I got no reviews for the last chapter but I've decided that I'll put chapters up no matter if I get reviews or not. I don't mind though I do really love reviews so if you would be kind enough to write a quick review it would make me so happy. (:

But yes, here is the third chapter. I decided I'd make this a Collins chapter so you have a little peak into Frank's head and then a scene from Shane's POV. Enjoy and please R&R!


CHAPTER 3: "Them"


Frank's POV


It kills me to see this, to see her working here with crazy Vampo. I know how much my son loves this girl but with Vampo, I can see death and she will be killed by him.

I can't watch it though.

Every time I see Myrnin get angry and hungry around Claire, I have to run. I see the way Shane looks at her, the love I see in his eyes for her and then I can't watch her get hurt or worse. I can almost see the look that Shane's face would hold when he found out, I can almost see him turning into a killer, turning into me in that second.

Yes, I had wanted him to be like me. The idea of him killing vampires and being on the human's side in a war is a great thought to me but I don't want him to do it because of a broken heart like I did. I came in here and tried to destroy the vamps while thinking about my wife and daughter, the two wonderful girls in my life who I had lost. I know Shane has already lost a sister, a mother and a father but I don't want him to lose the one person who will put him over the line, the person that if lost will make him kill every vampire he sees without thinking about what will happen to him.

I watch Myrnin when Claire leaves, I watch him as he goes and destroys the lab. I don't understand him, I can understand some vampires to a point, I see the reason they do some things but this one, this one is just insane.

He is insane and he is going to kill Claire one day. I need to find some way to stop him from killing the girl my son loves. I need to.

Shane's POV

Claire explained to Shane what was happening and why they were going to church on Sunday.

He didn't understand why they had to do this. So, some church guy had come to Morganville, the vampires would be watching to make sure everything was alright.

He worked out it then. Claire was the vampires eyes, that was becoming her job and he didn't like that, he didn't like Claire doing jobs for the vampires. He still didn't like her working for Myrnin. He was insane and he had seen the way he looks at her, he didn't like it and he didn't want Claire stolen from him by an insane vampire scientist.

He didn't say anything at dinner, just shoveled his food into his mouth and not giving himself a chance to open his mouth and talk. He knew that he would say something stupid if he did.

After dinner he went out for a walk. Claire tried to get him to stay, Eve called him stupid and Michael, Michael was already gone, out to hang out with his vamp friends or something. He ignored Eve and told Claire he would be quick, that he would make sure he was home before it got too dark and that he would be careful, making sure his pin was visible.

Truthfully, he didn't actually think the pin would make any difference if he was attacked by some insane vampire. If he was really hungry and he saw food he wouldn't always worry that it was someone else's. He shivered at that thought, the bracelets made the humans property of a particular vampire, kind of like they are being saved as meals on a later date.

He pushed away the thought away and he began to run. Running in the cool night he felt better, he didn't have to think about anything but putting one foot in front of the other and it relaxed him a bit.

Well, until he ran into someone else turning a corner.

He ran into a girl and as he saw who it is he frowned. It was Miranda and he knew that just being around her attracted trouble.

"Sorry." Miranda apologized then saw who it was. "Oh, hey Shane, why are you out this late?"

"That's none of your business," he mumbles and walks away.

"It's not safe. You might run into one of them!"

He rolls his eyes and keeps walking. Shane isn't scared of any vampires or he wouldn't be out here.

He gets back into a run but he starts going around the block and back in the direction of Glass House. He just wanted to get out and run out a bit of anger, now it would be safest for him to get home. He knew Claire wouldn't be happy if he got himself hurt.

Again as he turned a corner he ran into someone. This time it was a guy. He quickly checked the guys face, just seeing his skin to make sure it wasn't overly pale but the guy actually had very dark skin and Shane relaxed a bit but not much. Just because the guy wasn't a vamp didn't mean he was safe, there were some quite dangerous people in Morganville. Shane at some stages could be counted as one.

"Hey man! Have you heard about Liam Manda? He's coming to Morganville, he'll be running a service on Sunday. You should so come!" The guy stood in front of Shane with a bright smile and passed him a flyer. "Here's all the info you need, hope to see ya there! I do remember faces."

Shane looked down at the flyer in his hand and put it in his jean pocket, shrugging at the guy that had given it to him.

"I remember faces and I better see you there on Sunday," the guy said, he voice sending a small shiver down Shane's spine.

Shane laughed, "You really think I'm scared of you?"

And he walked away. The guy that he'd run into said something else but Shane was already running towards Glass House and didn't hear it.

Shane now had a really bad feeling about going to the church thing on Sunday but he had to go, Claire wasn't going to change her mind and he wouldn't let her go by herself. Well, maybe he might be able to make her change her mind.

I know this chapter isn't too interesting but I promise that it will get much more interesting in the next chapters!
