Don't really know how often I'll be able to update this, but trying to start a new story. Set about six months after Daylighters. Morganville may have peace but it's always being broken.
Claire's pov
I've waited so long; I still can't believe I'm Mrs Shane Collins. Since the first day, I've known I'm home. Things have changed in the last few months, mum and dad have moved. I think now it's time for me to live… without the past.
Amelie has changed Morganville, and this time the changes are real- for once we are utterly equal. I saw a vampire burn, just last week. They melted like the wax of a candle, skin that wasn't skin. It didn't blister or burn, just fell- just dissolved, I have no better explanation. I think this was the test. She had to do it.
It's been six month of tension, holding your breath for the next thing that's coming. In three years so much has changed. I came here oblivious to the world, thinking everything was how it seemed but then Monica bullied me out of university; if she hadn't I'd still be as oblivious as ninety-nine point nine percent of the population. If she hadn't I wouldn't of became Claire. Yes I might have been a normal student, had my dreams at MIT but I'd have lost so much… my best friends, a world of knowledge so easily forgot, Shane. He's what I'd of lost.
You learn how to fight, how to run, how to not linger on the street. A strange existence but one that still plays on your mind.
We do normal stuff now. Walks at dusk… I still feel apprehensive. Shopping and the biggest thing is that you don't have to carry the weapons… the stakes, crossbows, knives. It's quiet now. Morganville is what it used to be.
I don't know whether I prefer it better.
5 months later
How things can change? Something is happening, something bigger than everything we are. Five murders in two weeks. Vampire murder. Fang marks. The past is coming.
Amelie's confused. She's locked away in her study. Oliver… well no-one knows.
Why does it feel like times turning? Why do I feel like I'm always moments away from death?
Just a little taster chapter. Possibility for ideas but hey if you think of something better message- I'm willing to write something to entertain. Anyhow enjoy.
