Claire's Pov:

Today was like any other day until we got a loud banging on the front door of the Glass House. Everybody in the house immediately shot up in their beds and ran down the stairs.

Michael was the first one to get there and he unlocked the door slowly, opening it a tiny bit. Making sure that who it was, was safe. I clung onto Shane's arm and when Michael turned around, I knew that look on his face. The look of regret and hatred.

Oliver, the owner of Common Grounds walked in through the door. Eve's ex-boss, speaking of Eve, she trooped down the steps behind me and locked the front door. Oliver looked like he was tired, vampires rarely were. This was serious business. And serious in Morganville was no surprise.

"Oliver? What's happened?" I asked, I was afraid to say that my other house-mates were all terrified of him.

"Stay inside. Never go outside again, do you hear me?" He ordered, I tilted my head to the side and he sighed. "There is something out there, something I can't believe."

"What is it?" Michael asked and went to the kitchen, we all followed him and he looked out the window to the front of the house. My mouth dropped. This can't be happening.

"Hey Mike! It's like we've gone into the zombieworld game we were playing last night!" Michael turned and growled low at him, Shane was taken back by that. I took Shane's hand in mine, holding it tightly. They looked similar to people, only they were not.

They were bleeding and rotting. Zombies. They weren't real. But that is what I told myself when I first found out about the vampires. What's next? Ghosts and witches? I tried not to jinx it, so I didn't say it out loud.

"T-They can't kill us. C-Can they?" I stammered, terrified. Eve went to the front door again and began to lock it with wood.

"The vampires are safe. The humans...No. Michael, you and I have to protect them. I was sent here. Amelie sent me here. I have to do as she says." We all nodded. Michael's face was pale white, he looked like he would never move again. I put a hand on his shoulder and shook him gently.

"Michael?" I asked,

"This can't be happening, Claire! They're not real!" He shouted and shook his head, he walked out the room.

"W-What are you going to do? Us three can't leave the house," I explained. Meaning me, Shane and Eve.

"While the humans all go into hiding – the vampires will try and hold them back." I nodded slowly.

"How did this happen?" I asked, usually in a zombie film – there would've been a disease of some sort.

"A turn went wrong. A vampire tried to turn a human into what Michael and I are. It failed for some unknown reason and that was the first...Monster. Then it spread through a simple bite." Oliver explained. Eve ran around for Michael. There was a banging on the front door.

"Don't open it." Oliver cautioned. I nodded, I would never. I turned around to Shane and he looked scared. More scared than he had ever been in his life. Well, he probably felt the same as he did when his father, Frank Collins was back in town – right up in his face. Right up in my face too.

"Shane!" I shook him, "It's all going to be, fine." I leant up, forgetting that Oliver was there and kissed him hard on the lips. He returned to earth again and kissed me back harder, wrapping his arms around me. His hands rested on my lower back and I locked my hands around his neck.

Oliver left the room and occupied himself with blacking out the other windows in the house, locking every possible entrance which the...Z-Zombies could use to get in. It still took me a while to register what was actually happening. Last night was just your normal night and today was...Mental. Insane.

Shane pulled back first and brushed his lips again mine, teasing me. "Sorry. Now isn't the time," I pouted adorably and he groaned quietly.

He kissed me hard once more and locked his fingers in mine, he dragged me into the living room where Michael and Eve were sat down next to each other on the couch, holding each other.

Eve mouthed to me; "Blood." I nodded and kissed Shane's hand before walking into the kitchen, I opened up the fridge and hesitantly took out Michael's 'juice' which we all knew was blatantly blood, it might as well have a sticky label on it.

I handed it to Eve and she placed it in front of Michael's face. He took it from her slowly and sipped it warily in front of her. When Michael put it down a few seconds later, Eve kissed him.

Wait...He still had the human blood on his lips. Eve didn't care. I shuddered slightly and I turned to Shane, he looked utterly disgusted by the whole scene. Oliver entered the room and looked like he was going to throw up.

"Young love. Bleh." I rolled my eyes,

"We can't stay in this house forever you know. I have school." I said,

"You can't go to school, Claire. You can't be serious! Your physic's teacher is probably a zombie by now!" Shane said, I sighed. He did have a point.

"Sorry, I was being stupid." I murmured, Shane turned to Oliver.

"Seriously man, we need food and things. They will eventually get in the house sooner or later. I've seen it happen in games," he said it like he was proud of it. Oliver nodded.

"We will stay here for as long as we can, Shane." I rested my head in the crook of his neck and sighed. He wrapped one arm around me, considering what was happening; our friends could be dead – we were handling it pretty well, all of us. Apart from Michael. Who was freaking out.

I think it was just the pressure. That he had to look after Eve. He would spend every possible second with her now. Not that I minded one bit, it was just going to be a little creepy Oliver watching us every second of the day.

"If there really is nowhere else to go. Then we'll go into the hidden room upstairs. They're too stupid to even think of looking up there. Even if they can smell you." That sent shivers down my spine.
