Summary: The remaining grief lingers on, as proven in one-hundred-word drabbles by three of Morganville's biggest players: Claire, Myrnin and Shane. Of Course- when aren't they involved?
Claire.
Claire gripped the beaker with far more force than necessary. The way Myrnin could still even pretend to care about her made her sick. For Myrnin, she was surely nothing but a snack, a slave, a possession. The time with the Draug had proved that. Hadn't it?
And how dare he make a joke about Shane! Any feelings marginally more than Platonic had been wiped off the face of the Earth the moment Myrnin tried to leave Shane in the grip of the Draug.
Claire threw the beaker down onto the table and ignored the stain it would leave, before storming out of the lab and out of the shack.
And out of Myrnin's life, for good. Well, she hoped.
Myrnin.
Myrnin stood unnervingly close to the acid spreading over the floor, recovering from the wave of pain and ecstasy Claire had caused when she stormed from the lab.
Because no matter how much Myrnin loved Claire, no matter how much he wanted to love her and cherish her until the end of time, he wanted her blood more. It would have been difficult anyway, but once he had tasted her blood once, so many months ago, it took every ounce of self-control he possessed not to jump her whenever she was in his presence. In any way, shape, or form.
Shane.
Shane waited in the kitchen for Claire to come home, twirling his spaghetti over and around his fork. Eating wasn't so much fun alone.
The Draug and Magnus had done something to the town, but Claire had been affected worse than anyone else, even those who had lost family. Because Claire, his one and only love, had been murdered. And then come back to life.
Still alive.
After Myrnin's kidnap attempt, Claire had removed herself from the people who loved her most, including Shane, especially Shane.
The door banged open, and Shane jumped as Claire ran upstairs and cried again.
Not amazing, but I am so amazingly bored, it is two in the morning and I have a physics exam tomorrow! Go Logic! I'm sure I wasn't meant to do another one-shot for a while *sighs* yeah, well done, me!
Review, pretty, pretty please? Love from Chloe x x x
