Claire's POV:
Life has been amazing since the wedding. It's been a full year I have been married to Myrnin. I continue my classes at TPU but of course at night only. I spend my free time with Myrnin in the lab and enjoy learning new things about myself. I found out that I, like Oliver and Amelie, can use compulsion on others. Unfortunately it is not as strong. Another plus is Myrnin doesn't have to hold back in fear of crushing me.
One of my favorite parts after the wedding it the honey moon. It's completely different than when I was with Shane. More magic, less agression. Although a sad reminder of the fact I can never have kids lingers in my mind from time to time.
"Claire have you seen the sodium beaker? I seem to have misplaced it!" Myrnin yells from the lab. I sigh and sit up on the bed and erase my thoughts. I stretch before walking to the door.
"Is it perhaps on the table next to you?" I say as I get to the door.
"Of course not! If it was I would have- oh." He says as he checks one of the many crowded lab tables. I laugh and shake my head. I walk behind Myrnin and wrap my arms around his waist.
"So what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well I was planning on rearranging Bob's habitat. He seems to be getting quite bored lately." He says, oddly serious. I sigh and go back to the room and change.
"No thanks! I'm going to see if I can visit Eve. Don't worry I'll take the portal." I say. I hear a chuckle from Myrnin and before he can try to persuade me to stay I'm dressed and calling Eve.
"Hello?" A cheery voice answers.
"Hey Eve think I can come over to Common Grounds for your break?"
"Sure CB! I get off at seven so if you want we can hang out afterwards too!"
"That sounds great. Be over in five."
" 'Kay!" I hang up the phone and Myrnin comes over to me, kissing me softly. I melt into his kiss before breaking apart.
"No. No persuasion." I joke. He smiles and shrugs.
"Couldn't hurt to try." He replies. I giggle and kiss him goodbye before opening the portal to Common Grounds. I walk in to find a grumpy Oliver at his desk. He glares up at me before returning to his work.
"Couldn't use your car? What happened, did the mongrol wreck it?" He says angrily. I roll my eyes and open the office door.
"No but your face cracked the windsheild. So I don't want to risk burning through the cracks." I retort before leaving the room to a gaping Oliver. I walk to a shaded part of the coffee shop and wave to Eve. She waves back before being swarmed with customers. Today is such a busy day. After about twenty minutes of waiting, Eve comes with a mocha in hand and sighs as she sits down.
"Phew that was a workout. I think I topped my new record. Twelve shots in under a minute! What was my old one?" she chirps cheerfully.
"Ten I think." I smile as she fist pumps the air.
"Yes! Awesome!" We laugh and talk about new events and Michaels upcoming gig.
"So CB do you think Amelie will let you and me out of town for his gig?" Eve asks. I shrug and take another sip at the mocha. Even though it doesn't fill me up, it's still delicious.
"Don't know. I'll try to talk to her about it okay?" I tell her and she beams with joy. We chatter away until she goes back to work. While waiting for her to finish up I start to feel weird. My stomach turns and I double over. After a few minutes I feel better again. I walk to Olivers office and knock.
"Come in." I enter and close the door behind me. He doesn't bother to look up.
"Do you have a spare..blood bag?" I ask, still uncomfortable with my new food source. He reaches under his desk and pulls out a blood bag, from a drawer. I thank him and quickly open it, drinking every drop. B positive, tasting mostly like strawberries. I discard the bag and leave the room, returning to my previous seat. The store is mostly empty now.
Eve finishes up at seven exactly and we leave Common Grounds together. We talk away while I walk her to the Glass House. The sun is gone and a slight breeze present. About half way there my stomach starts to turn again. I clutch it while a seering pain rips through my body. I gasp before doubling over on the concrete.
"Oh my god Claire?! Are you okay?!" He yells frantically. I can't talk, in to much pain to voice the words. My body starts twitching before I black out from the pain. My name was the last thing I heard.
Okay so that's the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed and I'm sorry for any mistakes. Please review and thanks for reading!
