CHAPTER 1: Unexpected Return...
CLAIRE'S POV:
4 years, 11 months, 38 days, 16 hours, 8 minuets and 22 seconds since I had last seen Quil. I had no idea what had happened to him and I was honestly beginning to believe he was DEAD! He last told me that he'd be gone for a few weeks... He's been gone for 4 years! No one would tell me where he was, I was left to assume he wanted nothing to do with me. A tear spilt done my cheek... We were so close, he was my best friend. I vividly remember the last words he said to me, 'I love you Claire-Bear! I hate to leave you but I have to. It's only for a while I promise, I will be back... Don't doubt it, OK?' He looked like he meant it, he sounded like it to... I'm sure he did at the time. I lay on my bed, thinking about all the times I'd had with him as a little girl. There was always something strange about Quil... We had this 'special connection', we instantly 'clicked'. My phone rang and the caller was unknown,
"Hello?"
"Claire? Claire, is that you?" The voice on the other line sounded familiar, I defiantly had heard it somewhere before.
"Ummmm... Yeah." I couldn't put my finger around the person.
"Claire!" Quil... I knew that voice anywhere!
I quickly ended the call. Who would play such a sick joke? It definitely wasn't him. Why the hell would her suddenly call after years, he didn't even have my number! When Quil left when I was 13, I was crushed, devastated, broken and to find him not coming back just ruined and killed me... He was my best friend, the only one who really knew me, the only one to ever understood me. My phone started to ring again,
"What do you want?" I yelled through the phone.
"Claire listen, before you put the phone down, hear me out, OK?" I decided to give it to him, what harm could it possibly do?
"OK, I'm giving you 20 seconds... GO!"
"Seriously Claire-Bear, 20 seconds?"
I frowned... What made him think he could call me 'Claire-Bear'? I was 18 not 8.
"One, I'm NOT your 'Claire Bear' and Two, you better be quick 'cause your times running out!" I sounded like a real bitch!
"Fine, I'm really, really, really sorry Claire! I didn't mean to leave you for so long. Things happened, I met people and so on... But I'm back and I'm back for good! I'll never leave you again. I want you back in my life and I'm asking for another chance... Please Claire?" He spoke so fast, I wondered if he even took a breath through that.
"5, 4, 3, 2..." I counted down his last few seconds.
"I LOVE YOU CLAIRE!"
"1... You done yet?"
"Don't be so cold. I'm practically begging you Claire! I want to be a part of you Claire, I've never stop thinking of you."
I scoffed, "Really Quil? Do you even know how old I am now?"
"Ummmm... 15?" Well he got that right... NOT!
"Well done Quil, you remembered!" I said sarcastically.
"Really?" He asked.
"NO! I'm 18 you idiot..." I was just about to put the phone down,
"Wait Claire, I know what your about to do, but hold up. Come and met me in 30 minuets please? Let's talk properly, you know, face to face... I want to see you again."
I didn't see the harm in that, "Yeah OK, whatever."
His voice lightened up, "Down at the beach, OK?"
"Yeah, k..."
"Great, see you soon!" He cut the phone off...
"Stupid Jerk!" I thought aloud.
I had a quick shower and decided on a 'mature' outfit to wear. I picked out a light blue tight pair of skinny jeans that hugged my ass perfectly, a white tank top and a sweet pair of flat silver sandles. I then applied some light natural make-up and put my hair into a cute up-do with a few loose strands hanging out. I got ready in no time and I looked pretty cute. I grabbed my purse and jumped into my car. I couldn't deny being slightly excited to see him. I speeded down the drive way, trying not to knock over any of mums flower pots and got a show on the road. Quil must of been excited to, since he was there earlier than me... I took a final look in the mirror and got out my car. I swear I saw Quil's jaw drop as I walked across the beach.
"Well... You just gonna' stand there?" I sounded God damn bitchy again,
"Claire? Fuck you've grown!"
"It's nice to see you to..." He drew me in for a quick awkward hug and kissed my cheek.
"I'm glad you agreed on meeting me today..." He sounded nervous.
"Yeah, Well I ain't got all day so I guess you better start talking!"
We started some simple light talk before he got down to the real deal. His voice changed to a more serious tone,
"Claire, do you still remember those stories me and your Uncle Sam used to tell you?"
I nodded, "The wolf ones?"
"Yeah those... Well, there ummmm, real."
What the frik was this retard on about? He started going on about how the stories were all real and how he was a 'shape-shifter' I just shook my head and laughed at his words.
"Are you done acting like an ass now?"
"Claire! I'm being serious here, You think it's easy for me to tell you this?"
He went on some more about the legends and 'tribal' traditions and all that crap...
"Wow Quil, I didn't know you were such a good story teller... that would make such a good novel!"
"Claire, believe me... Ask your Uncle Sam, I'm no liar."
"DON'T YOU DARE BRING MY UNCLE INTO THIS SHIT!" What was wrong with this cocky bastard?
"Claire, your Uncle's a 'wolf' to... So is your uncle Paul, Jared, Embry, Jacob. Leah and Seth are wolves to." I was beginning to believe this spaz! He then went on about this thing called 'imprinting'...
"Claire, use wolves... We have this way of finding out soul mate, our true love. It's called imprinting. When we imprint on someone, our whole being shifts and they become the center of our worlds. Sam imprinted on your Aunt, That's why their inseparable! Paul imprinted on Rachel, Jared imprinted on Kim and Jacob imprinted on Renesmee. And me... I've imprinted on you!"
"What? When?" Wow...
"When you were 3, I couldn't tell you back then. That's why I've been away for so long. Because I wanted you to live a normal life before I came in and tipped over. I know, it sounds disgusting, pervy... But we can't choose who we imprint on, I've just been lucky to imprint on you."
"I need proof... Prove your really a wolf!" He walked over to the forest and minuets later, out came a chocolate brown wolf. It was huge, Well, huge was more of an understatement... It was MASSIVE!"
"Quil?" I lost all connection with reality at that moment in time. The wolf strolled over and licked my palm. "You can understand me can't you?" He nodded. This was defiantly the beginning of something new!
I'm not sure whether I'll be continuing this story, advice please :)
