Love Will Be The Death Of Us, But We'll Die Happily.

Chapter 1

'I hate you for this, you know?' Claire says with a dull voice. She felt horribly sick and tired from all of the stress from the past few days. She was standing at the towns boarders with Shane. Michael and Eve were a few feet away, probably having the same conversation. Michael and Shane had been told they have to go to Dallas to fight the vampires that Morley has been in charge of. Those vampires have been running riot in town and Amelie says she needs the strongest vampires and humans to put them in line. But of course, Amelie being the absolute spoil sport she is, had to choose Shane and Michael.

'I know.' Shane says in a soft and low voice. He was standing infront of her, holding onto both of her hands tightly.
'When will you be back?' Claire asks with a twinkle of hope in her eyes. She felt like she was going to burst into tears. She felt as if nobody in the world could be as good as Shane. And now he was leaving her. She felt that she didn't belong here without Shane and Michael.

'Soon. I promise. I'm not leaving you alone for... god knows how long.'
'I'll have Eve.' Claire says but she knew she wasn't making matters any better.
'Eve isn't enough.' Shane shakes his head. 'I love you both, promise me you'll keep safe?'

'I promise.' Claire says as she tilts her head towards the ground. She felt her chest become heavy as her throat clogged up. Shane must've realised because he tilted her head back up with the tips of his fingers.

'Hey...' He says softly. 'I have to come back. You made a promise for me, and I promise you that as soon as I get, which I will... I'll marry you.'

She felt her heart break again, the same it did when he told her that he was leaving for a god knows how long to go and battle with furious vamps.

She couldn't hold the tears in any longer. She let them fall down her face, slowly and silently. Her lips began to quiver as she burried her head into Shane's chest. His big arms wrapped around her and held her close. She never wanted to forgive this moment.

'Dude..' Someone says from behind us. Shane turns around, his arms still wrapped Claire's waist. She turned around to see Michael stood behind Shane with his arm around a very upset Eve.

'It's time to go.' Michael nods towards the yellow school bus which was taking them to Dallas. Everybody was already on there, apart from a few people. Amelie was stood at the doors to the bus, seeing everyone off.

Shane turns back around to Claire and rests his head on her forehead. He was looking deeply into her eyes before he brought his lips to her. She savoured the kiss. Really, really savoured it. She didn't care if Michael and Eve and possibly even Amelie were watching. She went for it.

When they both came up for air, Claire felt like she needed more. Needed him more. More than ever. But it was time for him to go, and that was just heart breaking.

'I love you, Claire. So, so much.' Shane says as he kisses her forehead. She wipes at her eyes and nods. 'I love you, too.'

Shane walks over to Eve and wraps his arms around her. Eve began crying all over again as she clutched Shane's t-shirt. Michael came over to Claire and did the same. Claire relaxed against Michaels chest. She cried. She was going to miss them both so much, it hurt already.

'I'm going to miss you so much, Claire Bear.' Michael whispered as he moved a stray piece of hair from Claire's face. She smiled slightly and rests her head against his chest again. 'I'll miss you too.' She says. 'Please...just.. look after Shane. Please?'

Michael untangles his arms from Claire and holds her at arms lengh. 'Claire... you know that I would do everything in my power to look after any of you. Including Shane.'

'I know.' Claire smiles. 'Thanks. Take care of yourself, too.'
'Always do.' Michael smiles and kisses her hair before walking back over to Eve. Shane comes back and kisses Claire again. Michael had to litterly drag Shane away from her.

Shane turned around to see Claire and Eve holding each other as they watched them go. It hurt Shane and Michael so mich to see them both so... broken. Shane knew he was coming back. He just had to. For them. For him.

When Michael and Shane approached the bus that was taking them out of Morganville, Amelie greeted them with a smile.
'I trust you both will do an excelent job in Dallas.' Amelie says.
'We'll try.'
'Try not getting killed in the process, that would help.' Amelie says with a cold tone.
'Thanks...' Michael frowns.
'Go..' Amelie says. 'Take care of yourself. Both of you.'

With that, Michael and Shane got onto the bus and went to sit at the back on their own. They both looked out of the window to see Eve and Claire standing on their own, looking so fragile and vunerable. Shane and Michael knew they were going to see Claire and Eve again. But he just didn't know that they were going to see each other in a whole different life.

So this is the beginning of my new story. It's going to get depressing and sad and its only going to be a short one but please review and tell me if you want me to carry on :) xx
