Here is chapter 10: ( a bit of Quil in the chapter, but don't worry there is a lot of Quil comin' up in the upcoming chapters!)
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, In the last chapter it seemed like Quil imprinted on Claire again, well he did and he didn't. He already imprinted on Claire when she was two but Quil is just feeling the strong pull of the imprint after so many long years.
Three men walked in, One was Embry, the other two were just like him they were both muscular and had sleek black cropped hair. one of them had, small round eyes and round muscles and was almost six feet tall. The other one was perfect, he had perfect full lips, big round muscles and big dark brown eyes...with...with an impish grin. Just like the boy in my dream. I stood there amazed, but it was none of the other men that held my attention, it was the man the man with the impish grin that held me to the ground.
Everything inside me came undone as I stared at this tall, muscled man with the scruffy jet black hair and warm impish grin. All the lines that held me to my life were sliced apart in swift cuts, like clipping the strings to a bunch of balloons. Everything that made me who I was, my love for my Brother and my sister - although not entirely . My new formed friendships with Alisa, Embry and Aunt Emily,my home, my name, my self—disconnected from me in that second—snip, snip, snip—and floated up into space. New strings were formed and they were pulling me towards him. I somehow resisted the urge to follow these strings that were pulling me towards him.
But I somehow fought this urge, bottled in this strong desire and made my way to Embry - smiling a huge smile at him and towing Caitlyn along as well.
" hey, Claire bear " Embry picked me up and spun me around as I squealed in delight.
" Claire bear? " I raised my eyebrow and he laughed. I sighed. " well, at least you don't call me Eclair. " He laughed again and set me down quicker than lighting when the wonderful man started growling...wait a minute growling?
" Caitlyn, how's my little girl " He kissed the top of her head and threw her in the air a little, My eyes widened in shock. Embry just laughed and set her down when Caitlyn was laughing in little gasps.
" Claire, this is Jared. " he pointed to the other man and I smiled politely. He was cute too, but he looked old, I also noticed that he was married, spotting the silver band across his finger.
" hey Claire Bear. " he hugged me in a tight bear hug and then pulled Caitlyn into one, kissing the top of her head. I won't be surprised if Caitlyn will get slobber on her head by the end of the day.
" And this is my buddy Quil " Embry shoved me slightly forward, in front of the gorgeous man Quil and I found myself staring into his deep brown eyes. I quickly averted my gaze from his face but ended up staring at his chest. I mumbled a " Hi " at him and smiled politely, my eyes not reaching his face but rather his neck, why the hell was I staring at his neck, what am I, a vampire? Ugh I am so stupid sometimes.
Quil Just grunted, not even directly looking at me but instead at Embry. It hurt to think that he wasn't even glancing at me, I felt a strong pang in my chest. I wonder if he felt it too? I knew that I can never have this man before my eyes, since he's a freaking MAN and I'm barely a woman with boobs and to top it off I never even had a boyfriend so I never actually had experience in that area, and he would probably want an experienced woman, I am just too damn ugly. I sighed irritated at myself and the guys just gave me a look.
" I need to go Embry, It's all too much " Quil shut his eye's, sweat beading his forehead and he was slightly shaking. I felt as If I needed to comfort him but I'm not gonna do that, they'll just laugh at me, plus I don't even know this guy, He'll probably just find it weird that some fourteen - nearly fifteen - year old is trying to help him out. I sighed irritated at myself again.
" Aw come on man, you can't do this. Do you know how many time you waited for this day " Embry raised his hands in the air in an exasperated sigh " Come on man, you can't do this now " He whined again. I just stood there clueless, probably looking like the dork I was. I glanced sideways to see the Jared guy stuffing his face in the fridge and Caitlyn finally talking to her cousins, who seemed to be laughing at what she said. I smiled at that, at least someone's happy.
" I can't do it man, I just...Can't " Quil shut his eyes tight again and I knew it was to hide the tears. I had no clue why he was crying but I honestly couldn't see him like this, I pinched my hand tightly to stop me from reaching out and touching him. " I need some alone time " Quil smiled bitterly and finally opened his eyes, his brown eyes instantly snapped to mine.
He reached out to touch my cheek with his palm but pulled away. He looked up to Embry " See ya man, you know where I'll be just call " Quil opened the front door, looked down at me with his big brown eyes then whispered my name in a way which touched my soul and warmed my heart - It was like he cared about me but that's ridiculous who would care about someone like me?
In an instant he was out the door and me and Embry both stood there staring.
A small cough made us turn around.
Aunt Emily was standing there giving us a " what-have-you-two-been-up-to look ". She was holding bags off food and Josh, Levi and Caitlyn were both surrounding her. Josh was even holding Caitlyn's hand, Aww how cute!
About an hour later, My stuff had been all packed away with the help of aunt Emily and of course Caitlyn's was put away too, We shared a room and it looked quite cute, it seemed like my kind of room.
We ate some burgers that Aunt Emily made and they were great, although Caitlyn only ate about two bites.
They asked about my wolf necklace I was still wearing, I said I got it in the mall and Embry and Aunt Emily gave each other this secret looking knowing look. It was really weird, but I didn't ask about it since I would probably get in trouble for asking silly questions, just like I always have.
I sat down next to Embry with Caitlyn on my lap and Josh and Levi were both sprawled out on the floor, both not talking to little Caitlyn. It seemed that the three of them had a little argument, Caitlyn wanted to play barbie dolls and Levi thought barbie dolls were stupid, well his exact words " only girly girls play with booby dolls " and josh silently agreeing with him, me and Embry both just laughed about it and carried on watching TV, to be exact teen wolf, that was embry's Favorite show for some reason.
The shrill ring of the phone, made me jump almost twenty feet high. Embry just laughed at me, and Levi and Josh didn't even notice they were too busy coloring, with Caitlyn joining them ten minutes before. Embry went to go get it and a few minutes later he said " Uh, Claire it's for you " He smiled down at me handing me the phone.
" Hello? " Wondering if it was mom, If It was maybe I should use my Mexican luchador voice or my British accent - I'd go with the luchador.
" Hey it's Alissa darling " She squealed in excitement, making me hold the phone at least a two feet away from my ear.
" Hey Alissa " I spoke with much less enthusiasm.
" I was just wondering how well your settled in and all " She squealed again. I inwardly groaned, praying she doesn't do it again.
" It's great, I got things unpacked now I'm watching TV "
" Who was that guy who spoke to me before, his voice was just pure sex " She moaned into the phone. I looked up at Embry who was sitting on the other side of the couch with a big smirk on his face, I wondered if it was something on TV or if he heard my conversation the phone, nah it couldn't be he doesn't have super hearing or anything.
" Oh him that's just the guy who found me.. " I spoke casually brushing it off " Embry " I whispered which only made Embry Grin even wider, if that was even physically possible.
" Ooh " She sang " So did you meet any other hot boys " She asked, I'm pretty sure Embry was actually snickering and just pretending to cough.
" No " I huffed. I decided to change the subject. " So Alissa when will you be coming? "
" I'll stop at around six and I'll bring some food " I could actually hear her smile through the phone.
" That's great because Aunt Emily is actually have a small dinner around that time " I smiled, actually smiled and it wasn't one of those fake pretend that-everything-is-fine-so-they-don't-know-the-tru th smiles.
" Oh I can't wait Eclair " She squealed like a pig again. " I'm sorry honey, Carson won't be able to make it, he said he had work tonight " It sounded like she was lying, I really didn't believe her but whatever at least Alissa's coming and maybe Carson might come after work.
" That's okay, maybe he might come some other time " I gritted my teeth to stop the tears, I knew it was a lie. He rarely comes home, he rarely even calls except if I call him so why would he come now.
" See ya honey bunny and say hi to my little caitlyn for me and give her my kisses " She squealed again, God how many times is going to do that?
" Sure will do " I said mocking her voice and hung up.
Embry turned to me, he looked red like he was holding back laughter.
" Who was that? " He finally asked after he calmed down enough.
" Oh just Carson's girlfriend, Alissa " I shrugged.
" Carson who? " He asked.
" He's my older brother " I replied and instantly regretted it as Embry's eyes narrowed on me.
Oops! I said to much! I said to much! I said to much! God, what do I do! I bit my tongue down real hard and my hand curled up so tight, I knew I made a mistake, I should have probably waited for Alissa to show up so she can tell some crappy lie to keep me here, I am such a bad liar.
" Not that we don't want you guys here " He said, crossing his arms around his chest. " But why exactly are you here? Someone called and said you were staying here"
" Uh well...Alissa she will explain...I don't really know that much about why I'm here exactly...and...it's er...hard...to...er...explain " I stuttered nervously looking at everything in sight and not Embry. And to think I actually thought Embry was an okay guy. I knew that Alissa would explain why exactly why I was here perfectly, in fact I bet she is learning her lines right now.
" Okay " He replied not convinced, I could clearly see it on his face. He fucking knew I was lying - Did Embry have to be a stupid lie detector?
Embry got up and joined Aunt Emily in the Kitchen. I suspected they're probably talking about me, so I didn't turn around to find out instead I stayed where I sat, in the living room with the kids trying to sort out they're stupid argument about spider man. Caitlyn just sat there clueless sucking her thumb.
Sam Uley, Aunt Emily's Husband, or I should probably call him uncle Sam but then that sounds like that really old navy guy, so maybe I should just call Him Sam.
Anyway Sam, Came in after a few house, and he was pleasantly happy to see me and Caitlyn. She was a bit frightened and was hugging my leg all throughout our meeting but she warmed up to him when he picked her up and played Airplane with her and the boys.
I have to say, Sam gives one of the biggest bear hugs ever, I declined politely still not comfortable with touch, especially around men.
We all sat down watching a bunch of old movies and we ate nachos. Then me, Embry, Joshua and Levi were all playing charades, while Caitlyn was catching some ZZZ's. I didn't actually join in the games, I felt quite happy just sitting down and watching.
Jared showed up with Kim and she was pregnant, she also bought her little daughter with her named Lorraine who immediately flew to Aunt Emily. I have to say Kim is quite pretty, she has a sorta wide face and really high cheekbones and has really nice straight black hair the kinda beauty of a typical strong native american woman, like Pocahontas. She is quite shy and we only talked a bit, I have to say I'm a little jealous of her.
Seth also showed up and he was cute too but then I found out he was in fact my second-uncle-once-removed. He was practically spinning me around, I felt a little sick after that but we all just laughed it off. Seth wanted to bring his new-found friend Angela too but Sam told him not to yet for some reason.
Leah was nice, she was Seth's older sister so she is my second-aunt-once-removed - when I asked her this she just laughed and hugged me. She mostly stood by her brother and remained silent. She was really beautiful and I found myself feeling jealous of her exotic beauty.
Caitlyn woke up just then and everyone rushed over to meet her, picking her up. Kissing her cheeks, all that shit. I just stood there awkwardly next to Embry my only closest friend, just waiting for that stupid Alissa to show up and tell these people why exactly I'm here.
A really good looking man named Jacob came with his equally pretty wife Bella and his two children - Sara and Isaac.
Sara was around twelve years old and her long curly mahogany - almost black - hair was in a ponytail that was braided on the side, she had the same eyes as her father and the same lips and face as her mom. She brushed passed me and ran over to Lorraine who both were jumping and squealing as they greeted each other.
Issac was so cute, He was around the same age as me, if not at least a year older. He has this rusty curly brown hair that falls just above his eyes, His skin is lighter than ours for obvious reasons since his mother is white, he got the cutest little upturned nose, just like a cute little pigs..well not actually like a pigs but..It's cuter. His eyes were just wow, they were this beautiful shade of brown, darker than his mother but lighter than his fathers and he has one sexy pair of lips, that I wouldn't mind kissing all day...whoa did I just think that, God I'm pathetic.
" Hi " He whispered near my ear and smug smile played on his lips as he watched me blush.
" Hi " I mumbled looking down.
" You're really pretty " He spoke and I giggled unable to hold myself. I bet I sounded like those sluts in school giggling at every damn thing a hot boy says.
" Issac " Jacob spoke in a commanding voice, giving me goosebumps on my arm. Both our heads snapped up and we turned in direction to where his father stood beside his wife. Isaac nodded at him but a small smile played at his lips. The whole room fell silent and the man were all glaring at Isaac, especially Uncle Sam and Embry.
What the hell did he do? All he did was compliment me and say I was pretty - Which I'm pretty sure is because I don't look like a tramp anymore and that Alissa bought me these hot new clothes and there's also my hair which actually looks like hair and not like weed sprouting out of my scalp.
Alissa came no sooner than that and everybody settled or tried to squeeze around the table. As soon as she walked in Embry dropped the plates he was carrying and stared so Intently at Alissa and she did just the same, I'm guessing it wasn't due to those tight daisy dukes she's wearing or her boobs nearly popping out her tank top, did she have to dress like a skank to meet my family.
Nevertheless I ran over to say hi, dragging Embry over there too. It's pretty obvious to see the sparks fly between these two.
" Hey Alissa, you made it in time " I smiled and she squealed hugging me, Good thing I wasn't that short or my face would be right in her cleavage and those things are trying to break free any moment.
" I'm glad I made it " She said not really looking at me but looking at Embry instead.
" Oh this is Embry " I said pointing to him " and Embry this is Alissa " I said pointing to her.
Oh great, I am truly the worst sister to ever live on this face of the earth. Why did I just set these two up? Did I forget about Carson but the main question is, Did Alissa his GIRLFRIEND forget about him?
" Claire what's wrong, don't you like the food " Aunt Emily asked me across from the table. Most of the guys were done eating and they were watching TV in the living room and the kids were playing outside. It was only me and the women at the table, some were eating, some were cleaning and some or well one was sitting on Embry's lap laughing at every damn thing he says. Slut, how could she do that to my brother.
" Those two seem friendly " I spat, glaring at Embry and Alissa who were too focused on that Paul guy's jokes.
" Yeah, I'm happy Embry finally found his I - " She stopped what she was saying and smiled. " I mean I'm glad Embry and Alissa are happy " I knew she was about to say something else, that started with an I, but I didn't care I was to angry to get suspicious.
" But Alissa is my brothers Girlfriend " I whined.
" Claire honey don't worry, they are adults, they will sort it out all by themselves, don't you worry " She said picking up a plate and wiping it clean. " Now why don't you go in the yard and talk to the kids, I'm sure Lorraine and Sara would love to get to know more of you " For a minute there she sounded just like what a normal mom would say to her kid, A mom who encourages her child to play with other kids, who asks they're kids " what's wrong " when they look upset and then tell them not to worry. Times Like this, I really wish my mom cared and If she did would life have been different?
I took her advice and talked to the girls but they were playing something stupid that I didn't really want to be a part off. Isaac found me looking bored and he took me inside and we hit it off instantly - especially with him telling me stupid dirty jokes for which I laughed my ass of the chair every time.
. Alissa must have noticed because she winked at me but I just glared back although I couldn't help the blush that was rising on my cheeks.
I guess I have to be a little thankful for Alissa being here, she did come up with an awesome story. This is how I ' supposedly ' had to stay here:
my mom and her husband Larry - I'm not sure if they noticed me flinching every time she said his name - Anyway they went on a business trip in Ecuador and so we had to stay with Carson but he couldn't take care of us properly because of bills and college and stuff. Then the social workers called and so Carson had to think of something quick so that's why we are staying here. Well that's why everybody else thinks we are staying here.
Everybody. Except me, Caitlyn and Alissa. Oh no, If Alissa knows and I go up to her face and accuse her of cheating then she might reveal my secret or plan to threaten me with it - who know how evil this girl is?!
I got to pretend to like her for mine and Caitlyn's sake so they don't treat us different when they find out the real reason why we are here.
Why does my life have to be so fucking complicated?
A howl in the distance interrupted my thoughts and made me clutch on to my wolf necklace, my thoughts instantly on Quil, who I met earlier.
Hoping wherever he is, that he is safe and away from that wolf.
Thanks for reading!
Don't own the name Lorraine because it is Jared's grandma's name! That's right, I do my research!
But Issac I do own and Alissa!
Thanks for reading, next chapter will be posted real soon and Hopefully Quil will appear again!
Happy Easter you guys!
