Morganville Vampires: New Mayor

Chapter 13

Claire's P.O.V.

I heard a shrill ringing in pocket, I pulled my phone out my phone and answered it after a quick glance at the ID. Shane's rushed voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ring Myrnin, we're stuck in the sun we need to get Eve to the hospital, fast!"

"Ok," I replied my feet still pounding along the pavement as I hung up and dialled Myrnin's number.

"Ahh Claire," came Myrnin's voice from the phone speaker, "how are you this fine day, these slippers are so very comfortable, thank you so..."

"Myrnin, Eve's hurt they're stuck in the sun we need you to pick them your in your car," I rushed still running.

"What has the silly girl done now," he wondered aloud.

"It doesn't matter at the moment," I said exasperated, "please Myrnin, we need to help Eve."

"Ok Claire if I must, although I do quite like..."

"Myrnin!" I exclaimed.

"Sorry, where are they?" He asked.

"Two blocks around from the music store," I told him.

"Ok, I will be there in a jiffy," he replied and hung up.

I kept running until I rounded a corner and saw flames and two figures kneeling next to a third in the shade. I sprinted towards them and fell to my knees next to Shane and he put his arm around my waist.

"Is she ok?" I whispered as an ear splitting screech echoed around the block as Myrnin's car squealed around the corner at a ridiculous speed.
