The Fight Over Claire

Summary – What happens when Myrin goes crazy and can't come back to sanity, takes Claire, but Shane finds out? Here is some long awaited (well, for me anyway) Shane/Myrin action. No, not action as in that kind of action you dirty minded fans!

AN: Hey, don't read this without reviewing! I could use some tips, but this is only my first fanfic so please be nice!

Chapter 1

Myrin

Hmmm... Bob's Sleeping, and apparently Claire is too. Humans. So fragile and insignificant, so little time for life, yet they don't seem to want an upgrade, well, if Claire didn't live with those idiotic people who think being a vampire is a curse, maybe she would see that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, she does use her brain. Oh, I do miss ada so much, even if she did want to kill me, Claire would defiantly be better, maybe on intelligence too...

I can't stay here any longer, bob's friends are starting to get a little... smelly, not that I particularly notice, but Claire says that it stinks worse than ever, she comes in with some kind of weird white thing over her mouth and nose... I did tell her to take it off, but she started gagging. I don't remember the last time I gagged... then again I don't remember the last time I had to bother actually breathing. So that only leaves Oliver or Amelie. I haven't talked to Amelie in a while; nowadays I only get to talk to her when there's a big, massive hullabaloo. Although, they do take away the boredom of being bored. Oliver hates me, and Amelie usually has some important founder stuff to do. I think I'll just drop in on Claire, see how her life's going. I still can't get over the fact she chose Shane over me. Can you believe it? I'm far sexier and I have much more intelligence.

Claire

"Ohmygodthesearegood" well, Eve approved of the cupcake in her mouth as she slammed the door.
"We're back, anyone missed us?" I called just as the ghost of Miranda came swooping up to us, totally freaked out Eve, and Shane appeared around the corner with a huge grin on his face. His smile is the best in the world, and I get to see it every day, I still can't believe how lucky I am. Michael came running down the stairs vamp-speed because of Eve's startled scream, when he realised that there was no danger, he took the grocery bags off Eve to carry them into the kitchen. Shane copied him, but took my bags, which meant I could flop down on the sofa and watch the TV before going upstairs to study for a big physics exam I have in two weeks. "mmmmmm... Oliver made a good decision to sell cupcakes, these are amazing!" although, that sounded more like "mmmm... Olib mada godesizeon dasel copcoks, des rmazng" because my mouth was so full. "You know" Shane said as he walked into the room, "I heard that they were for the vampires, they put blood in them." At that, I spat out the cakes into a handkerchief, but Eve merely swallowed and replied, "Nice try Collins, but you said that ages ago about the coffee at Common grounds, that trick only works once." Ah. Shane was almost rolling on the floor he was laughing so much that I actually fell for it. I walked to the kitchen and made sure that I hit his arm on the way.

Michael was talking to someone, presumably a vampire, as from what I could see, which was only the back of him. It took me this whole thought process and more before I realised that he was wearing a long, dark cloak and pink fluffy slippers. That could only mean one thing. My super-crazy vampire boss, Myrin had decided now was a good time for a visit. Shit. Shane was in the next room, and if he found Myrin in the house, he would kill Myrin, or try, that's a fight I would rather avoid. Right on cue, he turned around, "Claire, I need you to come to work, you see, I think that I'm on the verge of discovering something very important, it could change the whole way we see and think about alchemy."

"No Myrin, I can't, you gave me the week off, and it's Shane's birthday the day after tomorrow, I want to make it special for him. And secondly, I'm not that good at Alchemy, all that's going to happen is you'll moan at me for not being able to understand what the hell you're talking about and I don't want or need that stress right now" Myrin look rejected, and for an instant, I thought about giving in, "No Myrin, no means no. That's my final answer."

"but what if it's the wrong answer?"

Why wasn't Michael saying anything? Oh no, the glazed look in his eyes told me everything, "what the fuck have you done to Michael! Get him out of this trance or I'll-"Shit. Myrin's eyes were red, not a good sign, especially since he was totally insane sometimes, and had bitten me, almost killing me when he was in this mood. "You'll do what Claire? Will you stake me? Or will I just dodge around the stake? You're coming with me."

I don't know weather there's any point in continuing with this, so pleasepleasePLEASE R&R! As I said, I seriously need someone to help me!:D
