Life and Magic

Preface - Claire and Quil

QPOV

Claire Elisabeth Young.

My Claire.

I imprinted on her when she was a little girl. She became the centre of my life. She's my soul mate. I was sixteen and a new werewolf. It happened when I was coming back from patrolling. I was starving and of course I ate to Sam and Emily's house. There was Emily's sister, her husband and their two daughters. One of them was my Claire. When I saw her, I saw lights and stars turning around her. It was amazing. I didn't see anything else but her I didn't feel anything except her. I couldn't move and couldn't stop looking at her. And before I did a single move I felt Claire's little hand in mine. She sort of chose me. Like if she agreed to be my imprint. I grinned at her and she returned my smile and I felt complete. According to the elders, it was not happening often, I mean, imprinting on a so young soul mate. But to be honest, we didn't know much about imprinting. Imprinting was supposed to be rare and four of us had already imprinted on someone. Quileute's old legends were difficult to interpret.

But I was lucky. Claire's parents understood and accepted the fact that I was bound to their little daughter and accepted my presence near Claire. Even if they were sceptical at the beginning they eventually saw how much I needed to be with her and saw at the same time Claire's reactions. She seemed to need me as much as I needed her. She looked for my presence and I was happy to spend time with her. We played games she wanted to play, her wishes were my commands. I was what she wanted me to be, needed me to be and her happiness was my reward. Everything with Claire seemed to be perfect. It didn't bother me to be her babysitter and her protector even when my friends teased me all the time. And as long as I made her happy it was only what it really mattered for me and for her parents. And it was my life. She was my life.

Then I built my days around Claire's essential needs, my duties towards the pack and my work. At the beginning I was in Sam's pack but when Jake, one of my best friends, separated from the pack to follow and protect his imprint, a half human half vampire girl, I followed him several times after and I became a member of Jake's pack with Embry, Seth, and Leah. Jared, Paul, Brady and Colin remained in Sam's pack. We were not enemies of course. We did the same work on different part of the Quileute's territory. We were patrolling at night and we worked by day in the garage Jake, Embry and I owned.

So during all these years I observed Claire growing, becoming the most wonderful young teenager I've ever seen in my life with one single thought in my mind: making her happy.

I thought it worked pretty well. Claire was a 14 year old beautiful girl and she was smiling all the time to anyone. She was a really happy girl. She was a positive girl. She wasn't too tall but a little more compared with the others girls in her class. She was thin, had copper skin, long black hair and beautiful hazel green eyes. She was smart, a little in advance in science's skills and in speaking foreign languages. She was learning French and she spoke fluently Quileute's dialect. She sang all the time, loved listening to music and playing piano. She was perfect to me but all my friends said that I wasn't really objective. No, seriously she was a good kid. She could be a bad-tempered but usually she was good-natured. And she laughed all the time.

I spent all my free time with her watching movies, playing music or just talking about her life, her school's friends, her arguments with her sister etc. She knew all my friends of the pack and their wives or girlfriends, she knew everything about me and my werewolf condition but she didn't know about the imprint and her parents, her uncle Sam, Jake and me agreed to not tell her the truth before she was sixteen years old minimum.

Time was perfect, life was perfect, my Claire was happy so I was happy too and everything was going to last forever.

So it was what I thought….I didn't know how much I was wrong. Hard times were just going to begin.
