"EVE! GET UP HERE NOW!" Claire shouted from her room. Eve raced up the stairs and ran into Claire's room. She did a quick scan of the room to look from danger but when she saw nothing she fixed her gaze on Claire.
"Ok that tone is only for emergency's." Claire rolled her eye's and sighed. She moved away from the laptop so Eve could see it as well.
"Look. I is this what you guys have been hiding from me?" She said pointing to Myrnin's name. Eve read the site slowly and her eye's bulged when she caught on. She got over her first wave of shock and turned to Claire apologetically
"I'm sorry CB. I didn't want to but Myrnin said it was for your own safety."
"I can't believe this. I'm like his great-great-great granddaughter or something." Claire said, she sat down in her chair and gave an exasperated sigh. This was just too much information.
"Your probably a few greats short but yeah. It explains why you guys look so alike."
"Alike?"
"Yeah well cos you both super brainy sciencey people. You have the same hair colour, same eye's." Eve giggled a little "Even the same nose." She burst out laughing then. Claire felt her nose and ran to the mirror. She couldn't believe she hadn't seen this before. It was not only weird but strangely intriguing. Eve's laughter soon subsided.
"I've got to talk to Myrnin." Claire said. She didn't wait for a reply she just walked straight out the door. Why in the name of hell, didn't he tell me. She thought to herself.
"I bet he'll make up some excuse like 'It was for your own safety.'" She said to herself. Making a lame Myrnin impression at the end. "Garlic is soo going up his arss."
Claire was halfway there. She heard foot steps behind her and her first reaction was to run. But she remembered what she was and decided to see who it was, then she could decide if running was still a good idea. When she looked around it was Damien. He was smiling at her. She couldn't help but think of the picture of the little seven year old boy, smiling at her with big green eye's and dimples. So sickly sweet. She also started to remember Myrnin's words of warning I would stay away from him if I was you. she repeated the words in her head to herself. The nagging voice in the back of her head told her to run. But that would be impolite.
"Hello Claire." He smiled in her direction and waved.
"Hi Damien." Claire kept walking and he soon caught up. He matched her pace as they walked closer to Myrnin's lair.
"How have you been?"
"Alright I guess….Erm I'm in a bit of a hurry." She said ,nodding her head in the direction she was going. She speed up even more now, but he easily matched her again.
"That's a shame. Because whatever you were hurrying too, you wont get there." Before Claire could even process the words she felt a harsh pain on the back of her head. It wasn't enough to knock her out but he quickly grabbed her and pulled her into an alley that wasn't Myrnin's.
