Ok so here's the Next Chapter, I hope you enjoy! I don't own twilight, but I hope I will after I go to court! Lol jk! Lol I know you've all heard Voltaire's Quote from Candide "To err is human"

To Eyre Is Human

Chapter 16

~Last time~

I suddenly smelled that distinct sickly sweet smell, I panicked. It was him, the one after Claire.

"Claire!" I was panicked "RUN!" I yelled, I was hoping that she could get to the house in time to call for back up. Quickly phased, and howled. Then I heard a bone chilling, blood curdling scream, coming from Claire.

Quil P.O.V.

CLAIRE! I thought. I growled loudly.

I ran to Claire, and I see the disgusting, vile, vicious, vulgar, vampire was standing there, he looked amused. Claire was backed against the tree. The abominable leech was touching Claire with his repugnant fingers. His hideous face was close to her angelic one, his hand ran down her body, and I felt nauseous and infuriated.

He leaned in and kissed delicate plump lips with his revolting, hard, cold, stone, lips. Fear was spread across her face. She looked to me for help, her eyes pleaded for saving. His foul face neared her lovely, silky neck. I lunged at him without thinking, I had lost it. He smiled a malicious smile.

"Aww, touchy are we, don't worry, I was only having a bit of fun." He smiled his wicked smile.

I growled at him more intensely. I ran towards him and he moved. Claire was stuck in shock. I growled my most menacing growl at her, hoping she would be afraid and run, and I was right.

"Well, since I can smell your back up coming I'm going to leave, I have no intent on dying, at least not without that delicious last meal." He jetted off while laughing malevolently, I chased after him but it was no use, he was too fast, the only one that might be able to catch him would be Edward. We might have to get him to come down here. A few minutes later the pack showed up.

Where'd he go? Jacob asked.

He went north east. I told him. But it's too late, he's already long gone, he might even be faster than Edward. I said sadly. Jake, we need patrol 24/7 please, I don't want to have Claire be in this much danger, I almost went insane when I saw him touching her with his filthy, vile hands. I was angry.

Don't worry Quil; we'll make sure we get him. Seth said confidently, I'll call Edward and ask if he can come. Seth phased out and ran to a phone.

I paced back and forth and decided it would be best to stay on guard near Claire. I ran back to Claire's and I saw her on her porch with Tammy. Claire looked a little shaken up but not as bad as I thought she'd be.

I whined and Claire's head lifted up.

"Quil," she smiled, relief was evident on her face. "are you ok?" she ran up to me.

I barked a laugh. She pet me like a dog and gave me a hug.

"I'm glad you're ok, I was worried" she said. I tried to demonstrate that I was fine, but I was distracted. She smelled like him.

I felt my body go ridged.

"What's the matter" she asked

I wrinkled my nose, and unconsciously growled lightly.

"I smell?" She asked confused, "I'm sorry," she said as she leaned in to kiss me on the nose, which only made it worse. It reminded me that I couldn't keep Claire safe, that leech was able to touch her, and if he really wanted to, he could have killed her right there and then. That infuriated me.

I walked back into the cover of the woods. I phased back.

Claire's P.O.V.

I walked up to Quil because I was worried about him, but he seemed angry, I don't know what I did. Apparently I smelled. After he went back to the woods I didn't know what upset him. I saw return and I was happy because I thought he ran off. He was still a bit agitated.

"Quil" I said. I was worried I did something wrong. "Why are you so mad?" I asked sadly

"Don't act like you don't know" he said coldly and completely out of character for him.

"Quil, what did I do wrong?" I asked angry and hurt. I had no clue what I did to upset him.

"You didn't do anything; I wasn't able to protect you." He said angrily.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused "You saved me, Kohl didn't get me, you scared him off." I said

"No, if he hadn't decided to toy with you, you would be…dead…" his voice choked at the last word.

I hadn't the slightest idea on how much this affected him.

"I'm sorry, but it wasn't your fault" I tried to calm him.

"No, it is" he said with his jaw clenched. "He finds it amusing how much it angers me. I can't stand the sight of him touching you, you're mine, and he was putting his filthy hands on you, I couldn't stand it." He was shaking and almost growling.

"Quil, don't worry, nothing will happen to me" I said confidently.

"How can you say that? I couldn't protect you; he got close enough to kill you twice. And how are you so calm?" he shouted.

"Because, I feel safe around you," I said honestly, I also left out the part of me being worried about him, but that would only upset him more.

He looked slightly happier when I said it, but he was beating himself up. He questioned my sanity because I wasn't afraid, but I was. I was terrified. I had Bella and Alice have kissed my cheeks, and the others have hugged me, they were cold and stone like, but they were comforting. However, Kohl, when he touched me, every nerve and cell in my body were sending distress signals. I was terrified out of my wits.

Quil followed me and was always alert. He acted like I was going to be attacked any minute.

Charri was off with her boyfriend. I was thinking that if Charri hadn't gotten in a fight with mom, Quil wouldn't be so paranoid because we wouldn't have been in the forest at that time. So I put it all together, I was going to blame Charri, that was my overall solution and I'll tell Quil so he doesn't have to blame himself.

We decided to go over to Seth's house to spend the night, since it's more in town and farther away from the forest Quil thinks I'll be safer.

I went inside, little ten month old Alex came waddling over towards me. He squealed happily.

"Hey cutie!" I smiled "How are you?" I asked him as I kissed his adorable, little cheeks.

"Aww thanks, I'm fine" Seth said.

"Pshh, not you, I was talking to the adorable, handsome one" I laughed

"Yeah, you're talking to me." He said with a cocky smile and trying not to laugh.

"Ha! You're so conceded" I laughed really hard. "Anyway, besides your giant ego, how are you guys?" I asked.

"We're fine" Shaye came out of her room. She picked up Alex, who looked more like Seth than anyone, except his blue gray eyes.

Seth went over to talk to Quil, they both looked serious, but Quil looked aggravated. They began to construct plans. They decided to ask the Cullen's to help.

Shaye and I talked for a while, then Nessie showed up.

"Hey, I heard about what happened earlier, how are you?" Nessie asked. She came through the doorway.

We heard a soft little cry. Shaye's maternal instincts kicked, her face was attentive, and she was listening to his cry and she went over to Alex.

"I'll be back, I need to change his diaper." she said as she walked over towards him.

We both acknowledged her and we continued talking. "I'm fine, everyone thinks I should be afraid huddled in a corner, sucking my thumb, and crying like a baby in a fetal position." I said smiling a little bit more the more my sentence proceeded, and so did Ness.

"Well you're a very strong person, and we all know that, but I think Quil wants you to be the damsel in distress and him, the knight in shining armor." She gave me a warm reassuring smile.

"Well, what am I supposed to do? Grow my hair out and lock myself in a tower. Or eat a poisonous apple, or, or, or" I got stuck but then came up with more. "or what does he want to rescue me from a dragon? Get pricked by spinner thing and go to sleep for ever until he comes and gives me a kiss, huh?" I was getting huffed up. "I don't want to be a damsel in distress!" I was ranting "Sure I want my prince, but I'm not helpless."

Nessie was laughing her beautiful chiming bell laugh.

"You one of the few people I know that doesn't want to have a prince come save her." She was laughing loudly.

"Hey, like I said, I want the prince, I just don't need rescuing." I laughed with her infectious laugh.

"I think you're a bit like Jane Eyre. You use your wits to solve your problems." She smiled.

"Except I don't want Edward Rochester; he could be a pirate at the end if he wanted to, he was missing a hand and an eye. I just want my werewolf." I laughed harder.

"Well, anyway, you remind me a bit of the stories Jake and my dad used to tell me about my mom." She smiled. She loves Bella dearly. "You probably heard of them, the one where my mom went cliff diving, and went to see the Volturi, and the time she wanted to help with the New Born Battle, and she cut her hand like the third wife." She laughed

"Well, I guess I do feel a bit like Bella sometime, being the only useless, helpless one." I told her honestly.

We continued to talk and chat, Shaye joined in on our conversation. I heard all the stories of Bella's human life from a more Bella point of view. The stories or legends I was told were more of the werewolf point of view. It was intriguing and captivated my attention when I heard Bella's version, I felt I could relate and connect to her more. I felt inspired by Bella, I felt as if even my small contribution would help a tremendous amount.

We got a call from Edward saying that they'd be in La Push in a few hours; they took a connecting flight from Maine, to Seattle.

"Quil," I called him, hoping to get him to relax.

"Hm?" he said without looking at me

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the beach." I asked him with high hopes.

"No, we have to organize" Quil said with a sharp tone.

I felt myself flinch away from him. His cold tone was devastating, my eyes stung. I left the room to hide my face filled with pain of rejection.

"Hun," Shaye said "don't take it personally, he's just scared out of his wits about your safety."

"Shaye's right Claire" Nessie said "How about you two go down to the beach for a bit, I'll stay here with the boys" she suggested

Shaye walked I to the beach, we walked down with little Alex, he is so adorable. He calls me Aire it sounds like Air. It's adorable. He can say Ma, Da, and Aire, no, and several non understandable words.

Just as we got comfortable and sat down in the sand a very angry Quil stormed up to us.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Quil steamed.

"Sitting down?" I responded

"Why are you at the beach unsupervised?" he said angrily but trying not to yell

"What am I three? I don't need supervision, plus I have Shaye here." I said with a snappy tone.

"Yeah, you do need supervision, you just can't be here alone!" he yelled

"Yes I can!" I yelled back.

"No you can't!"

"I can do whatever I damn well please! You can't tell me what to do!" I yelled loudly

"To hell I can't!" he was steaming "You can't be out here alone, and helpless like you are!"

That was the last straw that set me off.

"I am NOT helpless! I can take care of myself! I'm not four years old anymore Quil!" I yelled at him, but I felt more power in doing so. Usually when I yell I start to cry, but not this time. "I can protect myself! And if I can't then I sure don't need your help! Nessie will help me!" I shoved in his face and stomped off. Shaye and Quil were left there dumbfounded. I never yelled at Quil like that before, the worst that it ever got was arguing.

Behind me, as I walked away I could hear Shaye.

"Weeellll, I might as be moseying my way back home, see ya Quil." Shaye said uncomfortably. Without having to look at Quil I could feel his livid gaze upon my back.

I stomped off the Seth house were Nessie met me with a concerned face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know he was going to blow up like that" she said

"I was wondering if I could stay with you for awhile, I mean it's better for my mom and my sister, and the whole town come to think of it, and I think I'd rather stay with you."

"Sure?" she replied confused "Yeah, the kids are staying with Charlie and Sue." She replied.

"Thanks" I said as I hugged her.

"I'm going home now, do you want to come now, or go home first." She asked me.

"Um, go now." I said simply, trying not to be overwhelmed with my fight with Quil.

"Yeah sure, get in the car, I'll be there in a minute." As I stepped out the door I heard Ness calling Tammy.

I sat in the luxurious car that Nessie had. She got her grateful, and semi-clumsy nature from her mother, and her love of cars from Edward, and Rose, she was truly a perfect match for Jacob.

We got to Nessie's home, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a four car garage.

Nessie led me to my room; she brought down some sets of clothes for me and left me alone for awhile. That's when the tears came. I felt my body shake as I cried into the pillow. I felt stupid for crying, and I felt stupid for arguing with Quil, all he wanted to do was keep me safe.
