This chapter is a bit longer than the last, I prefer chapters around this length.

CHAPTER 2: A Piece of Paper

Claire's POV

Claire had quickly drunk the coffee Eve had made for her and burnt her tongue in the process. She was going to be late for class.

As she ran down the street towards TPU she noticed that things seemed not right. Well, they weren't exactly not right they just weren't normal, people weren't acting like they normally would and that scared Claire a bit.

She caught sight of people fighting. About five different couples on the sidewalk standing there, shouting at each other or even just talking in tones that said they were fighting. She felt a bit of stab as she remembered how Michael and Eve had looked talking earlier.

She knew something must be wrong.

As she kept walking she caught people that weren't fighting but looked excited and were giving out handmade flyers. Claire purposely crossed the road so she could grab a flyer and then after walking a little further down the road, she crossed again.

She felt a little nervous about reading the flyer as she remembered the last flyer she'd read, the one about the gym and the fighting lessons. She shivered and looked down at flyer she had just been given.

LIAM MANDA

World famous preacher of the gospel is in Morganville!

This Sunday come and listen to the message that God has given to the people living in this Texas town. Don't miss this chance to hear a message right from the King of the Heavens and the Earth.

At the bottom of the flyer was an address to a building near the edge of the town. Claire bit her lip and sighed. She folded up the flyer and put it in jacket pocket, she didn't have time to worry about it right now, she would have to worry when she got home from the lab tonight. She had to run to class right now.

Classes went by as normal except for the fact that there were people occasionally getting all excited while holding a flyer or fighting with each other. That shouldn't bother her though, people were just excited over a new thing happening in Morganville and she was just noticing the fighting because of Eve and Michael, people fought all the time, there was nothing abnormal about that. Why did she still have a bad feeling about all this?

After classes she quickly stopped by the campus café to get a mocha. She found that it was almost empty, just a group of girls sitting and studying. Claire had never seen the place so empty.

She became very nervous when she had to start walking to the lab to see her crazy vampire boss, Myrnin. With how everything seemed weird today, she wasn't sure what to except from him. He was unpredictable all the time and today she almost knew he would be dangerous.

She took out the key she had to the shack as she walked down the funnel shaped alley and unlocked the door to the house where Myrnin lived.

"Myrnin!" She called out as she closed the door behind her and walked to the top of the stairs. She looked down them into the lab and couldn't see any sign of her boss. Sighing she walked down the stairs and searched the lab as she began to see more of it. By the time she had made it to the bottom of the stairs she still hadn't caught sight of Myrnin.

"Where are you?"

"I'm right here!" Myrnin chirped.

Claire watched him as he walked out of his bedroom and walked right up to her. He walked right into her personal space and she frowned. She took a small step back but worked out after she did that that she shouldn't have.

Myrnin copied her and took a small step towards her, yet again breaking into her personal space.

Claire always felt uncomfortable when her boss was in this mood. He acted as happy as a little kid but he also acted as if he knew about as much as one, meaning he didn't know what the meaning of personal space was. She felt the very faint bite marks on her neck tingle with him so close and she didn't want those marks to become fresh again or worse.

"What are we doing today?" She asked him with a confident smile. She didn't want him to see she was nervous.

Myrnin was staring at her with hunger in his eyes and she wished very much that he'd stop. She wondered how long it had been since he'd had something to drink but decided against asking. He blinked after a few moments and the red haze that had been covering his eyes disappeared. "Huh?"

"Why am I here?"

"Oh yes! Um, Frank, he says that something is wrong but then he won't tell me what's wrong." Myrnin frowned, "Maybe you could ask him?"

Claire knew that he wasn't asking her. She was going to have to ask Frank which didn't bother her too much expect that when she saw Frank she still felt a tiny twinge of guilt for not telling Shane when she'd first found out. She still wondered if things would have been different if Shane had known earlier about his father not being completely dead.

"Frank!" Claire shouts, a bit annoyed by the continuous fighting between Myrnin and Frank.

A black and white image of a biker appears right in front on her and she jumps a bit as he talks through the speaker in her mobile phone which is in her pocket. "Yes Claire Bear?"

Claire glares at Frank. "You said something is wrong, what is it?"

"I said there is something that needs to be watched, not something wrong. Vampo here can't get his information right."

"What is it?"

Frank laughs but answers. "Some new guy in town, seen the flyers? I don't like the look of it, don't think the vamps do either and I won't be able to get a look in the building on Sunday."

Claire sighs because she knows exactly what she is about to be made to do. "Fine."

"Claire, what is he talking about?" Myrnin asks. Claire passes him the flyer.

Myrnin reads the flyer and suddenly looks very angry, he rips the flyer into tiny pieces and growls low in his throat. Claire takes a very small step back without even noticing she's doing it and then thanks herself for memorizing the address that had been on the flyer though she had a feeling it wouldn't be hard to get another one.

She wonders if she should just leave in that moment, Myrnin is angry, Frank seems to have disappeared and she didn't think she was needed for anything else.

"Claire," Myrnin's voice was low and rough and it made her shiver and slowly look up at him again.

"Yes Myrnin?"

He smirks, "I'm thirsty."

And in seconds Claire is being pinned against the closest wall, her head being pulled to the side and Myrnin's mouth hovering over her neck.

She didn't scream or even look scared, she made herself look confident so she wouldn't provoke his instincts. "Myrnin, don't do this."

"Oh why, little Claire? You smell so nice."

"You need me alive to go to that church thing on Sunday and see that nothing bad is happening."

There's another low growl in Myrnin's throat but his hands move away from Claire and he punches a desk with so much force it breaks in half. "I do so hate churches," he says quietly.

"I'm going to go," Claire says, picking up her backpack and getting ready to open a portal to her house.

Myrnin looks up at her, he looks in control again, he is actually smiling. "Bye Claire. Be safe."

She's about to say thanks but stops herself at the last moment and just opens up the portal to the living room of Glass House. She steps through the portal quickly, still a little jumpy around them after seeing what can go wrong and closes it behind her.

Shane is lying on the couch killing zombies.

"Hey, we're going to church on Sunday."

Claire receives the most shocked, confused look from Shane.
