Okay so I'm disappointed in this chapter because I got MAJOR writers block. I need help.. I need reviews and badly. You guys are my motivation and I need reviews to continue writing! This chapter sucked, I know, but I promise the next one will be better. I'm already in the process of writing, but please review so I can have my motivation back because I know what I want to write, but it's just getting there. Please, please, please, review! It would mean the world to me! Thanks!

"Claire, are you okay?" Effy asked me, and I just shrugged. No, I wasn't okay. I immediately felt horrible for being so mean to Quil, but I was so confused on my feelings about everything. I barely knew Quil and he just had to come around and be so perfect and has to mess everything up! He was becoming my best friend and yet I still feel like I barely knew him. Maybe we weren't best friends. He did lie to me after all, and I'm so much younger than him. Best friends don't lie to each other, so maybe he didn't consider me a best friend, but Effy lied to me and she is my best friend, but I'm still here with her. I've practically forgiven her, but why am I still mad at Quil? I sighed in frustration.

"Because he still hasn't told you everything and you know he hasn't," Edward answered my thoughts. I spun around and glared at him.

"Then why don't you tell me?" I insisted, "You are the mind reader after all."

"It's not my secret to tell," he shrugged.

"He makes me so furious!" I growled, "Even before I knew that there were secrets, he made me so angry!"

"Maybe it's because you're in denial of the fact that you actually have feelings for him." I looked at him with hatred in my eyes. How dare he say what I'm feeling? But a little part of me knew that he was right. Quil was all I thought about. According to Aunt Emily, Quil has started to loosen up after all these years. Quil apparently used to be the craziest out of all of them, but now, he's the most uptight. I'm the complete opposite of Quil. I'm carefree, and I'm up for anything crazy and fun.

"Opposites attract," Edward murmured, and I just glared at him.

"I am not attracted to Quil!" I huffed and crossed my arms.

"You're in a room with someone who can read minds; I know when you're lying.

"Okay yes," I admitted, "I find Quil rather attractive, but I don't want to be in a relationship with him."

"Again," he tapped his temple, "mind reading. I know when you're lying."

"Ugh! You are so obnoxious!" I stamped my foot, "How do people deal with you?"

"You are exactly like your family," Rosalie laughed, "Everyone in your little tribe hates the fact that Edward can read minds, but we don't mind. Sometimes we can make him see things that he doesn't want to see. If you know what I mean." Rose winked at me and I squirmed in discomfort. I noticed that Edward also seemed to squirm.

"Would you like to get to know the twins?" Effy came up to me and put her hand on my shoulder. I nodded and she led me outside, and we started walking through the snowy forest that surrounded the Cullen house.

"Does everyone have a separate house around here?" I asked and Eff nodded.

"We all have different houses because we aren't actually children Claire," Effy laughed, "Well, at least some of us aren't."

"And how old are you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at her. She looked down, and I noticed blush appearing on her cheeks.

"You aren't going to believe me when I tell you," she murmured. I raised my eyebrows at her.

"What? Are you like ten thousand years old?" I joked around, and she frowned.

"I wish."

"Eff, how old are you?" I asked.

"Five, Claire, I'm five," she stopped and looked at me. Embarrassment was all over her face.

"Wait what?"

"I was three years old when I met you, Claire. Hybrids grow ridiculously fast, but they quit growing around the age of seven," Effy explained, "Am I freaking you out yet?"

"Just a little," I laughed and started to walk again, "but I think I could get the hang of it."

"Okay good," Eff smiled and looked up, "And here we are." I looked up and gasped. It was a three story Roman styled mansion with twin staircases that lead to the front door. There were statues of the same woman and all of the hedges were neatly trimmed. Effy led me out of the snowy yard and into their house. It was as if it was split in half. One side had fall colors of red and orange, and the other side was wintery colors of blue, purple, and grey.

Crucible and Bliss then came down the stairs in sweats and hoodies.

"Hey," I smiled nervously. I'm still shocked by the twins' beauty. Although I see them as really young, I could tell by their presence that they were much older than my mind thought they were.

"So you want to know more about us, huh?" Crucible said to me and leaned against the railing. "Well leave this to this fuck-up to be the reason that we're immortal." She pointed her thumb towards Bliss, and she only looked down.

"So here's our story little human," She smiled and I could see the anger in her eyes.

"We were there in 79 A.D. when Mount Vesuvius erupted, you know. We were the princesses of Pompeii. They said we were the daughters of Venus because of our amass beauty. Whether or not that is true, we do not know. Twins were very rare during our time, especially identical twins, and for us to live. They suspected that we were in the hands of the gods and goddesses. We were praised, and we wore only the best apparel. We were fifteen years old, but we are two of the strongest and oldest vampires that exist. Back then, our people praised sexuality, and it helped that the gods blessed us with amazing bodies. We were always surrounded by hot men that were in their twenties, maybe older, which is frowned upon now. I don't understand why, but it sure was a fun time." Crucible gave an almost cruel smile and bliss just looked down as if she were ashamed by herself.

"Anyway, something happened that our parents loved us for. We fell in love with two brothers. As you can tell, Bliss and I are polar opposites. So were the brothers. I fell in love with the good, and Bliss fell in love with the bad one. Wouldn't have expected that would you? I guess opposites attract. Who would have known that the brothers were the creatures who would raid our city and slaughter people and animals once every couple of weeks? Aahron and Abbadon were the men we were destined to marry, but as I said before, it was Bliss's foolishness that caused us to be like this. On the night of our weddings, they revealed to us who they were. I told Aahron that I would never be like him, and he accepted me saying that he would love me for the rest of my days. But poor pathetic Bliss who was so in love couldn't stand the thought of them being separated, so she accepted the bite. Abbadon was infuriated with his brother's weakness and tried to force his brother to change me, too, so we could rule for eternity. Aahron said no and protected me with his life, but he wasn't good enough, Abbadon turned against his brother and forced me to watch as he ripped his "good" brother to pieces and burned him. Abbadon was the one with red eyes, meaning he fed from humans, but not Aahron. He had golden eyes and he was so good. His name means light bringer, and he brought light everywhere around him. Abbadon and Bliss started to rule, and I was left heartbroken. The volcano erupted only a week later, and I would have died if it weren't for Bliss. She begged Abbadon to save me, and I begged them not to. My lungs were filled with ash and I thought I was a goner, but I wasn't. I swore for revenge for all the things they had done to me. I went to Bliss, and she protected Abbadon with her life, but of course I couldn't kill my own sister. He fled and I spent four hundred years trying to find him, but I couldn't no thanks to my ever so kind and loving sister. I eventually gave up and became pure evil; not caring about human life at all. Bliss, followed me around and covered up my back, but then the Voltori came around and tried to control us, when we're older than them! We eventually became part of the Volturi guard. A few months ago we left because of all of the bullshit that is going on around there. And that is when we found the Cullens."

I was taken aback by their story. This was so strange to me, but I felt bad for Crucible. I couldn't imagine what it would feel like to lose the one who you were in love with. My mind immediately flashed to Quil, but it was buried away quickly.

"So now you know our story," she said, "can you leave now?"

"You don't have to be so mean Cruce," Effy nagged.

"What? She knows our story, so she can get out of my house," Crucible looked at Bliss, "right Bliss?" Bliss just looked down and shrugged, clearly upset about the fact that she was completely embarrassed about what Crucible had said about her.

"It's fine," I said, "let's go Eff."

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to come home tonight. Everyone hasn't eaten in a while, so they're a little.. hungry. Are you okay with going home tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine," I lied, "If I ask my aunt and uncle not to let someone be around me then I'm sure that they won't let them be around me."

"I'm sorry," Effy apologized and I just shrugged. She led me outside and looked at me with a smirk.

"What?" I asked.

"Hop on my back," she smiled and I shook my head.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just trust me; I want to show you something." I jumped on her back and we sprinted through the woods like Quil and I did before. Then, she did something that surprised me. She started jumping on the trees, and soon enough, we landed on the roof of my aunt and uncles house.

"Whoa," I breathed looking around and smiling.

"I have always wanted to show you that!" she squealed.

"So you weren't pretending to be my friend," I said and she looked at me, shocked.

"No! Of course not!" she seem offended, "Claire, you are, and have always been my best friend. Don't ever forget that, and Quil will tell you what it is he has to tell you. He just needs time. Just try and focus on having fun. School starts up again tomorrow, so maybe you could distract yourself from everything."

"I know, that's what I need to do," I said and hopped into my window, "Bye Eff."

When I returned back to school I noticed that I had a study hall period instead of my martial arts class with Quil. I also noticed that during our dinner with the pack, Quil wasn't there. April soon came around and I realized that Quil wasn't coming back, and I was absolutely miserable.

"Aunt Emily," I said one day during dinner. I had gotten used to not speaking at all during dinner. "What happened to Quil?"

"You told him to leave, and that's what he did Claire," Uncle Sam said and looked at me sternly.

"Well, I didn't actually mean that," I defended and they all just raised their eyebrows at me, "I was just mad!"

"Yeah, well in case you haven't noticed, he does anything you tell him to do," Embry laughed and I glared at him.

"Actually he just bosses me around," I grumbled and crossed my arms together.

"Claire, why don't you just ask him to come back?"

"Because I don't chase the boys, boys chase me," I winked and Kim just glared at me.

"Well sometimes people actually have to work for things instead of getting everything handed to them," Jared's wife, Kim snapped and walked out of the room.

"Geez what's her problem?" I asked and everyone just glared at me.

"You just don't get it Claire," Jared also snapped, "You're a bitch to everyone around you and act like your life is so hard when it's not! You don't put other people in your consideration and you don't consider the fact that you are so out of control and that some people actually have to watch after you because you don't watch after yourself."

"I watch after myself perfectly fine!" I defended. God why was everyone pushing my buttons lately? It's like they all defend Quil and not me.

"Really then how did you get those stitches on your forehead?" Jared asked, he was now shaking.

"I slipped," I lied.

"Yeah try lying around here when we were the ones that carried you home when you were on who knows what drugs," Jared argued and I slammed my hands down and stood up angrily.

"You don't know anything about me and what I do!" I yelled, "In fact, none of you do! Not even Quil!"

I ran up to my room and put on sweatpants and a hoody. I then snuck out of the window even though I know that I can't sneak out of a house full of werewolves, but they can't stop me. I started running towards the beach. It was only six so it's not dangerous yet. It started raining and I stopped in annoyance and looked at the waves.

"Why does this have to happen to me?" I screamed at nothing and threw seashells into the ocean. Then an idea popped into my head.

"I'm going to go find him," I said to myself, "Maybe some boys are worth chasing.

I ran to his house as fast as I could, and ran through the forest. I tripped over a tree stump and fell to my hands and knees which were then covered in blood. I fought through it and kept running, not even noticing that I left blood all over the ground.

I reached the clearing where Quil and Embry's house was located. I ran up to the front porch and started pounding on the door, leaving blood on it.

"Quil!" I yelled, "Quil Ateara let me in right now!" I continued knocking and the door opened. My breath was taken away when I saw Quil. He wasn't wearing a shirt and he was wearing basketball shorts that barely showed his boxers. His hair was disheveled and his face was covered in shock.

"Claire, why are you here?" He asked, "Come inside."

"Why didn't you ever come back?" I asked and gripped my hand on the counter and winced. I just noticed the giant slice in my hand.

"You're hurt," he pointed out and grabbed my hand and bringing it under the faucet so he could wash it out. He then wrapped it in gauze so the bleeding would stop.

"Thank you," I said, "But you're still in trouble."

"What do you want Claire?" he asked, annoyed.

"Why didn't you come back?" I asked.

"I'm just doing what you asked."

"Well that's not what I wanted!" I stamped my foot and he raised his eyebrows. "You're supposed to chase after me and apologize!"

"Claire, we aren't together," he spoke and it stopped me dead in my tracks.

"I never said that," I choked.

"You're acting like we are and we weren't in the first place," he shrugged and walked away from me to sit on the couch.

"Quil Ateara! Don't you walk away from me!" I yelled and he stopped.

"What do you want Claire?" he asked and threw his hands up in the air, "I do everything you want me to do and it's still not good enough!"

"I want you!" I blurted and covered my mouth in surprise.

"What?" he was taken aback and hope filled his eyes.

"I want you! Okay?" I cried, "I have a stupid high school crush on someone who is way older than me and it won't go away, so I thought it would be better for me if we could be best friends and then you have these secrets and I just fell harder."

"Claire-"

"No, let me finish," I said and walked up to him where we were nose to nose, "I told you everything about my parents, about me, and you lie to me. I just want to know the truth. I don't care if we can't be together; I just want you to tell me the truth!" I shouted and Quil's big hand covered my mouth. I struggled in his grasp and he let go.

"Claire," he whispered, "do you know what an imprint is?"
