Our Claire Bear (A Morganville Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

Eve

We sat on the sofa, me and Michael, cuddled up watching T.V when all of a sudden the door was nearly knocked of it's hinges by a knock.

"I'll get it!" came a shout upstairs. Shane came plodding down to the door.

I listened as there was nothing much good on T.V ( How can there be so many channels and nothing good to watch?) I heard him open the door.

"What the- Oh my God! Oh my God Myrnin! What the hell have you done to to her?!" Shane's voice boomed.

Me and Michael rushed to the door. What I saw broke my heart.

It was Claire. Her body was limp and her arms were lay on top of her stomach. She was pale, really pale. She looked almost dead.

But then I looked at her neck. Her pale little neck had two sharp fang bites showing up against her pearly white skin. She had been bitten.

I looked up at Shane. His face was full of sadness it was worse than the time he saw Claire dead on the living room floor, her neck snapped in half by Magnus. I could see it in his eyes. He wasn't going to say anything. So I did.

"Got peckish did we?" I screamed at Myrnin.

"Eve, wait." I felt Michael's hand on my arm, it soothed me a little. But why was he trying to stop me? I turned my anger on him.

"No Michael! This is our Claire he's just drained. Our Claire Bear! Does that mean anything to you?" Tears were streaming down my face now and I couldn't control my desperate sobs.

"Of course it does! But Myrnin didn't bite Claire! I can't distinguish the smell of who did it but it wasn't Myrnin." He explained.

My mind was racing with questions. Who bit her? When? Where? Was Myrnin there? Could he have stopped this? Can we save her?

"Who bit her then?" I asked, my anger fading as I tried to gather my thoughts.

"Myrnin?" Michael said and looked at him. We all looked at him. His eyes were glossy which surprised me. He clothes were smoking from the sun as he was standing in its glare. He didn't seem to care.

"I can smell Bishops bloodline on her but it's a female. But not Amelie." His eyes dropped to Claire's face.

Shane who had not said anything up to this point moved aside to let Myrnin inside. This surprised us all as we all know of Shane's jealously and hate for Myrnin.

He came in and set Claire down on the sofa.

"Get Amelie." He said to Michael. Michael moved towards to portal and stepped into the wall.
