Shane was still upset. It had been a few weeks since the run in with Bishop and the Fighting club and Shane was doing everything he could to make it up to Claire for coming so close to hurting her.

Claire's POV

Here he goes again saying sorry, begging for forgiveness I tell him every time "Shane its ok I forgive you" yet he still carries on. Today was no different, we'd woken up together in Shane's room last night had been exciting. The Claire I wanted to be was only around when I was with Shane. He was apologising again he still couldn't believe he had come so close to hurting me. "I'm so sorr" He was saying again but I cut him off "Shane stop it, stop saying sorry" "But" he started "No just leave it I know you feel bad but just stop, your forgiven and your going to have to let go of me soon or Myrnin will be going mental soon" he raised his eyebrows at me "Fine mental-er than he already is but that saying would work on anybody else apart from Monica Morrell!" We burst out laughing and slowly he let me out of the warm hug we had entangled ourselves in. I didn't want to leave him it had been a while since we had laughed without the bad thoughts hovering awkwardly in-between us. Now life could carry on.

I slowly and I mean slowly as Shane kept grabbing for me, got out of bed and stumbled across the dim room. I squealed when something hard touched my foot only to realise it was a dvd cover that had been casually thrown across the room. Shane was laughing at me again and I could make out his large figure reaching for me from the bed. I squealed again, ran out the room laughing and screaming at the same time and ran for my room. I grabbed all clean clothes as it appeared I was only wearing pants and Shane's shirt. I pegged it to the bathroom just as Shane left his room, groaning slightly. It was 9 in the morning which is way to early for Shane. He saw me stood frozen at the bathroom door and he started heading for me. I jumped through the doorway, shut the door and shouted a victory "HA!" before getting in the shower.

Shane's POV

Well at least I knew Claire forgave me but I still felt like a complete dickhead for even thinking for a second of hurting her. I headed downstairs with a banging headache – the problem with early mornings- I went into the kitchen and started up the coffee machine. If i was going to be up might as well stay up with a bit of energy. 2o minutes later Claire wandered in looking fresh and kissable, I really had to hold myself back, I gripped my coffee mug slightly harder for support. "I'm going now mental Myrnin is waiting" she said and I sniggered, the vamp was more than mental!

Claire's POV

I kissed Shane goodbye, it took a bit longer than I had expected but it didn't bother me the longer I spent with Shane the less with Myrnin he was nice but sometimes I wasn't in the mood for his craziness. I started up the portal and let it click to Myrnin's lab I waved goodbye and stepped through. It was an interesting experience every time but I was quite used to it now. I now stood in the lab which had all the lights on and the towers of books and mechanisms hanging precariously all over the room. "Myrnin?" I said not too loudly as he was a vampire he could hear my heartbeat "I'm over here" I heard him say so I put my bag down by the door for the portal and stepped around a pile of books to be greeted by black.
