Miriam Shephards' daughter

Chapter 1&2

I'm just calling it chapters of the book now. Hope you enjoy if I make errors please point them out.

Elizabeth's POV
I was finally at the Adele concert Uncle Mat took me but I don't think he was really listening I danced and jumped around like everyone else but could help but feel overwhelmed I understand why vampires don't go to concerts it's suuuuuuper loud.

Then I felt a tap on my shoulder Uncle Mat stood there I yell "What's wrong?" He shushes me "I just heard that a witch opened up Ashmole 782." My eyes go wide he grabs my hand and leads me through the crowd at least the concert was almost over.

We got into the Jaguar and drove to the lab. When we got through security I shoved my id back in my pocket and went to grab my coat. I shoved it on the white making me look paler than I am. I clipped my id to the pocket and went to go find Maman.

When I got to Matthew's large office everyone was already sitting down. "Well I was at the concert with Lizzy two witches were talking about how a witch in the Bodlien library opened a "book" and magic was spread throughout the library. They had sensed Ashmole 782. I need to figure out how to get that book."

I sat down by Marcus "Witches can be gullible why don't put on the charm and ask for it?" I question. "Do you think that will work?" He asked. "Yes why would I suggest it if it wouldn't." He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "Fine we will try that." I smiled.

Everyone filed out of the office me and Maman being last, she grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into her, "How was the concert?"
"It was good really loud but good." She smiles and went back downstairs to the lab. I went to my smaller office which was still quite large.

I sat down at my desk and powered up my laptop, I waited it for it to load and opened my saved word document my half finished novel sat in front of me. It was about a girl who lost her parents and now had to take care of her brother and run from the FBI because her parents were spies.

I had written many novels before made the bestseller list a few times and still had trouble writing my books. I looked at my computer screen and saw the cursor flashing at me I took a deep breath closed my laptop and went downstairs. Science is how I clear my head Maman was extracting DNA from some bones I was looking for Marcus when a new pair of footsteps entered the lab.

A tall vampire came in "I am here to speak with Dr.Clairmont." He looked at me.
"Oh that's not me I'm Dr.Shephard 2.0. I shook his hand and looked around for Matthew I found him sitting at a computer "Hey some vampire is asking for you." He gets up and ruffles my hair, "Thanks Lizzy." I flatten my hair and glare at him, he just chuckles.

"Hello I'm Dr.Clairmont this is Dr.Shephard, on my left is Dr.Whitmore and you have already met the younger Dr.Shephard. Please follow me." Matthew turns on his heal and I go to Marcus, "Any idea who that is?" I whisper in a really small voice in his ear. He shook his head and we caught up to them.

"You really want to do this? I mean I thank you for wanting to do this but you don't have to." Matthew looks surprised. "Please it would be an honour to do this. I have done research on your research I trust you will use it wisely." The other vampire said rolling up his sleeve.

"But maybe you shouldn't have the young one in here?" He looked at me.
"Listen bub I'm probably older than you."
"You can not be over 700 years." He laughs.
"How about try 1100?" He looks at me shocked and continues to roll up his sleeve.

Matthew cleans the spot and enters the sharp to his vein asking him to unclench his fist. It takes longer for vampires to give blood than warmbloods because our hearts pump every two minutes. When we have enough for two bottles Maman does a cheek swab, labels the vials, and we send the dude out.

I take one vial and go to a quiet place testing the blood. 2-3 hours later I finish the report and hand it to Maman. I go back up to my office change and sit down at my laptop again. I open it and this time I can write I write for an hour till I lean back.

(Her lovely outfit kind of like Miriam)

I get up and clip my id to my cardigan and walk downstairs "When are we going to the Bodlien?" I ask. Matthew comes out of his study dressed like a person in public with no lab coat. "I wonder if they will let me in with my ten year old pass?" He says shoving it into his pocket. I'm a regular at the Bodlien so I have a up to date card. I shrug my shoulders and we walk out of the lab.

We reach the library and they let me in they scrutinize Matthew's a little more and let him in, it's pretty much empty except for a couple of people Matthew is staring at a witch trying to get a book. He walks up the stair case and catches it when she uses magic to pull it down.

He mentions her name, Diana Bishop, the famous writer on science history he introduces himself and gives her his card I pretend to be looking through the stacks when he mentions her books guess Uncle Matt did his research.

I still browse the stacks but I can hear Diana's breathing quicken. I look back and she is frozen so as the lovely person I am I interrupt their conversation, "Dr.Bishop, I'm Dr.Elizabeth Shephard, I am so honoured to meet you I've read both your books at least five times." I outstretch my hand and she shakes it. "Anyways thank you for your time I bet you have things to do papers to write." I pull Uncle Matt downstairs and out of the Library.

"What happened to charm? You just scared her." I stare at him, he sighs and shakes his head "She's to cautious and her adrenaline was so high I tried." I grumble something non understandable even to a vampire and walk to the Jaguar.

I combined two chapters but it's okay. I will make minor changes to the book to make sure Elizabeth is included so suck it up if you don't like it. Anyways enjoy your day eat something more than coffee.
