Double the Imprint

Chapter 4

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing.

EJ P.O.V

"Please Leah," I begged her.

"No," she said firmly.

We were in the woods. Mom and Nessie and Jake were with us. Nessie rode Jake and they were talking about hunting.

I was trying to convince Leah to let me bite her. Jake lets Nessie bite him all the time and Nessie tells me he tastes very good. She shows me her memories and I can taste his flesh on my tongue. It makes me hungry.

"But Jake lets Nessie bite him," I said.

"Jake is whipped," she said.

Jake was in his wolf form and shot her a dirty look. Nessie giggled and petted Jake's head.

"What does whipped mean?" I asked.

"It means he will do anything for her even if it means it is stupid," she said.

"But you said you would do anything for me Leah," I said recalling her words.

She smiled. "Of course I would, just not that."

"Awww," I said pouting.

"EJ don't pout," mom said.

"Yes mom," I said using my mind

She did not respond. I keep on forgetting I can't speak with her like I can the others. It's not fair! How come Nessie can talk with her but I can't?

Maybe it is because my mind is like hers? I know dad can't use his power on me, just like mom's. But then how come Nessie can?

I am glad I can speak with Leah at least. I would be really angry if I couldn't speak to Leah.

Nessie and I like using our powers to talk more then we like suing our voices. Talking is so messy and people get confused when you don't talk like they do. But mind-speaking has no confusion.

"Hey Nessie, let's hunt! We'll see who can catch the biggest one!"

Nessie smiled. Nessie had a competitive streak. We liked to play this game. We would hunt and Jake and Leah would follow us and we would see who could get to the moose or deer first.

Uncle Emmett told us about creatures like bears and mountain lions that were so strong you could wrestle with them before you could kill them. They could put up a bit of a fight, so they were more fun.

Mom and dad said we had to wait until we were a little older before we could hunt them.

Everything was going okay until mom, Jake and Leah froze. They were all staring at something in the distance.

It was a woman. She was pretty, like Aunt Rose pretty. Her hair was silvery blonde and went to her chin; she was white like our family and had the same yellow eyes.

But I could sense everyone was tense. Leah stood close to me, a low growl vibrated from her throat. The woman looked at her with disgust.

Then she looked at me and Nessie and there was such a look of rage and betrayal. I did not know who she was or why she was so upset. Maybe she was lonely.

I reached out to her mind with mine. "Hello, would you like to play with us?" I asked waving to her.

The woman looked shocked, then turned and ran. "Stay with them!" Mom said as she went chasing after the lady.

"Leah, who was she?" I asked.

"I don't know," she said.

Nessie and I sat on the couch.

We held hands and were talking privately.

"Who do you think that lady was?" I asked her.

Nessie showed me an image of a picture she saw hanging in grandpa Carlisle's office. It showed dad and the others minus mom plus another group of people. Among them was the woman we had seen.

The next image was a memory she had of the others talking about a woman called Irina.

"I wonder why she was upset?"

Nessie shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah, your right. If there was a problem Aunt Alice would have seen something right?"

Leah P.O.V

We had a huge problem.

That bitch Irina is going to the Volturi!

Alice had a vision of her going to them and telling them that the Cullens created an immortal child. According to Carlisle making a child a vampire is so taboo it is an automatic death sentence. Apparently Irina's mom created one years ago and was killed.

She already had issues with the wolves because her mate was killed by us. It happened before me and Seth joined, from what I learned from Jake and the others Laurant had been a coven mate with James and Victoria but went to live with the other coven of animal eaters in Alaska.

But he came back as a favor for Victoria and was going to kill Bella, but Sam and the others killed him.

But Irina thinks the Cullens made two immortal children and blames them for not wanting to help her kill us. Now she may be able to do both with the Volturi's help.

Edward is convinced they will try and find a way to try and kill the coven. He says the leader Aro wants him and Alice more than anything. He says even if Nessie and Ej are proven not to be immortal children, Aro will find a reason to provoke a fight, to try and manipulate things so he can get Edward and Alice to join along with anyone else gifted.

What's worse is Alice and Jasper left. Just like that they were gone. They came through our land, heading for the water. They asked Sam's permission to go to the beach so they could swim away.

That did not help our mood, even though she left instructions I still could not help but feel betrayed. How could she leave her family in their hour of need? Was her vision so horrible she would just up and leave?

Then Emmett of all people came up with an idea. We gather a whole bunch of people to witness for us. The Volturi would not be coming for another month so we still had time. In that time the witnesses would observe Nessie and EJ and see they were aging, so thereby not immortal children.

I guess they called some friends from Alaska, the rest of Irina's family. The Denali coven to come down. We had to be careful; they were purists when it came to the law.

We waited for them to arrive. Bella and Edward held their children, Jake and I stood behind them. Their first reaction to the twins was one of shock and outrage, but the Cullens managed to talk some sense into them.

The woman called Carmen had the balls to come up and inspect the children herself. Soon she was holding them and calling them baby names in Spanish.

That broke the ice for the others and soon they were looking at the twins as well. I didn't like the fact these strangers were looking at EJ. I knew Jake was feeling the same way.

One vampire in particular took an interest in the twins. The one called Eleazar. Like his wife Carmen he had slightly tanned skin and black hair.

He looked at the twins amazed.

"Amazing, to think such a thing is possible," he said.

"Hello Eleazar, Nessie and I are very pleased to meet you," EJ said.

Eleazar looked amazed. "How is he doing that? Why can't I see his gift?" he looked to Bella. "Or yours? Why can't I read the both of you?"

"Didn't you have the same problem when she was human Eleazar?" Carmen asked.

"What do you mean, she is right there," I said.

"You misunderstand me. I have the gift for reading the gifts of our kind. I am able to tell the kind of gift they posses. It was a technique that Aro used when I was a member of the Volturi."

"What!" I snarled.

He held up his hands. "I left them a long time ago. My gift works better on our kind. I can use it on humans, but it is a lot harder to use it on them. Aro would send me out to find humans who I thought were gifted enough to join the Volturi. When I look at Renesmee I can begin to understand her gift. But EJ and Bella I get absolutely nothing from them, which does not make sense seeing as he obviously is gifted."

He rubbed his chin. "Which is odd, no two vampire powers are ever the same because no two minds are the same. Bella are you and EJ immune to all vampire powers?"

"No, Renessmee can use her power on us. She is the only one who can affect my mind."

"Wait, Jasper can alter your mood," I said.

I notice her face as well as the other Cullens got sad when I mentioned Jasper.

"Jasper affects the chemicals in the mind, not the mind itself," Carlisle said, "it is why he is able to alter Bella's mood."

"That is cutting it pretty close," I said.

"Well then, you must be shields," Eleazar said.

"A what?" Jake asked.

"We tried to categorize our gifts, which is almost an impossible task seeing how different the gifts can be. But powers that protect their user, that keep them from being harmed in some way are always called shields."

They went on and talked more about gifts. Jake and I stayed silent, just observing.

"Kate, try your talent on Bella," Eleazar asked.

"I don't think we should," Edward said looking tense.

"What can Kate do?" I asked.

"I can wrap a field around my body that turns me into a living taser. It is an electrical current that can bring down vampires for a few seconds, but it is long enough for me to finish them off.

She grinned but it was deadly. I had to make a mental note not to touch her under any circumstances.

"Kate makes them crispy!" EJ said with a giggle.

Kate smiled at him and he blushed. I so wanted to rip her head off then.

"Sounds like Jane's power. That didn't work on me," Bella said.

"I couldn't always make it stretch over my body, when I first started it was limited to my hands, but I learned to project it to cover my whole being."

"Maybe I can learn to project my gift as well?" Bella asked.

"Bella, we don't even know if you have a gift," Edward said quickly.

"Edward, think about it. If Kate can learn to project her power what if I learned to project mine as well? It could help protect us from the Volturi's power."

"We don't even know if your power can reject all of their powers love."

"I can help you with that. I did help recruit many of them, I can give you a list of all their powers and help figure out which may or may not affect her."

Bella handed EJ over to Edward and walked over to Kate. "Try me," Bella said.

"Alright, I am just going to give you a low dosage, don't want to hurt you. My gift may be like Jane's but I am not her when it comes to using it on everyone."

She touched Bella and nothing happened. I saw her frown and a look of concentration crossed her face. "Nothing. And I am giving you enough charge to bring you down."

"Me next!" EJ said.

"No!" everyone said at once.

"Aww, but I want to help too," EJ said.

"Just leave everything to us son, we'll take care of you," Edward said kissing EJ on the top of his head.

Carlisle decided to leave to go find some friends overseas. Before he left he took me and Jacob aside.

"I think you should know that the friends we are gathering...aren't like us. They can be trusted to help, but they still drink human blood."

I looked at Jake and he did not look as happy as I did at the idea of their being human eating vampires around. The Denali coven could be trusted they drank animal blood and were tame. But nomads were more wild and dangerous.

Plus we did kill them on sight.

"I will make it clear to them they must hunt away from Forks and La Push. Could you please explain the situation to your elders?"

"Of course," Jake said.

He looked at me; I had to bite my tongue. I hated the idea of working with nomads. But if it can help EJ so be it.

I was thinking maybe Sam was right about me being compromised.

We were meeting with the elders and Sam.

We explained the situation to everyone.

"So these Volturi are coming here?" Old Quil asked looking terrified.

"Yes. Irina thinks that the Cullens made two immortal children and her mother was killed for making an immortal child, plus we did kill her mate. She has every reason to want us dead. The Volturi have been looking for an excuse to attack the Cullen's. Irina just gave them the excuse they needed," Jake said.

"So we're just supposed to work with more leeches?" Sam asked looking angry.

"Carlisle said he would make sure they hunt far from La Push or Forks," Jake said.

"It doesn't matter. Whether they kill humans here or someone else, humans will still be dead."

"I agree, how do we know they won't turn on us once the Volturi situation is taken care of?" mom asked.

"They are friends of the Cullens, they would not turn on them," Jake said.

"Carlisle is a good judge of character, I trust him," I said.

"All they are going to do is watch the twins grow then once they give their evidence they will be on their marry way," Jake said.

Billy had been quiet, but I could see he was thinking three steps ahead of us. Seeing the bigger picture.

"I think we should ask ourselves what the presence of so many vampires in one place will do to our people."

"Carlisle said he would make sure-"

"I do not mean them becoming food Jake...I mean what will happen when so many vampire show up and it affects those with the wolf gene."

"Shit!" I cursed. "He's right, before we had three at the most, then the Cullen's popped up, then Victoria and her newborns. Now with the vampires coming to help the Cullen's plus these Volturi guys...God how many wolves will be born as a result of this?"

"Exactly. Collin, Brady and Seth are the youngest we have ever had. But how much younger will the next generation be?"

"We could simply hide the twins and let the Cullens fend for themselves," Old Quil said. "They are part of our tribe so we have a responsibility to protect them, but not the Cullens."

"Where would we hide them?" mom asked. "Here? They would find them. And what do you think they are going to do when they realize there are werewolves running around?"

"Sue is right, this is no longer a fight to save a pair of imprints, it is a battle for the survival of our people," Billy said.

"What do we do if any more phase?" mom asked.

"Then they will do what all other wolves have done."

"Billy, what if they are younger then Seth? Collin? Brady?"

Billy looked at her, his face was firm but there was a sadness in his eyes. "They will fight."

"But children?"

"We need all the help we can get Sue. And it is their lives on the line, they must fight."

Mom looked angry but said nothing else.

The idea of kids younger than my own brother phasing and fighting for their lives seemed ridiculous. Absurd. Wrong.

But Billy was right. They had to fight, fight to live. Just like the rest of us. I wish to God I could change that. What kind of fucked up world do we live in where a child has kill or be killed?

"We will make sure the Cullens friends stay out of La Push," I said. "I am not happy about working with nomads but if their testimony can help avoid a fight I am all for it."

"If there are any new wolves I will take them," Sam said. "While Jake and his pack keep the vampires in check we will train the new wolves. We will teach them what the Cullens taught us. The newborn training might not help against something like these Volturi, but it is better than nothing."

"Very well. Spread the world, and let us pray to our ancestors to lend us their strength during these harsh times," Billy said.

The meeting broke up and Jake and I headed out. But Sam stopped us.

"Leah, a word?" he asked.

Jake looked at me, asking me with his eyes if it was okay. I nodded and Jake left, giving us some privacy.

We stood there in awkward silence. Then he spoke.

"I need to apologize, Leah."

"I kind of figured that," I said.

"Leah...you have to understand. When you left, I was hurt, angry, I felt betrayed. I knew you were just looking out for Seth but still it hurt. I was afraid for you, I didn't want you and Seth to get hurt, I was afraid Jacob was going to get you killed trying to protect Bella. So I tried luring you away by using your mom and your pet name. I was just trying to get you back where you would be safe. Then when you told me you had imprinted on a hybrid I lost it. I know I said a lot of stuff but these last few months I have had time to think. I was just scared for you Leah."

"Scared?"

"Yes. I know how powerful the imprint is. I started thinking that when the Cullens leave you will have to go because you won't stand being away from him. I realized I didn't want you to go because...I still love you.

"Who Sam come on-"

"No, you need to hear this. I still love you Leah, I always have, I didn't just felt betrayed because you imprinted on a hybrid, I felt betrayed because you imprinted in general. I was being an ass, I was being selfish. Because once again this whole werewolf and vampire bullshit is changing our lives. Once again all our planes and dreams have to be forgotten. I know you want to go to college, I know you want to have a family. At least you could adopt a kid with a human. So I was jealous at a baby for being imprinted on you, for severing that small link we had left and I was angry that your life is going to have to change so much to accommodate him. Jake I can handle, but you?"

He shook his head. "I have no right, not after what I put you through, I know. But I still love you Leah. But I have seen how much he has changed you. He did the impossible; he patched up the hole I made in your heart. You are so different then what you were, and I am grateful for him doing that, the least I can do for him is help protect him, especially considering I tried to kill him."

He finished and let me speak. "Sam...I still love you too. I mean hell, Jake still cares for Bella. Not like he did of course, but he still cares for her and wants her to be happy. They are friends again. Imprinting may make strong ties to the imprint, but it can't sever all the bounds we make. I will always care for you and every once in a while I may even think back to the old days a little wistfully. I don't hate you Sam, I never really did, I was just angry at everyone. Maybe one day we can hang out and drink beer and reminisce but there is still a lot of bad blood between us. I think with enough time we can be a family, you, me, Emily and even EJ."

I walked up to him and gave him a hug. He hugged me back and we separated. "Just do me a favor."

"What?"

"When you train the next group, go easy on them. Teenagers are one thing, but kids are different. Try to be gentle with them and remember they are still innocent. Try and preserve that innocence. Lord knows this life will squash it out of them."

"I will," he said.

"And try to listen to people more. You may be the alpha but that doesn't mean you are always right."

He smiled. "I will try. You spend so long giving orders you fall out of habit listening to others."

"See you later Sam, I hope we can survive this mess."

"Me too Leah, me too."

We split, heading towards different directions. I found Jake waiting for me in the woods.

"How did it go?" he asked.

"We bridged the gap a little," I said.

He nodded and we headed for the Cullen's. A few more vampires had arrived but we ignored them. EJ and Nessie were in their parent's cabin, getting ready for bed. They were happy to see us. EJ told us all about the new vampires they met.

Bella and Edward let us tuck them in tonight and read them the story. A thing I noticed about EJ and Nessie, Nessie hates being told the same story again. EJ loves hearing them again. So first Jake told a new story from our tribe and I told the story of Dask'iya, the ogress who ate children.

It wasn't as bad as it sounds; it's like our version of Hansel and Gretel.

They fell asleep, Jake held Nessie's hand and I knew he was seeing what she was dreaming; EJ was subconsciously projecting his dreams into my head.

He dreamed he was a warrior child, with a sword and shield. I was in my wolf form and he rode me like I was a horse. We faced off against the evil Dask'iya. His image of the she-demon was a massively tall female ogre with long curved horns and long jagged teeth and long white hair.

"Run away foul beast while you can! You cannot face the magnificent EJ and his silver coated companion Leah!" he said in his dream, brandishing his sword at the beast.

It was a dream but my heart still skipped a beat at seeing him fight a monster. Even if it was a dream.

I watched as we fought the monster together. He had a very rich, detailed imagination. His senses were just as good as a vampire's.

"Man these kids have awesome dreams," I said.

"I know, Nessie is dreaming of us all dancing in a circle to that crappy piano music Edward likes."

"EJ's is more fun," I said poking fun at him.

"Whatever. Nessie is more refined," he said.

"Jake...what are we going to do?" I asked.

"We fight of course," he said.

"I mean...when the Cullens must leave. What do we do then?"

"We will cross that bridge when we get there," he said.

It was a good answer, but it won't last forever.

I lost myself to EJ's dream we had defeated the ogress and were being hailed heroes by the people. I hope this dream is a sign of things to come. Because in real life the monsters are a lot harder to kill.

Fusedtwilight: Next chapter is a Christmas chapter and Bella and Leah have a serious talk. What about? Wait and see, please review.
