Morganville Fanfiction
We Want Her Dead.
Shanes POV
It was 10:30am and everyone was already awake. Ive only just woken up. Yeah. Typically Shane. Well me and Claire had a busy night last night..if you know what I mean. I heard Eve giggling downstairs followed by Michaels manly laugh. Claire wasn't in bed next to me so I'm guessing shes either at one of her classes or downstairs with the two love birds. I'm guessing shes at TPU.
I walked down the stairs wearing my blue pyjama bottoms pulling my t-shirt on and as always, i was bear foot.
'What you two giggling at?' I ask as I sit on the sofa. Eve was sat on Michaels knee on Michaels favourite chair with her arms draped around his neck.
'Are we not aloud to giggle Collins?' Here comes Eves sarcastic remarks.
'Bite me, Rosser!' I said while I turned the TV on
'I wouldn't say that in this town bro..' Michael interupted.
Eve burst out laughing and me and Michael joined in. I love these days. Spending it together, laughing and giggling. Having fun. Would be better if Claire was here though, but shes at stupid collage. I don't see why she goes there anyway. I mean, shes smart enough anyway. And shes still going to Myrnin, so whats the point? oh well. I respect that she wants to go and I love her for it, no matter what.
Suddenly there was a loud bang from the kitchen. We all jumped and looked at each other worriedly.
'Stay here' Michael whispered as he lifted Eve of his knee. 'Stay quiet..'
Eve walks over and sits next to me, I put my arm around her protectively to show her that shes safe, well, I hope so anyway.
Michael shut the kitchen door behind him so we couldnt see what he was doing but he didnt come out after two minutes, I got a little worried, okay, very worried.
'Eve I'm going to see where he is.' I let go on Eve and sit her on the sofa.
'Shane please be careful...' She says as she looks at me with a scared and worried expression.
'Always am' I give her a reasuring smile and walk into the kitchen slowly opening the door.
I didnt expect to see what was on the other side of the kitchen door. I gasped as I saw Michael tied to a chair with a gag in his mouth and stood next to him was a person I never thought and never wanted to see again. Jason. Just as I was about to say something and run to save Michael someone grabbed me from behind and hauled me into one of the walls. It was a vampire who had hold of me. I knew by the force they used when they slammed me into the wall. No human would have the strengh to do that. I almost blacked out.
The vamp that had hold of me was a young man. Well I say young, he's probably 500 years old, just his appearance was young. He had short brown hair with a perfect complection. He gave me an evil smile and I saw the fangs. Yep, definatly a vampire.
Next thing I knew I was tied to a chair next to Michael. I felt something wet and warm drizzle down my forehead. It took me a minute to realise it was blood. From when I was hit at the wall. Man my head hurts. Am I seeing doubles? Yep, I'm pretty sure Jason doesnt have a twin, nope my regular sights coming back down, wow. Fuzzyness.
Focus Shane! I thought to myself. As I focused on what was really happening I saw that Eve was in the same state as me and Michael. Tied to a chair. Someone had taken the gag out of Michaels mouth and he was screaming at Jason.
'WHAT DO YOU WANT?!' He screamed. 'GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!'
'Wow, kitty has a meow, fiesty one aint you?' Jason got right in Michaels face and gave him a menacing, evil smile.
'JASON!' I turned my head and saw Eve tired and scared face. 'Leave him alone! Leave us all alone! Just tell us what you want, we will give it to you! As long as you leave us alone, please!' Eve's voice got more desperate towards the end of her sentence and a tear leaked from her blood shot eyes.
'Hm, very well,' Jason said. 'You give me what I want. I will leave you alone and wont hurt you, agreed?'
Eve looked down ashamed. Probably regretting what she said. Because what Jason wanted was probably sick and twisted and hard to find. 'Agreed.'
'What do you want Jason, just tell us.' I said.
'Wow Jason, he speaks!' The vampire who had hold of me looked at me like he fancied me or something, gross.
'Quiet, Henry.' Jason said as he moved towards me Eve and Michael.
'I want nothing to do with you three. Its Claire I want.'
'What do you want with Claire?!' I almost screamed but managed to remain calm. No way was I going to let him hurt Claire. Not if I can help it.
'I want her dead.'
10 minutes later.
The room was silent. Apart from the small whimper coming from Eve. Jason wanted Claire dead. For no good reason. I could feel the anger building inside me as I tried to consentrate on how I could get Claire not to come into the house. Thats why we were tied up. Me Eve and Michael. Jason was waiting for Claire to come home from Collage so he can kill her. Infront of us all. And there was nothing we could do to stop it. Jason had a gun. A gun. I was silently begging to god to make Claire not come home. I wouldnt mind if Myrnin called her to go to work till the end of the week, although that would never happen.
Claire will be home soon. Her last class finishes at 2:15pm and it was now 2:00pm and Claire always finishes her classes early. Always. I could feel my heart pounding. I was so scared, Not Claire, Not my Claire. She can't get killed. My life would end.
Jason was in the living room with his vampire friend, Henry. They were watching some American TV show and laughing along to it together.
'We need to think of something, quick. For Claires sake.' Michael said. He turned to face me and Eve. Eve was looking down. Probably praying to god like I was doing not long ago.
'What can we do.' Eve said. 'This is Jason we're talking about. If he wants something, he gets it. No questions asked. Claires going to come home expecting us all to be playing happy family. But shes going to having a gun pointed to her face-'
'Stop.' I said 'Just stop. Dont say that. She can't. Not Claire. Shes done nothing wrong to anyone. And she gets this crap. Everyday. By everyone. She basically saved Morganville. And no body cares. Not noone. Shes only 17. Shes smart, beautiful, kind. Yet no body seems to like her.' I could hear myself mumbling away. But i just couldnt seem to stop myself from talking about her. Its true. Nobody respects her. Apart from Me Eve and Michael. Okay and maybe Myrnin but thats its.
We all went silent after that. Then Jason and Henry walked in and without a word got piece of dirty cloth from their pockets and wrapped them around over mouths. We all squirmed but it was no use. They're gagging us so we wont be able to talk or tell Claire to run when she walks through the door. Clever but Evil. Very evil.
I heard keys rattling in the front door. Crap. Claire.
'Hey guys, I'm home, anyone in?'
I tried as much as possible to get from the ropes that tied me down to the chair but nothing was working, I turned to Michael who was trying to do the same thing. I looked at Eve who was now in floods of uncontrolable tears. I couldnt blame her, this is going to be bad and I felt the water works coming as I heard footsteps aproaching the kitchen door which was tightly shut.
Jason smiled that horrible smile at us and started to take the gun from his pocket. My heart rate increased as I heard the door knob turning on the kitchen door. I heard muffled screaming coming from both Michael and Eve but you couldnt hear them properally, because of the gags.
As the kitchen door slowly opened I saw my beautiful girlfriend coming through. Her long brown hair swaying across her face.
'Guys are you in-' Claire was cut of when Jason aimed the gun.
Two shots. Gun shots. Screams. Thats it. Thats all I heard. I looked at Claire and saw her clutching her stomach. Jason shot her. Twice. Tears were running down my face uncontrolably as the same for Eve and Michael. Claire looked helplessly at Michael, then Eve and lastly, me. She looked at me and I saw a tear shed from her eye. And she collapsed to the floor.
