Ok so I didn't get my 20 reviews, but I was allowed back on the computer finally! And I thought I would let you off the hook. And in case you didn't hear, Angela's a witch is going to be my next story after I finish Kim's.

Thank you to:

A Claire/Quil Imprint Story

Chapter 18 Imprinting

Review

"Quil what's imprinting?"

"Where'd you hear that?"

"I overheard Kim say it this morning and Bella said it too."

"Come on. Let's give them some privacy," Rachel ordered.

Leah and Embry were asleep and everyone else had cleared out.

"I was hoping you wouldn't find out about this until later. Imprinting is, well, it's like umm, finding your soul mate?" he said it like a question.

"Soul mate!" What?! I was supposed to fall in love with Quil?! I loved him, but like a brother.

"Calm down Claire! It's not like that. I'll be your brother, your friend, anything you want, I will do anything for you. I can't lie to you, I won't let you get hurt, I can't be away from you for any length of time, that's why I've been in your life since you were two," he insisted.

"You imprinted on me when I was two?" I asked in disbelief.

"Ya. You were visiting Emily with your sister when I saw you. You were suddenly the center of the universe. It was like the whole world shifted and I was revolving around you, not the sun. It was different for me. Sam imprinted on Emily, Jared on Kim, and Jake was so love sick with Bella that it was like he imprinted on her."

Whoa. So I was going to marry him one day? Ok, eww. I don't think about him that way, at least not yet. Maybe when I'm older, but not now. I'm only 14 for crying out loud! "So did Jake imprint on Nessie?"

"Ya, right when she was born Jake imprinted on her. She looked like she was 18 when she was really 7. So it was different for him too."

"And Paul on Rachel?"

"Right before Jake."

"But they all got married!" I insisted.

"Except for Jake and Nessie."

"But they're going out!"

"It doesn't mean we have to go out. Remember, I'll be whoever you want me to be. I don't have to be your boyfriend. Rachel, Kim, Nessie, and Emily all wanted Sam, Jared, Paul, and Jake to be their boyfriends. If you want me to be your boyfriend, than I will. You can always change your mind later. Nothings set in stone."

"Promise?" I didn't want to have to make a choice that would affect the rest of my life now when I wasn't sure of what I wanted.

He smiled. "I promise."

"Thanks, but the whole imprinting thing is still weird."

"Ya, I guess."

"Why does it happen?"

"Imprinting?"

"Ya."

"Well, Billy thinks it makes stronger wolves and Sam thinks it's just a way of finding your true love."

True love? At two?Ew."But what do you think?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm just used to it by now. Having found you 12 years ago. My whole reason for existing is making you happy."

"What would make me happy now is for you to get better."

"Whatever you want Claire, whatever you want."

Ok I know it's a short chapter and you've all been waiting for it since like the very beginning, but that's my imprinting chapter and this is the last chapter. The next and final chapter *sniff* is the last chapter :( So remember, if you give a review, you get a preview, and I'll try to get the last chapter out this weekend, and at the latest, before Christmas.
