Claire POV
Darkness it surrounded me, then I saw it, a small glow appeared. I willed my feet to move and the glow grew brighter and brighter until I stood in front of a fire dancing in the darkness. Except this fire looked like a woman dancing to the rhythm of a soundless drum.
"Hello?" am I really speaking to a fire?
"Hello child" the sound of the fire crackling made Claire jump
Claire froze she hadn't expected the fire to respond
"Who are you, what are you?" Claire asked
"Dear child I am apart of you, as we speak your physical form rests and is regaining its strength. I am the fire spirit that lives within you much like the wolves you love so dear, a protector of the tribe."
"But how, I don't understand what is happening to me I turned into a wolf made of fire!"
"Yes, child I know it is not my favorite form our ancestors use to soar in the clouds but its suits your soul, you are a descendent of the very first fire protector she was known as the phoenix. You my dear will be known as the wolf in legends to come. I don't know why the ancestors chose you to receive this gift but I assume it has something to do with righting the wrongs of the past."
"wrongs of the past? Ancestors? I have never heard the stories of you..." Claire was so confused what was going on!
"you wouldn't dear the wolf protectors made sure of that. But rest now child there is much to learn I leave you now but the spirit of fire lives within you, you are a protector do not back down from the wolves my dear."
…
Quil and Sam left the old women's house in a state of shock. Everything they knew felt wrong now. The Phoenix is the reason the third wife died…. Their ancestors hid her e
"What does this mean Sam?"
"I don't know-"
Just then Sam's phone rang it was Emily
"Emily whats wrong everything okay?!" Sam asked
"She's awake"
Before Sam could even respond Quil was on his paws running through the forest. He had to get to Claire.
…
I woke up feeling dazed and thirsty. God how long was a sleeping for? My muscle felt sore but there was a coiled power in them. Claire could feel it waiting to break through she felt like she could rip a vampire in half this was so strange to her.
"Aunt Emily?" Claire's voice sounded like gravel oh god how long had she been out?!
The pots and dishes getting washed downstairs were dropped and Claire could hear her aunt running up the stairs to get to her. Just then Claire's door swung open and her Aunt stood
"Claire your awake!"
"Yeah?" Again, her voice was so horse like she smoked a pack of cigarettes.
"Sweetie are you ok?! You've been asleep for 3 days hunny how are you feeling?
"3… Days?"
"Yeah sweetie we've been worried sick, after your…gift…appeared we had no idea what was going on with you." The worry and love on my Aunts face made Claire feel horrible she hated people worrying about her especially about something she couldn't control well not yet at least.
"oh god I had the strangest dream I dreamt I spoke with something call the fire spirit it said she lives within me like the wolves in the boys that I'm…I'm a protector now."
Emily's eyes widen and she reached for her phone.
"we need to call your uncle try and remember everything about this dream of yours."
