Claire's POV:
Myrnin has been acting weird lately. Well, weirder than normal. My crazy vampire boss is beyond weird, in a good way I mean. At least sometimes when he's not mad. But lately he's just become even weirder. Between the light blush that's barely noticable on his pale face, to the constant apologies to Ada, his long dead girlfriend/vamp computer. I wonder if he's having another episode. Dispite his weird behavior, I'm worried about him. Sure he's my boss but lately I've been having those doubts. Doubts of my feeling towards Shane, and doubts of my boss-employee relationship with Myrnin. I think that's how I found myself in this situation. Walking down the dusty ally to the lab at noon when I'm supposed to be at the university for AP chem.
I open the old shack door and head down the stairs as usual. But somehow it's not. I don't hear Myrnin's usual movement, even the lights are off. Bad sign. I make it to the bottom without sighting neither my beloved boss, or his crazy bunny slippers. Wait beloved boss? Why did I just think that? I hear a light murmur near the small room in the back. I head towards it, avoiding the hazards of books and broken glass. I open the door slowly, ready for an attack just in case. You can never be too careful in Morganville. I peek into the room to see a still form on the old cot. I make out Myrnin's hair and long legs, which are curled into the fetal position. I open the door wide enough for me to squeeze through. I walk slowly to the still Myrnin. Careful not to make sudden movements.
"Myrnin? Are you okay?" I ask quietly, fear leaking through in my voice. I hear a few incoherent murmurs. I'm now standing over the still body of my bipolar boss. I sit cross legged on the floor and look closer at him. After a few minutes I realize he's asleep. One of the rare moments when a vampire sleeps and I happen to stumble upon it. I look at Myrnin's sleeping face and stare in awe. I always knew Myrnin was handsome but when he's still and asleep I get to notice more of his features. His shoulder length brown hair falls in light curls around him, some even covering his face. His light marble skin is perfect, his light crows feet are gone when he sleeps. He looks a mere seventeen and absolutely gorgeous. I exhale a breath I didn't realize I held. I stroke his hair subconsciencely and he stirs lightly.
"Claire.." his velvet voice whispers. I gasp and take my hand quickly away.
"Oh Myrnin I didn't realize you was up. I'm sorry I shouldn't be here. I'll go if you-"
"Claire don't go. Don't leave me.." he whispers again. I sigh in relief, he's not mad.
"Okay Myrnin I-"
"Claire please! Don't go. I'm sorry I left you for bishop. I'm sorry I let Ada hurt you. Please don't leave me." It's when he says this I realize he's still asleep. I stare in silence as he apologies. "Claire please! Don't. I need you. I love you." He whispers, clutching his knees closer. I gasp loudly and as soon as I do, he bolts upright, fangs down and eyes red. I get up and run to the door afraid. I get to the steps before he's infront of me. I flinch and look at him. His eyes are back to his normal chocolate brown, but are filled with fear. Why is he afraid? "Claire, I'm sorry."
