasn't sure if he would be 'nice' he was more prone to his passionate side.

"And he is smart too, like super smart." 'Paul is so screwed.'

"And he has lots of money just like daddy and grandma and grandpa, so he always bought me things, but I don't care about toys, so he buys me books, lots of books…I have a whole library at daddy's house that he bought, just for me, and he even reads to me, even though I know how, but I like when people read to me." She smiled broadly, and Leah caught the first glimpse of the sharp teeth that Sam had shown her in his head. They were delicate little points, almost cute if you didn't know why they were there.

"Why didn't your daddy turn your mamma into a vampire?" The question was out of the blue, but Leah found herself asking it anyway.

"Because mamma says she wants too die one day, and meet god…daddy was sad, he always asked her to let him, but mommy always said no…I don't want mommy to meet god, cause he won't give her back if she goes to him." The statement made Leah realize once again that even if this girl was insanely perceptive and smart…she was still just a child.

"Mommy doesn't age around me anyway, and that's why I have to get better, so I can go be with her again, and make sure God doesn't get her." Confusion…how Leah despised it.

"Mommy doesn't age around you?" Sky shook her head.

"Grandpa says it's my 'Calling', he says that lots of vampires have them. He was happy I had it too. He says I am a giver of life, which makes me weird even by vampire standards, cause they take it." Leah scooted closer, taking in Sky's appearance once again, trying to find answers in her mismatched Blue and green orbs as they locked with her own. The swirling colors captivated her.

"Don't do that too long." Leah snapped out of it.

"Do what?"

"Look at them too long, grandpa says that cause I am a giver of life that I am a liver of it as well."

"What?" Leah was sure the dumbfounded expression she had on her face was priceless but she didn't care.

"I have seen every life ever lived, and if you look too close, you will too, and Grandpa says that can be a bad thing." Leah fought the urge too look again; just too see what she would find in those eyes.

"Why is it a bad thing?"

"Cause he says someone might get lost in there and never come back out."

"How do you mean lost?"

"Like Narcissus and his pool of water." Leah grasped the idea of that. Someone would be so caught up in reliving their lives, and others, that they would waste away.

"But that would take weeks." Leah laughed.

"You would have to blink sometime." Sky shook her head.

"Grandpa says the more my vampire takes over, the more dangerous they will be, and you would waste away in minutes, cause you lived your whole life in them already."

"Explain that one to me kid." Leah laughed, letting her shoulders fall back slightly so she was leaning against the foot of the bed.

"Minutes become years, seconds days, they would suck the life from you." Sky gave her a pointed look.

"So I could see my past in there?" Sky shook her head.

"Only if that's what you wanted too see, when I said I had seen many lives, I didn't mean the ones you are living while you are awake." Leah's eyes snapped open.

"You see their dreams…" Sky nodded.

"If I looked I could, but I don't like watching people's dreams and fantasies…people are weird…and creepy..." Leah laughed at that, Sky was once more showing her age, and it was comforting.

"So what was that about people not aging around you?" Leah had been so distracted by the idea that everyone's heaven lay within the little girls eyes, but at a price.

"Grandpa says I can make the sands stop in your hour glass." Leah peered at Sky through half lidded eyes. Sky's grandpa sure was a poet with his words.

"So I would never age as long as I stood next to you?" Leah knew she would never age anyway, not until she stopped phasing, but Sky didn't.

"No, it doesn't work like that. I love my mommy, and I never want her too die, and grandpa says it's that love that triggers my power to work." Leah nodded. So she had to love you for it too work? Interesting.

"What about Sercain? Will she be a little girl forever?" Sky shook her had.

"I want her to grow up, I love her, but I know she isn't going to die soon."

"And your mother is?" Sky looked sad again.

"Momma is sick, that's why daddy wanted to change her so bad, she says God is trying too call her home early. She says I am fighting God when I stop her from aging, and I shouldn't, but I don't care, he can't have her, she is mine." Leah could understand that, she had watched her mother pass just two years ago. No child wants their parents to pass away, and as selfish as it was, they would never stop trying to hold on to them, even if only in memory. A soft snore pulled Leah from her revelries to find Sky leaned against the couch, sleeping like a baby. Leah had a moments thought to wake her and continue, but thought better of it, the poor girl needed rest. She picked her up carefully and set her on the bed before pulling the covers over her and opening the window. Alices' golden eyes stared back. Had she been there the whole time?

"I heard everything."

"Guess I am going to have to go straight to the point with them huh?" Alice shook her head.

"They didn't hear, I think you should tell Sam first, your pack doesn't like half breeds like Jacob."

"Well I'm glad this isn't my pack." Leah hissed back, Alice looked apologetic.

"Paul despises them most; I don't even want to imagine how he will take this." Leah knew the little leech was right.

"I can't believe I am saying this, but Alice, could you…could you Cullens, keep her here a little longer then expected, protect her?" Alice nodded quickly, a Cheshire grin on her face.

"One word wolf girl…Rosalie."
