So many reviews! I'm touched. Really. Kk. Here it is on a silver platter. *virtual platter*

Sams POV

She's amazing. I feel today I should show her me in wolf form but I'm worried she will be scared. That would rip me to shreds. She's seen Jake, but I'm bigger and scarier. I radiate power of an alpha. Perhaps I'll ask Quil...

"Quil...a word?" I call out and he appears.

"Yes, she has, and it's not scary. Do it." He leaves. But Claire is a little girl, a child. She doesn't understand but Bella would she's smart and gets it.

"What for you so worried?" A certain angle asks me. I relax in her presence automatically.

"I'd like to show you something but it's scary." I answer honestly. Lying to her is not an option.

"I be scared, honestly Sam, I hung with Vampires." I growl at the thought of her and...him. She rakes a hand through my hair soothing me with her moth like touch.

"Come." I say and grab her hand. We walk a bit in silence, in a little bubble of just us. She's not hesitant or scared.

"Show me." She demands. I step back.

"I might hurt you." She breaks the space with one step. She's on her tippy toes to look up at me.

"You wouldn't and couldn't." She argues stubbornly. I walk backwards and phase into a wolf. Her expression is of one I'll never forget...
