Hey everyone!!! I really want to start by saying sorry for not updating for a LOT of weeks. I just couldn't find the time and energy to put into a fanfic, and I'm really sorry for it… anyway… here is chapter 3 which is going to be really long!!! Btw.. quil's pov, and it is set a few hours after she left Washington.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the fabulous characters I write about… except the ones I made up myself.

Quil's POV

I can't believe my beautiful angel actually left the La Push. It has only been a few hours since she got on that airplane, but I can't help it… I'm so sad at our losses. At lease I was able to give her that stuffed animal of me. She really shouldn't have to live around so much danger like the rest of the imprints do… she's only a little girl, but I miss her like hell. I wish she was back in my arms safe and sound, where I know I could protect her.

Geez, dude, get a life already… we know she's gone, boo hoo, get over it already!!

Did I mention I was in wolf-form right now… with Paul.

Well, paul, maybe you would understand if you actually had some compassion in your black hole of a heart.

Paul was in a really bad mood today, and decided to take it out on me. In his head he showed me a 1000 ways my lovely little angel could get killed on her way or in Chicago. I was so scared by the time he stopped I swore I could have ran all the way to he if I needed to. I was actually about to when Sam phased.

I need to find a way to… woah! What the hell is wrong with you Paul? Sam finally realized what was going on and stopped thinking about himself.

I can't stand this kid moaning about how terrible it is that she moved away! I hate Paul.

Paul I want you to phase back and stay that way. Go back to my place.. Thank god paul was going away.

Paul phased back and it was just me and Sam.

Quil, you can't run, you know that, the tribe needs you.

I know that but I don't think I can stand to be away from her, and it's only been a few hours, how will I survive years?!?!

I don't know. Just think about the positive. Her parents said that this job wasn't permanent. They didn't even sell their house here. They will be back in a few years. Keep thinking about that. Things will get better fast. Don't worry.

Sam, I cant NOT worry! She's miles away from me, and I can't protect her. Hell, I don't even know her exact location. I'm scared for her.

Just live through the next few years, and it'll be ok. Look, Emily wanted me to tell you and Paul to get to our house for dinner. It's getting late.

Ok, and I really hope you are right about everything.

Clair's POV (6 months later)

I love school. Did I tell you that? Well, I love it! We always color, and play games, and have recess. It's so much fun! Why didn't anyone like it where I lived before? Where did I live before anyway? In La Shove or something? Anyway… Now I'm bestest friends with Rosie, and we are enemies with Mathew, Elizabeth, and Daniel. They are mean. All they do is be mean. Well, like this one time---

"So Claire, what letter comes after D?"

Did I mention I was in school right now? And I was supposed to be paying attention to something I already knew?

"yes, it is E"

"good Claire! Get a sticker to put in your sticker book!" Mrs. Smith's voice was still really perky, and it was only her. The art teacher had a normal voice, and so did the librarian. It was kind of weird. I'm not supposed to say weird because it is a bad word, but I do anyway.

In class, we finished the alphabet, and everyone said a letter. Then it was time to go home. I still wonder why my class goes home at 12:00 and all the other kids go home at 3:00. I wish I went home at 3. Then I could be at school more. At home mommy and daddy kept fighting. It was really scary. I didn't like it. When they did I would go to my room and hug Quil the wolf until I went to sleep really late at 11:00. Whenever mommy and daddy didn't fight, they were really quiet and didn't look at each other.

Last night after they finished fighting I went downstairs to get some water and I heard them talking. They kept saying the word divorce. I wondered what it meant, so I looked in a dictionary, like Quil taught me to. Wait a minute… Quil? As in Quil the Wolf? He doesn't talk. Well… maybe he did one time, and told me to look in dictionaries.

Anyway… I looked in the dictionary. The word divorce is really hard to spell, but I found it. It meant that mommy and daddy wouldn't live together anymore. But why? It was really weird.

Anyway, right now I'm walking outside, and waiting until mommy picks me up in her BMW. I was one of the last one's to get picked up, and when I got buckled up in my car-seat mommy didn't ask me how my day was. It was weird. Hehe I said weird again.

The car ride was really quiet and bumpy. When we got home mommy just sat in the car for a little while. Then she started to talk.

"Claire, honey, do you know what a divorce is?" she asked me.

"yeah, it is when 2 people don't live with each other anymore." I said. I didn't like where this was going.

"Well, yes, it actually is when two people who are married get unmarried." Her voice went really quiet and soft.

"Ok, but why are you telling me?" I was really curious.

"Claire, sweetie, mommy and daddy are getting a divorce." Mommy went really quiet, while I started crying.

Mommy then got out of the car and unbuckled me. I jumped out of the car and ran up to my bedroom.

I rushed under the sheets and hugged Quil the Wolf really tight. I couldn't bare to let go. I felt like he was the only good thing in my life right now. I stayed under the sheets the rest of the day. Only getting up when I got really hungry. I fell asleep late again. At 10:00.

The next morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes being made. I got dressed and slowly went down the stairs. In the kitchen mom was making pancakes with chocolate chips, and had strawberries and syrup on top. She knew those were my favorite, but I was still mad at her for getting the divorce so I made myself a bowl of cereal.

"Claire, eat some pancakes, they are your favorite! Chocolate chip with strawberries on top!" I just kept eating my cereal until it was time to go. I didn't even talk to my mom. Quil the Wolf says I am holding a grudge.

When I got to school I was just really mad at everyone. Things got worse when Elizabeth came up to me. "hey claire! I heard that YOUR parents were getting a divorce!" she was really loud about it, and she was being really mean.

"How do you know?" I asked her.

"my Daddy is a lawyer, and he said so." She couldn't even pronounce lawyer.

"so?" I asked her.

"Well, it means that you parents don't love you!" she started laughing in my face and I started crying and got really mad. Then I went after her and pushed her. She fell on the ground and started crying. I stuck my tongue out at her.

Then Mrs. Smith came over and started to take me into the school. I sat down at a desk in front of a man who had a sign that read 'principal' on his desk. I wonder what a principal was.

He started to talk to me about how pushing other people was wrong and I shouldn't do it, and that he was going to call my mom to take me home early today.

When mommy got to school she looked quiet like usual, but started yelling at me when we got into the car. It got really bad when we got home.

"Claire you do NOT hit other girls in your grade." Mommy yelled.

"Whatever." I said the new word I heard mommy say when she was fighting with daddy.

"Claire! Do not use that tone of voice with me! And where did you learn that word!" I knew I wasn't supposed to say words like that but whatever.

"I learned it from you mom." After that I walked up to my room and slammed the door as hard as I could. Then I heard mommy coming up and she walked into her own room. I decided I wasn't going to cry, and I picked out my clothes for tomorrow, did my homework, and took a nap. Things were not going the way I planned.

Quil's POV (starts the same day that Claire's POV started)

Ugh… another day to be without Claire. I have no idea how I have gone the past six months without her. I can barely live one day at a time. I'm always suicidal, and there are only a few things keeping me from finding a dagger. Most of them being Claire, but the other couple are my pack, and my family. I know that neither of them would be able to live without me. Life is way to confusing without my Claire.

The day went by without me really noticing it. I had school until 10:00 when I ditched to do my patrol. And I had lunch at Emily's at 12:00 that's where I am right now. Having lunch of… oh who the hell cares about what I have for lunch!

Then at around 12:30 I felt really weird, like I was really sad about something, but I wasn't feeling sad. It was really odd, and the feeling wouldn't go away.

The weird feeling stopped at around 10:00pm, the time Claire goes to bet when she is really sad. Oh my goodness. CLAIRE! That's why I am feeling so sad. Something happened to Claire, and I can tell because I am her imprint. I'm such a terrible imprint. I actually let her get this sad. I have to go find her and tell her I'm sorry. I must go find her!

I jumped out my 2nd floor winder and landed on my feet. I sprinted straight for the forest and phased the moment I hit the trees. I heard Sam, and Jared, and Leah yell at me for phasing when I was supposed to be getting sleep. I just ignored them and followed my directional sense to where Claire was. I was almost at the border of Washington when Sam decided to talk to me.

Quil. Listen to me for a minute! I didn't stop running but I made sure he knew I was listening. I don't care if you go to find her. Just make sure that you come back in a few days. And DON'T let her know you are there. Now hurry up before someone notices you!

Thanks sam. I told him. Then I focused on where I was going. I passed through many states, and finally made it to Illinois. The whole trip took less than 12 hours. I just wanted to find my little angel. I kept following my senses until I came to a neighborhood which was much nicer than anything I was used to. At least I was able to find some extra clothes someone had left on their porch. They looked like they would it me, so I found the cover of some trees and phased.

I ran to the house which had claire's scent all over it and looked in a few of the windows. No one was home. Perfect. I was able to get in through one of the 2nd floor windows, and I started to look around the house. It was definitely Claire's the fridge was covered with her artwork she made in school, but the whole kitchen reeked like alcohol. I never liked the fact that her dad drank. It wasn't a good environment for a little girl, but he is her dad. I went upstairs and found a room which was definitely Claire's. It was pink with a canopy bed. On the bed was the stuffed animal I gave her. She named it Quil the Wolf. Ironic, right.

I exited her room and found her parents' room. I went inside, hoping to find something that said where she went to school, or something. I looked on the desk which was there. I found divorce papers. Shit.

Divorce papers obviously meant something, and now I know why she was so upset. She didn't want her parents to get a divorce. It really wasn't fair to her. She needed both her parents. I was frozen in her parents room and was taken out of my trance when I heard the front door open, and Claire's voice echo up the stairs. She was coming home early from school. I listened closely to her conversation with her mom.

"Claire you do NOT hit other girls in your grade." Her mom scolded.

"Whatever." Was her response. Why was she acting like this?

"Claire! Do not use that tone of voice with me! And where did you learn that word!" I knew Claire wasn't supposed to say words like that, and that she usually didn't hit other people. Things were getting bad. Fast.

"I learned it from you mom." And with that she walked up the stairs and slammed the door. She really was smart for her age, wasn't she? I heard her mom coming up the stairs, and was going to come into her room, so I jumped out the window, and found a place to phase. Then I was off, into the woods to get back to La Push.

So… what did everyone think? Send me reviews reviews reviews! OH, and one other thing! I have decided to update once a month, and if I don't you can yell at me through PM's as much as you want, Ok. At least once a month. So this is the update for February, in march I will update around the 7th.
