Alone

Chapter 1

Claire's POV

All I wanted was to go off to Boston and be on my own for a while. I knew that I'd miss my friends. I knew that I'd want them to be here with me. Yet when I thought about them being here, enjoying the 'non-morganville life' with me, I didn't think it would be like this.

We were all in Pete's apartment, trying to get our heads around things. Myrnin was sat with Jesse, being a bit too loved up which was really weird to see because... well, it was Myrnin.
Eve had her head in Michael's lap looking a bit dazed. Who could blame her, she just let her husband drink from her vains. If that isn't love, then what is?

Me, Shane, Oliver and Pete where trying to find a way to stay safe. Pete was still looking a bit confussed and a tiny bit scared. Well, he has just found out that there is more than one vampire in his home and trouble is all around him. Yeah, I'd look the same if I weren't so god damn used to this sort of crap.

The police were after Shane. God knows what he has been doing, I've only just found out today that he has been spying on me the whole time I've been here. I'm not mad at him though, I proved that when we came here and nobody was around.

'Trust you to get into trouble.' I sigh as I elbow Shane softly in the side. He staggers, as if I actually hurt him. He laughs and puts his arms around me from behind.
'You know you love my dangerous attitude.' I could almost see the smirk on his face.
'Not when its causing trouble for people who don't need it.' I gesture towards Pete who was sitting on the sofa, looking rather tired.

'Nah, Pete's cool. He's always dealing with trouble. Being a bouncer and all.' I sigh and turn around to face Shane. I bury my head into his chest as he rocks me back and forth. 'Don't worry about it.' Shane says softly. 'We'll be okay.'

'I just thought that coming here would give me a break. From all the trouble and vampires. Obviously not.' I give a pathetic little laugh and punch Shanes chest with as little force as I could.

'Hey.' I felt Shane's soft fingers under my chin, lifting my head up to face him. 'Where's the strong Claire I know?'
'On vacation. Lucky cow.' He kisses me, cutting me off. When Shane kissed me, all of the problems that I have ever had, just goes away. Just like that. He makes my world complete. Thats why I love him.

But something always had to ruin the amazing moments. My phone rings. I break the kiss between me and Shane and sigh loudly. 'Can't catch a break.' I laugh and kiss Shane quickly on the cheek before walking into the kitchen to answer the phone.

Myrnin's POV

Jesse. What a lovely woman. I have known her for generations, I just havent come in contact with her for a very, very long time. I have missed her, I truly have. I admit I forgot about her but now I have her again, I remember how beautiful she is.

Her lovely red locks flow perfectly down her shoulders. Her fare skin glows in the dim light. She is perfect.

We were both sat in the far corner of the small room that we were all crowded in. E..Eve? Yes, Eve was asleep with her head in young Michael's lap. Michael was just about falling asleep too. There was no sign of Claire. Her boy and Oliver were talking in the way they always do, in a civilized way. They really hate each other.

Jesse sat opposite me, messing with her bandaged hand. 'Does it hurt, fare lady?' I ask in the most polite way possible. I had to be polite with her. When there is a beautiful woman, known from your generation, you have to be polite and treat her like the princess she once was.

'Nothing I can't handle.' Jesse says as she looks up at me. Our eyes meet and electricity sparks through my body like fireworks on a stary night. I never noticed how amazing and beautiful her eyes were.

Jesse looks away and starts fiddling with her hand again. I sit up straight and run my hands over my jacket. 'May I get you a drink, my lady?' I stand up and put my hands around my back.
'That would be great, thank you.' Jesse smiles up at me as I nodd and walk away into the kitchen.

When I open the door, I find Claire with her head in her hands sitting at the kitchen table. I frown and sit opposite her. 'Claire?'
She lifts her head up and wow, she looked stressed. I had never seen her so... depressed and miserable in the time that I've known her. 'What's wrong?' She shakes her head and leans back in the chair. She was flipping her mobile device... thing in her hand.

'You know you can tell me anything, right?' I reasure her. She looks at her and sighs loudly.
'Myrnin...' Tears grew in her eyes. 'I just got a phoen call.'
'Who was it?' I frown.
'Police.' Claire chokes back tears. 'They say that there was an accident on the motorway a few hours away from here.'
'Why does that concern you?'
'Because it was my parents car.'

I stop for a moment and look at Claire's face. Full of dismay. 'Oh...Claire..'
'They.. they want me to go down to the hospital about an hour away to...'
'To what?'
'Identify bodies.'

Claire's lips quiver as tears roll down her cheaks. 'It cant be them. It cant be.' She sobs.

I get of my chair and move over to her, my arms wraps around her and pulls her in. I hate to see my cariad upset. She's only young and she has been through so much terror in her life, I dont know how she hangs on sometimes.

'I have to go.' Claire says after a few moments. 'They said be there within the next hour.'
'Do you want me to come with you?' I ask. Claire shakes her head. 'I have to do this alone. I..I'll get a cab, just... don't tell anybody. Not Jesse, Not Shane... not anybody. Myrnin you have to promise me.'

'I promise.' I say. Claire stands up from her chair, grabs her bag, takes a deep breath then walks out of the kitchen.

'I need to go to the university.' I hear Claire say as I step out behind her. She was taking to her boy, Shane. 'What do you mean you have to go to the university, Claire its not safe!' He was saying. 'I got the shit beaten out of me for no reason, I dont want the same happening to you, Claire!'

'Shane! Its only two minutes away and Ill get a cab, dont treating me like a baby!' It was clear that Claire was in no mood to be messed about, which is why I kept my distance. Claire in a bad mood was scary. More scary than Bob when he's in a mad mood. And thats messy.

'Just... call me when you get there, okay?' Shane says. Claire nods and walks towards the door. I could see her body trembling, her knees could hardly keep her up. 'Claire you should stay home.' Shane shouts after her. 'You dont look well!'

But she was already gone.

To find out if her parents were dead.
