I see dead people...

Chapter 05

3rd POV
For the next two weeks the Swans fell into a routine.

Everyday Charlie would drop off Cora and Clara at work and school before heading to the police station. He would pick both girls up and take them home, and about 3-4 nights of the week Leah would visit Clara and talk to her.

Though Clara still responded in riddles, Leah knew that Clara treasured the moments with the her.

As for Bella.... No one really knew what really knew what she was up to. The older Swan sister was gone all day and would come home very late.

Cora was worried that Bella was with a boy (or worse boys) and should be put on birth control. The rest of the Swans elected to ignore her until she outright did something wrong. Charlie and Cora anxiously waited for her to wind up on drugs or pregnant, as that's what her suspicion actions had them believing, but there was no proof that she was doing illegal substances or sexually active.

Meanwhile, Clara continued her mumbling, except that Leah would write down everything she said and try to figure out what her prophetic riddles meant.

She far she knew a few things;

1); The She-wolf was herself.

2); The Alpha was Sam.

3); There was a big fight coming soon.... Closer to a battle or an outright war.

But she couldn't figure out who the Lion was or who the Beast that wore a sheep's fleece was.

Regardless, Leah was finally realizing what had happened to Clara in those woods all those years ago.

Clara had become possessed by a spirit in the woods.

Leah suspected that it was an old Sha-woman who used to live along the outskirts of the tribe but was later burned at the stake as a witch by the colonizers.

But like Charlie and Cora, she had no proof of her suspicions.

Leah was there the night that Bella introduced her 'boyfriend' Edward Cullen, and that's when she discovered who the Lion and beast were.

As Bella made her introductions, Clara uttered out "And so, the Lion fell for the beast hiding within a sheep's fleece..." mortified Bella rushed Edward out, calling her sister a freak as she left.

That's when the pieces fell into place for Leah.

Growing up and hearing the tribe's stories about the Cullens, then knowing Bella's personality.... It all became so clear to Leah.

Later Leah went to Billy Black's house and demanded that he call the elders for a council meeting. There, she explained everything that she had been doing and her beliefs about Clara.

No one believed her at first.... But after being enraged by their doubt, Leah shifted for the first time, right before their eyes.

Living up to Clara's nickname for her, The She-wolf.

It was then that the Pack was made aware of Clara existence, and was put under their protection.

When Leah went to tell her the good news, something amazing happened...
