Double The Imprint
Chapter 5
Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki. Last chapter Irina showed up and Sam apologized to Leah. This chapter is a nice get together chapter and Leah and Bella have a serious talk.
EJ P.O.V
In the days that passed more vampires showed up.
They didn't have yellow eyes like our family. When we asked why the grown ups just told us they had a different lifestyle.
They all tried to keep us out of the loop. But Nessie and I knew something bad was coming. Some people called the Volturi thought our family did something bad and were coming to hurt us.
Nessie and I were upset that we were the cause of the trouble. The idea that just by existing we put others in harms way seemed ludicrous. Nessie broods on it more then I do. I am confidant once they see we are not what they think we are they will leave us alone.
Who knows, maybe we can be friends?
Nessie says I am too optometry, I tell her she is too pessimistic. Nessie is like dad on how he thinks too much and is more prone to taking too much responsibility.
I noticed I was the odd ball of my family. I acted more like Uncle Emmett then I did my parents or sisters. My parents and sister were more composed and to be frank a little boring. I liked to have fun and do things. I liked to take risks and live life to the fullest.
Not to say there is some great divide between me and my family. Mom says I take after my grandma Renee. I wish to meet her; mom says we can't because she is a human. When I reminded her Charlie is human she says Charlie has an idea of our true nature but Renee has no clue.
She says she wouldn't take it well if she learned the truth. It makes mom sad when she talks about grandma. I can tell she really cares for her. I hope we can still meet one day though. And I will try not to eat her.
Another thing about me and the others is they tend to brood on the negative of things. Me, I like to see things on a brighter note. We may be in danger but we got to meet lots of new people!
They were all so different. Some has skin like Leah, others had skin or darker and some were as white as us. But they talked different and dressed different. They were an explosion of new and unusual. It gave us a small sample of what the world held for us to see one day.
Nessie was really taken with a woman called Zafrina. She and her friend were from a place called South America. They were tall and they wore animal skins. Mom seems intimidated by them, I could see why. The red eyes seemed a little more feral then those of a yellow hue, but these women were much more obviously animal like.
Zafrina has a wonderful gift. Like Nessie and I she can show you images. But she doesn't need to touch you. She can't speak with her mind but the images are so real. She calls them illusions, she makes the mind see, smell, hear and feel how ever she wants.
She showed us her home and it was so cool, I couldn't wait to go there one day. The rain forest was so much more lively and vibrant, so much life there!
Nessie would show mom what we saw since Zafrina's power couldn't affect mom's mind.
I wish I could share my thoughts with her.
Mom has been training. Both physically and mentally. She tried to get dad to help train her to fight, but dad couldn't do it, even if it was practice. So Uncle Emmett did instead. He seemed to enjoy it; his pride was still wounded from when she bested him at arm wrestling.
I wanted to train too, but no one would let me or Nessie. It really sucked. We wanted to help but no one would let us.
Mom also had been training to make her power shield like the others. Aunt Kate has been helping. She acted like she was going to zap us and mom's power actually covered Nessie and myself.
The strange thing is when mom's shield expanded...I felt it. I could fell it move from her and cover us like a second skin. I could also...feel mom. I could feel her, like a light inside my head, I knew from the look she gave me she could feel me too. Uncle Eleazar thinks it might have something to do with us having the same ability because Nessie didn't sense anything.
I admit a small part of me liked that. I was a tad jealous how she could share her power with mom. It was small I know, but it was something for just her and me to share and no one else.
We tested this thing and soon we learned not only could I fell her shield as it grew...I could see it. It was almost invisible; it had the slightest of shimmers, like hot air. I noticed that when dad was on the outside the shimmer became more noticeable. The further he was the less there was a shimmer. But when he was inside there was no shimmer. That was how we found out anyone inside mom's shield could use their gifts on people who were outside it.
I was proud of mom, she was doing great. I am sure she will show these Volturi guys a thing or two because she is my mom and she is awesome!
The only problem now was Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper. We have not seen them in a long time. No one said where they went; they got these sad looks on their faces. I hope they are okay.
Leah
Just as Billy predicted more kids had phased, and they were a few years younger then Collin and Brady.
The Cullen's friends kept their promise so far and fed far from La Push or Forks, but it didn't help our moods. Jake and the rest of us were loathed to work with nomads, but they didn't bother us, in fact they treated us like a friend's pet you didn't care for, so you just ignore it.
And they were our best shot at stopping the Volturi. So far we have had seven new wolves phase and Sam is keeping his promise. He keeps them at home studying and trying to lead a normal life, the only time he has them phase is to train them how to fight.
The poor kids were either happy or sad to be werewolves and protectors. But soon turned fearful when they learned they were going to fight a coven of evil vampires.
But they understood that once they were done with the Cullens we would be next on their list. Wanting to protect their tribe and kin they put their fear aside and trained.
I had met them myself. Sam introduced both pack to the pups as we like to call them. They were so young; you could tell even when they were in wolf form because their paws were bigger then adults.
They had a tough time trying to not phase. I thought Paul and I had tempers, but these kids were already temperamental. The rage of the wolf didn't help change that all.
Sam had his hands full. Between trying to help teach them control and trying to teach them to fight it was a wonder he was able to make any progress with them.
I was helping. I was teaching them the yoga I have been learning. Since I imprinted I have dedicated myself to controlling my anger so I wouldn't phase. I didn't want to do to EJ what Sam did to Emily. I have been trying to teach the kids what I know but being kids they have short attention spans.
It has been difficult. I have been helping train the pups and trying to make time with EJ. During Bella's training we learned he could sense and see Bella's shield.
EJ was happy. He and Nessie wanted to help, but they were too young to do anything. I knew he was upset he couldn't communicate with Bella with his power, so I was happy he could share something special with her Nessie could not.
The days were soon spent and before I knew it we were at Charlie's celebrating the holidays.
I held EJ in my arms as we watched TV. Mom was here. She and Charlie have been spending a lot more time with one another. I haven't talked to mom about it, I had my suspicions that there relationship was turning more romantic then I would have liked.
I mean dad hasn't even been dead a year and she is moving on with his best friend. I decided to worry less about mom and Charlie and more about the Volturi situation. If we survive I will deal with it then.
Billy came to the party as well; I noticed things seemed different between him and Charlie. I wondered if it had something to do with Charlie and mom's growing relationship or the fact Billy knew all about us wolves for all these years and never told Charlie.
There was a knock on the door; I knew who it must be.
"Is it them?" EJ asked.
"Yes," I said.
Charlie welcomed Sam and Emily into his house. This would be the first time Sam and Emily would meet Nessie and EJ. Bella and Edward stood behind me and Jacob as we held the twins. Nessie and EJ held hands and I knew from the way they looked at one another they were communicating with one another.
They did not know about Sam trying to kill them before they were born, we decided a long time from now we would tell them...if it even needed to be brought up.
Edward was tense. He was not happy Sam was near his kids, can't say I blame him.
Emily immediately walked up to us and shook Nessie and EJ's hands. "Oh my God, they are so beautiful," she said.
"Hello pretty lady," EJ said.
Emily looked at EJ amazed then to Nessie.
"Nessie just showed her point of view of her, she thinks she is pretty," Edward said, answering the question of what she showed her.
"Oh Sam, they are amazing," Emily said.
Sam stepped up; he looked at the twins amazed. I saw he was amazed by their beauty. There is something about the beauty of a child that can touch all hearts, but when that beauty is magnified by vampire venom it becomes like a ray of Heaven.
I wasn't saying this because EJ was my imprint; I thought Nessie was amazingly beautiful, even compared to Rose. After all, what is more beautiful then innocence?
"Hello Sam, I am EJ and this is my sister Renessmee. Most people call her Nessie but mom hates it," EJ said.
"It's like when we speak when we are wolves," Sam said amazed.
The rest of the night was well spent. First we ate. No one said anything about Edward and Bella not eating. After that we all made our way into the living room, while the men watched TV us women talked. Emily enjoyed seeing the images Nessie and EJ showed her. They showed her all sorts of things, including the images of the new vampires and playing with Jake and me.
"It's amazing to think you vampires can see the world like this," Emily whispered to Bella, so Charlie would not hear.
"Yes, it is really amazing. I am still trying to get used to it all," Bella said.
"Mom has been training a lot too. I can see her shield you know," EJ said proudly.
Emily smiled warmly at him. As the night wore on Nessie and EJ were sent to bed. They slept in Bella's old room. Bella and I went to take them to sleep. Edward and Jacob offered to help her tuck them away but Bella asked me to do it, said it was the men's time to watch the TV.
I had never been in Bella's room. It had not changed since she had been married. I could tell because it still looked like Bella should still be living here.
We tucked the twins in Bella's bed. They held hands as they slept. Bella and I sat down; Bella looked around the room, like she was trying to remember something.
"Is it a good idea to let them sleep? I mean what if EJ projects his dreams into Charlie's head?" I asked.
"Don't worry, I have my shield up," she said.
There was a quiet silence. I didn't have anything to say to her, I was never her fan when she was human, but since she was EJ's mom I had learned to tolerate her more. I didn't mind her so much now. Before I had just been pissed at her for hurting Jake. But now I had no reason to dislike her, after all, she did give me EJ.
"Leah, we must talk," Bella said.
"What about?"
"Well...Alice left me a clue. It led me to this lawyer who is involved in shady dealings. Jasper has been using him to get the Cullen's falsified documents and fake ID's for years...I got some paper work for my children, you and Jake."
"What?" I asked, trying to keep my voice down.
"Leah, Alice left this clue because she knew there is a high chance we will die. I think she gave me this clue to help protect the twins."
"Does Edward know?"
"No, he doesn't," she said.
"Why keep this from him?" I asked.
"Aro can read minds. If I tell Edward then Aro will know. Leah, I know you and I were never close, but you and Jake are the only one's I can trust with protecting my children. Should things go sour I want you and Jake to take the twins and run. I have already gotten the files ready."
"Bella...I can't run from a fight. Seth...my friends...my family."
Bella took my hand. I flinched at how cold her hand was.
"Leah, I can trust no one but you and Jake to look after my children. I promise I will do everything in my power to take out as many of them as I can. But I am still far from capable from taking on most of the guard."
She looked at her children who slept soundly.
"The idea of watching them die is too much to bare. I hate to ask this of you Leah, but I need you to promise to take them with Jake and hide them." She rubbed her face, as if she was rubbing away an invisible tear. "It's the least I can do for you and Jake for all the pain I brought you both. A safe, happy life with your imprints."
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"Because Jake might try and stay. He might send you away to take the twins. But I need you to convince him to run. Jake is my friend, my best friend. I can't watch him die, he has sacrificed so much for me already, this is the last thing I can give to him for everything he has done for me," she said.
"You really don't think we stand a chance?" I asked.
She shrugged. "Just a precaution. Should we survive I will seek you all out."
I sighed. The idea of running from a fight when my brothers were dying left a sour taste in my mouth. But looking at those precious little babies and thinking of the Volturi killing them was even worse.
"Alright, I will do it. I can guilt trip Jake into running with me," I said.
She was right, knowing Jake he would send me with the twins to run while he staid behind to fight. I would have to do my best to keep these thoughts from him. It would be easy; all I would have to do was think of EJ.
EJ P.O.V
Nessie and I pretended to be asleep.
We listened to mom and Leah's conversation.
We had not fully comprehended until now how serious the situation was. Was defeat so certain? Were we only living on borrowed time with our family? Were all the nice people we met going to die because of us?
Mom had followed Aunt Alice's clue, Aunt Alice was smart, was she so sure we were going to lose? Is that why her and Uncle Jasper left?
I wish I was big, I wish I could help protect my friends and family. I know Nessie feels the same way, we both feel the frustration of being powerless.
Leah P.O.V
I was at home getting ready for bed.
I had told no one about Bella's plane, it was smart and I am sure it will work if it comes down to it, but I still don't like it.
If it wasn't for the fact I would be protecting EJ I would stay and fight. How was I going to leave Seth behind? How was I going to leave behind everyone else? Some beta I was. Plus I was supposed to convince Jake to run too if he tried to stay.
My cell rang and I answered it when I saw it was the Cullen's number.
"Hello?"
I could hear someone breathing but no one said anything.
"Hello?"
"Leah?"
I almost dropped the phone in shock. I knew that mental voice from anywhere. But how could I be hearing him? Unless...
"EJ?" I said to the phone.
"You can hear me?" he said.
"EJ, how are you doing this?" I asked amazed.
"I have been practicing. Dad told me he could hear minds he was more familiar with from farther away. I wanted to see how far I could talk to you. It might come in handy don't you think?"
"Shouldn't you be in bed?" I said with a hint of chastising.
"I know...but I have to do something Leah. Everyone else is training. Mom, Benjamin, I have to do something to feel useful."
"You don't have to feel useful EJ, just let us handle things," I said.
"But I want to help Leah. So does Nessie, we know we are still new and everything. But we want to help too. I was thinking, what if I scared the Volturi away."
The comment was so unexpected and ridiculous I laughed. "What?"
"Yeah, if I can project my voice in their heads I can make them think I am a ghost and scare them away. Then no one has to get hurt and they will be too scared to come back again, doesn't it sound like a good idea? Nessie doesn't think it will work but I think it might."
I sighed. "EJ, these are vampires who have been around for thousands of years, they know there is no such things as ghosts."
The idea was laughable, but hearing him say it, it was just so cute.
"But if Zafrina makes fake ghost and I make the scary voices."
"It is a good idea but it just won't work. There might not be a fight though, so don't worry," I said.
"We heard you and mom talking Leah, we know all about the fake documents."
"What?"
"Did you really think we were sleeping?"
"Didn't we have a talk about eavesdropping?" I asked.
"Leah, I am scared. What if there is a fight? What if everyone dies? What if we have to hide forever?"
I was instantly in protect mode.
"Don't think like that. The documents are just a precaution," I said.
"Leah, Nessie and I are sorry we brought this on you. If it wasn't for us-"
"Don't talk like that," I said firmly. "This isn't your fault or hers. These Volturi jerks have been wanting to pick a fight with your family for a while, Irina just gave them an excuse."
I heard him sniff. "It's just so hard, thinking everyone we met will die. Even the funny looking Romanians."
The funny looking Romanians were Vladimir and Stefan. They showed up hearing about our issue with the Volturi. Their coven had ruled the vampire world until they were defeated by the Volturi. Now they were the only ones left and wanted some pay back.
I didn't like them. They had milky red eyes and looked really creepy. From what Edward told me the leaders Aro, Marcus, and Caius looked worse.
Nessie and EJ loved them; they were nice enough to the twins and answered any question they asked. They didn't seem to mind the questions, the rather seemed to enjoy answering them. But once they made a comment about plucking out the Volturi's eyes Bella started to limit their contact with the twins.
"We hate not being able to help. Everyone tells us we are special, but what is the point of being special if we can't protect anyone?"
"You are what you are EJ, there is nothing wrong with that. You haven't told anyone about the documents have you?"
"No, Nessie and I have already agreed to keep it secret."
"Good. Now I want you to go to bed right now okay, I will see you tomorrow."
"Okay Leah, and please don't tell mom or dad. I am supposed to be sleeping."
"I know, now go to bed."
"Good night Leah, I love you."
"I love you too," I said.
"Night, Night."
"Night."
I hanged up the phone and sighed.
I got up and headed for Seth's room. He was inside watching TV. I knocked on his door before I stepped in. His door was already open but I figured I be polite.
"Hey Leah," he said, giving me a smile that reminded me of dad.
My chest felt tight. I had not thought of dad much. The pain and guilt was still there, but it had been blanketed by the power of my imprint with EJ.
I sat next to him on his bed and he put his arm around my shoulders.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Seth...how have you been?" I asked.
"Same old, why?" he asked curiously.
"I just realized I haven't spoken to you much lately."
"We have been busy," he said.
"Still, I shouldn't ignore you."
He smiled. "You haven't been ignoring me, Leah."
"So...you notice how cozy mom was with Charlie?"
"You saw that too?" he asked.
"Yeah, how does it make you feel?"
He shrugged, but didn't look happy. "I like Charlie, he's like family. But-"
"He's not dad," I said and he nodded.
"I mean it has been a long time since he died. But the idea of mom hooking up with someone bugs the crap out of me."
"I know."
"But I also can't blame her. I mean we have been rather distant with her because of the whole wolf thing and I am sure she needs some attention too. We should talk to her after all this. When this Volturi thing is over we should all just sit down and have a nice family conversation. We shouldn't let ourselves fall apart. Dad would be upset."
"I haven't thought about him much since I imprinted," I said feeling some shame.
"It's okay, I am sure he would rather you be happy then brooding about him," Seth said.
"You're a good kid Seth," I said.
He watched me closely, Seth may be young but he is sharp as a blade. "Leah is everything okay?" he asked.
No Seth, if this thing goes bad Bella has arranged for Jake, me and the twins to flee to safety while you and the others more then likely get slaughtered.
God I wanted to tell him the truth. But I couldn't risk the others finding out, because then the Volturi could find out. Could this be the last time I ever spend with Seth? Could this be the last time we have a brother/sister conversation?
"Seth...I know it hasn't always been easy to be my brother. But I want you to know I do love you. Am very proud of you and I know dad would be too. Standing up to Sam and running off to join Jake took some serious balls. I just want you to know...I love you and I am glad you are in my life."
He hugged me. "Don't worry, things will turn out okay, no mater what happens to us we always bounce back."
I hugged him back; a single tear fell down my face.
I did not have the heart to tell him this may be the final fall for us all.
Fusedtwilight: Will Leah have to run with EJ? Will the battle go bad? Just how similar to his mothers power is his? And how different? Please review.
