Morganville Vampires: New Mayor

Chapter11

Shane's P.O.V.

I ran, my heart pounding through my chest. The rain was poured down around me saturating my clothes and lubricating the pavement. Blood pumped through my body as my feet pounded along the pavement as fast as they could. Thoughts swam through my head, 'Is Eve ok?', 'Who did this?', 'Is Claire still with Myrnin?' Ahhh! I hate Myrnin! My passionate hate for him drove me forwards. I know it's petty but the way he looks at her... I let my thoughts drift. The bag on my back was heavy, it chafed against my back. I turned the corner and a big black hearse came into view. My heart leapt into my mouth. My head was swimming. I saw hot white flames escaping from the hearse. 'Alyssa' I thought 'no it was Eve in there!' My adrenaline kicked in. I raced forwards and grabbed the car handle a hot pain seared through my hand but I didn't let go. The last time I let the pain beat I never saw my sister again. I wrenched the door open and pulled Eve's unconscious body from the burning car.
