When we pulled into the driveway my heart almost stopped, my dad was standing with the sheriff in the front yard.

I cautiously got out of the truck and walked over to Sam and Emily who were standing on the porch staring at my father.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Claire!" Emily hissed, "Watch your mouth young lady!"

"Why is he here?"

I was near hysterics; even Quil standing beside me and comforting me didn't help.

Sam looked at me with a sad look in his eyes, "His trial was yesterday, he was found innocent. Most of the evidence they found was circumstantial and couldn't be used."

He got off; was this a fucking joke?

My dad finally spoke, "I thought you'd be glad to see me Claire-bear!"

"Don't call me that! As a matter of fact, don't talk to me at all!"

I couldn't help but say everything that was on my mind.

"Let's play a little game, shall we?"

I didn't wait for his answer before continuing.

"This game is called never have I ever; here are the rules,"

My words were layered thick with sarcasm.

"Hold up one of your hands, and I'm gonna tell you things I've never done. If you've done it you have to put a finger down."

The police officer was looking at me like I was crazy; my father looked amused.

"I've never shot someone I love; I guess that's one finger out for you."

"I've never lied to a judge; there's another one you've done!"

My voice kept getting louder and louder.

"I've never cheated on my significant other; haha you've done that too."

"I've never broken the law; murder is against the law last time I checked!"

"Hmm last question; I've never, not felt remorse for hurting someone."

"Wow Dad, you really suck at this game; you're out already!"

He tried to defend himself, "Claire, do you really think they would have let me go if I was guilty?"

"You might be able to fool 12 idiot jurors but you can't fool me."

"You're a sick, foul, disgusting, dick-ass, scum-fuck!"

By this time I was yelling; the smirk on my father's face was clearly visible.

"Now Claire, watch you mouth young lady."

"Don't you dare tell me what to do you fucking bastard!"

"Claire Melissa Young!" Emily scolded, "Watch your language!"

I sighed, "Yes Aunt Emily."

Keeping with the sarcasm I made my exit, "I apologize that you had to drive all the way over here from prison, just find out that you're a terrible liar; better luck next time."

I smiled fakely and ran inside.

I could hear everything that was being said from my window.

"Get the hell off my property; you are no longer family, you are no longer welcome here!"

I recognized that as Sam's voice.

"Last time I checked, Sam, Claire was still my daughter."

"She's 17 now, she's an adult." I heard Quil state.

(17 is the legal age in Texas, I'm not sure what it is in Washington.)

"You're absolutely right, so for now I'll leave but I'll be back sooner than you think."

Was that I threat?

"I'll find a way to get Claire back, adult or not, she's still my daughter."

With that he and the sheriff left and I heard Emily, Sam and Quil come inside.

Like I knew he would, Quil came straight to my room to make sure I was o-kay.

"Claire…can I come in?"

I couldn't say no to Quil, so I allowed him to come in.

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. If I had any idea that he would be here, I wouldn't have brought you over here."

What? Why was he blaming himself?

"Don't apologize Quil; it's not your fault."

"I know but I just hate seeing you like this. I want to do everything I can to make you o-kay again."

Quil was so perfect and I'm so glad that he's mine; even though I really don't deserve him.

Quil stayed with me the whole night, drying my tears and making me feel better.

Finally at around 6:30 I passed out.

When I woke up the next day I was alone.

I looked at my clock and realized how early it was; it was barely passed 7 in the morning.

So much for a good nights sleep, I thought to myself.

I silently climbed out of my bed and headed for the kitchen.

It didn't surprise me when I heard the voices of the pack coming from there; they were always having meeting over here.

I was about to turn around and go back to my room so I wouldn't disrupt the meeting but that was before I heard my name being said.

I can't help that I'm a naturally curious person; I decided to listen in.

"She can't stay here, he's not stupid, he'll find a way to get her!"

I recognized that voice as Quil's.

"I know that! What the hell do you propose we do? I care as much as you do for her Quil; she is my damn niece you know!"

"I know Sam; I'm sorry."

"No don't be. All this stress is just really getting to me. Getting down to business; Claire can't go anywhere unattended and I will need you guys working double for a while."

I heard a chorus of groans at that news.

I didn't blame them though; all that just because of me?

It was extremely unnecessary to go through that much trouble for me.

"Quil," I heard Sam say, "I want you and Claire to go away for a while and Seth I want you and Leah to follow them to make sure he's not."

"Where do you want me to take her?"

"I don't care. Take her as far away as you need to but don't break the rules because I will know!"

"Seth and Leah, I want you guys to stay with them constantly. If she goes to the bathroom at a public place, I want Leah to go with her. She must never be left alone."

"When do you want us to leave?"

"Quil, I want you and Claire to leave tonight. Seth and Leah I want you two to leave a few hours after them. Go wake Claire up and tell her to pack as many things as she can."

That was when I decided to make my entrance, "I'm already up."
