Claire Pov

My phone started to play that spooky ringtone and I knew it was Myrin who was calling me. I looked over at the kitchen wall clock and saw that it was only 8:30 and I didn't have to be in for work for another half an hour. I sighed as I took a sip of my coffee and answered the phone.

"Yes,-"I started in a depressed tone just as Myrin cut me off.

"Claire you have to get down here immediately, something terrible has happened!" Myrin said in a frantic tone.

"What did you do Myrin," My tone was panicky as I drained the rest of my coffee down the drain as I then went to the living room and scooped up diesel who was laying on the couch , I can't leave him here on his own, I thought just as I race to the door and pulled it open, "I'll be at the lab in five minutes," I said as I cut the phone and threw it onto the passenger seat before he could say anything and placed diesel on the seat too. "What has Myrin done now," I mumbled to myself as I started the engine of the escalade and whizzed off down the road. The roads were full of students crossing the road and heading off to the nearby university making my life even more difficult to reach Myrin. Knowing Myrin it could either be a very disastrous scene or a stupid midlife crisis.

I reached the eerie alley that led towards the lab and switched the engine off. I took Diesel in my arms as I ran down the alley way. I reached the crooked door and bent down slightly to enter the lair of Myrin's. I dashed down the stairs as my heart beat rapidly against my chest as I thought of the list of things Myrin could have done to make this the worst day ever and possibly make me the next meal on the plate of a vampire's.

"Myrin what is it?!" I panted as I put my against hand the wall and bent down trying catch my breath from all the running. Myrin turned around to face me with a distraught look on his face he still had his lab coat on and his bunny slippers which had vampire fangs made into them, which immediately told me that I didn't need to run all the way down here or nearly knock over some students to get here fast.

"It's Bob… he's dead," Myrin said as he slumped in the nearby seat and looked over at the glass tank that he used to keep his so called pet spider in. I never liked that thing it always creeps me out when I have to work near it or even walk past it. It would just sit there in the glass tank I always thought it was looking at me but then I remembered a spider has like eight eyes so I didn't know where the hell it was actually looking. I walked over to the tank and peered inside it. It looked dead, 100% dead, it was placed there in the corner of the tank and its legs were just lifeless. I didn't want to poke it or anything just to double check, so I just walked away and sat on the chair opposite Myrin.

"Claire what is that awful stench," Myrin said as he weirdly sniffed the air. I breathed in through my nose and I couldn't detect any awful smell except from the chemicals that were used in the lab.

"What awful stench?" I asked him. After a few brief seconds he looked at me then lowered his eyes, I did the same as I looked down into my arms and just saw my fury dog copped up into my arms peering around the room. "What is that?" Myrin asked in a disgusted tone.

I hugged Diesel closer to me and glared at Myrin," This is Diesel my dog!" I said my voice was high pitched as I continued to glare at Myrin.

"Since when?" He questioned me, he was still staring at the dog but this time he had his nose pinched with his fingers. My dog does not smell!

"Myrin he doesn't stink you can uncover your nose maybe it's just the chemicals," I said in a matter of fact tone as I started to tap my foot impatiently. First he sends me to work early because his stupid pet spider died, and now he's accusing my dog of having a bad odour.

"Claire, stop tapping your foot it is very annoying," He said.

"Then don't say my dog stinks!" I said tapping my foot harder on the ground.

"He does stink he is a mutt he has a very bad odour scent and now you have covered my lab with it all," he said as he tried wafting the area around him trying to get rid of the so called stench. "Now the stench will be all over you and you will smell like that mutt," he grumbled to himself peering at my dog in an un-polite manner.

I sighed, "Myrin what will we be doing today?" I said as I looked around the lab and realized that another clean up would need to be in progress because of all the mess Myrin has managed to create in less than a week. Myrin turned around quickly and faced me a smile on his face which meant I was going to be here all damn day. Better than staying at home on your own Claire, my mind reminded about the empty Founders House I had left just an hour ago, I was quiet now nothing to look forward to when I returned from work just an empty cold home… lifeless just like me.

"Yes I do in-fact we do have a lot of catching up do on young Claire," Myrin said as he snapped me out of my depressed thoughts. He whizzed to the bookshelf at vampire speed and came back and dropped a dusty book on the small round table making dust mist the area around me just for a second. I got up and placed Diesel on the chair I was sitting on.

I looked him straight in the eyes and hoped that the small training I had been giving him would pay off, "Stay," I said to him just as I step back still giving him eyes contact until I bumped into the table and turned around to look at the big dusty book in front of me.

Many Hours later

My arms ached and my eyes were clouded with the tears that had form in my eyes from all the chemical use, I had been doing. I knew it wasn't good to breathe in these toxins but what can I do now I'm the cleverest girl in Morganville and this was my job, maybe forever. I looked down at the watch placed on my aching arm, it felt like the watch weight 2 tons but that was just the lack of energy talking. Myrin had been babbling on but when I looked at my watch carefully I realized that it was long till sunset and I had to be leaving like right now!

"Myrin," I said in a tired voice, muffling in a yawn. He was still babbling on that he had completely ignored me. "Myrin," I said again in the same tone. He still went on ignoring me with his back to me looking at the equation he had written on the board. My jaw tensed a little from the lack of attention he was giving to me when I could become someone's meal any time after 6 o'clock. "Myrin," I shouted with all the energy I had left. Finally after a few brief seconds he looked at me with an annoyed expression on his face.

"What is it Claire?" He asked me in a aggravated tone, well I don't know he was the one with the attitude I was the one carrying out the experiments and breathing in the horrid toxins while he could his breathe for a gazillion years, my fists started to clench just a little.

"I need to go home its almost sunset," I said through a clench jaw. He looked at me impatiently and then over the small wall clock I didn't know he owned. He sighed and mumbled something under his breathe in a different language.

"Fine you can leave," He said in a dismissal tone, I sighed in relive as I thought he was going to make me stay here all night. I went over to the play pen I had made for Diesel out of old brick and wood I found scattered across the lab. My small training sessions hadn't paid off yet but they will soon. I picked him up and scurried up the stairs towards my car and put Diesel into the passenger side and ran to the driver's side and slammed the door shut and locked the car immediately. I closed my eyes briefly before I started the engine and reversed back out of the eerie ally way and down the street taking and short cut home. Random thoughts kept coming into my head as I tried to block out the ones about my housemates… which were practically all of them.

I could feel frustration crawling up my back and clawing its way into me. Why were all my thoughts about my stupid good for nothing friends! Nothing was right with me, the people you love most always leave you. I looked out the window and saw the odd people running down the street before sunset had struck, all the human shops were closed and there really wasn't anyone around it was empty. Sometimes I just felt like sitting in the streets at night and wondering what would happen to me. Then I realized that I was Amelia's property and no vampire could drain me or drink from me without her permission. There was just no easy route out of this. You can survive Claire, without those good for nothing friends, you are Claire Danvers you are a fighter you are better off without them! My mind shouted at me, just before I had reached the Glass House. I took Diesel in my arms and this time I walked to the front door.

This time my heart didn't hammer hard against my chest, it was like a stroll in the park. So what if I was walking on thin ice it's the thrill that makes the adrenalin pump through you making you feel good making you feel like you could actually accomplish something without anyone to lend you a hand I could do it all by myself. Now it came to me that the truth of the matter is that I don't need anyone by my side I don't need a helping hand or words of guidance I just need myself and I can pull straight through this like any other normal person could. A grin spread across my wet face, but wait I'm not normal I'm Claire Danvers!

Yes and there is our Claire, right I hope you all enjoyed that I know it's a little short but I added more action into it! Please tell me what you think by writing a review good feedback or any flaws with my writing please do state down!
