Morganville Vampires: New Mayor

Chapter 15

Shane's P.O.V.

Michael looked even paler than normal, if that was even possible for a vampire. He was clutching Eve firmly yet still so gently, as if she was going to disintegrate at his touch. We pulled up at the hospital at lightning speed. Michel jumped out of the car with Eve in his arms and ran, full vampire speed, into the building. I climbed out of the back seat (come on, it's not as if I'd have shotgunned the seat next to Count Crackular) walked around the car, pushed Mike's door shut and went to open Claire's for her. Mr. McFangs had beaten me to it! I gave him the death glare and turned around taking Claire's hand as she turned around to thank what was now thin air and with a loud screech the car was half way down the road. "Bloody parasite thinks he's so fangtastic!" I muttered under my breath, a little annoyed by Myrnin's abrupt departure. I pulled Claire to the hospital doors and it felt like forever before they opened wide enough for us both to step through, Michael and Eve were nowhere to be seen, which hopefully meant that they were already at a bed getting Eve sorted out. Claire stopped me just as we were approaching the receptionist, "Shane are you you ok?" She asked, a worried frown appearing on her perfect forehead."Yeah, I will be. Lets just make sure Eve's ok, I need to know if she's ok" I said, but my eyes must of told Claire something different as she squeezed my hand tight and gave me an 'its all going to be ok' smile, which also said that she understood and that we would talk about it later. I swear she reads me like a book, it's sort of creepy but it can be extremely sexy.

Our rushed conversation with the receptionist lasted up to 3 minutes at the most, which, to our surprise is the quickest conversation we have ever had with anyone at morganville's 'finest' hospital in town, considering my 'bad temper' and all. The receptionist led us into a small white room with lost of sterile bleeping machines, attached to those machines was Eve. Laying battered and bruised with her usually chalk white face blackened with ash. 'It's ok' I thought, 'she's made it further than Alyssa.'
