My Morganville Short Story.
Chapter 1
Claire twists in her sheets after the realisation of what she has just done hits her full swing. She has just become Amelies bitch, by signing a life long contract to the founder of Morganville to keep the Glass residents safe. Claire dosent feel sad nor regretful because she knows it will be for the best; if it keeps her and her friends out of trouble than its worth it.
Claire was stopped in her train of thought when the alarm clock buzzed for her 6:00am start. She opened her eyes and panicked for a heartbeat, but then she realised that she had slept in Shanes room last night. Claire rolls on her side to face him still in his sleep. She and Shane havent actualy had sex yet because he feels she is to young for it and he dosent want to preasure her into anything she dosen't want to do. But Claire has other thought, she knows shes ready for him, but she does think it's quite cute that he is waiting for her to turn seventeen. Claire knows that even if she did somehow persuade Shane into making her a very lucky girl, that he would get his ass kicked; mainly by her farther and Michael and of course Eve. For now she will just have to be patient. It's only about a week and a half until Claire is legal.
"Hey, sleepy get your lazy ass up put of bed." Said Claire with a smirk. Shane was already facing her with is arm tucked under her neck. Shane began to groan and roll the other way, but, Claire caught him before he could bury his head into the pillow on the other side of him. "I mean it, get up. You have work and I have to go to the lab and see Myrnin-" she was cut off by Sahnes warm lips against hers, that made her want to stay cooped up in bed for the next twenty-four hours. "Good morning to you too." Shane purred. Why was a mans morning voice so sexy. Before Claire became too enveloped in him she rolled out of bed. Literally crashed onto the floor because she was too tired to generate enough energy to fight Shane off and attempt to get out of bed. Shane peeked over the edge of the bed to look at Claire lying on her back in her bra and pants, on the floor.
Shane flooped out of bed and scooped Claire up in his arms. "You look like you need more sleep. Sooo lets say we ditch todays crappy activities and stay in bed to watch 'New Girl' with some Pizza and Ben and Jerrys ice cream." The offer was so tempting Claire almost gave in, but she knew her crazy ass vamp boss would kill her (no he sireously probably would) if she was to be late or skip a day of work. "No. Stop trying to be a bad infuence on me." She said with a smile as Shane lowered her and put his hands on her hips. Shane had a big smile on his face and looked like he was going to say some smart ass reply but Claire cut in. "Crap! I have to be there and 7:00 and It's already 6:15 and I have to shower and everything yet!" She said as she rapidly collected her shirt and jeans from the floor and ran out of Shane door to her own room. That's when she bumped into Michael and her clothes went flying as she plomped to the floor. "Why are you not wearing anything. Oh god Claire don't tell me you're seriously doing the walk of shame." Michael said turning on his heels away from her with his hands around his eyes.
Claire got up off the floor and swiftly ran to her room. "Sorry Michael, it's not what it looks like I promise." She closed her bed room door and put her old clothes in the washing basket and then opened her door again to get the shower before Eve could. Michael was talking to Shane. "Dude don't tell me it happened already. You know if word got out you could be arrested, and don't even get me started on her dad he'll kill you and so will I!" Michael was saying, his voice rising on the last few words. "Nothing happend i swear, we just cuddled." Shane replied. Michael seemed to relax at this. "Plus I could kick your ass any day of the week." Shane said whilst grabbing Michael in a head lock. Claire huffed in frustration at them and went to the bathroom.
Claire, Eve, Shane and Michael had all just finished breakfast which included a lot of arguing between Shane and Eve with who got more bacon out of the two of them. In the end Claire put her extra bacon on Shane plate and he shut up about it. Eve went to work, Michael went out to give his guitar lessons, Shane went to work and Claire got dropped off by Eve just out side Myrnins place. The sun was beating down on her as soon as she jumped out of the car. "See you later Claire Bear, call me if you need me." Claire just nodded, smiled and waved goodbye as Eve drove off in her black herse.
As Claire walks to the ally way where the entrance (that looks like a trap door) to Myrnins lab is she starts to feel a little anxious. Imean can you blame her, she has to be stuck in a lab for six hours with a crazy vampire. Claire opened the trap door and decended the stairs. When she got to the bottom she saw no one. All of a sudden the lights all went off and she fell into the darkness. "Hello, little Claire. It must be you Claire because no other human or vampire would come waltsing in a hole in the ground." Said a cool voice that sounded like it was behind her. She didn't dare move because the thought of doing anything my set some sort of trigger. Claire felt a heavy breath on top of her hair but now she was frozen in pure terror. A candle came on and there sat on a chair next to the flickering flame sat a man. He stood up, with a wide grin on his face.
An eruption of laughter chorused through the room as the man looked at Claire. "Dear child I didn't really mean to frighten you but to only play, what would you call it, 'a nasty trick' I believe this is the first time we have met. My name is Myrnin." He said with an out streched hand. He was about 6.4ft high which was enormous to Claire seeing as she was only small, about 5.5ft. He had avey hair that just brushed his shoulders. His clothes where so strange Claire had to look twice. Myrnin was wearing a flowery hawian beach shirt with his chest on show, with ilumisnous green boarding shorts. And Claire had to suppress the laugh she was holding in from the irony of his shoes, which were vampire bunny slippers. Claire shock Myrnins hand and said, "Hi, my name is Claire Danvers." Myrnin a Claire got on rather well for the next six hours, they are working on a sirum that Myrnin discoved. He thinks that if you mix Vampire blood with human blood and then add vesitoxin acid to it then drink the mixure it might give humans the ability to heal as fast as vampires can without any of the other vampire side effects.
"See-ya Myrnin, il be back tomorrow." Claire said, but as she waved her hand the braclet that she had to now wear that bound her and Amelie together had caught Myrnins eye. He moved at vampire speed to speculate it. "How intresting it is to think that this little bracelet is the very thing that basicaly keeps you imortal from any vampire, all because it has Amelies symbol on it. How does it feel knowing you are now eternaly bound with Amelie, unless she lets you go or you die." Claire shivered at the last word. "As long is it keeps me and my friends alive, im prepared for the things of what i have to do." CLaire shot back at him; Myrnins mouth curved ever so slightly into what might have been a smile, and then he dismissed her with a wave of his hand.
Claire couldent get a hold of Eve when she was out of the lab, it just kept on going to voice mail. Being stuck out in Morganville at 6: 10 pm was certainly not good. She saw something shifting in the shadows up ahead so she dicided to walk the other way which was on her way home. Of course Claire knew that walking was definatly a bad thing to do, even in scary movies it shows you never to walk home in the dark. But as she started walking she saw head lights and thouihgt it would be Eve. As the car pulled up she reconised it as a police car. It swerved in next to her on the pavement. She could tell they were vampire police officers from the tinted windows and when she was about to carry on walking the window rolled down and a white bony hand tapped on the side of the car door. The man sitting inside had black slick black hair and could have been maybe even good looking before he was changed but now he just looked scary whilst he was starring at Claire with Crimson eyes.
"You lost kid, you know its no good being a sitting duck around here. My names Officer Curly, would you like a lift home." Officer Curly said in a soft silky voice. Relif flooded over Claire."Thanks Officer, id really appreiciate that." Claire jumped in the passanger seat whilst while hoisting her back pack in the back seat. The ride back to the Glass house was silent, which Claire frankly didn't mind. We arrived at the front door and when i saw our porch light on and Shane sitting under it Claire suddly felt a rush of guilt that she didn't text him why she was late. Shane stood up and waited for Claire. "Thanks Officer Curly, you really helped me out there." Claire said with a shy smile. The more she looked at Officer Curly the more she seemed to find his features more atractive. "Good night Claire, maybe il bump into you sooner or later." He said with a un readable smile. Claire grabed her bag and jumped ut of the car and ran as fast as she could to the do because everyone one know not to mess around whilst getting to the front door.
When Claire slammed into Shane at the top of the steps he husled them both over the threshold of the house aooked all the bolts to the front door. "Where the hell have you been Claire you had me worried sick!" Shane said. Claire knew he'd be pissed, But she didn't really blame him. "Im sorry, icouldn't get hold of Eve and I didn't think to call anyone else because Michaels the only other one with a car but he never brings his phone to work." Claire said. Shane
