Moving on ~ a morganville fanfiction

part 7

Claire sat on the sofa next to Shane and used Google to look up the story of hybrids and mind reading vampires.Which as weird as it sounds probably wasn't the weirdest thing Claire hawks done in her 2 (almost 3 ) years in Morganville.

Michael and Eve were on the other chair watching a film on tv and from what Claire picked up was some kind of horror film about a family who think their house is haunted but it turns out the boy is. Which is pretty weird.But then if vampires and ghosts and werewolves who cam read minds exist its probably not the weirdest thing in the world.

Shane kept trying to make conversation with Claire but she was way too into her research. Eventually Shane stopped trying to get through to Claire and gave up trying to male any conversations.

Claire only broke out of the zone when she heard a creak from upstairs and a door close.It sounded as though it was shanes old room. Were Ruby was.

The four members of the glass house looked at each other, then stopped to look at Claire.

"what?" she asked although she knew what was coming.

"someone should go and see if she's okay." Michael said and smiled.

"yer someone should" Claire said.

Nobody said anything.

"why me? I'm doing some research to try and get this crazy vampire away from us."

"Because it should be a girl" Shane said.

"Eves a girl aswell" Claire pointed out.

"but Eve is all dressed up for all year Halloween and waking up after being bitten by a vampire to eve might be a bit too much. no offense Eve."

"lots taken Mr Mcstabby" eve said with a smile on her face.

Claire reluctantly got off the sofa and went to the stairs.As she trekked up the stairs Eve,Michael and Shane were all watching her. so she did the only thing that they understood and flipped them off. They all smiled and turned back to the tv.Because obviously that was more important then the stranger upstairs who almost died.

The hallway was basically pitch black except from the small bit of escaping light from the bathroom.She went to the door and knocked on it.She heard Ruby gasp and come over to the door and unlocked it.

when she opened the door her hair was styled like she d just for put of bed. Well either she has just styled it( that's what everyone seemed to Do with their hair styled it to look slightly messy. which Claire didn't understand but then she didnt normally understand fashion trends.) or she hadn't brushed it when she got up.Her fave was a range if colours from the bruises and there was dry blood on her clothes from her neck.She looked really pale and had make-up smudged over her face.

"um hi" Claire said awkwardly."I'm Claire." god this was awquard.

"do you need anything?"Claire asked.

Ruby smiled at claaire or tryed to.But her lip spilt and started to bleed everywere.she liked really embarrassed.

"Its cool,that's how I first looked when I joined the glass house.Well actually Eve,the one who is kinda goth, met me crying on the pavement outside the house then ny lip split.I was also pretty colourful.wait here ill be right back."she turned around straight into Miranda and squealed.

"omg Miranda what are you doing Here I though you wernt coming back till tommorow?"Claire said still trying to calm down her heart rate.Miranda was staring at Ruby with cold hard eyes.

"Mir..." Claire whispered.There  was some loud footsteps coming up the stairs. which was clearly Eve being sent up by the boys.When she made it up the stairs she stopeld dead In her tracks when she saw Miranda.

"I need to speak to you now.in private." Miranda said. She looked more grown up and healthier than when Claire Had first met her. The fifth member of the Glass house was wearing a denim skater skirt with a plain right crop top. she had make-up on and her hair was done up in a bun. she grabbed Claire's hand and started to walk toward her room she grabbed Eve's arm as she walked pass her. Her grip was super strong but Claire didn't resist her hold, something was wrong she knew it and Miranda knew what it was.

She let go of their arms when she reached the place were the secret door wasand moved the painting to click the button.The door opened silently and mirada motioned for them to go up.

There was no lights on in the secret room so it was black.The door closed behind Claire and Miranda and it went pitch black.Miranda pushed pass Claire and Eve.

"god can no-one else see in the dark." which they all knew the answer to. Miranda was a ghost. But at night she could materialize into a human, well a half human.She was attached to the house and it kept her alive. Like it had once done to Claire and Michael but they couldn't leave the house like miranda.

One of the tiffany lights in the room turned on making the room light up in lots if different colour. Miranda Had made the room seem more like her.She had painted 3 off the rooms walls black which only emphasised how gloomy and small the room was. The last wall had wallpaper which was black and white floral and a full length mirror. she had a massive book case with loads of books and Dvds on and lots of posters of bands Claire had never heard of. Mayday Parade , Marianas Trench and there was film posters scattered on the walls.One for divergent, the hunger games series, the fault in our stars. There was also posters of celebritys like Jennifer Lawrence and Theo james. she went and sat on the leather arm chair.

"Don't trust them." she said. always straight to the point with Miranda.

Claire and Eve just stared at Miranda.

"He isn't who he says he is.Neither is she. you have to act like you think they are though.Or you will all be in danger. He isn't safe.Don't give him the cure. you have to kill him. Don't tell Ameilie." Miranda Said in a big rush.

"promise me Claire you won't give hin what he wants. you have to kill him.don't trust the girl either she's part of the plan. I don't now what the plan is but promise me." Claire and Eve nodded. Miranda looked relieved. They all just sat there on the silence until Shane came up to announce that tea was ready.

When Claire walked past him he grabbed her and pulls her into a hug.he kissed her on the head. He smelt like chilli and just well... Shane. He gave Claire a questioning look like he was trying to ask what Miranda wanted.She just shook her head "later". she whispered into his ear.

They all went downstairs for dinner and Ruby was sat at the table next to Michael laughing.

Eve, Claire and Miranda didn't really say anything through dinner. But the other 3 said enough to make up for them not talking it felt Like Ruby was flirting with Shane and Michael and you could
