Chapter One

A familiar feeling swept over me as I turned into the alley that led to Myrnin's lab. When I reached his door I took a deep breath, I had been jittery all morning and I'm not sure if it's because I love science and am itching to get back into some work or I'm just excited to see Myrnin. I certainly hope it's not the latter, that would be slightly awkward since I'm married and all.

I do feel kind of bad that I snuck out of the house without Shane knowing I was coming here, it's just that I didn't want to get into another one of our reoccurring arguments that we have been having since we got home. I told him before our honeymoon that when we got back I would be going back to work.

At the time I thought he was ok with it but now it's like 'It's to dangerous Claire' and the one that really ticks me off 'Now that we're married I also have a say in your safety.'

I know it's just that he loves me and doesn't want anything to happen to me but I need to open my wings sometimes and not be so sheltered, he needs to realize I'm not made of glass.

Shaking my thoughts away I lifted my hand and knocked softly. The next second the door was swung open and there stood Myrnin wearing actual clothes, they included dark blue jeans and a plain white shirt. He had a huge grin on his face and surprised me when he lent forward to pick me up off the ground. He swung me around before then crushing me to his chest.

Looking over his shoulder I could see Jessie, her long red hair was in a pony and she wore a light green sundress. She looked happy but I couldn't help but notice the slight frown between her eyebrows.

"Hi Jessie" I said giving her a small smile.

"Hello Claire, you look well" she replied, snapping out of what was bothering her. Then making her way into Myrnin's kitchen, I wonder if she's moved in. I didn't get a chance to think much on it. Myrnin decided it time to set me back on the ground.

"It has been too long young Claire" he gave me a cute smile then grabbed my hand and dragged me to the corner of the lab where Bob's cage was. "Bob has missed you very much and has been sleeping on that little blanket you made him."

By blanket he means a piece of my clothing that got caught and ripped on bobs cage. I raised my head up and smiled at him "That's nice, but I'm pretty sure Spiders don't sleep" his smile began to fade so I quickly added "But they do hibernate in winter" it turned his smile full beam.

"Of course…it must be winter. Time really dose fly little one." Its actually summer but I thought it best to keep that to myself.

"So what are we working on today?" I asked.

"Since you have been on your…. holiday with that boy" he spat. That boy? I thought he was over his distaste of Shane now that he had Jessie, I guess not. "I've been looking through notes on Fallon's cure. I must admit that I am quite impressed by his work…scientifically speaking." He added the 'scientifically' for my benefit. "Although I believe I could achieve much more." I looked up at him and frowned, he however took the frown as me disagreeing with him. "I am certain of it" he nodded.

I shrugged my shoulders "Whatever." I made my way to the centre of the lab. "Can we get started at whatever you're trying to achieve?"

Myrnin straightened he shoulders "Very well, the cure has different stages from being vampire to human. One of the human stages is to walk in sunlight." He explained.

I rolled my eyes "Yes I know."

"Well I am working on how we could single out that particular stage, enabling Vampires to walk in the sun" He looked very happy with himself. "Now that you're here we can work together."

I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to make Vampires able to walk in the sun. I mean that's the only true advantage humans have against Vampires. Once again I'm sucked into being 'team Vampire' instead of 'Team Human.' No wonder some human's hate me…. god I would hate me if I were them.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I noticed Myrnin had put a clock up in his lab, probably Lady Grey's influence I thought bitterly. What's wrong with me I should be happy Myrnin has someone, I guess I'm used to this place being me and Myrnin's lab not me, Myrnin and…Jessie's lab.

I was cut off of my thoughts when Myrnin was suddenly behind me and leaning over me to see what I was reading.

The proximity between us was intoxicating and I forgot how to breath "May I ask…" he didn't finish what he was going to say, instead he stilled and became transfixed with my neck just where my pulse is.

Looking over my shoulder I could tell his eyes were pitch black and hungry. I may be wrong but I could have sworn I saw Desire.

Silence stretched on and on and just when I believed I would pass out from lack of air Jessie came into the room and took in the scene in front of her. Her face turned pretty red for a Vamp, "What the hell is going on here" she seethed.

Thankful for the distraction I scurried towards the door and grabbed my bag. "Claire?" I heard Myrnin mutter. I turned around and found him still where we were a few seconds ago only he was facing me. "I'm sorry" I felt bad for him and thought about staying, but then I remembered the pissed red haired Vamp behind him. "Please stay?" he added.

"I'm sorry but I have to go home I…. I need to…" I stopped not knowing what to say so I went with "bye Myrnin. I'll see you tomorrow." I smiled and turned to open the door where I was greeted with the warm air of Morganville.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
