My pulse quickened as my feet pounded on the damp grass . It was still early which meant I had the forest to myself. Which is just the way I want it. I loved the way the forest sounded in the morning . The birds only just wake up so they are singing and the trees wave in the morning breeze. But most of all its silent . I love the silence , it's the perfect sound to think to .And at the moment I had a lot to think about .
My name is Clair and I just found out that my best friend is a were wolf .
It shouldn't have surprised me I guess . I mean it kind of made sense in a weird way. Hes looked the same since I was a baby . He is so strong and fast and he always disappears with the lamest excuses as to where hes been.
I didn't even mind that much. Its not like in the movies when at every full moon he changes into a strange wolf-man. He can change whenever he wants and its into a complete wolf . A very large wolf. The real reason why I was uppset was because he had mentioned something like imprinting. It happenend to the were wolves and if you imprinted on someone then they were your soul mate, you would love and protect them for the rest of your life . And Quil had just told me that he had imprinted.
When he told me I froze up . I have loved him for so long and it turns out hes already got a fricking soul mate !!!!!!! anyone else in my position would be upset as well . But they wernt . it was just me. And there wasn't even anyone I could talk to about it . All of my friends were boys and friends of Quils as well. So if it did tell them they would end up just telling him anyway . And I didn't want Quil to know how I feel about him . Well I used to . I had it all planed out. We would go to the cliff with all of the guys , the others would all jump off leaving us alone and just before I jump ill tell him how I felt. I was planning to tell him this weekend but im not going to now.
I finally reached my house . I went around the back to my old tire swing. Quil and I had made it when I was around five . It had taken us all day to finnaly tie the tire and rope together and tie it onto a branch. I sat down on it now and started to swing myself . After only a couple of seconds I became lost in thought . Shpuld I run away? My uncle lives in New York and ive always wanted to go there. Suddenly I found myself being pushed higher on the swing . I presumed it was my dad so I didn't bother turning around . "Ive had such a confusing day " I sighed as the swing slowed down . "I know ",he said. But the voice was different . It wasn't my dad .
It was Quil.
