TRANSFORM

Rest

Leila laid down on the bed. She was exhausted too. She rolled on her side and watched Seth as he slept. She felt so bad. After a while Jacob came out of the bathroom and sat on the last bed. He looked at Leila and asked, "You okay?"

Leila looked over at Jacob and nodded. "Yeah. Just worried for Seth."

"He'll be okay. We heal really quickly. So he should be okay tomorrow. Maybe even later tonight. You hungry for any dinner? I can order something. And Seth didn't eat on the plane so he needs to get his strength back. Pizza?"

"Sure." Leila sat up and smiled. "Hopefully he eats it."

"Oh I'll make him." Chuckles. "It will help him so even if he refuses he's got to anyway." Grabs his phone to order some pizza. The reception is really slow so his phone isn't loading. Stands. "I've got to go order it in person. The reception sucks here. Will you be alright with Seth?"

"Yeah of course. Just try be quick." She was afraid to be alone for too long. In case something went wrong. 

"I will." He took one of the key cards and walked out of the room.

Leila looked back at Seth. He rolled over in his sleep and was nearly at the edge of the bed. She got up and pushed him back into the center so he wouldn't fall off. She smiled at him. He was just so adorable. She carefully stroked his hair. She couldn't believe they were real. And they were wolves. Leila hoped she'd be able to see them transform one day. Seth's phone started ringing and she carefully slipped it out of his pocket. Apparently the reception wasn't that bad. Why did Jacob go out then? To leave me and Seth alone? She blushed then looked at the phone. Leah Clearwater. It was Seth's sister. 

She thought about whether she should answer it, then gave up and just accepted the call and held the phone to her ear. "Hey, this is um.. Leila. I mean this is Leila. But you don't know me. Seth's sick so he's asleep and Jacob is out getting pizza so I just answered it. Maybe I shouldn't have. Sorry." She blurted out.

Leah laughed. "It's all good. Seth told me about you."

"He.. what? He knew who I was before he came and got me with Jacob?"

"Yeah hasn't he told you about anything yet?"

"No..." Leila was very confused. "Well Jacob said they'd tell me everything when we got to the hotel. Well were at a hotel now. We got off the first flight but Seth is so sick. So we came to a random hotel and will do the next flight tomorrow."

"Right. Then you'll be able to drive the rest of the way that same day. Convince him to tell you on the next flight. Or wake him up. You've got to know."

"I don't know if I should wake him yet. We're going to eat when Jacob gets back so I guess I'll just ask then. Um.. one question... How many people know who I am?"

"It's just Seth, Jacob and I. Have they told you where you're going?"

"No. I'm dying to know. But they seem to want it to be a surprise. So I haven't been asking."

Leah replied saying, "You'll love it where you're going though. It's amazing." Leila smiled. Trying to imagine where it was going to be. "I've got to go now. Sorry Lei. Can I call you Lei? Hopefully I'll meet you one day."

"I hope so too. Bye Leah." She hung up then put Seth's phone on his bedside table. She smiled to herself.
