Claire,s POV
I hurried after Myrnin oh boy was this going to be bad.
i entered the glass house to see Myrnin holding Shane up against the wall. Now this wasn't the crazy cute eccentric adorable Myrnin I knew oh no, this was the savage unpredictable angry vampire Myrnin. He had his fangs bared and his eyes were a deep shade of crimson.
Ok I know Shane cheated on me but that dosen,t mean I want him dead! Myrnin probably sensing my discomfort said "do not fret little Claire I will not kill this excuse for a human, even though I ought to for what he,s done I am merely going to teach him a lesson."
with that said Myrnin drops Shane, coughing and spluttering on the floor and then says " Now i believe that you owe Claire here an apology"
Shane gives me a cruel grin and says " I am sorry Claire that you are a fang banging ugly whore I know that you can't help being who you are and can never change"
My eyes start filling with tears , how could he say that to me.
I hear a low growl and look to Myrnin , and am so shocked that i can't bring my eyes to look away. He looks overcome with fury and is directing a bone chilling glare at Shane , his eyes are completely white showing how much power he has and even with him not looking at me i still involuntarily shiver.
Shane has fallen to the ground and is writhing on the floor as Myrnin looks at him, he looks like he is being crushed. I thought Amelie was the only Vampire who could do that and I know how much effort and strength it takes.
Myrnin then says in a Quiet voice laced with venom " apologise to Claire and this time do it properly"
Shane whimpers and says meekly " sorry Claire"
Myrnin then breaks his hold on Shane, leaving him thrashing around on the floor in agony and takes my hand leading me back through the portal and into the lab.
I look at him and see that all traces of anger have gone from his brown orbs and face and that the normal Myrnin is back again.
The Myrnin that is kind and considerate
The Myrnin that is passionate about his work
The man Myrnin, not the Vampire Myrnin.
He goes to the kitchen leaving me on the couch , probably going to have some blood. Using all that power must of took a lot out of him.
He returns and I can see he is looking completely rejuvenated. He comes and sits besides me on the couch and says " are you ok My dear?"
I then remember what Shane said to me that caused Myrnin to lose his temper and feel my eyes start to water. Myrnin takes me in his embrace and I just put my head on his shoulder and cry releasing all of my pent up emotion. Once my tears have subsided Myrnin speaks again " Claire do not take any notice of what the Collins boy said you are beautiful and are one of the most intelligent people I have ever had the fortune to meet "
wait did Myrnin just call me beautiful? I have no time to contemplate over this though as my phone rings
I remove myself from Myrnin, s arms to get my phone as I do this i look at the clock that I made myrnin get and I am shocked to see that it is 11 at night.
I quickly answer the phone and Eve,s high pitched voice comes blaring out , and it isn't even on speaker!. " finally! Claire where the hell Are you , I've been worried sick , why haven't you been answering your phone!"
" Eve , please calm down I am perfectly fine , I am at Myrnin,s lab and I must of not heard the phone ring" I say answering all of her questions.
" Why are you at Myrnin's lab so late". Eve says suspicion present in her voice.
I sigh " I am at the lab because Shane cheated on me and I didn't, want to be around him"
" Shane cheated on you! How dare he I am going to kick his ass dont you worry CB, are you coming back to the glass house now?" She asks
i sigh again " dosent seem like I have much choice as there, s nowhere else I can stay"
" you know you can stay here if you like Claire , you are more than welcome to" Myrnin, s quiet voice pipes in. " but I understand if you would much rather stay at the glass house" he says,s looking down
Ignoring his last comment I say " Myrnin I would love to stay here , but are you sure I don't want to be a burden".
Myrnin beams " I am absolutely positive Claire i wouldn't have offered if I was not, you will not be a burden in the slightest I could use the company"
i smile. " Then I will be happy to stay here with you , let me just go grab some of my things"
that,s when I remember that eve is still on the phone and is probably wondering where the hell I've gone. I cut off the phone and quickly open a portal to the glass house to be met with a tornado of black charging at me and enveloping me in a bone crushing hug. " oh Claire thank god your alright " When she finally lets me go i say "Eve I told you I was fine and safe at Myrnin's lab, oh and by the way he offered for me to stay there with him for a bit, you know to be away from Shane"
Eve shoots me a disapproving look. " but Claire you know what he, s like he can snap at any moment ". " Eve come on he, s not like that anymore , sure he has his moments but doesn't everyone? And anyway i can defend myself you know". i urge
Eve sighs " ok fine stay there but just know I'm not happy about it " it wasn't exactly the response I was hoping for , but at least she is alright with my decision...kinda.
i smile at her and rush upstairs to gather my things, not everything just the Essentials. Once I've got everything I need I rush back downstairs , say a quick goodbye to Eve and open a portal to the place that will be my home for god knows how long.
When I go through to the lab I notice that the lab looks tidier than I left it and then I notice Myrnin sat in his armchair reading a book about alchemy or physics or Something related to science. He looks up at me and smiles , not his manic smile or fake smile , a genuine smile that only seems to come out when I'm around.
" ahh Claire you are back, what do you care to do?"
" how about we , umm i dont really know"
" I know " , Myrnin says jumping up and down. " let's play truth or dare!"
oh god no " Myrnin there is NO way I'm going to play truth or dare with you , don't you remember what happened last time I agreed to that?!" He looks at his feet. " Morganville nearly burn down!" I say realising he is not going to answer my question. " your no fun" he mutters. " I happen to be very fun" I say in response to this. " then play truth or dare with me"
"no"
"yes"
"No"
"yes"
"NO!"
"YES!"
Realising that he will keep saying yes i stop, I'm not that childish!
i sigh " ok Myrnin , how about we watch a movie?"
" Movie,s are boring" he replys. " have you even ever seen a movie?" I ask , he inspects his nails " that does not matter" oh my god he has never seen a movie, that is just crazy! " how can you not of ever watched a movie!?" " I havent the time" wow that is the most stupid exucuse that I have ever heard, he,s alone most of the time so has plenty of free time, it's not as if he has to spend every second working and I doubt he has a social life. " Myrnin now I have even more reason to watch a movie" then I pause If he has never seen a movie then I doubt he has any DVDs or even a tv to play the movie on. Then I have an idea " Myrnin we can go to the cinema!" He groans " ugh this is going to be one of the worst nights of my life!"
" drama queen" i mutter he looks up at this " I am not!"
"are to"
"am not"
" Are to"
"am not"
"ARE TO!"
"AM NOT!"
" oh come on" I say dragging him out of the door. " Hey!" He interjects, that,s when i realize that to get to the cinema we will have to drive , and with Myrnin, s terrible driving... Oh god why did I ever suggest the cinema?
it would of been safer to play truth or dare rather than get into a car with the worlds most reckless driver.
Myrnin starts the car ( after about 10 minutes ) and finally we start moving, very slowly. " Myrnin grandma day can walk quicker than this " I groan. I really regret saying that as the next moment Myrnin starts going faster... And faster until he is well over the speed limit. We approach a turn and I scream as the car just by a fewCenter meters misses the Curb. " dear god Myrnin!" " well you said to go faster" he says flashing me a cheeky grin.
By the time we arrive at the cinema Myrnin has nearly ran over 5 people, one being an old woman! And has basically broken every law in the book.
" thank god that's over " I say. Then I point my finger at him " I am never I repeat NEVER getting into a car with you again" he flashes me a dazzling smile " remember little Claire we still have to get back to the lab i groan he really needs driving lessons.
but Myrnin being the most stubborn man ever will probably drain the driving instructor if he says he is doing something wrong or teach him something that he dosent know , Myrnin never likes to be told what to do and hates being wrong.
" come on Claire let's go to the cinema!" Myrnin says jumping up and down. I look at him " I thought you hated the idea of going to the cinema" " I did , but now I remember that Cinema,s have popcorn and soda and sugar it's going to be the best night ever!" He screams dashing off in a blur towards the cinema, he then zooms back and throws me over his shoulder ignoring my shouts of protest and theN everything is a blur, this night is going to be eventful!
