When Alex was finally discharged from morganvilles hospital it was dark out. For Shane and Claire, it wasn't tht scary anymore, they still had Ameile's special protection against morganvilles ,no very secret, secret.They didn't think about how dark it was until they realised that Alex had stopped straight I'm his tracks just before the sliding doors of the hospital.
"you can't go out there..."Alex whispered.His voice sounded quiet and there was no emotion behind it.it was asthough he was in a trance.
"you've got to...." claire said as. she slowley approached Alex.
"if your with us you will be fine,our roommates Eve and Michael are sat in the car just out there. we have protection against the the dark." she held out her hand and Alex took her hand.He had big hands, they were dry and his fingers were thick.his nails had been bitten down and you could tell they had been bleeding from where he had bitten them down.
They slowly walked down the big steps leading up to the morganvilles hospital.Claire didn't understand why there were stairs leading up to a hospital, surley people with broken legs didn't want go battle the stairs? the only slope to get up was inbeteeen these massive bushes and the wall of the hospital and it was dark. It reminded her of the alley going to myrnins lab, it looked unsafe and like there were monsters waiting at The end.
Once they reached the end of the stairs shane stopped protectivly in front of Claire and Alex for reasons claire wasn't sure off untill she looked over his shoulders. He was protecting them from myrnin which was strange because he wouldnt hurt Claire because he was cured of the bishop virus.
Then Claire realised why. Myrnin had blood splattered all over his clothes and a dribble of it coming out of his mouth.There was a strange look I'm his eyes.
"now now boy please move aside I simply want to talk to Claire"
She wasn't sure What had happened to him in the half am hour between now and when they last saw him in the hospital but whatever it was it was bad.
myrnin blinked and the look in his eyes dissapeared.
"Please Claire its urgent" he pleaded.
A car horn beeped at them from slightly in the distance and they all looked to see Eve's car sitting in the dimm light of the lamppost.
"take Alex to the car" she softly said to Shane, "ill be one minute" Shane was giving Claire a look that said 'please don't go'.
"please" she whispered in his ear and went up on her tiptoes to kiss him in the cheek.
He helped Alex to the car supporting him under his arm.
Claire slowely walked towards myrnin.He wiped the blood away from his chin using the sleeve of his shirt.It was horrible how messy he was, he had obviously fed but not using the packed stuff donated by people but straight from the tap.( otherwise known as human necks)
Myrnin coughed and blood splattered all over Claire's clothes.The blood was his.
He was coughing up blood.was that even possible for a vampire?
"nice thanks for that are you choking or"
"Claire I'm sorry" he sounded strange. Claire looked into his eyes and saw that he was worried.
"its fine ill put it in a hot wash and it will come out" she said trying to make him less worried.
"I tried to tell you Claire but you were busy I'm sorry Claire I'm.." she knew what was coming.There was something I'm his eyes that told her something she didn't want to be true.
"No myrnin don't, please don't say it... your a vampire your immortal right?" her sight was going blury from the tears filling her eyes she was shaking and she felt strange.She couldn't believe what he was about to say it couldnt be true he was immortal? he should live forever? right?
"Vampires are immortal Claire, but maybe not all the time,but you can help me Claire remember when you died and " he coughed again and blood came rushing out of his mouth.he collapsed onto his knees and couldnt stand back up, he was weak, which was wrong.
Claire bent down and looked into his eyes.They were blank and his skin was going grey.she put her hands on his face "myrnin just tell me what I can do! I need you please, please stay with me tell me what I can do, myrnin!" she was crying now she couldn't help it and in the dimm light she thought she could see tears in his eyes.
"bring me back Claire, like I did to you Im not ready to die I need to.." he coughed again and Claire wrapped him into a hug.she could feel the blood tricking onto her top and even though it was the middle of the night and she was sat on the floor with blood all over her it wasn't the risk of being bitten that was scaring her, it was knowing she was about to lose Myrnin.
He was hugging her back and trying to speak but he couldn't because there was too much blood coming out of his mouth.
"sorry... please try to" he stopped half way through his sentence his voice was quiet and sounded small He went limp and she knew he was gone no matter how much she didn't want it to be true.
The crazy vampire boss who she loved and was one of her best friends was limp in her arms.The immortal vampire was dead.In her arms.
Claire was crying with tiny little gasping breaths.He said she could help him, she had to hold onto that and do this one thing for him.
