Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing, thanks to everyone who reviewed. But none of you saw this coming.

Nahuel P.O.V
I watched as Leah ran off.
She was truly a rare creature. Not just because she was the only female of her kind, she was a rare kind of women. I know she had lost much. I know she had a great love that ended in tragedy and sorrow. I have lived a hundred a fifty years. I have carried with me great pain in those years I know pain when I see it.
But instead of being destroyed by it like most would be she came out of it, stronger than metal.
I sniffed my clothes and grinned. Her smell was all over me. I have had many women in my life; Leah Clearwater was definitely one I would remember for a long time to come.
I ran to the nearest stream I could find. I washed my clothes and myself. Sex can be messy. Good sex is extra messy and we had very good sex. I knew it would be pointless to hide our love making from the Cullens. They would smell the scent of our sex on me when I returned and Edward was sure to find out.
But I respected her desire for privacy and I would do my best to keep it a secret.
Washing in the stream reminded me of that day at the creek. It had been a wonderful day, with my new friends the Cullens and the Denali coven along with my little brother had gone to a creek on a nice sunny day and swam. Esme had brought plenty of food for us hybrids and the wolves.
It had been hard being around the female vampires. Like I told Leah we hybrids were better looking than humans but full blooded vampires were even better looking. Well depending on how good looking they were as humans. The venom could only do so much to make you good looking if you were truly repressive looking as a human.
Seeing all those beautiful vampire women in their bathing suits made my blood hot. But I had to control my thoughts and emotions, least the males tear me limb from limb. Only Leah and Tanya I was free to ogle to my heart’s content. Leah may not have the inhuman beauty of a vampire but she was still breathtaking. I can not believe she thinks herself ugly or too manish.
After I washed myself and my clothes I ran to the Cullen's, eager to return to Matthew's side. By the time I had got back the wind had mostly dried my clothes, but I could still faintly smell her on my body. Unless one of the Cullens got real close to me they would not smell her on me either.
I trust Edward being the polite and dignified man he is will not say anything he hears from me.
I made my way into the basement and found Carlisle down checking some of the machines on Matthew. “Is he okay?”
“Fine, just checking his vitals. I am no expert on hybrids but from what I have researched on Nessie he seems to be stable.”
“I am glad. I can never thank you or your family enough for what you have done for me Carlisle. First you helped make me see I am not a monster, now you bring me a brother I never thought I would have.”
He smiled at me. “You owe us nothing Nahuel. It was sheer luck we found Matthew. I shudder to think what would have happened had he caught Aro's attention.”
I remembered Aro. I remembered him and his coven. How they eagerly wished to fight the Cullens and their gathered forces, how despite their dignified and well dressed appearance their eyes betrayed the animalistic nature of a vampire. I remember being told what some of those vampires could do, the thought of Aro using Matthew to make his coven made me ill. As long as I live I will make sure that never happens. No one will ever use Matthew in such a way.
Suddenly the machines began to make more of their beeping sounds. The little colored lines on the monitors began to squiggle more and Matthew's eyes began to move rapidly behind his eyes.
“What is wrong?” I asked.
“I believe he is dreaming,” Carlisle said rechecking the machines. “Whatever it is the machines are detecting too much beta waves. I think he is having a nightmare.”
“Of what?”
“I don't know.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew's dream
We ran.
The sounds of fighting was far behind us. A loud explosion made us stop and turn. A giant pillar of flame shot from the ground.
Rosemary grabbed my hand and we kept on running. Seraphina was in the battle now, she would even things out. But these vampires were more than any nomad. They had great power and were obviously skilled at fighting. My poor siblings fell before them like wheat to the farmer sickle.
“We have to go back!” I told her. She did not reply. “Father needs us!”
“Father sent us away,” she said.
“But they will die if we don't go back!”
“Father knows what he is doing!”
“But I can help I can make them go away!”
We stopped and she turned to me. “Matthew listen, that is not just any coven that is the Volturi, the oldest and most powerful coven in the world. They have powers Matthew and they are experts on killing vampires. If their master learns of you're existence he will not stop until you are his or dead.”
I looked back to where the fighting was taking place. Pain, fear, pleasure, excitement, thrill, all came from where the fight was happening. It was a battle, a battle I was sure we were losing.
Rosemary put her hand on my shoulder. “Matthew do you trust me?”
“Yes, you are my sister.”
“Than trust me now, father planned for this for years. He knew Aro might one day come for him, so we made plans. We must go into hiding Matthew to do that I must-”
The dream began to fade and lose focus than. The world began to dim and burn. The fire was coming back eating at the dream, keeping me from the truth. I did not try and push forward I dare not. All I could do was pull myself out of the world of dream and back to the world of waking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew P.O.V
Me wake up now. People surrounding Matthew. Curiosity, worry, compassion. They swirled around me's. Me see Nahuel, Car-Car, Ed-Ed, El-El, Es-Es, but no Leah. Where Leah? Why is he not being here. Me want Leah here.
“Matthew are you okay?” Car-Car asked.
“Me feeling better, head not hurting,” me is saying.
Me still looking for Leah, me not seeing her, but me smelling her distantly. She left not too long ago. Funny, her scent on Nahuel. Maybe because they sleep close to Matthew?
“Leah is home Matthew. You have been asleep for some time.”
“How longs?”
“Well you fell unconscious at two P.M yesterday and it is eight-fifty now so almost nineteen hours,” Car-Car said.
Me not good with numbers. Me not sure how long that is being. Head not hurting, me sit up and Car-Car puts hand on chest to make me not move to quick. “Easy, you just got up from a long nap.”
“Are you feeling okay sweetie?” Es-Es asked.
“Can we get you anything?” Car-Car asked.
“Me want Leah,” me is saying.
“It is rather early sweetie, we should wait to give her time to rest,” Es-Es said.
“Okays, me waits.”
“Matthew, do you remember what you dreamed?” Nahuel asked.
“Dreamed?”
“When you were asleep, did you see anything? Anything you do not recall happening recently?” Ed-Ed asked.
Me thinks of the thing me just think off before me wake up. “He remembered something. He was running through a dense forest. There was fight going on, the Volturi invaded their home. He was being led away from the fight by his sister Rosemary.”
“The Volturi!” El-El gasped.
“Are you sure?” Car-Car asked.
Worry increase and slight tinge of fear creeps into colors.
“Rosemary? Are you sure?” Nahuel asked.
“Yes. She is your sister correct?” Edward asked.
“Yes. She was one of the four I met when I met father all those years ago,” big brother is saying.
“We rans,” I say. “The bad vampires come, they bite, they claw, they scratch. Daddy send us away.”
“You remember?” big brother ask.
“No...I dream it, I remember it.”
“Not all of it though. Rosemary had a plan, a plan your father made in case the Volturi ever showed,” Ed-Ed said to big brother Nahuel.
“What was the plan?”
Ed-Ed shrugged. “That was all he remembered.”
“So if the Volturi showed up how did he survive?” Car-Car asked.
“That is a good question. Also what happened to Rosemary? Where did she go? Why did she leave Matthew alone and what happened to his memory?” Car-Car asked.
Me just realize Carlisle and Carmen have same first three names. Me need to think new name for them...Carmen be Car-Car, Carlisle be Carl-Carl. That not being so confusing me is thinking.
“Rosemary was very loyal to Joham. I do not think she would have just abandoned Matthew, especially if father ordered her to look after him. She would have given her life to keep him safe,” big brother Nahuel said.
“So the question remains, what happened?” Carl-Carl asked.
“Maybe your idea could shed some light on the situation,” El-El said.
“If he increased my power I could try and have a look around and see what he has forgotten,” Edward said.
“I think we should wait, he just had a traumatic experience and I don't want him to go through any mental probing yet. We shall wait a few days.”
“What you talking about?” I ask.
“We will talk more about it later Matthew,” Es-Es say, “Let’s go get you a nice warm bath and then something to eat.”
Me like sounds of that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leah P.O.V
“So you and Nahuel huh?” Jake asked.
“Shhh!” I hissed.
We were out in the woods and the hybrids were playing a dame of hide and seek. We were seeking them, while they hid. I had no idea where they were, they were good at hiding. I did not want them to be close enough to hear us.
It was a few days after Matthew woke up and I had been informed of his little memory jog. So far he had no more memories pop up from his boggled brain. We had not discussed Carlisle's idea. We had gone over it with Matthew but he could not truly understand what we hoped to achieve.
Jake knew about Nahuel, Seth let it slip while he was phased. Jake wasn't pissy about it like Seth had been, but he had his concerns.
“There is not Nahuel in me, we had sex nothing more. Plus we have not done anything since then,” I said.
“Well that explains why you have been in such a better mood,” he laughed.
“Fuck off Black.”
“Seriously Leah, you sleeping with a vampire? I would have figured Seth or Embry, but you?”
“I know I have been very anti-vampire before, it just happened. I was horny, he was horny, emotions were running high.”
“Look at us. A year ago we would have loved to kill them now here we are either imprinting on them or having sex with them,” he said.
“Yeah tell me about it. God if any of the other wolves or my mother found out I would never hear the end of it.” I shuddered at the thought.
Suddenly the voices of arguing children filled the air. We rushed to the voices, they were clearly the kids, but what could they be fighting about. We found them with Nahuel, he stood between Nessie and Matthew who were yelling so quickly at one another they sounded like munchkins on on crack.
“What is going on?” I asked.
Nahuel looked relieved to see us. “They are arguing which of you is the better wolf.”
That stopped us in our tracks. “What?”
Nessie and Matthew turned to us, their faces flushed from anger and yelling. “We be hiding and Nessie say Jake-Jake soon find us because he best wolf but me say Leah be finding us because she best wolf.”
“But I told him Jacob is the best because he is the alpha and he said Leah is the best because she is the only female and she is the quickest because she is quicker than Jake and I said she may be quicker but Jake is stronger,” Nessie said.
“It went downhill from there,” Nahuel.
“Matthew just can't accept Jake is the better wolf,” Nessie said.
“Nessie is being stupid because Leah is clearly a million times better than Jacob.”
They glared at one another, Nessie crossed her arms. “You're just upset because you know Jake is the better wolf.”
Matthew hissed at her and it was an inhuman sound, the sound you hear from a vampire, not a little boy. Nessie crouched low and hissed back. There were times when they were like any normal child, but there were times like now when their vampire nature reared its ugly head and showed itself.
“Enough!” Jake's voice boomed through the woods. We walked up to them and they glanced at us, anger still in their faces.
“You two are friends, you have no reason to be hissing at one another like this,” I said.
“It doesn't matter who is the better wolf, we have nothing to prove and neither do the two of you,” Jake said.
“Me and Jake do not care who is the better because it does not matter to us, so why should it matter to you?”
Their faces calmed down.
“Why fight over something so insignificant?”
They looked at one another, their shoulders slumped in shame. “Me sorry Nessie,” Matthew said.
“I'm sorry too. Leah is a good wolf too. I just like to say Jake is better because I love him so much,” Nessie said. Jake beamed at her.
“Me love Leah much too, me glad she be here for Matthew.”
My face fell when he said he loved me. I was taken aback. Love? What does a mad hybrid know of love? I should correct him, I should say something snide, or do something to hurt his feelings. But I do nothing, I just look into his smiling face, unsure what to say or feel. Only the warm glow in my heart telling me on some level....I loved him too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eight days later, one month after he showed up in all of our lives Matthew had decided he wanted answers.
It was night time and we all squeezed into the living room, the curtains drawn, the lights dimmed. Everyone was here, Cullen's, Denali coven, me, Jake, Seth. Hell even Embry and Quil were here, they wanted to know about the little punk as well.
He was an enigma after all. How did he survive the Volturi attack? Where did his sister go? What caused him to...lose his grip on reality and talk like Gollum from Lord of the rings?
We were about to find out hopefully.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” I asked him
I held his hand as he laid down on the couch. He smiled at me. “Me sure Leah, me want to know what happened to daddy and others, me want to know past and know where me come from.”
I gripped his hand tight. “Okay, but if you feel funny or scared do not hesitate to stop us okay?”
“Silly Leah, you be here, why me be scared?”
I smiled and leaned down and kissed his head. He looked surprised, than his face softened and his eyes glistened with unshed tears.
I stepped back and let Carlisle do his thing. He kneeled down next to Matthew. “Now Matthew, before we start I want you to make Edwards power just a little stronger, okay?”
“Okay.”
He looked over at Edward, like he was seeing something we could not. Edward shuddered bad, like someone stepped over his grave. “I'm okay, just a little too quick for me.”
“Me sorry Edward,” Matthew said.
“It is okay Matthew,” Edward said.
“Alright, Jasper if you would,” Carlisle said.
Jasper focused on Matthew and his eyes began to drop. Edward stepped closer to Matthew and kneeled right behind his head. The plan was for Jasper to use his power to make Matthew more susceptible to the hypnosis
“Now, close your eyes, but I want you to stay awake. Listen to the sound of my voice, it is you're guide, it will lead you. When I count to three you will be asleep, but you will sill hear me. One...two...three.”
Matthew shut his eyes and went still. Carlisle looked to Edward who nodded. “I am trying to read him, I sense something beyond the pain but it is keeping me back.”
Carlisle turned back to Matthew. “Now Matthew, can you hear me?” he asked his voice sweet, soothing and relaxing.
“Yes,” Matthew said his voice was slack, very monotone like.
“Good. Do you know where you are?”
“Yes, me is being here.”
“Good. Now I want you to try and remember the day you and you're family were attacked by the Volturi. What happened?”
Matthew made a face, his eye lids flickered. “We be doing what we usually do, playing, hunting. Daddy was in his study talking to someone.”
“Who?”
“Me not know. Some vampires from far away, daddy talking to them about making the world a better place.”
“A better place? For who?”
“Everyone. Daddy say he plans to make world better for humans and vampires.”
“Do you know what they talked about?”
“No, me not allowed in meeting. Me be playing with sisters. Then sisters come from patrol, say vampires are coming, vampires in black cloaks. Daddy get very afraid, he tell us to prepare for fight. He has some stay behind while rest make a getaway.”
What? He had some of his kids stay behind to be slaughtered so he could save his own ass? Son of a bitch. I looked over at Nahuel and saw he did not look happy at all. Anger was clearly in his eyes.
“Then what happened?”
“Some of us run with daddy, others stay behind. Seraphina comes with daddy, she is his favorite. We hear screaming in the distance, they be dying my sisters. They catch up to us the Volturi do, it big fight. Daddy tell Rosemary and me to be running, he tell Rosemary to protect me, that if need be initiate the plan.”
“What plan?”
“Me not know.”
“Okay so you and Rosemary ran. What happened?”
“As we ran I tried to go back, me wanted to help fight. But Rosemary said no. She told me to trust her.”
“What is going on? “Edward asked sounding confused.
“What is it?” Nahuel asked.
“I am slowly getting through the fog. The pain I mean, but there are....holes and gaps. Images that contradict one another. It's like his memory is a puzzle set with pieces missing but also had pieces that don't fit right.”
“Keep going son. Matthew, what happened next?”
“Me tell Rosemary me trust her. She say we must go into hiding, daddy knew Volturi come one day so he plan hiding places, he plan new lives for us, for me she say. She say me to important to allow fall to Volturi, she say I must forget to live.”
“Forget?”
“Her name is Rosemary, her power is symbolic, just as Seraphina is the burning one Rosemary is the being the forgetting one. She erases memories.”
“Of course, it all makes sense!” Edward said.
“She say she will look after me, she say she erase memories and we go in hiding and wait for daddy to come to us. She say it make it easier to hide me that way, to give me new memories to help me blend in better with humans. Me agree, me not happy but me want help daddy. She put hands on head, she get ready to do it...but then...thens me's see's her.”
“Who?”
“The little girl in the black cloak with the brown hair and the evil smile.”
“Jane!” we all said.
“Me try to shout at Rosemary to warn her but then Rosemary start screaming and grip head so tight it hurt, than me lash out with power.”
Matthew began to shake and convulse.
“Matthew what is wrong?”
“The pain! The fire! It burns, it burns us. We wants to die, it hurts so bad!”
Edward began to scream as well, he fell to the ground writhing, Bella ran to him, as did Emmett and Esme. Jasper was on his knees, Alice by his side as was Tanya and Garrett.
“Make it stop! Make it stop! Kill us! Kills me, make it stop!”
He began to thrash around on the couch, he punched little holes in the couch, Nessie began to cry and Carmen grabbed her and took her out of the room. Carlisle Gripped his hands and Eleazar got his legs. “Matthew, wake up now, it is just a memory, just a dream!”
Matthew continued to scream, begging for death. I ran over and gripped his face in my hands. “Matthew! Matthew it's me Leah, calm down, everything will be okay!”
I admit I should have known better. Matthew was screaming like a wild animal. He was too far gone now. I should have remembered he was venomous. I should have reacted quicker. His mouth latched onto my wrist, I cried in pain as his teeth dug into my arm.
His eyes flew open, wild, deadly, but when they looked into my eyes, there was an instant switch. He let go of my arm, blood dribbled his chin. “Leah? He asked confused.
“Leah!” I heard my pack scream.
It seemed like all the noise in the room slowly muted, it seemed like I had one of those 'oh shit!' moments. Time slowed down I stared at my bleeding arm which was now starting to burn like a mother fucker.
I did the only thing I could.....I screamed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up, staring at a white ceiling.
I heard the beeping sound of machines. Was I in a hospital?
A face appeared above mine. Seth. He looked horrible. Like he had not slept well at all.
“Seth?”
“Leah? Oh thank God.” Tears began to fall from his face, falling onto mine.
“Where am I?”
“The Cullen's. You have been out for three days.”
“What? What...oh God, he bit me!”
“Yeah he did,” he said. The look on his face told me nothing good. There was knowledge in his eyes that told me he had more bad news.
“How? How did I survive?”
Vampire venom was poison to us. I should be dead.
“Nahuel saved you, when he saw what Matthew did he instantly rushed over and sucked the venom out of your arm.”
“Nahuel?”
“Yes. See when Matthew bit you we freaked. We phased all of us. Edward was being tended to by Bella, he got too deep in his head, he felt what Matthew felt. Jasper was feeling the pain too, it over whelmed him, he could not focus to make things calm. Kate freaked out and tasered Quil and Embry attacked her and Garrett got involved. You should see upstairs, it is still a wreck.”
I slowly took it all in. A whole bunch of tubes and wires were connected to my arm, the one bitten by Matthew.
Seth continued. “Jake was trying to calm us down and get to you, but half the vampires were either trying to fight us or tend to you three. Luckily Nahuel got past us and got to you, good thing too, if we had waited longer the venom would have spread too far and killed you, he saved your life.”
I sat up a little and Seth helped me. I looked at my arm, I had a nasty bite mark on my arm, the scar tissue had whitened, making it stick out like a sore thumb against my skin. I was going to have to wear something to cover it from now on unless I wanted people to stare.
“Three days?” I asked.
“Yeah, when he bit you, you started to convulse. It was horrible, you're eyes rolled in the back of your head, you started to foam at the mouth.” he shuddered.
“What has happened since then?” I asked.
“Well Sam and the others found out.”
“Shit,” I said softly.
“Yeah, you woke up just in time. There is a bit of a Mexican standoff going on upstairs.”
“What?”
“When Sam found out what happened he flipped. I have never seen him so angry, I thought for sure he was going to order his pack to attack the Cullens. They are all upstairs right now.”
“They?” my head was still a little foggy, my mind was slowly processing everything.
“Both packs, the elders. Mom has been worried sick. Jake has been doing his best to keep things calm, him and Sam have been thumping their chests at each other these past three days. Sam is trying to butt Jake out of the picture, saying he should be on their side defending his beta and that he is compromised because of his imprint.”
“Dick.”
“Yeah, Sam had been threatening to kill all the Cullens, the Denali's too, save Nessie if you die.”
“When you say he has the whole pack out here you don't mean?”
“The new ones? Yes even them. He brought every wolf he had with him along with the elders. They are going over the treaty and on and on about Matthew and what should be done with him.”
“Where is Matthew?”
“Esme and Carmen are trying to console him. These past three days he has been an absolute wreck, he won't speak to anyone, he won't eat, he won't sleep, just keeps crying.”
I looked at my now scared arm. I had come dangerously close to death, if I died it would have been war, Sam would have done his best to kill the Cullens if he could. No matter what he would have seen retribution for this. As for Matthew I had to see him. Surprisingly I wasn't mad or angry at him. I mean three days of mental anguish seems punishment enough.
“Get these fucking things off me,” I said raising my wire covered arm.
“Leah I don't think that is a good idea, you have been out of it for three days an-”
“Seth we have a major situation going on upstairs, I am Jake's beta and I am the only one who can calm things down. I will rest later right now but we need to get things calmed the fuck down.”
The door opened and mom and Carlisle came through. “Leah!” mom shouted. She ran over to me and hugged me and kissed my head. “Oh my baby, I thought I had lost you.”
“Mom I am okay, a little tired and hungry but I will live.”
“Seth Clearwater what are you doing?” mom hissed at Seth when she saw he had taken some wires off.
“I am getting up mom, I need to go upstairs and get things straightened out.”
“You will do no such thing; you will stay here and rest!”
“Mom I have been out like a light for three days, I have rested enough.”
Carlisle appeared next to Seth. I could see the worry and the stress in his eyes. I knew he had been worried there would be a fight, I could see how relived he was that I was okay. “Leah I think you should wait a while, Edward has already informed the others you are up.”
“Good, than they should expect me to be up there soon.” I tried to get up but mom and Carlisle held me in place.
“Leah you almost died!” mom said angrily.
“Yes and now Sam and his are upstairs raising all sorts of hell, I need to be there to show them I am fine and that this was just an accident.”
“Accident? A vampire bit you Leah! You could have died!”
“And if Nahuel had not sucked the venom out of me I would be dead. A vampire bit me but another saved my life mom, don't forget that.” I looked to Carlisle, my eyes pleading. “Please, after this I swear I will do whatever you say but I have to get up there.”
Carlisle sighed. I could tell his rational thoughts were conflicting with his doctor instincts. But in the end his rational side won out. He gently removed the wires and needles from my arm. I noticed that the needle marks weren't healing as quickly as they should.
Carlisle saw my confused look and answered. “You're body is still trying to heal the bite mark. You had a severe allergic reaction to the venom. A few more days and you're healing factor should have fully healed it and you will be back to your old invincible self. “he smiled. “I should tell you there will be a scar.”
“Good, maybe it will make me look dangerous and keep people from fucking with me,” I said.
They helped me out of bed. My body felt weak. Seth had to help me walk even though Carlisle got me a metal cane to help me walk. We headed upstairs to where everyone was. I could faintly hear the sound of people talking. More like arguing. I could make out the sounds of Jake and Sam. I sighed, let’s see. Keep peace between the pack and the vampires, and then go see Matthew. I needed to have a little talk with him.

Fusedtwilight: See told you, you didn't see that coming, so what will happen next? How will the meeting go? What will Leah have too say too Mathew? Stay tuned.
