"You haven't talked to me in weeks, Claire-Bear, please pick up the phone, please."
'Message deleted.'
"Sorry, dad, Claire-Bears been gone for a long time."
-
It's been years (and I mean years, four more in the very same skin) since I was her, the one that I once called myself but now a days I'm so very different.
(oh-so different, Claire Bennett lost her old skin and the new one that grew was shattered and black)
"Claire-bear-"
The number one target (as many would guess had the name Sylar, along with the nightmare man, the bogyman and but of course son of a bitch) saw the face of a child holding a gun to his head but if he had only looked a little closer he might still be here.
"I was going to let you live, let you be the test subject, let it be your turn but that would be too merciful, plus you'll never get the chance to say those damn words ever again (Claire-bear, Claire bear, the words he's only allowed to say)."
He didn't have the chance to run (not that he ever could, Sylar after all was a nobody when he was powerless) before my finger pulled the trigger like it was just another day at work with not one ounce of regret (who ever said I still had a soul, I surely didn't).
"Finished, Claire?"
"Just cleaning the world of trash."

Before My Soul Was Stolen:
"Daddy."
The tears came extra strong (unlike the dry eyes that I have now) as I let myself fell into the one and only person that can be at anytime of the day or week my own personal teddy-bear because I am after all his Claire-Bear.
"Shh, she wouldn't want you to hurt so much. Everything is going to be fine, Claire, everything is going to turn out okay."
(that by far was the lie that topped all lies)
-
The moment he came into view (one of the few that tried to see the cheerleader in her new badass skin and now they always fail) all my eyes wanted to do was cry something I hadn't done in ages and sadly believe I will never do ever again (along with feel).
(but on that part I was so very wrong)
"Dammit, dad, I shouldn't be doing this, this isn't me anymore."
But instead of being just like the rest of them by letting me suffer because as they say I should suffer for 'what I've become', he took me in his arms just like before and for a moment I was her.
"Claire, don't cry. I know who you are, who you still are and that is my Claire-bear, you just have to see that yourself."
"Are you going to save me, dad?"
"Yes, I'm going to put you back together again because that's what I've done for years. And I'll never stop doing that, Claire-Bear."
