Lions, witches, and vampires oh my!

Lion sleep

A/N:

Some timeline stuff...I'm taking liberties with this. I'm changing how old Bella is slightly to suit the needs of the story. She will be 18, and Edwina will have left her in the woods a few months before the end of semester, but she will have had enough credits to graduate due to summer school courses she took in Phoenix. She had just kept going her last year to spend time with Eddie, so she will have enough credits that it won't matter if she goes back or not.

A single stream of light broke through the open window, gently rousing a sleepy, leggy, long haired brunette. The sound of a the mighty Amazon River lulling her in and out of dream land. Praying that she could visit Morpheus once more in slumber.

A pair of the softest voices of angels filled the consciousness of said sleepy brunette.

-aweem away, aweem away, aweem away aweem away

A pair of cheeky angels it would seem...

-in the jungle...

Bella thought to herself, 'they can't possibly be singing what I think they are singing...'

the mighty jungle

'Why did I doubt my initial thought...'

the lion sleeps tonight

Bella grumbled too tired to respond, hoping she could ignore them and go back to sleep nestled against her favorite resting place. She was between her pair of ice cold lovers. Her now constant high temperature welcomed the cold, as she loved being sandwiched exposed skin on skin between the blonde goddesses nightly.

The pair of cheeky, giggling, cheesy angels who, at the moment, as she cracked one eye open noticed they had...what was that they were playing lazily...drum sticks?

She slammed her half closed eye back shut and nuzzled further into her blessedly naked shortest imprint's generous breasts, as she mumbled ' make it stop!'

This of course did not stop the pair as they continued but had noticeably began giggling as they sang on...

-in the jungle the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight

The door/privacy flap suddenly flung open to a grinning Kate belting out

'aweeeeeeee- aheeee, aweeeabummawayyyy!!!!'

'KATE!!!!' Bella screamed throwing a pillow at the trickster

The whole hut erupted in riotous laughter at the retreating Kate.

Bella, the Denali's, and Leah had decided quickly after finding one another they would go one big happy pack/family to see the world and get to know one another, visiting friends the Denali's had made throughout their time on this earth. The shifters, much younger than their imprints were besides themselves at the possibilities to discover lands they thought they would never have the chance to. Leah, who once she began shifting had resigned herself to the fact that she was bound to protect their lands for the rest of her life....thankfully that was no longer her truth...

Once the imprinting of Leah and Bella to the Denali's had happened, Leah felt an odd sensation. She realized after introducing her and Bella's imprint to the pack, that she was no longer tied to Sam and her people. Bella was her new Alpha and Tanya remained the coven leader.
