A Quil/Claire Imprint Story

Chapter 8 Nessie

"Ok. So what I'm gonna tell you is all I've been able to coax out of everyone. So, Ephraim Black, Jake's grandfather, came across a vampire and he was going to destroy it, but it promised that him and his clan were different from other vampires. Instead of hunting humans, they were able to prey on animals instead. His eyes were proof of this, they were gold instead of the red they usually saw. The Quilutes offered them a treaty and they accepted it. The treaty said that they would destroy them as long as they never bit another human again. The vampire that Ephraim saw is my grandfather Carlisle."

My eyes opened in shock. Her grandfather is a vampire!

"Now, I'm going to skip about 50 years. The tough time was when my mom got pregnant with me. My dad was a vampire at the time and my mom was still human. Nobody thought that it was possible so Carlisle never warned my dad, Edward. See, vampires can't have kids. But when Sam found out about me, he said, 'That thing' needs to be destroyed. Jake disagreed because he was in love with my mom and to destroy me, my mom would need to be destroyed. So he left Sam's pack."

"Let me get this straight. You're half vampire?" I asked in disbelief.

"Ya. I can survive on blood or human food. I prefer blood, and human blood doesn't bother me like it does other vampires."

"So that's why you were hunting before?"

"Ya. Then I caught a vampire scent I didn't recognize. So I called Jake cuz I was sure he would want to know."

"So tell me about vampires and your family."

"Well ok. In general vampires are gorgous, they have pale white skin that is very hard. They're fast and strong. Some of them have special abilities. Uncle Jasper can mess with your emotion, make them whatever he wants, and his wife, Aunt Alice can see the future. Dad can read minds, and mom can protect you from mental attacks. Then there's grandma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle. And Uncle Emmett who is extremely strong and his wife Aunt Rosalie. Do you want to see them?"

"Sure." She reached up and put her hand on my cheek. I saw pictures of her family in my head. She pulled her hand away and the picture disappeared.

"And that's what I can do."

"That's cool and creepy at the same time. But I like it." I smiled. "So your mom's a vampire now?"

"Ya. She almost died when I was born. And dad was planning on turning her anyway."

"How'd he do that?"

"He bit her and the venom slowly and painfully changed her into a vampire.

I shivered. All of the sudden Nessie stiffened. I blinked and by the time my eyes opened, she was in a defensive crouch in front of me.

"It's nice to finally meet you Nessie. I've heard a lot about you."

Hehehe I hate cliffys as much as you but I just had to stop there. I promise the next chapter will be longer!! Don't forget to review!!
