The Bite

Chapter 3

A Memory From Claire:

I remember the first day in elementary school. When I had no friends....I mean absolutely no one to talk to.

I was standing at the bus stop waiting for it to come. I saw two little boys, maybe about my age coming my way. So I scooted over a little, to avoid having them talk to me. That did not work.

The one with dark,brown, shaggy hair said, "Hi i'm Scott, this is my best friend Stiles." I looked at them then smiled.

End of Memory

Claire's Pov:

I can still remember the first day I ever met Scott & Stiles. That was probably the best day of my life because I found two best friends.

Eventually as I got older I started liking Scott. I never said anything because I was always afraid that he wouldn't feel the same way.

Now that we are in high school I at least thought I had a chance. I guess he is too preoccupied with Allison to know I exist.

Lydia's party is tonight and I would've gone with Scott but he's going with Allison. Instead I figured I would ask Stiles.

I see Stiles at his locker, so I walk over to him. "hey Stiles! Are we going to Lydia's party...?" His head snapped in my direction and he answered with "Hell yes we are! ....but i'm there for you because I know how much of a jackass Scott...."

I saw Scott heading our way, I quickly signaled Stiles to stop talking before Scott could hear anything. Even though he is a werewolf that has super hearing.

He said "Derek doesn't want me to go to that party tonight with Allison." I rolled my eyes then said "He can't do that!" Stiles jumped in "dude I agree it's the full moon tonight."

I slowly started to realize that I was now a female werewolf. "Yeah I'm gonna stay in tonight. I'll use my basement."

Scott and Stiles exchanged weird glances and I chose to walk away. I didn't want to hear Scott talking about her.

Scott's Pov:

"What's up with Claire? She seems a little off, don't you think?" Stiles looked at me with a funny look on his face. "Seriously? you have no idea?"

I shook my head "wait Stiles what do you mean?" He said to me "Just forget it alright. But I really think you shouldn't go tonight. Something could happen."

I laughed saying "nothing is going to happen, trust me Stiles." I walked away so I can go through all of my classes.

School was over, I had to get home so I could get ready for tonight. I actually can't believe I have a date with the prettiest girl in the whole school.

I just picked her up and I was in shock at how beautiful she was. Everything about her was perfect in every single way.

We're at the party dancing and having a great time, when I start to feel it. I can sense the full moon, it's causing me to shift.

I started getting dizzy and I was sweating a lot. I stumbled away from Allison saying "Im not feeling good. I'll be right back." She yelled back to me "Scott what's wrong?"

I got to my car and drove off going home. When I got there, I went into my bathtub, turning on the cold water. I thought that maybe it would help or something I have no idea why.

It was kind of slow, but I could feel my nails growing, the hair on my face appeared. Then I looked in the mirror and saw my fangs coming out also my eyes started to glow.

Claire's Pov:

I was in my basement trying to set everything up since I was about to turn into a homicidal werewolf. I found some chains in a box, although I'm not sure why they are in my house, it's all I got.

I tried to chain myself up, but I could already feel it starting to affect me. I felt pain in my fingers, as my claws began to grow. My heart started beating faster and faster with every second that passed.

I tried walking towards my chains but I noticed my legs were about to give out on me. I fell to my knees and I felt my eyes change color. After that I fell on the floor and my vision went black.

I woke up the next day and I was upstairs, in my bed. I opened my eyes and I saw that my claws were out, then I looked at my stomach, there was blood everywhere.

I started freaking out, so I called Stiles. "Stiles can you please get here? I-im scared and I need someone right now." I was kind of hyperventilating at the moment. "Claire! Just wait right there. I'll be right over"

I heard Stile's jeep pull up to my driveway. That's when I hear it....his heart beat. Scott? what is he doing here? I called Stiles not him.

Scott's Pov:

Stiles and I ran into Claire's room and I freaked out when I saw her hands and stomach covered in blood. I ran over to her side "Claire?! what happened, are you okay?"

She nodded her head no. "Tell me, please I want to help." She stopped sobbing and started talking to me and Stiles.

"Well I blacked out as I shifted. Im not sure why, but I did. Anyways I woke up here and didn't remember anything. Until after I called you Stiles." You could feel the tension in the room. "I remembered that the whole night I was fighting the urge to kill someone."

I backed up a little and Stiles said "Well yeah because you're a werewolf!" "Not helping Stiles!" He backed off a bit then she kept talking.

"I really wanted to kill someone, just let out everything that was bothering me. But I didn't because I held it back. I controlled it Scott."

"Claire how did you do it?" she smiled then said "You, I thought of you. Because of how strong my feelings are for you, I was able to control my impulse to kill."

Holy shit.... what is happening right now? "Scott I really care about you and I just wanted you to know, you saved me." She kissed my cheek, then I saw a tear roll down her face.

I held her close "Claire, I'm always here for you. No matter what." She stood up then said as she was at her bedroom door, "That's funny because you can't exactly love us both."

She left the room, leaving Stiles and I there. Stiles said "Is it hitting you yet?!" I jumped up from her bed and said "She's in love with me...."

**** Things just got really complicated for Scott and Claire. I wonder what will happen to them. Tell me what you guys think will happen. Hope you like the book so far. ****
