Chapter 25

Be careful what you say?

I stood there looking at the lizard walk over to his salad eating the rest looking at me through his tank "I can't believe mom actually bought you" I said turning on the red light for his heating at night but I couldn't help but think why is she always finding out things first, mom is so funny sometimes always wanting to make others happy; Avery is going to love his gift I shut off the remaining lights in the house and went upstairs to take a shower, the hot water felt amazing on my already heated skin but it hurt a bit more on my tea burn from bumping into mom, I stood in the shower running the hot water down my back as I laid my forehead on my arm leaning against the shower tiles, I still had to calm myself every time the thought of Jake being so upset about what happened popped into my mind; more times that I would have liked it, all I want to do was scream and scream as loud as my throat would let me. After my shower I dried myself off and wrapped myself in my new silk robe that mom proceeded on wanting to buy for us and then brushed my teeth, I left the bathroom walking over to my brother's door and knocked softly…Nothing…I knocked again but this time opening the door a bit and peeked inside "Jared" I whispered

WHAT A FUCKER!

I snapped in my head seeing an empty bedroom with no Jared inside he better come home, I'm not doing his chores again like last time I shut the door and walked down the hall to my room drying off my hair with the towel and settled myself on top of my bed after shutting my door, I reached over and turned on my lamp, I walked over to my dresser and picked up my comb starting to brush my hair looking into my mirror, I stopped and dropped my hands from my head looking into the mirror at my window, under the window ledge on the floor stood an amazingly carved wooden briefcase, just from where I stood I could see each defined carved design on the case, I turned around and walked over to it picking it up from the handle I almost dropped the briefcase seeing a rose laying on the floor behind it the hole time, I couldn't help but smile bending over and placing it to my face and inhaling the sweetest smell, the stem not longer then my forearm was attached to a half-opened half-closed rose in my hand, exactly how I loved seeing them, I walked over with the briefcase still smelling the rose all the way to my bed I rested sitting comfortably against my railing headboard and placed the rose down beside me smiling at it, I looked at the briefcase and I could tell it was handmade carved and it was still fresh, I could smell the freshly cut wood as my hand touched and schemed through each carved design, each vine-like curved line on two corners of the case but I couldn't stop looking at the incredibly remarkable carved wolf head in the middle of the briefcase with a forest like background framing the wolf head, it almost looked like someone but I couldn't figure out who; who gave me this? I thought scratching my head

Still confused as I can be I decided to open it; I turned it over and unclamped it

"oh my god?" I sighed in admiration

Tap…Tap

I looked over at the tapping sound that made itself known from my window, I walked over and opened it all the way sticking my head out a bit

"Hey"

BUMP

"OW" I jumped bumping my head on my window bringing myself inside again rubbing the top of my head "Are you okay" he asked concerned making himself appear in my room "I didn't think you'd jump like that after you heard me tapping" he said coming closer to me "it's my fault, I gotta stop jumping like that" I complained "Hey, thanks for the case I love it" I told him smiling at him "I don't know what you mean" he said sarcastically pretending like he had no clue what I was talking about "When did you end-up up here anyways, how did you get past my dad" I asked

"While he was distracted by the BBQ"

"Ha ha gotcha to admit" I laughed smiling, he smirked "did you look inside it completely before I interrupted" he said "Sort of... when I seen a glimpse I knew it was you who did this and I love the rose thank you" I said warmly towards him my hand roaming the edge of the case, I lifted my head to look at him and wondered why he hadn't said anything but I knew my answer right away "I think I should ask if your okay" I teased at him, his eyes scheming down the silk robe that shows every curve of my body through it "Mm Hm" he purred his eyes still scheming, I don't think that answer was to my question either "last time you looked at me like that something happened, remember" I smiled reminding him, he smiled back biting his lower lip making my insides tussle watching his eyes become clouded with needed desire, he had stepped closer, the feel of his fingers through the robe was yearning, I tried to breathe but it was so hard with each burly heart beat that pounded against my chest was giving my body a tingling sensation run through it, his left hand glided up my arm slowly

"I think I need a small re-cap" he smirked before attaching his lips to mine in that instant bringing his hand up to cup my face, his lips were exactly how I remembered them but there was the feeling of need like he needed to do this, his sweet taste was intoxicating making me oblige to what he was asking and to tell you the truth I needed it too just the kiss I gave him at the bonfire was the only thing I could think of the rest of the night and here he was kissing me again the way his lips moved with such want and desire that I find irresistible, the way his hand touched my skin…Wait…"Mm…Smooth very smooth" I said pulling back from him and closing my robe that he managed to sneak open "not smooth enough" he smiled stepping back and sat on my bed "Sorry, I couldn't help myself"

"Help yourself about what" We both turned to my window and my heart literally sank all the way to the end of the universe

"Paul" I breathed out my body as tight as ever

"Babe why are you just in a robe with Quil in your room" Paul's face was emotionless but I knew he was so confused and shocked as hell inside and I bet anything he's probably pissed off "Baby-" I tried "It was my fault Paul, I came to thank Cc for what she did earlier tonight and I accidently came right after she took a shower" Quil interrupted instantly "Then why did you say you couldn't help yourself"

"Oh, I asked Cc if she can draw me this rose and make a design for it on a small painting board for my grandma" Quil said picking up the rose from my bed, Paul stood there looking between Quil and I "Yea, your grandma loves roses doesn't she but it still doesn't explain why you're in her room" he said still unsteady as he stood at my window, I was frozen in place I felt like I was part of the floor "Yea she does…um…I knocked but there was no answer and then before I left I saw Cc's light turn on so I decided to jump the tree, I never got a chance to ask her before with the celebration and all, and grandma's birthday is coming up very soon so I just wanted to pass by quickly and ask her" Quil spoke normally, I really don't know how he could act all calm like this, I'm panicking like crazy over here "Babe relax, I could hear your heart like crazy" Paul said coming closer to me and pulling me into him

"I'm gonna get going" Quil said getting up "Cc don't forget the painting for me" Quil said making it over to my window "um…ye no problem…I'll have that for you soon" I said actually finding my voice "Awesome, night you guys" "Later man" Paul responded rubbing circles on my back trying to settle my still rapidly beating heart, I waved bye our eyes looking into each other as I see him jump out my window, my chest was starting to hurt at the agonizing feeling of almost getting caught, could you have imagined if I hadn't stopped Quil when I did, it shouldn't have happened anyways. What the hell is wrong with me? I can't keep giving in like I have to people…urghh my life is so screwed up

"Dia, you okay, your kind of scaring me a bit" I heard Paul say feeling him raise my head from my chin, I looked into his eyes "baby; talk to me" his concern ran through me and I wanted to cry right then but I held it in, I could see his sadness cloud his eyes looking into mine probably trying to read my very thoughts "I'm okay, just exhausted from all the thinking I've done lately" I finally managed to respond "Wanna talk about it" he spoke so gentle and concerned for me, I could feel his fingers shake a bit as he rubbed circles on my back trying to calm me, his right shaky hand rubbed the side of my face exactly how he always known I'd appreciate it, he stepped us over to my bed and grabbed the case placed it on the floor and the rose on my nightstand, he laid me down sideways and laid next to me cuddling me to his chest, he rubbed my hair back as our silence carried on, only the beat of his heart ran into my ears, the intense heat that radiated between our bodies was intoxicating sending me into a deep calming state, his touched soothed my body extremely "Did I do something wrong?" his voice whispered in the air, I lifted my head from his chest making his hand fall down to my lower back "Baby no" but he didn't looked convinced "Seriously it's not you; I swear, just don't worry about it" I told him trying to convince him, at least I wasn't lying to him, there's just so many things I've thought of over and over and I just can't understand it myself, especially since I don't have all of my memory back, even though almost everybody thinks I do and the feeling of being trapped has consumed my body so many times over the past week or so and it's really confusing me "I don't understand, why can't you just tell me" he said his voice became shaper with a hint of aggravation behind it, his eyes darkened with discomfort "Don't do this okay" I said getting up and sitting on the side of my bed facing my room wall "I feel like you don't trust me" he said propping up on his elbow "Paul, stop seriously, just drop it" I said growing aggravated myself as I raised my hand at my last saying to stop him from carrying it on "Come on don't shut me out, you know I'm here for you, you do know that right" he said unsure looking at me

"Babe, of course I know that, just please don't worry about it, it's; it's just Girl stuff" I responded to him, I know it seems like I'm shutting him out but I can't talk to him about how I feel and why sometimes I hate getting up in the morning and wonder why I'm even in this world in the first place, I love my parents for giving birth to me and I will always love my children they were never a mistake to me, I just don't understand myself and how can I talk to him if I don't even know myself…but Come on Claudia get yourself pulled together and figure this shit out, you're lying straight into your own boyfriends eyes like come on…Fuck I should get the award for being the best girlfriend in the world….NOT…

"It's amazing to hear about Emily and Sam, huh" Paul said bringing me back to the real world, I turned my head seeing him watching me very carefully "yea, they're going to be amazing parents, Avery and Amelia are going to be very happy a baby is coming soon" I replied still feeling like shit inside, I bet I didn't even look like myself anymore, I sure don't feel like it

"So, what's in here?" he said right away leaning over and picking up the briefcase and opening it "What's all this for?" he said seriously "it's art supplies" "Yea, I can see that; What for?" "After I'm done the painting for Quil…Um…I'm thinking about taking up art again" I said nervously, feeling my inside starting to tussle everywhere, his fingers tightened around the case and shut it harder than he should have making the case slam very loudly making me jump a bit "that's not going to happen Dia" he said a bit louder now "Sshh do you want my Dad to walk in, God; I don't understand why you're so against me becoming an artist" I complained angrily "Because it's not going to bring you places Dia; we talked about this already" he said getting up off the bed and leaned against my wall with the case in his hands "But I really want too" I replied getting angrier inside "Why can't you-" "No Dia; you're not wasting your time with this shit" I had tried to explain to him but he had already cut me off arguing with me but trying to keep our voices as low as possible

"Give me my case" I said sticking my hand out

"No"

"Yes" I said frustrated stepping over my bed to him and tried to get my case from his hands

"Dia No" he said moving his hand away preventing me from grabbing it

"Fuck just give it to me, God why can't you be supportive like-" I bit down but still tried to grab the case from his hands, he threw the case seeing it being tossed over to my bed hitting the edge before falling to the ground "Like Who?" he snapped

AAHHHOOOOO AHO AHHOOOOO

Avery's howl rang through the entire house making me and Paul stare at my door "freaking Christ" I complained "Excuse me" I said starting to move towards my door "Like who Dia?" he said grabbing a hold of my arm "Nobody, I have to check on our son" "Dia" he said annoyed "Paul No; we'll talk about this later" I said even though I didn't want to carry on this conversation Ever… "Let go"

I left my room ignoring the angry looking Paul that was just standing there as I left and shut the door behind me, I carried on down the hall to the top of the stairs and turned to hear my parents door opening "hi sweetheart" my father said smiling pulling something out of his ear "Hi dad" I said trying to see what he pulled out "is Avery having another bad dream, would you like me to go for you"

AHHHOOOOOO

"I'm not sure; but I'm okay you can go back to bed dad"

"You sure I don't mind going for you" he said lifting his hand again to his ear

"No it's fine, what are you doing with your hand?"

"Just putting my ear plug back in, you and Jared can be loud at night coming home sometimes so me and your mother wear ear plugs at night, but for some reason we can always hear Avery's howl"

"ohh, sorry about that"

AHHHOOO

"Shoot, sorry dad, motherhood calls"

"Night sweetie"

"Night dad" I turned around and headed downstairs to the kids room

I made it downstairs and started to hear little whines, I opened their room and seen Avery going in circles around the carpet thank god Amelia's still asleep "You okay honey" I whispered walking in and made my way to Avery and sat on his bed, Avery quickly phased back to normal and picked up his pajama's from the floor under his sisters bed and starting putting on his pants "I'm okay mommy, I wanted to make sure you were okay" he said putting his shirt back on and came to sit on my lap "Yes, why wouldn't I be okay honey" I said towards my little boy looking at him confused "Don't be mad mommy" he said quietly and so concerned giving me a big hug " Why would I be mad" I asked pulling him back a bit so I can see his face "Because you and daddy are fighting" he said sadly putting his head down "Avery honey, me and your daddy aren't fighting, why would you say that?" I said towards him cuddling him as he laid his head against my chest "its okay mommy, you're here now" I heard him say quietly "Avery, you didn't phase because of a nightmare did you honey, you phased on your own will"

His little figure shook a bit in my lap "I'm sorry mommy, I felt you wanted to get away from the fighting with daddy" he whispered quietly and nervously feeling bad for what he had done, I looked down at him and I couldn't help but pull him into a giant hug, I held onto him feeling him shocked but starting to relax as he wrapped his little arms around me, we hadn't moved for a while and I didn't want to let him go even though I had too, but knowing my own son had to take me away from an argument had really upset me inside "okay you, time for bed" I told him letting him go "but you're not okay mommy" he replied sadly "I'll be fine honey, it's time for bed" "But mommy" he complained as I laid him in his bed "Avery, mommy will be okay, your daddy and I are just having a disagreement about something, nothing you should worry about" I replied to him finishing his tucking in and giving him a kiss goodnight, I leaned up and started to head for the door and remembered "No more Nightmare faking, you don't wanna wake up grandma and grandpa" I said turning around a bit looking at him and gave him a little smirk, I touched the knob and opened the door

"You don't need to be with daddy, you can be with Uncle Jake" I heard Avery say very quickly, I turned my head quickly staring in shock "What did you say?" "You don't need to be with daddy if he makes you sad" I walked over to Avery and rubbed his head feeling my heart sink to the center of the earth "Avery why would you say something like that, I love your daddy very much, just because we argue sometimes doesn't mean I love your daddy any less" "But I can see how much it bothers you" he complained sadly and it broke my heart "of course it bothers me, nobody likes to argue, now come on it's time for bed" I told him "But…" he propped up a bit, I looked at him cocking up an eyebrow showing him I was now serious and it was time for bed, he laid right back down without saying a word.

I left and headed up the stairs feeling a few tears fall down my face thinking my own son's words coming out of his mouth, why would he say those words? Why would he want me to leave his dad? I made it to my room and took a deep breath to clear my thoughts, I'm just gonna go in there and tell Paul to leave for now and calm down…well I hope the time apart gave him time to breathe I opened my door and stood there "What the hell?" I whispered gasping out

"Miss Me"

I shut my door and went straight to my window sticking my head out looking around

"What are you doing?" he asked confused "Me, What are you doing? How; when" I said all mangled in confusion getting my head out of the window and looking at my bed where he laid there his feet crossed and his hands behind his head "Relax, he left a while ago and in quite a hurry too" he said all calmly with a grin on his face "if your here to argue about what happened you can just leave-" "Whoa, take a chill pill" he said raising his hands to tell me to calm, I still stood at my window looking at him, my mind going bonkers inside "I just wanted to talk to you about something" he said patting the bed for me to sit seeing him adjust himself to sit up, I didn't even want to move but I felt my body shift over towards my bed and sat down, I could start to feel a headache coming on just thinking how much this night cannot get any worse "What is it"

"First off; Jared's not coming home tonight" he said and I popped my head up "What do you mean not coming home tonight" I said flabbergasted my eyes opening a bit "Seth's cousin came down and she's here for a few months, so Jared's spending the night at Seth's getting to know her, what a Dork, you should have seen his face when she made her appearance at the beach"

"I'm going to strangle him when I see him" I said annoyed "I'm going to end up doing his chours again; he's not even gonna show up until tomorrow night for sure" I complained "No, he told me he promises to be here in the morning" "I hope so; I seriously can't take what mom gives Jared for chours" I said exhaling and laying back on my bed looking up at my ceiling my hands crossed on my stomach "Silk, very sexy" I heard him say, I propped up looking down seeing I was still in my knee high silk robe but now it looked like high thigh silk robe "shit I forgot" I said getting up so I could go get my pajamas on but a hand on my wrist had stopped me instantly "no need to change" he said in a low voice "yes there is; let go please" I said politely towards him, he let go slowly letting his hand fall down scheming my skin until he let go fully, I walked around my bed and to my dresser looking for my pajama bottoms and top "So, you had quite a few people show up tonight eh" I heard him say "Yea, I'm lucky my parents wear earplugs now"

"I know Paul was here I could smell him all over your room but" he said taking a sniff, which made me want to laugh out "Who is that" he said more to himself than to me "Quil was here earlier" I said placing my pajamas on my dresser and looked into my mirror looking at the shocked face staring back at me "Wh- uh Why was he here?" he said unsure I turned around and faced him crossing my arms around my chest normally "He wanted me to do something for him"

"What give him another kiss" he said annoyed, I smirked and bit my lip aggravated "Out; Get out; now your acting stupid" I said pointing towards my window "No, I'm sorry" he said getting up quickly and coming over to me "it just came out I don't want to argue with you" he said quietly placing his hands on my arms rubbing his thumbs against the silk, I exhaled deeply leaning my forehead against his chest "What was the other thing you had to tell me" I asked quietly starting to relax "Marry me" I tighten right back up "what" I lifted my head in alarm, Jake caught my face and planted his lips on mine giving me an all out kiss, I tried to pull back but his hands held my face there "Mm…Jake" I tried "Don't fight it" he said quickly "Jake…No…Stop" I kept managing to say with each chance of breath I can get through his kisses, he stopped and moved himself back a bit "You gotta stop doing that" "Do what; you keep pushing me away" he said unsettled "Because you think it's okay to keep on kissing me whenever you want"

"Why can't you see we're supposed to be together Cleo?"

"Jake don't do this" I replied going over to my bed and sat on the side and placed my hands to my head feeling the throbbing starting to intense "Why not" he complained "I know you still love me Cleo, you can't hide the way you feel about me, your eyes give it away" I heard him say, he still stood away from me standing at my dresser, I really didn't want to talk about any of this, I could feel myself start to heat up very rapidly "Can you really be with him after what he did" I heard him say, a quick flash of Paul raping me and throwing me was tremendously fast through my mind "Jake…Don't" I said angrily through clenched teeth as my right hand fingertips tightened on each side of my forehead from the frustrating anger and livid rage was starting to consume my body, the only thing I was trying to do was trying to calm myself for Avery's sake, I don't think he could handle this much pain and anger. "I know you haven't been yourself these past few days, I could tell there's something wrong, Does Paul know or even care""Stop it Jake" "Can you live the rest of your life the way he treats you sometimes"

"I want you to leave" I demanded to Jake letting go of my head and turned my head to the side looking away from him with my eyes shut tight and my tight grip on the edge of the bed, I felt like I could rip my bed into pieces "I'm not leaving, I want the years we missed" he said I started hearing his footsteps come closer, I lifted myself furious looking daggers into Jacobs eyes, he eyes widened in terror "YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU CHASED AFTER BELLA …NOW GET OUT OF HERE" I bursted out screaming at him, my body starting to tear up inside "Y-Y-Your E-Eyes" he stuttered "GET OUT" I roared

"Jacob, you have to leave" "Now" another voice appeared into her room, Jacob hadn't taken his eyes off of Claudia getting up quickly from the ground which he had fallen between Claudia's yelling and the horrific colors her eyes had become "That's not Cleo" was Jacobs last words before he jumped out of Claudia's window and took off

"Claudia you have to relax, Claudia can you hear me, it's Luscius; Claudia you have to calm yourself" Luscius demanded caringly to Claudia the panicky feeling crawling up his spine by how she is right now, Luscius had his hands holding Claudia in place by her shoulders, Claudia monstrous rage fumed through her body, Luscius wished he could calm her quickly but it was too much for him he was controlling Avery's body so he can't feel nothing his mother is enduring at this moment also controlling her parents minds thinking everything is normal and heard nothing through their ear plugs "Claudia control yourself" Luscius repeated towards Claudia over and over watching her eyes burn entirely black while her pupils a flaming blood red

Luscius started to worry after 5 minutes of trying to calm her down was not even working, He grabbed a hold of Claudia and jumped through her window with Claudia In his arms, Luscius took off in Vampire speed through the forest behind Claudia's house going to the only place he could think of bringing her at this moment "Claudia, Stay with me now" he said running as fast as his legs could take him as a Vampire…which was still pretty freaking fast, Luscius had finally made it to his house and headed to the backyard at the pool and through Claudia in the freezing water

SPLASH

"….AAAHHHHH ….WHAT THE…." All muffled with water

Claudia's body went flying into the pool making her body sink in, Claudia's trance was broken completely feeling the freezing water touch her heated skin freaking her out completely "Holy Shit" she said chattering her teeth a bit as she lifted herself out of the pool, Luscius came back with a towel in his hand and wrapped Claudia in it making her flinch "Luscius" she said all confused not knowing what was going on and why she wasn't even in her room "Let's go inside, I'll make some hot chocolate" Luscius pronounced helping Claudia off the ground and towards the house. Luscius's house was amazing not like his old home he had when he met Claudia, that house was a mansion compared to this one, it was only a two story house but the width of the house made it Huge, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a huge marble kitchen, a dining room area with a attached Bar, even though he never used it Luscius wasn't ever the drinking type, his Living room was amazingly huge with a giant stone fireplace a big screen television and his surround system, which to everybody thought is all because of Emmett and the best part of the living room was the giant crystal chandelier hanging down brightening the room

"What happened Luscius?" Claudia asked holding her head in confusion as Luscius placed her down on a chair in the kitchen "Don't you remember anything Claudia" he asked getting the hot water ready for the hot chocolate "No, I mean…yea I think…shit" her stutters of uncertainty was starting to worry Luscius, he walked over to her and sat in a chair in front of her "What the hell is wrong with me Luscius, why do I feel like I'm losing my mind"

"Claudia you have to relax" He replied to her feeling bad for his close friend "You have your kids to think of, they need you and not all distracted like this" he replied getting up and going over to the stove hearing the kettle start to boil "I know, I know, but I can't help it Luscius everything has been going through my mind like a hurricane and it takes me away from everything around me, half the time I can't even explain some of the thoughts that pop in my brain"

Luscius looked Claudia over and wondered if she had all her memory back, ever since he wasn't able to see through her and no longer see her aura it has disrupted his train of thought completely towards Claudia and how she is everyday like he once use too, he finished the hot chocolates and brought them over to her placing her cup in front of her and sat down in the stool next to her facing her "Thanks" she replied finally letting her hands fall from her head and placed them around her cup "Do you have all your memory or are you still missing parts of your life"

A single tear fell down her cheek but she wiped it quickly off "I'm still missing and I feel like I'll never get it back Luscius" she said feeling so hopeless inside and on the out "what if I tell you I can give it back, would you take it" he said normally taking a sip of his hot chocolate "I'd say hit me with your best shot but Luscius you can't do that" he raised his eyebrow up looking at Claudia "Fine, I guess you don't want your memory back" he said nonchantly knowing for a fact he can and would do it especially considering the circumstances, he sat there as he finished his last words and wanted to laugh at the look Claudia was giving him "Your serious, you can do that" "well yeah, if I do recall I did help you remember what happened in the forest, I didn't just show you what happened I gave you your memory back"

"Okay let's do it" she said jumping out of her chair and standing right in front of me all excited and happy all of a sudden, it made Luscius smile seeing her with a smile on her face...a true smile of joy. "it's going to hurt a bit, so you sure you wanna do this" he asked causing Claudia to roll her eyes "Don't offer if you ain't gonna deliver besides I've probably been in worse pain" Luscius grinned and sucked his teeth inhaling deeply for a second and looked at Claudia "I know you've been through a lot-" he said before getting cut off "Then…Please Luscius I need to have my memory, I can't think anymore please" she pleaded with him

I looked at Claudia and couldn't help but smile but still feel bad inside she isn't going to like how she's going to feel after this "There's just one little difference this time from last time, I'm going to have to bit you" her eyes opened wide "Your joking right" she said "Actually no I'm not" "but last time you only needed to place your hands on my head" she replied starting to become uneasy "Actually, before I had already bitten you before that while you were healing all those months and I knew your memories, I'm going to have to do it again for my power to work, but remember you don't have to do this, I don't want to make you feel worse then you already do"

I stood there thinking about what Luscius said and I couldn't take the feelings that ran through my body as I blurted out "Let's do it" he looked at me carefully "If you're sure" he said placing his hands on my arms, I nodded "uh-huh" "Okay, don't blame me if you end up vomiting then" I told her, she slapped my arm playfully "Oh shut up, I'm not going to throw up" I followed Luscius into his living room watching the crystal chandelier come into my view of sight as I walked in, we both sat on the long couch facing each other "Are you okay, you sure your ready" he asked sliding a bit over towards me, I took a deep breath closing my eyes then opening them looking Luscius in his eyes "I'm ready"

I stared at Luscius seeing him get off the couch and kneeling in front of me, I couldn't help but feel nervous, he raised his hand to my face slightly tilting it to the side to what I believe was to get to my neck, he closed his eyes for a second and I couldn't help but watch, he opened them and all I saw was a blazing Yellow through his eyes and seeing his mouth open a bit seeing his fangs (Luscius's fangs are exactly like the fangs from Queen of the damned) before I could say anything he attached his fangs into the skin of my neck making me yelp a bit and automatically grab a hold of his clothes

Claudia's yelp terrified me a bit but I knew I had to keep going I knew she needed her memory back, as her memories flowed right through my body making me see everything all over again even seeing her newest memories, her fingers tightened around my clothes as her body started to fall back on the couch, I let go as soon as all her memory that she had in her mind filled mine and I placed my hands on her head whispering a cantation as her body heaved for air, her eyes clouded of not knowing what was happening to her now, I kept whispering the cantation over and over "Asu-ei Limina Dusal"

"Urgh…ahh…argh…" Claudia moaned and groaned through the cantations Luscius was saying, he never stopped knowing it was working "Asu-ei Limina Dusal" her heavy breathing was erratic as her body kept arching up and down from the pain she was enduring from all her memories extensively rushing into her mind "Asu-ei Limina Dusal" Luscius repeated one last time before letting go of her and moved back a couple steps to give her body some room, Claudia continued to breathe and pant heavily, Luscius could see her skin glistening with sweat, Claudia's mind filling, her eyes shut so tightly as each memory past through her eyes all of a sudden Claudia's body shot straight up on the couch looking around hysterically not knowing where she was at that moment before she turned her head and seen Luscius sitting there looking at her cautiously "Claudia"

"I think I'm gonna throw up" Claudia said getting up so quickly covering her mouth and ran down the hall to the main floor bathroom slamming the door behind her

I walked into the living as soon as I seen Claudia running for the bathroom, just feeling her queasiness was making me feeling sick inside also "is she okay" I asked making my way towards my oldest friend "I told her she would throw up" he said getting up from the floor, I chuckled at the thought "What did you do to her?" I asked wondering knowing I felt some very wild things when I made my way over here, Luscius made himself comfortable on the couch and smiled a bit "Nothing much just gave her back her memory" he said knowing I wasn't feeling too confident about that idea "Are you sure that was wise to do at this moment; I mean look at what she's been through before I know you know exactly what I'm talking about Luscius" I said as quietly as I could get to make sure Claudia wasn't listening "I know it wasn't my smartest move but how she was tonight and what I seen I had too, she's changing and not for the best" he said feeling very disturbed and concerned making me start to feeling even more worried about Claudia, he leaned forward kneeling his elbows on his knees thinking very hard

"JASPER" a cheer broke the silence that had carried in the living room, Claudia ran over and I caught her in my arms hugging her tightly against me "Hello Darlin' How you feeling?" I asked her "a bit better my ears are still ringing a bit and I'm a little sore but besides that I'm good" she said letting go a bit giving a big smile, how I missed her so much "How's Alice?" She said tilting her head a bit "She's doing good she misses you" I replied to her rubbing her cheek with my thumb "I miss her too" she smiled, Claudia turned her head and looked at Luscius "luckily I was getting my memory back I don't think I'd remember where the bathroom was" she laughed making us laugh with her, she let go and made her steps towards Luscius, he got up as he seen Claudia open her arms for a hug "Thank You Luscius"

I made my way to the lazy boy chair that was across of me to sit down as I heard Luscius talk to Claudia "How's your head feeling? Does the ringing still bother you?" he asked speculating Claudia in front of him "a little bit sore and the ringing is fading away slowly but no worries I think I'll be able to live" she said smiling and playing around in the end "Good"

I sat Claudia down on the couch so I could talk to her seriously now "Before I take you home I have to talk to you about something" I told her she gasped "…Are you breaking up with me" she replied jokingly making us laugh "good to know you still have your humor" I told her smiling while she smiled back happily "I'm going to be leaving" I pronounced to her and her face fell "What- What do you mean leaving" she replied feeling depressed and uneasy in her seat "I know it's a bad time to be leaving but I can't hold this off no longer" I told her feeling so hurtful at the sadness that was being presented in front of me, her eyes started to water "Are you really leaving Luscius" Jasper pronounced knowing I was serious about it but I knew he couldn't believe it either "Yes; yes I am old friend" "A-Are you ever going to come back" Claudia said so quietly through her tears that poured down her sweet face, I looked at her wiping her tears away from one side "I could never stay away from here, this is my home I just have to do some things, I promise to be back as soon as I can, do you seriously think I could stay away from you and those children of yours"

"Hey; what about me; I believe I did know you first before this munchkin popped in" Jasper pronounced making Claudia smile a bit "as I was saying" I replied looking from Jasper to Claudia "I promise I'll be back but as long as you promise me something" I told her "Anything" she replied wiping the rest of her tears and calmed down "You and Quil have got to control yourselves while I'm gone, I won't be here if you two screw up again"

"WHAT—naughty naughty Claudia doing something or should I say someone when she's not suppose too; oohh I'm telling" Jasper said right away in shock and very interested teasing Claudia "Jasper don't say anything or else I'll tell Alice where you hid her Favourite shoes without her knowing" Claudia said looking Jasper up and down, Jasper's throat tightened "Okay, I won't say anything but seriously another dog Darlin' you couldn't find a normal guy" he replied jokingly but seriously, Claudia just rolled her eyes at him "Your pushing it Cowboy" she smiled, Jasper smiled wide and sat back normally on the couch getting comfortable again making me finally have my chance to finish what I was saying in the first place and get this girl back into bed for some needed sleep "So can you promise me that, I know it's really hard for you two but if you two end up kissing again I can't block It like I did those other times for you two"

Claudia looked at me funny "You only did it for us once Luscius" she said a bit confused "I seen Quil tonight before I showed up to your place, you two have really gotta control yourselves" I told her and she started to feel so embarrassed her face started turning all different shades of reds and pinks "How embarrassing" she said placing her hand up to her head "Don't be, Your still young Claudia, besides I can imagine how wild werewolves hormones get at times, just be careful what you do okay" Claudia nodded her head not wanting to say anything more but I knew she couldn't help the next question that rolled out of her mouth "Who's going to protect the kids if they come back" I grabbed a hold of Claudia standing her up and giving her a hug "Nothing will happen, do you seriously think with all these Vampires and werewolves that love those children would let anything happen to them" I told her letting go a bit and placing her face into my hands "No; Avery and Amelia are going to be so depressed when they find out your leaving"

"I know but I want to be the one who tells them if that's okay, can I pick them up tomorrow for a bit before I head out tomorrow night" I asked her even though I knew it would be okay with her but her face fell in shock "You're leaving tomorrow" she said quietly "I thought you'd leave later on not tomorrow, I think I'm gonna go home you can come over whenever you're ready" she said so sadly as she went on and gave me another hug and then headed to Jasper who gotten up and hugged her also "I'll take you home" I told her she shook her head "no no I'll be fine" "I don't think you should be going alone…you are still in your robe Darlin'" Jasper pronounced to her looking her up and down, Claudia looked down at herself "I know, I should bring my clothes into the bathroom for now on but don't worry I'm just gonna phase and get home I'll see you two later" Claudia turned and left feeling different emotions run through her body as me and Jasper felt every single one of them and to my guess her mind probably still filling with different memories she hadn't known until now, we watched Claudia from the window as she dipped into the forest and we felt that she had phased before her howl pierced into the night

"Does she know you didn't have to bite her?"

"No"

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

"No, I swear there's something missing something happened and I hope it seriously doesn't end badly? Promise me nothing happens to those kids I won't be able to feel them where I'm going"

"Don't worry everybody's watching over them"

"Jasper; Look over Claudia she…she hasn't been herself"

"You know I Will"

"Thank you Old friend"
