AN: So this is my first fanfic and to be honest I am kind of winging it, so all I ask is for some R&R and if you do throw me to the flames at least burn me to the point where the worst damage is second degree burns. Thanks

Claire POV

Its only a matter of time before the find out, so you might as well just come out and say it.

Its been like this for weeks now. I have heard this voice and its never good. The nightmares won't stop. The same one over and over. Some thing is coming and I know its big. I walked into the kitchen only to find Shane, Eve, and Michael staring at me, like I have two heads.

" what", I asked.

No one spoke to me except the voice. Secrets so many secrets. They obviously know. Might as well run while you can. I tried to hold back my screams as the pain set in, it came every time the voice spoke to me.

"we need to talk" My boyfriend, Shane, told me. His voice was just oozing with concern. Even as he said it, he looked as if he was trying to fight the erge to just pull me away from whatever danger he thinks is threatening me. I walked over to the table and sat down. It was relatively quiet even though we were suppose to be having a "talk". Eve broke the silence.

'Claire, what's going on"

'What do you mean" I yawned.

"That! Wait- take your glasses off"

"what? No"

"Claire, Please." Now Shane decided to join the team.

"No! Why are you ganging up on me?" I knew I was wrong. But once these glasses come off everything goes down.

"Do you have something to hide?" Now Michael grew a vertebrae and decided to join in. He eyes are glowing a dull red, so I know he is about to vamp out.

" No, I don't. So if that is all I would like to leave the house now." I turned to walk away when Shane grabbed me and pulled away my glasses. They all gasped.

"Claire your eyes"

"What about them Shane?" I snapped.

"they are dark as night. What's going on -"

I ran as fast as I could before he going to finish, I half expected Michael to catch me but he didn't. I ran to TPU but didn't stop, I kept running into the forest and sobbed. Then I felt the most horrible pain and the voice came in.

You'll never be able to outrun me and what's coming for you.

Shane POV

I can't believe Claire just ran out like that. I don't understand what went wrong, I have never seen her in such a hurry to get away from us, her family and her boyfriend. Her eyes had huge dark circles around them, there was hardly any emotion in them but I could see that they held secrets and I was going to find out what it was.

" we have to find her" Eve sounded like the emotions my unspoken thoughts had.

Michael was too many steps ahead of me and was jingling his keys so fast it was like a hyperactive reindeer was in the room. We got in the car and we drove to common grounds, Myrnin's lab, and to the Ice Queen's Liar. Michael decided we should start to walk and see if he could catch her scent. We have been walking for hours, and it started to rain really hard. The Michael just took off, Eve and me ran as fast as we could. Then we heard this ear splitting shriek, and we found Claire doubled-over. She looked like she was in so much pain I could stand it, I ran to her and tried to talk to her but she kept saying " He's coming… Not going to stop til he finds me" Eve and Michael looked like they have seen a ghost, when she let go of her head. She looked so confused. All she said was " Catch me". Then I caught her as she fell to the ground.

AN: i know it's not much, but i would like to see how the R&R goes before i move further. please be honest but not like brutal. merci.
