Chapter 4

Shane:

I let her go. I couldn't believe it. I loved her and I just let her go off with that creep. I was going to forget her. Hell I was going to forget everything that happened. I was still going to be some slacker who would beat up anyone that got me a little annoyed. Claire had changed me so much. She had found me a job, she was always there to calm me down and she brought out a side that I never knew I had since Alyssa had died. God I even said I love her. I had never said that to anyone ever in my life, because everyone I loved ended up dead. I had to go to Claire. I had to turn. It was the only way of being with her. "Eve, car keys" she didn't reply "EVE!" I screamed. "There on the table" she said, her voice was weak but she didn't cry, I guess she was still in shock. I gave Michael a nod and ran out to the car. I hopped into the driver's seat and sped off breaking every speed limit and running red lights.

I reached the alley and ran down it. I banged on the door, no answer so I shouted "I have changed my mind I want to be your little test dummy, just let me in please" see another thing Claire had taught me, manners,. Myrnin opened the door "ah Mr. Collins, I expect you're here to join Claire" then he stepped aside to let me in. I ran down the stairs and into the lab. Claire was there, staring at me 'what are you doing' she mouthed.

"Ah Shane welcome, now either you can drink my blood or inject yourself with it" Amelie had a cool, smooth voice in which mesmerized you. "Erm whatever you do to her, you do to me"

"Very well, here you go" she tossed me a needle full of black liquid. "Hurry child time is short" she tapped her foot impatiently. "Shane, why are you doing this" Claire whispered in my ear, I had forgotten she was there still "because I love you" I sighed and raised the needle to my arm.

"Stop!" the voice was Claire's voice but Claire hadn't said anything. I turned to Claire and she had the same wide eyed expression I had. Then it made sense.
