Claire:

I woke up to the sound of screaming. That could never be a good sign. I jumped out of bed, I slapped Shane's arm and got changed as quickly as I could. He did the same and we both ran down the stairs.

He threw me a stake and I caught it and he picked up a gun slowly from the hallway.

I was slightly alarmed as to where he had got a gun from, but let t drop. I hid behind him as we stalked down the stairs. Shane aimed the gun everywhere until we were in the living room. He aimed the gun right at Eve.

I peered around him and screamed. There was the explanation. A zombie was lying over her, trying to eat her up.

Shane shot quickly at the zombie and it fell to the floor, I spun and shrieked. I shoved the stake forwards into another zombie's chest. Where was Oliver and Michael!

"Oliver!" I shouted, more zombies were coming through from the basement. Shane aimed the gun at the entrance and was shooting with everything he had. I covered my ears as I ran to Eve.

She gave me a thumbs up when I looked at her, asking whether she was okay through eye contact. No bite marks. Good.

The zombie's were slow and Eve was using everything she had to get it away from her. Maybe the training that we had been doing was even a little helpful? I ran into the kitchen and took out a bag of weapons, I threw Eve a crossbow and she loaded it with thin stakes.

I wanted to try a new weapon, one that Myrnin had made a while ago. I took it out and held it in my arms. It was heavy but hopefully would do some damage.

It would throw some sort of grenade through the air and it would explode the minute it made contact with something, it would burn everything around it with dark smoke. Any vampire. I hoped that it would work on the dead too. Well, vampires were dead...But you get the idea.

I threw myself in front of Shane, backing away from the door and I aimed down into the basement. I released the tension and it flew down and I kicked a zombie backwards, with everything I had.

It stumbled backwards and I shut the door hard, Shane helped me to keep it closed. Eve shot the last zombie which was in the room and I heard the explosion loud in my ears and then the sound of bodies burning. I smirked slightly at him and he kissed me hard on the lips.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I want you to tell me that later." I nodded and Eve ran up the stairs, looking for either vampire.

"Michael! Oliver!" Eve yelled and they came out of Michael's room seconds later.

"I'm guessing you survived then." Oliver said as he walked past her and down the stairs.

"What the hell Oliver?" I yelled, Michael came down in a flash and blocked the door off to the basement by hammering wooden planks onto it, everywhere. Making it impossible for it to ever open again. Eve ran down after Michael and held him close to her.

It was like they were never going to let go and they probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for Oliver who walked into the room. Fury erupted through me.

"How could you let that happen? Eve could have died, Oliver! Michael! You love her! What were you thinking?" I yelled at them both, Shane wrapped his arms around me from behind. Keeping me close to him and stopping me from doing anything stupid.

"I wanted to test whether you actually took in anything from our recent training. And you have done, thankfully. Well done, would you like a sticker?" I glared at him and he walked into the kitchen and I sighed, leaning back against Shane, not really sure what to do now.

He let me go slowly and I kissed his cheek, I followed Oliver into the kitchen and he slammed the fridge door shut. Eyes dark.

"Oliver, what's going on?" I asked as I made a cup of coffee.

"There's no blood left, we need to go out and get some urgently. Soon, Michael will be dangerous to be around, as will I." I swallowed and sat down at the table, sipping my drink slowly.

"Well, you could always get the blood-mobile to come and deliver some?" I asked,

"Possibly. I'll ring, I honestly have no clue how our founder is doing." He sighed and snatched the phone from the side and stormed up the stairs.

I ran a hand through my hair and Eve came into the kitchen, making herself a cup of coffee, sitting opposite me. She put the crossbow down and smiled slightly, her Goth makeup was not there today and she looked younger and innocent.

She looked up at me from the coffee, "well that was certainly another near-death experience and it's not even noon." She groaned and I laughed slightly, it felt good to laugh. Everything had been so serious for the past few days.

"We need more food," Shane said as he walked into the kitchen. "I had nothing for dinner last night and I'm starving."

"There's no blood left either, we need more supplies." Michael appeared behind Eve suddenly, leaning against the wall. I nodded slowly,

"It is possible to get them you know? You and Oliver won't get infected and everything will be fine." Michael nodded slowly.

"I know that, but Oliver and I are worried about the whereabouts of Amelie and Myrnin."

"Myrnin! Oh my God!" I yelled and pulled my phone out from my jeans pocket, Shane sighed. Their relationship hadn't exactly been the best recently.

Shane always thought that there was something going on between me and my Boss, when there never had been and never will be. I dialled his number and walked out the room up to mine and I locked the door. He answered slowly, sounding panicked.

"I can't talk right now, Claire. I'm far too busy." He explained in a rushed tone. Well, what was he doing on the phone? I expected the device to be thrown in a ditch somewhere.

"Myrnin! Your alive!" I couldn't help the excitement bubble through me. I cared about him, yes of course I did.

"Yes, I am. Now what is it that you want?" He asked, sounding irritated. I heard him push something aside and the sound of drilling.

"Myrnin, what are you doing?" I asked, worried instantly.

"Blocking those creatures out of my lab," he spat.

"Wait, why are they there? Your a vampire, they shouldn't affect you." I bit my lip, waiting for his response as he murmured something unintelligent. Unlike him.

"A human came here for blood delivery and they followed, I killed him and brought him inside. They want his body." I shuddered slightly, a cold shiver running down my side.

"Myrnin, listen to me. Throw the body out to them and get here as soon as you can. I need you here. We need to stop this...Disease."

"And how do you plan on doing that my young apprentice?" He asked, I heard the sound of Frank in the background and Myrnin growled low at him.

"I need you here, Claire. I mustn't leave the lab."

"I can't get there, it would be a suicide mission! Most of the town is dead!" I cried out and he sighed,

"That's the only way in which we can solve this. We can take samples from them and figure out what they are exactly then we can find a way to...cure them." He paused, "Or we can carry on as we are. Living like animals, killing anything in site."

"Myrnin. How do you expect me to get there? I'll need you to come here and pick me up." He grumbled and sighed.

"Fine, I'll be there soon." The phone beeped and I shoved it back in my pocket again. Right, now it was time to talk to Eve and Michael. And Shane. They would never let me go. Ever.
