Hello all you Morganville fans. Please read all of my new story and pretty please review. I'm desperately needing some reviews. Even if its so boring you could only read the first sentence at least review so I can improve. Sorry about being like this, I'm just worried that I did a bad job.

Chapter 1: Morning sunshine!

Claire was just fixing herself a coffee when she received a text. It was from her crazy vampire boss, Myrnin,

Come to the lab, I want to show you something!

This was the third day this week Myrnin had created something crazy that he insisted Claire had to see. She was still healing from the burns the first one gave her. And the second one is now something she and Myrnin agree will never bring up again. She soon texts back whilst sipping her coffee, wishing she had went to Common Grounds after all,

Give me five minutes then open a portal.

She quickly changed her clothes to her most worn out jeans and a faded t-shirt which she is sure must have said "Team Jacob"at some point. She notes that she will probably have to either disinfect or completely burn this outfit after today.

Soon she felt the presence of a portal that must be downstairs. She grabs her much abused backpack and quickly heads off in the direction of the portal. She's soon stopped by a very grumpy looking Eve. She was still in her nightie and her shaggy hair stood out at all angles. Claire wasn't quite sure if she should run in fear of Eve's morning attitude or keel over laughing at her best friend's new do. She settled for saying, "Morning sunshine. Who bit you this morning?" Eve looked at her with a murderous glare. Wow she was extra grumpy this morning. She turned to Claire and moaned, "how can you be up so dang early. It's a Sunday have you not heard of a lie in?" Claire was about to remind her that she's not the only one up so early but by the look on her friends face she seemed like she would bite the head of the next person who pissed her off. Claire decides to go with the safe approach, "Your coffees downstairs just add some water when you get down there."

"Thanks CB" It seemed the thought of coffee had tamed the beast a little. Claire said "I'm just off to the lab, if you hear an explosion then you know where." Eve chuckled at that,

"See you later CB, and remember you owe me a shopping trip." Oh yeah Claire nearly forgot. She'd have to make extra sure she doesn't get blown up in that case.

She went through the portal, she felt the same weird shimmer go through her as she stepped from her living room straight into Myrnin's lab. The Lab was as messy as always, book piled higher then she could reach, she couldn't decide if the equipment was weird or wonderful, until on of them popped and then another sprang up and listed numbers on a monitor. Defiantly weird. She barely had time to breathe before she felt Myrnin's grip on her upper arm and him pulling her towards his latest break through / explosion waiting to happen. On one of his tables was a huge….contraption? That was about all she could call it because to her it just looked like a heap of junk held together with glue. It had funnels and wires sticking out and even a few dangling over and off the table. Above the eccentric knot of random items there was a metal orb. Myrnin looked at it with a great sense of pride. She soon noticed that whilst she was pre-occupied staring at this crazy thing her -even more crazy- boss had made that she didn't notice that he seemed to be dressed equally as crazy.

He was wearing tight black jeans and a button up shirt that she believed was once a nice shade of blue but was now scorched and stained so badly it was hard to tell. Both sleeves looked as though they had been ripped of at some point showing his pale muscled arms. His ruined shirt didn't make her anymore confident about the machine that he was probably going to make her test. His shirt was clearly not the most eccentric thing about his outfit today. Weirdly his long curled hair was tied with multi-coloured beads. That was new. One thing that wasn't new was his usual fanged bunny slippers.

"Nice to see you Mardi Gra." she said gesturing to his new hair accessories. Myrnin just looked at her blankly "Who?" She rolled her eyes and sighed "He's a…..never mind."

"Ok then, what to do you think?" She didn't quite know what to say about the monstrous machine that lay before her so she said "Myrnin, what exactly is it?" He looked at her with a face that looked as though he'd just watched her dribble down her shirt. It was his turn to roll his eye's at her "Well isn't it obvious?" she stared at him blankly, "…ok here's what it does. Anyone who puts their hand on this here"-points to the orb- "will be able to hear the thoughts of anyone else that's touching it too…." Actually that was pretty cool….if it worked. Claire started to zone out as he explained how it worked, he was talking at a million miles per hour and Claire didn't even have a prayer at catching up. However she soon catch the part that worried her "Now if you would just place your hand on the-"

"Whoa, hold up. You're expecting me to test that after that last time" she said holding up her still red hands. He looked at her apologetically "I told you that won't happen again. "Do it otherwise I'll make you." There was not kidding in his voice, and true he could easily make her considering he's a vampire and she is just a human of less that average strength. She just sighed and placed her hand on the orb, waiting for the explosion. Myrnin also put his hand on the orb he pressed a few buttons and turned a few knobs, the machine made unnerving groaning sounds. That's when she started to feel a massive pressure in her head, then came the head splitting pain. It felt as though her head was being burned from the inside. She could see Myrnin was feeling the same thing. She tried to pull her hand away but something about the orb held it there. The pain was so great she lasted about too seconds before she fell to the ground, well not quite her hand was still secure on the orb and it wasn't until the machine released her that she finally passed out.
