Claire backed down the steps, She could hear the Angel Banging hard on the door trying to get in.
"Please" She said to the house "Don't let it in, hold it off"
Pain was shooting threw Her wrist, It was defiantly Broken, She went to the back of the small room and sat on the couch Trying not to move Her wrist, It was hard because Her whole body was Shaking, How could the Statue move so fast? How was it alive? She needed to talk to Myrnin, He knew a lot of Crazy things, maybe he had built it ages ago, But why was it in there garage? Who just keeps killing statues around? She needed to go to the hospital and get some answers But She never got Her phone out of Her room, And the Angel was still banging on the wall, Michael would be home soon.. Michael! He would be home any minute and be attacked by a killing Statue and after Him, Eve and Shane. None of them would be ready, they wouldn't know not to blink and It could kill them.
Claire had to warn them somehow, even if it meant having to stare at the Angel until they got here, She slowly started walking up the stairs, When the pounding on the door stopped, Claire froze waiting for it to start again, but it never did. She stood there thinking, if She opened the door it would be there reaching for Her, But what if The reason it stopped is because it gave up? Because it found a new target. The room was sound proof So there was no way to tell if Michael was home, or screaming.
"House please open the door"
The door opened and there was the Angel staring right back at Her, She walked back a step
"Michael!" She yelled down the hall.
No reply.
She carefully walked to the angel and slid by it never taking Her eyes off of it She slowly walked back to Her room and grabbed Her phone off the dresser, Still watching It , She opened Her phone to call Michael
"Of course I don't have a Signal!" She said to herself ,
She started backing away to the staircase trying to boost Her signal when She heard a voice coming from Her phone .
"It's not going to work the Angels shuts off anything with energy"
Claire jumped
"Who are you?"
"I'm John I used to live on your street"
"Used to?"
"Yes. The angel found me and broke my neck. Now I'm dead."
Claire's heart was pounding "Then how are you on my phone?"
"The Angel wants me to tell you That hiding is useless. That He will have you, and hiding is only stalling. He needs you to help him get His energy back."
"And I'm going to help him so he can kill more people? Sorry not happening"
Claire was about to close the phone when the voice called out
"You will die Claire. It doesn't matter if you run He will always find you."
Claire Stopped
"You will help the Angel when He needs you. Whether you want to or not He will have you."
Claire had stopped Breathing and quickly took a breath
"what does he want to do with me?"
"He will take the years from your life and use it to make energy. You will die alone not able to fight. You will never see anyone again. He wants you. He will have you soon. It would be easier if you just let him do it. A lot less painful to."
Claire couldn't help it, She blinked. The angel moved and was only a step away from her, It's eyes sent a chill down Claire's spine. It was going to kill her. Claire dropped Her phone ran over and pushed the hidden button, the door slid open and Claire ran threw it, Again the door slammed shut as soon as she got in. Claire ran down the stairs waiting for It to start banging on the door. But it never did.
Claire sat down on the couch and started crying. Her wrist was still pounding with pain, She couldn't do anything to stop it, She was still Shaking from the look in the angels eyes. Claire had faced many things. But never anything that scared Her so much. She knew She couldn't kill it But it could easily kill Her. Claire sat there for what seemed like forever waiting for It to find a way in. When suddenly She heard the door opening. She took a deep breath and closed Her eyes waiting for It to take Her.
"Claire!?"
She looked up to find Michael standing in the doorway holding a silver stake.
"Claire are you alright? What happened? I looked all over for you I found your phone by the stairs I thought a Vamp took You"
Michael must have realized what a wreck Claire was because He ran down the stairs
"Claire whats wrong?"
Claire didn't know how to explain it,She didn't want to relive it all over again, having to remember the Angel crushing Her wrist while staring at Her , and His creepy Smile when She ran downstairs. Like He was laughing at Her for trying to run. Claire burst into Tears again. Michael sat down and put His strong arms around Her trying to make Her calm down.
"Claire Your safe. No one is going to hurt You"
But She couldn't stop, How much longer did She have till the Angel found Her? Was it waiting in Her bedroom again? Michael pulled a arm back to take His phone out of His pocket He dialed a number and waited until they picked up.
"I found Her, She's pretty shook up"
Claire couldn't hear the person on the other line but he must have asked if She was Hurt because Michael looked up and down Claire looking for anything and saw Her wrist. He carefully took it, Claire winced at the pain it brought
"I think Her wrist is broken,She's pale and shaking pretty bad. You better get here fast And call Eve on your way, Let Her know what happened."
the person on the other line said something
"I don't know man She's to freaked out to tell me Just get here fast."
With that Michael hanged up and looked back at Claire
"Shane's on His way here"
He looked at Claire's wrist being careful not to move it.
"We need to get some ice on your wrist Can you walk?"
Claire Nodded and stood up. Michael Put a arm under Her for support, and together they walked up the stairs. When they reached the top Claire looked around for any signs of the Angel, But there weren't any. He was Gone. Which to Claire was even worse because now He could be anywhere. They went to the kitchen where Michael got Her an Icepack and wrapped it around her wrist. Then walked to the parlor and sat on the couch to wait.
"You know you really did a hell of job cleaning this place, when I first walked in I thought I was in the wrong house"
Clare tried to smile but couldn't stop staring at the corner where She had put the Angel. They waited in Silence until She heard someone open and slam the front door
"Claire!?"
Michael yelled back "Where in here!"
Shane came running down the hall and straight to Claire, He sat down beside Her on the couch and Pulled Her into His arms, Claire layed Her head on His chest, Happy to be able to hold Him,
"Claire are you alright?"
Claire's voice finally came back to Her "No.."
She pulled back but kept Her arm around Him puling Him close
"He is after Me Shane and I don't know how to stop Him. His eyes were..He smiled like He wanted me to go down there like he was laughing.."
Shane looked over to Michael who shook His head
"I have no idea what's She's talking about man, I just found Her in the room"
The front door slammed again And Eve came running down the hall
"What happened and What did I miss?"
Michael answered "Her wrist is broken, She's really shook up, and Nothing yet"
Eve walked over and sat on Michael's lap"What happened CB?"
Claire looked up at Shane,He wrapped both His arms around Her, ""It's okay Your safe now."
Claire took a deep breath. And told them She was done they just sat there in silence, Shane was the first to speak
"I'm sorry Claire, I shouldn't have left You here by yourself"
"It's not your fault Ten."
Shane looked confused, Michael pulled out His phone "Should we call the police?"
Claire was going to say yes but then realized how dumb it would sound
"No they wouldn't believe Us..I wouldn't"
Eve looked up "So what are we supposed to do?"
none of them had a answer to that. Until Claire answered
"Maybe Myrnin would know something? He knows about a lot of old strange things Nine."
Eve asked "Nine?"
"Nine?"
"Yeah CB you said Nine"
"No I didn't"
Eve looked unsure but moved on "Well Then I guess We should visit Myrnin."
Claire raised her Hand "Can we stop by the Hospital first?"
"oh gods CB that looks bad!" Eve walked over to study Claire's wrist "ouch. One stop to the ER coming right up I'll drive"
Eve got up and walked down the hall, Michael followed. Shane helped Claire up and put His arm around Her, together they walked down the hall, and to Eve's car, where they climbed in the backseat.
"Eight"
Michael looked back at Claire
"What?"
"I didn't say anything" Claire looked over at Shane who looked confused.
They pulled out of the driveway and into the streets where Eve headed for the Hospital
"Seven"
Shane jumped and Michael looked back again and asked
"Claire Why are you counting?"
Claire confused answered "Uh.. I'm not"
"Yes You are you've been doing it for a while now from Ten to Seven"
"No I haven't"
Shane looked Scared "Claire..you have been counting. What are You counting for?"
"Shane I have not been counting don't you think I would know if I say something?"
Michael was staring at Her trying to find something "Eve get Us to Myrnin's Fast."
"But We have to get Her wrist"
Michael cut Her off "That's not as important right now. We need to know what Claire's counting to before She stop's."
Eve was about to protest when
"Seven"
Eve slammed on the brakes and made a U turn
"Right Myrnin's"
Eve Hit the gas and the car went flying down the street.
