Prologue- Quil

"Isn't she adorable?" I smiled while holding the little two year old in my arms. I tickled her pudgy stomach and she squealed and grabbed my hands with her small delicate ones.

"Yes, she's very adorable," Jacob rolled his eyes, "You haven't said that a billion times or anything." We were sitting at Sam's house watching TV. I was taking care of little Claire while her Aunt Emily was at the store. If her parents knew that, they might not be very happy about it.

"How do you think her parents would feel if they knew a sixteen year old was obsessed with their daughter?" Jacob asked and my stomach dropped. That has been all I have been thinking about for the past two weeks that I have known Claire. Her parents wouldn't understand at all. Claire is my world, my only thoughts and not even in the creepy way. I feel like her big brother, her protector. I promised myself that no harm would come to Claire; I would die before that happened.

Everything about her was perfect. Her tiny lips were pink and pouty and she had giant royal blue eyes. But the cool thing about her eyes, in the middle of all the royal blue, was a circle of dark brown around her pupil. She had long lashes and a head of dark brown curly hair. Unlike most of the Makah around here, she was a light olive color because of her father. She had a button nose and a smile that could make the coldest of people warm. She loved everything about the world. She's the little girl that would wear dresses and play in the mud. In fact, that was her absolute favorite thing to do.

Emily is Claire's aunt. I first saw Claire whenever she came to visit Emily with her mother Erica and her older brother Frankie. Now Emily always has Claire over. Claire's mother thinks it's because Emily wants to spend a lot of time with Claire, which is partially true, but she also wants me and Claire to spend time together so I don't drive the pack nuts worrying about her.

It was 3:45 and I heard Emily's car pull up. I looked at Jacob sadly knowing that I only had about an hour left with Claire. Emily and the rest of the pack burst into the house with a loud chatter and I stood up holding Claire tightly. Sam, Emily, Leah, Seth, Brady, Embry, Jared, and Paul all had a stern look on their face as they were arguing about something.

"It's not right, why don't you tell her parents that she can stay with you guys?!" Embry argued.

"Because she needs to grow up with her family, not like this," Sam said, "If her family wants to move, then she must move with them."

"Who's moving?" I asked confused and they all looked at me shocked. My guess is that Renesmee's moving since the Cullens have been talking about moving to Alaska, but I thought they were going to stay since Jacob imprinted on her. Sam looked at me with the saddest expression and my stomach dropped, no it can't be.

"Claire is," He said, "Her parents are moving to Nashville, Tennessee tomorrow and today is the last time you will see her."

Time stopped for me. I looked around and saw how sad the pack looked. I could hardly imagine how my expression is right now. My heart feels like it's shattering into a million pieces. She's moving?! I can't move with her, I have to finish school and stay with the pack.

"Why?" was all I could manage to choke out before I sat on the couch hugging Claire while holding back tears. She was my everything, she can't be moving.

"Her parents have been planning this for around a month now, Emily just now told me," Sam admitted. I looked at Emily and her face was covered with guilt.

"Quil," she began, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but honestly I didn't think you would imprint on her. Her parents already have a house in Brentwood and Claire is their world. We can't separate her from her parents."

"But she's my world," I protested, no longer holding back the tears, "She's my imprint, I can't live without her!"

"You will see her when they come to visit," Emily said, "You'll just have to be patient."

"Who's going to protect her? There are so many dangers out there." I handed Claire to Emily and I was now pacing around the room. I was sick to my stomach and I couldn't think clearly. This wasn't part of the plan. This wasn't supposed to happen.

"Alice is doing us a kind favor and she will be watching Claire for us, but as long as she doesn't know, she won't have anything to fear except for what a normal child fears. This will be good for her. Maybe she doesn't need to grow up being terrified that one day she could be attacked by a vampire or you could be killed by one. Just think positive about this. This will be good for Claire."

"I'm still going to protect her," I said sternly, "I have to protect her."

The next day I said my goodbyes to Claire and she looked so sad. She could say some words but for the first time she said a complete sentence, "I wuv you Qwuil, my Qwuil."

My heart shattered even more than it already had as I watched Emily drive away with her for the last time.

I didn't know that Claire's parents weren't planning on coming back, that Emily and Sam were going to go visit them. If I had, then maybe things would turn out differently. I did know one thing. I would always be there to make sure nothing would happen to her.

I would be her protector.

Alright so the first chapter should be up shortly! Please review and let me know what you think! Quil won't be around for a while because this is going to be focused on Claire but he will come back! I promise!
