"Why do you love him?" asked Myrnin as he dumped a pile of used clothing from the lab table.
"You mean Shane?" I asked trying to avoid the question.
"Yes, Claire. Him," There was bitterness in his voice that stung me in an unusual way.
"Shane is strong and understands me." I answered, very sure that my answer was foul proof, but I was wrong.
"Aren't I those same exact things Claire?" rebutted Myrnin with a swooping hand gesture.
"Well…um…Shane is also always there for me. He can protect me." There I thought He can't get me now.
"I occasionally go outside; I am pretty much here. Wouldn't that count as always being there for you? By the way, I am a vampire, so the protecting aspect is quite easy," spoke Myrnin with ease as though he rehearsed every line.
"Well…Shane is," I started, ready to win.
"Face it, Claire. Anything your boyfriend can do I can do better. See."
He moved closer to my head and stopped centimeters from my face.
"Close your eyes," he demanded. I never hesitated.
Within milliseconds, Myrnin was kissing me, passionately as though life had stopped all around us. It felt like it lasted forever, but in reality it was only a minute. I had to give it to him; he was right. Shane could never top this.
He moved to my neck and just nibbled there, never biting. I clasped my arms around his neck and continued caressing his head, his face, his cheeks, and occasionally his lips. I sat on top of the lab table, so I could actually reach more of his face, knocking down test tubes, books, and who knows what.
Suddenly, I felt the loss of something and looked up to see Myrnin staring down at me. I tried to speak, but I was stopped by a finger over my lips. "I don't need feedback, sweet Claire." He left and went to his room. Did he really seem angry at himself or was it me? I touched my lips and just thought about what transpired.
"Excuse me, Claire," said an icy voice. I turned around confused. There she was, the Founder, the ice queen, and better known as Amelie.
I started to ramble, something that was a huge flaw in me.
"I saw everthing," she spoke, obviously not happy with me.
Just like that, I woke up.
