Hey guys,
Sorry about long wait
But the other day I had finally finished this chapter and then BAM everything went...
All my documents... Yeah, was not in a good mood at all... So I've had to *attempt* to re-write it all
Again, sorry.
Anyhow, hope you enjoy,
Terri xx
Claire was standing on the far side of the hall, her and Shane held hands and attempted to dance. They were failing miserably. But it was very funny, at random moments she may stand on his foot or his on hers or they'd accidentally fall into another couple. For the first time in the past couple of months, everything seemed normal. Shane was laughing and smiling for the first time in ages and she felt happy. Everything had left her mind. "Mind me having this dance?" A voice chuckled from beside Claire, she turned to be greeted by Myrnin. She stole a glance at Shane who's face had dropped entirely, she would have said no but she couldn't- not to Myrnin anyway. She smiled at Myrnin.
"Of course" She said sweetly, as she took Myrnin's hand she quickly looked again at Shane and said "I won't be long."
Myrnin smiled brightly as they walked away from Shane who was glaring at the pair, when they got to the middle of the room Myrnin kept hold of one of Claire's hands and put another around her waist. "I must warn you, I can't dance to save my life" Claire laughed. Myrnin chuckled.
"You'll know by the end of this week" Myrnin said before the next song started up. Claire was entirely surprised, Myrnin led them both and he moved smoothly around the room, there was no standing on feet, no bumping into anyone else or randomly stopping to laugh. They both looked at each other, smiling. Myrnin spinned her around and Claire would hardly stumble. She felt save in his arms suddenly, a feeling she'd never really experienced with him. Myrnin had always been the mad scientist but lately he was becoming more normal. He still had his random outbursts which Claire adored entirely but he seemed more focused. She could entirely trust him now. Just as Claire was getting into the dance, the music came to a soft halt. Both of them froze, staring into each others eyes for a few seconds until Myrnin took his hands off of her and cleared his throat. "You should return to Shane now" he muttered, turning away from Claire and walking swiftly away. Claire sighed and watched him leave until she felt a presence beside her again, it was Shane.
"Well that was strange" he said.

"Well that was strange" Oliver said, standing beside a sitting Mae "did you just see Claire and Myrnin?"
"Of course I did" Mae muttered.
"Do you believe that she may possibly like the old fool?"
"Of course she does Oliver, yet if she loves him is a completely different question" Mae said before standing up just as Bizzie came up the stairs to the small platform. "Yes Bizzie?"
"Ma'am, there's been reports of Bishop on the outskirts of town" Bizzie said quickly.
Mae sighed and glanced over at Oliver.

Amelie had been with Samuel all night. She wouldn't hold his hand, but she stayed ever so close to him. Michael came over to them to speak to his grandfather earlier that night and since then Samuel had hardly said anything. In the back of her head she knew Michael was angry at her, she was taking his grandfather away from him. His last family member. And for that; she was sorry.
But she had to get away from Morganville, she had been there for to long and she needed a break. She knew it would be hard, her and Samuel living outside of the safe boarders of her town, but she just needed a little break. Another thing worrying her was the fact that she had left Morganville in the (more than) capable hands of Mae, but that had brought up tension between Mae and Oliver. Before she had mentioned going away the pair had became quite close (not that neither of them would admit it.) But since them the two had been having constant arguments, not that they hadn't before but before they would just have little debates. Now the two would get close to killing the other and their fights would be over the most petty of things.
Amelie had been trying to fix the pair, she even thought about making them both equal to the hierarchy of Morganville but she couldn't tell if that would cause more disagreements. Morganville needed one leader, and that was to be her own daughter.

The wind blew ferociously and her hair flew around her, the odd bits of sand would travel through the wind as well. Mae detested living in the desert. She hated the hot days and freezing nights, not that the temperature effected her that much, she still didn't like the sunlight even if she was quite prone to it, she liked the wind, but it annoyed her, especially with the fact that she was trying to search the bitter blackness to find her grandfather. "Stay close" A gruff voice said from a few metres away, it was Oliver.
"Oliver you are aware that it is only you and I out here and I am the one who gives the orders right?" Mae said coldly. She could here Oliver sigh stubbornly and his footing got louder as he stomped angrily. Slowly, she walked closer to him and then almost silently she mumbled "there's someone behind that bin." Oliver nodded, Mae hardly noticed his nod as it only looked like he'd moved his head slightly. Oliver walked over to the bin acting normally, putting a small distance between him and Mae, suddenly there were gunshots and Oliver fell down as something jumped out behind Mae and she turned to come to an abrupt halt as she came face to face with her grandfather.
