Claire's POV.

It was breakfast time at the glass house. Claire was still contemplating the other day. She was still in awe at how alike Alice was to Myrnin. Yet soo totally different. Her face structure was shaped similar ,but her eye's a deep blue. She had his black hair but it was now straight unlike in the picture Claire had found. Even so there was no doubt in her mind who it was that had nearly attacked her. She laughed darkly as she thought about how she must get that from Myrnin too. Unpredictable and uncontrollable. Claire was stirring her well-needed coffee when she heard a knock at the door. Claire saw eve go to open the door, she listened as Eve spoke to whoever it was. A male voice. Claire then heard Eve shout,

"Claire it's for you!" Claire sighed, she knew without fail who it must be. And to prove her assumptions correct was Myrnin, looking down awkwardly. He looked up at Claire and smiled in a way which told Claire he was about to ask for something. He soon spoke up,

"I was wondering if you could help me with something." He paused, Claire looked at him for to carry on. "Well the girl you met the other day was-"

"Your daughter Alice. I know."

"You do? Well that shortens the explaining. Well as you saw she can't exactly be trusted outside among humans but she is in need of some clothing. I was hoping you could join me so I can have your opinion on what she may like." He looked at her, pleading. She really didn't want to have to go shopping with her crazy arss boss to get clothes for his crazy arss daughter. Claire said the first excuse that came to mind.

"I have-"

"I know you don't have classes today Claire so don't even try it. Please Claire." Myrnin begged.

"Fine, I'll take you shopping." She sighed. Eve ,who had recently vacated to the kitchen, popped her head round the corner and grinned at them both.

"Did I hear shopping? I'm in! I don't care who with." Claire rolled her eyes and nodded for her to come. She was slightly relieved that someone was going to help her on this trip ,that was probably not going to go very well.

Once Claire and Eve got their stuff together they all left to go to Morganville's only shopping mall. It was small and only had a few crappy shops but it would do for the task in hand. They first went to a shop which sold women's clothing. Claire decided she had never truly seen Myrnin so human until this point. He was like an average bloke ,a clueless dad and a helpless fashion amateur all in one. He moved around the store awkwardly, obviously looking out of place among all the girls clothes, especially in his flared jeans, billowing Victorian coat and bright purple sweater. And not to forget his sun-protecting hat and gloves. He picked up many things that ,even Claire thought, was way to eccentric. She had only seen the girl for a few minutes and knew she shared more in common with Eve's style then Myrnin's. Claire was really shocked to see how much of a dad he was being about this. He turned down any clothes that were too revealing, giving lame excuses like "The colours not right" . But Claire could see it in his eye's when he looked that the clothes, it was a look which totally said There's-no-way-my-little-girl-will-be-caught-dead-in-that. They eventually found a few things that looked around Alice's size.

They had picked out two skirts, one with skulls on and the other just plain black. A few T-shirts, again with skulls on and others with hearts. They had got some jeans, most of which were quite unflattering and none were like the skinny black ones Eve had suggested, the nicest looking pair were some baggy ones with rips. Eve had picked up a few things for herself, most of which involved leather and chains. Claire even got herself a cute top with that said "Zombies love geeks."

As they walked out they past by a jewellery shop, just a small one, the only things in there worth looking at were way out of Claire's price range. Myrnin stopped and walked into the shop. Eve and Claire looked at each other in confusion and waited as Myrnin went inside. Claire looked through the window to see Myrnin holding a small locket, he went to the counter and spoke to the man there. The man took the locket to the back and came back with it a while later. Myrnin looked at it closely and smiled. He nodded and paid the man. When he got outside Claire asked him,

"What's that?" He put the locket in one of his bags and shrugged.

"A locket." He said, which earned him a mental slap from Claire because she wouldn't dare try and really slap him. She just rolled her eye's and they kept walking.

"So how do you know that she won't just run away while your gone." Asked Claire as they was walking. Myrnin was silent for a moment then Claire turned see him standing there with his eye's wide open. He cursed under his breath and took of.

"I've got a feeling someone's gonna be grounded." Said Eve.

Sorry this is a short one but I want to make what happens next a different chapter. But here's a small spoiler for you, the next chapter will be the first time you will read from Alice's POV.
