Check Mate
My Birthday. How the hell did they know? I thought no one could stand me. My Parents. They must have said something. At least I know my parents are safe. "Myrin, why didn't you say something? Let me know that you are still on the good side?"
"I couldn't, my dear, for you see if I had told you, Bishop would have noticed changes in your behavior, and besides I thought you would be over zealous that your boy would be set free."
He's free. Shane is free. I didn't know how to feel. Should I feel relief? Should I feel happy? I don't feel anything. Why didn't I feel anything? No time. Think later. "Okay, let's finish this game of chess once and for all."
"Come on, Claire you have do this right."
"Yeah, says the vampire who doesn't actually cause the explosion." I got a chuckle out of him.
Myrin then straightened. "It's time." All joking gone.
No, I'm not ready. Not for this but, do I really have a choice? One word, No. So, with that Myrin swept out of the room off to free Michael. I quickly went to work, mixing all ingredients consecutively. I now had less than five minutes to get the hell out of this corroder. So I did what don't do best, I RAN! Five minutes later, BOOM! I was on my way to the rondevo point where I was told to meet Oliver, when a vampire stamped started. I couldn't go forward, I couldn't go back, I was simply surrounded, so I stopped. I just stood there, waiting, waiting for anyone on Amelie's side. Just then, I saw a flash of golden hair and a white billowy shirt. Myrin and Michael were running full force in the direction I had been heading, I started to fallow, quickly losing sight of them, so I kept on the path I was headed. Right as I got near the back wall, I saw Myrin and Michael disappear into what appeared to be thin air. So I was heading straight for the portal when I instantaneously regretted the chess metaphor. The black king was standing in front of me. I was hit from behind and my vision went black.
"Check Mate."
